steady torrent of mangled noisecore to tortured ears worldwide. Big Fist
Johnny features members of Capt. 3 Leg and Juhyo, with special
dragged-out-of-retirement guest Jon Engman (Custodian, Foetopsy,
Brodequin) on drums, featuring a cavalcade of silly song topics, broken
bass strings and nearly inaudible drums due to severely mistaken
recording decisions on Housepig's part. After massive audio massaging by
Mortville Records head ape Andy, it's now noisy but listenable!

slMakita -
"Cleveland, Ohio"
hpig-024 - released
February 2010
Steve
Makita has been immersed in noise for nearly two decades. From the
power violence attack of Apartment
213, to the organic power-tool
assault of Lockweld,
to lending noise to terrorizers like Agoraphobic
Nosebleed and Fistula,
he has steadily honed his approach while
expanding his range. Now, with his solo concern slMakita, he joins the
Housepig family and brings forth a tightly focused slab of experimental
sound. Finding inspiration in his unabashed love for the legendary Nurse With Wound,
he bypasses imitation and instead immerses the
listener in an open-ended sound space where grinders duet with piano,
pitted metal meets the fragile voice, all enveloped in the resonance of
a decayed environment. A most extraordinary work inspired by a most
mundane locale... "Cleveland, Ohio" is packaged in a standard jewel
case with full-color four-page booklet, and is limited to 300 copies.

The Bastard Noise
& Christian Renou - "Brainstorming II"
hpig-020 - released
December 2009
"Christian Renou really should not need an introduction. The French
master of detail has been cranking out releases under the name Brume
since the mid-1980's. On "Brainstorming II" The Bastard Noise and Renou
prove once again they are capable of creating some of the most haunting
and progressive collaborations beheld. Renou brings unnerving rhythms +
unsettling concrete sound; Wood fuses insect with cruel-tech; both
exponentially more than the sum of their parts. "Brainstorming II" is
startling in it's beauty, fascinating in it's discomfort, spacious and
intense. Housepig is blessed to deliver sounds of such advanced
design." - Kopish 9/9/09
This cd is presented in standard jewel case with 4-panel color booklet. |

The Bastard Noise
& Golem Gross - "Universe of Dishonor"
hpig-019 - released
December 2009
"In 2002, Golem Gross was an unknown "Skull Ally" in Brooklyn who
displayed a strong sense of composition, gentle restraint & an
arsenal of malfunctioning audio. "Universe of Dishonor" transports the
listener to an intergalactic incubus wherein Abrupt Millipede Feeding
and Stegosaurus Wars are apt titles. Abysmal canyons, absolutely blunt
lyrical style & episodes of severly destructive battle make
"Universe of Dishonor" a dynamic, possessed & grievous opus
paying
tribute to the colossal failures of man. Rather than 'just another CD'
in the discography, "Universe of Dishonor" shines as a high point in a
long career of dedication to premium audio display." - Kopish 9/9/09
This cd is presented in standard jewel case with 4-panel color booklet.

harshest and most confrontational sets - 15 minutes of piercing highs,
steamroller lows, aggro vocals and bleak outlook, all pumped through
two separate and cranked PA systems. Limited to 28 copies, all are now
gone to the land of deep-fried bacon. sold

Oblong Box -
"Premature Burial"
hpig-022 - released
September 2009

hear the scrape of a blade along the damp cellar wall behind you, as a
scaly tentacle slowly wraps around your ankle... can you escape the
clutches of the Oblong Box? Sinister sonic craftsmanship is unearthed
in eight tracks of dungeon dwelling audio. "Premature Burial" compiles
various tracks from out-of-print releases, split cassettes and
compilations spanning 2004 to 2007. We dare you to retain control of
your mind as infernal frequencies attack your screaming brain! This cdr
is presented in a dvd-style clear poly case with full-color four-panel

Kawabata Makoto -
"Tales of The Dream Planet"
hpig-015 - released
April 2009
The
mastermind behind Acid
Mothers Temple (and a zillion other projects)
parked his spaceship long enough to fish this cd out of his beard and
give it Housepig, before closing the hatch and rocketing back into the
stratosphere. What he brought back from the Dream Planet is two tracks
of long, overlapping guitar drones; glacially melodic, meditative and a
touch otherworldly. Curl up in your favorite dashiki, let your hair
hang down, fire up some incense (or anything else) and let Kawabata
spin you a tale! This cd is presented in a dvd-style clear poly case
with full-color four-panel jacket, and is limited to 500 copies.

Bastard Noise - "The Immortals"
hpig-021 - released
January 2009

labels, two bands, one crushing release! Each group contributes two
tracks, alternating between doom-laden hardcore and deep space sonic
experimentation. Malachi
(featuring members of Artimus
Pyle, What
Happens Next? and Fuck
Face) brings together a mix of crusty hardcore
and unstoppable doom, all shot through with mournful cello melody. The
Bastard Noise lineup of Wood, Nelson and Rauf (also responsible for the
critically-lauded "Rogue Astronuat" cd) come forth with their signature
oscillator-based transmissions from the void, isolated communications
from beyond Alpha Centauri. This split release is brought to you by
Housepig, Hear More! and 200mg, in a heavy poly sleeve with a unique
shifting-color six-panel insert by Thumbprint Press.
