BLACK SUN / THEY ARE COWARDS - 'Code Black / First And Only' 7" (At War With False Noise)
Black Sun take the first side with a surprisingly short, fast and loud number. Still as heavy as previous At War LP "Paralyser" but much more in the short, fast and loud vein. This one's been a set-closer for a while now and is a total rager, will hopefully be a nice surprise to a lot of you! This is the first release by Manchester-based doom-sludgers They Are Cowards and it's a beast. Totally focused, grim northern waste-inspired misery, building from a massive Celtic Frost-esque riff. A totally brilliant pairing of northern negativity! Ltd x 300 copies on heavyweight black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.

COLLAPSAR - 'Beyond The Event Horizon' CD (Malignant Records)
Malignant presents another rising star within the dark ambient scene, this time in the form of French act Collapsar. With their debut CD, Collapsar transports the listener on an epic journey deep into the cosmos, forging a path across a vast, inky void, and steering a course around a roiling galactic core of hyper-dense stars and black holes. The sound is epic, expansive, and most of all, HEAVY. There is beauty and tranquility within these realms, but there is no light - just massive, pulsating textures coalescing into shimmering drones, rippling sound waves, and billowing, multi-dimensional layers of powerful dark energy. “Beyond the Event Horizon” is without question, dark ambient in its purest form and one of the more genre defining releases of the last several years. A must for fans of Inade, Lustmord etc. In 6 panel digipak, with design by eyelyft.

DISJECTA MEMBRAE - 'Taedim Vitae' MCD (Black Mass Records)
Disjecta Membrae ("Scattered remains") was formed in Paris in 2006 by Asmael Lebouc (Funeralium) and performs grotesque vomitive doom, driven by the will and desire to create a darker, sicker atmosphere that would at last be faithful to the medieval visions of hell. Disjecta Membrae has no lyrics whatsoever: "how can human lyrics express inhuman agonies, endless filth and images of monstrosity?". A mesmerising, nightmarish journey. Spanish import.
