AURA NOCTIS - 'Itineris I' CD (Twilight Records / Gradual Hate Records)
The two feminine characters animating this project, Pilar and Olga, follow a Dark Atmospheric Heavenly Voices direction originating in Arcana, Elend, Dark Sanctuary, Qntal or The Moon and The Nightsprit. The cello, piano and synth sound more atmospheric and dreamlike. The voice sounds like the breath of the forest, hanging over the music and leading the listener into dreamy landscapes. "Itineris I" is an initiatory journey through the most evocative romanticism. Aura Noctis aims to transport us to those places where the mind has never been, arousing fantasy that is latent within us. Their melodies are the hope that drives away the pain.

DIALING IN - 'Cows In Lye' CD (PseudoArcana)
Dialing In is the ecstatic roaring psychedelic drone project of Seattle based sound artist Reita Piecuch. Utilising the natural acoustics of a series of reverberant spaces she weaves together super saturated soundscapes by recording in one environment, playing back in another, and then re-recording this recording playing back in yet another environment. On 'Cows in Lye' the original sound sources range from loops of field recordings from a trip to India, piano, and the shifting drones of a "Shruti Box" (electronic Tamboura). One track also features a long stream of consciousness vocal performance from avant-crooner 'Herb Diamante'. 6-panel digifile.

DIM ARCANA - 'Ars Populi' CD (Black Drone)
Dim Arcana was born in the a.d. MMVIII, from the intent to recall ancient atmospheres of death and pestilence, dreadful environments where the man of the medieval times lived. Influenced by the greatest names of the ambient scene (Uruk-Hai, Raison D'etre, Equimanthorn), the duo presents medieval dark ambient with great noise and drone influences, alternating orchestral passages of ethereal rhyming. Lavish breaths of past times serve as frames, where bells of churches and ancestral instruments bring you back in medieval Europe. This debut album comes in beautifully designed 6-panel digipak and includes a 12-page booklet. Australian import.
KARJALAN SISSIT - 'Karjalasta Kajahtaa' CD (Cyclic Law)
2009 edition of Karjalan Sissit's 3rd album (originally released 2004). The Finnish pioneer is back from the degenerated and alcoholised Swedish ghetto of Eskilstuna, diving deeper into total melancholy, anti-socialism, bitterness, disintegration and alcoholism. Filled with bombastic outbursts of Neoclassical arrangements, entwined with traditional Finnish Humppa and deep Industrial sonorities. Produced by Peter Bjärgö (Arcana). Ltd x 1000 copies in an outsized gatefold textured sleeve.
Born from the ashes of Ordo Funebris emerges Narsilion to drive us through those dreams that one day made us feel magic... in a world full of mysticism... where elves, fairies and more beautiful creatures dance to unending legends... Medieval compositions and neoclassical, orchestrated with violins, magical flutes, ethereal guitars, percussion and sweet elven voices that will carry you far away, where time lays dead and wonderful memories write again in the pages of our lost innocence. One of the most promising bands in the Spanish medieval-folk scene. For followers of Arcana, The Moon And The Nightspirit, Trobar De Morte etc. Digipak.

NECROPHORUS - 'Moments Of Sleeping Sadness' CD (Tantric Harmonies)
"Moments of Sleeping Sadness" is a collection of early material gathered from 1991-92 (including early demos). A sumptuous mix of Modern Classical, Ambient and Gothic, the music has a sad and mysterious nature.

Could find appeal with fans of In The Nursery, Nouvelles Lectures Cosmopolites, early Ildfrost, Penitent, Endvra, Arcana or even Dead Can Dance. Die for this record!!! Russian import.

NECROSADIST - 'Abstract Satan' CD (Temple Of Flesh / Daemon Worship Productions / Blood Harvest)
"Abstract Satan" is a proper head-first initiation into the abyss of Necrosadist; a 46-minute blistering deluge of raw Necro Black Metal violence. Serpentine, dynamic song structures gnarling and twisting together titanic, gargantuan riffs, intense blasting machinegun violence, slit-throat vocals that are vomited - not sung, obscure and hypnotic atmospheres, chaotic, wailing guitar solos screaming from the netherworlds and hints of occult psychedelia - all pointing in the only direction possible: downwards towards Hell. Featuring lyrical contributions courtesy of KHZ (Bestia Arcana, Malchira) and MkM (Aosoth, Antaeus). You are nothing but flesh.

OUR GOD WEEPS - 'Unity' CD (Hau Ruck!)
Dark Neoclassical music from Hungary. "Unity features beautifully constructed tracks where solemn keyboard passages combine with sweeping orchestrations against an ongoing undercurrent of martial percussion. The vocals are delivered in their native Hungarian tongue, and are particularly commanding. The lyrics are reproduced in an English translation within the booklet, which is graphically excellent. It's a particularly mature piece representing the third release from this solo-project commanded by Madura János, which could at points elicit comparison with Der Blutharsch, In The Nursery, Arcana and other Neoclassical outfits. There is spiritual beauty in the works of Our God Weeps" (Compulsion). Digipak.

PETER BJÄRGÖ - 'A Wave Of Bitterness' CD (Kalinkaland)
The stunning new solo album from Arcana mastermind Peter Bjärgö! The mentor of the Swedish band has put together a Dark Ambient jewel with pale insertions of other styles too, the most visible of these being the Ethno-Ambient sounding percussion resembling Dead Can Dance. It is a replica of what Brendan Perry is doing versus the notorious band he once was part of, that’s how this album can be seen versus the history of Arcana.

SUB LUNA - 'Awake!' CD (Cyclic Law)
Sub Luna is a Swedish duo formed by Mikael Lindblom (also a live collaborator for Karjalan Sissit) and Fredrik Sooberg. Their sound has definitely been refined and expands the framework established with their previous album, the double CD "In The Shade of time". Here Sub Luna merge more traditional elements of the dark folk genre with influences from the world of pop and rock and thus avoid falling into trappings of the genre. These are songs of love and hate, nostalgia and progression, magic and loss... songs of protest from the age of nihilism. Features a guest vocal appearance by Ann-Mari Thim (Arcana) and mastering from Peter Bjärgö. Ltd x 1000 copies in a digipak with booklet.
SUB LUNA - 'In The Shade Of Time' 2 x CD (Dagaz Music)
Swedish Dark Folk project from former Unio Mystica member and Karjalan Sissit live musician. Though relying heavily on acoustic guitars, Sub Luna also incorporates the use of strings, tremolo and even slide guitar, which at times move their brand of dark folk into lounge/pop territory. Melodic and moody, not unlike Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio. Mastered, mixed and recorded by Peter Bj�rg� (Arcana, Sophia). Limited to 600 copies, including a bonus disc of early material.
SUNKEN - 'Eye Electric Organ, Brain Electric Nerve' CD (PseudoArcana)
Deep in the swirling depths of the ocean a terrible yet wondrous beast stirs slow but sure amidst great forests of sea algae. Taking on the form of a pair of conjoined drown-ed sailors it sets forth upon the currents determined to loose its apocalyptic vision upon the earth via droning sea shanty and great humming hymn. Sunken is the duo of sunken sailors Stefan Neville (Pumice) and Antony Milton (Black Boned Angel, Nether Dawn). Using a range of organs, sonar gear, live tapeloops, vocals and an unhealthy amount of submarine reverb they create a glorious droning pop noise. Presented in an 8-panel digifile.

A dark wave / ambient release revolving around variations of a central musical theme. As the album progresses, the melodies become less apparent and the tone of the songs becomes darker and more abstract. Varied yet coherent, a part of the story is told by each individual track, culminating in the auditive equivalent of a short horror story. "Basement" tells the fictional story of a small New England town, a sinister man named Horace Pinkerton and the unnatural abominations hidden by him for years.

VOIDWORK - 'Horror/Forsaken' CD (Black Drone)
A beautiful release by VoidWork featuring vocals from Ann-Mari Thim (Arcana, Seventh Harmonic). "Horror/Forsaken" is a double-headed album based loosely on the concepts of fear, abandonment and mankind's meaningless place in an impersonal Universe. "Horror", the first half of the release, is relatively song oriented and was inspired musically by 90s darkwave, as well as traditional melodies of both Eastern and Western culture. "Forsaken" mainly carries traditional dark ambient influences and focuses on atmosphere rather than on conventional song structure or sound. Both dark halves come together to make a black whole that is organic in its origin and purpose. From waking to sleep, birth to death. Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak. Australian import.
