Japanese Noise Legend Merzbow Mutilates Mortiis on Latest Single

JAPANESE NOISE LEGEND MERZBOW MUTILATES MORTIIS ON LATEST SINGLE

OSLO - The latest single from Mortiis’ The Great Corrupter album comes courtesy of the Japanese dark ambient-noise artist Merzbow, who twists “Bleed Like You” into a completely new form.

“This is not a remix - it´s abuse,” said Mortiis. “The good kind. If you prefer your music traditional, and your audio all pleasant and polished, you should consider walking away now. It is Merzbow mutilating Mortiis. I never really thought that that was going happen, and I don´t think anyone else did either!” Much like his own original recordings, Merzbow’s interpretation of “Bleed Like You” is an instrumental attack on the senses. In addition to a lengthy list of recordings, the highly-respected, prolific artist is also a respected writer who has dabbled in various other art mediums. “We've been trying to think a bit different art-wise for the last few singles,” said Mortiis. “I thought the time was right to try art directions that were not typical of Mortiis to take. The Merzbow remix single art is another idea I've had for a long time. As usual, it's morphed from the original idea, into a different beast almost entirely, in time. But what else is new?”
