Metal Machine Music - Power To Consume Vol. 2 (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Lou Reed's 1975 double LP of pure guitar feedback and noise remains one of the most polarizing documents in rock history, inspiring generations of artists who heard in its relentless drone not provocation but possibility. This second volume draws from that same well, gathering figures whose careers have been defined by pushing sound past its conventional limits: Merzbow and Masonna as titans of Japanese noise, Martin Rev as a Suicide co-founder who helped wire punk and electronics together, Lydia Lunch and Blixa Bargeld as downtown New York and post-punk icons, respectively.
Dive into the second chapter of uncompromising sonic exploration with Metal Machine Music: Power to Consume, Vol. 2, a Record Store Day 2026 exclusive release. 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)!
