Comments:

One of the earliest Merzbow cds to recieve wide release in America, Venereology was heavily marketed to the underground metal scene as "extreme noise" by Relapse Records, who had recently created a sub-label for experimental music called Release. The album is Merzbow's take on death metal. It's both an exceptionally brutal release and relatively easy to find. Recommended.
