Su19b (Japan) play a very interesting mix of ultra slow gloomy sludge and hyper fast violence. Terror Firmer (Italy) play old school grindcore with thrash core influences (incl. Terrorizer cover).
Awesome artwork by our very own Huere Artworks.
Another gem forged in hell! INFERNO SONORO!

The collaborative 7″ between Abaton and Viscera/// is finally out!
Get it for 6 CHF / 6 €uro by writing us an e-mail to insomnia_isterica(at)hotmail(dot)com or through bandcamp.
Here’s what CVLT Nation said about the record:
Sometimes you get a split, with two bands each providing tracks for a release; and then every once in a while you get a collaboration where two bands fuse together, playing the same music and making shit escalate to alarming levels of heaviness. That’s what ABATON and VISCERA///from Italy have brought you: two aural discharges of crushing heaviness in which both bands have fused into one band for maximum leveling force. ABATON and VISCERA/// are two of Italy’s longest running, most crushing veteran sludge metal bands. They have released albums on labels like Consouling Sounds and shared the stage with the likes of Amenra and Cult of Luna. This 7″ collaborative EP they bring us called Diade(ms) is a statement of their friendship and of their sonic power. A place where they come together to celebrate each other’s music and get absolutely crazy heavy together (http://www.cvltnation.com/exclusive-cvlt-nation-streaming-abaton-viscera-special-needs/).
The live tape of the weirdos Convulsif is also out today! Expect a very interesting mix of noise, black metal and doom metal all blended from a base of free jazz. I personally think that these guys from the French speaking part of Switzerland are amazing and that you’ll all be surprised by the quality of their huge sound!
Get the tape for 5 CHF / 4 €uro by writing us an e-mail to insomnia_isterica(at)hotmail(dot)com or through bandcamp.
In June we are leaving to tour with our French fried friends Warfuck. We still need some help (see flyer).
Our new t-shirts are now available in two colours. Get yours for 15 CHF / 12 € plus shipping!
We also have another new release out! Eventually we got our copies of the debut LP of ANF (Always Never Fun), power violence from Palermo (Italy)! I can’t recommend this piece of wax enough! It’s just awesome!
The new split 7″ between Insomnia Isterica and Terror Firmer is finally out! It is entitled “Alcoholocaust” and is limited to 520 transparent yellow copies.
I’ve tried to sum up the feeling of this record in a few words:
“Split 7″ number 5 for both IAxIA and TF. Swiss and Italian grinders team up to release an holocaust of alcoholic mystery stories: IAxIA deliver 6 new raging and hysteric tracks without forgetting their punk attitude; TF keep on releasing angry old school grindcore with some thrashcore influences with 5 songs including a FOG cover. All copies come in transparent yellow to emphasize the beer and piss feeling and an awesome artwork.”
Split 7″ Insomnia Isterica / Terror Firmer + Split 7″ Insomnia Isterica / Gokurtrussell + Supergrinding 6 way split CD (feat. Biotox / Genital Orgasm / Insomnia Isterica / Lactovaginal / Pulmonary Fibrosis / Sposa In Alto Mare) + L’è Tütt Folklor Records trucker hat = 26 CHF / 21.60 €uro
(Sorry for the stupid fucking currencies… They’re killing us…)
If you wanna trade, please get in touch with your offer. Since the other labels that helped us putting the 7″ out still have to receive their copies (see flyer above), consider if you wanna trade with them if you are already usually doing so, so that we can keep it “honest”.
It took a while to receive our copies but here it is now and it looks pretty cool and sexy!
The new Supergrinding 6 way split featuring some shitty bands from France, Italy, Switzerland and Poland will make your ass shake like during an earthquake on your toilet!
Buy it now for 10 CHF / 7 €uro or get in touch for trades.
Mi sono agitato non poco quando sono venuto a conoscenza di questo documentario dedicato agli amanti del vinile e della musica su vinile. Non posso di certo vantare la grandezza delle collezioni esposte in questo film, ma l’empatia e la frustrazione provata da molti amanti del collezionismo ad oltranza e spesso incontrollato di dischi non mi ha lasciato senza un certo tremolio intestinale.
L’autore di “Vinylmania” è uno che, come si usa dire, gira da un pezzo e le sue esperienze nel djing e nella sonorizzazione anche in ambienti televisivi aiuta lo svolgersi dell’azione che prende luogo in Europa, America e Giappone.
Molti gli artisti e i collezionisti che si aprono anche molto intimamente e che espongono con grande orgoglio i propri cimeli e di grande impatto le discussioni che nascono e si sviluppano con l’autore che non si perde mai in facili divagazioni, bensì riesce a seguire un fil rouge che permette anche ai non iniziati all’amore del vinile di ritrovarsi in questa esperienza non solo sonora ma anche visiva.
Gli autori hanno lanciato una raccolta fondi su kickstarter per la produzione in dvd del film. La bella notizia è che ci sono riusciti. Non pensavo ce la facessero, visto che solo nell’ultimo giorno si sono lanciati i grossi investitori…
PS: Grandi emozioni nel vedere il disco degli Eyehategod all’11° minuto.

Da ARTE (Deutsch):
“Von Tokio bis New York, London, Paris und Prag begegnet man dem rätselhaften Stamm der Sammler, DJs, Musiker und Künstler. Es gibt wieder Geschäfte, in denen sich Leidenschaft in Fieber verwandelt und eine Fabrik, die wieder Millionen Scheiben presst – die Schallplatte ist zurück und das leise Knistern ist wieder da! Woher kommt dieses Revival der totgesagten schwarzen Scheibe? Was entdecken junge Leute an der Schallplatte, die zwar nie ganz weg war, aber doch eher als Relikt für unverbesserliche Nostalgiker galt? Nun will so mancher der Jugendlichen, die mit unendlich reproduzier- und kopierbaren Musikdateien aufgewachsen sind, dem sinnlichen und emotionalen Geheimnis dieser zerbrechlichen Scheibe näher kommen. Was die Schallplatten-Maniacs immer wussten: “Vinyl doesn’t die” wird jetzt von denen bestätigt, die Schallplatten cool finden. Paolo Campana, Autor und Regisseur von “Vinylmania”, ist selbst DJ, die Platten sind sein Handwerkszeug und seine große Liebe. Und allabendlich kommt er mit jungen Leuten ins Gespräch, die sich über die Generationen hinweg interessieren für die Geschichten, die Plattenfans, Musiker und Künstler mit dem Objekt ihrer Begierde verbindet. Natürlich ist das Revival der Schallplatte kein Massenphänomen – wohl aber eines, das eine große Sehnsucht nach Sinnlichkeit zum Ausdruck bringt. Denn im Gegensatz zu einer MP3-Datei kann man die Platte anfassen, scratchen und mit einem stilechten Cover versehen. Und vor allem verbinden sich mit ihr für diejenigen, die mit der Scheibe aufgewachsen sind, häufig die wichtigen Geschichten des Lebens. “Vinylmania” macht sich auf die Suche nach der alten und neuen Leidenschaft für dieses Objekt und legt die Welt der Vinylisten in 33 1/3 Umdrehungen pro Minute noch einmal neu auf.

Français:
“Vous pensiez que, dans notre monde numérisé, les disques vinyles étaient anachroniques, en voie de disparition ? Eh bien, détrompez-vous : ils se portent bien ! Comment expliquer ce renouveau ? S’agit-il d’une réaction à la culture du zapping représentée par l’iPod et le MP3 ? Quelque chose de l’ordre de la nostalgie ou de la quête d’identité ? Le réalisateur Paolo Campana, qui possède lui-même plus de trois mille vinyles, enquête sur ce qu’il considère comme un phénomène culturel. Un étonnant voyage dans lequel se croisent les témoignages de disquaires, de DJ, d’artistes, de collectionneurs, d’adolescents, d’experts, d’amoureux de la musique…
(Italie, 2010, 75mn)”
Aggiungo un video dei Taste Of Blood. Primo concerto in assoluto e ovviamente in Fiaska.
