BLOOMER / MANIA

Ready to Do Damage

(Gaping Hole - GH3) LP $16.50

Ready To Do Damage seethes with malevolence: sustained piercing feedback; crashing and ripping metal; distortion flaking off every corner; dank; violent. The A side contains a live collaboration (a first for Mania) between these two artists, while side B holds a solo track from each. Mania has terrorized the world of noise and power electronics since 2002 with releases on Bitewerks, Freak Animal, Harsh Head Rituals, Abisko, Vemod, and others. Ryan Bloomer is currently a member of industrial scuzz unit Piss Horn, lives in Canada surrounded by amplifiers, and heads up the Traumatone organization, makers of noise devices most vile. Black vinyl, 11”x17” color poster, edition of 300.

DOG HOLOCAUST

Vol. 1-3

(Gaping Hole - GH01) CD $10.50

This scathing and unrelenting, perverted mix of static, distortion and feedback harkens back to the mid-'90s heyday of loud, sleazy noise. Dog Holocaust is the collaborative effort of Nolan Throop (Kakerlak) and Dan Johansson (Sewer Election) and this CD is a reissue of their first three now-out-of-print cassettes. An absolute must for fans of Macronympha, Incapacitants, Merzbow.
