Composed entirely by live noise concrete and the use of a fuzz box, Pulse Demon eschews all overdubs and studio trickery, laying Merzbow bare. What follows in these recordings is the pure essence of unfettered noise. The rawness in 'Pulse Demon' is palpable; praised as 'genuinely extreme, downright torturous sounds that are strangely compelling in their shredding intensity', (A.V. Club) upon its original release in 1996.
