F.L.A.W. Fest / Ohio Report

"The Pain Factory" was a legendary public access show that aired in San Francisco from 1995-1997. Michael Contreras was at the helm, along with people like Scott Arford and more. Today we discuss the series as a whole as well as favorite individual performances and segments. Enter "The Pain Factory"!!! For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we go over a lot of recent listening.

Ultra's "Youthful Pleasures" is a classic that fills us with perverse joy. This lavish entertainment package is our personal, portable playmate. We gleefully discuss this album & band, and encourage you to take your pleasures where you get them!

The soundtrack to "Eraserhead" has been cited by many early industrial and noise artists as a major influence on their work, let alone the film itself. Today we discuss both the sound and sound he movie in honor of the passing of a legend. David Lynch, we hope that in heaven everything is indeed fine.

Our break has ended and for our return Paolo Bandera joins us to take an in depth look at his decades long journey. Sigillum S, Sshe Retina Stimulants, the Sodality and so much more are discussed. Bandera has a great memory and provides a wealth of fascinating insight into his world of sound. Another noise history lesson is in session.

Noise new year greetings! It’s been awhile but we are back to discuss the old year and the new year. We update you all with 2025 plans and the upcoming path for Noisextra. For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon , we discuss some of our other favorite things we got into in 2024.

The day before Halloween can only mean one thing—it's time for Atrax Morgue. This year we discuss "No More.” The final proper Atrax Morgue album hit us in an unhinged way. In addition, Tara talks about the surrealist Pierre Molinier as one of the tracks on the album is dedicated to him. Welcome to the broken sound… enter the club of the dead. For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we discuss 3 Italian horror movies — "Blood Delirium," "Body Puzzle," and "Murder Obsession." This half hour segment immediately follows the regular episode on the patreon feed.

Greh is back from his noise adventure and is here to tell us all about it. He attended the F.L.A.W. Fest and also played an after show as Black Sand Desert. He gives us a full rundown of his entire trip and gives his thoughts on just about every set. For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, Greh tell us about all the noise he’s been listening to.

Greh was in Ohio (and will be reporting on his noise travels next week), so Mike and Tara hit record for an in-the-moment conversation. Topics include the crushing weight of life, good and bad feedback use, varying approaches on special packaging, some recent noise and more. For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, Tara tells some seasonally appropriate incidents of visiting apparitions. This 20 minute section immediately follows the regular episode on the patreon feed.

Following the final show of his tour with Mortiis, Roger Karmanik sat down with us for a great discussion covering Brighter Death Now, Cold Meat Industry, and all things in-between. For multiple decades Roger has created a world that has inspired countless artists and labels up to this very day. Obviously Roger has been someone we’ve wanted to talk to since Noisextra’s inception and we’re incredibly grateful he sat down with us. Pull up and chair and enjoy this absolute supper. For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, Tara gives her thoughts on the BDN show since she was unable to be in the regular episode.

Today we present a special video episode all about the brand new 666 Volt Battery noise box set on Hospital Productions. Join us as we unbox the set, learn about the background with video provided by Dominick Fernow, and apply the temporary tattoo to Tara! The power of negative energy is flowing and we can’t contain the war against music. Negative energy now.
