Four years after their acclaimed album 'The Mantle', Agalloch delivers their new album, 'Ashes Against The Grain'. Always progressing but never losing touch with their dark metal roots, the band's third album unites elements of black metal, Scandinavian prog, and post-rock with the band's signature brooding style. "Agalloch is the most important band in the United States and simply one of the best bands in the world." (The Metal Observer).
DENSE VISION SHRINE - 'Time Lost In Oblivion' CD & DVD (First Fallen Star)
Although it mysteriously shares a similar title and artwork with "Lost Time in Oblivion", "Time Lost in Oblivion" is a completely new album with no known connection to the 2007 release. Building upon a solid foundation of dark ambient, Dense Vision Shrine also employs sampled sounds and sparse rhythm to carefully design the listening experience of a realm where time itself has stopped, of a blackened voyage into oblivion. Each track of the album is distinctive, yet always possessing the signature of Dense Vision Shrine and proving unmistakably bleak. Ltd x 500 copies in a DVD case with bonus DVD of visual material used for the background screening during live performances.

FABIO ORSI & VALERIO COSI - 'We Could For Hours' CD (A Silent Place)
"We Could For Hours is instability. It represents the will to open the gates of unknown. It is the dark, whispered sounds and hidden truths. Chaos. And now here it starts, everything takes form, sensations rise, objects acquire colours, distorted vision but still a vision of reality... Silence. Sounds follow themselves but always hidden in a veil of mystery, words are mute, everything is listening attentively to the enchanting melody of nature... Everything is nothing. Nothing is the time. Time becomes memory and memory brings us to happy thoughts that rise first, then fall in the end. Hallucinations. The precariousness feeling is overwhelming us, tollings of a clock without hands are molesting our ears and they scan the slow and endless flowing of life. Too late to be back. There's no possibility. We have to live desolate countrysides burnt by an August sun. Lysergic vision. Void." Krautrock, Drone, Experimental, Ambient. Digifile.

FUNERARY CALL - 'Dark Waters Stirred' CD (Fall Of Nature Records)
Heralded as one of the progenitors of black ambient music, Funerary Call (aka Harlow MacFarlane of Sistrenatus) returns from dormancy with his darkest release to date. "Dark Waters Stirred" is a ceremonial maelstrom of ominous electronics, doom-laden guitars and dark ambient textures. An audial descent into ritualistic obscurity and misanthropy. Features guest appearances from the likes of Deathlord (Blasphemy, ex-Conqueror), and Troy Southgate (H.E.R.R., Seelenlicht) amongst others. Australian import.

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.
NEKRASOV / MOON / NEKROS MANTEIA - 'The Haunting Resonance' CD (Fall Of Nature Records)

Blending the boundaries between dissonant Black Metal, hypnotic droning soundscapes and destructive sounds of dark ambience. This is audial darkness in it's purest form. Ltd x 500 copies.

NEST - 'Trail Of The Unwary' CD (Corvus Records)
Eerie, acoustic, calm Nordic ambient/folk music played on the kantele, giving the music a medieval touch. Beautiful sounds dedicated to nature and inspired by her beauty… and of legends untold. "A hidden pool amidst the woods where the otters come to play, an owl's faint call echoing through the woods, sparkling waterfalls and vast snow-covered landscapes where the reindeer folk and wolves hold their domain. These are only some of the things with the atmosphere Nest strives to capture.†Though Finnish, the music of Nest has a Celtic feel and even reminds of Clannad in places!

SUBKLINIK - 'Musik For Dekomposition' CD (Fall Of Nature Records)

Enter "Musik For Dekomposition", the latest full length from Subklinik, featuring six torturous expressions that convey a foreboding atmosphere abundant with feelings of death, and isolation, manifested through a sonic vortex of analogue filth and decay. "Lo-fi, unsettling, and ultra grim, this immediately takes me back to the early-mid' 90s and the heyday of the Slaughter Productions cassette scene" (Malignant).

SUTCLIFFE JUGEND - 'The Fall Of Nature' CD (Ground Fault Recordings / Hospital Productions)
"The Fall Of Nature" is an epic, grandiose drone piece - almost one hour of pure electronics that echoes the masters of the form. The album grows in intensity throughout the recording making for an unexpected release. There are many sides of darkness and many ways to express it. "The Fall Of Nature" is the balance of sound, in a listenable format. The initial feeling is that of an almost holy, heavenly sound, the skies opening in tribute to the nature which is falling. Yet fans of classic SJ will be plenty pleased at the psychotically manic conclusion that will not disappoint any fans of PE terror. This music takes aim at several nerve centers at once. This is not just Noise, Drone or Power Electronics, but something new that mixes various elements of each together for the first time.

The fact that nearly all of the songs included here are either exclusive to this project or rare tracks that aren't otherwise available anymore serves to emphasize the extraordinary character of this release. Over 100 minutes of rare and exclusive tracks from Ainulindalë, Bauda, Dornenreich, Empyrium, Havnatt, Les Discrets (2 tracks), Lönndom, Musk Ox, Nebelung, Nest, Neun Welten, Nhor, Nucleus Torn, October Falls, Orplid, Syven, Tenhi, Ulver and Vàli (2 tracks).
