GHAST / ABANDONER - 'Ghast / Abandoner' CD (At War With False Noise / Choking Hazard Records)
Two tracks each from bands coming at dark heaviness from different ends of the spectrum, but who compliment each other perfectly. The 2 Ghäst tracks are painfully slow, heavy and unrelentingly repetitive funeral dirges of ultradoom. There are some definite sludge overtones going on there but this is definitely for fans of bleak doom/sludge: think Moss / Burning Witch / Corrupted etc. Abandoner is Jay and Ryan from Unearthly Trance but this is a different proposition altogether: post-industrial soundscapes, this is almost like an alternative soundtrack to Eraserhead. Drenched in feedback, almost lost vocals, buzzing, processed guitar all come together in a massive dark, almost symphonic whole. Total void music. Ltd x 500 copies.

VA - 'The Stranglers Chapter 1' 2 x CD (Choking Hazard Records)
This is the first chapter of a 3 DCD series. It's a concept about strangling scenes from old horror movies, "I got this idea with the name of my label, Choking Hazard, it's not about the band called the Stranglers!". Doom and Sludge bands transmit the same feelings of old horror movies, it's creepy and primitive with slow motions. 2 and a half hours of doom & sludge from: Atavist, Feast Of Sins (2 tracks), Ghost Empire (2 tracks), Moloch (3 tracks), Stasis (3 tracks), The Austrasian Goat (3 tracks), The Whorehouse Massacre (3 tracks) and Welter In Thy Blood.
