About
M. Finnkrieg & Henry Hektik & Thomas Sutter represent a collaborative project emerging from the late 1980s experimental and industrial underground music scene. Operating primarily through the Regicide Bureau label, the collective documented their work via the "Berlin Diary" cassette series, a multi-volume chronicle of studio sessions and sonic experimentation. Their releases, including volumes spanning from Victory Weapon One through D.O.R. and culminating in works like Hemline Anarchy Hits Paris, showcase a commitment to raw, unpolished documentation characteristic of the era's DIY industrial ethos. The project's aesthetic combines elements of noise, experimental composition, and conceptual art practices, with their cassette-based releases reflecting both the technological constraints and intentional lo-fi aesthetics prevalent in European underground music during this period. The dual release of Berlin Diary: Volume 2 on both Regicide Bureau and Deaf Eye suggests the project's circulation across multiple independent labels within the experimental music network. Their work remains significant within niche industrial and noise music communities as an example of collaborative, process-oriented experimentation from the late 1980s avant-garde underground.
