Japanese noise musician Merzbow has teamed up with Brazilian drummer Iggor Cavalera and Italian guitarist Eraldo Bernocchi for a new collaborative album. Spanning two extended pieces, _Nocturnal Rainforest_ is set to be released via Berlin-based label PAN. The trio aim to re-contextualise their respective practices in extreme experimental music “by concentrating on texture, atmosphere and sensory overload”, according to a press release, with the record also making use of field recordings. The album marks all three artists’ debuts on PAN, the label run by Bill Kouligas. PAN will release _Nocturnal Rainforest_ on October 3, 2025 https://thequietus.com/news/merzbow-iggor-cavalera-eraldo-bernocchi-new-album-pan/
