KEN TIMBER "Worried Blues" CD-R (Opposite Records, USA)
Ken's new album demonstrates his hands-on, lo-fi style of computer-generated music. Three tracks that explore the human condition (Ken's condition, at least) through the manipulation of big pieces of sampled sound.

JUNKO - MASAYOSHI URABE - MICHEL HENRITZI: "Ecstasy of the Angels" CD (Opposite Records, USA)
The formidable trio recorded live. Michel Henritzi creates bleak, fractured landscapes with snare drum, wood and metal junk, turntable and feedback. Cult favorite Masayoshi Urabe adds uneasy atmosphere with alto sax and guitar. The banshee vocals of Junko bring almost undescribable dread to the mix.

KEN TIMBER "Regurgitated Music" Cassette (Opposite Records, USA)
Pro-duplicated chrome tape is the perfect medium for 37 minutes of Ken's unique approach to noise. Sloppy guitar, synth, loops and software were utilized. Various levels of fidelity were achieved. Noise is fun--don't forget it!

HS52bis "Les 3 Girafes/Kill metal hate in ur body" CD-R (Opposite Records, USA)
Two previously rare albums now on one pro-duplicated 60-minute cd-r. Old-school electronics, manipulated voices and harsh bursts make for some cool listening. Edition of 200 copies.

DEATH'S HEAD QUARTET: "Death's Head Quartet" CD (Opposite Records, USA)
Free jazz meets grindcore. Take a noise bath! Rob Williams (Siege, Nightstick), Seth Putnam (A.C.), Jim Hobbs (Fully Celebrated Orchestra) and Chris Joyce (The Nothings) join up to blow the roof off the world of heavy music. This debut studio album is an uncompromised, uninhibited, harsh, challenging, and intensely satisfying dose of music. You better love 'em or leave 'em alone.

LAP DANCER: "Noise For Skirt Manipulation" CD-R (Opposite Records, USA)
Harsh noise heads will definitely get a rush from this one. No overdubbing or editing. Swirling, squealing distortion and feedback. High speed, intense impact. Small edition release.

$6.00

KK NULL: "Erg per Galaxy" CD (Opposite Records, USA)
One of the finest works of KK Null's career, he modestly calls this "high-quality cosmic noise." A fierce expression of Nulltronics created without synthesizers, guitar, or computers. I say it brings to mind radio transmissions from other planets and electrical storms being shaped by KK's hand. Intensely trance-inducing.

MERZBOW: "Merzzow" CD (Opposite Records, USA)
MERZZOW combines animal concepts and deconstructions of 20th century music, ambient drones and a deep grinding groove, synth tones and harsh bursts of liquid electricity in a varied and dynamic 11 tracks in 70 minutes that is sure to please all you fans. It is even accessible enough that it makes a perfect introduction for your friends who have never heard Merzbow music before. (For those of you that don't know, 'zou' is the japanese word for 'elephant'. Pronounce it 'mertz-zoh'.)

"Great album! Showcases the new-found range of sounds and structures that Merzbow began to explore with his Powerbooks... 'Inside Looking Out Pt.1' is stunning, beautiful. Processed melodic droning guitar loops are joined by rythmic noise loops in a 9 minute track that starts off quietly and builds to a great intensity. 'Koshinzuka' is a short piece of rotating tones, synthetic textures, and stereo manipulation. 'Music Machine' is another 9 minute epic of processed loops and guitar... And with 'Horse', we find Akita-Sensei revisiting his late 80's style of brutality in a new school laptop way... There is a lot to like about this cd. Recommended."
--The Internet Merzbow Database. Thanks, Anthony!

STINKPIPE: 7" (Stinkpipe/Opposite Records, USA)
6 songs on 7" vinyl. Looking for a slab of down and dirty Massachusetts punk? Right this way, ladies. Like MC Trachiotomy might say, cross a high octane drag strip and an underwater train wreck--yer smelling Stinkpipe. Punk's not dead, it's just outside with filthy blue flesh, waiting to drink yer effin' blood.

CADAVER EYES: "Mesarveem Lihyot Covshim" CDr (Heart & Crossbone, Israel)
"Performed in January 2009, as an act of protest against the Gaza atrocities crafted by the Israeli government, this live recording from Cadaver Eyes captures the avant-doom duo more soaring and battering than ever. The inconceivable cover photos used for this release (taken by Gaza based photographer Shareef Sarhan), portray the destroyed houses of Gaza and function as the most graphic moribund testimony for this unreasonable act of brutality - there's no doubt about it - yet Cadaver Eyes' horrific music accompanies those shivering remains and demonstrates the grief and the loss, while demanding back sanity in a world that becomes less and less humane.
These 36 minutes are as emotional as Cadaver Eyes can get and are a hard task to listen to, but you have to.
This release is limited to 100 numbered copies."

$12.00

$16.00
CADAVER EYES/BURMESE: "Split CD" CD (Heart & Crossbone, Israel)
"Like demented twins in crime, Burmese (tUMULt / Load Records) & Cadaver Eyes rephrase Doom, Grindcore and Power Electronics by using an agonizing mechanism of plain brutal aesthetics, ascending these genres to a higher level of cognitive surge.
This split CD is difficult and pungent, a warm spew in the face and an endless buzz in the eardrum that fiercely occupies the brain and treats the grey cells as if they were an ashtray. A crude awakening and a classic case of ponderous self indulgence."

CADAVER EYES: "NO TIME TO HASTE CD + THE ACQUISITION OF POWER OVER FIRE EP" CDr (Heart & Crossbone, Israel)
"Future grindcore is here, this release contains; "NO TIME TO HASTE" recorded aug, 2001 @ Austin Enterprise by Steve Austin of Today Is The Day, and "THE ACQUISITION OF POWER OVER FIRE EP" recorded at Day-Dream 2004.

JASON CRUMER: "Walk With Me" CD (Misanthropic Agenda, USA)
"On his fourth studio album, Jason Crumer has further honed his craftsmanship and focused his vision. Recorded with meticulous precision, every sound is placed, mixed and arranged with purpose. Crumer coaxes an unprecedented depth of sound out of layers of electronics and field recordings. Romantic in nature and cinematic in scope, "Walk with Me" exemplifies Crumer's remarkable approach. The album furthermore attests to his relentless honesty and total dedication to his art."

$13.00
D9: "D9" CD (Heart & Crossbone, Israel)
"Named after one of the most imaginative and infamous key roles in the Israeli occupation, D9 is as merciless as this monstrous bulldozer, ramming reality in its' forehead with their post apocalyptic hectic predictions, directed towards the Israeli state and the worlds' systematic moral corruption, fueling their fury with an offensive portion of old school hardcore punk, and generating this boiling wrath into an original crushing blend of sly grindcore and bare boned power violence hostility, with a fair amount of devastating sludgy riffage and obscure electronic noise intervals to make their squashing sound even more quirky and disturbing.

Recommended if you like Dropdead, Pig Destroyer, Man is the Bastard, Burmese, early Facedowninshit, Capitalist Casualties, Dystopia and Siege."

GERRITT & JOHN WIESE: "The Disappearing Act" CD (Misanthropic Agenda, USA)

Los Angeles resident John Wiese is a member of LHD and Sissy Spacek, and both have been freelance members of drone metal unit Sunn O))). "The Disappearing Act" displays the pair's expertise in pulling transmissions from an elusive dimension utilizing elements of dynamics, noise, rhythm, silence and tone."

HOLLOWING/MAOR APPELBAUM: "Collaborating Torture" CD (Heart & Crossbone, Israel)
"Collaborating Torture is one of the last known recordings made by Matt Gibney AKA Hollowing, who died in January 2006. Gibney, a member of SOIHADTOSHOOTHIM who was also running the important Rectrix label and mail-order, was joined here by the prolific Maor Appelbaum (Grave in the Sky, Poochaltz and Maurizio Bianchi, to name but a few...) to create a brooding and massive 54 minutes track of dark pitch-black ambient of hypnagogic swirls and industrialized drones. Sometimes subtle, yet mostly haunted and delirious, this is highly recommended if you like Wilt, Murderous Vision, Brighter Death Now, Aidan Baker, Z'ev, Daniel Menche, The Caretaker and John Duncan."

KAZUYA ISHIGAMI: "Modest Way of Life" CDr (Neus-318, Japan)
One of the best albums so far from Kazuya Ishigami (Daruin). Meditative, almost ambient glitch/cut-up style. Really recommended.

MONEYISGOD: "M.A.R.K.Z." CD (Heart & Crossbone, Israel)
"Japan's best kept secret are back with a new album! Fronted by Kan of the legendary 80's punk-thrash act The Asbestos, MONE¥I$GOD has been flooding the Japanese underground scene with sheer originality for over a decade by practicing their perpetual belligerence and inimitable crossover between virulent sludge-doom, grim noise rock and endless post punk latitudes.
M.A.R.K.Z kicks off with the tribal pummeling of "Cancer" and continues with the supposedly friendly "Murasaki", but it's only a devious act of diversion before "Black Rainbow" smoothly barge in with a caustic ska rhythm section, super-thick bassline, and above all, Kans' matchless gargling vocals that rumble throughout the entire album like a decisive instigator. "Waltz" lashes right after as a scorching crescendo with its' perforating and frantic gradual guitar parts and functions as a great build up for the epic "Hate Song" - a panegyric-like wayward track of unblemished loathing for humanity. The doom-dubbed remix for "Black Rainbow" by Balata (David OPP & Finkelstein of Lietterschpich fame) is the final aggressor that perfectly ends this veritable album of gashed hymns and surged audacities.
Recommended if you like Killing Joke, Zeni Geva, LEWD, Pailhead, Arab on Radar, Christpunchers, Six Finger Satellite, The EX, Nomeansno etc."

DAVE PHILLIPS: "?" CD (Heart & Crossbone, Israel)
"Assembled between April and June 2009 as part of a therapeutic process during a period dominated by severe disturbances of loss, mental abysses and despair, "?" is the new gospel from Swiss experimentalist Dave Phillips, co-founder of grindcore legend Fear of God, a member of the sense-perplexing Schimpfluch-Gruppe and the pulverizing force behind the Rudimentary Peni one-man-doom-drone worship act Dead Peni, among numerous other projects.
"?" offers a 79 minutes album of field recordings oriented compositions that feature murky cello, piano and accordion parts, nocturnal voices, a vast array of concrete snippets and more resonances of existences that give Albert Aylers' "Music is the healing force of the universe" new depths and meanings. "?" sees Phillips observing and carefully dissecting his human psyche into ten intimate and innovative music pieces, confronting them with the bile and degradation of the omnipresent while deconstructing his own ravage with a binding urge to cleanse. And it's a fascinating insight to listen to.
Brilliantly mastered by Rashad Becker."

RAXINSKY: "The Anti-apopathiaphulatophobicoustical Days" CD (Heart & Crossbone, Israel)
"A brutal slap in the face coming your way from Belgium's Raxinasky. With six tracks, representing six cathartic days in less than 45 minutes, Raxinasky are taking their multi-ultra-anti-musical and hateful attitude one step further into a sonic battlefield of nihilist prog-core, slanted death metal, deranged NO-WAVE and mutant grindcore revolts.
Recommended if you like The Flying Luttenbachers, Monno, Ruins, Hella, ZU, Happy Family, Discordance Axis and Cephalic Carnage."

Various Artists: "What Pleasing the Lord Looks Like - Marriage: Extreme Noise… and Terror from Japan and Israel" CD (Heart & Crossbone, Israel)
"Not a tribute album for the legendary U.K Grind-Crust band, nor a religious initiative, but a glimpse into the cathartic underground of the Japanese and Israeli noise and doom scenes.
All tracks are previously unreleased & exclusive for this compiation; blasting off with the traditionally-oriented and bizarre doom of Osaka's Ryokuchi, This is an exquisite slow-paced 10 minutes guilt trip down memory lane. Next up are Jaffa's Cadaver Eyes, taking this trip off track with their corrosive Sloth-Doom: Zenocide drag you down the wilderness, while wiping the soil with their lo-fi sludge-core indignation, and then cums LietterSchpichDiet, with their demonic Doom-Dub and heliocentric swirl: MONEYI$GOD are up next, spreading their own cancer with a lethal dose of industrialized and Sludge-grudge, before Poochlatz poison the air with their battered Power Electronics and primitive industrial: Jerusalem's Remesh elaborate the damage with a hellish ceremony of their own, dripping gradually brutal drops of industrial-noise before Osaka's Nerveless wraps it up with a squashing, heavy as fuck, guitar-drone that would linger on and on.
The Lord never seemed so pleased."
