Cuts of Guilt Cuts Deeper

2015 two CD release. How did renowned Japanese noisemaker Merzbow (aka Masami Akita), Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and Hungarian drummer Balazs Pandi follow up their majorly intense statement made on their tumultuous 2013 album, Cuts? By adding another ingredient to the volatile mix - shrinking guitar hero and Sonic Youth founder Thurston Moore. With this new addition, they've taken things up a notch or two on the Richter scale. With Gustaffson's roaring baritone sax blending with Moore's shriekback guitar, Pandi's intensely throbbing beats and Merzbow's subversive white noise barrages, it all adds up to a sonic pummeling of epic proportions on this remarkable release.
