Ak'chamel, The Giver Of Illness – Fucking With Spirits
That untuned guitar underneath the vocal incantations just kills me. 2015 tape on Centipede Farm.

Ak'chamel, The Giver Of Illness – Foreskin Of Enlightenment
Yes, here they are appropriately lo-fi and mescaline-infested. 2015 tape on Jeuness Cosmique.

Ak'chamel, The Giver Of Illness – Lowlands Of Hteklum
A slightly more energetic and hi-end recording by Ak'Chamel? Sounds like there's a full band playing here and the spirits of Sun City Girls are twirling above. 2014 tape on Moon Glyph.

Violent Onsen Geisha – Que Sera, Sera (Things Go From Bad To Worse)
Would it be far-fetched if I said that VOG was the only noise act that could match Gero in terms of
diversity and madness no matter what musical style they played?1995 cd on Rail Recordings.

Million Brazilians - Higgy Dins EP
Early MB showcases a more rock/hippy jam approach that feels slightly naive if I might say. 2008 self-released cd.

Bandcamp fee-waive recommendations: Goodparley, Alex Zhang Hungtai & Pavel Milyakov, Clear Gash, Mobius, strom|morts & Aline Spaltenstein
Yet another bandcamp no-fee-for-artists-day is here, so here are some recommendations.
Goodparley - Delay Cycle: Becoming
Guitar ambient loops for extensive zoning. On the excellent Recordiau Prin, which is associated with Chow Mwng.
More zoning, but more bass-heavy this time. On Wormhole World.
Alex Zhang Hungtai & Pavel Milyakov - Styx
I can't say how much I love Alex Zhang Hungtai, whose musical explorations after Dirty Beaches get always more intricate and engaging. Here's he's doing some epic drone sax/guitar meditations, somewhere between Deep Listening and Blade Runner. On Psyx.
Clear Gash - What You Want To See
Immensely noisy punk, somewhere between Killing Joke and Celtic Frost played through the amps of Disclose.
The ritual vocal drone duo is back with a more nature-oriented approach here, not so much black witchcraft but nereid-reverie seduction. On TQN-aut.
strom|morts & Aline Spaltenstein - R4 - Plasmic Mist Precipitator
The inimitable strom|morts (with hero of my youth Knut member Didier) initiates a collaboration with classical musicians, and this track is away from their usual tectonic plate moving power-drone towards subdued classical drone, close to Stars Of The Lid, but with their eyes not looking at the stars but at the abyss. This is how Sunn O)))'s Monoliths and Dimensions would sound if it had been written by Alfred Schnittke or Olivier Messiaen.

Ak'chamel, The Giver Of Illness – The Totemist
This new blogger interface is breaking my balls when I'm trying to upload pics. Three out of four times the pics won't be uploaded. Whatever. If any of you have any ideas how I can bypass this, or even better revert to the old interface, your advice will be deeply appreciated.
Mysterious duo of fourth-world cannibal witchdoctors plays guitar/percussion hymnal incantations of desert folk psychedelia. 2020 LP on Akuphone.
