Dive into the second chapter of uncompromising sonic exploration with Metal Machine Music: Power to Consume, Vol. 2, a Record Store Day 2026 exclusive release. Although this may be the final edition (or is it?) of the Metal Machine Music: Power to Consume series, these artists and their accompanying auditory hallucinations are a proclamation that noise, industrial and experimental sounds, as well as the spirit of Lou Reed, continue to build upon themselves and are infinite. This time around, the purveyors of maximalist sounds are even more diverse featuring: Merzbow, Masonna, Pod Blotz, Lydia Lunch, Blixa Bargeld, Eros, Martin Rev, Moonbeam Terrorand Emil Beaulieau (of RRRecords)!
