Mortiis is one of the most singular and transcendental electronic artists of the past 30 years and it was an absolute honor for us all to get a chance to speak with him. What transpired was a riveting discussion on the entire body of work left by Mortiis, Vond and beyond. We get into his relationship with Cold Meat Industry, working with Merzbow, his early electronic music influences, and so much more. Join us and we wander through castle ruins and crooked paths with Mortiis.

We will never get enough of Slaughter Productions, so we decided to take a look at 3 individual cassettes released by the label: Stratvm Terror "The Only True Septic Whore," Slogun "A Breed Apart," and Contagious Orgasm "Defective Merchandise."

We add a cassette compilation - "Slaughter Age 95" - on the Extra Noisextra for our patrons, showcasing Marco’s knack for putting together outstanding comps.

Penetrate the void with The Haters "Drunk on Decay." Justin Lakes joins us to erode this classic CD from 1997. It was one of the most widely available Haters albums at the time and it’s impact is still felt today. GX provided us with some background info on this album as well as other "Drunk on Decay" performances. De-cay is good-cay!

background and filters it through the early 90s world of RRR and SSS. Bang on an oxygen tank and slide your fingers along piano strings. Penderecki's Children indeed.

Crimson and viscous, Yen Pox "Blood Music" flows into our veins. This 1995 album is an absolute classic in the world of dark ambient, and the twilight territory it places us in is intoxicating. Blot out the sun and cover the world in "Blood Music."

We return to the Pure series to cover Prick Decay’s "Mud Sound for Car Stereos" as recommended by guest Anthony Saunders. Fitting perfectly in the realm of mid '90s RRR sound, we all wallow in the tape hiss and crudeness provided Prick Decay. In addition, Dylan Nyoukis provided some background info on this CD. How will your milk taste?

Enter a place of mystery with Grim's "Folk Music" album from 1986. There's really no other album like it, and we get wrapped up in its blend of austerity, violence, and pure vision. We go from places of worship to rooms filled with oil drums to the Alps and many more places in between. Throw out all expectations and embrace the world of Grim.

Matt Purse (Oxen, Unsustainable Social Condition) brought us a major noise LP to discuss — the first Hanatarash album on Alchemy. Matt’s love and knowledge of Hanatarash and all of Eye’s work is evident and incredibly exciting. Throw out any regard for your safety, fire up the bulldozer, and plow into this legendary band and album.

An absolute classic VHS called for our first in-person episode in a long time as we all got together to watch "Kingdom of Noise: Japanese Noise Selection." Truly mandatory viewing for everyone, it was great to revisit as these clips were some of the first noise visuals we saw back in the 90s. This tape is a perfect showcase of the breadth of Japanese noise featuring Masonna, Merzbow, Seed Mouth, Incapacitants, and much more. A mandatory look into extreme history.

The junk orchestra is tuning up as we sift through debris with Ferial Confine "The Full Use of Nothing." Squeals becomes notes, layers become voices, and chaos becomes ambient. An inspiring chunk of 1980s UK noise, this album leads us out of the mundane into the nothingness of total sound.
