Our Take

MERZBOW & LAWRENCE ENGLISH may be a match made in noise heaven, but their latest collaboration, "Eternal Stalker," is a dance with the devil that may leave your eardrums begging for mercy. This album is not for the faint of heart or those with a delicate disposition; it's a sonic assault that will leave you questioning your own sanity.

From the opening track, "Chaos Pulse," to the cacophonous climax of "Infinite Horizon," MERZBOW & LAWRENCE ENGLISH take listeners on a journey through the darkest depths of their soundscapes. The relentless barrage of harsh noise and discordant frequencies is a testament to their mastery of the genre, but it may leave some feeling like they've been put through a sonic meat grinder.

Despite the overwhelming intensity of "Eternal Stalker," there are moments of sheer brilliance that shine through the chaos. Tracks like "Feedback Loop" and "Phantom Limb" showcase the duo's ability to create beauty out of dissonance, offering a brief respite from the auditory onslaught.

In the end, "Eternal Stalker" is a challenging and uncompromising listening experience that will divide audiences. Fans of noise music will revel in its abrasive textures and avant-garde sensibilities, while those with more delicate sensibilities may find themselves reaching for the earplugs. Love it or hate it, one thing's for certain: MERZBOW & LAWRENCE ENGLISH have created a work of art that demands to be heard, for better or for worse.

About the artist

Merzbow & Lawrence English

Together, they form a dynamic duo that pushes the boundaries of sonic exploration. Their collaborative work is a marriage of chaos and beauty, a cacophony of noise that somehow coalesces into something strangely hypnotic. MERZBOW's mastery of harsh, abrasive textures meets Lawrence English's knack for creating immersive soundscapes, resulting in a sonic landscape that is as disorienting as it is compelling. Their live performances are a testament to their skill as musicians, as they effortlessly weave together layers of glitchy electronic sounds and distorted feedback. Watching them on stage is like witnessing a sonic storm unfold before your very eyes. MERZBOW & LAWRENCE ENGLISH are not for the faint of heart. Their music is challenging, confrontational, and often abrasive. But for those willing to venture into the realm of experimental noise, they offer a journey unlike any other. In a world saturated with cookie-cutter pop music, MERZBOW & LAWRENCE ENGLISH stand out as true sonic pioneers. They are unafraid to push the boundaries of what music can be, and their fearless experimentation is a breath of fresh air in an industry that often feels stagnant. So, if you're looking for an auditory adventure unlike any other, look no further than MERZBOW & LAWRENCE ENGLISH. Just be prepared to have your senses thoroughly shaken and stirred in the process.
