Boris With Merzbow - Klatter

Artist: Boris With Merzbow
Album: Klatter
Year: 2011
Genre(s): Stoner metal, psychedelic, noise rock

The new collaboration between Boris and Merzbow, Klatter, is a reinterpretation of three songs from Boris's Akuma No Uta, an original, and a cover. This is mostly Boris; it feels like Merzbow hardly does anything on it. Still good, though. Expect more Boris in the near future. Three new Boris full-lengths are on the way within the next couple months (New Album, Attention Please, and Heavy Rocks, which is not to be confused with their previous release of the same name; it is not a reissue but an entirely new album using the same title). Anyway, to give credit to the source, I had found this on Angrychairs, another good blog you should probably check from time to time.

Merzbow - Hybrid Noisebloom

Artist: Merzbow
Album: Hybrid Noisebloom
Year: 1997
Genre(s): Noise

With a discography of over 300 albums (probably way more than that by now) and countless collaborations, splits, etcetera, it's really hard to know what to listen to by Merzbow and becomes even for the biggest fan almost a preposterous task to listen to all of it. This is one of my personal favorites. The textures are rich; this isn't just your typical pffshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh noise. The pieces are dynamic and constantly changing and always exciting. So many layers to this.
