Originally released on cassette in 1985, 'H•A•D•A•Y•R•O' is a landmark of radical Japanese noise music. It documents the early vision of Solmania and the singular sonic approach of Masahiko Ohno and his personal sound laboratory. For years, it remained a cult artifact among collectors and underground enthusiasts.

At the heart of the album are his self-built guitars, transformed into extraordinary sound-generating machines. Their tones scrape, roar, and vibrate with an almost organic intensity. Alongside these, Ohno also employs tape, radio, turntable, and voice - expanding the palette into a raw, multi-source field of sound, with drums and keyboard performed by Tomioka Akira. Layered noise, distortion, feedback, metallic harmonics, low-end resonance, and electrical abrasion intertwine into dense, evolving structures.

Despite its industrial harshness, it's not simply about volume or aggression, but about exploring texture, repetition, and transformation. A balance between construction and controlled collapse, its hypnotic passages take on an almost ritualistic, sculptural quality.
