Release of January 2017.
Comes as digipak, limited edition of 500 copies.

Rather unusual album if you know Merzbow by his trademark wall of pure noise. Recorded back in 1983 Escape Mask reveals us well hidden side of Masami Akita. Psychedelic atonal guitar-driven noise, samples, technoid drum machine patterns and even some inclusions of vocals all together evoke sweet memories of Throbbing Gristle or early SPK. Originally released as C-60 cassette (zsfm-010) on ZSF Produkt, Japan and digitally re-mastered from original cassette in july 2012 at Munemihouse, Tokyo.
A must have for all true industrial/noise freaks as well as drone-metal youngsters.
