LASIK SURGERY - 'Cyclo' CD & DVD (Silentes Minimal Editions)
Tense electronic plots, calm ambiental stasis, inserts of sharp and harsh metallic sonorities, distortions, filaments of subliminal melodies, masses of dark and penetrating low frequency drones. The journey of Lasik Surgery starts with a whirlwind of atmospheres and perpetually prismatic sonorities that have a big impact on the listener. This project was born from the minds of Pierpaolo Zoppo (Mauthausen Orchestra), the memorable noise-power electronic author, and Gianluca Favaron, a skilled master controller and sound assembler with a long experience, already active under other aliases (Ab'she, Under the Snow, Metal Music Machine). The first exciting chapter of Lasik Surgery comes with a free DVD that includes two video clips created by Enrico Bressan. Digifile.

MARIBOR - 'De Immenso' CD (Silentes)
Based on a concept by Stefano Gentile, this CD is inspired by the works and life of Giordano Bruno. In addition to Stefano Gentile himself, this new work includes contributions by Maurizio Bianchi / M.B., Mauthausen Orchestra / Pierpaolo Zoppo, Nimh / Giuseppe Verticchio, Andrea Marutti and Gianluca Favaron. Almost 80 minutes of driving and all-involving music where bleak and dark atmospheres alternate with consuming assaults of Industrial distorted sonic masses, cinematic and descriptive passages enriched by detailed layers of field recordings, throbbing electronic progressions, melodic inserts, strings parts, guitar arpeggios, soft, slow and hypnotic ambient stasis. A work that gathers together some of the most representative artists both of the historical and of the more recent groundbreaking experimental and industrial Italian scene. Outsize sleeve.

MAURIZIO BIANCHI & MAUTHAUSEN ORCHESTRA - 'Spiritual Noises' CD (Old Europa Cafe)

MAUTHAUSEN ORCHESTRA - 'Digression' CD (Silentes Minimal Editions)
After the recent reprint of historical material collected on "Sonic Deprivation", Mauthausen Orchestra (aka Pierpaolo Zoppo) returns with brand new tracks and a new album where the fury and aggressiveness of his usual harsh sonorities of a Noise / Power-Electronics nature are merged with more quiet, wide and dark ambient parts, sometimes surprising, with unexpected and undisclosed pulsating rhythmic-electronic inserts. A great album for a project that has recently born again with an unsuspected and inspired artistic vital energy. Digipak.
The energy, genius and intransigence of the music of the historic "cult" power electronics project Mauthausen Orchestra (Pierpaolo Zoppo), united to the original, eclectic, rigorous experimental research carried on for 15 years by Giuseppe Verticchio, mostly with his Nimh solo project. Disturbing images of unhealthy places, nocturne landscapes covered with fog, psychotic nightmares, tormenting and delirious, described with sonorities of great impact and incredible dramatic force. A dark and long itinerary, to be wrapped in the spirals of a time that progressively seems to slow down and stop, folded in on itself... suspended in the void, without offering any way out. A sonic adventure for brave souls. Digipak.
