History

Charnel Music is a record label devoted to releasing unusual music ranging from sheer noise assault to rhythmic and psychedelic musics. Its releases have included CDs from Crash Worship, Mainliner, Trance, and Gravitar. In addition to the releases on Charnel Music itself, it had the Circular Reasoning division, for somewhat more accessible music that included Japan's Angel'in Heavy Syrup and San Francisco's Tel Basta. As of 2021, after many years of silence, a few vinyl-and-digital releases are in the works. The Charnel Music record label and Automatism Press publishing house are part of a media family operated by musician/artist Mason Jones and author/editor Loren Rhoads.
