KRISTUS KUT - 'Butterfly King' CD (Mind Flare Media)
Seven tracks of dark, ritualistic ambient. This album is built around the concept of sexual liberation, the listener brought along the path starting from 'Cocoon' and ending with 'Vagina Libertatis'. The work starts out minimal, soft and mysterious, slowly building to an energetic combination of tribal sounds and harsh chanting. The artwork features Kristus Kut himself, being led from his cocoon by a gathering of sexually enticing female creatures. The darkness of the back, however, suggests the turmoil in transformation this album creates.

MAAAA - 'Decay And Demoralization' CD (Mind Flare Media)
"Decay and Demoralization" comes at you with 6 tracks well over 60 minutes in length. This stuff is harsh and without a doubt the most extreme band coming out of Poland's underground today. "Decay and Demoralization" includes tons of Power Electronics and bizarre recordings that create an odd, otherworldly atmosphere stuck in a white noise frenzy. Banging metal, shrieking, dying, the cover of this album should say it all. These guys like to take the energy of punk rock and fuse it with noise, creating a sound all their own. An excellent showcase of what's to come. Extreme harsh analogue noise! Ltd x 500 copies.

TORTURING NURSE - 'Il Comunismo Doveva Morire' CD (Mind Flare Media)
Absolutely devastating, this album is one single track running almost an hour and fourteen minutes long. The prolific Harsh Chinese Noise band suddenly breaks in from nowhere and immediately begins an assault on your ears, suddenly switching and transitioning to a variety of different power electronics landscapes. The artwork sums it up well, a symbolic representation of a dead political system. The back features similar art taken from famous propaganda and manipulated, ending with more political imagery inside and a CD that rests upon a pile of skulls. Without a doubt the harshest thing these guys have ever done. This stuff is powerful and not for the faint of hearing.
