Clash of the titans! Highly acclaimed Japanese Cut Up Noise stalwart scum teams up with German Power Electronics enfant terrible Scatmother to present a split that should please both fans of inventive and well-crafted Noise as well as the bluntest Post Industrial obscenities. Both artists showcase their talents to a great extent, making this a release that is not to be missed.

Scum should be known to anyone interested in the diverse world of Harsh Noise, since he has not only teamed up with some of the biggest pioneers of the genre, but has also done notable releases on some of the most prestigious labels in the field. As usual, this Japanese rising star manages to capture full-on brutality but still merge it with the utmost precision and pacing – truly enticing! Scatmother explores semi-experimental soundsources which the well-known brutalist from Germany has arranged to his trademark Power Electronics structures. Recurring synthlines, bursts of Feedback and unhinged bestial vocals conjure up feelings of apocalyptic despair and dark parallel worlds reminiscent of Japanese horror tropes. In many ways, this Scatmother / scum split continues in the vein that made Post Industrial great in its earliest days. Different ends of the spectrum, both brought to perfect fruition by genuine enthusiasts who express themselves beyond all artistic boundaries. The tape is highly limited and expected to go fast.
