Venereology, 1994

Some of his better known harsh work. "I Lead You Towards Glorious Times" is a live excerpt from 1994 (which features his old live lineup Azuma and Kimoto and Sakaibara (Bara)).

The most extreme recording you will ever own! Unbelievably harsh electronic sickness from the undisputed king of Japanese noise!

Pulse Demon, 1996

To kick off the blog, one of the better known 'harsh' albums of Merzbow (with an awesome cover artwork ;)):

1		Woodpecker No. 1 (6:42)
2		Woodpecker No. 2 (3:37)
3		Spiral Blast (4:30)
4		My Station Rock (4:54)
5		Ultra Marine Blues (11:29)
6		Tokyo Times Ten (11:09)
7		Worms Plastic Earthbound (24:53)
8		Yellow Hyper Balls (6:03)

Internationally recognized as the premier Japanese noise artist, Merzbow is the god of noise. Release Entertainment proudly presents Pulse Demon, a more psychedelically-flavored follow up to some of Merzbow's more brain-pummeling releases. Extremely sight-confounding artwork compliments the lucid squalls of Merzbow's electronic assaults. Mastered at apocalyptic audio levels, this is one of the loudest Merzbow recordings ever released. Heed the warnings!
