(sic 19)Control & Grunt & Moribund & Propergol 'St. Bartholomew's Day' 2xC-30
In August 1572 Parisian gutters were filled with Protestant blood. Now,
almost half a century later, 'St. Bartholomew's Day' pays tribute to its
namesake with 60 minutes of all-new recordings.
'St. Bartholomew's Day' finds these artists at the top of their game: the
finessed power electronics of Control; raw, uncompromising brutality from
Grunt; guttered vocals and screaming electronics from Moribund; a
remarkable, evocative ambience from Propergol.
'St. Bartholomew's Day' comes with full colour artwork designed by
Crionic Media and is limited to 100 copies.
$16us/$20au (air mail) postage paid.
The Cipher Productions harsh noise cassette trilogy:
(sic 16)Cracksteel 'Felucca' C-46
The name Cracksteel sits alongside Mo*te, Crackfierce, Killer Bug,
Building Of Gel, RoboChanMan and many others as exemplifying the
incredible noise which emerged from Japan in the mid/late 1990s.
Following a handful of self-released cassettes and a couple of outings
for Self Abuse, Cracksteel disappeared into retirement, seemingly at an end.
But Cipher Productions is immensely pleased to offer 'Felucca', a work
recorded in 1995/1996 alongside Cracksteel's finest moments and only
gaining from its time in the safe. This is Japanese noise the way you
know it and love it, and easily rivals anything done by its
contemporaries listed above.
'Felucca' is packaged in a mini-'video case' with multi-layered artwork
and released in an edition of 50 copies.
$9us/$11au (air mail) postage paid.
(sic 17)Agit8 'I Crusader, No Retreat' C-20
Mr. Michael Bailey has been toiling away in his Queensland home for
years, churning out some of the harshest, most sonically inventive noise
Australia has ever seen. 'I Crusader, No Retreat' takes MDB's talents to
a whole new level, reaching new levels of perfection, patience,
production and creativity.
Not only is 'I Crusader, No Retreat' truly eviscerating, it may just be
the most fucked up adventure I've been taken on my Agit8. For those yet
to discover Agit8's work, I can only ask: what the FUCK?
'I Crusader, No Retreat' is also packaged in a mini-'video case' and
features full colour artwork designed by MDB himself. This first edition
of 20 copies comes with a bonus b-card CDR (an additional title track
presented with accompanying video!).
$9us/$11au (air mail) postage paid.
(sic 18)The Cherry Point 'Rusted Gut' C-30
Los Angeles' favourite bloodletter presents a new lesson in terrornoise,
a twist of the knife which leaves your guts on the floor, momentarily
before your vapid eyes before your corpse twiches to the floor.
'Rusted Gut' includes The Cherry Point's October live performance in
collaboration with Obstacle Corpse and manages to encompass various
facets of the TCP sound -- while always remaining slaughterific.
'Rusted Gut' is presented in an ugly black box with the tape wrapped in a
bandage to prevent further bleeding. Gross.
$8us/$11au (air mail) postage paid.
