RELEASE DATE 17.4.2013, orders welcomed NOW!!*BIZARRE UPROAR "Mass / FF" CD (12.00,-) NEWMass CDr from 2001 was such a harsh noise bliss Freak Animal decided to re-issue it as 10" vinyl back in 2005. Now several years later. this material still stands pretty much unique in discography of Bizarre Uproar. All his trademarks elements of early days as well as material after 2005 is absent here. Instead you have highly textured. utterly heavy harsh noise wall! This CD re-issue include full uncut original recording (10" had few minutes missing) and as addition. extremely rare "FF" tape from 1999 what is nearly forgotten. It is hardly ever mentioned in any discograpy listings and artists himself had lost his copies. Luckily one copy remained in Industrial Recollections archives. This tape in blood drenched covers. possibly made less than 20 copies represents perfect companion to "Mass". offering incredibly textured brutal harsh noise assault. In total over 50 minutes of playingtime stands as essential addition to anyone's Bizarre Uproar collection due it's unique approach. CD format by Filth & Violence and Industrial Recollections.
*BIZARRE UPROAR "Unsafe And Insane" CD (12.00,-) NEWIf one should mark few milestones in Finnish noise. this is one of them. Bizarre Uproars return into activity after few years of small activity resulted flood of releases what could be said culminated in debute full length LP issued by Dogma Chase (japan). Level of filth & violence has been target of vast amout of imitators and admired by loyal followers. Sweat. tears. piss. shit. chains whipping rusty metal objects. strangulation. scat smeared faces and black boots stomping life out of scum. Unsafe And Insane is finally released in CD format by Filth & Violence and Industrial Recollections.
*BUDRÜS "Canine Visions IX" CD (12.00,-) NEWI'm almost out of words when I need to describe what Budrus really is. I'm certain no "sample track" will help you grasp the excellency of this album. Releasing this masterpiece has been delayed beyond reasonable time. but as it managed to evade categorization and trends. it is so timeless that year here or there won't hurt. Budrus is duo consisting members of Girnų Giesmės and Pogrom. Knowing little by these two projects may help one to be aware of possibilities. but Budrus manages to go beyond being mere "collaboration" and contain project of its own identity. Wonderful instrument drones. melancholy slow melodies and diversity of compositions and textures and combined with power of ultra masculine vocal performance of Leonardas Marozas. Artwork and lyrics combined with strange combinations of atmosphere. melancholy. aggressive force and tasty effects is beyond anything I hear anyone else doing. Downtempo. ambient/drone with the forcefullness of power electronics without having almost any musical similarities to mentioned genres. Don't expect easy genre music. give it a try and be rewarded! FA-CD-075 Freak Animal
*JAAKKO VANHALA "Here Be Lions" CD (12.00,-) NEWEven if it feels somehow arrogant to worship something you just released. I can't take credit for making the material. I simply heard "Here Be Lions" material before it was released as tape and even if this was scheduled for magnificent Sprachlos Verlag label. I immediately told this is simply too good to be 100 copies tape what will disappear in current flood of north european noise. It was agreed there must be CD release and I'm proud to say this represents possibly the best harsh noise CD ever released in north europe. It goes right up there. next to genre defining milestone. It has all the necessary elements. Fierce and brutal sound full of energy. Hands on approach with strong focus on physical object. Utmost care on textures and subtle details. Individual sounds sources. tape manipulations. mixdown and composition. Even if cd includes some material previously heard on tape. it stand strong as proper album. Essential for fanatics of noise with passion and artistic intergrity! FA-CD-073 Freak Animal.
https://soundcloud.com/vanhala/secret-dream-full*PEENEMÜNDE "II" CD (12.00,-) NEWI wasn't personally very excited when Peenemunde approached with their first recordings. I gave harsh critics and eventually project decided to completely re-do the material what eventually became their (improved) debut album. Case was entirely different with this second full length. I saw their great live performance and had opportunity to hear some raw out-takes of upcoming second album. Instantly I offered to publish material as proper CD. if rest of material stands equally strong. And it does. No critics of suggestions was needed. On first album P. Perä-Takala (Sick Seed) and P. Dassum (Umpio) basically combined the known elements of their projects as mere "collaboration". but now Peenemunde stands as project of its own identity! Second assault of Peenumunde abandons smashing junk metals and enters the dark laboratory of poisonous experiments with cold electronics! Duo created material live on tape in sessions what to me sounds unlike anyone else does. It has the cold electric feel. without the elements of "techno". It has the fierce junk metals. without fitting into line with other junk metal noisers out there. It is rotten sound from gutters of laboratory. without being unnecessary "lofi" or poor quality. Thematically Peenemünde is based on inventiveness of mankind in the field of warfare and cruelty. concentrating especially on WWII. Essential!
