DISKREPANT - 'Ex Machina Libertas' CD (Fractured Spaces)
This is the fourth release for Swedish artist Diskrepant (Per Åhlund) and this time we’re entering a dystopian vision of the future of mankind with a nightmare amalgamation of flesh and machine. Using subtle environmental field recordings, Diskrepant dives into a Hadean vision of a world where people are half-human / half-robot - a world where nature is slowly being squeezed by metal and glass.

SKARE - 'Solstice City' CD (Glacial Movements)
Skare is the collaboration of Swedish droners Mathias Josefson (Moljebka Pvlse), Per Åhlund (Diskrepant) and Fredrik Olofsson. The members of Skare are all fascinated by the circulation of water, snow and ice. The metamorphosis from gas to floating liquid to snow to solid ice through freezing, the light reflecting from the snow and filtered through the ice as a prisma and - most of all - the sound of this ever ongoing circle. "Solstice City" is an interpretation of a journey through a shifting landscape where the city meets nature. The vehicles used by Skare on this journey are field recordings, found sounds and treated and manipulated instruments. Digipak.
A stunning isolationist / dark ambient compilation from the label of Haerleif Langas (Northaunt). All tracks are exclusive, and all bands have been asked to take inspiration from the title of the CD. The result is a darkly beautiful, bleak and haunting compilation, featuring: Desiderii Marginis, Diskrepant, Hazard, Instincts, Nacht (ex-Aghast), Necrophorus (Peter Andersson of Raison D'Etre), Non Ethos (Haerleif Langas), Ovum (Karl Midholm), Philip Samartzis, Svartsinn, Tear Ceremony and Wilt. Highly recommended!
