DEADWOOD - 'Ramblack' CD (Cold Spring CSR104CD)
"Ramblack" is the follow up to Deadwood's successful 2005 album "8 19" (CSR53CD). Over the past 3 years this Swedish artist has been toiling away, creating a new black ambient / death noise masterpiece and "Ramblack" is the result. Cloaked in a more raw and morbid sound then its predecessor, this album truly changes ones perspective of audial darkness. This analogue beast of an album layers the tonal prayers of demons and the distorted cries of angels, sickness and depravity. True Death Electronics. The soundtrack to your end. "Ramblack" features guest vocals from Norwegian Black Metal legend Maniac (Skitliv, ex-Mayhem), whose vocal approach on the song 'Forakt' shows the full range of his capacity. Truly one of the most sick and twisted pieces of sonic art ever recorded. Enjoy the disease!

GOVERNMENT ALPHA - 'Seventh Continent' CD (Dotsmark)
The last CD of the 00's by Japanese Noise hero Yasutoshi Yoshida. "Ah, the sweet rush of harsh noise... Seventh Continent, which throbs and contorts wildly over its seven hefty tracks, is an exceptional behemoth of a noise record. It packs the punch of a luminous supernova, making for a pulverizing release of impulsive yet calculated abrasion. Over tracks like Yoshida never remains supine - this noise isn't even momentarily left to drone or slowly build; its layers are constantly being dropped in and ripped out from underneath, earning the press materials' categorization as “extreme harsh noise.” There are no breaks, no time for thought; the chaos rips and whirls seamlessly until the last breath of its gasping finale, “Vague Parting,” which wraps up the record with a tormented ten minutes of baneful mayhem" (Indieville).

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.
Exclusive release from the Doom / Noise project of Maniac (ex-MAYHEM), featuring Kvarforth (SHINING), and with special guest vocals by Attila (SUNN O))), MAYHEM). From Black Metal through Funeral Doom and Demonic Noise, Skitliv cover all the bases in modern extreme sonics. The CD version includes bonus tracks from Skitliv's live performance at the Camden Underworld, London, 13th December 2007, with a special intro from CURRENT 93 (David Tibet & Andrew Liles).
SKITLIV - 'Bloodletting' 10" Picture Disc (Cold Spring CSR115P)
Limited edition Picture disc from SKITLIV, the project of former MAYHEM front man MANIAC. With a line up that includes SHINING's NIKLAS KVARFORTH, SKITLIV is a disturbed, and disturbing, blackened doom journey through the mind of this legendary Black Metal vocalist who was one of the original exponents of the genre, and is one of its most recognisable figures. This picture disc is made extra special not only by the inclusion of 'Who Will Deliver Us From Gold and Planets' by CURRENT 93 - an introductory collage destruct that was created at the request of Maniac and is dedicated to him, but also because the artwork that is used for the side containing this track is part of one of Tibet's own paintings. Ltd x 777 copies. No repress.
Tsurubami is the latest Acid Mothers Temple off-shoot project, featuring guitarist Makoto Kawabata, percussionist Nobuka Emi and bassist Hiroshi Higashi. It becomes apparent early on in their "Tenrin" recording that what the trio is going after is complete and total annihilation. Sharp pricks of repetitive guitar, raging solos, pounding drums, psychedelic sections full of whacked out guitars and primal drums, metal-hammer, feedback laced mayhem sections. An aural orgasm like you've rarely heard it before!
Full-packed (70mins) and well disposed comp filled with high quality noise / industrial / experimental mayhem, mostly from Sweden. Featuring: Barrikad, Blod, Government Alpha, Institut, IRM, Irgun Z'wai Leumi, Jarl, Koeff, Martin Bladh (IRM / Skin Area), MNEM, Moljebka Pvlse, Ochu, Sewer Election, Sharon's Last Party, Skin Area and Treriksroset.
