Volcanic Tongue Catalogue

Iovae
Radio Exorcisms

Chondritic Sound CH-135

3" CD-R
£6.99


Tactile oscillator churn and phased/juddering radio hi-jack from Ron Orovitz of Cincinnati who has shared splits with heads like Mammal and Burning Star Core. This is one sick tunnel of churn, with minimal percussive thud and patches of mainlined tongue extended to infinity. Numbered edition of 153.

Devillock
Rotten Creatures

Chondritic Sound CH-148

3” CD-R
£6.99


Another killing side from the Devillock/Panther Skull axis that builds a whole lot of tactile sound forms from variously junked and hi-jacked gadgets in a beautiful, pulse-stilling style. Parts of this have that hovering high end feedback feel that characterised Whitehouse circa Peter Kurten while the rest feels a bit more handmade and personal. Either way, it’s a beauty. Numbered edition of 121 copies and already sold out at source.

Der Bekannte Post-Industrielle Trompeter
Freak Nerve Cell from Outer Space

Chondritic Sound CH-75

3" CD-R
£6.99


A wild curveball for Chondritic Sound and a real fucking beauty to boot – totally displaced trumpet/electronics jams that take huge arcs of splut that sound like they’re straight from the lungs of Bill Dixon or even Miles circa Big Fun with MEV-scale circuit disruption and voids of choral tonefloat. This guy is also a member of Italian psych/folk collective Mushroom’s Patience. Features Cristiano Luciani on electronics. Numbered edition of 120 copies.

Hive Mind & Luasa Ráelon
Night Maintenance

Chondritic Sound CH-97

CD
£10.99


Split CD from two hard-harvesting contemporary noise concerns, Hive Mind and Luasa Ráelon. One long opening track from Hive Mind that pushes out into whole new zones of queasy electronic pulse and subliminal threat, four tracks from Luasa including an inspired ‘cover' of Hive Mind's classic Sand Beasts and a whole bunch of Kosmiche/DIY organ-led tonefloat (aspects of Coil, Organum, Tangerine Dream and Mirror) and a joint blow-out on the title track. A late-night fug that'll suit loners of all stripes. Edition of 1000 with silk-screened artwork. Recommended.

Kapotte Muziek
Praag/Rotterdam

Chondritic Sound CH-127

CD
£5.99


Two long live assassinations from a trio incarnation of Frans de Waard's notorious Industrial schlock troopers. First track (1995) builds dense webs of nada from vague intimations of digital threat and insect-level activity, second track (1998) is high skull-cleaving tone set to flash in a fog of distressed current. A beautiful wipe-out. Limited to 1000 copies.

Vertonen
One Telescoping Spine

Chondritic Sound CH-92

3" CD-R
£6.99


Pounding post-Industrial electronic psych with loops/found-sound dialogue and moments of free celestial spin from this Chicago based thug who released a killer side with Nautical Almanac. Parts of this are as ferociously digital as anything on Whitehouse’s Birdseed album. On Greh of Hive Mind’s own Chondritic Sound label, one of the suavest and most highly collectable of modern noise imprints. Limited to 103 numbered copies in jewel case with painted disc and full colour cover.

Justice Yeldham & The Dynamic Ribbon Device
Live in Beirut

Chondritic Sound CH-139

7"
£5.99


Wild accumulation of random flesh/machine noise, squawking head-fuck tourettes and harsh sonic attack that sounds like a Middle Eastern tour EP by the LAFMS orchestra courtesy of Australian performance artist Justice Yeldham, a guy who regularly chews on amplified plate glass. Edition of 550 copies in colour sleeves w/liners, part of Chondritic Sound's new 7” series: “It's safe to say that nothing like this was ever witnessed in the Lebanese capital before, short of the civil war, which is how many audience members described the sound of the honourable Justice's performances in the still turbulent city. Justice played on a sheet of broken glass he found at the Beirut - Damascus taxi terminal, an infamous place where many Muslims where tortured and killed by the Phalangists. The cover depicts the sticker that was on the sheet of glass played on 020604 which was found in the semi ruined building.”

Sick Llama
Being Viewed

Chondritic Sound CH-156

3" CD-R
£7.99


Rarity: Limited edition of 152 copies with spray-painted discs featuring another supremely disturbing wretch of nothing songs, damp cardboard box fidelity, totally unidentifiable sound sources and drugged psychedelic slumber from Mr Heath Moreland of Fag Tapes et al. Long OOP.

Cadaver In Drag/Hive Mind/Charlie Draheim/Moth Drakula
s/t

Chondritic Sound CH-168

CD-R
£6.99


Limited to 200 copies tour-only album that bundles one track from each unit and one brain-busting all-hands collaboration. Cadaver put in another muscular Sabs/Kousokuya-reverent guitar/drums dirge, Hive Mind's track sounds like distant cement mixers tuned to generate malevolent microtonal insect songs, Draheim's track - "Forever Fucked 2" - has a much more tactile electro-acoustic hands on feel that's kind of reminiscent of the brand of homemade noise satori that dominated the first New Blockaders LP and Moth Drakula put in the most torrentially thick sheets of noise/electricity-swallowing vocal performance of the set. The collaboration works great with Cadaver providing the nod-out rhythmic background and the rest providing swelling shots of heaven. Painted CD-R in digipak with paste-on sleeve.

Damion Romero
You Can Tell By The Blur

Chondritic Sound CH-146

3
£6.99


Third instalment in Romero's (P-Tapes/Speculum Fight et al) on-going series of linked live recordings, this one presents a beautiful slow-blooming set of drone dissolves that sound like slow fog horns parting thick waves of smoke and candy. Very beautiful and another great addition to this amazing series. Limited edition of 110 copies and already sold out at source.

Damion Romero
You Can Tell By The Blur

Chondritic Sound CH-147

3
£6.99


Fourth instalment in Romero's (P-Tapes/Speculum Fight et al) on-going series of live recordings, this one has the deep, vacated landscape feel of Mirror circa Islands or some of Andrew Chalk's work with the sound of Industrial factories sunk miles deep beneath the sea while tiny helicopters hover in thick black clouds. Another excellent entry in a fantastic and highly-accomplished series of recordings. Limited edition of 110 copies and already sold out at source.

Josh Lay
Dead Blessings

Chondritic Sound CH-81

3" CD-R
£6.99


"A heavy, hateful outlook from this Cadaver In Drag hammerer via dark electronics and spiteful vocals. 17 minutes of digging through wet soil only to be disgusting by what you find buried within. His first release for Chondritic but a personal favourite of his canon. Reminds slightly of Neuntoter Der Plage. Colour artwork and painted CD-R." - Greh Holger.

Sewer Election + Treriksroset
The Killing Sessions

Chondritic Sound CH-175

CD
£6.99


"Sewer election and Treriksroset join forces to bring you two slabs focused obsession via harsh walls of noise - never too muddy but never too clean - some would say just perfect. Reissue of two of the best tapes to come out of Sweden in a while, killing for Norrland and killing for Finland. Both originally on Harsh Head Rituals and now co-released by Chondritic Sound and Troniks. Edition of 500 copies." - Greh Holger.

Treriksroset
Sexregler

Chondritic Sound CH-151

CD
£6.99


"One of Sweden's finest offers up an absolute industrial wasteland, every bit as intricate as it is desolate. Reissue of a limited cassette on Proiekt Hat Commercial Enterprises and lovingly re-mastered by Lasse Marhaug, Chondritic Sound and Troniks are proud to present this 46 minute piece laid bare on compact disc for your listening pleasure. Edition of 500." - Chondritic Sound.

Dour
Abrasion

Chondritic Sound CH-190

3" CD-R
£6.99


“73 copies - newcomer on the ypsi scene and already tearing fresh holes with his harshness. 21 minutes of stream-of-consciousness harsh zone free-flowing in all its hissing, spitting and looping glory. rumour has it he used a foghorn on this recording. what? voted most likely to have moustache wax in his leather jacket. painted cdr, color cover.” – CS.

God Willing
Bad Decisions

Chondritic Sound CH-185

3" CD-R
£6.99


“94 copies - scum crew? dead boys. in nashville via los angeles with heart in providence. god willing/ren brings you down to where the floor is frying. bad days from bad decisions. starting with a stagnant buzz and building into soaring waves of fuzz and depleted ambition. painted cdr, color cover.” – CS.

Damion Romero
You Can Tell By The Blur

Chondritic Sound CH-192

3" CD-R
£6.99


“110 copies - recorded at no fun fest '05; was this the first time you saw damion romero play live? hold the memory forever. that seering crumble simmers at first and then completely engulfs your space. another perfect addition to the growing series. another piece to the puzzle. highly recommended. painted cdr, color cover.” – CS.

Neuntoter Der Plage
Let Your Flesh Writhe, For It Is Your Time

Chondritic Sound CH-219

Cassette
£7.99


“99 copies –another offering of relentless sickness from this Oppermann alter-ego. 70 minutes via 9 tales of nefarious vampiric deeds, told through rasped vocals laid over diseased electronic pulses and undulations. black metal gone electronic to provide psychedelic cruelty at its finest.” – CS.
