"What is the main inspiration of my work with Dissecting Table? Observing death through life."

--Ichiro Tsuji

"Scrap-metal ambience, ultrafast multi-layered chime, double barreled bass-trumping, faintly whining knife-sharpeners and hacking cough, heavy rhythms, sheets of noise, samples clangs and screams, and very harsh, gutteral vocals create an aura of dread. This is the sort of dense, intense, rhythmic sound that so-called agro-tech bands attempt and fail to achieve: incredible intensity of sound and rhythmically-brutal mechanisms of horror, claustrophobia of environment, reality images, dark omen and furious noise-metal frustration, extreme anger and transparency of eternal fog, violent and devastating for mind, combines Japanese musical traditions with western decadence in EBM/digital/dark-trance hybrid. Dissecting Table is the exclusive child of Ichiro Tsuji, computer engineer. Imagination confirms again own cult status of one of the best harsh industrial projects, born under bloodless axis of country of rising noise. Being a part of 'UPD Organization' (Ultimate Psychological Description) and its main propagandist. He concentrates on investigating interest of physical energy-bond between sound and our perception of it...special density of audio power fluctuations in experimental music in its relation to human consciousness. Established in 1986, Dissecting Table has been managing to develop and embody these ideas in extremely limited-run albums, being provided by support of leading world labels like 'Dark Vinyl' and 'Relapse'."
