ASHLEY C - 'Timeless Reality' CD (Freak Animal)
The early tape material power electronics associations of Ashley C are gone. This Danish project has been progressing and conquering new territories of sound. "Timeless Reality" is an interesting study of the less noisy and less harsh side of electronics and scrap metal. It's coarse in fidelity, creating a nearly suffocating atmosphere, yet delicate and detailed with a rich texture that evolves from one song to another.

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. Alas, prayers were of no avail... Project from member of Ukrainian BM act Hate Forest. Ltd x 250 copies.

WILL OVER MATTER - 'Lust For Knowledge' CD (Freak Animal)
Finnish project Will Over Matter (Harald Mentor of Ride For Revenge, Total Headfuck) continues its path to new dimensions. Utterly unique approach bordering genius and utterly insane. Making choices that nobody else dares. Will Over Matter's take on esoteric-industrial noise abandons the cliche's of dark ambient / reverb drenched ritual muzak etc. It doesn't sound "retro", yet the approach more in common with Maurizio Bianchi and Musiikkivyöry than contemporary noise.
Surprisingly, the first CD-proper release by this obscure Russian industrial-noise unit, with several extremely limited releases in their back catalogue from as far back as 2002. This CD marks one of their biggest highlights, with crude physically crafted industrial-noise. Even if it crosses borders towards purity of harsh noise once in a while, the spirit of Soviet factory landscapes is always present. Two long tracks that develop during their playing time to different atmospheres.
