Does he have any album worth digging into?
I sure want something else than one hour of boring wall pulse demon noise

This too, another collab between him and Boris. Also try Lop Lop, which is a solo record. Really nice textures.
Gavin Perez
venerology is pulse demon except not looped garbage
Camden Jenkins
Not a Merzbow expert but I'd recommend 1930
Wyatt Carter
Sha Mo 3000 is worth checking out, there is some pretty interesting sampling. It was in a sharethread not too long ago

One of Merz best tracks
Gabriel Hill
his collab with full of hell is pretty great if grindcore is you're thing.
Nicholas Flores
This one is great. It have some beats so it's more easy to listen.
Also, his collaboration with Alec Empire is great. It's a live album with drums.
Nathan Morales
Tauromachine was the first Merz album that clicked for me. Very bassy. Merzbuddha is similar and even heavier.
His collabs are fun too, see
Michael Perez
Merzbuddha is great. I truly think that is music made for meditation.
Christopher Powell
Agreed. On the flipside, I really like Flare Gun as a pure noise album. Short, focused and cathartic.

I'll check it right now
Gabriel Carter
I've heard the Boris collab but not the other two. Good shit.

What do you think about Merzbow or noise in general?
I think that we process information only if it have some kind of shape: a word, a geometric figure, etc., and with noise music we can put our brains to rest. There is nothing to process, there is nothing to be think. It's like it turns your brain off.
Aiden Hill
I get what you mean. Personally, noise is a visceral experience but that doesn't mean there's nothing to process. Some noise artists like Aube or Kevin Drumm are definitely more cerebral and require, or rather, reward more active listening. And even the more chaotic noise releases tend to have some sort of "concept" binding it together to impress a vibe or even a narrative on the listener. I definitely love music that hits me on a primal level but the noise I like does aim a bit higher than caveman-like banging and screaming, if that makes sense.
