In this long EXT. with Yosuke, we go much deeper into behind-the-scenes shop talk about running an underground label.

Today we make a sidestep from the noise world to talk with Yosuke Konishi of the mighty metal label Nuclear War Now! and Helios Press, a new vinyl pressing plant opening later this year in Brady, Texas. Despite the genre differences, we had tons to talk about regarding correlations in underground music scenes, the history of his label, and of course the collaborative festival with Hospital Productions happening in Osaka next month.

NWN! has just launched a fundraising campaign for Helios Press, so go to https://www.nwnprod.com/ to check out the very special offers available for supporting this important independent endeavor.

PAIN APPENDIX alchemizes classic sources, such as scrap metal and abrasive field recordings, into powerful and unique compositions of harsh industrial noise. An artist whose work closely shadows the arc of his personal life, his work stays close to the dangerous side of industrial music, exploring excess and degeneracy as well as spiritual evolution. Through his deep discography of splits as well as several distinguished solo albums, Pete Jennings has earned international respect for his dedication and mastery of his craft.

In the Patreon exclusive EXT. segment of this interview, Peter and I continue on the conversation about the importance of artistic freedom. You can also download the track “Steelsonik Ripwork” from his new CD, Manuhypnoz. https://www.patreon.com/whitecentipedenoise

BURNING has been Minneapolis’s best kept secret for over a decade. A brutally honest and musically progressive industrial band fronted by Sadie Ryan, transforming personal despair and fury into an aesthetically singular assault on the sensibilities. With virtually zero internet presence and few recordings in circulation, live performances in the city have been the only way to truly experience their unique power. This interview is particularly important to me, as I was also a founding member of the band, and consider Sadie my best friend. Welcome to BURNING - you will know them.

In the Patreon bonus EXT. segment of this episode, we hung out with the camera in Sadie and Adam’s apartment, where Sadie showed me the leather garments and BDSM gear she’s been making, they both shared their top 5 records of all time, and more.

During my visit to my hometown of Minneapolis, I was fortunate enough to catch a Tourniquet Noise show - the monthly noise series put on by Grant Richardson at the Red Sea Ethiopian Restaurant and Bar. I ran into N. Desuah of BODY CARVE there for a brief chat about his new album "Studies In Advanced Decomposition," just released on Chondritic Sound. I also sat down with Grant afterwards to talk about the series - its history, goals, challenges, and future. Of course caught live sets from SALAMANDER KEY, FORMS IN NATURE, VIATOR, and THE BLIGHT as well, who were performing that night. Respect to real people doing real things!

Rest in Peace Jamie Van Blake

Jim Haynes flawlessly conjures the sounds of magnets, motors, and raw electricity in his heavy industrial noise compositions that are simultaneously austere and evocative. Rust, both as a methodology and a philosophy, explicitly permeate his sound and visual works. In this interview, Jim discusses his recent work, shares stories of his involvement in the San Fransisco sound art world, details on how he does what he does, and touches on the ultimately very human essence of his work. Explore his works as well as his eclectic label The Helen Scarsdale Agency at https://helenscarsdale.bandcamp.com/

In the Patreon exclusive EXT. segment of this interview, Jim tells about his complicated personal relationship to the late artist Zbigniew Karkowski, and lists his top 5 noise and experimental releases of all time, as well as his 5 favorite contemporary non-noise musical artists.

CUSTODIAN IS BACK. Jon Engman is well known for his long involvement in extreme music - as a drummer for death metal bands such as Brodequin and Foetopsy, and for his cold crushing harsh noise project CUSTODIAN, which has sadly been on hiatus for the past several years. Now with new releases on the horizon and a tour in Japan next spring culminating in the Machine Parts 2 Festival in Tokyo, Jon and I caught up about what he's been up to since we last talked on the podcast, and what this current incarnation of CUSTODIAN is all about.
