About Me


..."the bad news is, we have to wait."
MP3s are available at the Korperschwache sounds page.
Select items, including the Kvlt of Korperschwache subscription plan of reissue and unreleased material throughout 2008, can be purchased directly from RKF at the Korperschwache site's STORE page.
New releases on the horizon from various labels include BROKEN BLADES OF STEEL SCATTERED ACROSS THE NARROW WAY and a couple of albums that are still in the works. Look for more news on these items as they become available in the near future.
Currently available:
THE HEALING POWER OF PARANOIA is now available from Cut Hands . Limited to 70 copies.
DEAD FLOWERS AND A HANDFUL OF PLAGUE is now available from Faunasabbatha . Limited to 60 copies.
POISONED EMISSIONS FROM THE APOCALYPSE FACTORY, a split cd with three tracks from Churner and three from Korperschwache, is now available from Violent Noise Atrocities . The STAIRWAY TO HELL 3-inch can also be purchased here.STAIRWAY TO HELL (3-inch cdr) is now available from Dark Winter Moon Recordings. Limited to 100 copies.
BROTHERHOOD OF THE BOWL is now available from Inam Records. Limited to 100 copies, the disc is available directly through the Korperschwache store or through Public Guilt, Crucial Blast, and a few other places. This is one of the beatless ones; Doktor Omega was in Paris getting her dominatrix boots shined during the making of this one.
The Korperschwache release on Dead Sea Liner (UK): THE JOY OF SEPPUKU. Five longish tracks of ambient, beatless death-drone noise.
Still available (but probably not for much longer): The Korperschwache release on Public Guilt : The limited-run cdr-ep "a mountain of skulls for the clueless cowboy" is available now. Get it while it's hot (and before it's gone).
The second and third installments of the OUROBOROS trilogy, RITUAL OF THE OUROBOROS and SACRIFICE OF THE OUROBOROS , are now available from Crucial Blast . Limited to 150 each, get yours while they're hot, blah blah blah. The original disc, VOICE OF THE OUROBOROS, has been sold out for quite a while now, but can be heard in MP3 format at the Korperschwache SOUNDS page.
THE STANDARD BATTLE CRY:
Korperschwache is psychedelic black metal drone noise or something like that. Nine of ten mothers agree that it's real evil-like and stuff, plus probably harmful if swallowed. (And there's a lot to... uh... swallow.) If you so desire, you can hear this stuff on convenient little round discs from such swell places as CRUCIAL BLAST .
RKF is the jackass in charge of Korperschwache. What began as a noise side-project in 1995 has become, since Autodidact ceased at the end of 2003, his main gig. His long-standing partner-in-crime, Doktor Omega, is still around to swing her golden hammer at those glacial tempos.
RKF has also been involved in such other unnatural disasters as Autodidact, UNHOLYDEATHMACHINE, and the financial train-wreck known as Monotremata Records (RIP). He currently plays in this shitty excuse for a band. He is the editor of the music ezine DEAD ANGEL (over ten years of reviews and "hijinks").
