<description><![CDATA[Those who only know Patton as "that guy from Faith No More" (or even via his work in the more experimental bands Mr. Bungle and Fantomas) are in for a surprise upon hearing his solo albums. <I>Adult Themes for Voice</I> (1996) was recorded entirely a cappella using only a four-track and a microphone (no effects), but you'd never guess it given the range of hisses, gurgles, explosions, and Industrial-grade noise blasts on hand. <I>Pranzo Oltranzista</I> (1997) was inspired by the Italian <I>Futurist Cookbook</I>, and alternates sections of eerie suspense with jarring noise outbursts; it supports the Futurist credo that "art, in fact, can be nothing but violence, cruelty, and injustice." Relatively more conventional are his contributions to the Tzadik label's <I>Great Jewish Music</I> tribute series, highlighted by his spastic, over-the-top version of T-Rex's "Chariot Choogle." He actually sings on that one, too.

<description><![CDATA[They invented EBM (Electronic Body Music), and then, bored by their invention, left it behind to produce embarrassingly vapid Disco. Their early albums revolutionized the sound of dance music by introducing authoritarian vocals that spit out every line like a direct order amidst a crossfire of explosive beats and flying shards of Industrial noise. Upon reemerging in the late '80s, D.A.F.'s martinet demeanor had given way to an effeminate prissiness. By that time, however, they had already assumed a central place in the history of dance music as the primary inspiration for Nitzer Ebb, Front 242 and Front Line Assembly.

<description><![CDATA[Almost as prolific as Om Kalsoum and more dissonant than an avalanche of windowpanes, Masami Akita's Merzbow has become the most well-known name in Japanese Noise. Moving beyond Lou Reed's groundbreaking <I>Metal Machine Music</I> and Whitehouse's Euro-aggression, he creates lightening storms of sound with incredible complexity. He looks to sources like Free Jazz for inspiration for his patently "free" sounds. Couching his music in the extreme eros of S&M and B&D imagery, he directs listening to a visceral level, where being a docile receptacle for sound is no longer possible. Merzbow must be listened to actively. Perhaps defensively.

<description><![CDATA[Since noise insurgent Paul Lemos founded Controlled Bleeding in the late '70s, he's embarked on a staggering variety of musical explorations, crafting operatic Goth and nearly unlistenable, cassette-crafted noise, as well as jazz and Dub-oriented electronic. To say he's been prolific is a bit of an understatement -- he's released more than twenty albums on almost as many labels -- two of which come courtesy of Gabor's celebrated Wax Trax!, home to such other notables as Laibach, Revolting Cocks, and Coil. High school English teacher Lemos continues to raid the cabinets, though he appears to be experimenting with peanut butter and jelly rather than the blender these days. Strings and live instruments may, in fact, find their way into C.B.'s new material scheduled for release on Tone Casualties. It makes sense, since he's hinted that his sometimes-purely digital rhythmic manipulation was often easier to record than live drum kits.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Since 1981, guitarist Lee Ranaldo has spent his off time from seminal art rock band Sonic Youth creating organic, ambient backdrops for his spoken stream-of-consciousness poetry. Largely improvised, the music is most often built around analog delays, allowing Ranaldo to seamlessly build layer upon layer of guitar drone and feedback. Ominous without being threatening, the pieces surround the listener with the audio equivalent of America's endless highways and wide-open spaces. Abstract post-beat texts connect seemingly disparate images with fluidity, enhancing the atmosphere of future possibilities established by the swirling guitar work. Bold solo work from one of rock's luminaries.

<description><![CDATA[Indian Jewelry are classic Lone Star State freaks. Following in the tradition of fellow Texans Rusted Shut, the Butthole Surfers and the Red Krayola, the Houston-bred trio melts garage punk, electronic weirdness, noise rock and psychedelia into a fuzzy goop pulsating with sinister intent. Their live shows -- maniacally flickering strobes coupled with gut-rupturing beats and piercing wails -- are particularly intense. At the same time Indian Jewelry possesses a love for post-industrial dance grooves and media-savvy performance art (more Psychic TV than Throbbing Gristle) more common to underground rock bands from the coasts. Fronted by the gorgeous Erika Thrasher, the group resembles those indie rock models in American Apparel advertisements. Maybe that's why they eventually relocated to Los Angeles, where the urban tendencies in the group's sound have only been further accentuated. On <I>Free Gold!</I>, released in 2008 on the We Are Free label, Indian Jewelry tempered its usual sonic assault with shades of shoegaze, electro-folk and exotic pop. You could call the album "fashion noise." Of course, it will still sound like plain old noise to 95% of the world's population.

<description><![CDATA[Project Dark don't use instruments; nor, for that matter, do they write songs. By exploring the sonic possibilities of found objects, Project Dark emulate the experimental tact taken by Industrial acts such as Throbbing Gristle and the Haters. But whereas these acts incorporated non-musical noises into sound units having enough structure to still be identifiable as songs, Project Dark's compositions are more often than not just so much banging.

<description><![CDATA[Whether Rozz Williams left Christian Death to pursue new artistic directions or simply to be left alone with his addictions is open for debate. Indefeasibly, these solo pursuits suffered badly from Williams' artistically ruinous drug habits. <I>Neue Sachlichkeit</I>, for instance, sounds like the leftover tailings of his Premature Ejaculation work, and <I>The Whorse's Mouth</I> is a thinly veiled Spoken Word album that adds up to little more than a series of loud, drowning sounds made during Williams' deliquescent slide into self-pity and pusillanimity. Miraculously, he managed to make up for these silly specimens of vampire poop with <I>Dream Home Heartache</I> (1995), an album of vocal duets with Goth chanteuse Gitane DeMone (also ex-Christian Death). The torchy songs on this LP put forth the last light cast by Williams' once formidable writing and singing talents, and that light is wholly radiant. Together, DeMone and Williams recorded an opus of Gothic cabaret songs that resonates with an austere beauty comparable to Scott Walker. Only such a pearl could permit us to overlook the slime around it.

<description><![CDATA[Power-crazy Industrial with churning metal guitars, echoing vocals, and a maniacal attention to detail. Millions of strange noises and skewed guitar sounds pop and zing between your ears. This hateful breakup rock positively breathes fire.

<description><![CDATA[Dystopian Industrial doomscapes. Lab Report manipulate harsh electronic noise and sampled sounds to produce what seem like field recordings from a gruesome war of attrition fought with chainsaws, jackhammers, and blowtorches. The sound units issued by Lab Report offer glimpses of a radically dehumanized possible future.

<description><![CDATA[The aural violence of Brighter Death Now is not to be underestimated. Like a spider that weaves delicate threads to form a death trap, Roger Karmanik arranges the often-subtle sounds of grim pads, sparing, paranoid percussion and phantom murmurs with anxious noise tension to form unequalled sonic horrors. A-temporal tracks drift without anchor. Haunting sounds creep into the audible field and form clouds of noxious black smoke. But Brighter Death Now is hardly subtle; dark vibrations slowly accumulate into hellish electronic shrieks and sub-bass tones that will reverse your digestive processes. This is the soundtrack to a nightmare that squats on your chest and won't let you breathe, gasp or shriek as it drags you deeper into your own private hell.
