Shipping Bullshit

As most of you know the United States Postal Services raised their rates about a month ago.  pretty much all the prices listed in past posts for purchases outside of the United States are now too low and i will need to increase shipping charges.  its a shitty situation all around but there isnt much we can do about it.    

So anyone making a purchase from outside the US please contact for an accurate shipping quote.

Blood Rhythms cs and Contagious Orgasm CD

PT:186 Blood Rythms “Nothing To Declare” c20

Blood Rhythms is a newer project of Arvo Zylo (Mister Fuckhead) with two previous releases on Banned Productions and Land of Decay.  I haven’t heard the other albums but this release is super thick crunchy harsh noise reminiscent of White Gold.  The thickness at times is overwhelming but the infrequent fluctuation in tone gives a bit of room to breathe. 

Edition of 100 copies.

PT:199 Contagious Orgasm “Division and Combination” CD

New release by the legendary Contagious Orgasm containing 6 new tracks and 5 tracks previously released on various comps (Lagrimas De Miedo N'10 – Subduction, (si'ke-del'ik) Volume One, The Walls Are Whispering... Volume III, Peacemakers Inc and Spiral Organ Of Corti).  The material is varied between tracks, including industrial synth beats, guitar based atmosphere and noise collage.  Im a big fan of this long running project and I feel this release shows the multiple dimensions of creativity of the members of the group.

Edition of 500 copies.

Murderous Vision CD

PT:202 Murderous Vision "Black Hellebore - A Quiver of Arrows"

Murderous Vision has been creating dark ambient and power electronics tracks since the late 90's with most releases on his label Live Bait Recordings Foundation.

Black Hellebore contains 6 new tracks plus "Horned Beast of Golgotha" which was previously released on the split cassette with Nyodene D titled Kirkebrennan.  The bulk of the material on this album is well composed atmospheric dark ambient tracks with obvious industrial influence.  Almost half of the tracks have vocals, which range from a spoken word style to heavily distorted power electronics influenced screaming.  

The album was mastered by John Stillings and contains contributions by Amanda Howland, Wyatt Howland, Richard Pflueger, Cunting Daughters, Michael James, Tym Flemming, N Brewer and Aaron Vilk.

RL:ZZ, Hassokk, Hostage Pageant, Plague Mother tapes

Here is a new batch of Phage Tapes along with some sale items and more copies of a sold out release.

PT:182

RL:ZZ “Fragments” c23

RL:ZZ is an ambient project of Andy Lippoldt (Persistence in Mourning) and Ryan Lipynsky (Unearthly Trance).  As far as I know their previous releases were both on Lippoldts Witch Sermon label.  RL:ZZ uses a wide range of sounds including piano, synth, guitar, voices and what sounds like field recordings to compose ominous tracks of ambient bleakness.

Packaging is a 3 color screen printed brad pack designed by Simon Clark

Edition of 100 copies

PT:183

Hassokk “Betono Gniauztai” c30

Hassokk is a more dark ambient droney side project of Lithuanian project Body Cargo (formally Clo Goelach).  Betono Gniauztai is meant to be the second installation for the project following a yet unreleased LP.  The material in this tape is a slow moving creepy industrial soundscape with sections of harshness that don’t become too overpowering.  The B side is my favorite on the release with sounds of hollow wind giving me the impression the listener is stuck in some wasteland feeling the despair of uncertainty.

Hostage Pageant “Hopeless Decline” c20

Hostage Pageant has been crushing peoples brains for a few years now with his brutal harsh noise.  This cassette is full of gritty crunch, quick changes, feedback and thick noise with the intent to make you feel uncomfortable.  I had the chance to see him play live a few days ago and it is something not to be missed.  If your into harsh shit check this dude out if you haven’t, you wont be disappointed.

Edition of 96 copies.

PT:192

Plague Mother “Silent Exit” c20

Plague Mother (formally Arsonists Prayer) is a hard project to lump into any one category.  His material is definitely harsh noise but the composition at times points to a more industrial background.  The four tracks that make up this c20 are definitely harsh noise but there are sections of tension restraint that set the tracks apart from straight up harsh blasting.  Plague Mother was recently on tour with Hostage Pageant and good god what a combo that was!

Developer, Custodian, Pusdrainer, Death Jenk, Astro, Winters in Osaka and mesh hat

PT:188 Developer c20 + c22
Matt Ries has been producing harsh noise as Developer for a few years now.  The sound and method has been evolving but has been consistently well thought out and executed with precision.  This release is no different containing field recordings and lots of cut ups.



PT:196 Custodian / Pusdrainer 7”
Custodian starts things off with his usual brand of loop heavy, stop on a dime,industrial harsh noise. "Situation In Distress" sees the project packing as much of a punch into five minutes as past longer running releases. The second ever vinyl release following last years split 12" with Mania. Pusdrainer takes side B with "Not Another Second", A blistering feedback drenched power electronics assault that marks the projects' return to the PE style after a string of releases exploring primitive harsh noise and lurching low end synth slime.
Features artwork by Luke Tandy of Being/Skeleton Dust. Mastered by ZZ of Persistence In Mourning.
Co - released with Dead Pope (jlakespowerelectro@hotmail.com)



PT:198 Astro and Winter in Osaka  “Reverberating Forest” CD
The audio is what you would expect from this monster of a collab. Jennings, Finklea, Chami, Lippoldt and Hasegawa created one long slowly moving track of layered noises. The track starts out with ambient synth textures with drone guitars and evolves into a thick harsh assault on the senses with tape loops and broken electronics.
Co-released with Dismantle Records (ajennings85@gmail.com).



PT:169 Death Jenk CD
Death Jenk was formed after the Gnawed, Custodian and Grain Belt tour in 2010 when all 5 dudes had a chance to play together in Milwaukee.  This disc contains two studio tracks and two live tracks recorded in 2010 and 2011.  The material is a mix of the three projects with Custodian cutting channels in and out while adding loops, Gnawed provides vocals along with some low end reverb produced from his metal crate and Grain Belt produces their usual metal abuse with tons of feedback.   

FUCK ART MAKE NOISE mesh trucker hat

In the 90’s I was completely obsessed with the Ministry VHS “In Case You Didn’t Feel Like Showing Up”.  In the video Nivek Ogre (the singer to Skinny Puppy) was wearing a shirt that was made for a pre-Chemlab band called Furnace that read “Fuck Art Lets Kill”.  This is the noise version of that brilliant saying.

each of the releases are 10$ in NA and 12$ worldwide
