Cinema Sewer, Disturbing, Fetish, Shockumentary, Mixtape; 2 x DVD (RARE!) with hand drawn DVD art and 8 page zine - Ex Used condition
Anyone Googling "Video Mixtape" will be immediately exposed to links and references to the Retard-O-Tron mixtapes – possibly the most controversial and popular mixtapes around, already banned in the US, Canada and Ireland. Made in league with Robin Bougie’s excellent publication Cinema Sewer which scours the seedy underbelly of fringe cinema’s underbelly. Of course, porn aside, many of these mixtapes can hardly be considered legal. Who knows how many instances of copyright infringement there are in each one – dozens would seem conservative – but since the mixtape scene is still fairly focused and most of the source material so obscure, the creators seem to be largely left alone. Spewing forth a frothy overload of unbelievable, uncomfortable and at times totally embarrassing clips harvested from the deepest, dankest VHS dungeons and other unnameable appalling archives. Stitching together over an hour and a half of public access atrocities, loveably ludicrous fight scenes, gross-outs galore and some of the sleaziest, slimiest XXX insanity to ever penetrate your brain, editor Roelewapper often flips the clips, juxtaposing them against ironic, inappropriate and absolutely hilarious audio, sending the material into a completely backwards and bonkers context. All of this vile video vindication congealed with an impressive array of video editing skills makes this mix-tape most nauseating entertainment... but the real question is: can you stomach the avalanche of sordid perversion and perpetual uneasy feeling this collection presents? Just in case you didn’t get the message – the ROT mixtapes are NOT for kids or anyone easily offended. Absolutely, categorically NSFW – you have been warned.

From the ominous darkness and intensity of its opening moments, one might expect a death metal album to break out in an instant, but Theory of Machines is an album whose design is as symphonic as it is confrontational - the tempo doesn’t pick up, no hooks or vocals arrives, and when the drums finally kick in they are as fragmented and corroded as they could possibly be and still resemble a groove.
In Theory of Machines, Ben Frostexploits every extreme of pitch, volume and timbre, the changes in music sometimes seem as gradual as changes in the weather - and sometimes as violent. As the music changes it changes only in textures, colour and intensity so that the sense is not of something being created, altered or even developed, but of something already present being slowly illuminated.

Over The Top With Nudity, Sex & Disturbing Images.
It Just Doesn’t Get Any Sleazier, Folks!”
-THE DAILY GRINDHOUSE
“A young bride,” promised the ads, “left alone to the lewd passions of an evil dwarf!” Severin Films is officially going to Hell – and taking you with them – with the first time ever in America DVD release of what may be the sleaziest film in EuroCult history: Diminutive former kiddie-show host Torben Bille – who looks disturbingly like Jack Black in a trash compactor – stars as the pint-sized pervert who imprisons drugged teenage sex slaves in the attic of his drunken mother’s decrepit rooming house…and that’s just the first ten minutes! The delicious Anne Sparrow – in her first and understandably only screen role – co-stars in this towering achievement in graphic depravity, now fully restored from a 35mm print discovered hidden in a janitor’s closet at the Danish Film Institute!

Hazed from a drug overdose and brutally beaten, Sister Sarah will find herself in the middle of a bad trip, mentally abused, enslaved and coerced into prostitution for the evil and sleazy El Chavo's "Los Muertos" biker gang. Right on the brink of demise and totally abandoned by the pious merchants of dope, the left-for-dead Sister will take on a mission to put the fear of God into sinners and to persecute all those who stand against Him. So, without delay, prepared for vengeance while armed with God's tools and a heavy arsenal to do the Lord's work, merciless Sister Sarah will start whacking priests one-by-one in a strictly personal vigilante frenzy. After all, she is the Hand of God amid Holy War, where no one is spared and no prisoners are taken.
Synth, Noise, Experimental, Wolf Eyes, Nate Young; Limited Edition Vinyl LP (500 copies) - Ex Used condition
This split LP is, fittingly enough, a co-release between the CIP label and Vertonen's own CIP imprint. Demons is the all-synth-playing duo of Wolf Eyes man Nate Young and Steven Kenney of Isis and Werewolves, and their side comes in the form of a live recording of a Chicago show from earlier this year. The sounds are brutal but highly sculpted oscillator articulations very much in keeping with the Merzbow/Carlos Giffoni analogue material that was circulating a month or so back. It's a hybrid of ferocious noise assaults and sci-fi LFO experiments. Very nice indeed. Over on the flipside Vertonen pushes the volume levels upward for some grittier sounds, which flail about the place admirably until the whole thing settles down into a solid drone signal, which reluctantly ebbs out to a close.....
Experimental, Electronic, Noise, Nate Young, Wolf Eyes, Detroit, Industrial, Harsh; Vinyl LP (2008)
Nate Young airs two of his alter egos on this great split LP: Demons, featuring Steve Kenney, and Hatred, which combines Young once again with Kenney, but this time with the added presence of Spence Bryant. The Hatred side sounds like the motor on your turntable is continually breaking down, as if some perpetual Technics power-down effect was causing all manner of primitive pitch-sliding antics to go haywire on those squelchy synth oscillations. The Demons side is rather different from their ace No Fun album and instead sounds like some hiss covered live recording of a garage rock band buried underneath some rubble. You'd expect this to be pretty grotesque sounding, but it's all so much filthier than you're likely to have bargained for.

Breathing Problem, which consists of Rusty Kelley and Emelia McKay, have created an album called “Bed of Sex, Pit of Tar” that is another example of why Austin’s noise/experimental scene is a force to be reckoned with. “Bed of Sex” is a very heavy album to listen to. It’s often unsettling, which is exactly what it sets out to be. The album works best at setting a mood, sucking listeners into its heavy atmosphere for the entire 59 minutes. It evokes the image of a city slowly being destroyed in a way that’s tragic, but impossible not to watch. The last few songs show the aftermath of the destruction, and the album’s final track acts as the credits to the spectacle.
