about

First time on vinyl for this cult album from Japanese Noise / Death Industrial / junk noise group MOTHRA: Jun-ichi Takahashi (Screloma), Masahiko Okubo (Linekraft / Oozepus), Fumihiro Kojima, and Masahito Nozu.

Harsh noise, rhythmic death industrial and full of Industrial junk percussion, "Doom Engine" was created using gas tanks, iron plates, junk metal, heavy bass, distorted / screamed vocals, and psychedelic sound imagery.

For fans of: early Einsturzende Neubauten / early Test Dept, Kollaps, classic German Death Industrial, but with a distinct Japanese edge.

New artwork by RSJS. Ltd x 400 copies on 180gm vinyl in a 350gsm sleeve.

Reviews:

"A demanding listen, this cult album seeks to push boundaries... It's a harsh, discordant recording through and through, put together using a lot of non-standard instrumentation... it has a kind of dystopian feel to it, like the soundtrack to the end of civilisation. Perhaps more so now than on its original release... Some of the loudest, most ear-splitting elements of "Japanoise" are by default not designed to sound pleasant... [This] seeks to push boundaries and shows that the band is dedicated to their own, distinctive modus operandi... If you have a taste for unconventional, provocative noise projects then definitely check this out" (Trebuchet)

"Industrial style beats, harsh noises and power electronics... a decent amount of junk percussion and home made instruments while distorted screams and shots are also a very huge part of the recording... some influences of 80's era experimental and industrial are mixed in with a more modern brutality as well as a decent amount of rhythmic patterns.... The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover death, doom, darkness and violence themes. Mothra are a very great sounding mixture of death industrial and harsh noise" (8/10, DarkUndergroundMusicZine)
