Mauthausen Orchestra is the pioneering noise and industrial project founded by Italian artist Pierpaolo Zoppo in the early 1980s. Known for its raw, confrontational soundscapes and challenging thematic explorations, the project became a cornerstone of the Italian power electronics movement. Through releases on labels such as Aquilifer Sodality and Slaughter Productions, Mauthausen Orchestra developed a reputation for pushing sonic and emotional boundaries, influencing generations of experimental and noise musicians around the world.
