Context YMMV / Merzbow

Go To

1* ArchivePanic: Unless YOU yourself are Merzbow, do NOT attempt to collect every single release he has put out since 1979, as his catalog is rather...extensive. [[FromBadToWorse Probably not helped by the fact that he is known to work under multiple aliases]].
2** One release of his ''by itself'' has ''fifty discs''.
3* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Fans of extreme music genres, especially {{Industrial}}, {{Grindcore}}, IDM, and power electronics may find his music interesting, though it is most definitely an acquired taste.
4* EpicRiff: The opening to "1930, Part 1", which somehow sounds similar to the pre-chorus buildup of "Regurgitate" by Music/{{Noisia}}, only with more distortion.
5* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx37c2PNM3I Someone once started brushing his teeth when at one of his concerts.]]
6* NightmareFuel: All his musical output. In fact, his music is considered the DeathMetal to ElectronicMusic as a whole. [[LampshadeHanging One of his side projects actually claims to be this]].
7%%* QuirkyWork: Hands down, the most eccentric musician in the J-music scene. He's even more weird than all of them combined. Also, he is one of the weirdest ElectronicMusic producers ever to gain recognition.
8* SignatureSong: "I Lead You Towards Glorious Times", the song frequently cited as the ''loudest and hardest musical piece of all time''.
9* SpiritualSuccessor: Because of his apparent influence on many industrial artists, he is sometimes considered as this to Music/ThrobbingGristle.
