Various - Metal Machine Music: Power To Consume Vol. 2 (RSD 2026, 2LP Vinyl)

Dive into the second chapter of uncompromising sonic exploration with Metal Machine Music: Power to Consume, Vol. 2, a Record Store Day 2026 exclusive Although this may be the final edition (or is it?) of the Metal Machine Music: Power to Consume series, these artists and their accompanying auditory hallucinations are a proclamation that noise, industrial and experimental sounds, as well as the spirit of Lou Reed, continue to build upon themselves and are infinite. This time around, the purveyors of maximalist sounds are even more diverse featuring: Merzbow, Masonna, Pod Blotz, Lydia Lunch, Blixa Bargeld, EROS, Martin Rev, Moonbeam Terror... and Emil Beaulieau (of RRRecords). Dive in ears first and play this loud! Inspired by Lou Reed's groundbreaking 1975 noise opus. This curated compilation assembles a formidable lineup of avant-garde artists pushing the boundaries of distortion, feedback, and raw electronic texture. Featuring contributions from Emil Beaulieau, Lydia Lunch, Moonbeam Terror, Eros, Blixa Bargeld, Pod Blutz, Martin Rev, Merzbow, and Masonna.
