Controlled Death is the dark side project by the Japanese noise legend Maso Yamazaki, aka Masonna. In April 2018 he decided to make a shudder debut with first album Symphony For The Black Murder (UMA 125CD) then followed at the beginning of 2019 from second work in an astonishing black wooden box that included Journey Through A Dead Body on vinyl and Deathwish Tapes 1-3 on CD and double-tape (UMA 130LP). Now there's yet another mind-boggling work on double-LP recorded during 2019, Ritualistic Mutilation in the Bloody Darkness. Wild and amazing, this one is absolutely essential for any fan of synth and dark ambient music. Cracked minimal electronic sound by Korg MS-20, unclear and disturbing voice with the influence of primitive black metal and dark ritual in this new double-album which developed a moisturized doom world while wearing a raw material texture. While listening to the records, each long track does meander their way slowly through proceedings with silent pauses, but they nonetheless generate a respectably dense assemblage of sounds. The smell of death is soaked in every groove produced by the four vinyl sides. The activities of Controlled Death are like archaic revival to the music experience before Masonna. You can also find the pathology image of the early industrial period and the shadows of Vienna activism such as Hermann Nitsch as well as loose bits of seminal black metal. The existence and art that pierces through conspicuous consciousness and dives to areas of unconsciousness due to death and pleasure. 140 gram vinyl; deluxe gatefold sleeve with impressive photography (of a cave church with the remains of the people who were massacred by the Saracens in 999 A.D. during the invasion of southern Italy) by Aldo Volpe. Edition of 299.

Controlled Death is the new project by the Japanese noise legend Masonna and Symphony For The Black Murder was first official work released in April 2018 in a vinyl edition of 199 copies. The activities of Controlled Death are like archaic revival to the music experience before Masonna. You can also find the pathology image of the early industrial period and the shadows of Vienna activism such as Hermann Nitsch. The existence and art that pierces through conspicuous consciousness and dives to areas of unconsciousness due to death and pleasure. The tracks on the album are based on obsessive and compulsive synth drones with voice, effects, and tapes. The smell of death is soaked in every sound produced by the brilliant mind of Maso Yamazaki. Anxiety, alienation, and hypochondria turn into a deep paranoia in pain. Without hesitation, the bodies are emptied, leaving the field to an electronics purulence of rare power disconcerting: a perfect Symphony For The Black Murder. This CD issue includes a 30-minute bonus track recorded live during "Black Murder Gig" at Namba Bears Osaka on September 1, 2018. Digipack; edition of 199.

Controlled Death is a new project by the Japanese noise legend Maso Yamazaki, aka Masonna. In April 2018, he decided to make a shudder debut with first album, Symphony For The Black Murder. In this release, Maso Yamazaki tried to commit to the dark side of psychedelia deepest in his own projects history and surprised the fans, but as soon as it gets excited, it is the second work the wooden black box Journey Through A Dead Body (LP) and Deathwish Tapes 1-3 (CD + two cassettes). Cracked minimal electronic sound by Korg MS-20, unclear and disturbing voice, corroded drone effect, with the influence of primitive black metal and dark ritual in Journey Through A Dead Body LP which developed a moisturized doom world while wearing a raw material texture. Anxiety, alienation, and hypochondria turn into a deep paranoia in pain. Without hesitation, the bodies are emptied, leaving the field to an electronics purulence of rare power disconcerting: a perfect journey through a dead body. And the sound contained in the CD and two cassettes called Deathwish Tapes 1-3 are direct feeling which developed the idea at the time to making Journey Through A Dead Body. In order to record it, it is said to be connected to a microphone at the input of the Korg MS-20 and recorded on a cassette tape with a single recording. It is nothing to call it mindfuck, its freshness is only fear. The activities of Controlled Death are like archaic revival to the music experience before Masonna. You will also find the pathology image of the early industrial period and the shadows of Vienna activism, such as Hermann Nitsch. The existence and art that pierces through conspicuous consciousness and dives to areas of unconsciousness due to death and pleasure. While taking death as the strongest drug, the season of second summer of death industrial is coming. About two hours and 30 minutes of astonishing storm of echoes that bangs it into your head. The wooden black box comes with LP, CD digipack, and two cassettes plus postcard, insert, business card, and sheet with notes in Japanese by Tamotsu Mochida (noise/industrial music critic in Japan, the organizer of "Anatano Kikanai Sekai" connect spiritualism and occultism to music and the author of Industrial Music for Industrial People). Edition of 199.
