Japanese noise musician Merzbow has teamed up with Brazilian drummer Iggor Cavalera and Italian guitarist Eraldo Bernocchi for a new collaborative album.

Spanning two extended pieces, Nocturnal Rainforest is set to be released via Berlin-based label PAN. The trio aim to re-contextualise their respective practices in extreme experimental music “by concentrating on texture, atmosphere and sensory overload”, according to a press release, with the record also making use of field recordings.

The album marks all three artists’ debuts on PAN, the label run by Bill Kouligas.

PAN will release Nocturnal Rainforest on October 3, 2025
