Moune is a very old word for Moon in an old language that was spoken in Germany. But it’s not German, it’s Friesisch. Helge Siehl is the driving force of 1000schoen since the time he parted ways with the other two former Maeror Tri members. This album shows the more Dark Ambient side of 1000schoen, leaving the rhythmic path behind in favour of menacing sounds of highly personal moon rising visions. The symbol of 1000schoen reflects the celestial bodies of Sun and Moon in inseparable symbiosis, which we can see in all that we can imagine. The world of 1000schoen art and experience moves in this continuum as well. Ltd x 500 copies in a digisleeve.

Dilloway uses tape loops, tape delay, bowed tape and vocals and Yeh uses violin, voice and electronics. Heavy, psychedelic, noisy and expansive.

2009 CD reissue of (ex-Wolf Eyes) Aaron Dilloway's "Chain Shot" LP (2007). 'With only tape loops, metal, and horns (and sometimes, it seems, metal on horns) the two long pieces, 'Chain Shot' and 'Execution Dock' respectively, explore the ugly underbelly of noise before just scraping right through and aiming for the insides. In a genre that has quickly turned into a broad and often inaccurate description of a certain breed of every-man experimental music, Dilloway sticks to the old-fashioned definition of noise, doing battle with the materials in front of him as he continues the construction of his impressive body of work" (Ear Conditioned Nightmare). Contains a 28 minute bonus track. Digipak.
Ab Intra is the Latin phrase for "on the inside". The term is quite appropriately connected with the project's music. The man behind it, Radoslaw Kaminski, claims that he seeks connection with his inner side by exploring the musical territories.

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.

AIDAN BAKER & THISQUIETARMY - 'Orange (Extended)' CD (Lunasylum)
"Orange" was the first collaboration between the two Canadian drone-doom guitarists Aidan Baker (Nadja) & Eric Quach. After sharing a bill in 2005 with their respective bands, they exchanged files by mail, which were then mixed by Quach in Montreal during the summer of 2006. The result was released as an EP through Quach's imprint (TQA Records). "Orange" is now reissued, re-edited, remastered and extended into a 47 minute CD, with the addition of 4 extra tracks from the same sessions that were left behind five years ago. Ltd x 400 copies in a mini-LP sleeve.
The fourth installment of “Bach Eingeschaltet” by Canadian guitar-drone hero Aidan Baker (Nadja) is a double-edged sword: his interpretations of the maestro are both the closest to the originals, almost academic in execution, and in the end the most deconstructive. The live arrangement for electric guitar of the famous cello suite 'Prelude' slowly but surely drowns in a mist of effects abuse, while the epic and lush metal-drone version of a menuet is carried away by Nadja-esque lumbering guitar chords in streams of boundless distortion. Packaged in a cardboard foldout sleeve and limited to just 166 (!!) hand-numbered copies on clear silver grey vinyl.
AIDAN BAKER - 'Blue Figures' CD (Basses Frequences)
This massive live album from Aidan Baker (Nadja) consists of two live sets (70 min+), one with 'Figures' and the other with an 'Untitled Drone' and 'Gathering Blue'. Aidan Baker's live performances are always surprising, not to say amazing. His previous live albums are perfect examples of what he is capable of when he's on stage. You already know the songs but it's always a bit different; there are variations, extensions, improvisations. Aidan dug in his own material to find a new vision... and you won't be disappointed here! Last but not least, the sound quality is stunning. Ltd x 300 copies in a gatefold digisleeve.
AIDAN BAKER - 'I Fall Into You' CD (Basses Frequences)

"Mixing drone with post rock and experimental electronics, this 5 track, 50-minute release takes inspiration from tons of different sources and stirs them together into one drifting mass of sound... heaving layers shift over one another like a Stars Of The Lid track, but instead of letting the washes go wherever they want, he introduces a very subtle beat behind it all... Combined, the first three tracks on the release are some of the best work in the area of drone and ambient that I've heard this year... if you're a fan of drone and ambient music, definitely seek out this release, as Baker is definitely doing some great things (Almost Cool).

AIDAN BAKER - 'I Will Always And Forever Hold You In My Heart And Mind' CD (Basses Frequences / Small Doses)
CD reissue of this album previously released in an extremely limited edition on Small Doses. This is a stunning new full-length solo work from the man behind Nadja and Arc. A 51 minute work of shimmering, pulsating drone broken into twelve parts (one for each word of the title) that come together to form a seamless, wordless narrative. Ltd x 300 copies.
AIDAN BAKER - 'Lost In The Rat Maze' CD (ConSouling Sounds)
This prolific Canadian classically trained multi-instrumentalist has generously contributed to the doom / drone / ambient genre under the guise of Nadja, Arc and Whisper Room. Having been known for his extensive ambient soundscapes, Baker chose a different approach here to his sound weaving - albeit true to the "Bakersound". Instead of a densely layered and broad sound palette, Baker has almost embraced a "post-rock-ish" method of composing. More compact, pointed and clear progressions can be discovered, together with a diverse array of instruments, sounds and techniques.

A dark comedy or a folk drama about drunk birds, mocking spiders, empty bottles and lost souls. For this decadent party, recorded between late 2008 to early 2010 and graced by great emotional neofolk ballads and more experimental gloomy soundscapes, Albireon invited some very selected guests to share this tasty blueberry cake and offer the album a different palette of vocal nuances and a multi-national coven of damned artists' parade: David E. Williams, Lloyd James (Naevus), Sonne Hagal, Future Whirl (formerly Oberon) and Die Weisse Rose are the selected guests of Mr. Nightbird's party. These great artists offered a priceless contribution to Albireon's music and lyrics, and perfectly painted the sad main character, in his struggling pilgrimage toward love, loss, forgiveness and rebirth, but all seen through the drunk eye of the mocking spiders.

"Rauhe Schale" ('Rough Shell') is the brand new album from Austrian legends Allerseelen, which fascinates musically as well as visually. Everything moves and flows in a field of force between industrial, metal, folklore and pop. Lovers of bands like Nine Inch Nails, Einstürzende Neubauten, Laibach or Underworld could also fall in love with Allerseelen. Gerhard Hallstatt sometimes describes his music as Electronic Folklore or Apocalyptic Rock. But basically there is no real description for Allerseelen - all attempts to find an expression for their music may be valid for some time, yet lose their meaning after a couple of months or years. The songs were inspired by various magical mystery tours in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy and Slovenia. Gerhard is assisted here by Dimo Dimov (Svarrogh, Miel Noir, Sturmpercht), Marcel P.

Favourite moment is the atmospheric piece titled "Wachsende ringe" that opens with dramatic flute-like high-freq sounds followed by echoed male speaks with distorted guitar and crushing noise-drones operating in the deeper levels. Generally the composer has a great balance between atmospheric textures and quite brutal moments of noise with elements of power electronics" (Vital Weekly).

Now featuring co-writer Leila Abdul-Rauf (Saros), along with cello player Jackie Perez-Gratz (Giant Squid, Grayceon, Asunder), dominating low-end frequencies courtesy of bass player Eric Wood (Bastard Noise), flute player Sigrid Sheie (Hammers Of Misfortune), drummer Chiyo Nukaga (Graves At Sea, Noothgrush) and also featuring a guest narration by Jarboe (ex-Swans), it is through each member's respective lent talent that brings forth the illustrious presence emanating from 'Bitter River'. Digipak.
This year's frozen winter brought cold into the womb of this new Slovak Dark Ambient project - a horrifying, deeper and darker form of Slovak terror! This mystical project, in which the artist combines beautiful moods with destruction, combines deathly atmospherics with deep space textures, covered in a veil of mystery. The soundtrack for a movie in another time and place... for cleansing the soul or looking into an imaginary world to escape from reality. Ambiguous take you through the darkest corners of Slovakia's woods. Ltd x 333 copies in a metal box.

This voice from the past was called "Nona" or "The One Without a Name". This release introduces new elements for Amon and could be filed both under Dark Ambient and Avantgarde. Comes in 10" wallet!

ANBB - 'Mimikry' CD (Raster Noton)
Being friends and admirers of each other's work for a long time, electronic music composer / visual artist Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai) and composer / voice artist Blixa Bargeld (Einstürzende Neubauten / Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds) decided to join forces to initiate a collaborative project in 2007. Together they developed a musical concept combining improvisation and abstraction. Working on their own experimental material that gains its strength from the spontaneity of the live-performance of Bargeld’s voice as well as rethinking traditional songs in their own special manner, they deliver an outstanding and inspiring musical blend for their audience. Mimikry readopts two original tracks and two alternative versions from the "Ret Marut Handshake" EP, while also introducing six completely new songs.

ANDREA BORGHI - 'Moltiplicazioni' CD (Lisca Records)
"Andrea Borghi's solo album is ultimately more rewarding for its (relative) sparseness, with some unspectacular but extremely effective laptop treatments adding some fizz to his thrummed fuzz bass jams. It's still a case of listening to how the sound of the bass, rather than the sound of Borghi playing the bass, interfaces with the technology. 'Attrazione 2' comes closest to transcending these limitations, with Borghi scraping and rubbing the strings to give his Max/MSP patch something more colourful to sink its teeth into" (The Wire).

ANDREA MARUTTI - ' The Subliminal Relation Between Planets - Live In Archiaro' CD (Nextera)
All music performed and recorded live by Andrea Marutti in Archiaro (Catanzaro, Italy) on August the 24th, 2007. "[Marutti] operates in the area that we could loosely identify as drone music, or ambient, but... this is of a much darker nature altogether. It's hard to tell what it is that he does; be it synthesizers, samplers, computer processing or just tons of sound effects, in the end the effect is a seventy-minute opus of dark, utter dark electronic music. The planets mentioned in the title may give away some of some of the darkness, and perhaps its all too easy to say that its pitch black as the stars by night, but on christmas eve, with stars bright and almost full moon, these sort of references may count.

The inspiration comes from my own experiences, childhood fears and sadnesses, my own sensual experiences, night-time thoughts of loneliness etc. A lot of my creative works are inspired by my dreams, thus the title ’The Dark Side of Dreaming’. I generally am very inspired by dark art and surreal visions because this is what i know, it has always been with me. So to me the dark is something very familiar.

This is an unashamedly "difficult" album, an experiment that includes field recordings, Musique concr�te, and home made tone generators, the 70 minutes of which (consisting of four instrumentals, six arranged songs and one unaccompanied song) adding up to what is probably the most left-field album of traditional songs in existence!

A composer, songwriter, arranger, producer, promoter and DJ, she helped to shape the sound of the 80s. Cold Spring is proud to present her debut release expanded and brought to the public for the first time on CD. "Kickabye" features some of the leading lights of the alternative scene: NICK CAVE, MARC ALMOND, FOETUS, BUDGIE (Siouxsie And The Banshees) and GINI BALL amongst others as well as production by Jim "Foetus" Thirwell, plus 10 extra tracks from the same period. The second CD is also tracks from the same period, featuring YELLO and with production by BARRY ADAMSON. Digitally remastered with 4 new and exclusive song versions.
ANNI HOGAN - 'Mountain' CD / DVD DualDisc (Cold Spring CSR132CD)
'Mountain' is an artistic collaboration between musicians Anni Hogan, Robert Strachan and Itchy Ear, film maker Bob Wass and mountaineer Cathy O'Dowd. Hogan and Itchy Ear originally worked on a series of piano pieces inspired by Rene Daumal's 'Mount Analogue' and the superior wisdom of mountains, using O'Dowds Himalayan conquests for particular authentic inspiration. Robert and Anni used these pieces and the Himalayan peaks as a template for painting a soundwave soundscape around the piano compositions. Cathy has supplied all the photographs for the album sleeve, beautifully edited by Abby Helasdottir, and Cathy has performed a fascinating and revealing monologue over the piece 'Deathzone'. The 'Mountain' film has been created by Bob Wass from Cathy's original film footage of her Everest expeditions. The film and soundtrack are an experimental 'journey' to explore sonically and visually the nature of 'journey and mountains'.
Russian post-industrial music from George Beloglazov, who also creates computer games with an unconventional author approach. The action takes place in March 1953 in an abandoned Soviet bunker - a place of strange experiments on the human psyche. The game explores such themes as the limits of mental possibilities, EVP, experiments with thought-transference and impact of fear on the human organism. The game soundtrack, presented on this CD, embodies the project's concept in sound. Imbued with an industrial atmosphere, leisurely soundscapes turn into states of calm estrangement and isolationism. Excursions into the unknown corners of the consciousness bring to its surface old memories and long forgotten yet vaguely familiar images... and laboratorial claustrophobia grows into light melancholia. This musical picture is performed in the trademark style of Anthesteria combining abstract dark ambient, melodic neoclassical and experimental sonic artifacts. Ltd x 500 copies in an A5 gatefold card sleeve with full-colour cards depicting game locations and fragments of a book about mental suggestions from 1962. Finished off in a nice card slipcase.
ANTLERS MULM - 'Of Withered Sparks' CD (Loki Foundation)

Dark beats linked with electro-pop vibes bring highlights of an extraordinary world of sound. Phantasmagorial melodies melt into an intense atmosphere guided by the voice of Hans Johm. These 10 songs catch the mood of the warm feeling of being at home and create a landscape of a coruscant kingdom that lies deep within the lyrical and musical expression. Digipak with booklet.
APOPTOSE - 'Schattenmadchen' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Schattenmädchen ("shadow girl") has always been around, waiting patiently for seven years to step out of the shadows and reveal its face. Apoptose's third album explores dystopian locations: the undergrounds of Japanese megacities, the depths of worldwide data highways, the nightmares of little children. The 7 tracks express images of a desolate and dying world, far removed from the solitude of the beloved Northern woods. A world lacking daylight and oxygen. A bleak vision of reality. Over the years, several of these tracks made their way to compilation CDs and have now been rejuvenated and renamed especially for the unique listening experience of "Schattenmädchen". Features Kenji Siratori on 3 tracks. Housed in an embossed 6-panel digifile with booklet.
Aqua Dorsa is a new Italian ambient project formed by Enrico Coniglio and Oöphoi. Their first work “Cloudlands” is a perfect mix of glitch, classical and orchestral glacial ambient soundscapes.

ARCHON ORCHESTRA - 'Pong' CD (Shadowplay Release / Muzyka Voln / Monopoly Records)
The CD cover of this band's debut album shows a collage with a fragment of a Renaissance painting on which biblical saints look at the "sky" above them and see the game "Pong" being played there (a cult arcade game from 1972, first game by Atari). What could this marvellous picture mean? Let the listener decide. The main instrument on this CD is the organ, in fast mechanical sequences, typical for the Berlin school of electronic music. Simple compositional structure meets vivid expression, liturgical atmosphere and a sublime metaphysical line running through the whole concept of the project. Archon Orchestra deal with clearly structured music lying in the intermediate plane between the so called 'holy minimalism' and 'repetitive music'. Recommended for lovers of Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley and Recoil ("Hydrology").
The highly anticipated new album by the Swedish duo (Henry Möller of Puissance and Marten Björkman) is finally upon us. The sense of determination that echoes through their music and which has brought them to the forefront of Martial / Industrial Neo-Classical scene has stayed untouched. "Omne Ensis Impera" introduces an additional strength to Arditi's compositions - epic orchestral loops and thunderous percussions are granted a more prominent role, stirring the damp and suffocating ambiance that the duo have always produced so well with their use of ominous synths, obscure speeches and mesmerizing narrations. "Omne Ensis Impera" could well be a modern interpretation of the Futurist's goal of glorifying warfare to an artistic expression beyond its inherent violence and intrinsic sense of heroism. Mastered by Kamrat Nordvargr (MZ. 412, Toroidh etc), who also contributed to additional arrangements on a couple of tracks. Ltd x 300 copies on black vinyl.

The characteristically oppressive soundscapes, pounding percussion and powerful orchestrations are represented in new shades, as elements of Nordic folk music shape Arditi's pieces into slow-motion medieval dances and ceremonial tributes to times past. "Invictis Victi Victuri" is the first release by Signa Inferre. Although the project has only recently surfaced, the maturity displayed in their pieces should quickly earn them a favorable position in the Neo-Classical / Martial Industrial scene. Leaving behind the typical insipid blending of samples lifted from Classical music recordings and looped ad nauseam, Signa Inferre's work develops in fluid and continuous progression, giving birth to fully accomplished epic scores brimming with martial beauty.

ARNICA - 'Numancia' MCD (Ahnstern)
Numancia was a small castro (Spanish for Celtiberian village). The inhabitants of Numancia fought against the Roman Empire for more than 20 years. In 133B.C. Rome sent their best general Escipion to create a siege and destroy Numancia so they could control the entire peninsula. However, when the Romans entered the village, the survivors decided to kill their own children, set their own belongings on fire and end their own lives. If the Empire controlled Celtiberia they could not control their people. Musically Numancia is a invigorating trip from the magnificence of the village to the final decision of choose to die instead of being conquered. Solid drums and ritual elements are mixed with Heathen tunes for the recognizable Ur-Folk sound. All texts are written and sung in Spanish and in the ancient Celtiberian language. Outsize sleeve.
Artisan’s eagerly anticipated second album features 11 gut wrenching tracks of intense, fast-paced original black / death metal. Unusually, the album has mostly been written in Scots Gaelic, which gives the album an exhilarating and abnormal edge, whilst inventing a completely new styled trademark sound.

ASMUS TIETCHENS - 'Notturno' CD (Die Stadt)
Part 10 of the ongoing re-release series of all early Tietchens albums from 1980-1991 on CD. "Notturno" was originally released on LP by Discos Esplendor Geometrico in 1986 (ltd x 518) and then on CD by Baronni in 1993. Following 'Formen Letzter Hausmusik' and 'Hydrophonie', 'Notturno' was another 'serious' attempt at composing more electro-acoustic music, and Tietchens limits himself to using the (grand) piano, looping the sounds and filtering through sound effects and synths. To use loops as to the extent that Tietchens does is something that sets him aside from the regular musique concrete composers. Remastered.

Musically, the album is a combination of field recordings, drones, whispers, and sounds of different acoustic instruments. The purpose is to reveal the oneiric dark side of the surrounding world.

In December 2003, Sikhara came together with Bastard Noise (Wood / Wiese / Nelson line-up) for a studio session in Valencia, California. The two groups each created the groundwork for a track, which the other played over the top of, for a sort of duality in the composition. BN contributed a classic example of their "Caveman Electronics", combined with laptop manipulations. Sikhara leant a sense of identity to the tracks with a series of vocal collages, invoking a story to accompany the harsh sound beds of BN. Surgically mixed by sonic architect Kamilsky. A masterpiece of Harsh Noise!
"The doom sound is instantly recognisable, complete with rasping vocals - an ultra-heavy onslaught. That’s the known and well-explored ground. But from here, Batillus moves towards irresistible, heavy riffing psych, while Ryan Fairfield’s Hallowed Butchery project fires a pistol to transcend the mossy caves and to throw fits of shoegazing prog doom. This is a brilliant doom metal split—the Batillus side rules, because the American four-piece works so effectively and freshly within the known framework. The Hallowed Butchery side is even better because he does the same, and much more, transcending the confines of the genre" (Foxy Digitalis). Mastered by James Plotkin and beautifully packaged.

BIRCH BOOK - 'Fortune & Folly' LP (Ahnstern / Steinklang)
This classic Folk milestone was recorded on San Juan Island of the Pacific Northwest. "Fortune & Folly" is the fitting second volume of Birch Book (aka In Gowan Ring). Assuming the allegorical emblems of The Wheel of Fortune and The Traveling Fool, Fortune & Folly distill the introspections of a perennial rambler reckoning the Bitter and the Bliss of The Road Less Traveled. Drifting away from the overtly psychedelic, medieval, and soporific atmosphere which typified In Gowan Ring, Bee (Jon Michael Beirth) displays a more organic, individualistic approach to songwriting. Fortune & Folly blends elements of idiosyncratic folk-pop and outcast-country with brooding layers of sound and sense, yielding a spectral ethereality in a captivating chiaroscuro thick with the visionary allusions of a haunted wanderer. Ltd x 400 copies on black vinyl in a heavy gatefold cover, with 2 exclusive bonus tracks.

BIRDS BUILD NESTS UNDERGROUND & MY CAT IS AN ALIEN - 'Gramofonu = Voice Of The Universe' LP (Love Nest / Opax)
The first meeting of two improv acts, Prague-based turntable & 8mm band Birds Build Nests Underground and Italian psychedelic troubadours My Cat Is An Alien. Two different approaches to music make a sound that takes both from the unknown realms of the outer space and from the somehow-well-known world of old cracking records and the music and sounds on them. BBNU provided some of their live improvisations, MCIAA then chose those close to their hearts and laced them with sounds of guitars, space toys & ray guns, wordless singing and alientronics. Never has music of the spheres crackled so nicely. As if the whole galaxy lies on a giant turntable. The record starts with an exciting, ecstatic and excellent improvised speech by a Czech avant-garde poet V�tezslav Nezval who sees the whole world through his glass and the glass in the window of a recording studio.

BIRDS BUILD NESTS UNDERGROUND - 'So As' Enhanced CD (Lumberton Trading Company / Love Nest)
"So As" is the latest album by this prolific and inventive trio comprising of turntablists Petr Ferenc and Michal Brunclík and filmmaker Martin Ježek. Featuring four pieces and a film by Ježek lasting 10 minutes, this album witnesses BBNU not only honing the craft caught on their previous few releases and live sound but also pushing it into new places as well. The atmospherics and interstellar swirl of textures seen on their recent collaborative LP with My Cat Is An Alien serve as a great starting point to the quasi-dimensional blankets of abstract sound to be found at work here. Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak.
This CD was recorded in September 2010 at the Babí Léto ("Indian Summer") festival in Prague. Two rising stars of the Czech alternative scene! BBNU's track was created on turntables, manipulating the sound of vinyl records (percussion, classical music, marching etc), all perfectly looped and given the experimental treatment. The trio Ruinu used electronics, loops, vocals, trumpet, saxophone and clarinet to create original experimental music. Presented in a carton-slider.

BIRTH! - 'I Will' CD (Realicide Youth Records)

BIZARRE UPROAR - 'Liha-Evankeliumi' 3 x CD (Freak Animal)
2nd edition of the 2008 release with new artwork. Re-release of rare self-released 10 x 3" CDR set from this Finnish legend, originally produced in an edition of 50 copies. The material presented in this re-release in in its original untouched form, except for 2 bonus tracks on disc 3. All tracks are untitled and are heavy noise / Power Electronics, as to be expected. Comes in a double size jewelcase and includes a booklet with S/M pics.
After producing their frozen trilogy of intoxicated dronemuzik for the Agency, these Scandinavian gentlemen have ventured into more absurdist territories through fictionalised soundtracks for imagined Mondo films and science fiction serials. It is in this context that BJ Nilsen & Stilluppsteypa present the apparitional "Big Shadow Montana", an album of slow-motion delirium manifested in occluded smears, nocturnal gasps, and arcane tones from a variety of analogue synthesizers. A spiraling symphony of bubbling electronics and spectral drones that mutate on both sides of the record into lugubrious yet carnivalesque waltzes. A pyrrhic jubilation of calliope harmonies set down by organs and synths turning a pale-blue hue in the wake of all that white skin shivering underneath the arctic sky. Comes with a download code.
BJ Nilsen has been recording deep experimental music since the early 90’s with darkness as his best companion. He released legendary stuff for Cold Meat Industry as Morthound, which drifted into his Ash International and Touch works as Hazard and nowadays as BJ Nilsen. He is now focusing on the power of sound and the sound of nature and its effects on humans. London-based percussionist Z’EV is a true legend from the underground. He was one of the key operators of Industrial culture (1978-1984). The atmospheric impact of this collaboration is massive. Their genius is the power of drone and the beauty of trance. They build dark atmospheres that are at the same time disturbing, meditative and enjoyable. Digipak.

BLOOD AXIS - 'Born Again' 2 x LP (Storm)
Over the course of the 12 tracks which comprise their 2nd album, "Born Again", Blood Axis explores an epic yet human universe in which gods are summoned, kingdoms rise, riddles are unlocked, love is lost, and worlds crumble. Whereas early Blood Axis music was marked by keyboards and samples, Blood Axis in 2010 is stripped down to an essential core of natural instrumentation - electric and acoustic strings, melodeon, piano, highland bagpipes and Galician gaita, marching percussion, the mysterious Annabel-a-tron, and Bobby BeauSoleil's growling, prison-vintage guitar eruptions circa 1976. Underpinning the album and propelling much of the music is the traditional Irish bodhrán, recorded here with unprecedented power. Moynihan's ominous voice is well matched by Annabel Lee's elfin intonations, just as her violin finds a perfect counterpoint in Robert Ferbrache's protean guitar parts. Shot through by myth and romance, the expressive lyrics on "Born Again" have their roots in ancient and modern poetry, archaic invocations and tragic laments. Both unclassifiable and unforgettable: neither folk nor rock, traditional nor avant-garde, modern nor archaic, it is simply Blood Axis. To everything there is season. For those who are cursed, a time to die and to be forgotten. And for the blessed, a time to be born again: to live on, beyond death, in the minds of men.

I keep thinking to recognize the old Boy Dirt Car, but there is also strong memories of Impact Test [BDC member Darren Brown]. It's not easy to pin this down, but rock drone would come close I think.

BRAIN DONOR - 'Drain'd Boner' CD (Invada)
This album showcases 5 tracks of abandoned sludge trudge - a brutal mix of post punk style, No Wave and free proto-metal. If you enjoy music which evokes the sound of overly caffeined baby elephants slopping about in oily puddles, that have formed outside a former Soviet chemical factory, then this is the album for you. Formed in 1999 and fronted by bass player / singer Julian Cope and guitarist Doggen, the most dramatic change in the sound comes from new drummer Mr E, whose punctuating style of drumming echoes Sabbath's Bill Ward and Grand Funk's Don Brewer. This places greater emphasis on the rhythm section, in places even adding elements of brutal stop/start skank in the Jah Wobble period PIL tradition. File next to Comets On Fire.

BRIGHTER DEATH NOW - 'Breaking Down Nihil' 2 x CD (Der Angriff)
Recorded live during a short Russian tour in September 2009, these recordings are unique since the lineup was made of Russian artists and only Roger himself was a part of the common European live incarnation of BDN. The persons behind Anthesteria and LamiaVox joined him in Moscow, while the guys from Bardoseneticube and 414 were together with him on stage in St.Petersburg. The basic parts of the tracks were sent to them all in advance, so they prepared their own vision of this material, thus it was a pure conceived and well-organized collaboration. Both shows were recorded on multi-channel devices, then carefully mixed and mastered, so the final quality is close to the studio sound without losing any of the raw energy of live performance. The result is a very fresh and unexpected look on the well-known BDN compositions such as 'Innerwar', 'Pay Day' and 'Testing' which should be interesting not only for devoted followers of the project but for the wider audience of power electronics / death industrial fans. Ltd x 450 copies in a special embossed foldout envelope with cardboard inner sleeves.

BRIGHTER DEATH NOW - 'Very Little Fun' 4 x LP (Cold Meat Industry)
A box without tricks! No fillout material! No extras! No instrumental versions! No remixes! This is BRIGHTER DEATH NOW, and it's Very Little Fun. This material was recorded between 1998-2005, and is not just left-overs, but also the raw sound and direct result of a collapsing mental health! Yet, we cannot escape the fact that these 27 tracks are both of a fascinating and intriguing nature, but also that these utterly dark industrial cadaverous sounds will push your mood down to a risky level even for the more sane listener. Well, You have been warned! It is a dark depressive world painted with a gruesome black mind and a bleeding heart. This is what makes the sound of Roger Karmanik / Brighter Death Now so special and one-of-a-kind! Depression guaranteed!

BRION GYSIN - 'Live In London 1982' CD (Sub Rosa)
"Live In London 1982" is the Beat Generation revamped. Recorded in Brixton four years before the death of Beat legend, this live set features Gysin reciting poems from the late '50s and early '60s, accompanied by a makeshift no wave backing band consisting of Slits bassist Tessa Pollitt (also on cello), Rip Rig Panic, drummer Steve Noble, Penguin Cafe Orchestra percussionist Gile and guitarist Ramuntcho Matta. Most of the texts were written upon meeting Burroughs, at the time of the invention of the cut-up. The influence that Brion Gysin has had on contemporary music may never be taken fully into account. The music is resolutely avant rock: dissonant, provocative, and largely improvised. Gysin called this session "White Funk". Live in London 1982 is an interesting document, which will appeal to connoisseurs of William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin's legacy.

BURIAL HEX - 'Book Of Delusions' CD (Cold Spring CSR166CD)
During the period in which Clay Ruby first began working on this piece of art, he had become so completely surrounded by evil and deception that he was forced to begin summoning a particularly extreme and ancient force of protection and vitality just to make it alive through the end of 2008. Aside from spiritually fortifying Ruby's life, the complexities of these new elemental entities brought with them circumstances causing a much more rich and intense recording experience than he could have ever composed on his own. Classic horror electronics and post-industrial apocalyptic soundscapes with unsettling notes, anguished cries and voices of the dead. His most ritualistic album yet. Reissue of the extremely limited LP with bonus tracks taken from the split LPs with ZOLA JESUS and KINIT HER, all available on CD for the first time! All tracks have been carefully remastered.
“In Psychic Defense” is the latest work of Burial Hex. With this record Burial Hex faces a new chapter in his music where noise, post-punk, a wise use of the rhythm, experimental wave and dark melodies match together in a perfect balance. The record is elaborated as a protection spell in psychic self-defense, and the lyrics are from an old hymn to the Archangel Michael, always seen as a leader and protector of the faithful. This one sided also confirms the collaboration between Clay Ruby and Troy Schafer, who wrote and performed all the bass and guitar parts. Single-sided vinyl (21mins of music). Ltd x 300 copies in a hand silkscreened sleeve. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - ACT FAST!

BURNING STAR CORE - 'WSBC/SSS' 10 " (NO-FI)
The second in the series of super-limited 10”s from cincinnati’s basement noise terrorist C. Spencer Yeh. Where "Amelia" showed Yeh’s sensitive side, "WSBC/SSS" goes straight for the jugular with pure distorted punk noise, all rampant high end and a growling analogue core. However what sets Yeh away from so many of his contemporaries is that beneath all the hellish distortion and crushing doom is a sense of harmony and pastoral perfection. It’s not often in noise music that you get this kind of intense-yet-measured collision, but Yeh manages to pull it off magnificently resulting in a 10” which crosses genre boundaries in the most punk-rock fashion imaginable.

" the music brought a flood of memories surging forth that I had long thought lost. It took me back to those times when ambient music was so pure, and so true".

C.M. VON HAUSSWOLFF - 'Perhaps / Arrive' 2 x CD (Auf Abwegen)
This 2CD set includes some of the most unusual sounds you will have heard from Carl Michael von Hausswolff. He was chosen by the 1997 Istanbul Biennal to create a sound installation for Atatürk Airport. His classic sound (low frequency rumblings, monotonous oscillations and hissy non-narrative sequences) was deemed too confusing for the commutors. It was feared that his sound installation might be mistaken for an alarm and could cause serious panic at the airport. Hence the original soundtrack for “Perhaps/ /Arrive” was rejected. This music can now be heard for the first time on disc 1. Von Hausswolff’s response to the artistic restrictions was to produce the four tracks you hear on the second disc. These only make use of the very basic pre-set sounds included in the Yamaha QY22 and show a new side to the von Hausswolff sound. Very simple, post-nuclear lounge music. These four tracks were used in the context of the Biennal exhibition. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak, with artwork by Akifumi Nakajima (Aube).

CAGES - 'Folding Space' CD (Cold Spring CSR121CD)
The shaking notes that make up "Folding Space" were recorded by two people holed up in their whole respective imaginations of visions of loops, layers and pleading lyrics. They sought sounds from the same dreams that give fools belief and colourfully punctuate the nights of the sanest. There are elements of dreamy ether and discomfort rather than the easy choruses and catchphrases of the most collected and consumed art form. The visions backing this elaborate music were recorded and are performed for a primary reason: to exist freely. An hour of music set in studios buried by blizzards of the American Great Lakes region.

CAMERATA MEDIOLANENSE - 'MDXXX' CD (Creative Fields Rec.)
With the same spirit as the Renaissance and Baroque cameratas, Camerata Mediolanense (from Mediolanum, the ancient name for Milano) expresses a creative and experimental musical activity deeply-rooted in the present but it also casts back at "the ancients" its admired look. Camerata goes on exploring the outdated world of pure melodiousness, which is though still full of charm and resources: in this respect, the academic background of some of its members facilitates the awareness of the expressive potentialities and of the aesthetical dimension of singing. Camerata Mediolanense gives considerable importance to research and experimenting both in composing and in the live dimension; it does not reject exploration, which can become extreme, though always on an expressive purpose. This becomes evident in its not so frequent performances, where the combination of the various members creates a power of sound, a performing ability and an evocative quality which rendered Camerata Mediolanense's concerts pure events.

CHANGES - 'Lament' CD (Hau Ruck!)
From Changes' inception, R. N. Taylor and Nicholas Tesluk have woven bardic tales of gallantry, chivalry and of larger-than-life legendary and mythical heroes. They've sung of new love, love unrequited and love lost. They've written songs foretelling a dark apocalyptic future, which later came to pass while currently prophesying a society in the seminal stages of an even darker fate. With their new album, "Lament", they turn their gaze inward, to their own personal apocalypses, stemming from their long marriages ending in dismal dissolution. Only by being able to immerse themselves in their art and create works expressing these sorrows would they be able to maintain their sanity. "Lament" reaches out to all who've had their lives disrupted by modern societal partners going through mid-life crises, becoming antagonistic strangers to their families overnight. Also included are new versions of three of Changes' earlier works; "The Saddest Thing", "Sweet Eve" and "Memorabilia". 13 tracks of Folk Noir.

CHRIS CONNELLY AND THE BELLS - 'Blonde Exodus / The Ultimate Seaside Companion' 2 x CD (Dream Catcher)
"Blonde Exodus is a huge step forward from Connelly's last solo album, the plodding Ultimate Seaside Companion. Here his sound is more fully realized and less self-consciously artistic there are still layers of strings and acoustic guitars, but the mix is leavened by muscular beats, and the derivative nature of his singing (think Nick Cave crossed with David Bowie) is less distracting in the context of these more interesting arrangements. After a bizarre spoken word throwaway ("Generique"), the album gets off to a rousing start with the bruising but pretty "London Fields." "Diamonds Eat Diamonds" is lyrically lumpy, shot through with indigestible lines like "I saw your precious mania diving for pearls/And swan dive like Icarus into the underworld," but "Twilight Shiner," with its chiming guitar and hummable chorus, hits the spot nicely. So far, Connelly has made his best music as a member of the Damage Manual, and some will remember his 1980s work with Ministry with twisted fondness. But this album makes a case for him as a solo artist worth watching". (AMG)

CISFINITUM - 'Tactio' CD (Mechanoise Labs)
'Tactio' is the live recording of a Cisfinitum concert at the St. Peter's Cathedral in Bremen, November 24, 2005. The highly favourable acoustics of this environment were consistently used not only as an enhancing effect but as an integral foundation for the performance, making it unmistakeably tied to its context. Presented in the form of six continuous tracks, the album is a contemplative composition of vibrant drones, reverberating bells and synthesized resonance, gracefully evolving from the celestial tones of its start to the tellurian pulses of its climax. This is a piece of work that is elaborate in its simplicity, and it's with much appreciation that it is presented here today. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.
CISFINITUM / THE [LAW-RAH] COLLECTIVE - '[ANS]werk' CD (Fario)
Dark Ambient masters Cisfinitum and The [Law-Rah] Collective dedicated this split and common work to one of the very first synthesizers in the world, the ANS. The ANS, created by Russian engineer E. Murzin, is an incredible response to the synesthesia theories (the letters ANS stand for Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin who linked tones to colours). The ANS (only one copy exists and is kept in Moscow) generates special frequencies from drawings and can also create a visible image of a sound frequency. Artists such as Coil, Edward Artemiev (for Tarkovsky's "Solaris" soundtrack) and Alfred Schnittke used the ANS in their compositions. For this album, The [Law-Rah] Collective and Cisfinitum based their music on original sounds from the ANS as well as additional recordings of various analog synths, fractal and granular synthesis, voice, violin, field recordings. They give birth to an intense cold and grey music upon which fly ghosts of melodies, archaic or yet to come. A5 sleeve.

COLIN POTTER & THE HAFLER TRIO - 'A Pressed On Sandwich' CD (Nextera)
In 2003, shortly after attending The Hafler Trio performance in Preston called 'How To Slice A Loaf Of Bread', Colin Potter suggested that the two should work together. With McKenzie being in Iceland and Potter being in Preston, a tête-à-tête was not easy. Andrew McKenzie mailed Potter the original source material for the concert, which he happily reworked into 'A Pressed On Sandwich', creating a dark, detailed soundworld that shows off both musicians' approach to drone atmospherics. The CD is packed in special paper wallet with silver print, and is released in an edition of 1010 copies, with the usual exceptional artwork from McKenzie. A solid addition to both The Hafler Trio and Colin Potter discographies.

COLLAPSAR - 'Beyond The Event Horizon' CD (Malignant Records)
Malignant presents another rising star within the dark ambient scene, this time in the form of French act Collapsar. With their debut CD, Collapsar transports the listener on an epic journey deep into the cosmos, forging a path across a vast, inky void, and steering a course around a roiling galactic core of hyper-dense stars and black holes. The sound is epic, expansive, and most of all, HEAVY. There is beauty and tranquility within these realms, but there is no light - just massive, pulsating textures coalescing into shimmering drones, rippling sound waves, and billowing, multi-dimensional layers of powerful dark energy. “Beyond the Event Horizon” is without question, dark ambient in its purest form and one of the more genre defining releases of the last several years. A must for fans of Inade, Lustmord etc. In 6 panel digipak, with design by eyelyft.

COMPOUND EYE - 'Origin Of Silence' LP (The Spring Press)
"Origin Of Silence" is the first release by Compound Eye, a long-standing collaboration between Drew McDowall (ex-Coil and Psychic TV) and Tres Warren (Psychic Ills and Messages). These electronic based experimentations employ automatic composition, drone and musique concréte to create subterranean explorations on the nature of signals and time. "This one sort of takes off on a post-Time Machines / Eternal Music vibe but with an exacting minimalist logic that would locate distant Morse Code tones and blurry EVP sightings on the very fringes of liminality. There are vague, nagging melodies that could almost come out of the Goblin / Suspiria song book alongside long passages of single tone narcosis that feel like transports to the other side. The whole recording has that indefinable / occult atmosphere that marked out the more exploratory Coil sides. A beautifully spooked modern minimalist classic, highly recommended." (David Keenan).

CONTEMPLATRON - 'Delog' CD (Wrotycz)
Second release from this Polish dark ambient act. The DELOG experience is extraordinary, marvellous, even within the esoteric context of Tibetan Buddhism. The Tibetan word DELOG refers to one who has crossed the threshold of death and returned to tell about it. The person who is recognised as DELOG lays without any sign of breath, pulse or body warmth for many days. During that his or her mind journeys to other realms of experience: the pure display of enlightened mind as well as existence within samsaric delusion and ignorance.

There is no atonement here, nor redemption offered. Just cold, jarring currents of massively built power electronics and horror filled death industrial, full of clamoring factory debris, razor sharp sheets of sonic violence, and grisly metallic grind, rounded out with Garrison's trademark vocal devastation.

CONTROL - 'Natural Selection' CD (Eibon Records)
2003 album from this legendary U.S. Power Electronics / Harsh Noise unit, headed by Thomas Garrison (Exsanguinate member and label boss of Misanthrope Studio). Concrete and abrasive songs, consuming and devastating sounds, evolving and mutating noise. You're your aspirins at hand. "Natural Selection" has a direct approach with "in-your-face" PE cuts. CONTROL is here to crush you. Superb album presented in a digifile.
CONTROL - 'The Means To An End' CD (Eibon Records)
Redefining the concept of aural aggression. Structured, multi-layered, hyper-complex Power Noise. Sharp like a surgical scalpel and powerful like a demolition hammer, the music of Thomas Garrison's Control adds a new meaning to the abused "Power Electronics" definition. The only good way to describe "The means to an end"? A fierce beast constrained (temporarily...) in a steel cage, far too small to contain its natural aggressiveness. The cage won't last forever...

CONTROL UNIT - 'The Fugitives' LP (Backwards)
The mighty New York guitarist Ninni Morgia, usually devoted to experimental, improv, free-jazz and avant-garde, turns himself for this occasion into a real Industrial musician, together with his companion Silvia Kastel, a young multi-instrumentalist and vocalist with a strong attitude for the bleak and jarring sounds from the first industrial music wave. "The Fugitives" sounds like a perfect car-crash between the early US and English industrial scenes, influenced by 'great Industrial music from 1978' (Factrix, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire). Four intense episodes of pure madness, obscure and sensual at the same time, thanks to Morgia's devastating technique and delirious strings, and Kastel's hypnotic groans, biting screams and caustic, powerful synthetic raids. Ltd x 250 copies with handmade, silkscreened sleeve.
Legendary album from Industrial / Noise pioneers Controlled Bleeding (Joe Papa, Paul Lemos, Chris Moriarty). A retrospective of sorts, bringing together their original harshness and violence with their later rich melodic minimalism, coherently covering 5 years of the group's early history (1983-85), dating back to "Knees And Bones". All tracks are either previously unreleased or from out-of-print releases. Includes the harsh noise classic 'Swallowing Scrap Metal'.

CONURE - 'Strings, Locations' CD (Edgetone Records)
With "Strings, Locations", Conure begins intimate, then discreetly leaves us stranded in a vast labyrinth. Sharp, specific washes of analogue electronic tones give the listener an audio architecture within which to navigate. The twisting sounds of ringing tones, discordant guitar accents and feedback lumber through this architectural terrain, sometimes like a monster without direction and other times like delicate intentional creatures holding ground in the middle of a vortex. Whatever this beast is, we are given an audio map of a terrain for which there is no way out. An exciting combination of harsh sounds mixed with delicate an intentional placement. One cannot exit this piece without feeling that they were witness to some narrative only half understood. It is the sound of a city’s architecture evolving from a past to a future as an abstract mystery is made audible.
It’s hardly news to any connoisseur of Industrial music that Coph Nia like to cover songs. So far they’ve transformed The Leather Nun’s punk anthem “Prime Mover” into a brooding, industrial soundscape, and made songs by artists as diverse as Front 242, Bauhaus, Arthur Brown and The Rolling Stones their own. Coph Nia have decided to take the demon by the horns, and tried to exorcise the Cover Demon before it consumes them. The result is this collection of Coph Nia-fied covers including Ozzy Osbourne’s ”Mr Crowley”, “Black Sabbath” by the band of the same name, “Sick Things” by Alice Cooper and “Levitation” by psychedelic space rockers Hawkwind.

By agreement with Space Services Inc. a copy of "Celestis" CD will be launched in space on board of the rocket with ashes of 179 people from different countries and will be the official soundtrack for the memorial "Legacy" flight. Musically "Celestis" fundamentally differs from their previous works - real old-school atmospheres using vintage devices.

CYCLOTIMIA - 'Sci-Fi Music (Soundtrack To A Nonexistent Movie)' CD (Shadowplay Release / Zhelezobeton / Monopoly Records)
As the title suggests, the new work by the Russian masters of electronic soundscapes represents a score to an imaginary sci-fi movie. The musicians are admirers of old-school Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk genres and for a long time they have felt a desire to make some music inspired by soundtracks of sci-fi blockbusters from 1970-80s... Spaceship battles, alien colonies, teleportation and mysterious droid ceremonies are only part of the images created by this music. The album contains both dynamic rhythmic "hits" and disturbing space ambient as well as avant-garde neoclassical pieces. Ltd x 500 copies.
"Styx" is the most mainstream work in the Cyclotimia discography. The music is free of their usual experimental and academic explorations; here the emphasis is made on the rhythms. Eleven compositions depict the sickly technogenic reality of the planet wrapped by networks of global capital, media glamour and ideological obsessions. In ancient Greek mythology the Styx was the embodiment of primeval dread and gloom, from which the first living creatures emerged. This was a personification of the underworld river whose pestilent currents seclude life from death. Similarly to this mythic river, currents of credits, percent, funds, financial quotations, capital issues, barrels of oil and advertising spaces flow on the Cyclotimia album to the accompaniment of hard, sterile and atmospheric electronic music. Recommended for fans of Skinny Puppy, Clock DVA, Laibach, Front Line Assembly. Ltd x 500 copies.
"TimeBank" is a collection of exclusive unreleased compositions recorded by Cyclotimia from 2003-2007. A post-industrial "dish" containing cyber jazz and IDM, neoclassical and trademark technological ambient, old-school electronics and atmospheric new age, experimental and much more. Despite the seeming stylistic incompatibility the band has succeeded in creating an album with a spectacular plot similar to a good Hollywood thriller. A special jewel on the album is the track 'Nocturne' combining aerial melodies and uneasy sonic cinematography. Also worth mentioning is the "live" 10-minute prog-industrial suite "Economic Meditation", imbued with psychedelic drama. Ltd x 500 copies.
DALINA - 'Cold Mysteries...' CD (Casus Belli Musica)

Imagine yourself sitting at nighttime in a snow-swept cabin, watch a trembling candle and listening to ancient tales of the outside world. Ltd x 500 copies.
"Europa Diary" will be a surprise to many who know the previous work of Damien Dubrovnik, but to the people who have experienced any of the few live shows during the last year, this is a very natural evolution.

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.

DAWN & DUSK ENTWINED - 'Vanitas Vanitatum' CD (Twilight Records)
Re-release of "Vanitas Vanitatum", originally issued on Aube Et Crépuscule (2007, Ltd x 99). Six songs of decadent and gloomy atmospheres, now with three exclusive new versions of songs originally featured on “The Hikimori songs” 10". The revered French project Dawn & Dusk Entwined follows its uncompromising path of heavily atmospheric and dynamic soundscapes, mixing cinematic dark ambience with forceful, at times martial, rhythms, neofolk nuances and strong orchestration, carefully avoiding the clichés of all those styles. In an era where man was placed at the center of creation, vanities paintings in the 16-17th century were meant to recall him his mortal fate and greater values, God at the time, than human pretension, consumerism, cheap entertainment... Maybe now it's questioning time again? Digipak.

DEAD MAN'S HILL - 'Spirits' Enhanced CD (Steinklang)
Dark and deep-droning Ambient, mixed with strong and powerful Martial songs, varied with hypnotically mesmerising tribal parts. The whole album has a strong Death Industrial touch and even carries some Gregorian elements. Listen to this album and let yourself be taken away to an intangible world, to far away spheres where things are just different to all you ever expected. "Spirits" includes a video for the track "Road to Sweet Waters", made by Hugin (Uruk-Hai). Slimline DVD case.
"A three-track EP which belches out some of the most ghost-ridden, wasted, slow and obnoxious guitar punk rock you could ever hope to hear outside of that sector of Hades reserved exclusively for rock stars maudits. Astonishingly, these coarse and corruptive anthems of caustic horror all seem to have begun life as cover versions, including one of a Hank Williams song. Although there’s been a lot of post-modernist water under the bridge since The Residents released their all-time murderous butchery version of ‘Satisfaction’ by The Stones, Dead Raven Choir come close to capturing some of that same gloriously poisonous nihilism" (The Sound Projector). This is one of the last ever releases from Dead Raven Choir (aka Smolken of Wolfmangler). Ltd x 300 copies on red / black marbled vinyl in a heavy PVC sleeve.

DER TOD & DAS MADCHEN - 'D-Moll' CD (Lichterklang)
Der Tod & Das Mädchen started out in 2009. Their debut album "d-Moll“ is a musical anthology of long forgotten lyricists, harking back to the death of Goethe. The elegies, all evolving from the 19th century, reveal the sadness and the pain of the loss of close relatives. Melancholy and transience, deathwish and madness, dream and reality crystallise themselves out of these thoughts and build the centre of "d-Moll“. Inspired by componists of the romantic times, the extict poetry is mainly based on the dark and melancholic tunes of a piano. The closing words by the German imperator Wilhelm II. from 1904 build the end of the album, questioning the human arrogance with his words "the world is so big and we are so small, how come that we expect to circle everything around us?".

DRAKH - 'Bethlehem' CD (Essence Music)
One third of the cult post-industrial Swedish legends MZ.412, one half of the amazing experimental act Beyond Sensory Experience and Nordvargr’s long running loyal partner on classic endeavors - including the abyssal black ambient duo Nordvargr/Drakh. While mostly known for his demonic, truly Swedish guitar interventions on the MZ.412 or N/D pitch black ambiences, "Bethlehem" finds Jonas Aneheim walking through slow, quasi-harmonic, subtle, yet thick drone fields weaving elaborate and unexpected damaged electronic rhythms and harsh, crackling ambient textures that can become at the same time both delicate and haunting, warm and freezing, to finally drown in a sea of reverb, glacial riffing and distortion on his own shadowy interpretation of the city of Bethlehem. Ominous sonic vistas and pallets truly honor the charming aura and tradition of the bleakest Swedish sounds. Ltd x 400 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve with photography by Seldon Hunt.
Dreddup is an industrial, machine, dynamic and energetic project from Serbia. Their truly apocalyptic lyrics touch on subjects such as time, transience and existence. 'El Conquistadors' gives you 70 minutes of hardcore, dynamic industrial/rock music similar in fashion to Einst�rzende Neubauten, The Young Gods, or Laibach. It is their third album, and it constitutes the last part of the trilogy preoccupied with the notion of time. 'El Conquistadors' tells a story of the here and now and of the boundaries of the human soul. A cry from the Balkans, a manifesto of the realm of machines, dust and rust.

ECHRAN - 'In Offret' CD (A Silent Place)
Echran is the project of Davide Del Col (Molnija Aura), teaming up with Fabio Volpi, who has worked over the last few years with the Milanese audio / video collective Otolab. Starting in 2003, the project joins two different kinds of experiences: one is gloomy ambient oriented, the other is more noise-based with a psychedelic attitude. Echran's dark electronic soundscapes are not that easy to pigeonhole: there's a constant metronome-like pulse which could be compared to Pan Sonic or some minimal techno, but at the same time isn't really ambient or droning.
Norway, 1994. Lasse Marhaug has yet to start working under his own name. An obscure short lived project just before that, titled Egoproblem, releases one 20 minute tape and performs one live gig.

ERIC LUNDE - 'A World Of Hurt In The Kingdom Of God' CD (HCB Records)
The new admonishment from Eric Lunde (Boy Dirt Car). "A World Of Hurt In The Kingdom Of God" derives its name from a series of engravings Lunde did in 2004, the original title being "A World of Hurt in the Kingdom of Gosh". It is primarily a product of the concerns Lunde has (and expressed in his book "Prison Sex", from which the majority of the text on this album is taken from) with the latent cruelty of humans in regards to their alleged relationship with a fabricated supernatural being and how is it that religious people have to prove nothing, but the atheist ones have to prove everything. So what's there to be found in Lundes' dragnet this time regarding these issues? A dish of sober mischief noise served cold, bubonic industrial and irate sound poetry created in the detrimental corners of the mind where the proof reproduces the intimate bonds of brutality that men create between themselves.

"3 years have passed since 'Epistemological Despondency' and Esoteric return with a more mature, but still very dark and psychedelic release. The very depressive, melancholic intro of the first track, suggests that those guys are actually familiar with the concept "melody", although they don't apply it too often. Doom fans that are only familiar with the works of bands like My Dying Bride and Anathema, may think after those first five minutes that Esoteric have a sound similar to those bands... But after those five minutes they'll probably get scared the hell out of them. The familiar Esoteric chaos returns, with a plethora of vocal, bass and guitar effects, extremely tortured, intelligible death grunts and hysterical screams and an overall atmosphere that reminds all too much of a bad trip."

ESTHER VENROOY & HELEEN VAN HAEGENBORGH - 'Mock Interiors' CD (Entr'Acte)
Electronic composer Esther Venrooy and pianist Heleen Van Haegenborgh’s collaboration explores the synergy of acoustic piano with electronics and digital sound processing. Their compositions aim to draw the listener into the inner workings of the piano. Employing a battery of microphones, resonating elements and tiny inaudible mechanical sounds are captured, manipulated and magnified through electronic means, resulting in fragile textures where the boundaries between electronic and acoustic sound become blurred. Ltd x 300 copies in the usual Entr'Acte heat-sealed sleeve.
Singular work from this Dutch-born Belgian composer who isolates elements from The Conet Project’s macabre collection of secret shortwave "number stations" and assembles them in massively brooding late night dronescapes, repeat tone clusters and flashes of phantom electricity. Something supremely disconcerting about the mechanised voices and occult number calls and put in this context the whole piece takes on a bizarre / surreal almost Nurse With Wound air. 'Shift Coordinate Points' refers to an excerpt from William Burrough's novel 'Nova Express. Edition of 300 copies.

"This third album sees Ethereal continuing the evolutionary trajectory they initiated with "In the Forest of Arden", which led them here towards an even heavier sound. Yet, while we hear rumbling frequencies and a rhythmical approach that are commonly associated with Death Metal, this duo retain their characteristically Doomy and melancholic sound, offering plenty of sorrowful harmonic melody and keyboard-driven magic. I am reminded at times of Decomposed, although Ethereal Woods is musically richer and more classically-influenced. The nature, mysticism and sylvan fantasy themes present in their previous two albums take here an explicitly Elizabethan turn. �One is inevitably reminded of the sensibilities of a Sir Philip Sidney, although Blackmetalised and in much simplified form"�(AK-47).

EYELESS IN GAZA - 'Summer Salt & Subway Sun' CD (Ambivalent Scale)
Originally, the intention was to put together a double album, centering around an escalated excitement with the idea of cities as new, blank texts – contrasted with the kind of sense of alienation and loss evoked in such works as J.G. Ballard’s Concrete Island. "Summer Salt & Subway Sun" works as a kind of survival or synthesis of these ideas. It neatly encapsulates two key aspects of the music Eyeless in Gaza (Martyn Bates & Peter Becker) are presently creating - a balance of atmospheric / acoustic material and sprawling, rhythmic / semi-improvised spidery electric pieces. This has resulted in a blend of song based material juxtaposed with a distinctive brand of kaleidoscopic, “cityscaping” filmic music.

FEAR FALLS BURNING - 'Dead Of Night' 7" (Dot Dot Dot Music)
Founded in 2005 as an exercise in minimalism and as a conscious counterpoint to the refined complexity of vidnaObmana, Fear Falls Burning has gradually turned into a musical meditation on purity and subdued power. As part of this transformation, the guitar has evolved from a mere instrument into a veritable shamanic tool for trance. In a sense, Dirk Serries, who has held a deep fascination for the subtle power of drone music ever since embarking on his personal odyssey in 1984, is returning to his roots here: FFB presents listeners with a primevally physical experience that is in turns contemplative, rhythmically agitated and thunderous.

On this album Dirk Serries (Vidna Obmana) blends his drone spectrum with slow repetitive drums (with drummers such as Tim Bertilsson / Switchblade and Magnus Lindberg / Cult of Luna), and additional guitar layers, manifesting a work of mysterious landscapes of ghostly echoes and whispered guitars, long stretches of blissy drift and dark washes of distorted hiss...

FILIVS MACROCOSMI / CHARADRIIFORM - 'Ex Vivo' CD (A5 Production)
One long collaborative dark ambient / drone track from two Ukrainian projects. "Since the beginning of time mankind has been fascinated by Space. In 1961, the technical genius of Soviet scientists proved that man can master the cosmos. But how many people think about the fact that in addition to the celebrations, glory and indescribable feelings, a flight beyond Earth may bring pain, suffering, madness? In our work Ex Vivo (Lat. "from life"), we would like to reveal all the faces of flights, which are not talked about - loneliness, isolation from the usual things, the incredible closeness of death and an endless cold abyss of the universe, which stares at an astronaut. We have tried to convey and express the feelings that a person experiences at start of the machine and to the point where he can no longer distinguish the picture generated by his imagination from reality. The tranquility that ends the album in any case should not be understood as an obituary. It is rather a hymn of praise to the birth of a man who understood and took for himself a place that was defined for him by the universe." Ltd x 500 copies in a clear clamshell case.

FIRE IN THE HEAD - 'As The Nest Burns' CD (Autarkeia)
"As The Nest Burns” is an album about the darkest depths of psychosis, about the delusions and actions over which one has no control when entrenched in a manic state and the nightmares from which some never awaken. It is an album born in the blackest of times, to be listened to in the blackest of times. With this recording F/I/T/H experiments with new arsenal of sounds and techniques adding a heavily psychedelic edge to his mix of noise / power electronics / drone.

FIRE IN THE HEAD - 'Confessions Of A Narcissist' CD (Cold Spring CSR120CD)
"Confessions Of A Narcissist" marks the final full-length release by Fire In The Head ending six years of sonic warfare with an assault of manic, self-indulgent industrial electronics. Drawing as much influence from early punk / hardcore as from industrial / power electronics, F/I/T/H was conceived as a cathartic outlet to explore and ratify the delusions and social perversions resultant of psychosis and the darker side of man's conflicted dual nature, to fan the flames which engulf the borders between obsession, compulsion, lust and need. The tracks on this release were recorded in 2007-2008 and are the last of the "short, sharp, shock" vocal tracks which Michael abandoned in favour of "epic" length industrial / ambient compositions. Features guest appearances from Nick Blinko (Rudimentary Peni) and J. Randall (Agoraphobic Nosebleed), with exclusive artwork from Blinko.

Shargey belongs to a cohort of scientists who were the first to foresee the conquering of space. They were great, yet mocked-at, dreamers and had to fight against all odds twice as hard. Shargey is a recognised space theoretic of unique unconventional genius, yet passed away in 1942 - a generation before Apollo.

FJERNLYS - 'Ascending Triads & Luminous Arcs’ 2 x CD (Loki Foundation)
Behind this project hides one of Inade's masterminds - Knut Enderlein. On this first disc, the songs layer cosmic and synthetic sounds and go on tracing according to the principle harmony in the music, their acoustic space feeling very expansive. The voices creep crosswise into sounds and effects to lunar spheres and solar places. The five remixes and interpretations of ANTLERS MULM, BAD SECTOR, FIRST LAW and LOVESPELL on the second disc support the complex character of the whole release and expand the into a new style of Ambient songs. More 'song' based than Inade, Fjernlys reminds of fellow Loki act Predominance. Presented in a double jewel case with a very nice slipcase to finish.
FJERNLYS - 'Beyond The Undulant Quiescence' CD (Loki Foundation)
Fjernlys is Knut Enderlein (INADE). This album contains 10 epic tracks to reach far beyond trepidation and tranquility, it's not only welcoming with open arms but captivating slowly the listener and remaining breathless till the last sound. "Beyond The Undulant Quiescence" unifies the opposites when the frostiness of the synthesizer sound and the warmth of the melodies are melting one another. The spectrum ranges from melancholic piano compositions to complex and superior song structures with an open commitment to slow motion. In every track there is a cryptic sparkling which is always shimmering but almost stays in the background. It's the multi-layered arrangement in each track which is constantly changing the colours and feature a cinematic coarseness in an audible way. 6-panel digisleeve.
Flatlands (with 2 tracks) are seriously heavy in a stripped-down Isis style, with monolithic, catchy riffs crashing into each other and plenty of screaming. Sunshine Republic (with 1 long track) are on a more experimental tip, reminiscent of House Of Low Culture, though there are elements of doom, post-rock and noise in the mix too. The LP is limited to 330 copies and is presented on heavy grey vinyl and comes with acetate inserts. Offensive and difficult in equal measure.

The second release by Flim (Enrico Wuttke) for Plinkity Plonk. "Flim's music is full of deep sadness. The liner notes explain that the music was composed as an attempt to cope with the loss of a child, trying to find a balance between hope and frustration. To create his music Flim makes use of piano, organ and thoughtful computer processing. Often just single notes are struck on the piano; they keep on resonating and then slowly fade before the next note is played... Other tracks are more drone-related, with acoustic sounds stretched out into warm, hovering fields... a point where pain and beauty converge in fragile and intimate music... Flim's music is full of sadness, but... there is also a stretch of light on the horizon, a short dreamy melody to be discovered here and there just below the surface" [Vital Weekly].

FRAKMUNDT - 'Heiwehland' CD (Steinklang)
Sixteen unique, expressive and headstrong songs grant the listener a passionate glimpse of the Alpine areas of inner Switzerland. On “Heiwehland”, accordion, guitars, hurdy-gurdy, bass, flutes, and the percussion contributed by Merlin (Eluveitie) blend together to form the unique and unconventional Swiss Ur-Folk. The varied songs in Swiss Alemannic dialect take you to a more than one hour long journey into the heart of the alps. They speak of historic events, tragic tales, frightening creatures, strange events, mysterious beings and the melancholic longing for a beautiful homeland that is disappearing in its original form but also about its outlasting beauty. As on the previous album “Urbärglieder”, traditional songs are reinterpreted and of course the comical and humorous elements have their place.

FRAKMUNDT - 'Urbarglieder' CD (Percht)
Amazing and unique debut CD of the Swiss Ur-Folk project Fräkmündt, born out of the idea to revive old sagas and nearly forgotten songs and atmospheres of the alpine regions of Switzerland. Performed in alemannic central-Swiss dialect, the songs on "Urbärglieder" simulate a journey through landscapes of the quaint regions of Switzerland. They let you chase through stormwinds with the wild hunt at mount Pilatus or stroll under the paintings of the danse macabre over the Spreuerbridge in Lucerne. One can meet the devil in the Schöllenen gorge and follow the alpine herdsmen during their sad walk down to the valleys in autumn. The album is alternated by two sound-accentuated sagas and two atmospheric pieces, letting one share the horrors of the ghost-house in Stans and the mythical ambiance inside the Mondmilchloch cave. On "Urbärglieder" acoustic guitars, accordion, violin, flutes and various percussion instruments generate melancholic melodies full of nostalgia, but also rousing hymns which invite to dance. With "Urbärglieder" a piece of extraordinary Ur-Folk music was born, telling in its very own way the stories that are almost forgotten. Features cz (Vinterriket, Atomtrakt, Nebelkorona etc). Deluxe digipak with 16 page booklet.
"Uufwärts e d’Föuse" (Upward to the rocks) is a conceptual album which takes the listener on an imposing musical journey to untouched Alpine areas. As on "Urbärglieder" all tracks are presented in the typical Fräkmündt Central-Swiss alemannic dialect. After an "Alp-Blessing" ("Aupsääge"), the journey upwards is visualised using acoustic guitars, accordion, drums, hurdy-gurdy melodies and flute. The nighttime track “Höttehock” is a swinging and wild traditional dancing track with a catchy accordion melody and nice acoustic guitars. The last track "Stouz ond frey" (proud and free) is a devotional and powerful song with profound hurdy-gurdy, rhythmic guitar melodies and catchy accordion tunes. The MCD ends with a Dark Alpine Ambient track called "Bärgtröim" (Mountain Dreams) which smoothly leads the listener back to the valley. A varied 27-minute piece of extraordinary Ur-Folk music, which perfectly describes the mystic and legendary Alpine areas. Outsize sleeve.

FRANCISCO LOPEZ & RICHARD FRANCIS - 'BromBron 14: In De Blaauwe Hand' CD (Korm Plastics)
Francisco López (Spain) and Richard Francis (New Zealand) have created "in de blaauwe hand" upon invitation from Extrapool for a brief working residency in Nijmegen, to develop a collaboration piece for the Brombron CD series. Working with very small seed source sound samples that were exchanged between them, two intermingling compositional paths unfolded in two parallel small studios. In a short (but very intense) period of time a whole world of very delicate and subtle materials arose. The hour-long track merges without mix a dreamy geography of subtleties and complex organicities that is more the result of aesthetic affinities than pre-structured plan. In that sense, this is a composition born from the sound themselves, following the paths indicated by them. Presented in a card-slip-sleeve.

In November 2005, Frans de Waard (Beequeen) spent a week recording and composing on location in the small Dutch town of Vlissingen. A Marine shipyard is located in the centre of the town, but has closed due to regeneration of the area. As part of an exhibition '[Mijn] Domein', Frans De Waard was asked to reflect on this transition. He recorded the remaining activities in the building, where so called 'profiles' are made for use in shipbuilding. In this musical piece things move from hectic and busy (in the first profile) to emptiness (in the fifth profile), although it's one piece. Using mainly recordings made on site of elevators, metal cutting and room ambience, this piece is a strong work of field recordings with minor electronic processing.

Highly conceptual project that combines features of remix, recycling and plagiarism - the re-interpretation of classic album by Asmus Tietchens “Daseinsverfehlung”. All that can be heard on this CD, as always in case of Frans de Waard framework, is made from music that already existed: every sound, word in titles and even the cover picture - all is just processing and manipulation techniques.

What Freiband proposes here is 2 sides of radically reworked gamelan. Side A seems to progress through an acid bath and take the magnifying glass to enhance the digital decays, evoking various stages of textural corrosion. Through these aggressive and irreverent treatments, the naturally metallic harmonics are by twist and turns abruptly dismantled and fractured into crunchy, dense and fuzzy fireworks. On side B, through some arcane wiring, some machines end up spitting out shifting binary patterns with a somewhat alienating feeling.

GELSOMINA & NO XIVIC - 'Furnace' CD (Some Place Else)
"Furnace" is an unlikely, yet strangely natural union of No Xivic, renowned sculptor of dark electro-acoustic soundscapes, and Gelsomina, Finland's most prolific harsh noise artist. The title track, also the main piece on the album, is a live collaboration recorded in late 2006, a grand opus of psychedelic noise with a peculiar 'kraut' flavour! In addition to this, both artists created exclusive tracks on their own to complete the album. In total, "Furnace" is a 44-minute blast of fire, brimstone and hazardous electric currents. Presented in a slimline square DVD case.
GENGHIS TRON - 'Board Up The House Remixes Vol. 5' 12" (Crucial Blast)
If Genghis Tron's frayed and sparking mix of aggressive mathcore and electronics wasn't innovative enough, they've embarked on an ambitious multi-label remix project following their first album, "Board Up The House". The three tracks on the fifth and final edition comes wrapped in layers of distortion at once atmospheric and damaging. Tim Hecker's take on the title track is a slow thaw of icy electronic texture, and the Nadja remix of "I Won't Come Back Alive" stretches it out to fifteen minutes of buried drum hits and chilly synths. The final track is a distorted electro remix of "I Won't Come Back Alive" by Dudes You Can Trust. Ltd x 1000 copies on magenta / mint green marbled vinyl.
This shirt was made for the 25th anniversary Genocide Organ performance on 17th April 2010 in Leipzig, Germany. Black shirt with grey print. Features a large front propaganda-type print: "URBAN TERRORISM: Wll You Be The Next Target?". Back print states "THERE'S ONE IN EVERY CROWD".

GENOCIDE ORGAN - 'Under - Kontrakt' CD (Tesco Organisation)
The latest Genocide Organ album dates back to 2005 - now in 2011 the world is challenged by well known ancient patterns and presumed economic reasons. That of military contractors - whether it has been the Cretian archers, the Celtic cavalry, the Germanic body guards, the Swiss guard - muslim or christian motivated soldiers, spartans and Greeks - European or Asian - UN - Forces or private contractors - those people always sought more than money. This record deals with the overall topic of mercenary or more. Like always Genocide Organ's music is straight forward - expanding all genres and categories. A powerful assault and aggressive undertone interchanges with a dense depressive mood. All tracks are new but have been partly played during their last live appearance. The record is an experience.

GEROSTENKORP - 'Terre Brulee' CD (OPN)
"French Experimental artist Gerostenkorp produces a tribalistic stomp that treads similar ground in different areas to Pain Teens and Swans. Gerostenkorp provide a futuristic soundtrack that works on subtle atmospheric ambience throughout. Ghostly ambient qualities dominate this album, yet it also changes its’ approach frequently. "Terre Brulee" seems industrial only in its electronic futurism, yet seems reach out further in its sound and ambitions. There is a sense of seductive French Neu Wave where the song overtakes the ambient passages" (Judas Kiss). Features guest appearances by Von Magnet and Terroritmo, bringing a theatrical dimension to the addictive tribal-oriented rhythmic Industrial soundscapes. Presented in a sumptuous 6-panel digipak.
Brutal ambient noise and drone/doom split from two great young acts. Ghast offers up two monsters: the 21+ minute torturous noise / dark ambient epic "Le Noye" and the ultra sick, ascetic doom mutilation "Tetanos". The three tracks of Rape-X are united by one title "Civil Servant" and divided into 3 chapters 'The Cop', 'The Commissioner' and 'The Mayor'. A much more aggressive noise attack than the Canadians!

GIANLUCA BECUZZI & FABIO ORSI - 'Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines' CD (A Silent Place)
This is Alan Lomax reimagined by Spaceways Incorporated: folk songs hoarded as talismans from distant worlds... distant, that is, in time rather than space. This is a collaboration between Fabio Orsi and Gianluca Becuzzi (Kinetix). The unexpected encounter between these different forces, experiences, and visions of these two artists melts perfectly on this album. Drones and rumors, pouring between distant voices and centenary blues songs from the Alan Lomax archive, tow off shreds of ballads, guitars and old keyboards floating on the vibrant surface of a fairy river. Rapture and sweet loss are the main sensations. This could be listed as avant folk, or experimental blues, or ambient roots, or contemporary aesthetics and aching nostalgia. Digisleeve.

GIRNU GIESMES - 'Bevardes Salos' CD (Autarkeia)
The tenth album by the Lithuanian post industrial pioneer Girnu Giesmes uniquely marks the jubilee of composing and is distinguished by its special maturity and professionalism. Each frequency, sample or rhythm has been composed by the author himself. Some tracks are in a drone style, others in ambient, while the third contains dynamic, elemental rhythms. However, all tracks in the album have one common trait - they cannot be compared to anything else you heard before. Even the general mood of the album, although it is very close to human emotions, is practically indescribable in words. Most probably the title of Bevardes Salos (Nameless Islands) has been purposefully chosen for this musical journey, so that various listeners could explore and discover their unique vision emerging from the play of sounds.

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'All The Dread Magnificence Of Perversity' CD (Crucial Blast)
Picking up where 2008's "An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood" left off, Gnaw Their Tongues is back with nine new tracks of fearsome blackened orchestral chaos and abstract horror that still sounds like little else out there. An even heavier bass-assault compared to the other releases, and this is easily the heaviest Gnaw Their Tongues release yet. This monstrous, noxious bottom-end roar that skulks and slithers throughout the album suggests a foul fusion of Abruptum's black chaos and Leonard Rosenman's most nightmarish film scores, piled in towering heaps of sadistic noise, warped orchestral strings, degraded samples, shrieking voices, and punishing lurching doom draped in suffocating atmosphere. This album plunges even deeper into a black pit of cinematic horror, sexual perversion and shapeless heaviosity. Hardback digifile.
GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood' CD (Crucial Blast)
Reissue of the extremely limited LP (Ltd x 250, Burning World Records) from this ultra heavy act. Harrowing, apocalyptic, bestial ritual music from the deepest, darkest cellars of the Netherlands. Avant black metal, agonising funeral doom and blackened experimental drone noise stab forth again and again until all the blood is spilt and total carnage is all that remains. Pure dread put to music. Recommended for disturbed folk into Abruptum, Khanate, Axis Of Perdition, Swans and Univers Zero. "The bleakness and sheer refusal to allow any light to permeate proceedings alongside the non-linear, sprawling nature of the tracks will alienate a lot of people, but for anyone looking for something truly extreme, you’ll have a hard time beating this" (Kerrang). Hardback digifile.
GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'Per Flagellum Sanguemque, Tenebras Veneramus' CD (Crucial Blast)
Roughly translated as "with blood and whip, we worship the dark", this is the latest collection of atrocities from Gnaw Their Tongues. An eight song investigation into the rites and rituals that emerge from the copper-scented frenzy of the serial killer, the obsessive acts of death worship enacted by those that live on the edge of abyss, the limits of experience sought by black cults. The sound is, as always, immensely heavy, with fractured drums and thunderous tympani skins reverberating within a maelstrom of seething black doom, screeching classical strings, horns, piano, and some of the most vomitous vocals imaginable. However, "Per Flagellum Sanguemque..." is marked by the most frenetic percussive attack that we have heard from Gnaw Their Tongues, with volleys of chaotic drumming, fractured blasts, and maniacally complex patterns.

Black shirt with doom-laden grey print (front print with cover design and backprint with the Goatvargr logo) celebrating the second unholy union of Lord Nordvargr (MZ.412, Folkstorm, Toroidh etc) and Goat (USA). This Black Snow Epoch is a time to honour our forbearers such as MZ.412 and the elements of flesh, wood and alchemical steel. Industrial loops and analogue keyboards merge with sheet metal and chains to create a solemn winter hymn where the cold steel stings your flesh. The wolf instinctively hunts through the frost, and the goat is blamed for human transgressions, yet during the Black Snow Epoch, the true hunters will pursue.

Goem is Roel Meelkop. "... The overall sound is of remarkable digital warmth and fullness, and far away from the standard vocabulary of clicks cum sine waves. Cleverly switching between up- and down-tempo passages, Roel Meelkop achieves a nice balance between various moods. Some of the tracks evoke a relaxed, at times even dub-like feeling, while others include odd contrasting elements, which give them an insistent, driving character. Goem's music is well structured and demands repeated listening to discover the complex micro-variations within the rhythmic patterns; but what makes 'Robbed' truly likeable is that it succeeds in blending these characteristics with a swinging, thoroughly pleasant overall atmosphere."

It packs the punch of a luminous supernova, making for a pulverizing release of impulsive yet calculated abrasion. Over tracks like Yoshida never remains supine - this noise isn't even momentarily left to drone or slowly build; its layers are constantly being dropped in and ripped out from underneath, earning the press materials' categorization as “extreme harsh noise.” There are no breaks, no time for thought; the chaos rips and whirls seamlessly until the last breath of its gasping finale, “Vague Parting,” which wraps up the record with a tormented ten minutes of baneful mayhem" (Indieville).

HATI - 'Ka' CD (Eter)
Latest release by the great "trance-gong-drone" project from Torun, Poland - a result of many experiences and evolving artistic landscapes. The album was recorded traditionally - live in a natural acoustic environment, using acoustic instruments and connecting remote industrial echoes with elements of free improvisation and influences of drone / minimal music. Hati's music is mined from the depths of the mysterious and completely instrumental, knowingly using sound as a tool of communication. Presented in a cruciform card envelope with black on silver artwork. Highly recommended!

HAVEN - 'A2982' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
"Let us not be deluded by the spells of this sorcerer; because the first sounds overturn time's acknowledged and safe definition and begin constructions of different, weirder spaces. This is the last chance to resign and turn back. Otherwise, when you listen to the end of first track the only thing left to say is "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore". You begin your own, separate (and the longest?) journey. What do you see on your way? What unknown lands, traditions, incomprehensible rituals and dialects will you discover? I don't know. But I am sure that if David Lynch ever undertook the filming of "Alice in the Wonderland" the soundtrack of the movie will be filled with the music from A2982". Experimental / Electro. Digipak.
The fifth album of one of the most interesting projects on the Polish independent scene is their most accessible to date and could be quite a challenge for the current [haven] fanbase. "Amity" is a bold journey through different soundscapes, linking different musical worlds: elements of ambient and post-industrial electronica soaking in an experimental sauce, spiced up with oriental melodies and the beautiful voice of Magda Glocka. An attractive alternative for listeners from the outside of the independent music circle. 6-panel digipak.

HEID - 'Pilgrim Of The Sublunary World' CD (Cold Meat Industry)
From the forested outbacks of northern Sweden, a formation known as Heid rose with the midnight sun. Heid paid due respect to the Swedish tradition - a pedigree including Raison d'Etre and In Slaughter Natives. Heid instantly spoke with a unique voice, a distinct Nordic expression resonant with the majesty of their homeland: the deep forests, the bottomless lakes, the foaming rapids, and the distant howls of the last predators. Heid created a dark, dystopian sound, that rendered them a formidable reputation. Heid disbanded in 2000, but the legacy carried on through Survival Unit and LEAK. This CD retrospective is a fitting epitaph. Digipak.

HELDENTOD - 'The Ghost Machine' CD (Cold Spring CSR131CD)
Heldentod began in 2005 as an outlet for research into the little-known corners of 20th-Century history. While previous recordings whiplashed between the traditional and the experimental, Heldentod's latest album leaves behind its neofolk and martial-industrial roots to focus solely on electronics, but maintains the fundamental sense of composition found in earlier incarnations. Although now primarily influenced by death industrial and power electronics, Heldentod looks to create the most suitable expression of its key themes, including ghosts, ancestor worship, human sacrifice, neolithic fertility rites, Iron Age religion, mediaeval literature, unseen dimensions, inhuman intelligences, and all manner of Forteana.
Hélice Pied (previously recording under the name NIXILX.NIJILX) is a newcomer from Athens, Greece. "Conduit No. 2" is a perfect example of sensibly spun experimental drone, floating waves with metallic tinkling-sounds slowly approaching and disappearing again, soft white noise-swooshes circulating widely around an invisible centre... sound-sources are hardly recognizable (coming from concrete sounds of churchbells and e-guitar), the atmosphere rising is one of quietness & meditation, able to transcend your mind. All words & symbols Héilice uses have a strong structural and inter-related meaning. First edition of 300 copies on white vinyl with hand-painted, hand-numbered covers and an inlay.

Intense ritualistic and percussive drumming melt with deep atmospheric drones, invocations, otherwordly tones and various acoustic instruments such as gongs, bells and zither.

HEXPEROS - 'The Veil Of Queen Mab' CD (Equilibrium Music)
The second album from Portuguese act Hexperos pays homage to the queen of fairies and dreams, a creation of Anglo-Saxon mythology, with roots in Celtic legends, referred in works by numerous artists, from Shakespeare or Percy Shelley to Gustave Doré. Hexperos once again combine classical and contemporary approaches to chamber music, incorporating Celtic, Mediterranean, Medieval and Baroque elements in a meticulously crafted and varied opus. Pressed on gold disc and housed in a matt-varnished digipak with gold foil print, “The Veil of Queen Mab” comes with a 16-page booklet beautifully illustrated with visuals by Polish artist Malgorzata Maj (Sarachmet Photography & Illustration).
From headlong infusions of psychedelic rock to the limitless furrows of doom, in "Happy Birthday" London's Hey Colossus has constructed an all conquering citadel of experimental/metal disrepair. The album is a rampaging fire-cloud of superstoked riffs and ever mounting walls of feedback, a rough house collection of battering new songs driven at sweltering pace by a band with a fearless momentum. The is the record that the band has always threatened to unleash - a pitch black album for our ever scorched earth.

HOOR-PAAR-KRAAT - 'The Eureka Tapes: The Complete Recordings' 2 x CD (Small Doses / Basses Frequences)
The pieces that make up "The Eureka Tapes" were all created while Hoor-paar-Kraat’s Anthony Mangicapra was living in the town of Eureka, California. Indeed, the town’s name is apt as they represent a “Eurekamoment” for Hoor-paar-Kraat as a musical entity; a figurative spilling of the bath waters as Hoor-paar-Kraat found their sound. The hints of alchemical transcendence that peeped through the cracks of previous releases come brazenly into view throughout. Music dissolves into explorations of texture, acoustic phenomena and the psyche. Originally issued as three separate volumes in a variety of hard to find formats, "The Eureka Tapes" collects the three original volumes, plus Hoor-paar-Kraat’s side of their split cassette with Last and a previously unreleased recording from the same sessions. Hoor-paar-Kraat’s music finds itself travelling the same surreal by-ways as Nurse With Wound, irr. app. (ext.), The Hafler Trio and Coil’s more ritualistic output.
"Fjær Og Jern" is a collection of some of Hornorkesteret's best tracks and a great introduction to the band. It features arctic mood music performed on reindeer antler instruments, field recordings, and guests including: Tore Honore Boe (Origami Boe), Alan Courtis & Roberto Conlazo (Reynols) and Norwegian polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen. Epic music touching on subjects like polar exploration, ecology, the cyclic forces in nature, animal urges, and the Norwegian mental and physical climate.

Nearly five years since K. Meizter (Beyond Sensory Experience) and Horologium's previous work "Eight Studies in Transition" the two artists return with their sophomore collaborative release "Decorated Silence". The album's theme revolves around the concept of language perceived as decorated silence with K. Meizter and Horologium communicating through their illustrious dark tinted soundscapes. Expect a dark ambient industrial release of highest class.
Fire has been a point of reference for Horologium’s musical endeavours since the very beginning of the band. It is now high time for you to experience a release specifically centered around this meaningful theme. Let us invoke the fire that gave birth to the Earth, the flame stolen from the gods by Prometheus, the all-changing element of Heraclitus... Horologium hope to set your hearts on fire!

HROSSHARSGRANI - 'Pro Liberate Dimicandum Est' CD (Steinklang)
"Pro Liberate Dimicandum Est" was released specially for the 2000 years anniversary of the "Varusschlacht" (also known as the Battle Of Teutoburg Forest and immortalised by Ridley Scott in the film "Gladiator"). Classical melodies combined with the iron rough edges of Martial Industrial on a crusade through the ages. A musical journey far off the trampled paths of industrial art was the basis for each single Hrossharsgrani track! Hrossharsgrani is Alex Hugin Wieser, the man behind Uruk-Hai, Bonemachine etc. DVD case packaging.
HROSSHARSGRANI / DEAD MAN'S HILL - 'Dead Meat' CD (Steinklang)
Two-way split album - a great mix between Martial / Industrial / Ambient / Electronic and more. Five new Hrossharsgrani anthems featuring vocals by Bart Piette from D.M.H. and Pr. Sergiy from Moloch, as well as five new monumental epics from the master of Dark Ambient, Dead Man's Hill - this time a lot more intense and song-oriented than on earlier releases. "Dead Meat" is the so far most mature and complex album of both artists. Composition, interpretation and design feel like a smack in the face and leave no room for compromise! Morbidity meets iron avant-garde, romanticism encounters the frozen coldness of metal! When will people finally realize: if you want to feel you MUST listen! Slimline DVD case.
Two great new pieces by this Russian artist, most sensible and emotional drone-ambience, a graceful dance of acoustic reflections and resonances. "Spectral Ship" and "Tidal Fire" appear like universal mantras, revealing the basic HUM of the universe. These works seem to represent perfectly the concept of the "Substantia" series: Sound that exists but which is not originating from the impact of two subjects in contact. Sound that is simply "there", with no beginning or ending. Limited to 500 copies on silver coloured vinyl, with a full colour sleeve designed by Daniel Crokaert / Mystery Sea.

The alluring debut from Leipzig Germany’s Hyios offers 7 lengthy compositions of cold ritual drones, arching trajectories, and visceral descents into subterranean caverns, where rich, kinetic textures and deep resonant tones move and morph in a fluid, serpentine fashion, sprinkled with the debris of an ancient culture and something more otherworldly and primordial. Leipzig has historically proven to be fertile ground for dark ambient and "Consuetudines" continues in the fine tradition set forth by such notable acts as Inade and Herbst9. Presented in a 6 panel digipak, mastered by Secret Lab. A great new discovery!
Hypnoz is a project of Dmitry Zubov, a Moscow musician, who endowed lovers of post-industrial music with such names as Hum and Staruha Mha. Since 1993 Hypnoz has released one CD on Russian label Insofar Vapour Bulk, which gathered tracks from different periods and a couple of very limited editions. The basis of most of the tracks for "Breath of Earth" was recorded by Dmitry together with Evgeny Voronovsky (Cisfinitum) during their joint night psychedelic sessions, and this is evidently felt in their mood. Stylistically this can be called tranquil electronic ambient with a remarkable experimental touch.

The album should appeal to those who enjoy tranquil, diverse, dark-ambient sounds similar in fashion to Raison D'etre, Desiderii Marginis or Asmorod. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.
INORGANIC BLOSSOMING - 'Seasons Project: Autumndrones' CD (Infinite Fog Productions / Vegvisir Music / 7Hz Records)
'Autumndrones' is a name which belongs to two musicians from Siberia - Becoming and Freeall. 'Autumndrones' - can be explained as a love of autumn. They did not want to dedicate the music to this season, they wanted to write it. Therefore they music was written during the fall only, and when the first autumn passed they left the unfinished material until the next one. That is why the work took them 3 years. The whole mood of the album went through this season, even live instruments, such as violin and accordion, were recorded in fields along with the leaves' noise. The sound of nature and the human together. Mild ambient, careful noise and accidental melodies, the mix of leaves rustling, wind blowing and analogue synths singing. Ltd x 292 copies in a handmade A5 digipak.

ION - 'Immaculada' CD (Equilibrium Music)
A collection of slow motion mysterious ballads, balancing light and shade, salvation and loss, matching Irish landscapes and Mediterranean sunbathed seashores with its haunting Celtic vibes that thrive and build upon tribal rhythmic patterns. Much like its 2006 predecessor "Madre, Protégenos", the straightforward and minimalistic overall tone of the album is misleading, as its layered complexity and resonant harmonies reveal themselves at each listen, one mystery at a time, and one step closer to the end of this spiritual quest. Mostly recorded in the Portuguese countryside and in Dublin city, the intricate instrumental backbone is mainly constructed out of traditional instruments. With the mandolin family taking center stage, the tracks have been arranged to incorporate ethnic instrumentation (flutes, uillean pipes) which contrast with the sparse orchestration supplied by cello, violin, acoustic guitars, keyboard pads and piano, supported by the earthbound pulse of the percussion. Presented in a beautiful 6-panel digipak with foilblock lettering.
Íon is the brainchild of Duncan Patterson (Antimatter, Anathema) and is named after the Gaelic word for 'pure'. Although primarily a solo project, a number of guest musicians are involved in this new venture by the Ireland-based musician, which hereby explores a more acoustic, dreamy and organic side to his composition. Having Irish mysticism and an exotic Mediterranean backdrop as its essential cornerstones, the project has slowly evolved into an international venture, stretching over continents and oceans. The music seems to elude strict categorisation, and even the apparently all-encompassing definition of World Music falls short in defining the ethereal moods that "Madre, Protégenos" comes to reveal. Presented in a sumptuous, black and gold foil-blocked, 6-panel digipak.
On the theme of alchemy and the topics of shame vs. bodily self infliction, IRM makes way for a new start after the inspired “Virgin Mind” double-disc set from 2005. These are new Power Electronics / Industrial recordings with the new member Mikael Oretoft joining on bass. Two long tracks - the first being an intense up-building, deep pulsating number with both spoken and rough vocals, volcanic exaggerated bass noise and doom-laden atmosphere. The second more of an aftermath with its down-spiralling, almost dreamy character of echoing tones, ripping clangs and chilling audio-schmerz. Ltd x 500 copies in a glossy colour sleeve with gross artwork and insert.
Swedish artists Martin Bladh and Erik Jarl, joined by Mikael Oretoft. "Order4" delves into the psyche of the self inflictor - the core of inner regions violently exposed. Comprised of four tracks, each exactly 15 minutes in length, we are thrown into a vortex of feedback, drones, heavy bass, nightmarish piano and irreproachable synthwork. The clinical heaviness of earlier works are now transformed into a pure harsh, static soundwaves. The lyrics here are deeper cuts into personal matters. A man altering between life and death - a calculating and delusional thinker and recluse who has lost his grip of reality, or perhaps found another? The strife for self-control turned into sick dedication, waging war on himself to receive recognition - the end comes nearer. Digipak.

IRR. APT. (EXT.) - 'Kreiselwelle' CD (Helen Scarsdale Agency)
Irr. app. (ext.) is a project of Californian M.S. Waldron (recent live member of Nurse With Wound). "Kreiselwelle" ("Spiral Wave") is the third and final installment to a body of works composed under the influence of Wilhelm Reich, the unorthodox 20th Century psychologist. Waldron returns to the same collection of field recordings which began this trilogy; however, he restricted himself to those with spiralling origins: resonating springs, the ocean cyclically churning over pebbles on the beach, the wafting of air around various objects... A richly dark and oddly serene amalgamation. Nice artwork with spot varnishing.

Isomer's latest offering takes a sharp turn towards more aggressive territories, with the raw industrial hinted at in previous outings getting a proper airing. The dark ambient textures for which he is known still feature, but "Face Toward The Sun" forges new stylistic ground for the project. From the throbbing electronics of the opening track, through power electronics, walls of noise, violent vocal deliveries and carefully structured dark ambience, this is a characteristically varied album. The tracks here will appeal to listeners of martial industrial as well as to an industrial dark ambient audience. A lusty, varied album of industrial music.

JAHRTAL - 'William Blake - Lieder Von Unschuld Und Widerfahren' CD (Ahnstern)
This is the second album by the Austrian Psychedelic-Folk artist Jahrtal. The man behind Jahrtal is Ewald Spiss, a artist from Tyrol, who started doing electro-acoustic music and sound-installations in the early 80s. Jahrtal today is authentic psychedelic Folk music, maybe only comparable with In Gowan Ring. The lyrics of the second album are poems of "Songs Of Innocence and Of Experience" by the English poet William Blake (1757-1827), translated by Ewald Spiss, as near as possible to the original Blake-texts.

JASON KAHN & ASHER - 'Vista' CD (and/OAR)
"By mail" collaboration mixing Asher's recordings of machine noises from the alleys and side streets of Back Bay, Boston and Kahn's recordings made on the shores of Zurich Lake and in the Swiss Alps. Addressing the idea of hearing and seeing out and beyond spatial planes, the title "Vista" references both the aural expanses of Asher's home on a hill in the town of Somerville and Kahn's trips in Switzerland. In processing and mixing the discrete details of a landscape, we hear them from a real physical distance. Through the incidental combinations of processed local sounds and sound materials which are entirely foreign to us, an imaginative aural view is created which obscures any relationship to a documentary account of the original locations recorded for Vista.

JENNIFER GENTLE - 'Concentric' CD (A Silent Place)
Better known as purveyors of quirky, semi-sleazy avant pop gems on their Sub Pop albums, Jennifer Gentle have also issued through the years a series of weirder releases, running the gamut from out-there psychedelic rock to “crunching and hefty slab of tripped out musique concrète worthy of Joji Yuasa, Kunihara Akayima or one of their equivalent early ‘60s greats” (Julian Cope). Concentric is the last and also their bleakest, most uncompromising and probably best experimental album to date. This time Fasolo took his and into his own studio, recorded them and then spent hours painstakingly editing the material, adding here and there the odd effect and generally directing what sounds like a nightmarish Surrealist movie perversely shot in lush Cinemascope, or a hellish version of Lumpy Gravy as played by a freaked-out jazz combo.

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.

JOHN DUNCAN - 'Da Sich Die Machtgier...' CD (Die Stadt)
Asmus Tietchens sent processed recordings of himself reading excerpts from two texts by E. M. Cioran. Duncan worked on and manipulated them, creating three pieces. There is little of Tietchens remaining in these abstract creations. Speed-altered voice tracks are stacked, swirling electronic sounds in the background providing proof of deeper processing. "Freih zein hoem macht..." ranks among Duncan's harshest pieces to date, while "Aber..." is more "typical" Duncan: a drone derived from the sound source but from which the sound source has been obliterated, and yet makes its ghostly presence palpable.

Kusafuka's pieces tend to fall apart to reveal their constituent elements, so spectacularly in fact that it's impossible to locate the artist in the midst of the seemingly formless sonic sprawl.

KARL BOSMANN feat. JAN VAN DEN DOBBELSTEEN / ULTRA MILKMAIDS / HIROSHI HASEGAWA - 'Levoton - RED / BLACK MARBLED' LP (Psych.KG)
"The original on one side and the remixes on the other side. Karl Bösmann plays zither, bows, voice, hammer, ventillation, timpani, trumpet and trombone in the twenty minute title piece. I usually quite like his work and this new piece is no different. It seems to creating a hiatus with his older work in that it all seems to be derived from acoustic sound sources, rather than electronics. Its slowly building up, layer by layer and from a certain point on a moire like effect takes place, of shifting sounds, moving in and out of the mix. A fine complexity of dense sounds arrives and has a weird, almost avant-folk like character. The first remix is by Jan van den Dobbelsteen, The Netherlands' more conceptual composer. I have no idea what he did to the material, but 'radical rework' surely applies here. A static beep, like an alarm clock, repeated over and over. Ultra Milkmaids also do a form of reduction but in a more musical way, bringing everything down to just a few meandering organ like sounds. Hiroshi Hasegawa (Astro), on the other hand does what he does best, which is putting down a fine psychedelic mix of noise like sounds. Three entirely different remixes, none of which resembles the original at all. Now that's what I call a great remix project" (Vital Weekly).

Its slowly building up, layer by layer and from a certain point on a moire like effect takes place, of shifting sounds, moving in and out of the mix. A fine complexity of dense sounds arrives and has a weird, almost avant-folk like character. The first remix is by Jan van den Dobbelsteen, The Netherlands' more conceptual composer. I have no idea what he did to the material, but 'radical rework' surely applies here. A static beep, like an alarm clock, repeated over and over. Ultra Milkmaids also do a form of reduction but in a more musical way, bringing everything down to just a few meandering organ like sounds. Hiroshi Hasegawa (Astro), on the other hand does what he does best, which is putting down a fine psychedelic mix of noise like sounds. Three entirely different remixes, none of which resembles the original at all. Now that's what I call a great remix project" (Vital Weekly).

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.

Van Hoek crosses the lines between the non rhythmic Pan Sonic, and combines it with nice, but not all too harsh noise and leap frogs into the world of drone. His use of loops prevents this to be much in the world of musique concrete, but there too lies some of his interest... a most enjoyable album of experimental music" [FdW].

KAULA - 'Avadhuta Gita Chapter I' CD (Doomentia)
Kaula's debut is the vision of one Pietro Riparbelli (K11), an Italian artist who not only composed and recorded the whole thing, but also designed its cryptic booklet and contributed with organs, medianic chants, field recordings and radio signals. Kaula is a whole different beast to K11. What could be seen at first glance at some kind of weird black-metal outburst - including rasping vocals courtesy of Rosy from old-school death-metal warriors Profanal and buzzsaw guitars - soon makes sure all rules go out the window by using various metal (doom, thrash) and non-metal (noise industrial) elements and create a sonic black hole. All lyrics are based here on ancient text called ‘Avadhuta Gita’, said to have been originally written in the IXth century. As a result, all seven tracks have been named after it and are basically about attaining a spiritual state “equivalent to the existence of god”. Mastered by Mell Dettmer (SunnO))), Earth).

Eight hasteless compositions of psychedelic drone ambient combine a light atmosphere with deep layers, crystal clear sound transparency with mild and sometimes uneasy melodies. Soft organic tracks full of plangent drones, noises and natural recordings neighbor with dense and saturated hymns to Hindu goddess Kali.

One of the goals of this expedition was to study the musical traditions of the Pamir highlands. Here he discovered the most outstanding poet and musician, Kurbonsho. The village in which he lived is a wild place on Vakhania (Afghan gap) with no electricity and extremely difficult access. Although local residents claimed that he was unlikely to agree to sing, Kali still managed to record his primordial folklore music, which is represented on this disc. Kurbonsho died In 2008. Beautiful lyrical melodies (sung in Devanagari) with smooth transitions and flowing vocals - the music is clear and unprepared for the European organic ear. Ltd x 700 copies in a 20-page A5 digibook.

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.

L'EFFET C'EST MOI - 'Genius Loci' CD (SkullLine)
In classical Roman religion a genius loci was the protective spirit of a place. The concept was regarded as something supernatural linked to a place or object of worship. Over time the meaning has changed, for genius loci refers to the cultural significance and then the emotional, which is attributed to a site, for an area or city, usually refers to a location's distinctive atmosphere, or a "spirit of place", rather than necessarily a guardian spirit. It is therefore an expression of "character" of a place, its characteristics interwoven with the habits and customs of the people who live there. In this case assumes the role of genius loci which takes time to establish contact with our ancestors. The CD presents an introspective journey through martial ambient and ritualistic epic sounds, to reflect and find a contact between man and the protection of the place.

LAGO MORTO - 'Obitorio Veneto' LP (Von Archives)
Lago Morto is a band conceived by Italian artist Nico Vascellari as contribution to the exhibition ‘Rock Scissors Paper’ (Kunsthaus Graz). Lago Morto is ‘a social punk sculpture’, a way ‘to turn the model of the cast band upside down. Lago Morto is about things that casting calls usually exclude - targeted aggression, unpredictable social effects and local politics’. The result is a band that toured for 15 days in Vittorio Veneto in non musical venues such as bar, osteria, pizzeria, launderette, video store etc. The LP contains all 14 songs the band has created. Ltd x 300 copies with a full-size insert. Italian import.
Coming back with an all new album after more than 5 years the alter ego of Herbst9 delivers another outstanding soundtrack about radiological warfare and it's debris during the last century. SWT is like a massive energy spike with a surrounding maelstrom of machine noises, rhythms, interferences and electromagnetic waves. The complex arrangement of technical sounds creates a deadly atmosphere of fallout and devastated landscapes with an apocalyptic aura reflected by dissonant harmonies and deep shimmering ambient scapes. Presented in a 6 panel digipak. Mastered by Andreas Wahnmann (First Law).
LARRNAKH - 'Now Will You Believe?' CD (Steinklang)
Great Neofolk album featuring (ex)members of Cawatana, Sturmast and Scivias. "Now will you believe?" is a brilliant mix of classical guitar-based Neofolk with electronic elements, varied and assembled with droning Ritual / Dark-Ambient tracks. The mix of two completely different styles in music makes this album an outstanding new milestone of "crossovers". Dark and sometimes frightening soundscapes with samples, trumpets and haunting drums are compiled with beautiful harps, piano, violin and narrating vocals, rounded by fine Neoclassical elements.

LASSE MARHAUG - 'It's Not The End Of The World' CD (Quasi Pop)
On this record Norwegian experimental / noise hero Lasse Marhaug plays with the methods and traditions of serious electronic avantgarde that are integrated into the aesthetics of loud and bloody harch noise music. A damn hard, loud and overloaded skillful thing, but exciting and highly intelligent at the same time. Originally issued on Chinese label Doufo in 2006 as a limited release, this fully remastered version contains extra tracks. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak with new, stunning collage artwork and design by Lasse Marhaug himself.
Judd and Becky Hawk are joined by Greg Wilkinson (Brainoil, Pig Heart Transplant, Earhammer Studios) and Nathan Misterek (Graves At Sea). On "The Coronation", the two elements that make up the current Laudanum sound - punishing, bruised sludge doom and bleak industrial noise experiments - are fused ever more tightly together into a cohesive soundtrack for the slow collapse of modern life and culture. The intense low frequency pummel of Wilkinson’s bass rumble is itself an apparent cause for some of this collapse, such is its massive earth-shaking power. Becky’s crushing drum beats rival Dale Crover in sheer intensity and brute force. Judd’s repetitive stone slab riffs carrying the weight of the world, and Misterek’s vocals, colliding with Becky’s, coating the whole thing with the mournful, evil magick of life’s coming oppression. This is The Coronation of the end. Digifile.
LAURENT PERRIER - 'Downfall Disperse' 2 x CD (Sound On Probation)
This is the first solo album in a decade by this French artist (member of Zonk’t / Nox and label manager of Odd Size). ‘Downfall’ is a single track which develops ultra slowly, with very low, organic rumbling and hypnotic bass. The composition seems minimalistic but yet complex, absorbing and disintegrating, cold yet organic. ‘Disperse’ is also a singular track, but is more in the vein of concrete electro-acoustic music. Inspired by the compositions of Steve Reich, loops are copied, layered and moved around, so that the listener is under the permanent impression of growing turbulence and spatial buzzing.

LCHM - 'Terra Australis Incognita' CD (La Esencia)
Debut album from LCHM, inspired by the short stories of Jorn Riel, a Danish writer who lived for 16 years in the most isolated and impervious areas of Greenland in the early 20th Century, at close quarters with the hunters who originally lived there. With this work, LCHM has tried to recreate, by means of sound, the lights and shadows of these great and unknown men who lived extraordinary experiences by relying on their own forces alone, on their adaptability and on their will to survive in an age when you didn't have much to begin with. LCHM was born out of a passion for audial research, the study of human psychology, and ispirations drawn from several esoteric practices. Deep and wide sounds, bright and obscure, unique and full of nuances. LCHM conceives and records all of its material using sounds captured in nature, in unusual places, or created using other instruments. Digipak.

LEVIATHAN - 'Verräter' 2 x CD (Tumult)
Pure, primitive, cult, home recorded evil! Two discs, 22 tracks, 143 minutes of buzzing, howling, pummelling black metal. Think Burzum, Darkthrone, Immortal, but with all sorts of weird twists and sonic surprises. Sure, Leviathan is grimmer than grim metal that the frost and forest lords of Norway should bow down to, but it's also pure expression unfettered by genre restraints, although informed and inspired by them. Unique and category-defying black metal... dark, weird, noisy, disturbing art embodying one man's twisted vision. Original, evil, hateful, misanthropic, bizarre and truly black metal. "Verräter", the first official Leviathan release, contains tracks dating back to 1998 with the first disc representing more recently recorded tracks, while disc two contains the older, rawer material. "Verräter" is beyond just black metal, it's a collection of utterly brutal, truly innovative, and completely soul crushing musical blackness.

LIONEL MARCHETTI - 'Une Saison' 2 x CD (Monotype Records)
Musique Concrete / Experimental music by French composer Lionel Marchetti. Features field recordings made at several glaciers in the the French Alps along with male/female vocals, synthesizer and clarinet. The characteristics of numerous compositions by Lionel Marchetti, including those featured in this collection, are fullness and perfection, a design both obscure and transparent at the same time, so typical of a classic work. Ecopak with 16 page booklet containing text by Michel Chion on Marchetti's music.
Duality is at once sacred and playful. It is both dark and light, organic and refined, masculine and feminine. Dead Can Dance's Lisa Gerrard partners with Pieter Bourke, formerly of Aussie band Eden, to create this compositional dance of partnership that is classical, ancient, and thoroughly modern. Gerrard's voice is multi-tracked at times, conjuring a cathedral choir and the droning chants of monks. Drums and synth snake from desert to brilliant stormy sky to shaking earth and the bodies that inhabit those spaces. There are lush multiple layers of strings, bagpipe drone, and, quite literally, the laughter of children. The vocals sans "real" words and multicultural instrumentation will be familiar to Dead Can Dance listeners. Yet there is something more exclusive, more womb-like about the music of Bourke and Gerrard; rather than two distinct bodies making music, like mother and in utero child sharing blood and breath, they are mutually dependent.

First full-length studio album from one of the most consistently good bands around today, Chicago's Locrian. "Drenched Lands" is a beautifully thought-out piece of music, from a gentle guitar strum / synth opening which cuts out abruptly just as you're becoming entirely engrossed, only to give way to an epic cavernous drone. The whole thing brings to mind some sort of disused industrial factory or barren post-apocalyptic landscape. Dark tones, noise, keys and the odd well-placed guitar strum combine brilliantly to evoke feeling of desolation, loss, a submission of will, almost tangential in sound to Earth's "Hex" album.

LOCRIAN - 'Territories' CD (BloodLust! / Small Doses)
André Foisy and Terence Hannum have spent the last several years honing the Locrian sound. They've taken elements from noise, power electronics, drone, and black metal to come up with a truly unique sound reflecting the sprawling urban decay surrounding them in Chicago. For this release, Locrian has pulled out all the stops and fleshed out the band with the help of Mark Solotroff (Bloodyminded), Blake Judd (Nachtmystium), Bruce Lamont (Yakuza) and Andrew Scherer (Velnias). The results of this massive collaborative effort are apparent from the moment the album starts. The textures run darker and deeper; the vocals - sometimes three layers deep - seem to be conjured from the decrepit muck of a failed civilisation; the feedback takes on a more pronounced presence; and the big band allows for full-on black metal assaults that burst out of the tortured drones Locrian have come to be known for. "Territories" may well be the most fully realised form of Locrian's dystopic vision. Digipak.

LOSCIL - 'Coast / Range / Arc' CD (Glacial Movements)
This Canadian artist perfectly merges glacial and isolationist ambient music. Coast / Range / Arc is centered around the coastal mountains of the Pacific Northwest, studded with glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons and epic views. The majestic ranges form a striking mountain landscape. These tracks explore the timelessness of mountainous elevations; oxygen deprived and surrounded by boundless skies. Mountains are hardly static - in fact they are dynamic on a time scale beyond the human experience. They grow, buckle, twist, erupt and erode at an epic pace. The Coast / Range / Arc is filled with such mountains and valleys, their dynamics nearly imperceptible. They evoke awe and a connection to an imperceptible past. They are constantly changing, yet represent such a seemingly stoic fixture in our relatively short lives. Digipak.

Stories of burned down villages, inner visions of the absurd and deep dark caves. Bosque continues next with the spell "Veneration". This band serves an obscure atmosphere at it's best and leaves you a bitter black taste of depressiveness deep in your thoughts. The abstract doom / black spell of Bosque is a pure dark atmosphere painted with colourless feelings and a raw sound that makes this a priceless result of true funeral doom / black art.

LOVAC - 'Apes Of A Cold God CD (Soleilmoon)
Swedish folk / industrialists Lovac is a new band with old roots, having already released a full-length CD of Death in June covers on Douglas P.'s NERUS label under the name Down in June. With a distinctive "totenpop" vision they re-invented the songs to the delight of both Death In June fans and music journalists who discovered the treasure of Douglas P. songs anew. Lovac’s music evokes a night-of-the-world mood that deftly calls down the nostalgia of romanticism and overlays it with a war machine blowing a cold breeze of death into the dawn. Lovac is part of a larger movement of modern European pop music that draws inspiration from traditional folk music and brings it to new life in a fertile clash with the contemporary minimalistic industrial scene. Combining this music with text fragments from Karl Marx, Antonin Artaud and Percy Bysshe Shelley, “Apes of a Cold God” invites the listener to take a deep look into the abysmal underside of civilization. Lavishly printed mini-LP style sleeve with gold foil blocking and an eight page booklet.
The first solo album from LR (Loke Rahbek). "Exile" has something to offer, some amount of truth to it that has not been found to the same degree in any of his previous works. Stretching the recordings for “Exile” to almost two years of work puts it on a different level of importance. Fragile synth compositions, heavy drones and piercing vocals leave an eerie album of sincere industrial. 8 tracks all based on the poem of the same title, written by the Jewish German writer H.

Infused with Japanese sonic architectures and rigorous reductionist principles, this is a deeply meditative world of gently plucked instruments, drifting tones and faded atmospherics, peppered with closely focused tinklings and crystalline shards to add texture.

LULL & BETA CLOUD & ANDREW LILES - 'Circadian Rhythm Disturbance Reconfigured' CD (Cold Spring CSR139CD)
From England to the United States and back again... it all started as a simple drone project between LULL (aka Mick Harris of Scorn, ex-Napalm Death) and BETA CLOUD (aka Carl Pace), based on the concept of how insomnia can effect your thought patterns. Billows of powerful bass drones set to indistinct flourishes of temporary insanity. The original track is there, but also included is a fierce remix track by legendary sound artist Andrew Liles (NURSE WITH WOUND). Fans of Lull and Beta Cloud will really sink their teeth into this one; what Liles has created here is not a simple remix but a raging, deconstruction as only he can do. Originally released as a limited 3" CD in 2008, now proudly presented in a deluxe digipak edition with stunning new artwork. A captivating listen for dark ambient and harsh noise fans alike.
The ultimate in drift and darkness! A collection of rare and unreleased compilation tracks formed within the deepest nightmares of Mick Harris (Scorn, ex-Napalm Death). Tracking the work from the very first track Lull created; 'Hung' to the haunting nineteen-minute 'Closed In', previously found only on vinyl.

After a long period of silence, we welcome the return of one of the most important representatives of the ambient isolationist world: the wonderful UK artist Lull (aka Mick Harris of Scorn, Painkiller, Napalm Death). "Like a slow river" is a work characterised by sharp and minimal atmospheres but also dark, cold and huge such as large bodies of ice which slowly move, carried by an endless river. These five compositions reach the high expectations of Lull's previous works, such as "Cold Summer", "Continue" and the "Murder Ballads" trilogy with Martin Bates. With no doubt, this is the coldest and darkest work ever composed by this pioneer of industrial-ambient music. You will all be led to the oblivion of your existence....the freezing darkness of these glacial night is going to come down on your bodies and minds... you'll fall in your deepest sleep with the far echo of glacial runnings... the way to eternity is in front of you.

LUNA DOPA / EMME YA - 'The Hidden Walker / Apotheosis Psychoerotica' CD (Nihil Art)
Luna Dopa is headed by the enigmatic Gabriel Luis B, an Italian deconstructionist and artist who has been developing his talent through many magickal devices, his personal interest in esoteric and occult matters. He creates ritualistic ambient pieces, transporting us to unknown regions of our subconscious, with deep engulfing drones that grow stronger, swelling like the ocean to take the listener deep into his magic sound world. Emme Ya is the deep exploration of Edgar Kerval in the fields of sonic mutations and hybrid soundscapes emerging from astral atavisms. Emme Ya is related to a planet with two suns in the Sirius binary star-system. The main influences are the ancient mystical cultures and diverse abstract forms which reflects into our mind, more than the perceived reality hidden in ancient stellar wisdom. This enigmatic ritualistic sound structure are filled with dense astral emanations and magickal paradigms. Ltd x 500 copies.

LUPERCI - 'The Holy Mountain' 12" (Monolithic Document)
Luperci is a drone based noise project from Albuquerque, New Mexico. 'The Holy Mountain' is an epic and introspective piece that oscillates between quiet, hypnotic drone and trance inducing, crushing wall of sound. 'The Holy Mountain' is about the human drive towards enlightenment and is largely influenced by the path of the Aghori Sadhus - a sect of Hindu ascetics who believe everything is sacred and nothing is profane. As part of their spiritual journey, they live alone in cremation grounds, carry a begging bowl made from a human skull, and wear cremation ashes.The extreme nature of their practice and their intense desire for the union with the divine was a major point of inspiration for the album. Each sleeve was printed by Luperci's Joseph Angelo and includes an insert. This vinyl-only release is a hand numbered, limited edition of 100 copies only. ACT FAST!
LUSTMORD - 'First - A Document Of Early Acoustic & Tactical Experimentation' CD (Dark Vinyl)
"First" was released as the first (untitled) Lustmord album on Sterile Records in 1982. The earliest Lustmord recordings show the project's industrial roots with a sound not far from Throbbing Gristle. This record incomparably represents art, ideology, uncompromising consequence and sound tactical proceeding of one of the most interesting, still existing members of the industrial music movement. "First" features John Balance of Coil and additional voices by Nigel Ayers of Nocturnal Emissions, and Nigel Dunster. The CD version features longer edits of some of the LP material, along with additional material (compilation tracks) not on the original.

LUSTMORD - 'Other Dub' MCD (Vaultworks)
Dub Remix EP of the Lustmord album [ O T H E R ]. Three obviously dubby, heavy and smokey reinterpreations of tracks taken from the original "[ O T H E R ] " album. Reminiscent of the "Lustmord vs Metal Beast" album, but full of gritty and stretched out riffs (think what had been done with the Melvins on "Juggernaut"), this last chapter is a bit beatier than the "Transmuted" vinyl, and fits very well with the rest of Lustmord's extremely deep and masterfully produced catalogue. Features Adam Jones of Tool. 40 minutes of music over 3 epic tracks! Comes in a shrinkwrapped card slip.
Debut release by this new Italian project, set up in 2006 by Redux (Kirlian Camera) and his wife Claudia Morel. Of course the master inspires the follower; Lux Anodyca sometimes sounds pretty Kirlian Camera-like but on the other hand, they explore wider fields. Lux Anodyca dives into the realms of experimental music, gothic ballads, noir-cabaret and minimal electronics, which definitely confirms their very open-minded way of composing. Think of something like a mix of Kirlian Camera vs. David E. Williams... like a Noir movie soundtrack and songs sung by drunken singers. Ltd x 300 copies.
Deep symphonic dark ambient space music. A completely alien and eerie experience of darkness and cold void desolation. M87 was created in 1995 by Huw Davies, inspirationally catalysed by a television documentary about Black Holes. Originally aiming to create music which expressed the strangeness and extremity of these elusive celestial objects, and as much aided by his extraordinary technical level as a guitar player as limited by his nonexistent technical level on any other instrument, Davies spent over a year developing and perfecting notation, playing, and recording techniques which would enable him to produce an alien orchestral sound with nothing but his 13 guitars and some recording equipment.

MAA - 'Tuhkankantajat' CD (Anima Arctica)
A groundbreaking band, right on the leading edge of what neofolk as a genre can be capable of. "Tuhkankantajat" draws together folk, classical, experimental, ambient and noise influences with quiet and organic perfection. Although built on a core of acoustic guitar, bass, drums, and pathos-laden Finnish vocals, MAA also use piano, chimes, strings, and various electrical devices. Each song invites us into a rich weave: introspective, sombre, edgy, emotionally complex. Mournful-wistful-joyous, weary elation, measured but indefatigable momentum. Aching beauty, inky and dark and heavy, yet dappled with sunlight like the earth in a primordial forest. "Tuhkankantajat" is darkness tempered with ecstasy; raw and sophisticated; deeply interior yet verging on the boundless. These Finnish masters have been quietly forging rich new possibilities for Neofolk. Ltd x 500 copies.

MAAAA & K2 - 'Split' CD (Triangle)
New compositions by a Warsaw duo and a Japanese surgeon are presented on this 50-minute album. MAAAA buzzes using the Korg MS-20 and Polivoks synthesizers, and they clink damaging iron pieces and coil springs. Dr. Kusafuka (K2) handles his stylus like a scalpel. Having decided not to employ metal garbage, he turns to extensive use of his analogue synth, creating loud and sharp pieces of work reminiscent of a surgical knife cutting flesh. All in all, be prepared for the heavy analogue modulations, drilling feedback, rich bass, pulsations, biting high frequencies and the hazardous loudness of the record. Extreme Harsh Noise!

MAAAA - 'Decay And Demoralization' CD (Mind Flare Media)
"Decay and Demoralization" comes at you with 6 tracks well over 60 minutes in length. This stuff is harsh and without a doubt the most extreme band coming out of Poland's underground today. "Decay and Demoralization" includes tons of Power Electronics and bizarre recordings that create an odd, otherworldly atmosphere stuck in a white noise frenzy. Banging metal, shrieking, dying, the cover of this album should say it all. These guys like to take the energy of punk rock and fuse it with noise, creating a sound all their own. An excellent showcase of what's to come. Extreme harsh analogue noise! Ltd x 500 copies.

MAAAA - 'Sampo Distortion' CD (24919 Records)
Power Electronics / Harsh Noise in the vein of Macronympha. This is the new album of Polish project Maaaa. Maaaa has created a completely pitiless thing, both in sound and sense. The mythical coffee-grinder of Kalevala like mighty annihilator rises from the bottom of the sea and grinds all this ugly world of evil and progress down. "Everything crashes, at out place everything crashes, here, now and then" - as one unknown lady said. And she was right, "Sampo Distortion" comes to you! Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak with booklet.
Delving ever deeper in the science of his art, this is Machinefabriek's take on what might be the most common sensation of all - the colours around us. Originating from the exhibition "Colour Tales", held at the WM Gallery in Amsterdam in 2011, these tracks are based on ideas from a series of intriguingly visual and original short stories on the theme of colours, written by Latvian writer Imants Ziedonis. The result is an album of meticulously crafted drones with depth, details and a sense of adventure. Soundscapes for an audience of careful listeners. Close your eyes. Can you see the colour you are listening to? Digipak.

MACHINEFABRIEK - 'Daas' CD (Cold Spring CSR128CD)
The tracks on "Daas" have been carefully picked to form a provoking, haunting journey. What the tracks have in common is a sense of nostalgic graininess. As with the music of Philip Jeck, The Caretaker or William Basinski, these tracks are full of degrading melodies and dusty ambience. 'Daas' is the previously unreleased opening track of the album, and features contributions by the great Richard Skelton. 'Flotter', 'Koploop' and 'Grom' were previously available on small run self released EPs, while 'Onkruid' was a track previously released on 'A Room Forever', as an expensive and extremely limited 12" boxset. All are now brought to a wider audience. Presented in a matt laminate digipak.
MACHINEFABRIEK - 'Duotoon' 3" Metallised CD (None)
A most refreshing, back-to-basics composition from Rutger Zuydervelt. 'Duotoon' is said to be inspired by the works of Alvin Lucier and Steinbruchel - an intriguing pairing of influences, but you can certainly hear their respective fingerprints all over this fine concoction. As Zuydervelt himself is keen to point out, there are "no dusty vinyl crackles, textural field recordings or grainy guitars here... just pure tones." A statement like that is itself music to the ears, implicitly acknowledging and shunning elements that are increasingly becoming platitudinous mainstays of the ambient/microsound genre. 'Duotoon' is all about nuanced harmonic interplay and layered micro-intervals, drawing the ear toward clever phasing effects and infinitesimal melodic development. On the surface it's all very simple, but it's within this economical, back-to-basics construction that the piece's great strength resides. Beautifully presented on a 3" metallised CD in a card sleeve.
This album is a collaboration between leading Moscow independent multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Andrei Suchilin and Krasnoyarsk-based electronic sound-designer Sergei Turko. These two talents draw together the diverse elements of their musical training to conjure up landscapes of modern electro-acoustic and electronic. Warm electronics and textures are woven throughout. The recording is independently produced and published by Suchilin's own Objective Music record label. Russian import.
