Scream & Writhe presents Initial Shock Gig #8

THE NAUSEA (BC)
https://absurdexposition.bandcamp.com/album/requiem
Weaving funerary violin with harsh noise and pushing it into the beyond, The Nausea returns to Montreal after a formidable appearance at Initial Shock 2024.

MAGNETIC CORONER (NY)
https://soundcloud.com/mcmc2017
One half of Form Hunter (seen at Initial Shock 2023) and known to operate under the alter egos of Sunken Cheek and Goddaughter, Magnetic Corner makes its Montreal return after 7 years. Expect a solid course of roughed up, distorted and blown out tape manipulation.

TOANCHE DWELLING (ON)
https://absurdexposition.bandcamp.com/album/hyleidos
Last seen at Initial Shock 2023, Toanche Dwelling exists in a crude realm of lo-fi murkiness and intrigue.

CATHOLIC SKIN
https://fourenclosedwallscatholicstare.bandcamp.com
https://skinnoise.bandcamp.com
A collaboration between locals Catholic Stare (Disaster Sources label, co-organizer of Initial Shock) and Skin (Initial Shock 2024).

TH6Ø
