Comments:	Contributor Jouni Luoma says: The Merzbow track is recorded in ZSF PRODUKT studio in 1994 (same place and time as Venereology), and I believe this track is from the same sessions where Venereology was also recorded, because it sounds exactly like that album: Merzbow's take on death metal. Brutal, harsh, dense, heavy noise. Analog. The Aural Torture Mechanism tracks are a bit more "musical", with some guitar feedback and samples, but it's mostly rather harsh noise as well (definitely inspired by Merzbow). There are two inserts included in the release, I took images of the sides having to do with Merzbow. Special thanks to Jouni Luoma for submitting this information and taking the time to photograph this release.
