Pulse Demon

by Merzbow

SirGayBeard A man is being dragged to the bottom of a murky lake, screaming, the bubbles escape from his mouth but no noise follows. He had crashed on this wretched planet filled with danger around every turn but now as he screams and thrashes to escape from the creature that was quickly taking him to the bottom. These last few moments are filled with terror, dread and want of returning, returning back to the life that once inspired him but now is just a reminder of something that will never be again. Favorite track: Tokyo Times Ten.

Micah J. Rodriguez To say this is LOUD would be an understatement! Favorite track: Woodpecker No. 1.

about

⚠️VINYL IS 100% SOLD OUT. STAY TUNED⚠️

Merzbow's legendary 1996 psychedelic harsh noise masterpiece has remained among the most extreme and polarizing albums ever recorded, every bit as intense and cathartic today as it was two decades ago. "Pulse Demon" is the holy grail of the Japanese noise god's discography - brimming with unrestrained energy and vibrance, this influential masterwork decimates listeners with pulverizing bursts of pure sound. A true landmark of artistic extremity,"Pulse Demon" is perfectly suited to the dream-noise of the BLUDHONEY collection; embodying the monolithic presence of a BLUD release through its wildly expressive chaos.

Did we neglect to mention that this album is LOUD?

The sort of music that is beyond time. The sort of music that you feel more than you hear. I love the fact that vaporwave/dreampunk projects like these have such extremely evocative aesthetics they directly fill your mind with sensations you didn't know you had. You'd maybe think it relies on that solely, but it's coupled with gorgeous musicianship + intense production ideas. The volume and spaces it creates just pull you in instantly whatever your initial mood was. Still stunning to this day. SUPRAQUENCER

As haunting and hypnotizing as going through the MGS series in release order and growing more and more captivated by the fandom's fabled Venom Snake without knowing a single thing about him. No, but seriously, this album is a work of art to transport you far, far away, an idea that draws you into the abstract. quietis
