DEATH FACTORY / K2 Split CS

$9.63

NEW CASSETTE

After striking up an occasional penpalship several years ago, Michael Krause of DEATH FACTORY (likely inadvertently) planted the seed of doing a split release with the legendary Shizuoka, Japan noise crusher Kimihide Kusafuke, better known as K2. Of course, the opportunity could not be passed up and we jumped right on it! At first, Kimkihide said it would be a few months for him to send some material, but only a few days later he laid the sickest half-hour of sonic obliteration on us, a mash-up culled from recordings of real-time live performances from 2018 and 2023. The DEATH FACTORY material that precedes it is a brand new piece, recorded in the midst of summer 2024 sessions for what has just recently become the new album ‘Panchromatic Resonance’ on Dubuque, IA label Breaching Static, and a 2015 recording lifted from a very limited edition six-way split on Placenta Recordings, mastered by Mark Shippy of U.S. MAPLE.”
