R.I.P. Pierpaolo Zoppo/Mauthausen Orchestra!
R.I.P. to Pierpaolo Zoppo/Mauthausen Orchestra
*I just found out that Mauthausen Orchestra died recently and the "Under Control" 7" record on Placenta Recordings was his final album! I am honored and sad. R.I.P. Pierpaolo Zoppo, I am proud to have worked with him! I am a huge fan and supporter of Mauthausen Orchestra and we were working together very well. He even got his request of transparent blue vinyl. Shame on everyone who doubted us. We released the FINAL recordings of Mauthausen Orchestra, and we are proud to have worked with such a legend. R.I.P. Pierpaolo Zoppo, my friend and a huge inspiration to many.*
Mauthausen Orchestra - Under Control 7"
(Placenta Recordings #200 - 2012)
Side A - Under Control
Side B - Edge Of No Control
Mauthausen Orchestra
"One of the early Italian power-electronics projects, Mauthausen Orchestra, in the person of Pierpaolo Zoppo, started in 1982, releasing tapes on his own label Aquilifer Sodality. His work explored morbid subjects, usually extreme sex, perversion, tortures and disease, and the sound was a brutal collage of noise, electronics distortions and inhuman vocals. Mauthausen Orchestra stopped in 1986, some recordings from 1988 were published ten years later by Xn Recordings. In 1997 Zoppo resurrected the project and released some new material, while a series of reissues of the early cassettes was published by Slaughter Productions. "

Here is a review of the album from Crucial Blast Records:
MAUTHAUSEN ORCHESTRA Under Control 7" VINYL (Placenta Recordings)
"One of the key figures of the Italian post-industrial scene, Pierpaolo Zoppo (aka Mauthausen Orchestra) died suddenly in early 2012, leaving behind a body of work that includes some of the most diseased and evil-sounding electronic music ever. While his more recent recordings tended to be a bit hit and miss in terms of , I've still followed his work over the years and was bummed to hear that he had died this past spring. Apparently the last thing that Zoppo had been working on releasing prior to his death was this 7" for Placenta, the two-song Under Control7", and its one of the better of his later recordings. Housed in a white jacket with the sort of morbid, cadaverous imagery that adorned his classic Necrofellatio and Murderfuck cassettes, Under Control features two tracks of writhing industrial creep.
The a-side bursts like a blister as "Under Control" pours forth in an oozing mess of flanged distortion and thumping low-end noise, the extreme low frequencies creating a strange fluttering effect as the speakers reverberate with the whump of Zoppo's synth. Like a lot of his later material, this is more of an abstract noisescape than the rotting, evil death industrial primitivism of his iconic 80's output, but it's still plenty bleak, a macro-view of collapsing machinery and diseased circuit-boards, revealing the vaguest hints of musicality in the strange descending note patterns that emerge in the final throes of the track.
"Edge Of No Control" slowly drifts in on a wave of warped, atonal synth notes and buzzing distortion, this amorphous mass sounding like some ectoplasmic residue from a carnival freaktent, as Zoppo slowly introduces additional layers of warbling synth notes, clusters of misshapen melody that later drop in and out as the track evolves into an expanse of rumbling noise and creepy minor key melodies take shape, eventually turning into an alien sort of church music. Limited to two hundred fifty copies."

*I had to post this on the Noise Fanatics Forum after I found out people were trash talking Placenta Recordings, quoting this album was a "fake", which as the above photos of the original masters + envelope with dates and our e-mails back and forth with dates"
Ok I just saw posts here, and you owe myself and the spirit of Pierpaolo Zoppo an extreme apology, I have all of the e-mails and photos of the masters he mailed me from Torino just before his death! I am a huge fan and supporter of Mauthausen Orchestra and we were working together very well. He even got his request of transparent blue vinyl. Shame on everyone who doubted us. We released the FINAL recordings of Mauthausen Orchestra, and we are proud to have worked with such a legend. R.I.P. Pierpaolo Zoppo, my friend and a huge inspiration to many.

Placenta Recordings - End Of The Year Newsletter - 2012
Placenta Recordings - End Of The Year Newsletter - 2012
2012 has been a whirlwind of activity for the Placenta Recordings family! I want to start out by giving my sincere appreciation, love, and respect for everyone who represents and supports PR, big to small.
This year marked a number of historical happenings, including our 200th release, the addition of such legendary acts to our roster as Merzbow, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Mauthausen Orchestra, Black Mayonnaise, Chulo, Tumor Ganas, Hemorragia, K2, Alienslang, and tons more, with our intention to release a massive amount of obscure and diverse music from an extensive international community, working with artists from such lands as Iran, Mexico, Japan, Spain, France, Colombia, Ecuador, United Kingdom, Italy, Russia, U.S.A., Germany, Indonesia, Serbia, Greece, and tons of other amazing countries. We have shipped packages to each corner of the earth over the last 12 months (and of course the last 7 years) reaching all of these places and more! We even accept paypal now and introduced our first Italian Skate Punk, American Hip Hop, and Iranian Black Metal albums into the catalog. Diversity is key.
We have continued on our tradition to form solid and unique connections all over the planet this year, teaming up with our friend's companies Pirates Press, BSharp Productions, Grindcore Karaoke, Halfway House, Mannequin Rein Distro, Lion Cool Man, Crucial Blast Records, Decibel Magazine, Studio Anatomy, Trashfuck Records, Ratskin Records, Love Earth Music, Norcal Noisefest, Northern Express, Sirona Records, Blue In The Face, WNMC FM Traverse City, Rachel Viola, S.S., Sean Barry, Brain Rape Fanzine, Psycho+Logical Records (yes, we even did an interview with Brooklyn, NYC rapper/producer Necro) and a number of different art galleries, studios, radio stations, websites, and venues to bring more exposure, networking, information, performances and merchandise out in the open!
Our operation has continued to expand from music, art, and events into producing magazines, film, pornography, interviews, reviews, radio broadcasts, recordings, t-shirts, stickers, buttons, merchandise distribution, importing, exporting, design, promotion, and whatever else we can get our paws into! We have PR shirts available, featuring a huge picture of my cat/PR mascot “Rostov”, which are moving fast and we are finally to the point of releasing 7" & 12" vinyl on our own & with co-releasers and continuously releasing CD, CD-R, DVD, Cassette, and Digital Downloads on a much more regular basis.
People are really spreading the word of PR, this year has by far received the highest volume of orders, demo submissions, support, and interest. 2012 was also responsible for our largest amount of releases put out in a year, including Crochetcatpause "Cool Teeth", Kawabata Makoto/Acid Mothers Temple vs. Dental Work "Lemonade Station Destruction 25" (CD Re-Issue), Mauthausen Orchestra "Under Control" (7"), Merzbow "Samidara" (12“), Chulo/Tumor Ganas “Third World Nightmare” (CD), Alienslang “Hall Of Tongues” (CD), Mama Baer & Kommissar Hjuler “Zhan - Polizei” (CD-R), xPUSx “Giussago” (Cassette), K2 “Made In Erehwon Box Set (CD-R), Faction Disaster + Bruxism “Split” (CD), Tropical Painforest + tooth_eye - “Split” (CD) Hemorragia “Demo” (CD-R), To Die + HolidayxSuckers - “Split” (CD-R), Thesonnybono - “Ndrame Luminose” (CD-R), Barbeque “Growth” (Cassette), Merciless Precision + Toecutter HC - “Noise For Fucks Sake” (7”), Dental Work + Ecoute La Merde + Fistule Davai “Split” (CD-R), I.M.d.P. “La Sua Gamba” (CD), Corot Ghost “Changes” (CD-R), Bagman & Vulgar Disease “Mary Bell/Los Poquianchis” (CD-R), Pollux “Optical” (Digital Video Collection), Right Eye Rita “The WTCH on The WZRD” (CD), Otomo Hava “Encephalomyopathy”, Venta Protesix “Erotic Dreams Of A Young Slut With An Amputated Leg” (CD Re-Issue), Medicine Mouth “Wild Wild Midwest” (CD-R),Arvo Zylo, Dental Work, Mama Baer & Kommissar Hjuler, Vicious Institute, and Zeid Bin-Zubala “2012 - The Truth” (CD-R) Dental Work “Seraphine Diary” (CD) Raven “Anima Mundi” (CD-R), Harem “Issue #1” (Magazine/CDr) Pig Shrapnel + Fist Taker “Hambeast” (CD-R) God Pussy, Torturing Nurse, & Richard Ramirez “Death Of A Memory” (CD) and many more which are all available through our online mail order catalog!
Press has been good for PR this year also. Decibel Magazine featured articles about Placenta Recordings 4 times over the course of the year, in one issue labeling us as "Label Of The Month Part 2" and spot lighting us in the "Debutante’s Ball" article in issue #95! A popular German review site known as “Kulturterrorismus.de” has been running an ongoing special on PR releases and an interview with Dental Work, which are available to read on their site. Other press who featured our releases this year include: Vital Weekly (Netherlands), The Big Takeover (Sacremento, CA), and Brain Rape fanzine (Lansing, MI) who did a multi-page re-cap of PR’s no holds barred version of Woodstock: “Mental Spaghetti Fest (#3)”, which I will tell you about now.
Our crew managed to take over a northern Michigan compound known as "The Property" to hold an annual celebration of freedom, music and art known as "Mental Spaghetti Fest #3", bringing such diverse acts as Right Eye Rita, Crochetcatpause, Bruxism, Dental Work, Medicinal Groove, Bubblegum Octopus, Eprom Colony, Selector Catalog, Kevin Summers, Watabou, Faction Disaster, RedSK, Kessenchu, Barbeque, Medicine Mouth, Flylingual Sound Poet, Amigo, Consumption, All Odds Against, Lady Cumdumpster, Swallow Or It’s Going In Your Eye, Pep-Step, Ein Sof Goyle, Fluff, Jimmy Olson, Rory Johnson, Total Hipster Crusher, and many more. A data disc compilation was released after the event containing 16 full live sets and a billion digital photos from the event This will become a tradition every year now! Thanks to Patrick Doyle for being our official audio bootleger, and thanks to EVERYONE who made this event possible!
Our artists have been infecting various live music scenes across the country and globe, every time I check online I am seeing our artists playing shows from Oakland, CA to Tokyo, Japan, with strong footholds in Detroit, MI, Chicago, IL, New York City, NY, Minneapolis, MN, Denver, CO, Sacramento, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Bogota, Colombia, all over Europe, Asia, and North/Central/South America! My 2012 flier collection is HUGE! Man there were some great shows this year! Code Name: Dracula, Norcal Noisefest 16, the Crank Sturgeon/Styrofoam Sanchez tour, Art.Audio.Angst. 5, the infamous Chicago show where William Sides Atari Party disguised himself as Dental Work and played the first ever DW cover band scenario, the K2 IS OK party, Michigan Grindfest 2, Pop Your Cherry Fest, Dental Work’s B-Day show, Romperprop, Chulo, & Rotten Bitch in Bogota, Black Mass Sunday’s, and tons of others! great times fam!
Our "subsidiary companies" have also received a nice boost this year, our official modeling team "HAREM" is reaching an online cult status since the birth of it's own website, we have added over a dozen new models including Bronze Jones, Laura Maier, Brionna Mix, Lucy Aguilar, Michelle Shears, Luna Seraphine, and more! We released our first issue, and are now working on HAREM #2! Kittendorf Piezo Co. unleashed their 2nd model of contact microphones, and are officially sponsoring Dental Work with the use of the KPC Rechteck Modulator. Snitch Carnitas Russian Imports is hard at work on the bootleg scene, and are about to drop the “Made In Lebanon” Box Set and various cassette releases by Thug Bites and Fattoush Douche.
All in all, 2012 has been fucking insane, and I can't wait to see what 2013 will offer! I know we are all looking forward to Mental Spaghetti Fest #4 next August 16, 17, and 18th which will feature CRANK STURGEON as one of our headliners, and the Agoraphobic Nosebleed/Dental Work collaborative 12" LP, the Bubblegum Octopus 12” LP, the Archagathus/Jeffrey Dahmer - Mincecrusher 7" EP, the Agothocles/Hogra - Split 7", the Cock E.S.P./Dental Work "Heart Attacks & Plane Crahses" Split 12" LP, the Acid Mothers Temple - 12" LP, the Crochetcatpause 7” + DVD + Zine, the SMG/Terlarang - Split 10", the Ro So Matix And Egogod - “String Killer” CD, the Praying For Oblivion + Flutwacht “Collaboartion” CD, the Winters In Osaka/Owwl - “Split” CD, the long awaited Watabou full length CD, and of course new albums by Passenger Of Shit, DJ Rainbow Ejaculation, Vomir, Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck, The Haters, Eprom Colony, Sid Yiddish, RedSK, Dental Work, Rubber O Cement, Hiroshi Hasegawa, Dead Church, Industria Masoquista, Maurizio Bianchi, Murder Junkies, Scissor Shock, Striations, Tasuketekun, Total Hipster Crusher, Detroit Dad, Mummifier, Heartworm, Liver Cancer, Instagon, Xrin Arms, Drill Scare, Intercamalemelont, Dogwater, Aterpe, Lost Appeal, Bear Trap, Stiverson, DJ Embryonic Petit Sac, Otomo Hava, Rotten Bitch, Torturing Nurse, Orgasm Denial, Chulo, Mustafio, Vans La Furka, and hundreds more!!!

The name "Merzbow" comes from German artist Kurt Schwitters' artwork, "Merzbau". This was chosen to reflect Akita's dada influence and junk artaesthetic. In addition to this, Akita has cited a wide range of influences from progressive rock, free jazz, modern classical and musique concrète. More recently, he has been inspired by animals, animal rights, and environmentalism.
As well as being a prolific musician, he has been a writer and editor for several books and magazines in Japan, and has written 17 books of his own. He has written about a variety of subjects, mostly about art, avant-garde, and post-modern culture. His more renowned works have been on the topics of BDSM and fetish culture. Other art forms Akita has been interested in include painting, photography, filmmaking, and Butoh dance.
Akita's work has been the subject of several remix albums and at least one tribute album. This, among other achievements, has helped Merzbow to be regarded by some as the "most important artist in noise"

"There's a censored dong above my head. Caleb is shouting at said dong. Travis and Christine pretend to not notice. Vince can't believe he's dealing with this shit, he's the sheriff 'round these parts and justice must be had. Rita calls out to everyone and swears, that just beyond Justin's half clothed body, she's seen an ice cream covered man grinning next to a, naked torso vomiting sand with three heads. People don't believe her though, and they huddle around the prophet, Jay, who assures them that there is no such thing and they can rest easy at Mental Spaghetti.
Later, the sounds of drums shake the clouds in heaven, and the real Jay falls from the sky, a crossdressing angel, covered in feather boas and waterproof material. The other Jay was an imposter and god is dead. We could have been saved, if only we had NOT EATEN THOSE FUCKING MILKDUDS.

This is the 3rd edition of this release, fully remastered with all new original artwork.

--------------------------
Here's the lineup:
Aaron Gross (Detroit, MI) [http://soundcloud.com/ aarongross]
Aaron Gross is a 'ghoulish' riot grrrl inspired noise punk band formed in 2011.
Since then, they've been wreaking havoc across metro Detroit.
You'll be transported to a place of angst and pure punx.
Allison Hetter (Ann Arbor, MI)
Allison Hetter is a Michigan-based artist who studied at UArts and SAIC.
Her work/background is in fibers/textiles, printmaking, painting, drawing, fashion and any combination of the aforementioned.
With her love of old grindhouse movies, the bizarre and feminist ideals she aims to make something outside of the box of "Burlesque".
In her debut performance, she will make a bloody good mess on stage.
Aparition (Ypsilanti, MI) [http:// aparition.bandcamp.com/]
Aparition's sinuous, crepuscular music exists in the shadows cast by classic IDM and electronica.
With album releases on Aural Sects and Raveyard, Aparition navigates between spectral, hallucinatory synth-pop and shoegaze, and brutal, bone-shredding industrial beats and noise.
Bubblegum Octopus (Verona, NJ) [http://soundcloud.com/ bubblegum-octopus]
Bubblegum Octopus is a frantic, progressive hybrid of bouncy, cutesy pico-pico and synth-pop, grinding and noisey freakouts, 8 and 16-bit video game style electronics, touches of dance music, and IDM/breakcore style percussion mutilation.
Ordinarily one man having a colorful, musical panic attack, the project will be aided by a drummer and guitarist, marking the first (and possibly last) time the project will exist as a "band".
Crochetcatpause (Detroit, MI) [https://www.facebook.com/ crochetcatpause]
Crochetcatpause is an electro janky junk punk act from metropolitan Detroit, MI.
Some people don’t like to get to close to them when they perform because their swagger is a little unconventional, but those who do usually have a good time.
Dead Church (Detroit, MI) [http:// www.dead-church.com/]
Started in the early cycles of 2012; Drawing influences from everything from Grindcore, Power Violence, Death Metal, Hardcore and beyond - Dead Church is the embodiment of hatred in the musical form.
Featuring ex and current members of Rose Funeral, Sender Receiver and Signs of Hope.
Dental Work (Traverse City, MI) [http:// dentalworknoise.blogspot/]
Dental Work is an avant-garde sound & performance art manipulation project by Jay Watson, based out of Traverse City, MI with roots in Detroit, Chicago, Denver, and Oakland, CA.
The music is a rare blend of musique concrete, extreme psychedelia, anxiety, experimental, harsh noise, tape manipulations, glitch, grindcore, turntable-ism, sound collage, found sounds, avant-garde, and outsider trash art.
Michael Mars & the God Particle (Detroit, MI) [https://www.facebook.com/ pages/ Michael-Mars-and-The-God-Pa rticle/436460223055069]
In the beginning there was darkness.
From this darkness an idea was born.
Within an instant upon thinking of this idea, there was a flash. Bang!!!
Within this flash there came light, (but still some darkness was present).
An idea of sound, a new way.
From these submatronic particles a band materialized...
Nikola Whallon (Ann Arbor, MI) [http:// www.nikolawhallon.com/]
In the year 199x, Nikola was born of two dragons into the age of the SNES. His love of SNES, N64, and Gameboy music would have such a great impact on the child's life that when he came of age, these feelings of love and nostalgia would fuse and give birth to music that has the power to bring out the child in anyone.
From classic video game music to modern pop, his Gameboy knows no bounds, and loves to party on the dance floor.
Tell All Your Friends! (Detroit, MI) [http://www.youtube.com/ user/tayfband]
Tell All Your Friends! is the drunk, disorderly, orderly, thrash, pop, punk rock.
Guitar, bass, and drums.
Crack a beer and get rowdy!
Trabajabamos (Ann Arbor, MI) [https://www.facebook.com/ Trabajabamos]
Trabajabamos was forged completely at random as a part of the annual 'Mystery Band' extravaganza two years ago.
Miraculously, they're still thrilling audiences with their raw sexuality, uncontrollably danceable beats, and the most handsome drummer in the midwest. They'll make you want to quit your job and make a career of rocking out to their songs!
Ultra Death Men (Verona, NJ) [http:// ultradeathmen.bandcamp.com/]
Ultra Death Men began in 2008 as a four piece free jazz ensemble.
They slowly discarded the lack of structure after their reformation as a three piece, in favor of meticulous, high energy, proggy math-punk, lovingly tasteless no-wave dance jazz, and an abundance of compositional humor.
The band is three skinny, food-loving music teachers, playing five instruments.
As of this moment, the instruments have not expressed an opinion on food.
Watabou (Ann Arbor, MI) [http://soundcloud.com/ watabou]
Watabou is the solo electronic project from the mind of multi-instrumentalist Travis Jarosz.
With his blend of intelligence and raw power, Watabou aims to evoke the emotions of any audience to the utmost, be it through intensive melodies, driving rhythms, powerful words, or any other number of qualities attributed to the act.
