Description

Listen to Pulse Demon by Merzbow on Deezer.

Pulse Demon is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. Unlike Venereology, his previous album for Release, this album is not inspired by heavy metal. Outtakes from this album are included on Merzmorphosis. Pulse Demon was reissued on vinyl in May 2018 by Bludhoney Records. The holographic, shiny silver artwork is a homage to the 1970s Prospective 21e Siècle imprint of Philips Records, in particular the albums of Ivo Malec.

Pulse Demon is simply pure sound, viciously unadulterated static. The earlier releases stimulated the imagination; Pulse Demon decimates it. It also has a bit of a beat that would be further dismantled in the succeeding years. Pulse Demon is Meet the Beatles, where you start to understand Masami Akita's appeal before the relentless experimentalism period. Case in point: Animal Magnetism, one of the more approachable recent Merzbow releases. I can easily imagine someone enjoying this album who doesn't even feign to enjoy masochism. On the titular track, the mix is muddled, there are tinny beats in the surroundings, and the slow rise of a pseudo-melody. There are still static, androids, and bondage, of course, but this is definitely a step closer to getting signed to Astralwerks. Quiet Men" is a light, vivacious cartoon, making the sound Warner Bros. animals make when they spin around.

Pulse Demon ‎(2xLP, Album, Ltd, RE, Spi). This release rises above the average Merzbow material in terms of hardness and harshness by more than just a few levels, and is certainly one of the most firmly over-compressed productions of all time.

Yellow Hyper Balls ⚠️VINYL IS 100% SOLD OUT. STAY TUNED⚠️ Merzbow's legendary 1996 psychedelic harsh noise masterpiece has remained among the most extreme and polarizing albums ever recorded, every bit as intense and cathartic today as it was two decades ago. "Pulse Demon" is the holy grail of the Japanese noise god's discography - brimming with unrestrained energy and vibrance, this . .

Everyone who frequents the infamous message board 4chan has seen an album cover or heard of the name Merzbow before. And with the name and album cover of his most famous album. It makes you think you're in for a bleak, depressing but beautiful journey with amazing instrumentals.

Pulse Demon is no ordinary album; its triple thick noise layers virtually launch itself to the eardrums, instantly crushing your hearing abilities. A lot of noise can cause major damage, but Pulse Demon grips on tight and strangles your ears to death INSTANTLY! Plus, Pulse Demon's powerful noise is so strong, it even works underwater!.

this album sounds like the feeling of your arm or leg when it gets pins and needles. 3 weeks ago. I play this every time my mom and her bf have sex to just make them feel uncomfortable. album cover is cool. I used to listen to this album in high school all the time.

Only found about this vinyl version's existence yesterday even though I've waited for it for ages.Can anyone confirm if there's going to be a repress?The number of copies pressed was more than miserable...
Soustil Soustil
a repressing was confirmed but that might be in trouble after the label and owner went AWOL

I must be getting old because this is literal trash. Is all "Noise" like this? What kind of hipster would pay good money for this stuff?
Rigiot Rigiot
I'll take the vinyl off your hands if you don't want it

The original came out 20 years ago and Merzbow has been making music pretty much just like this for 30+ years, so your age has nothing to do with it. "Literally" trash, so it's like a banana peel or an empty can of beer, I see, well use it to fuel your time machine then!

It's great album, certainly one of his best. I listen to this regulary. Stop judging people.
Yalone Yalone
It's not his best release. People just like the cover.

Absolute rip off! $40 new from label. poser hipster douches!

Try maybe 2500 next time bludhoney... I've been waiting for this record for years!!!thanks for playing though:)
Manazar Manazar
They will do repress (confirmed). Of course it may be another 400 or so, so stay tuned and ready. Also more Merzbow to come :)

Too bad I have a job and a life. this came and went while I was at work. Fuck limited editions on classic stuffs and double fuck opportunists who live online to flip records.
Legionstatic Legionstatic
Wow, that took no time at all for the horrible opportunists to resell at a ridiculous markup to the unlucky who weren't sitting on Bandcamp with their finger on "refresh". There's a special place in hell for those sellers. Bludhoney should do a quick repress - probably could sell another 500 with ease.

The page was up for two hours, there were about 80 or so left when i got there (only an hour late). They even made available the date and time when it'd be available to buy. Don't complain.

"last sold: never" and only one is for sale, some people just buy them to have y'know?

If anybody's looking to trade a spiral blast for my silver or sell a deluxe version/spiral blast version, message me please :)
Tejora Tejora
Looking to buy the cassette bundle! Willing to pay a good price for it! Missed it by seconds, message me if you're thinking about selling!
Westened Westened
or maybe they were trying to bring the price down via bundle
Rasmus Rasmus
They could have sold the tape to those who couldn't afford the vinyl instead of bundling it with vinyl. This label is clearly only in it for the money. Screw Bludhoney...or should I say Bloodmoney! >:-(
