I haven't seen this linked yet and it's a great resource for AM interviews:

I found it when searching for his TDR interview from '96 which was where I first learned of him. For such a misanthrope, he sure gave generous and informative interviews.

Can anyone speak to the DVD content for the Morder Machine Box Set? Is the video below part of the footage?

Judging from the listings on discogs the live shows are from these dates, so the show that you posted doesn't appear to be on it.

DVD1   January 4th 2003   28:28
DVD2   May 29th 1998           24:41
DVD3   March 20th 1998   29:51
DVD4   December 9th 1995   31:22

I just checked in my copy of the box set and there isn't any information listed there about the DVD or locations of the events. There may be more info on the actual DVD, but I haven't watched it as I don't have a dvd player

anyone know what release has this atrax morgue song on it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NpRzMZRNos

video has been taken down, so now really need to figure out which release it is on! The video was titled "Atrax Morgue - I Don't See You" Not sure if that was actually the true name of the song, but I still have never found it on any releases.. Anyone?

Big fan of Mr. Marco Corbelli.
My observation of him is that he was extremely interested in the perverse stuff, but he had a masochistic element to him which necessitated his suicide.

My personal favorite from Italy is Sigilum S. The Italian sound is the most depraved, sick, and cultish.
It is not necessarily the loudest, but in terms of "fucked-upness," I cannot personally think of a regional scene which outdoes the Italians.

The Italians, one could say, were the progenitors of the whole Noise Scene.
There were some parallel movements in Russia at around the same time.

I think the Italians so strongly have this demented element, because they tend to be super gregarious and social. Of course, this leads to an internal conflict, because of the social restrictions, and their sinister quality bleeds out.

Movies like Salo, and other demented Italian novelties further illustrates this point.
The interesting thing about Marco Corbelli, was that he always was left dejected and dispirited after meeting people who initially appeared to share his dark ideals. He never quite felt he met anyone who wasn't a 'poser.'

This is another element of the Italian character I notice. Since Italians are social chameleons and often switch styles dramatically, this breeds an inner hunger for being truly original and individualistic.
This is probably to explain why Italians have always historically been known as an artistic people.

Marco Corbelli likely felt completely alienated and isolated because of this, that it ultimately led to his suicide.

Reading his interviews are pretty insightful. One gets a glimpse of his inner character and personal complexities which ultimately appeared to be too difficult to reconcile.

In Italy, there are very many isolated rural areas, which feel very alienating.
Even watch very old, obscure Italian films like Bawdy Tales.
The cinematography and style alone is enough to make one want to kill themselves.

Another element in Italian experimental scenes I tend to notice, is a fixation with a very undefined, cultish, dungeon / chamberesque sense of worship. Not quite Satanic.
Rather undefined, but having very much a quality of, like, A holy worship / "shrine" to the perverse.

One can especially see this in Sigilum S' motifs.
It is probably a remnant in the style of the Ancient Roman cults.

No, Marco did his own sound.

Ah, my mistake. I was misinformed. Would still love to hear the set.

Hi all, does anyone know where the writing on this shirt comes from?

For anybody interested my old Heathen Harvest editorial about Corbelli can also be found here, hopefully for a good while:

It features nice words from Devis/Teatro Satanico, Daniele/N. and Adriano/Macelleria Mobile Di Mezzanotte
