FLEURETY - 'Evoco Bestias' 7" (Aesthetic Death Records)
The second release in the Fleurety 7" vinyl series! This band from Ytre Enebakk, Norway, has been hailed as one of the originators of the style that has lately come to be known as avant-garde metal. "Evoco Bestias" features the first new tracks from Fleurety since 1998. These 2 tracks serve as a powerful evocation of the feral spirit in man. As well as founding members Alexander Nordgaren and Svein Egil Hatlevik, the recording features Andreas Barsleth and Ayna B. Johansen. "Evoco Bestias" was recorded at Crystal Canyon Studios, Oslo in 2008, with the assistance of Tore Ylwisaker (Ulver).

SEHNSUCHT - 'Wüste' CD (Cold Spring CSR124CD)
Former MAYHEM front man MANIAC, whose band SKITLIV has proved to be a surprising departure from the Black Metal genre for which he was best known for over 20 years, has formed a side-project with wife Vivian Slaughter, bass player/vocalist with the Japanese all-girl band GALLHAMMER, SKITLIV's guitarist Ingvar Magnusson and experimentalist Andrew Liles (NURSE WITH WOUND). Unlike SKITLIV, which is a noise/doom amalgam, with Maniacs vocals still firmly rooted in Black Metal, SEHNSUCHT is in the noise / darkwave / ambient genre, with any vestiges of Black Metal pared away. 6-panel digipak.
