HYPSIPHRONE - 'And The Void Shall Pierce Their Eyes' CD (Black Plagve / Malignant Records)
Debut album from this one man project from Greece, fitting right in with labelmate Sewer Goddess in its ability to create innately evil and impure sounds, integrating elements of doom metal, black metal, and dark experimentalism into the pure industrial horror that constitutes the majority of this release. The result is nothing short of absolute and abject dread; 8 tracks spanning an hour worth of material…an auditory overload that’s completely immersive, and at times overwhelming , where heaving masses of percussive doom collide with shuddering machinery dirge, ghoulish and nightmarish ambience, torturous screams, and cinematic depravity, the sounds layered into a tangled and abstract tapestry of something completely epic and nearly majestic in its scale. Fans of Gnaw Their Tongues, Abruptum and “Necro Evangelicum” era BDN will do well to wallow in the oozing blackness and unbridled malevolence Hypsiphrone has created. Ltd x 500 copies in a 6-panel digipak.

SEWER GODDESS - 'Disciples Of Shit: Live Waste' CD (Black Plagve / Maligant Records)
After the huge success of last year's "With Dirt You Are One", Boston based cultists Sewer Goddess return with "Disciples of Shit: Live Waste"; a fetid and raw collection of live audio crimes committed over a 2-year period from 2009-2010. Anyone who has witnessed Sewer Goddess live will know what to expect here, which is a more structured take on the death industrial, squalor filled atmospheres they’re known for. A more traditional band format adds layers of distorted and skuzzy bass, crashing percussion, and discordant guitar and meets head on with terrifying, blood curdling screams and the requisite churning mass of postmortem, electronic dirge. 5 tracks, most previously unreleased, that represent Sewer Goddess in the most raw, unclean, and unpolished of states! Presented in a 6 panel digipak, designed by Andre Coehlo (Sektor 304).
