Our Take

MERZBOW, Keiji Haino, and Balazs Pandi have come together to create a sonic tsunami of an album with "Become The Discovered Not The Discoverer." This Transparent Orange Vinyl release is not just a record, it's an experience that will leave you questioning reality and your own existence.

From the moment the needle drops, you are catapulted into a whirlwind of noise and chaos that somehow manages to feel strangely euphoric. MERZBOW's mastery of electronic manipulation, Haino's haunting vocals, and Pandi's relentless drumming combine to create a cacophony of sound that is both overwhelming and exhilarating.

Tracks like "Abyss of Selfish" and "Flame" showcase the trio's ability to push boundaries and challenge conventional ideas of music. Each note feels like a punch to the gut, leaving you gasping for air and begging for more.

But don't be fooled by the seemingly chaotic nature of the album. There is a method to the madness, a sense of purpose that becomes clearer with each listen. "Become The Discovered Not The Discoverer" is not just music, it's a journey into the unknown, a chance to explore the depths of your own soul.

So, strap yourself in, turn up the volume, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride unlike any other. MERZBOW, Keiji Haino, and Balazs Pandi have created something truly special with this album, and it's a trip you won't soon forget.
