Harsh Dept (1991 – 1995)
One of firsts Nicolas Malevitsis projects, started as he is stating after a discussion he had with Giorgos Priniotakis, who was issuing back at the time the greek zine NEO ROK (New Rock) and since its formation it was perceived as an extension to the activities of the 'Genital Grinder' zine, as a different form of communication. Ceased to exist at the time that the whole thing had started to look more like a label rather an activity around a deadend zine.
Harsh Dept was the first project in Greece to release recordings of the what so called “extreme musics”.
Non-musical item:
harsh 006 : factor X t-shirt (edition of 100, 70 on red t-shirt with blank ink and 30 on black t-shirt with white ink. Originally produced in order to announce the release of the factor X “noi” lp (harshlp 1) that was a part of the legendary “roh” series. The lp never came out.
His next project was the Perverse Series label.
