CARLOS CASAS / NICO VASCELLARI - 'Choir' DVD (Von Archives)
Conceived as a manifesto for the Von label, "Choir" is an audiovisual experiment, that takes the shape of an installation and live media event, as well as a limited edition video work. The image and sound is a superposition of source material selected by the artists and overlayered in order to produce a ghostly image an “hypnotic tantric metal experience” as some of the first viewers of the piece told. Choir is an hypnotic journey into the imagination of these two artists.The sound is asynchronous and comes from different selection creating an amalgam of sources and influences. This release presents the Ghostly Choir of the influences and imaginary background of these two artist. Ltd x 500 copies in a card sleeve.

DEATH IN JUNE - 'Live In New York' DVD (Tesco USA)
This beautiful and unique documentary piece, recorded at the Walker Stage in New York City on November 10, 2002, is a career-spanning collection of 29 tracks, each receiving a definitive live performance in DIJ's more recent stripped-down acoustic arrangements. Death in June has been the vehicle for Douglas P. to create a unique fusion of electronics, martial drumming (from John Murphy), and esoteric lyrics and visual symbolism. His work has spawned a new musical genre of its own, which some have called "Neofolk." While this disc will help the uninitiated to catch-up with one of the most important musical voices performing today, fans will appreciate that this DVD memorialises a concert that was nearly 21 years to the day that the band made its live debut, opening for The Birthday Party in London. The intimate setting allows Douglas P. to interact directly with the audience, taking spontaneous requests from fans and providing charming background stories for each song. Comes in a DVD digipak.

DENSE VISION SHRINE - 'Time Lost In Oblivion' CD & DVD (First Fallen Star)
Although it mysteriously shares a similar title and artwork with "Lost Time in Oblivion", "Time Lost in Oblivion" is a completely new album with no known connection to the 2007 release. Building upon a solid foundation of dark ambient, Dense Vision Shrine also employs sampled sounds and sparse rhythm to carefully design the listening experience of a realm where time itself has stopped, of a blackened voyage into oblivion. Each track of the album is distinctive, yet always possessing the signature of Dense Vision Shrine and proving unmistakably bleak. Ltd x 500 copies in a DVD case with bonus DVD of visual material used for the background screening during live performances.

Galerie Schallschutz’s first ever live appearance at the Tesco Festival / Antwerp 2007. With the sole purpose of giving the audience a great night’s entertainment, Galerie Schallschutz have put together an exceptionally amazing multimedia show with a profound stage concept. To maximise attention G.S. have optimised their performance almost theatrically, with a highly topical theme that covers the controlling of willpower, observation and constrictions of individual basic rights, and the ideology of freedom! Moreover, the musical concept with its layered ambient-drones, deep pulsed frequencies and manipulated interferences, was produced specifically for this special event and contains completely new, and most importantly, previously unreleased sounds. Skillfully filmed and tastefully produced by a professional German TV- and multimedia company! Comes in a luxury 6-panel DVD digipak with 8-page booklet.

KARSTEN HAMRE - 'Through The Eyes Of A Stranger' CD & DVD (First Fallen Star)
Having created music for many years under such project names as Arcane Art, Penitent, and Defraktor, Karsten Hamre returns with the "Through the Eyes of a Stranger". Similar to his project Dense Vision Shrine, under his own name, Karsten crafts desolate dark ambient sound structures, ornamented by sampled sounds and experimental textures. The end result of this process is an experience categorized perhaps too simply as dark ambient, though it more closely resembles a dark soundtrack to a movie, or to a life - as seen through the eyes of a stranger. Ltd x 500 copies in a DVD case with bonus DVD that takes the viewer on a visual journey of imagery used for live performances.

LASIK SURGERY - 'Cyclo' CD & DVD (Silentes Minimal Editions)
Tense electronic plots, calm ambiental stasis, inserts of sharp and harsh metallic sonorities, distortions, filaments of subliminal melodies, masses of dark and penetrating low frequency drones. The journey of Lasik Surgery starts with a whirlwind of atmospheres and perpetually prismatic sonorities that have a big impact on the listener. This project was born from the minds of Pierpaolo Zoppo (Mauthausen Orchestra), the memorable noise-power electronic author, and Gianluca Favaron, a skilled master controller and sound assembler with a long experience, already active under other aliases (Ab'she, Under the Snow, Metal Music Machine). The first exciting chapter of Lasik Surgery comes with a free DVD that includes two video clips created by Enrico Bressan. Digifile.

MAURIZIO BIANCHI - 'Escape To Bela-Zoar’ CD (L-White Records)
"Stick with it, get it at the right volume, and the latest CD from this established industrial pioneer totally delivers. 3 long tracks of old school atmospheres, full of curdling, pulsating drones, unsettling tonal washes, and strong, black undercurrents. Minimal, but penetrating, with a palpable bleak and grim quality (track two is heart wrenching) that you just don’t get from the newer kids on the scene. Maybe I’m just a sucker for the old school sound, but this sounds great" (Malignant Records). Ltd x 500 copies in a DVD case.
