mellowtooth Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Merzbow - "Pulse Demon" is out 05.11.18 on 2xLP colored vinyl for the first time ever via Bludhoney Records. This legendary 1996 psychedelic harsh noise masterpiece has remained among the most extreme and polarizing albums ever recorded, every bit as intense and cathartic today as it was two decades ago. "Pulse Demon" is the holy grail of the Japanese noise god's discography - brimming with unrestrained energy and vibrance, this influential masterwork decimates listeners with pulverizing bursts of pure sound. We're honored to present the official reissue of "Pulse Demon", pressed on 2xLP colored vinyl and housed in a holographic gatefold jacket featuring fully restored original artwork. Limited bundles include an exclusive "Pulse Demon" cassette with full-bleed pad printing and a holographic J-card. Don't miss out - "Pulse Demon" releases 05.11.18 at 12:00 PM EST: http://bludhoney.com/ High Rant District, mootloot and erikness 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHughes527 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) **Change my mind** I'm not so sure this one would get any spins from me... I get what it's going for, but just can't see putting this on to casually listen to... Edited May 2, 2018 by EHughes527 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyFrosted Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Man, these are gonna be beautiful. I'm such a sucker for obi strips. A Pulse Demon cassette is just about the coolest thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 This album has been my tried and true go-to for sparking sensual evenings with the lady. No way she’d let me miss out on picking up a copy. Which variant do you guys think will be the least noisy? EHughes527, fish, OneThreeOneTwo and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneThreeOneTwo Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) A good visual dictionary these days will have replaced Metal Machine Music with Merzbow's profile under the definition of "acquired taste". Makes Prurient come across as Brian Wilson. That said, some of the more recent Merzbow collabs have been pretty neat & unexpected.

magickspells Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It's one of those things where you know damn well you don't really need this, but the idea of actually having something this abrasive on your shelf... tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Incorrect. I will probably spin this fairly regularly. My girlfriend and I have some musical overlap, but we can agree most on noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
