Somatic Responses :: Glynnph EP (Photon Emissions) — [concise]
John Healy returns with a blistering five-track suite steeped in distortion, mechanical pressure, and digital disarray. From the ironclad march of the title track to the fractured geometries of “Monomat,” Healy sculpts a world of warped percussion, ambient debris, and glitch-ridden chaos.

Submerged :: Reparations Collected In Flesh (Ohm Resistance)
Kurt Gluck, aka Submerged, unleashes a raw, unflinching statement in Reparations Collected In Flesh—a cathartic journey through personal struggle and resilience.

Mind-bending, hypnotic, and absolutely essential—Weldroid delivers a sonic experience that is both brutal and beautiful, a rare immersion into sound and motion picture that demands attention and rewards surrender.
