V/A – TRIAD : HARSH NOISE FROM JAPAN/CHINA/INDONESIA – CD

Description

V.A. – TRIAD Harsh Noise from Japan / Indonesia / China In an era where noise increasingly turns digital, TRIAD takes a firm stand—returning to the raw tactility of analog gear and direct physical sound. This compilation gathers 15 newly recorded tracks from noise artists across Japan, Indonesia, and China. Every piece was created specifically for this release. No reissues. No remasters. Just uncompromising present-time noise. Harsh Noise first took root in Japan, where artists like Merzbow and Hijokaidan forged the blueprint of unfiltered sonic extremity. That legacy continues today with pioneering figures such as Incapacitants, Government Alpha, Kazumoto Endo who appears here with some blistering new tracks, and rising contemporaries who keep the flame alive. Meanwhile, Indonesia has emerged as one of the most vibrant and prolific noise scenes on the planet. From Jakarta to Yogyakarta, a new generation of harsh noise artists is pushing the genre into raw, political, and wildly experimental directions—unrestrained, community-driven, and globally resonant. TRIAD is loosely structured around five decades (1980–2020) of Asian underground noise history. From tape loops and circuit feedback to speaker destruction and metal abrasion, each track rejects digital sterility in favor of visceral, confrontational physicality. With legends like Incapacitants, Kazumoto Endo, Government Alpha, and Torturing Nurse alongside newer sonic disruptors, TRIAD is a declaration of resistance in decay—a collective rejection of clean sound and sanitized culture.
