   Black Leather Jesus | Incapacitants - A Purpose Not Necessary

   First part is standard
   Second part might be one of the best Incapacitants track I've ever heard, those demonic screams make for a very immersive and scary experience

    Merzbow - Last Of Analog Sessions

    3 For Sale from $65.00

    CD2 : Dynamics are insane, it never stops
    Felt like being tied up and stabbed by knives from everywhere
    CD3 : Very rhythmic sometimes and other times, it will attack you from nowhere

    Boris (3) With Merzbow - Sun Baked Snow Cave

    

    Boris (3) With Merzbow - Sun Baked Snow Cave

    12 For Sale from $5.96

    The title of the track is so representative of the track itself :
    A guy alone in a cave, with his guitar, slowly getting covered by whirling snow.
    A real musical adventure

    Incapacitants - Eternal Paralysis

    

    Incapacitants - Eternal Paralysis

    Very early Harsh noise right there
    First 30 min are very repetitive, almost psychedelic, you can feel your body unconsciously moving with the sinewaves
    Transition at 33' is huge
    Another rhythm comes in, transition into the second part, a straight up noise wall (in 1981)
    Third part feels like a mix between the first two parts : The screeching and grating sounds of Part 2 + the dynamics of Part 1.

    Incapacitants - Peony Crackers

    Incapacitants - Peony Crackers

    The beginnings of Incapacitants, less static than Eternal Paralysis but not as dynamic as their later releases, very diverse record.
    Those crackling sounds really get on your skin and make you shiver.
    44' : Are those samples I hear ?

    DIR EN GREY - The Marrow Of A Bone

    

    DIR EN GREY - The Marrow Of A Bone

    6 For Sale from $14.99

    The more violent tracks are powerful and angry, Kyo's screams are really getting better at this point, even through the use of distortion.
    But the best tracks are definitely the ballads (Namekashiki, The Pledge, Conceived Sorrow, ...)
    Then the unplugged comes and you are transported into another dimension

    Tool (2) - Undertow

    

    Tool (2) - Undertow

    Merzbow - Surabhi

    

    Merzbow - Surabhi

    4 For Sale from $6.27

    Calmer and colder Merzbow release.
    More complex that it sounds, although it can be quite boring sometimes (e.g. end of Balaram)
    Kinda reminds me of Vibractance
