HOROLOGIUM & K. MEIZTER - 'Decorated Silence' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
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.
HOROLOGIUM - 'A Handful Of Dust And Ashes' CD (Zoharum)
"A Handful of Dust and Ashes” is a collection of tracks recorded during various occasions, but united here by a peculiar sediment of dust and rust; it’s a journey in time from the strictly limited “A Handful of Dust” (Cynfeirdd, 2005) to “Opium” (Void Rekordz, 2005), both long out of print. The (re)collection is crowned by three tracks performed live in Barcelona and Bologna in 2008 and 2009. Includes a collaboration with Artefactum. The artwork by Fab and Sophie embody fin de siècle that has never been that convincing and tangible. 6-panel digipak.

HOROLOGIUM - 'Fyre' 10" (Midnight Productions)
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! Ritual industrial / ambient. Artwork by K. Meizter (Beyond Sensory Experience). Ltd x 300.
HOROLOGIUM - 'Le Paradis Des Chasseurs' CD (Twilight Records)
"Le Paradis des Chasseurs” contains material from two 3" MCDs: "Songs For Hunters” (Ltd x 100, Bunkier Productions) and "Paradise Inverted” (Ltd x 150, Old Europa Cafe) - both of which embody Polish act Horologium’s most bombastic recordings to date. We believe that this sonic output needs much more recognition! An additional bonus track was recorded with the wonderful assistance from Juan A. (Der Arbeiter). Digipak.

HOROLOGIUM - 'Tellurian Anthems' LP (La Esencia)
Poland's Horologium need hardly any introduction. Over the years they have managed to create their own musical language and win many hearts in the post-industrial milieu. On "Tellurian Anthems" Martial trumpets, Orchestral fury and tribal percussion have been skillfully combined with delicate Neoclassical fragments, dreamy Ambient parts and female recitation. Sea waves singing alongside gentle piano tunes, radio broadcasts fight against air raid sirens, fire meeting water meeting fire... Around 40mins of music. Ltd x 333 copies in a stunning, heavyweight gatefold sleeve with an elegant A2 poster.

HOROLOGIUM - 'The Fire Sermon' CD (Divine Comedy)
"The Fire Sermon" is based upon pessimistic views on history, fate of human kind and T.S. Elliot's poetry ("The Waste land"). This release combines the darkest side of traditional symphonic industrial (from SPK "Leichenschrei" to CMI acts such as Memorandum or Heid) with heavy and desperate tensions similar to Aghiatrias and Omnicore. With the addition of some folkish and liturgical elements from Eastern Europe, "The Fire Season" presents a very serious and impressive opus from this Polish act in a completely nihilistic way. Ltd x 500 copies in a beautiful sepia 6-panel fold-out card envelope.

VA - 'Pere-Lachaise' CD (Steinklang / Divine Comedy)
A great compilation of dark and neoclassical music, dedicated to Père-Lachaise cemetery, which is one of the most romantic and mysterious places in this holy world. It's also an unmissable reference in gloomy and cinematic "tragical" culture. This musical journey is depicted by four acts (2 tracks each) from the new emerging Dark-Ambiant and Neo-Symphonic scene: Horologium, Project Winter, Artefactum and Foundation Hope. The mood is dark, menacing and epic at times with Horologium being the most martial act. The CD is packed in a beautiful 7" booklet with images by Fabrice Billard. Art and history beyond the grave.
