LP - MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO & MERZBOW - EXTINCT

Style:Industrial / Noise / Breakbeat. Limited BLACK Vinyl in matt-laminate sleeve.

Cold Spring is proud to present a unique collaboration between Industrial Breakbeat pioneers

Meat Beat Manifesto (Jack Dangers) and the undisputed king of Japanese noise, Merzbow

(Masami Akita).

"Extinct" sees the duo take listeners on a transcendental journey, focusing on the dismantling

of beat and structure and recycling the result through layers of beautifully crafted noise and

feedback loops.

The 20 minute opener '!FLAKKA¡' takes constantly evolving breakbeats which are gradually

broken down, driven through a filter of harsh noise, destroying the old to give birth to the new.

Raw and unforgiving, the track is a behemoth that blends mutant forms of broken beats and

hints of dub, creating rhythmic noise of the highest calibre in the process.

'Burner' takes the record to its ultimate conclusion, the initial drum beat broken down so that

it is barely recognisable. Pulsating distortion and high end audio fragments bleed into each

other as the track lumbers forth and destroys everything in its path before slowly unravelling,

degrading and falling apart.

A harrowing yet somewhat cathartic trip through walls of harsh industrial noise and audio

degradation, "Extinct" is a masterful pairing of artists who have delivered something truly

unique yet totally relevant. Don't sleep on this one!

Composed, recorded and produced November 2023 - January 2024 by Jack Dangers and

Masami Akita.
