"The renowned Japanese electronic maestro Merzbow (aka Masami Akita) joins forces with his fellow countryman Keiji Haino and Hungarian drummer Balazs Pandi on another example of extreme sonic experimentation in the form of An Untroublesome Defencelessness. Merzbow and Pandi, who have been playing together since 2009 and previously collaborated on two RareNoise Records releases -- 2013’s Cuts (with Swedish free jazz saxophonist Mats Gustafsson) and 2015’s Cuts of Guilt, Cuts Deeper (with Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore) -- push the envelope once again with improv singer and noise guitarist Haino. The resulting sound is a relentlessly intense cauldron of caustic power chording, adrenalized blast beats and double bass drum thunder, and grinding white noise fusillades, courtesy of this fearsome threesome."
