I must admit, I haven't kept up with many noise releases for a few years now*. I should have made an exception for this one though, seeing as they're the two greatest harsh noise projects of all time for my money. 

*with the exception of Gerogerigegege, cos it's Gero, and it's still unbelievable to me that Juntaro is actually making music in 2022.
