“It’s been exactly 50 years ago that Jost Gebers and I set up the first ‘anti-festival’ in Berlin. Things have changed, in the meantime stages have opened, ‘solidarity’ has advanced to a foreign word. Nowadays stages are opened so wide that all that bloodless and sexless academic garbage can be taken in and reproduced endlessly. To set an example – that’s what we are trying with these 3 NIGHTS OF MUSIC. To be not up to date in these times might not be such a wrong idea.” – Peter Brötzmann. 2 Oct 2019

 *** FROM THE RECENT REISSUES REVISIT “BASS TOTEM” FROM DER ABEND DER SCHWARZEN FOLKLORE  & “WIEGE” FROM KOKSOFEN 

Caspar Brötzmann is one of the most unique and innovative guitarists of the last 40 years. With his Berlin-based trio Massaker, he evolved a whole new autonomous approach to writing rock songs, starting from sounds that were widely considered ornamental if not detrimental ‘sonic waste’, such as shrieking feedback and droning overtones. This plethora of sounds were arranged into tracks to sound like breaking concrete, grinding metal, or bursting glass, at once monumental and threatening, impenetrable and hermetic, yet also archaically tender and loving.  Even today, as the art of noise has reached a level of sophistication that no one could have imagined 30 years ago, Caspar Brötzmann Massaker’s music is resoundingly singular. Ultra heavy riffs and beats, ominous tribal chants and a raw physical force is conjured up by these three sinister and proud minds of their era. Their unhinged, unified stream of energy is captured on these remastered reissues and the results are thrilling.
