This Swedish Dark Ambient sound sculptor (who has already shown his mettle as a member of IRM) has also released albums for such noted labels as Malignant Records, Autarkeia and Segerhuva. "Fragile Confrontation" finds Eric Jarl looking back into the sparse, cold isolationist landscapes of "Sealed Void", while instilling an undercurrent of impending violence, like a blade slowly moving toward flesh in tense, scraping frame-by-frame action. Metallic drones and static waves slide against each other as the confrontation between steel and skin comes to a mind-numbing collision. Mastered by Peter Andersson (Raison D'Etre).

KORPERWELTEN - 'Avatars Of Rape And Rage' CD (Malignant Records)
The much-anticipated full-length collaboration between two giants of the Industrial scene: Nordvargr (MZ.412, Folkstorm, Toroidh etc) and Leech (Navicon Torture Technologies). Some of you will remember their previous collaboration 'Breed For Me' from the "Enter Nordvargr" compilation. Epic Power Noise and Blackened Ambient never sounded so good! Mastered by J Stillings (Steel Hook Prostheses). Presented in a 6-panel digipak with artwork by Jonathan Canady (Angel Of Decay, Deathpile). Highly recommended!!
MARTIN BLADH - 'Study For A Theater Of Cruelty' CD (Annihilvs)
This is the much-anticipated solo release by the genius frontman of Swedish industrial legends IRM and Skin Area. Aktionist, provocateur, visionary: Martin Bladh has composed an eerie score for impossible performance art, incorporating sparse, stringed drones and chilling atmospheres similar to Bladh's work with performance artist Bo I. Cavefors. Jewelcase edition. Ltd x 300 copies.

WILT - 'The Damnation Helix: Zeitgeist Movement Vol. 2' CD (Annihilvs)
With "The Damnation Helix", James P. Keeler sinks to new depths of sonic necromancy. Hearken to the sound of black teeth grinding against the boundaries of the afterlife to send us a message of fear, as the voices of the damned cry out from beneath blankets of charred skin just beyond the threshold of a universe of pure madness. This material ranges from the familiar dark ambient atmospheres of Wilt's previous works to pieces infused with a new sense of brutality. Prepare to navigate the confounding array of sound that is "The Damnation Helix". Ltd x 500 copies.
