Description

RELEASE DATE: 11/14/2025

Widely regarded as one of the most uncompromising works in experimental noise,Kevin Drumm‘sSheer Hellish Miasmais once again available on vinyl. First released on CD in 2002 on the original Mego label, the album remains a landmark in extreme electronic sound and is an essential and ferocious document of Drumm at his most inventive. The history of Drumm’sSheer Hellish Miasmais one of resilience to the twists of underground trends that have come and gone since its initial release. Using guitar, tape manipulation, microphones, pedals, analog synthesizers, and subtle computer processing,Sheer Hellish Miasmais an overwhelming experience: a sonic onslaught of storming feedback, fractured textures and an unrelenting energy. At once brutal and meticulously composed, the album offers a singular vision at the outermost edges of sound art. For seasoned noise veterans,Sheer Hellish Miasmaoffers a bracing soundscape filled with exquisitely abrasive textures and more than enough hidden detail to warrant repeated listening — a distinct voice in the increasingly same-sounding world of abstract electronic noise. For everyone else, Drumm’s journey through the noisy underworld is likely to inspire fear or, in an optimistic case, fearful admiration. Drumm’sSheer Hellish Miasmais an abstract noise classic with this 2LP reissue being an artefact of eternal power. Gatefold sleeve, gold pantone print. Includes hot foil stamping.
