Holy fuckin shit! This Lasse Marhaug 'The Quiet North' CD on Second Layer will blow the cobwebs out to say the least. This is some seriously extreme and harsh abrasive racket to separate the men from the boys. Good gosh this is relentless insanity! Created with guitar, microphones, metal objects and pedals. The man Marhaug is in top form here and looking super cool on the sleeve with a big snow vehicle. I've heard a lot of noise over the years and I reckon this is as skull shattering as I've heard. I reckon the man sleeps inside Tauntaun's. Also I like his jacket. Noise fiends should give this a blast... Oh man this is mind melting! Marhaug rules!

Brand new harsh-noise recording from Norway’s finest. Guitar, pedals and metal objects used with ‘Reign In Blood’ style efficiency. No cut-ups, no drastic changes, yet the energy is sustained for the duration. Despite the minimal elements this is not to be confused with wall-noise as this is highly restless material - pure forward driving energy from start to finish. I’m seriously proud of this one. Limited edition of 500 copies in 6-panel digisleeve.
