Mauthausen Orchestra was one of the most important musical projects of the Italian industrial scene in the '80s and has contributed to the birth of the power electronics and harsh noise across the globe. Tape after tape has constituted, in a few years, the backbone of what we will know as an alienating and extremist style, made of metal nightmares and sonic torture, often dilated, dissected and extended up to the limit of endurance. Mauthausen Orchestra carry you as real rituals of a civilization without gods, in a pure world of suffering. Infinite modulations towards a sky that has now disappeared and locked in concrete. A fierce nihilism that overflows into the undefined territory between mind and matter, marking your brains and your skin. A single act of sensory rape trying to deconstruct any rational particle that approaching the sound composition. About almost ten years after the death of Pierpaolo Zoppo, an unforgettable artist and a forerunner of industrial music with his Mauthausen Orchestra cult" project, this new release of completely unreleased material -- containing tracks he composed between 2009 and 2012 -- is released by Urashima in double cassette format, after CD format released last year by Standa, with five bonus tracks (for a total about forty minutes of unreleased material) not present on CD. This new work -- a release which has been officially authorized by his family -- shows Pierpaolo Zoppo at the peak of his artistic maturity: after investigating the most extreme and intransigent sounds for years with impetus, he finds a moment of reflection and some quietness, without completely abandoning its original instinctive and "wild" nature, he knocks corners and softens forms, giving fifteen tracks of music/non-music as "strong" as ever, but at the same time touching and "poetic" as never before. Private Thoughts Recordings (the title of the album was taken from notes that Pierpaolo himself had pinned with a felt-tip pen on a few home-burned discs containing his original recordings) is perhaps the best gift that the artist could have left you before departing for his long journey, and the most intense proof of his deep sensitivity and his incredible avant-garde "sound visions". Housed in a beautiful deluxe wooden box of seven inch size with five doble face inserts with nine collage by Stefano Gentile and audio compiled and mastered by Pierpaolo's longtime friend Giuseppe Verticchio. Double cassette in a limited edition of 99, hand numbered copies; includes download code.

Mauthausen Orchestra remains one of the pioneering exploits from the early Italian industrial scene along with Maurizio Bianchi and Atrax Morgue. Pierpaolo Zoppo released tapes of his Mauthausen Orchestra project on the shocking Aquilifer Sodality label from 1982 to 1986. Zoppo didn't leave much to the imagination with the titles of these early works: Anal Perversions (1985), Murderfuck (1983) or Bloodyminded (1984), just to name a few. His releases carry the listener to real rituals of a civilization, without gods, in a pure world of suffering. Infinite modulations toward a sky that has now disappeared and become locked in concrete. His complete devotion to extreme sexual pleasures makes his ultraviolent attacks the ultimate enjoyments, relinquishing any moral obligation in the pursuit. Orgies Of Crime comes as twelve white cassettes with silver double body print in a white cardboard box set with deluxe silver silkscreen on Fedrigoni Constellation; Includes four inserts; Edition of 99 (hand-numbered). Orgies Of Crime includes the following twelve titles: 2nd Movement (1983), From Homicide To Slaughter, Conflict (1983), Muderfuck (1983), Bloodyminded (1984), Vernichtung Lebenunwerten Leben (1984), Necrofellatio (1983), Mafarka (1984), Dedicated To J. Goebbels (1983), They Never Learn! (1985), Anal Perversions (1985) and Host Sodomy (1986).

Urashima present the first vinyl version of Mauthausen Orchestra's Murderfuck, originally released on cassette in 1983. Tape after tape, Mauthausen Orchestra, aka Pierpaolo Zoppo, constituted in a few years, the backbone of what is known as an alienating and extremist style, made of metal nightmares and sonic torture, often dilated, dissected and extended up to the limit of endurance. They've become one of the most important musical projects of the Italian industrial scene and contributing to the birth of the power electronics and harsh noise across the globe. Murderfuck is brutal with harsh tones that cut through the air. This amazing reissue LP is a co-production between Officina Fonografica Italiana and Urashima. "Since 1982, the Mauthausen Orchestra, Pierpaolo Zoppo being the mastermind, have developed their brutal tendencies, reaching, by the last productions, the highest standards of sonic power. With Necrofellatio (UMA 101LP, 1983) begins the flirtation with the Aquilifer Sodality sexual impetus, and the M.O. support the sonorous stimulation offered by The Sodality with their elating power electronics mastery. Their complete devotion to extreme sexual pleasures makes their ultra-violent attacks the ultimate enjoyments." -- Amen magazine, September, 1985. Mastered from the original tape. Pressed on 140 gram black vinyl with a black label and a black inner sleeve. Comes in a deluxe silver silkscreen on a black cardboard sleeve. Edition of 200.

One of the key figures of the Italian industrial scene, Pierpaolo Zoppo started releasing tapes of his Mauthausen Orchestra project on the astonishing Aquilifer Sodality label in 1982. Zoppo didn't leave much to the imagination with the titles of these early works. Sex. Death. Blood. Dealing with such topics as sexual violence, perversion, torture, and murder without sounding cheap and careless is not an easy task. Mauthausen Orchestra's atmosphere, one of true debauchery and calculated sickness; and its raw recording procedures, authentic and true lo-fidelity, have yet to be matched. Mauthausen Orchestra remains one of the pioneering exploits from the incredibly macabre Italian industrial scene that began with Maurizio Bianchi and continued through Zoppo's project, Sigillum S, The Sodality, and the later work of Atrax Morgue. It's hard to ignore how the extremity of the poetics from the Italian scene literally bleeds beyond art and into life for many of these artists. This box set contains first-time CD reissues of four challenging Mauthausen Orchestra noise decimations originally released on cassette in the early 1980s, fully remastered from the original tapes. Anal Perversions (1985) communicates a fierce nihilism that overflows into the undefined territory between sex and maniac desire, marking our brains and our skin; a single act of sensory rape that tries to deconstruct any rational particle that might approach the sound composition. Host Sodomy (1985) represents an unprecedented noise assault and spares no form of perversion, relinquishing any moral obligation in the pursuit. Bloodyminded (1984) offers one side of oppressive noise devolving into anguished vocal terror, and another, slightly more nuanced side, adhering to a similar schematic. If nothing else is doing it for you, try this at your own risk. 2nd Movement (1983) carries us, once again, into real rituals of a civilization without gods in a pure world of suffering. Infinite modulations toward a sky that has now disappeared and become locked in concrete. Each CD is housed in individual mini-LP gatefold sleeves with new art. Packaged in a hard black box with white lettering ink. Limited to 199 copies.
