Here’s a terminally raw, grimly worn, at points searing ‘n’ drilling wall noise split. It brings together Frances Pit Of Despair and Illinois Woods Mattress- each party offers up around half an hour wall. The first is fairly fixed, while the second is mostly fixed, though later on, we do get some rewarding deviation.

Color Noise Wall brings together three around ten-minute walls from this Czech project. As its title suggests, there is textual variety between each track.

Equal parts ethnographic research and percussive exploration, Simon Berz‘s Tectonic is proof of an enduring intelligence within sound and its contexts and histories as marshalled by an accomplished musician and researcher.

Parallel Disalignment sits somewhere between more polished/pristine harsh noise and dartingly seared electro-acoustics. It’s the second release from this project, which is the solo venture of Malaysian electronic artist, Y’ng-Yin Siew (Reverse Image).

The Battlefield Is Everywhere is a very difficult album to pigeonhole, as it not only often switches between sonically ambient, noisy, and dense. It also liberally blends 'n' blurs genres such as synth drone, prog/ post-rock, shoegaze, noise, and dense/droned-out singer-songwriter fare.

Here we have the first release in quite some time from this Scottish droning  & baying guitar-based project. Quakes is a CDR release- featuring seven tracks over its two-disc run. There is a decent shift in both tone and feel from track-to-track.

Now here’s an extremely sleazy, bad taste, and wholly unwholesome take on 1970’s sexploitation comedy form.  The film regards three escaped criminally insane sex addicts heading to a girls' school during a vacation, where only a handful of students- played by large-breasted actresses- are left. The film is highly misogynistic, homophobic, and racist- with the rape/ nasty sleaze often present with playful comic music. It’s a picture that is truly wrong on every level, with the viewer's jaw dropping further and further as the whole thing unfolds.  Here from VCI Entertainment’s The Psychotronica Collection is a dual DVD & Blu Ray release of the film, including an archive commentary track, and a few trailers/ shorts

Play Dead (2025) is an Argentine survival horror slasher from director Carlos Goitia (Nightmare Radio: The Night Stalker and The 100 Candles Game: The Last Possession). Written by Gonzalo Mellid and Camilo Zaffora, it stars Paula Brasca (What the Waters Left Behind and Focus) alongside a largely unknown cast including Damian Castillo, Catalina Motto, and Marta Quarleri. The film premiered at the 47th Moscow International Film Festival and follows a woman who wakes up in a basement surrounded by corpses and must play dead to survive a masked killer's ritualistic game.

Coven of the Black Cube is a 2024 film that blends threads of witchcraft curses, queer romance, metalhead drama, and horror. It’s a SOV affair, very much paying tribute to the 1990’s- with moments of glitching to psychedelic static, a genre-shifting soundtrack which moves between eerie ambience, different varieties of heavy metal, indie rock/ pop, and uneasy pagan folk. Here, Blood Sick Promotions is a region-free Blu-ray of the film, taking in a commentary track and behind-the-scenes footage.

Cape Cod Cthulhu is somewhat of a bizarro mix of slasher & dread-filled cosmic horror, with light & lo-fi CGI  touches of weather-focused disaster,  giant monster action, and postmodern satire. This film is helmed by Mark Polonia, one of the most prolific figures in US low-budget horror/ sci-fi. This was his seventh and final film of 2025. Here from SRS Cinema is a Blu-ray release of the picture, taking in as always, with a  Polonia release, a most interesting & informative commentary.

Walls Towards Nothingness offers up six twenty-minute blocks of walled noise from this Mexico City project. All six tracks are fairly dense, unrelenting, and brutal examples of the genre, fitting the release's title.

All The Pretty Little Kittens is thirteen minute Ep that blends choppy & rugged wall noise with rising & glowing guitar ambience/ mellow shoegaze. It’s a collaboration between Olsztyn, Poland’s Olion and Liverpool’s Silver Dove, 

Anti-France Vaincra ↙↙↙ is a nearly hour-long slab of doomily purring 'n' churning walled noise from this French project. The track has a decidedly dense and suffocating presence- with a fixed and unforgiving focus.

Collaboration can open doors and channels to composition, allowing one to view their pieces in a new light and reveal new approaches to music creation. Autistici has released the third in a three-part collaboration series with Familiarity Unfolded (following Familiarity Folded and Familiarity Enfolded), working with five other artists over six engaging electronic tracks. With the artists both co-writing and remixing each other's work, each collab brings the pair closer together, each track being an expression of this artistic camaraderie. 

Cutter’s Way (aka Cutter and Bone) is a 1981 neo-noir thriller, directed by Ivan Passer (Intimate Lighting, Haunted Summer and Crime and Passion). The film stars Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski, Starman and Crazy Heart), John Heard (Cat People, Big and After Hours), Lisa Eichhorn (The Vanishing, The Europeans and About Time), Ann Dusenberry (Jaws 2, Lies and The Men’s Club) and Stephen Elliott (Death Wish, Beverley Hills Cop and Arthur).

Appearing four years before Teen Wolf, there was another eighties teenager-focused Lycanthrope comedy on the block, Full Moon High. It took a more slapstick, often plain silly route to its humour, as well as generally satirising teen films of the fifties, with liberal stabs at American politics.  Here from Eureka is the Blu-ray release of the film, featuring both new and commentary tracks, with a new interview and essay.

The Stuntman is a decidedly distinctive and original early 80’s film, which blends elements of dark comedy, film-making satire, psychological thriller, drama and action film. It regards a on-the-run fugitive, who literally stumbles onto the set of a film, a seasoned director who may/ may not be mad. The movie is a wonderfully tonal shifting affair, which is constantly batting back and forth between the real ‘n’ unreal and serious drama ‘n’ comedy, making for a head-spinning, unpredictable yet entertaining ride.  Here from Radiance Films TX sublabel is a dual Blu Ray & UHD release of the film- featuring a 4k scan, new and archive commentary tracks/ extras.

Wayne Wang, best known for films such as Chan Is Missing, Dim Sum: A Little Bit of Heart, and The Joy Luck Club, revisits one of his most unusual projects with Life Is Cheap, But Toilet Paper Is Expensive. Originally released in 1989 and later revised into the version presented here, the film was co-directed and co-written by Spencer Nakasako, who also stars in the central role.
