DER BLAUE REITER - 'Silencis' CD (Caustic Records)
The long awaited second album of Der Blaue Reiter. More apocalyptic than ever, Sathorys Elenorth and Lady Nott (Narsilion) are back with a new chapter of darkness and sadness, in hands of an uncertain destiny where human being shines under the last days of its tormented existence and in world surrender under the most absolute madness. Decadence and death, sin and desolation are the keys which guide us through forgotten ambiences where the martial holds the reins of our sad reality. Our future dawn deconstruction has already begun, now you just decide when die. Presented in a beautiful 6-panel digifile and limited to 1000 copies. Reminds of Ordo (Rosarius) Equilibrio or Puissance in its most apocalyptic places.

FAYRIERIE - 'Michelia Campaka' CD (Caustic Records)
"There is a place some steps forward from the mundane. Perhaps where the wood starts, where you can feel the embrace of the Great Mother wrapping the spirit up. It is in this place where magic dwells, the one that shelters all art, where conscience wakes up and finds the gift of creation. It is in this hidden place where muses are born, the ones that inspire the soul of the world". The debut album from Fayrierie is Neo-Dark-Fantastic-Folk interpreted with outstanding technique and whose musical structure is formed by guitars and lyrics. Clean and spontaneous songs, supported by vocal and instrumental arrangements, make the sound of this duo unique. "Discover the beauty of the sober and the essence of already forgotten perfumes". 6-panel digipak.
JAZZFINGER - 'The Little Girl On The Plane Who Turned Her Dolls Head Around To Look At Me' CD (Muzamuza Records)
Rare debut album from the UK electro-acoustic / avant-garde / experimental duo of Ben Jones and Hasan Gaylani, here investigating classic lo-fi psychedelic noise in a post-Bower / Campbell / Youngs style. "A caustic soundscape of high end streaks, like howling dogs and balloons being rubber together morphs into a thick fuzzy dirgescape thick with industrial scrapes and warbly organ, like some long lost Dead C jam, then some damaged acoustic guitar beneath a field of buzzing electricity... Thick and caustic and noisy but somehow so creepy and pretty" (Aquarius). Ltd x 500 copies in a heavy PVC archive sleeve with vellum wrap.

ONIRIC - 'Cabaret Syndrome' CD (Caustic Records)
Italian project Oniric was founded by Carlo De Filippo and GianVigo (Gianpiero Timbro) in 2005. From the start their first spontaneous and artistic meeting the resulting compositions where ethereal, dreaming and inspirational. The combination of Carlo's Sad Chords and smooth dark sound and GianVigo's sonorous and contemplative melodies in the first works created an intimate and nostalgic feel. The dream like journey now begins with the release of "Cabaret Syndrome". The first album by Oniric is a melodic exploration dressed in a nostalgic style, touched by the penetrating veil of decadence. Both Apocalyptic and futuristic-retro Folk atmospheres combine into the air as if to open celestial gates while passing over them before vanishing into the Ether carried on the air of long forgotten times. A must for fans of Spiritual Front, Argine or Rome.
SEWER GODDESS / MOURNER - 'In The Cold Of Stabbing Doldrums' 10" (Apop Records)
Split 10” from Boston’s Sewer Goddess and Nashville’s Mourner. Combining raw, beat-driven power electronics and oppressive, ornamental doom, this slab of vinyl contains three tracks to carry you down the dark, looming path of isolation. Sewer Goddess’ enigmatic approach to both noise & power electronics weaves undulating rhythm, echoing vocal wretch, and vile guitar riffery into a caustic cauldron of depravity. Akin to the likes of Steel Hook Prostheses, Sewer Goddess has risen to the top of contemporary heavy electronics. With crushing power, Mourner’s dynamic volley of squelching feedback, death march percussion, and cavernous wraith vocal attack lends itself to the school of doom forebearers, Burning Witch and Khanate. With atmospheric tension at a snail’s pace, Mourner is able to harness the haunting cacophony of Hell with blackened romanticism. Hopeless, putrid – this is organic depression in its purest form.

SKIN AREA - 'Rothko Field' CD (Malignant Records)
3rd full length release from this acclaimed Martin Bladh (IRM) project (in conjunction with Magnus Lindh), following two albums on Cold Meat Industry. Like previous works, "Rothko Field" is a visceral auditory experience... mind bending and turbulent sonic explorations that are grainy, abstract and tense, where uneasy frequencies intersect with caustic drones, insectile buzz, swelling drifts, and slow motion, percussion driven sludgery. "Rothko Field" is more structured than in the past, coming off as both spacious and yet suffocatingly claustrophobic, suggestive of a spiral downwards into mental decay and degradation, and further enhanced by Martin's uniquely distressed and provocative vocalizations. 9 tracks in total, broken into two "mirrored parts", with track 5, "Void" acting as the actual mirror itself. Digipak with 24-page booklet.
