sssm-180　Palasik Mode – Mongso Setra A new project by DN. AIDEATH from Yogyakarta, Indonesia.Building on the heavy, violent foundation of death industrial and power electronics that DN. AIDEATH has established, this release dives even deeper into dark, occult, and eerie territory. Centered on the Minangkabau folklore figure of the Palasik — a practitioner of black magic who detaches their head at night to seek the blood and flesh of fetuses and infants — the Javanese-titled tracks unfold like the stages of a nocturnal ritual. Side A 1. Mangan Bathang, Matjaya Ing Irsya (Devouring the Corpse, Triumphant in Envy) 2. Mongso Setra (Season of the Graveyard / Devouring the Cemetery) 3. Mudar jangga (Changing the Neck / Shapeshifting) Side B 4. Ngalap Getih (Sipping Blood) 5. Rarah Mengku Atma (The Maiden Holding the Soul) 6. Murak Rogo (Splitting the Body) Distorted low-end pulses, humid feedback, distant incantation-like voices, and metallic friction intertwine to recreate a ritual unfolding in the thick, tropical night. Alongside the familiar aggression, a more introspective and sticky dark-ambient space emerges. This is not mere noise violence — it drags the listener into the humid, oppressive atmosphere of a black magic ceremony. credits released October 23, 2026 Performed and mixed by Palasik Mode Artwork and Layout Layout by Andyo Andyo Kristián mastered by HH sssm-180

sssm-179 ASCH - When Concrete Turns To Smoke From the depths of the Dutch underground noise scene comes a sound that is cold, sharp, and slowly dissolving.Asch is an experimental noise duo formed by longtime allies Svartvit and Geseling. Blending richly textured sound layers with electroacoustic improvisation, they create intense soundscapes defined by crushing distortion, relentless feedback, and a deeply immersive sonic presence. Their performances go beyond mere noise assaults — they trace the process of matter breaking down, of the solid turning into smoke. With a significant impact on the Dutch underground, their latest work has now arrived. Side A Recorded in 2024 at Resistor (Leiden) and the Instituut voor Beeld & Geluid (Hilversum). Densely layered constructions gradually distort, crack, and disperse like smoke. Structured yet unpredictable, these tracks pull the listener from inside the concrete... more credits released October 23, 2026 A1 & A2: recorded at Resistor, Leiden & Instituut voor Beeld & Geluid, Hilversum 2024 B1: live at De Besturing.

sssm-176 Cù Sìth + contagious orgasm - For which no answer can be found A deeply intertwined collaboration between Cù Sìth (Toronto-based producer Andrew Nolan) and the long-running Japanese experimental/noise project contagious orgasm. This is not a simple meeting of two artists, but a work in which their sonic identities interlock, infiltrate, and resonate with one another on a profound level. The sound is a hybrid that freely crosses genre boundaries. Cold, unsettling electronic noise dominates the space: sharp, abrasive high frequencies pierce the nerves, while heavy, crawling low-end oscillations relentlessly grind beneath, never fully dissipating. The result is a claustrophobic, abyssal soundscape in which the very act of searching for answers feels futile and dissolves into emptiness. True to its title, this is music that embodies a world where no answer can be found — only the persistent, merciless presence of sound remains. credits released October 2, 2026 composed and performed by HH/FTS/Andrew Nolan. 2026. sssm-176

sssm-178 GOVERNMENT ALPHA – Impermanence Cassette / 46 minutes Government Alpha, the relentless force now conquering festivals worldwide, transforms the concept of “impermanence” into pure sound.Dense noise walls, built from the violent collision of piercing high frequencies and distorted low-end, begin to collapse from within. Structures dissolve, become residual forms, fragment into transient particles, and finally converge into absence itself. Relentless feedback and corrosive textures mercilessly map the process of vanishing, while strange fragments of continuity emerge from the wreckage.Destruction and dissolution. Instability and disappearance. The inherent hiss and degradation of the cassette medium make this exploration of Impermanence even more raw, physical, and visceral. credits released October 2, 2026 produced by Government Alpha recorded at xerxes studio in summer 2026 sssm-178

sssm-174 Regosphere - What You Owe Us This release, comprising four tracks, embodies Regosphere’s signature sound, unfolding with surging sub-bass, metallic grinding, sustained tension, and ethereal, drifting electronic noise. True to the title "What You Owe Us," the work powerfully conveys emotions of reckoning, retribution, resignation, and rage. "1312 Winter Fires," in particular, evokes anti-establishment imagery, while "Sonar Ghost Drift" is defined by cold, sonar-like electronic tones and a ghostly, drifting atmosphere. Regosphere has long established a solid reputation within the underground industrial and death-industrial scenes, actively collaborating with both domestic and international acts—such as Contagious Orgasm. Their consistent, dark, and unsettling aesthetic ensures a level of quality that fans of the genre can rely on. Regosphere is an American death-industrial / dark ambient noise project based in Seattle, founded and solely operated by Andrew Quitter. The project officially started in 2007 as the successor to Quitter’s earlier harsh noise project Suburbia Melting (active from the mid-1990s). He also runs the DumpsterScore Home Recordings label. Regosphere is defined by its self-described style “Anxiety-Electronics.” The result is mechanical and icy yet deeply psychological. The tracks create a heavy, claustrophobic atmosphere full of tension, anxiety, and emotional weight rather than pure noise chaos. Pro Dubbing Cassette,Ltd 50

DEFEKTRO is a Japanese noise unit formed in Tokyo in 1995, primarily characterized by rhythmic noise and experimental electronic sounds. It started as a sound performance project under Lastgasp Art Laboratories (L.A.L.), with full activities beginning in 1996. Their trademark is harsh, machine-generated junk metal sounds, custom-built noise instruments and "sonic weapon" device. Live performances feature destructive acoustics through sampling and improvised operations. Historically, from 1995, it developed as L.A.L.'s sound division, with the first releases in 1998 (K7 tapes "MECHANIZE" and "NOISE BOMB"). Since then, over 30 works have been released on domestic and international labels. Internationally, they toured the US in 2000, Australia in 2003, Europe (Turkey, France, Germany, etc.) in 2007, Japan in 2009, and revisited Europe (Switzerland, France, Belgium, etc.) in 2017. Their performances emphasize interactive body sensations, and they've provided soundtrack for animation, participated in the theater group Branch Nebula, and appeared at festivals like Sound Unsound and LUFF. DEFEKTRO represents Japan's noise scene and continues to influence internationally. Pro Dubbing Cassette,Ltd 50

sssm-159 the vomit arsonist - Anxiety Spiral this work construct a despair-filled worldview with cinematic visuals. The Vomit Arsonist is a solo industrial music project from Rhode Island, USA, created and run by Andrew Grant. It specializes in dark, bleak, and oppressive sounds centered on Death Industrial and Power Electronics Early work was raw and noise-oriented. Over time it evolved into more cinematic, layered, and immersive Death Industrial featuring heavy drones, distorted vocals, scrap metal percussion, programmed rhythms, and dynamic shifts between intensity and minimalism. The core themes are deeply nihilistic: despair, loneliness, existential dread, self-destruction, and human futility. Grant has stated he aims to create music that leaves listeners feeling bad — evoking desolation and hopelessness. It is intentionally and consistently bleak rather than purely cathartic. He is one of the veterans who has been active in the American underground industrial scene for many years. Starting with an early noise-oriented style, he gradually evolved in his own unique way to pursue “the dark music he loves,” garnering support from Death Industrial fans both in Japan and abroad. While his sound is extremely dark and not for everyone, its immersive quality and consistent philosophy are what make it so compelling. Pro Dubbing Cassette,Ltd 50

Pro Dubbing Cassette,Ltd 50 UNCODIFIED is an Italian power electronics / harsh industrial project from Sardinia, led by veteran artist Corrado Altieri. It stands as one of the leading contemporary voices in Italy’s influential experimental underground scene. Corrado Altieri has been active in experimental music since the early 1990s, starting with post-punk and wave influences before fully committing to extreme electronic sound. UNCODIFIED began as his solo vehicle around 2011, allowing him to focus purely on raw, confrontational noise and power electronics, distinct from his other projects like Monosonik or Candor Chasma. The sound creates a suffocating, dystopian atmosphere that evokes societal collapse, control, alienation, and erased humanity. It carries the legacy of Italian industrial pioneers (M.B., Sigillum S, Atrax Morgue, etc.) while pushing forward with a personal and contemporary edge. Notable releases include the 2024 album Erased People (Dunkelheit Produktionen), which features heavy synth-driven tracks full of tension and release. Other key works have appeared on labels such as Unrest, Old Europa Cafe, and Nil By Mouth. Altieri has also collaborated with artists like Wertham, Gianluca Favaron, Simon Balestrazzi, and Maurizio Bianchi. SSSM release brings this powerful Italian sonic assault to new audiences — essential listening for fans of harsh, thought-provoking extreme electronics.

Pro Dubbing Cassette,Ltd 50 Kastrata is a dark heavy electronics project from Portugal, who's also running the label Nekro.Ruido.Rekords. It forges cold, heavy, and suffocating electronic soundscapes. Oppressive and tense, its music feels like a dense, underground sonic monolith. Having grown more active in the early 2020s, Kastrata remains a hidden entity operating primarily within the noise and industrial music scenes. The sound is defined by long, deep, lead-heavy drones, severely distorted electronics, cold metallic textures and brutal noise. A crushing, claustrophobic atmosphere that feels like being sealed inside a dark iron chamber. Kastrata draws deeply from classic industrial traditions while fusing them with modern death industrial aesthetics, creating a thoroughly monochrome, raw, and uncompromising sonic world.

Pro Dubbing Cassette,Ltd 50 Fallen Sun delivers intense, explosive, and uncompromising harsh noise that feels rooted in the classic Japanese noise tradition but reinterprets it with modern layering techniques, careful construction, and a sense of controlled chaos. The core is abrasive, jagged, and physically confrontational - metallic scraping, piercing feedback, distorted electronics, and crushing distortion layers that collide violently. Rather than static "wall noise," the sound is dynamic: textures expand, contract, compress, twist, and phase-shift constantly, creating perpetual motion and tension. it as "not atonal noise, but complex musical DNA structures moving in and out of phase" - grinding cyclical patterns that feel like re-phased repetitions of underlying musical logic, evoking Chaos Theory (order hidden in apparent randomness). There's often a meta-rhythmic quality: no conventional beats, but pulsing, grinding loops and interference patterns that hypnotize or overwhelm. The result is hostile yet strangely ecstatic - a "gothic beauty" or "carefully constructed chaos" that pushes noise beyond mere aggression into something structurally ambitious. Fallen Sun isn't just "noise for noise's sake" - it's a deliberate attempt to redefine boundaries, blending Japanese noise heritage with contemporary construction and a uniquely Malaysian experimental voice. If you enjoy visceral, boundary-pushing sound art, this is essential listening. Just prepare your ears!

smr.tni is a queer industrial/power electronics project from Essen, Germany. It is the solo project of a queer experimental multimedia artist active in the harsh noise and power electronics underground scene. Derived from the Serbian word “smrt” (death / mortal), referring to “the mortal” or “transient being.” The project deeply explores themes of transience of existence, depression, suicidal ideation, body dysphoria, persistent (chronic) pain, and bodily transformation. smr.tni blends power electronics with harsh noise elements, creating intense, visceral soundscapes. The work is highly personal and political, treating pain not just as subject matter but as a tool for self-empowerment and bodily reclamation. Performances frequently combine sound with bold, expressionist physical performance - scarred, empowered, and re-shaped bodies without inhibition. The artist describes the approach as “power electronics as immanent self-empowerment,” drawing a line where pain becomes an end in itself without falling into empty pathos. Everything is direct, raw, loud, and purposeful. smr.tni is not just another noise project - it is a deeply personal, queer/trans-informed artistic practice that uses power electronics and harsh noise to process and transform experiences of pain, body, and existence. In the German and broader European industrial/noise scene, it has quickly become recognized as a fresh and distinctive voice of the new generation.

LIKE WEEDS is an industrial noise project based in Tokyo,Japan, created by British-born artist Kenny Sanderson, who has lived in Japan for over 20 years. The project began in 2018 as a shift from his long-running harsh noise/cut-up project FACIALMESS (active since 1996), allowing him to explore cleaner, more rhythmic, and structured sounds. LIKE WEEDS is known for death industrial, power noise, rhythmic noise, and elements of dub and power electronics. Kenny describes the sound as "Concrete Trogotronic riddims" — minimal, repetitive, analog-driven electronics with heavy use of Trogotronic instruments, Vermona Lancet kick drums, Korg sequencers, and other hardware. Compared to the chaotic, cut-up harsh noise of FACIALMESS, LIKE WEEDS is more controlled, dub-influenced, and often mid-tempo/sludge-oriented, frequently exploring themes like addiction, urban isolation, social injustice, state-sanctioned decay, and personal/political struggle.

Tzii is a Belgian musician, composer, filmmaker, and sound artist based in Brussels. Active since the mid-1990s, he creates experimental, genre-defying work that crosses electronic music, noise, industrial, post-punk, ambient, sound art, cinema, and live performance. Tzii’s approach is deliberately undogmatic and deconstructed. He treats “displacement” as a permanent state rather than a temporary condition. His works often evoke “dirty paradises” — raw, tropical, apocalyptic sonic landscapes that challenge perception and rationality. He aims to create immersive, liminal experiences that blend harsh electronics, cinematic textures, ritualistic elements, and physical intensity. Some describes his artistic identity as “a mountain of multiple figures” reflecting his shape-shifting, multifaceted practice that refuses easy categorization. Tzii represents the vibrant, boundary-pushing experimental underground scene of Brussels while maintaining a truly global and nomadic perspective. His art combines Belgian/European dark electronic traditions with non-Western influences, always seeking deep sensory and perceptual displacement. Live performances are especially powerful and recommended for those who enjoy intense, unpredictable sonic experiences.

This new album, presented by SSSM, finds Sissy Spacek working in a distinctly musique concrète mode. It’s a dynamic, untamed collage assembled from electronics, acoustic instrumentation, and voice—cut, spliced, and reconstituted into something that feels at once immediate and disorienting. The record moves with restless energy, embracing abrupt shifts, dense layering, and moments of uncanny clarity that surface and dissolve without warning. A notable aspect of this release is its vocal presence, which threads through the compositions with slurred ambience—a clear nod to Wiese and Aaron Hemphill’s project Strain of Laws, with the voice functioning less as a narrative anchor and more as a volatile material within the larger sonic architecture. The lineup brings together a formidable group of longtime collaborators and core contributors. Alongside Sissy Spacek mainstays John Wiese and Charlie Mumma, the album features Mitchell Brown (Gasp, LAFMS), Aaron Hemphill (Nonpareils, Liars), and Jay Randall (Agoraphobic Nosebleed). Each brings a sensibility, resulting in a record that feels both cohesive and constantly in flux, shaped by the friction and overlap between these varied pallets.
