Bastard Noise (Wood, Wellman, Gribenas) bring up the B-side of this release with dark synth drones, ear shearing and crunchy oscillator sounds, layered with screams of anguish and pain, they dedicate their side to the late Rick Gribenas and their dear friend and collaborator Henry Barnes.

AELTER - 'Dusk-Dawn / Follow Your Beloved' 2 x CD (Crucial Blast)
One of several side-projects to emerge from the Wolvserpent camp, Aelter is the solo effort of Wolvserpent guitarist Blake Green. Aelter explores a similar realm of dark majestic sound to Wolvserpent, with massive downtuned guitar roar and bleak minor key melodies being the common thread between the two projects. But where Wolvserpent blends this chugging Melvins-esque heaviness and haunting slowcore arpeggios with violins, pounding drums, and a propensity for extended hypno-dirges, Aelter dispenses with the drums almost completely and goes for a more cinematic approach using layered keyboards and gorgeous harmonised voices, fused to a malevolent black heaviness. Both of the Aelter albums were only released on vinyl in limited editions of a few hundred copies, but have now been gathered together in a double disc set and presented in a double digipak.

AERE AETERNUS - 'Humanity Needs No Funeral' LP (Kaosthetik Konspiration)
The first full-length album from French act Aere Aeternus. Some of you will recognise the name from their tracks on 'The Obsolete View' compilation. The dominant atmosphere combines a sense of impending insanity with sexual deviancy and a large dollop of occultism, creating a dark and troubling misanthropic sojourn that is relatively unique. The final track is probably the most musical, as it is centred on a guitar arpeggio, but no such concessions to convention are present elsewhere on this deeply troubling disk.

ARDITI - 'Standards Of Triumph' LP (Equilibrium Music)
Boasting the unique personality of Swedish combo H. Möller (Puissance) and M.

ART ABSCONS - 'Der Verborgene Gott' CD (Hau Ruck!)
An inspiring and innovative melange of noir-cabaret, dark folk and classic industrial, catapulting the splendour of his poetry into realms unknown. "The world is my dream at daybreak. Guarded by angels, conceived by devils" is the magical formula opening the concept album "Der verborgene Gott" which celebrates the myth of Deus Absconditus, the Hidden God. The album leads us through delirious dreamscapes ranging from catchy pop tunes to ethereal soundscapes, from medieval ditties to industrial sound collages, from naive melodies to psychedelic walls of sound, always crowned by Abscon's haunting, poetic voice. The album is spiced up with vocal and instrumental contributions from members of Luftwaffe, Sinweldi and Gnomonclast. This CD album contains songs and song versions that are different from the tracks on the earlier vinyl release on Blind Prophet Records. Contains tracks that are not on the vinyl, while the vinyl contains tracks that are not on the CD. Digipak.
Side-project of IRIKARAH. This LP takes the listener on a delightful journey into sound's wealth and abundance. Most of the album is very soundtrack-oriented with deep and complex dark ritual atmospheres and neo-classical instrumentations. High-tech ambient compositions with some scarce vocal samples. Rich in clear sounds and hypnotizing rhythms. Based on Norse myths. An excellent piece, and only a handful in stock! Limited to just 400 copies.

DAO & COH - 'Dzerzhinsk-9' LP (Tourette)
Russia has had an incredibly interesting and mostly uncredited underground electronic scene for some time. One of its flag bearers has been Ivan Pavlov (CoH). He has collaborated with Throbbing Gristle members Cosey Fanny Tutti and Peter Christopherson (as Soi Song). The LP is culled from 1996 recordings which were made with DAO (Andrej Dao Kolesov). DAO + CoH uses bass, guitars and custom ZX Spectrum and the results are pretty damn awesome. There is a distinct 90‘s flavour and yet it retains a freshness. ‘Propharadeia’ is a really driving track that makes me shake my body from finger to toe. ‘Oka’ is dark and sinister coming through like an Autechre / Muslimgauze hybrid, seething with eastern paranoia. ‘Sung In Sand' continues the eastern flavour with its building intricate yet subtle percussion and swooping synths.

DARK AGES - 'A Chronicle Of The Plague' LP (Northern Heritage / Freak Animal)
Dark Age's second album continues offering us minimalist Dark Ambient, this time more melodic than before, and inspired on the horrors of the Middle Ages. Between the fall of the Western Roman empire in A.D. 476 and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, Europe was ravaged by plagues and superstition. Greek was largely forgotten, and with it much of the learned texts of antiquity. 'A Chronicle of the Plague' is a musical tale of the terror of 1349, which depopulated entire villages and decimated Europe's human population; the disease was not understood at the time, and therefore it was assumed to have been the wrathful punishment from the Judaeo-Christian Deity.

This time, he proposes two obscure and cold tracks, comparable to kosmische musik inspired by Berlin. This cold, early darkness turns into an oneiric remembrance, a daydream... The sounds of these two compositions make the listener's mind float in space and, mostly on the second side of the record, the music gets warmer, rarefied and ambient, with a seductive hypnotic power.

INADE - 'The Incarnation Of The Solar Architects' 2 x LP (Loki Foundation)
There is a world that shadows our world; a world of mysterious design and unspoken secrets; of space that breathes and infinite echoes that never cease to cry. Mirrors that refract images into dark pools of cosmic nothingness. Inade explore these worlds on their latest masterpiece, in which sound is utilised in a transformative manner, not only to focus on that which lies beyond and that which has never been seen, but to embrace the Darkness and let it wash over one's soul. The mythology that Inade has created touches that place beyond forever, yet now, through the insistence of that which lurks in the margins, a metamorphosis has transpired, in which the cosmos of self has awakened. Inade provide the soundtrack... the frisson of unease is abundant, a churning, seething dread that veers into awe. It's up to the individual listener to listen intently, behind shuttered eyelids... to see and experience the true labyrinthine hierarchy of black splendor that awaits. Ltd x 344 copies on black vinyl in a stunning gatefold sleeve.
IONOSPHERE / LAND:FIRE - 'Of Mind And Of Abyss' 12" (Power & Steel / Loki Foundation)
After their well received full length works released via Tesco and Loki both German units now dig deeper into their cosmos of sound with this split EP. A brilliant slice of sonicscape-ambient, like a thick black stream of plasma crawling from places we are not yet ready to go. Places where thoughts and desires, fears and pain manifest in reality. Majestic waves of droning sound and pulsations overlayed by whispering vocal samples, cavernous resonances and dark analogue machine noises. A deep shivering cosmic ambient work beyond the edge of the imaginable. Limited edition of 475 copies.
JENNIFER GENTLE - 'Live In The House Of God' SINGLE SIDED 12" (A Silent Place)
Recorded in an empty, deconsecrated church in summer 2003, this LP is another installment in an on-going series of records documenting the weird life of Jennifer Gentle in the foggy plains of Northern Italy. Basically the sound of JG's mainman Marco Fasolo going wild with an old, battered electronic piano and a bunch of sound effects, "Live at the House of God" is a side-long improvisation sharing the same spirit of those 20-minutes keyboard freak-outs Sun Ra used to record in the late 60s. Alternatively spacey and noisy, the piece is a dark, often unnerving exploration in sound, shimmering all the way through with a distinct Krautrock / early Cluster vibe. The new owners of the church were horrified and outraged by the sheer loudness of the performance, but God liked it a lot. Single-sided white vinyl in a deluxe spot-varnished sleeve with insert.

In 1988 British post punk group Joy of Life released their song 'Warrior Creed'. 20 years later 'Warrior Creed' is back - seen though the eyes of Apoptose. The voice of Joy of Life leadsinger Gary Carey has matured and the rhythm section is reinforced by an entire band of drummers, the Fanfarenzug Leipzig. Now the music sounds even darker.

L'ACEPHALE - 'Malefeasance' 2 x LP (Aurora Borealis)
"Malefeasance" is a lengthy and complex affair that further explores L'Acephale's fascinations and strikes headlong into the darkest of musical vistas. The journey this time is perhaps even more academic than the debut "Mord Und Totsclag": further ethnographic audio elements are now present, more spacious passages, a deeper approach. A mix of ambient, warping tones, black metal, chanting, ethereal keyboards, drones, acoustic guitars, noise, field recordings and Tibetan ritual music. The last two tracks best show the nature of Set Sothis' collaborations with Markus Wolff (Waldteufel, Crash Worship), sharing some of his vocal and percussive styles. By no means do L'Acephale make music for the casual listener. In many ways they transcend the preconceived ideas of what may be expected: L'Acephale are most successful at operating beyond the constraints of genre altogether, and 'Malefeasance', with its dark, dreamlike and harrowing atmospheres, is their testament. Ltd x 500 copies on heavyweight vinyl in a matt sleeve with A1 poster and booklet.

Massive drones and sinister melodies rise out from the inside of a dark and bleak ground while crushing rhythms and unreal vocal shreds echoing through a wide spectrum of sounds and effects.

"Maleficia is the bay area duo of Andy Way (Orchest, French Radio, Carrion) and Ilysea Viles Sunderman, who crafted this desolate, post-industrial smear of voice, violin, and electronics for the always impressive isounderscore label. With the titles of the two side long pieces being "Making" and "Remaking," Maleficia offers a crucible of elemental sounds being obliterated into a charred dust and rebuilt into ashen constructions of misery and disgust... The industrialized loops that wraps around the voice and violin come across like a slow-motion Maurizio Bianchi on par with the downer records he did with Land Use or the grim power electronic phase in the early '80s. Certainly for fans of Amber Asylum, early Lustmord, and the dark ambient aspects of Broken Flag" (Aquarius). Ltd x 400 copies.

Having long established themselves as pioneers in the heavy drone and dark ambient scene, Nadja, now based in Berlin, continue pushing things forward with Konstruktion. Nadja's unique thumbprint shines strong mostly on the B side of this album, punishing guitar that scratches the listener's itch for heavy, churning and an engulfing sonic experience. Galena adds subtle synth and sustaining guitar lines that brew to boil just below Nadja's set threshold. Working in a similar and cohesive manner, Galena slowly stirs the pot with dark menacing synth layers, tape treatments and creeping washed out guitar. The A-Side shows Galena's strengths more prominent but again, welcoming subtle and tasteful additions by their collaborators. A wonderful example of 2 like-minded duos joining forces to express their own unique styles and creating something new and fresh out of the mist. Comes with download card.

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.

Two traditional songs get the Sol Invictus treatment - "Twa Corbies" and "Three Knights Came from the West". Philip Larkin's poem "The North Ship" also becomes the basis for one song. Artwork on this release is from Tor Lundvall, with the first Limited edition coming in a 6 panel luxury digipak.
Sonne Hagal’s second full-length album once more bestows the listener with a journey into the unknown realms of poetry, mysteries and enthralling melodies. Closely connected to Europa’s folk-music tradition and the Northern mysteries, the band develops song structures that reach from simple traditional arrangements to complex compositions. The songs, performed in German and English, reveal rediscovered poems as well as self-written lyrics. The atmosphere of the songs varies from intimate, quiet parts to fresher, light-hearted and lively sounds up to heavy distorted parts supported by real or electronic drums. Each song unfolds its own universe, interconnected by the central idea of “Jordansfrost”: the constant changing between light and darkness, the seasons or even life and death themselves.

Originally released in a limited edition of 100 copies in wooden case, this CD is now remastered and widely expanded. "A Wilde Zeit" drags You away into the dark forests around the holy mount Untersberg, with all his fairies and strange creatures. Many songs tell of Alpine tales and legends from long-forgotten times. Some songs are martial hymns for mountain trolls, others are drinking songs for wild hunters and creepy creatures. 6-side digipak with stunning artwork.

TARKATAK - 'Skärva' 7" (Drone Records)
A north German drone-project that has since this EP developed to one of the main German atmospheric deep droners... beautiful, dark transcendental noise. Tarkatak uses synths and other electronic devices, the music is slow, non-impulsive and dream-like. Very low rumblings, dark harmonies, some subliminal and dense backwards-effects. This is "archaic music" which could be easily compared to old Zoviet France and the like. Another Mind-Drone. Second edition of 300 copies on blue / white / red marbled vinyl in a foldout sleeve with insert.

TERRORITMO - 'AºF' LP (Punch Records)
A= Aqua (water) and F= Foco (fire) At the opposite ends of the natural axis, these two elements are inseparable in Magic: they fight and they flow into each other dynamically. Deep, dark and slow exoterical-ambient waves pulse and boil until beating industrial rushes set afire, in a spiral of emotions penetrating the mind and body.

THE GUILT ØF... - 'The Guilt Øf...' LP (At War With False Noise)
Debut full-length from Mike Williams (Eyehategod, Arson Anthem) and Ryan McKern (Wolvhammer) after their recent split LP with Merzbow. This is very different to Mike's usual output and provides him with the perfect outlet for his singular, dark world view. Early industrial, punk, electro and noise are all references here and are tied together by Williams' distinctive vocal style. This is some very dark stuff and definitely has the feel of Eyehategod even though it's got a totally different sound. Reference points: (early) Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, Head Of David. Equal parts primitive industrial, noise and punk; most certainly their most fully-realised recording to date by some way. Ltd x 250 copies on black vinyl.

TROUM - 'Nargis' 7" (Viva Hate Records)
A continuation of Maeror Tri, this is dark, moody, contemplative ambient / drone material. "The first half of this single still sounds like Troum, but is unlike anything we've heard from them, strange looped high end guitar, what sounds like backwards chords, almost choral vocals, dramatic and haunting and cinematic... over a distant grinding low end tone drifting way off in the background, washed over by epic sweeping swells.. The other side is a bit more raw and intense, a seriously corrosive guitarscape, distorted and crumbling chordal buzz, looped and layered into a strange glacial riff... it manages to be intense and fierce but also gloriously washed out and blissful."

Part 1 in a 3 x 10" series by this cult black ambient / melancholic / cold synth act from Germany. Not far from the likes of Mortiis or early Burzum, yet with a more obscure tone.

WALDCHENGARTEN - 'The Leech' 7" (Drone Records)
Wäldchengarten is a Danish duo that could be best described as “noise ambient” or “raw / harsh drone”. After some already very promising releases, this is their first vinyl. The music on 'The Leech' is very raw and filled with tiny noisy outbursts, at the same time ultra-sluggish and powerful. Low whistling feedback and pure electronic whirl-tones are omnipresent, everything seems to gradually sink to an alien centre of heavy gravity. This is dark, but its a darkness of sheer beauty.

The music is simplified and restrained which only adds emphasis to the bleak ambience of the subject matter that they are trying to convey. Part life affirming and uplifting and part despondent and depressing, the music twists and turns through so many feelings leaving you breathless with admiration.

WOLFMANGLER - 'Dwelling In A Dead Raven For The Glory Of Crucified Wolves' 2 x LP (Aurora Borealis)
Wolfmangler is the musical vision of D Smolken, a Polish political émigré, formerly of Dead Raven Choir. His music is slow, grim, noisy, black and shambling; a deconstructed hybrid of twisted folk and hinterland doom metal. Bowed double bass, electric bass and violin merge with sinister growls and whispered lyrics as Wolfmangler improvise dissonant doom riffs around lyrics taken from Hank Williams Jr, Georg Trakl and others, rich with the symbolism of life and decay. Wolfmangler create a listening experience at once unsettling, twisted and darkly beautiful. Comes with 2 vinyl-only bonus, previously-unreleased tracks! Heavyweight vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with 2 posters.
WORMSBLOOD - 'Mastery Of Creation Demos' LP (Barbarian Records)
An album of outsider metal, it's sparse and bleak, but rumblings, clanging and tortured cries erupt violently throughout. Unhinged and dangerous. Comparisons could be drawn to Armanenschaft, Blood of the Black Owl and The True Werewolf, both musically, as well as in the sense those bands also use Black Metal as a foundation to explore darker, more experimental avenues.

XABEC - 'Feuerstern' 7" Boxset (Drone Records)
"Feuerstern" ("Firestar") captures two tracks of luminous tones and magnetic resonances, which create a warm and floating aural flux. With mellow concrete material setting the counterpoint, very subtle hisses, smacking and clicking sounds can be distinguished. These are enriched further on Side B with field recordings by Michael Northam, made in 2006 at the Audioframes Sonic Art Festival in Herne. This was where "Feuerstern" was also performed in a choreographed way using fireworks! Very delicate tone colours and a perfectly balanced sound pattern allow for contemplative listening sessions.

YEAR OF NO LIGHT - 'Ausserwelt' 2 x LP (Music Fear Satan)
Year Of No Light have recruited two new thirsty mercenaries to their line-up: Shiran, of Uber-doom combo Monarch! and Mathieu, of deviant-electronics act Aeroflot. Out of their cave, they crept into an old theatre to record these 4 tracks, catching every possible vibration of the trembling frame of this enlivened new mansion. All the energy collected there forms "Ausserwelt", the sophomore album of Year Of No Light. Mystical emanations flow out of these riffs colliding into each other to an in ear-splitting shriek. Cranked amps and molested drums hurl their mourning chant as a choir intoning its final psalms at the dawn of the Last Judgment. Year Of No Light follows the path opened by "Nord" towards more sombre psychedelics, creating its own blend of black metal, sludge, drone or any other influence marked with the seal of darkness. An ambiguous electrical network of acting singularities, now ready to afford the collective metaphysical crash to come. Ltd x 500 copies over two slabs of black vinyl in a superb gatefold sleeve.
Brand new material by this cult project from the US, working with deep e-bass sounds to create an isolationist mass of darkest cosmic ambience, a kind of "black hole" ur-drone. When you put this on you are immediately touched by the cold breath of an amorph "otherness". This sound is so monumental and complex that it seems to suspend not only the mind but also the physis, and you experience intensely that both are the same anyway. There's something in this music that lets you really shiver and feel levitated at the same time. Gloriously, the self is dissolving. Ltd x 500 copies on black vinyl in a spot-varnished sleeve, with artwork by the great artist & photographer Eyelyft.
