L.White Records reissues 2023 Chinese noise and industrial music compilation
Out via the German label L.White Records is a limited 3CD pressing of the 2023 compilation “Eternal – A Chinese Noise and Industrial Music Compilation”. The release was compiled by Junky, the founder of Torturing Nurse, which is also featured on this compilation.
This 3 CD set contains a total of 26 noise and industrial music groups from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Most of the works were newly recorded for this compilation in 2023 and a small number of the works are recordings from disbanded groups from the early 1990s.
China’s noise and industrial music movements began gaining traction in the late 1990s, following the post-Tiananmen era, when underground musicians started exploring beyond the commercialized rock scene. Influenced by Western avant-garde pioneers—introduced partly through figures like Hong Kong’s Dickson Dee and U.S.-based Dajuin Yao—these genres developed outside traditional academic or state-supported frameworks. Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou became hubs, supported by alternative venues like art galleries and small studios.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
