"Incapacitants have been around for about 20 years and remain one of Japan's most orgiastic Power Noise outfits. There is nothing fancy about their Noise, nothing complicated or intellectually demanding. What they offer instead is total immersion in a powerful Tsunami-like wall of solid noise. To the initiated, an Icapacitants recording or live performance at maximum volume can induce a blissful hypnotic state akin to transcendental meditation. As most Noise fans would already know this is something that most other types of music just can't do. And I guess that's why people who truly love Noise music are so committed to it and why it's so frustrating trying to convince skeptics that Noise music is good music.For those who like Noise but are unfamiliar with Incapacitants (if that's possible), "Unauthorized Fatal Operation" is a great place to start. It was recorded live at a club in Tokyo and captures nicely the shear wall to wall non-stop roar of live Japanese Noise a la Incapacitants. Of course it ain't the same as being there in person, but if played loud enough it's the next best thing."
