Pig Heart Transplant / The Endless Blockade - Split 7"

Here we have the final release from The Endless Blockade and one of probably many more from the prolific Pig Heart Transplant. A great pairing of noise meets power violence and a rare case of a split having two decent sides. Limited to 545 copies courtesy of SuperFi Records. Comes in an amazing 6 panel screened sleeve with artwork by Feeding.

PHTV - Vaccuum Redux 7"

This is Vaccuum's 5 track 7" getting a reworking by Pig Heart Transplant. The original songs were noisy as hell and being filtered through PHT has made them even more fucked (in a good way). Even better than the originals. Get it from RFL Records.

Pig Heart Transplant / Blue Sabbath Black Cheer - Split 7"

This split was released a few years ago by Epicene in an edition of 300 copies. I managed to find one rotting away in a distro, as of this posting there is still some left so go here if interested. Each band lays down 1 song of menacing noise/power electronics. The Pig Heart Transplant song was on the cd version of Hope You Enjoy Heaven but not the vinyl version so I suppose that's why it ended up on this split. The packaging is about as minimal as it gets with blank labels and a one sided front sleeve with no info apart from the band names on the obi-strip. A collaboration/split 3xLP between these 2 groups is coming out later this year, should be an interesting release.

Iron Lung Mixtape I

Iron Lung Records recently put together this mixtape of bands and friends of the label, 20 bands with 1 unreleased track each. Like any good mixtape this has a really diverse collection of songs on it. The stand outs for me are the tracks from Slices, Solutions, Cold Sweat, Walls and Mind Eraser but if you've been reading this blog for a while that would come as no surprise. This was worth buying for the unreleased Cold Sweat track alone, it's a live recording of them covering Black Flag's "I've Heard It Before". Of course the Iron Lung track rules but at 15 seconds long you could almost miss it if you weren't paying attention.

Iron Lung Records have a stack of new releases coming out that I can't wait to hear. Unfortunately if you haven't already got this one, you missed out. All 500 copies sold out pretty quick. You can of course listen to the whole tape below or download from Terminal Escape.

Pig Heart Transplant - They Eat What We Eat 7"

Here's the latest release from Pig Heart Transplant. This one's been put out by Rescued From Life Records limited to 300 all on black vinyl. It came in a variety of different coloured sleeves with the white one being the rarest and limited to only 36. I feel kinda disgusted in myself sometimes for getting sucked into the collector side of records. It's just a different piece of paper for fucks sake but a part of my brain likes the fact that only 36 people in the world have this limited piece of paper.

Pig Heart Transplant / Juhyo - Split 7"

Here's a new record from noise makers Pig Heart Transplant. This ones a split with another noise band called Juhyo, whom I've never heard of before but their side was pretty good too. Really nice hand screened packaging designed by Feeding. Released by Hear More Records and limited to 300 hand numbered copies. You can still buy it here, but be quick.

Pig Heart Transplant - Hope You Enjoy Heaven LP +7"

Pig Heart Transplant is an Industrial/Noise/Power Electronics project masterminded by Jon Kortland of Iron Lung. A lot of their releases are on really limited cassettes and impossible to get a hold of. This came out last year on What We Do Is Secret Records and was limited to 200 copies. If you're a fan of Bastard Noise, Swans that sort of thing then you'll like this. Sick shit!

Public Humiliation

Iron Lung / Walls / Pig Heart Transplant - Public Humiliation
I was very happy to find this waiting on my doorstep when I got home today. It's a live collaboration with all 3 bands playing at the same time. Man I would have loved to have been at this show. At least I got the record. There were 500 pressed on Iron Lung Records but they're all sold out. Apparently there's a second press in the works.
