Two years after the highly acclaimed "Nuklearchetyp" album the mighty Atomtrakt are finally back with a new release entitled "Sperrstelle Nordost". This new opus sets new standards in the Apocalyptic / Martial Industrial scene: Words like 'bombastic', 'martial', 'heroic' or 'militant' definitely need to be re-defined. The atmosphere of "Sperrstelle Nordost" is threatening and cold. It leads the listener back to times of war and truly hits like an atomic bomb. "Sperrstelle Nordost" deals with the situation of Switzerland in the 2nd world war / cold war - "Sperrstell Nordost" is an area in Switzerland which was of national importance for the entire country during times of war.

DANNAGOISCHD - 'Emm Discda Ondrholz' Enhanced CD (Percht)
Dânnâgôischd (the ghost of the dark forest) is a project coming directly out of the deep Alpine and Swabian woods. "Emm Dichdâ Ondrholz" (in the dense brush-wood) features 16 tracks of Alpine Forest Folk, telling tales in ancient Swabian language about creatures living in darkest woods, with all their legends, atmospheres and myths. The atmosphere spreads between melancholy, tradition and pure forest life. Dreamy songs are mixed with dark and natural (sound)tracks, as well as with more folky tunes. "Emm Dichdâ Ondrholz" is a perfect trip to the misty fir tree forests. Dânnâgôischd is a project of Waldwuudz, alias cz (Vinterriket, Atomtrakt, Nebelkorona etc). Includes 2 video clips. Digipak.
Amazing and unique debut CD of the Swiss Ur-Folk project Fräkmündt, born out of the idea to revive old sagas and nearly forgotten songs and atmospheres of the alpine regions of Switzerland. Performed in alemannic central-Swiss dialect, the songs on "Urbärglieder" simulate a journey through landscapes of the quaint regions of Switzerland. They let you chase through stormwinds with the wild hunt at mount Pilatus or stroll under the paintings of the danse macabre over the Spreuerbridge in Lucerne. One can meet the devil in the Schöllenen gorge and follow the alpine herdsmen during their sad walk down to the valleys in autumn. The album is alternated by two sound-accentuated sagas and two atmospheric pieces, letting one share the horrors of the ghost-house in Stans and the mythical ambiance inside the Mondmilchloch cave. On "Urbärglieder" acoustic guitars, accordion, violin, flutes and various percussion instruments generate melancholic melodies full of nostalgia, but also rousing hymns which invite to dance. With "Urbärglieder" a piece of extraordinary Ur-Folk music was born, telling in its very own way the stories that are almost forgotten. Features cz (Vinterriket, Atomtrakt, Nebelkorona etc). Deluxe digipak with 16 page booklet.
NEBELKORONA - 'Tannenhochforst' Enhanced CD (Heimatfolk)
Nebelkorona's 2nd album features seven tracks of finest dark and melancholic Neofolk. Lamenting acoustic guitars are mixed with romantic and melancholic piano parts, solemn synth landscapes and clean vocals. "Tannenhochforst" leads the listener to snow-covered alpine mountains and into wintry forests. The album is the perfect soundtrack for long and cold winter nights and for the soulful twilight in the alpine forests and mountains. The album is endowed with a crystal clear sound and features a great variety of moods and ambiences. Nebelkorona is a project of cz (Vinterriket, Atomtrakt etc) which was founded in 2003. The new album is highly recommended for fans of Vinterriket's "Horizontmelancholie" album. "Tannenhochforst" was mastered by Axel Frank (Werkraum, Triarii, Sturmpercht) and features a video clip for the track "Windstille". Digipak with 16-page booklet.
