I think Legion Blotan/Stoic Strength should at least have the CD.

Somehow doubt it's racial slurs hidden in Finnish but rather exactly as you mention, swastika and genocide in pics/titles being enough to trigger uptight Discogs flaggers... the submitter's username being Klansman88 at the time may've also contributed, heh. Not sure why Palava Kuljettaja's banned but there's multiple cases like this on their database, where you have to wrack your brain on how this could possibly offend anyone.

We need a database/marketplace for music that WANTS to offend! At least with Ebay listings the reporting is quite arbitrary. If you report a bootleg item Ebay couldn't give a shit about it but call it a NAZI.... The auction is offline faster than you can say sieg heil. I guess with discogs the "world healing" is also about the connections and impressions of the release. Hell, I have often a hard time figuring out if some new projects that emerge are really NS or not (looking of course for the NS stuff)! H.Ö.H. indeed is good stuff and on the verge if it's nazi or not, I never figured it out. The compilation CD is excellent but personally found that tape after being a bit boring and gave it to a friend.

I bet all the intensely interesting artists getting banned from Discogs secretly love it.

I feel like that'd just turn into a database of terrible pornogrind and half-baked noise releases, all with shitty digital swastika and lolicon covers... which actually kind sounds good. makes me think of the Gurochan board....

Most likely. Noone gets to jew off with their releases. In case they are popular, that is.

I was thinking more because it gives them an opportunity to say 'look how all these liberals can't handle it!!!' and feel that the basis of their work is genuinely political rather than what it is first and foremost: an expression of fandom.

Shouldn't really matter... This is how the vegan soyboy noise scene operates... Quality material that doesn't fit their political views is automatically deemed shit.

It would be plain impossible to say from anonymous project whether their "swastikas" are for real or not. Abuse of old symbols hardly makes relevant political content. Most, who would have actual content, may want to stay away from hollywoodish' approach on nazism. The moment one sees piles and corpses and swastikas, you can be pretty sure that it is unlikely to really be "ns". Even if the artists would claim so, it may be easy to ask couple questions to find out they have no idea than general compilation of outrageous triggers of society piled together.

H.Ö.H. CD, indeed, sold out. Two tapes that has come after this, are even better. Latest going to little more "arty" direction, but perhaps even better.

Freak Animal will continues putting out some lesser known Finnish names on CD. CONTORTUS "Violence in Heat" CD/tape is really good and still available. Same for YANA, which is far more experimental material. Duo, what is not spin-off from other noise projects but really new one. Now in press is KSNK CD, which includes material of two self published tapes, which have not really been circulating all that much. Physical, raw and odd material which escapes all the simples "subgenres" and categories. Lazy minds may hear metal junk and few screams, yet KSNK has totally different take of making stuff than rest of Finns.  I had opportunity to hear advance demo of ROTAT new  material, and only thing what I could tell, is that it's not "advance demo", but to me, this is completed album as-is. Juicier, greasier, more noisy, more painfully ripping. CLOAMA new album is hard to judge should it be called new. It's unreleased, but done over the years. Not noisy, but experimental ambient/industrial. Not far from Mountains of Paranoia, Municipality of Marionettes and such releases. Continues that era of Cloama very well. All those in pressing with some other stuff.

SADISTIC APPROACH "Perverse Pleasures of bitch twins" tape
If band members would conclude that among their favorite bands are Bizarre Uproar and Black Leather Jesus, I would say I knew that. What we have here is oversized Deadline Noise Productions kind of packaging, yet with classy songs titles like black whore humiliated or bound for toilet slavery. As opposed to my expectations, that project would rely on merely being based on provocative titles and graphics, it is actually based on GOOD NOISE. Quality, that is certainly welcomed! So, think of bizarre uproar about 10 years ago, when it was repetition, but also plenty of noisiness and aggression... and add BLJ/Ramirez type of no bullshit harsh noise feel to it. No vocals, no samples, just brutal and fierce noise textures that are enough harsh, but also have lots of things going on. Unfortunately ltd 25 copies edition is not likely to reach as wide audience as this release would deserve!

NUORI VERI "Vakaumus" tape
Born from ashes of Young One. Starts with eerie and lo-fi piano loops. Improvised, dusty and distant, hissing sound quality. Eventually progresses into metal junk and vocals. While there are abundant numbers of Finnish artists using metal junk, Nuori Voima does have its own touch to it. There is less of urban decay, more of creaking farm doors, rural feel, some sort of noble yearning. It has element of rhythm, noisiness, but also sense of understanding how size and type of metal is crucial for the sound. It is not just about tin can shakers and smashing things, but using large variation of metal objects as instruments. Some dysfunctional reel-to-reel loops, and nature sounds. Very unique release.

The Day Of The Antler - two tapes
Neither of the tapes are here in my hand while writing this. No info to be found at discogs. Finnish project has done material under this name since 2009. Longer under other names. When I first heard it very recently, I was amazed how come I had never heard of it! Both of the tapes come in hand made packages, produced by artist himself. Music is occasionally almost like atmospheric side of The Grey Wolves, like blood & sand type, and other half of material is kraut/kosmische sound not far from early tangerine dream or such. All material is fairly simple, often recorded studio-live, I believe. Kraut electronics are good, but also very "traditional" one could say. Sequencers, brooding synth tones and such. While more industrial-esque material has less of standard approach that anyone with electronic instruments can achieve. More hands-on feel, with sounds that can't be achieved with just buying specific synth. So, while both of these style work very well, I tend to lean in favor or material that is done without advantages of specific electronic device, based much more on idea.  Ridiculously small editions of tapes are pretty much unavailable. This is such a quality stuff, I'd hope there will be material in wider circulation later on!

Kovana tape was actually pretty solid stuff (something closer to the "heavy electronics" sound IIRC) , even though I'm not typically much of a fan of female vocals in more extreme subgenres.

MT

Saw Kovana live and the female vocals were ripping as fuck. Not cringy like some other bigger acts.

GEWALTMONOPOL

Kovana sounds good. I'd like to hear more of them.
