War Games 95-99 is the definitive and extended collection of the ultimate teenage midwestern three-piece noise band notorious for live shows using a full desktop computer on stage. While there were predecessors to the stage, Flutter was the first mostly computer-generated noise to emerge from the harsh noise subculture dominated by pedals in the '90s tape scene. Unapologetically domestic, Flutter blended seemingly wholesome Midwest extracurricular activities with a soundtrack of suburban angst and placed all of this in a psycho-melancholic explosion of blinded circuitry, twisted band-room freak out and full-on bedroom ultra-creativity that only invention as necessity could birth. Flutter have remained a project for those in-the-know and are the phoenix who rose on the elegant and sinister Elsie And Jack And Chair CD compilations, splits on Xerxes and Bob Marinelli's distorted vision record and who were poised for graduation on the Groundfault album that should have been, here they rise from smoke of the '90s and now firmly rest the trophy of history on the mantel of today's noise-americana. Brutal and fun -- this 6CD box is a collection based around their proper full-length cassette -- War Games -- and extends into obscurities such material from splits with Âmes Sanglantes, Napalm Jesus, material for Joe Lombardo and essentially unheard relics of live recordings, the mysterious Self Abuse tape for Patrick O'Neil's distribution and the fabled and notorious unreleased Groundfault recordings full length CD! Includes unseen time capsule live and recording photos, liner notes/mini poster, and download code, packaged in clamshell box. Painstaking cassette restoration and detective work by Kris Lapke.

Abfall and Prurient present Smokestacks. A smokestack theatre is an open, usually cyclical, pollution factory stereotypically used in dark skulls. Such skulls and the faces they support have flue gas stacks, hence the name "smoke flu" and produce a high volume of congestion and respiratory creative illness. The earliest era of electric power development, coal fired electric stations in urban opera houses were common prior to the use of alienating currents for lighting as direct current electricity could only travel a short distance -- through face make up for use under heavy spot stage lighting. For example -- the distance from the temple to the eye socket. Or the nasal cavity to the cheek bones. Smokestacks are dark skulls. Don't ever forget their loud and rising voices as you approach the smokestack curtains of the theatre. Black vinyl edition. Includes digital download code.

Powdered Beatles is Richard Ramirez and Dwayne Cathey. Meat Locker is Dominick Fernow. In old ancient Egyptian tombs, the first incendiary devices were discovered and locked into jade encrusted cases. The cases were found clutched in the charred bodies of the fire army. The fire not as in the fire that burns inside, but the fire used to keep the frost around hanging meat. Black vinyl edition. Includes digital download code.

Back in the Middle Ages, when people commuted to work something sinister and something primary colored was brewing. Satanic Hair Dye. True crime cosmopolitans were conjured through various doorways to hell. One of those is the entire city of present-day Los Angeles where The Germs and Rodney collect coupons and groupies. A place where the bright lights are seriously Luciferian and the dreams are the dreams of fallen angels. Acid children party freely in the underpasses and cement iron courtyards of the sigil known as the LA freeway. Yellow Gas Flames' first full-length album uses brutal sampling, speedy ultra crumbling trash static and garbage people laden manic panic recycling. Pages of the satanic bible are torn up and painstakingly reassembled daily in a bizarre commuter ritual. Some surprise industrial cuts may cause a severe question of faith. Yellow Gas Flames hold tightly to their middle fingers raised. A bold expression of necropolis hair caressing teasing and starching. Black vinyl. Digital download included.

Continuing where the predecessor left off, Torture Chain returns with an ambitious and effectively excited symphonic barbaric black death metal saga that could have easily lived on the nocturnal art productions label. Despite its mythological underpinnings, the immense violence of the hooks will not one rest and the various detours and illusions assuredly take one to task with the old adage of "stick to the path." The path here is made of slick marble, hot springs, and blood and booze. The oxidation effects still turns those idols green and eventually grey. Lay down on the cold marble and let the gods do their bidding. Deluxe wide spine jacket with insert. Hard and crystalline production supports the abusive voice of torturer.

LP version. Includes metallic print and insert. Also includes digital download. Very few bands have survived such a duration and Outre-Tombe, whom previously rested alongside other predecessors from North America, has now decidedly outlived the majority. The elements are traditional and youthful -- but in the end their black metal is singular and theirs alone. Six concise refined tracks where the evil spirit of displaced youth returns to haunt and rattle inside the skeletons of the modern world.

A sinister blend of past, present and future old tower atmospheres, instrumentation and some seductively destructive surprises secure a place in the canon of dark music. The travels of the dragon's disciples have taken them to vast forests of mystery and somber castles hidden away between the stars and celestial mysteries. There was much to unravel that which was learned during these excursions into the dark and the first of veils has been lifted, giving an entrance into the complex mind of the horned serpent. "It rears its scaly head around a black granite column, its eyes penetrating the dust that coats the remnants of a forgotten dungeon. Its scales are adorned with ancient writings and strange symbolism, carefully inscripted by the architects that built the connection between firmament and souls. Its spirit is one of knowledge and arrogance, letting its dreams woefully tear into the fabrics of reality...." Deluxe tip on gatefold CD with spot gloss and metallic print.

Limited repress now available! 12 years after Hospital Productions released the first Raspberry Bulbs album, the band returns to the label with their most focused offering to date. Gone are the interludes found on their last two albums. This time RB has distilled all their strengths into 11 concise songs. Listeners may be tempted to mention "noise rock" or "post punk" in describing the sound, but RB thinks outside the limits of any genre, and stands in contrast to those whose approach amounts to failed exercises in style. The band spent two years boiling each song down to its essence, while sacrificing none of the power and dynamics found on previous records. Somehow the results are both more metallic and more melodic. The vocals, in particular, are fittingly more venomous this time, with their vitriol aimed at the current narrow-minded, oppressive "underground" landscape. Prepare yourself. Recorded among the ruins of the Belvedere Inn, Stamford New York, in 2023. Digital download code included.

From the no man's land of smoke stacks, Atlantic City and Newark airport, the highways of Angel Dust Whore and Vandal X, rests the condemned infrastructure known as Abfall. One of the early purveyors of dial-up noise communications through the early noiseweb site which collected label news, interviews, and the rare and explicit live photos from the '90s scene, Abfall was the humble but vital project of its founder. Known from macabre collaborations with Navicon Torture Technologies and the utterly hard-corrugated steel battered split tape from Mother Savage with Japan's AMB, Abfall produced a disturbingly diverse section of understated, gestural, concrete, turntable and bass loop works -- which until now have remained charging like 18v power tool batteries in the archive of Jersey's most polluted shore. Nitrous Oxide exposes you and perhaps someone you used to love with the poor air quality of the only living New Jersey avant-garde. Presented in "high" deluxe double-CD digi pack. Faithfully restored by Kris Lapke. Digital download code included.

An infected journey through humid vine like enclosures and vicious leaf blades with a tangy serrated edge where one might observe a little too closely the multi-colored wandering spiders over oaks hanging and sucking the sharp edges of the razor, a sudden shine of reflected alumni light could perhaps enter the cornea and a dangerously precise interval pre-empting the reflex to shut your eyes. At last, crawling on hands and stone along a rocky and unstable footing -- the enormous shale mouth opens and a gust of ancient steam -- one letter at a time spells your name in front of you. The Devil. James Light's debut Wounded Son LP is of special note, containing a fresh self-mutilated otherworldly vocal performance convincing the dying now alive and the living now damned of their doom. Where others are trapped into a rigid sense of mechanical predicted outcomes, James has captured something largely missing from a dark pallet -- psychedelic without any of the pretentious BS of "expanding one's mind" but rather a very long small space to slip into with a forever out a reach horizon line with limited breaths. 180gram clear vinyl in deluxe jacket with metallic print and mini poster. Download code included. Also featuring Degloving.
