Among being one half of the harsh noise slasher duo Action/Discipline as well as the intimate field recorder Kjostad, Stefan Aune has been the figure behind the New Forces label and zine for the past eight years. His ripping harsh-noise project Breaking The Will has been alongside it from the get-go.

Active since 2010, Breaking The Will has only recently entered the double-digit mark of a back catalog. A calculated no-nonsense approach of this nature is often missing in today's crop of noise artists. On this release the project continues to toe the line set by the preeminents of 90s/00s Japanoise: harsh static, rumble, crumble, shattered glass, piercing high-voltage feedback, rushing wires... but the cuts are less spastic than BTW's Japanese counterparts and the delivery becomes more severe when stripped of its clean nature and has the dirtiness of Americanoise applied to it.
