Insane Dog Run – MO*TE

OOO-24 | C-45

90年代に精力的に活動しその後沈黙、近年になって突如活動を再開した国産ノイズユニット”MO*TE”の復活後初の完全新作&フルアルバム。

当初海外の某レーベルからのリリース予定だったものの当該レーベルが倒産、宙に浮いていたマスターを[…]dotsmarkがキャッチ！
過去作は全て廃盤&プレミア化、世界中のノイズマニアックスが血眼で情報を探し、伝説化していたMO*TEの現在最新形。
豪雨のように降り注ぐアブストラクトなハーシュに漂う電子音が曲名通り瞑想的作用を呼び起こす20分超の大曲”Rainstorm Meditation”、乾いた質感のハーシュノイズが往年のジャパノイズの熱を感じさせるB面の2曲による計3曲約45分、熟練の渋さすら漂わせるハーシュアルバム。限定50本。

MO*TE:
1995年、肉奴隷によるV.A.”殺戮雑音部隊”への参加によりデビュー。
2000年代初頭までに”STASH”CDR(Solipsism)、”Life in a peaceful new world”c-60(Hevi Like A Snake)等、カセット及びCDRを国内外のリアルなノイズレーベルから限定でリリースした。
自身の運営するレーベル”UNCUT”に於いては、100均SHOPやホームセンターにあるグッズをジャケットに採用する等ユニークなアートワークを制作。自身のソロ作品の他にGOVERNMENT ALPHAとのコラボ、CRACK STEELやSTIMBOXとのスプリットをリリース。
2000年代初頭に活動停止し沈黙。上記時代の音源は全て廃盤／プレミア化し、現在ではネット上での試聴ですら困難となっている。
2009年、NOISE NINJA RECORDS主催イベント”NOISE NINJA RESISTANCE vol.7″への出演を皮切りに本格的に活動を再開、東京アンダーグラウンドでライヴを重ねている。

ACME APATHY AMOK – ENDON

OOO-22/GGRR-001 | CD

ENDONは2007 年に結成された、エクストリームミュージックの決定的な更新を目論む音響集団である。通常のバンド編成にエレクトロニクス奏者2人を擁した彼らの生成する音は、Noise,Hard Core,Black Metal, Industrial,Grind Core といった無数のハードスタイルの混成であり、徹底的にフィジカルなPure Hard Core の体現である。 身体と音響の運動量過多、自傷・流血の頻発する破滅的なステージングは地下ライブシーンで話題を呼んでおり、 最も注目すべきアクトの1つだ。メンバーAXONOX はエフェクターブランドMASFを主宰しており、ENDONでの使用機材にとどまらず過剰な性質を持つ製品を発売、ユーザーに「BORIS」など多数のアーティストが名を連ねる。また、単独主宰ライブイベントとして「TOKYODIONYSOS」、毎年末には50組に及ぶ多種多様 なアーティストの結集するカオスなイベント「地獄のコミュニケーション」を共催でプロデュース、アンダーグラウンドなアーティストたちによる闘技場的空間のアレンジを試みる。

ENDON is an experimental acoustic collective from Tokyo, first gathered in 2007 in order to bring a decisive rally on contemporary extreme music. In addition to a conventional band formation of vocal, guitars, and drums, there are two additional electronics performers, allowing them to create harsh, distinctive sounds in various chaotic mix of styles ranging from noise, hard core, black metal, industrial, to grind core, through an absolutely physical embodiment of pure hard core mentality. Their staging can be characterized as a plethora of physical and acoustic momentum, with destructive performances involving self-mutilation and bleeding, receiving high critical acclaims in the underground live scenes and are touted as one of the most exciting acts.

To me this material sounds like Endon has taken some of the traditional Japanese noise like Hijokaidan, and updated it to 21st century.
-Mikko Aspa (Grunt / FREAK ANIMAL / Deathspell Omega / NORTHERN HERITAGE)

This commemorative first full length album “Acme Apathy Amok” is the representation of the band’s ever growing nefarious deeds, and it serves as the evidence to their success in creating a new epitome of hybridized extreme harsh music through the abolition of the obsolete system of musical categorization. Fuck the conservatives and fuck the unorthodox. Don’t take your eyes off of these guys!

Traditional Kaiju Violence – Origami Swan

OOO-17 | CD

The first album by Origami Swan, a three-piece band formed in 2004 in Vancouver, Canada, consists of guitars, keyboards, drums, and triple vocals.

The band’s soundscape is a roaring, seven-colored sound with something in common with Discordance Axis, Pain Killer, Merzbow, John Zone, Venetian Snares, and many others. Death/Black Metal, Grindcore, Breakcore, Emo, Noise, Industrial, Psychedelic, and many more. The strange, modulated, power-electronic vocals, freaky, evil riffs, shifting keyboards and noise, powerful, high-tension drums, unintelligible song structures, and various sound effects are all mixed into the music. What they have achieved with this album is “chaos without reason,” as if a new species of amoeba were indiscriminately extending its tentacles, indiscriminately taking in all things, and growing into something new. The same kind of madness exists in the contemporary Japanese subculture. Thus Origami Swan resonates with the Japanese culture from the band’s name and song titles to the artwork, which is inspired by and pays homage to many ideas.
Included: Origami Swan special origami paper (swan), interview leaflet with Origami Swan

The band’s hardcore agitation and Japanese lyrics are colored with irony and metaphor, and the electronic noise is concise yet nervous, without excessive ornamentation. It is Japan’s original power electronics and industrial. They call their style “hardcore electronics.

GOVERNMENT ALPHA
EXTREME HARSH NOISE project by Kyosuke Yoshida as a solo artist.

In 1995, he made his debut with the compilation CD “Extreme Music From Japan” released on the “Susan Lawly” label of WHITEHOUSE, a leading UK power electronics label.
Since then, he has been actively releasing new works and performing live, and has toured overseas seven times (as of 2009).
While performing and collaborating with artists from a wide range of genres, they have continued to explore the various possibilities of electronics while keeping the theme of the ultimate sound.
Their unique style of constructing noise sounds with a rock-like musical sensibility and their dynamic live performances full of high tension and physical action are highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad.
Xerxes, the label on which Government Alpha is released, has released not only its sound sources but also those of noise artists from around the world, now numbering more than 80 titles.
