Incapacitants are a type of chemical weapon designed to mentally or physical paralyze opposition soldiers, and when first developed in the 1960s they were heralded as tools of "peaceful war." Are the Incapacitants fighting a peaceful war? Well, that's for you to decide, but they definitely are designed to arrest mind and body. Quietus, released on their Japanese home label, Alchemy, is another fairly decent Incapacitants record. But you might file this under "yet another noise album." With little to differentiate it from other releases, it seems like just another excursion into noise. While overkill is an interesting trait of the noise genre, it's hard to view each release of a discography that's longer than Shoko Asahara's rap sheet as essential. The "shotgun as many cassette releases as possible" is, however, an important part of the aesthetic. Here Mikawa and Kosakai offer three tracks -- "No Risk, No Return," "Backfire," and "Gody Fishing" -- pretty standard, loud-as-possible stuff. Not bad, not essential -- it just is. Is that what a peaceful war sounds like? ~ Brian Whitener
