Electronic\/industrial from Japan carries a particular lineage, from the noise artists of the early tape scene through to harder-edged club-adjacent darkness, and this sits somewhere in that tradition with its own warped logic. The kind of thing that makes sense at 2am in a poorly lit room, or in a record collection that already has Skinny Puppy and early Merzbow somewhere in the stack. Gothic and industrial aesthetics, filtered through a distinctly Japanese lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD, Japan press, 2008. Fans of: electronic industrial, ritual dark ambient, Japanese noise-adjacent extremity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALT CVLT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45549594116287,"sku":"236387","price":19.66,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/3633\/0175\/files\/original_bb039a65-c172-418e-9b38-0fd090ef1896.jpg?v=1777056838","url":"https:\/\/www.alt-cvlt.com.au\/products\/baal-religion-616-2008-cd","provider":"ALT CVLT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
