ATARAXIA - 'Concerto No. 6: A Baroque Plaisanterie' CD (Twilight Records)
Reissue of Ataraxia's 1996 album (Apollyon), remastered with an exclusive bonus track. Contain 9 songs taken from the original album, plus "Orlando, A Female" from the "Orlando" EP and Ataraxia's version of Franz Schubert's 'Ave Maria'. "Concerto No. 6" was inspired by Ataraxia's admiration for the stylistic canons of Baroque music, a music that incessantely pursued an aesthetical-formal elegance that was sometimes the mirror of an inner beauty. A deeply felt tribute to the Music Maestros of the past, a suffered research in the profound meaning of music, a personal homage to the impressive film of A. Corneau "Tous les matins du Monde", a dialogue between our earthly dimension and the ones we belong before being born and after death, an individual contribution to the Baroque harmonies and age, a subtle balance between formal beauty, passion and spontaneity, a singular excursion in the purity of sound.

BOYD RICE AND FRIENDS - 'Music, Martinis And Misanthropy' Picture Disc LP (NER)
This album is considered a classic, yet defies easy categorisation. The music is lilting, hypnotic, and aesthetically quite pleasing to the ear. It features restructurings of works by The Carpenters, Rod McKuen, and Ragnar Redbeard, as well as original vitriolic and humanist pieces and misanthropic tunes by Rice. This album was inspired by Jackie Gleason's romantic recordings from the 1950's. Kind of like a uber-group of the "Apocalyptic Folk" set, the musicians included besides Boyd Rice (NON), Michael Moynihan (Blood Axis) and Douglas P. (Death In June) are Tony Wakeford (Sol Invictus) Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade) and Robert Ferbrache (Blood Axis). This album is worth it's price just for the cover image. Comes with bonus vinyl only track. Full cover picture disc with insert. Ltd x 2000 copies.

ESOTERIC - 'The Pernicious Enigma' 2 x CD (Aesthetic Death Records)
"3 years have passed since 'Epistemological Despondency' and Esoteric return with a more mature, but still very dark and psychedelic release. The very depressive, melancholic intro of the first track, suggests that those guys are actually familiar with the concept "melody", although they don't apply it too often. Doom fans that are only familiar with the works of bands like My Dying Bride and Anathema, may think after those first five minutes that Esoteric have a sound similar to those bands... But after those five minutes they'll probably get scared the hell out of them. The familiar Esoteric chaos returns, with a plethora of vocal, bass and guitar effects, extremely tortured, intelligible death grunts and hysterical screams and an overall atmosphere that reminds all too much of a bad trip."

SUI GENERIS UMBRA - 'Ater' CD (Dying Art Productions)
Sui Generis Umbra is the new guise of Polish act Umbra. Dark haunted occult music, similar to Aghast. The music of Umbra has a special, magical, dark and secret atmosphere. It flows out of a lonely heart which belongs to a creature from another world. A world with no time, a world freed from reality. Hidden in the world of solitude and darkness, living among the old superstitions Lady Lugalla describes a world in which the unreal coexists with the real. Howling of the distant wind, scornful yells, the singing of bells playing the demons' song called Ater. A song which comes straight out of the depths of Lady Lugalla's heart. A spell that takes the listener on a trip to the magical world of The Witch! Originally released in 2000 by Fluttering Dragon, now re-issued with new artwork in an edition of 500 copies.
VISTHIA - 'In Aeternum Deleti' CD (ATMF)
There was a time when extreme music was not a mere shouting exercise, but a Vision, an idea of how to develop the magma of creation. Hailing from Italy, Visthia confirm the innovative attitude and contribution this scene is giving to reawakening the daring attitude that scene seems to have lost. Where others merely stopped to investigate, Visthia crossed the Rubicon, passing through the most extreme metal hemispheres to the industrial fields, resulting in the Black Powernoise genre. Told through the Latin tongue, the Occult Tradition becomes untold. The platter is enriched by the contribution of the internationally renowned artist Nicola Samorì, known for his unique style, bringing modern decay into the crystalized perfection of the ancient.
