Hypnoskull returns with ‘Cyberpunisher’ CD reissue (100 copies) – Out now

Hypnoskull
Out now on EE Tapes as a limited CD reissue (+ digital) is “Cyberpunisher“, a lost Hypnoskull cassette album from 1994. This release contains some of the earliest and most definitive experiments that shaped the project’s trademark fusion of industrial, rhythmic noise, and techno.
All tracks were recorded by Patrick Stevens between December 16, 1993, and January 7, 1994, at Granite Side Studio, Beveren-Waas. The original tape was released by the Dutch label Hahamandad / Ha-releases in 1994.
Founded in 1992, Hypnoskull is the project of Patrick Stevens, who merges raw analog electronics with harsh rhythm structures, creating an intense sonic assault that blends industrial, rhythmic noise, and techno-industrial.
After years of underground activism in the global electronic and industrial music scene, Hypnoskull gained wider recognition with the release of Rhythmusmaschine 1-2 on Ant-Zen in 1998.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
