ALL HAIL THE TRANSCENDING GHOST - 'All Hail The Transcending Ghost' CD (Cold Spring CSR122CD)
The debut album from AHTTG - a joint collaboration between Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Toroidh, Folkstorm etc) and Tim Bertilsson (Fear Falls Burning, Switchblade). The Swedish duo have created arguably one of the most haunting drone-dark-ambient-industrial works in recent years, invoking the spirits of old Nordvargr, meets the sludge-doom vibe of Tim's hellish guitar. "...truly the most scary music I have recorded" (Nordvargr). An icy chill down your spine... a cold hand on your shoulder... you are never alone in the darkness.
FEAR FALLS BURNING - 'Frenzy Of The Absolute' CD (Conspiracy Records)
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... Over the past 2 years FFB has manifested itself as a wilful and unique statement in the ever expanding drone music genre. Digipak.

FEAR FALLS BURNING - 'The Carnival Of Ourselves' CD (Tonefloat)
When "The Carnival Of Ourselves" was originally released on vinyl (2006, Tonefloat), Belgian legend Dirk Serries had only just started recording under the name of Fear Falls Burning. This album turned out to be decisive in shaping his vision of an ongoing drone-manifesto. "The Carnival of Ourselves" pointed towards an immersive and ghostly ambient sound. The release builds into a dense, dirge-like drone-sheet, then intriguingly cools off to a disturbing, haunted soundscape. Comes in deluxe mini album cardboard sleeves with obi.

FEAR FALLS BURNING - 'We Slowly Lift Ourselves From Dust' 10" Picture Disc (A Silent Place)
A 28 minute-set of all new music by Fear Falls Burning (a VidnaObmana project), exploring the darker and nihilistic regions of drone music. Minimal repetitive motives which slowly evolve and expand into two unsettling harmonies of minor and solitude. The sounds vary from gritty, dirty guitar loops to long sonic landscapes with dense walls of sound. With no overdubs or post-production effects involved, the compositions progress in an organic and natural way, giving the music a special feeling and soul that is missing from many recordings these days. Presented on a stunning 10" picture disc with sticker seal. Ltd x 499 copies. A Silent Place is a sub-label of Small Voices, Italy.
FEAR FALLS BURNING - 'When Mystery Prevades The Well, The Promise Sets Fire' LP (Tonefloat)
The first in a series of brand new studio drones Fear Falls Burning is currently recording. This exclusive vinyl for Tonefloat is the initiation of a change in method and playing for Fear Falls Burning. Not only has he turned around his studio in order to accommodate the new performances but the subtle incorporation of new elements will bring out an extra dimension in the vintage Fear Falls Burning drone. This LP features two pieces, one per side, that are equally harmonic as powerful. Fear Falls Burning's approach to playing the guitar chords changed, the production is different and the inclusion of guest musician Dave Banderplas (Llips) on subtle cymbal percussion marks this release as the first gentle step in Fear Falls Burning's further exploration of the drone. Pressed in an edition of 500 copies on heavy 180gm vinyl and presented in a stunning gatefold sleeve!
