Harsh-noise music from ฝรั่ง (Farang), inspired by the world of Muay Thai fighting. Released by the Australian noise purveyors Minimal Impact, "ศึกเลือด" offers a unique glimpse into this esoteric universe of full-contact fighting discipline. With blood and sweat being part and parcel of this martial art, noise music feels like a perfect companion to bring to life the harshness of this sport.
Super limited tapes are available here. Peep the album below.
This 7" single from Australian label Minimal Impact came to my attention thanks to its eye-catching cover art. Side A features a live recording of Aussie musician Ebola Disco performing his hellish noise during a gig in Japan. Side B, on the other hand, really caught my attention - "Agony We Consume" from Japanese project Skin Job expertly blends death industrial and power electronics into a gravelly cocktail of sound. Fucking radical.
