About
Merzbow and The Haters represent two significant forces in noise and experimental music. Merzbow, the Japanese noise pioneer, is known for maximalist sonic assaults and prolific output across multiple formats. The Haters, an American noise duo, create abrasive, confrontational soundscapes. Their 1987 split cassette on Banned Production documents an early collaboration between these influential underground artists, exemplifying the raw aesthetic of 1980s noise music culture.
