Extreme Techno Barbarians from Scotland: Looking back at Storm Records


We already showcased a "pantheon of terror" in past texts - the labels responsible for the rise of bloodthirsty Hardcore Techno noise in the 90s - and beyond.
Labels like Kotzaak, Napalm, Industrial Strength... but also "smaller ones" such as Surgeon 16 or "666" from Milwaukee...
Another one to add to this list is Storm Records from Scotland... only 7 releases, but this lesser number was the more influential.
Especially the DJ Freak releases set the mark in impure and nocturnal noise emissions at high frequency.
And then you got Nasenbluten, DJ Tron... and the rest of the gruesome gang.

How to best end this text? With a lovely poem, of course!

Fate whispers to the warrior, 'You can not withstand the storm.'
The warrior whispers back, 'I am the storm.'
