PIECES 12"

Spontaneously born in a smoked out basement during the week surrounding the first PURE HARSH NOISE WORSHIP Festival in Portland in 2012, PIECES is the live-to-tape collaboration between KAKERLAK, REDNECK and OSCILLATING INNARDS. I was lucky enough to be present for that first jaw-dropping session, and subsequently released the recording as a cassette on WCN - a tape that flew under the radar of many, but stands as one of the most intense releases on the label.

Nearly 8 years later, I am thrilled to finally be able to present the sequel to that first masterwork. The material on this record comes from a session recorded in 2014 and displays new levels in audial violence - from cooking, seething, jags accented with abnormal chirping and whistling feedback, to full-spectrum static rage characteristic of the artists' solo works, executed in perfect disharmony with each other.

This is an incredibly potent harsh noise record that takes its time to build a tense and explosive narrative without wasting a second. Maximum suffocating sound pressure fills the air thanks to dynamic mastering by Viktor Ottosson and a loud and crispy cut from R.A.N.D. Muzik in Leipzig, Germany.

Edition of 199

Jeez, that gets good right before it cuts off!

I assume some U.S. distro's will be stocking the regular edition. Definitely want a copy.

Sounds really interesting. Definitely a fan of all three artists. Took a leap and ordered the special edition. Really looking forward to it!

If you for some ungraspable reason did not pick up the first cassette in 2013, don't hesitate to get the special edition. It's definitely worth the extra £€$. The fact that the Pieces cassette isn't more known and sought after defies logic. Can't wait to hear this 12".

WCN

Thanks for all the interest - thrilled that this is finally out and that people are reveling in Pure Harsh Noise Worship!!!

N. American distribution for the standard edition is planned through:
Thousands Of Dead Gods
Skeleton Dust
Self Abuse
Scream and Writhe

The special edition is almost sold out so don't hesitate if you don't already have the first tape!

Got the special edition in the mail last night - I'm not great at "expressing my feeling" on things but both sets fuckin' slap. You would be a real silly billy to miss out on either edition. Huge sounding release.

The records should be arriving at Scream & Writhe, Self Abuse, Skeleton Dust, Dead Gods and Wonderland Media very soon if not already. More distribution to be sorted out in the new year.
