Kevin Drumm, Hong Chulki, Choi Joonyong - Normal
Anything from the Korean label Balloon & Needle is worth hearing, and this live trio recording from 2014 (released as a CD in 2015) is no exception. If you aren't already a fan of Hong Chulki and Choi Joonyong, I hope this makes you want to further explore their catalogs.

Lordy lordy, you get yourself a title and then you turn in a 36 and a half minute piece of genius that includes some really twisted up drum and bass samples ... you know the bit before the beat drops?

Awkward Geisha - Death Metal
The other day, I was listening to Toxic Cock Syndrome and decided that I needed to check out Awkward Geisha. Never heard of them before and where the fuck have I been? They seem to have been a bunch of people diving in and out of proceedings creating what can only be called art. The only deadly metal on offer here is the axe on the cover. Think slo-mo and kinky post-hardcore, forgotten jazz records, slinky noodling that goes somewhere but where is none of your business, orchestral glitch and then put it in a blender ... what do I know? Well, I know it's quality!
Whilst claiming to be a triple CDr released in 2017, this is from a bandcamp site that doesn't appear to exist anymore.

Violent Onsen Geisha - Shocks! Shocks! Shocks! Remix '93
"Vanilla cassette CD reissue series Vol 1: VIOLENT ONSEN GEISHA's 91 debut. Super violent remix with an unreleased, 20 min.bonus track. This is the mega tape wich kicked open the gates of fame for VIOLENT ONSEN GEISHA." Bit dramatic. It's 22:52 by the way. Just saying.
Lossless rip of the CD released on Ring Music in 1993.

Hair Stylistics - CD-R03
Self-released CDr from 2010 featuring a single 55 minute track of raucous cetacean bewilderment.

MSBR - Collapseland
It's hard to choose a favorite MSBR album, but this 1995 CD is probably mine. Inspired by the tragic earthquake in Kobe in January of the same year, "Collapseland" is riveting and overpowering. It was released in a deluxe oversized package by a German label called Heel Stone, which only produced 3 CDs before closing up shop (one of which was the mediocre "Hole" by Merzbow, audibly not giving a shit, though the packaging on that album is better than the music). A strong album among loads of strong MSBR albums and one of the all-time classics of Japanese noise. Read more...

The Gerogerigegege / Sedem Minút Strachu - Turn It Into Love / Rehabilit Dance
If you hear anything weirder this year then what sewers do you trawl? If only Japan was allowed into the Eurovision Song Contest so he could bestride the world with his manipulated filth.
The other side is in a different but equally genius place. Sedem Minút Strachu are a bunch of Slovakian noisecore arsekickers that I didn't know anything about until I heard this release. Very impressive.
7" released on K.A.Z. in 2020.
