Cold Spring is proud to present a unique collaboration between industrial breakbeat pioneers Meat Beat Manifesto (Jack Dangers) and the undisputed king of Japanese noise, Merzbow (Masami Akita). Extinct, set for release on 26 April, sees the duo take listeners on a transcendental journey, focusing on the dismantling of beat and structure and recycling the result through layers of beautifully crafted noise and feedback loops, giving birth to new rhythms buried deep in the dirt.

A second video from the album for an edited version of the 16-minute "Burner" is now out. The full-length track takes the record to its ultimate conclusion, the initial drum beat broken down so that it is barely recognisable. Pulsating distortion and high-end audio fragments bleed into each other as the track lumbers forth and destroys everything on its path before slowly unravelling, degrading and falling apart.

The 20-minute opener, "¡FLAKKA!" takes constantly evolving breakbeats gradually broken down over time, driven through a filter of harsh noise, destroying the old to give birth to the new. Raw and unforgiving, the track is a behemoth that blends mutant forms of broken beats and hints of dub, creating rhythmic noise of the highest calibre in the process.

A harrowing yet somewhat cathartic trip through walls of harsh industrial noise and audio degradation, Extinct is a masterful pairing of artists who have delivered something truly unique yet totally relevant. Don't sleep on this one!
