2011-12-13T01:10:00.000-08:00

Satansound is a thing I'll be posting soundsamples etc. on, and MAYBE someday I might even put out a physical release. A new Haare track up now, along with a sample of some Kosmische horror (excerpt from a ca.40 minute track). Check it out.

2011-11-17T01:50:00.000-08:00

Recordings done for a new project, looking for interested labels...in the same vein as old Golden vomit recordings but even more minimal. Heavy, static, warm, fuzzy and cosmic...Psychedelic HNW?

Pure darkness with no aggression from the Finnish psychedelic noise-drone master, Haare. Beautifully old-skool maneuver with circular-saw-tamburas and feedbacking plastic mics. Soundtrack to these here dark days in the endless tunnel of relentless emotional stabbing with little release but to 4-track. If you went to this tape’s funeral you’d come home with no eyes, but with the ability to see without any. -TA “Digging this shiiiiiiiiiit! Super dark! This sound was in my brain when I started Sick Head.” - RS

I have copies available now.
Finland 5.50e, Europe 6.50e, ROW 7.50e.
Includes priority shipping inside the EU, Economy shipping for the rest of the world.

From Crucialblast.net:

ILKKA VEKKA Death Psychedelia: The Artwork Of Ilkka Vekka CHAPBOOK
BLAZE11

A limited edition chapbook featuring the surreal collage art, psychedelic death visions, and Technicolor hallucinations of Finnish artist Ilkka Vekka, who is also known within the underground noise/industrial realm for his work in the band Haare.

From Ikuisuus:
Split tape with Finland's notorious Witch Christ...Haare track is called "The Crowning of the shadow" and it's a 30-minute crawl through a muddy acid hell ritual. Or something.

From Prison tatt records:
A 1-sided 12" featuring another "collaboration" (ie. me using a few samples but mostly my own recordings, like on Madon evankeliumi.) I won't let the cat out of the bag just yet as this will still take some time to come out, it will be limited to a mere 100 copies and because of the co-conspirator, this will probably sell out in a day or so...

2011-02-06T23:57:00.000-08:00

"Incredible new 7" of two sides of Expert Psychedelic Harsh Noise from the Finnish giant! Colour Covers. Black Vinyl. 200 copies."

2011-01-14T03:18:00.000-08:00

Doomsday sunrise tapes arrived today. 8,50 euros (including shipping) inside the EU.
11,50 for ROW (sorry about that...but this goes JUST over the 100 gram limit so shipping ROW costs 5.20e. Probably cheaper for overseas folks to buy straight from Cathartic process, check the link below.)
Email and/or Paypal ilkka.vekka(AT)gmail.com

Maybe best to email first as I only have TWELVE copies for sale.

Haare = Psychedelic noise from Finland.
This blog is an attempt to have at least some information available on the web.

Samples from older releases can be downloaded from
http://music.download.com/haare/

Editors review:
"Haare creates the soundtrack to the next electronic apocalypse. Windswept, slow-motion drones combine with static feedback to paint a bleak interior landscape. This is experimental nastiness taken to illogical extremes, not for the timid but highly recommended."

Some new reviews:
Psychedelic funeral tape (Abisko)

The Temple was Julian Cope's Album of the month in August!

I think that's it for now; hope I'll get this blog up & running soon-ish, with regular updates etc...

Best,
