The new Cruel Symphonies Batch is live now:

Batch 9 from Cruel Symphonies

16/03/2022

New batch out Friday featuring nothing but heavy hitters. We're trying some exciting new things with this batch namely a beautiful 64 page professionally printed zine/album booklet for Sterile Garden and a classic style battle split between Belltone Su***de and THE IDE OF EARTH where each party blasts hard panned noise in the right and left channels creating a unique collaborative experience.
We are also very excited to be doing a run of 75 cassettes for Milat of Australia. Milat has been an exciting new project for me since I discovered them on Facebook in 2018 or so and was impressed by their awesome full band live performances to unassuming audiences of confused punks. Happy to release new music from them after the rough past two years or so they've had with the wild fires in Australia and COVID.
Also very excited to be working with two local noise artists who are no stranger in the scene: Machine Moon and God of Gaps. I've been seeing these two rip sets ever since I was a teenager. Both of these two artists deliver seriously heavy furious noise on their split that you won't want to miss.
And last but not least is Fresh Bait - Cold Isolation a relatively new project from Preston Weippert of many great projects such as Trust Collective, Of Feather and Bone, Volunteer Coroner. This album is great noise like you've come to love from Preston but with a focus on straight forward harsh jams.

I don't know how new of a development this is but Prime Ruin now has copies of some of our titles on their big cartel including the out of print split between K.P.G. and Witches of Malibu.

Proudly supporting Syracuse's fresh new noise label: Cruel Symphonies. A flurry of expert cuts in the most unique way that only Pensado can...
