AZOIKUM NEWS

December 2005

So, finally the Dead White Trash CD-R was released on Self Abuse Records (not on Solipsism as planned before, Patrick, mastermind of both Self Abuse and Solipsism decided that the release was good enough to be released on Self Abuse, thanks Patrick !). This release again contains one longish piece of a brutal mixture consisting of elements of Harsh Noise and Power Electronics. This will end the trilogy of releases containing longish Noise pieces.
As usually, limited quantities of this release are available directly through me.

So a very productive year for Azoikum ends. And it seems like there will be no Azoikum break as planned. Although there are certain people like the head of
a well-known German label saying that there are too many Azoikum releases on the market (jealous, dear Peter ?) there will be as many as there have to be !
As long as there is so much useless biological garbage crawling on the surface of the Earth there will be enough inspiration to continue Azoikum........


September - October 2005

Das Methadonprogramm, a split CD with Government Alpha is out now on Multi National Disaster Records. Limited quantities of this release are avaible through me, as well as very limited quantities of the limited edition in special packaging.

Soon the new release called Dead White Trash will be out on Solipsism/Self Abuse. It will be another 70+ minute piece of solid Harsh Noise, it will end the trilogy of longish Noise piece releases started with Soziopathenparadies and Lifelong Comedown.

After the release of Dead White Trash I will take a longer break with Azoikum to concentrate more on Narbenerde and other projects.

The master for the Split-CD with Government Alpha on Multi National Disaster Records was sent to the label today. It contains again 5 pieces of Harsh Noise, this time more in the American and Japanese tradition of Noise, with the exception of track 5 which has more calm sounds involved and weird cutups, a different version of that track which is called "Alle Farben sind weg II" has been performed at the first Azoikum show last year.
