kato09 The darkness of this album along with its name is not nonsense, but has a lot to do with what you are going to find when you listen to it. A perfect ambience that gives you chills just trying to imagine what the "Black Crow Cyborg" coming towards you would be like. Two legends together on the same LP, you can't ask for more, LISTEN IT NOW! Favorite track: Part I: City Barbarism Melancholy.

𝒩𝑒𝓅𝒽𝓉𝒽𝑒𝒶 I’m a big Merzbow fan and I’ve only listened to some of Prurient’s material, so to hear that both experimental legends made a record together was an instant grab for me! This is quite easily one of the darkest sounding noise albums, as the walls of ambient noise clashing with these horror industrial sounds makes for a greatly disturbing experience. Hard to say why this is so cool in less than 500 characters, but I can say this is making me interested to get into Prurient’s deeper discog! Favorite track: Part I: City Barbarism Melancholy.

MERZILLA Crows & ravens are intelligent & gorgeous birds as are Merzbow & Prurient intelligent and gorgeous soundscape artists. This exhibits their sizzling, industrial rasp in exceptional form. Monolithic themes yet also contemplative. A must have for the subtle and crushing noise enthusiast. Favorite track: Part I: City Barbarism Melancholy.

Lorenzo Two of the most (if not the most in regards to Merzbow) legendary noise artists coming together for the first time to lay out two interconnected worlds in the form of tracks. Devastating at their farthest reach, with the expected challenges of each artist showing their marks in moments. Other moments are more subtle, as if contemplative of the dystopia that surrounds them. Wrapped together they mark an alternate timelines of complete decline.

TrollH A perfect mixture of all what we love from Prurient and Merzbow together... Just after a first listening, I absolutely loving it, i must spend more time to taste all the little secrets of this long-awaited great album!
That feeling when you want to eat a cheesy toast, but you get melted with 4 cheeses and you must drink the hot lava before bite! Favorite track: Part I: City Barbarism Melancholy.

Merzbow/Prurient 'Black Crows Cyborg' | Barbed Wire Swimming Pool splatter vinyl
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
The skylines of Tokyo and New York City are impenetrable. On the streets it is cold - the ravens have blocked out the sun. The barbed chicken wire that surrounds the cities wave scraps of plastic shreds of circuit boards like surrender flags. Ravens have become the society, they are now the rulers.

Black Crows Cyborg is the first collaboration from noise titans Merzbow and Prurient. With more than seven hundred releases between them, this LP finds new ways to traverse the empty cities and navigate the cylinders. These two side-length tracks of cryptic dissonance are underscored by the slightest hint of deconstructed computer synthesis and cyborg vocals.

Ravens remember actions from specific humans, and can warn them of impending danger - or choose not to. As the conspiracy of crows overwhelms mankind's encampment and integrates with the industrial leftovers, Black Crows Cyborg is the soundtrack for the overwhelming embrace under dark mechanical wings.

LP with super deluxe embossed cover with mini poster.

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce
