Atrax Morgue – No More

Posted on by NOISEXTRA

The day before Halloween can only mean one thing—it’s time for Atrax Morgue. This year we discuss “No More.” The final proper Atrax Morgue album hit us in an unhinged way. In addition, Tara talks about the surrealist Pierre Molinier as one of the tracks on the album is dedicated to him. Welcome to the broken sound… enter the club of the dead.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we discuss 3 Italian horror movies — “Blood Delirium,” “Body Puzzle,” and “Murder Obsession.” This half hour segment immediately follows the regular episode on the patreon feed.

Following the final show of his tour with Mortiis, Roger Karmanik sat down with us for a great discussion covering Brighter Death Now, Cold Meat Industry, and all things in-between. For multiple decades Roger has created a world that has inspired countless artists and labels up to this very day. Obviously Roger has been someone we’ve wanted to talk to since Noisextra’s inception and we’re incredibly grateful he sat down with us. Pull up and chair and enjoy this absolute supper.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, Tara gives her thoughts on the BDN show since she was unable to be in the regular episode.

Steve Meketa (Lockweld, Apt 213, Meketa Power Electronics) joins us today for a raucous discussion on his noise and PE path. Meketa’s current project — Meketa Power Electronics — is a personal take on the style, as its theme is his Christian faith. He tell us of his health and mental struggles that lead him to becoming a Christian and how he incorporates this into not only his work. We also get into his original noise project Lockweld and much more. You are not alone!

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we talk all things Apt 213, Meketa’s infamous powerviolence band from the 90s. This 15 minute segment immediately follows the regular episode on the patreon feed.

Stephen Petrus returns to the podcast to talk about the brand new book celebrating 30 years of Murderous Vision. Petrus assembled photos, ephemera, fliers and writings together to give a full look at the history of the project. We always look forward to talking with Stephen as Murderous Vision is a favorite project of Noisextra.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, Petrus provided patrons with a full live set recording from Mistake by the Lake in Cleveland on May 31, 2024. This live show immediately follows the episode on the patreon feed.

In Conversation with Thomas Moore

Author Thomas Moore joins us for a great conversation. Many of his novels have been published by Amphetamine Sulfate, including his newest book “Your Dreams.” We get into the many subjects of his writings…cruising, dreams, language and more. Thomas has been orbiting and into noise for many years and we attempt to connect the dots throughout this episode.

For the ExtraNoisextra on the patreon, Thomas has provided some out of print writing for patrons to read.

In Conversation with Ike Yard (Stuart Argabright & Michael Diekmann)

Posted on by NOISEXTRA

We found ourselves in the empty dark alleyways of early ’80s NYC with Stuart Argabright and Michael Diekmann of the legendary Ike Yard. Stuart and Michael take us through their entire history up to today. We also get into Stuart’s band Black Rain, his work with William Gibson, and plenty more. Ike Yard sits in a unique and strange place in the dark underground, and this discussion keeps the paranoia alive.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we get into what Ike Yard was like live in the early 80s as well as the process of reforming the band in the 2000s. This segment is in the middle of the episode on the patreon feed.

Noise Ephemera

Posted on by NOISEXTRA

Greh began organizing his noise fliers, postcards, stickers, and more so we got together to go thru his collection. We talk about ways to archive and store these items, and the importance of keeping noise ephemera. In addition, we have a pretty extensive recent listening section.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we posted a video of going through some of Greh’s items, some that are mentioned on the episode and some exclusive to the video.

In Conversation with Davin Brainard (Princess Dragon-Mom, Time Stereo)

Posted on by NOISEXTRA

Davin Brainard of Princess Dragon Mom and Time Stereo joins us to head back to his early days of noise. Davin worked at Record Collector in the late 80s throughout the 90s and supplied Greh and the greater Michigan area with classic noise releases. In addition, Davin brought MSBR, Government Alpha, and Aube to the US. We get into all of this and more with an original of the scene.

For ExtraNoisextra on the patreon, a big question about the Fab .44 Pure CD is answered with history behind the project. Also, Davin talks about seeing hardcore shows in the 80s. These two segments are in the middle of the episode.

Behind the Green Door

Posted on by NOISEXTRA

We go back in time to when Greh lived in and ran his loft venue the Green Door in Detroit. Greh gives us his history moving in and deciding to host many noise shows. We get into some of the madness, some of the idiocy and some of the greatness of the Green Door. Don’t lock your car doors, that way you don’t have to clean up the broken window.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment, we are including a couple recordings made at the Green Door — Bloodyminded “Live Behind the Green Door” and a track from Aaron Dilloway.
