AIN SOPH - 'Oktober' CD & 3" DVD (Old Europa Cafe)
Reissue of Ain Soph's 2002 album with new artwork. The come back of the Roman masters after 10 years! All vocals are in Italian with their usual acoustic instrumentation and their typical keyboard sounds. The songs are similar to their previous album "Aurora", but with an additional rocking electric guitar. Once more a work above all standards. The more unusual industrial project which still works from inside the industrial world. Tales of a Russian soldier during the October revolution. Probably even more surprising than "Aurora". The disc that you have been waiting for. Ltd x 1000 copies in a digipak with a bonus 3" DVD.
ALBIREON - 'Mr. Nightbird Hates Blueberries' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
A dark comedy or a folk drama about drunk birds, mocking spiders, empty bottles and lost souls. For this decadent party, recorded between late 2008 to early 2010 and graced by great emotional neofolk ballads and more experimental gloomy soundscapes, Albireon invited some very selected guests to share this tasty blueberry cake and offer the album a different palette of vocal nuances and a multi-national coven of damned artists' parade: David E. Williams, Lloyd James (Naevus), Sonne Hagal, Future Whirl (formerly Oberon) and Die Weisse Rose are the selected guests of Mr. Nightbird's party. These great artists offered a priceless contribution to Albireon's music and lyrics, and perfectly painted the sad main character, in his struggling pilgrimage toward love, loss, forgiveness and rebirth, but all seen through the drunk eye of the mocking spiders.
ANDREW KING - 'The Harbinger Of The Decaying Mind' 10" (Old Europa Cafe)

AUTOPSIA - 'The Berlin Requiem' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
Great come-back from this old-school Industrial legend, after a very long silence. The more intriguing and acclaimed east European industrial band of all time will surprise you! Be prepared for a new Enlightening but dark masterpiece in the Neoclassical / Experimental / Dark Ambient vein. Presented in an elegant digipak.
Candor Chasma is the new electronic Italian duo of Corrado Altieri (Monosonik, Uncodified) and Simon Balestrazzi (T.A.C., Dream Weapon Ritual). The band name comes from outer space (Candor Chasma is one of the largest canyons in the Valles Marineris canyon system on Mars) and their debut album is a 5-part hallucinogenic voyage inside analogue whirls, multilayered textures made of tapes and white noise, psychedelic frequencies and cerebral ambient-noise. The duo rewrites and revises old school industrial, creating contemporary hypnotic atmospheres and up to date power-electronics explosions yet making full reference to the experimental side of the grey area.

CIRCUS JOY - 'Laetitia' CD (Old Europa Cafe / Misty Circles)

"Laetitia" displays the two faces of Circus Joy: sensual, sick love ballads on one side and the crazy, electric, rides on the other. Circus Joy is a group of non-musicians, long time friends who come together to produce noise by experimenting and improvising with their instruments. Ltd x 500 copies.

A new treasure of minimal Noir-Cabaret with Mediterranean sounds, with Rock’n’Western saloon melodies, with vintage style hits dealing with 60’s like sounds. Songs to be listened while drinking a good Italian red wine and smoking an unfiltered cigarette. Songs for nostalgic rainy days and for summer sunsets.

FOLKSTORM - 'Archive Series 5 - The Culturecide Campaigns' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
The Culturecide Campaigns was released in 2000, only available for one month through MP3.com, during which time only 39 copies were sold. After 10 years, these recordings have now finally been restored, redesigned and remastered and features two bonus tracks. This album was recorded back to back with "Victory or death" and carries the same menacing feeling, but with a bit more structure and emphasis on pounding rhythmic industrial noise. If you want rough old-school industrial this is what you need! The campaign continues.
"Folkmusik" is a classic Folkstorm album with its roots firmly placed in the old-school industrial style, but there is a suffocating quality to it that is new. While a lot of the tracks are rhythmic, harsh and ugly compositions as you would expect, there are also a few ones which are monotonous monuments of fear, isolation, despair and tension. Digipak.

FOLKSTORM - 'Ortodox' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
Screaming vocals, harsh analogue filter sweeps, pulsing distorted sines and squares... Folkstorm has never sounded this angry and mean. Maybe it is a reflection of the current state of things - regression, mass unemployment and a corrupt financial system about to implode. "Ortodox" is a return to the fine tradition of making music all analogue - no computers, no sequencers or modern trickery. A pure celebration of classic Swedish Industrial music, and a protector of values that are about to be lost.
FOLKSTORM - 'The Forgotten Tapes' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
After searching for an old Folkstorm recording in his vaults, Nordvargr discovered more unreleased material than he was looking for: old recordings from 1997 and 1998, all previously unreleased! Now, after more than 10 years, these old recordings see the the light of day. This is all harsh gritty oldschool Folkstorm, served up fresh and carefully remastered from the original analogue tapes. Also included are the four tracks that were intended to be released as a spilt CD with LHD. Presented in a nice digipak.

Also accompanying Gnomonclast for this release are: Art Abscons, Cult Of Youth, Awen, Stahlfaust, State Research Bureau, Giftstrauch and Front Sonore. This album exemplifies its title, for never before have so many diverse artists gathered together to tell a coherent, yet complex narrative concerning time's certain movement toward an end.

K. MEIZTER - 'Tetraphobia' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
After channeling all his musical energy into Beyond Sensory Experience for the past two years, K. Meizter finally returns with a new solo exertion. Spawned during the sinister last months of a northern year, Tetraphobia scans through the kafkaesque layers of human anxiety, and continues K. Meizter’s distinctive manipulation of sound, melody and pulse. Following 2 previous solo albums K. Meizter’s new release develops even more unsettling atmospheres of reflection and alteration. With 10 tracks and over an hour of foreboding avant-garde, "Tetraphobia" is K. Meizter’s most convincing work thus far. Dark and solemn.
K11 is Pietro Riparbelli. The sound sources for this album were recorded at the enchanting park of Monsters of Bomarzo. The park of Monsters of Bomarzo was devised by the architect Pirro Ligorio (he completed the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Rome after the death of Michelangelo and built Villa d'Este in Tivoli) on commission of Prince Pier Francesco Orsini, called Vicino, only to vent the heart broken at the death of is wife Giulia Farnese. The park was created in 1552 as "Villa of Wonders" to be the only one of it's kind in the world. Incredible but true, the Park of Monsters remained in complete oblivion till 1954 and only few people was aware about all the fantastic treasures contained within the park for over 400 years ! K11 recorded the soul of this park of Monsters and Wonders and after re-working the sounds he delivers us a trip between reality and dream. Psychedelic, ritual ambient music from an other space, from an other era, from an other land.

The uncompromising marriage of Martial Industrial, Acoustic Folk and Solipsistic Nihilism; Luftwaffe continues to forge new awakenings within the Post Industrial genre. Digipak.
Debut release by this new Italian project, set up in 2006 by Redux (Kirlian Camera) and his wife Claudia Morel. Of course the master inspires the follower; Lux Anodyca sometimes sounds pretty Kirlian Camera-like but on the other hand, they explore wider fields. Lux Anodyca dives into the realms of experimental music, gothic ballads, noir-cabaret and minimal electronics, which definitely confirms their very open-minded way of composing. Think of something like a mix of Kirlian Camera vs. David E. Williams... like a Noir movie soundtrack and songs sung by drunken singers. Ltd x 300 copies.

MAURIZIO BIANCHI / PETER ANDERSSON / HENRIK NORDVARGR BJORKK / ERIK JARL - 'S.F.A.G. / S.F.A.G. De-Composed' 2 x CD (Old Europa Cafe)
Reissue of the 1983 cassette on the legendary Broken Flag label. "The modulatory shaking of S.F.A.G is the oxygenating prelude to the irradiating bionic music later developed through works such as “Endometrio” and “Carcinosi” and represents a milestone in my pre-apocalyptic production which later will culminate into the horrid of “Armaghedon”. The exegesis of this work reflects a strong attachment to smooth and round effects of the roughness of the frantic early days, but with a constant preference for the symbiosis between well preordered sound masses and not well defined radio broadcasts, like nebulae drifting in a space in trembling condensation." Digitally remastered by Peter Andersson (Raison D’être). The Original album is accompanied by a second CD with 3 de-compositions using extracts of the original S.F.A.G. recordings, created by 3 well known Nordic industrial artists: Peter Andersson (Raison D'Être), Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412) and Erik Jarl (IRM). Gatefold mini LP sleeve with vinyl-look CDs.
"Marmo" (Marble for Italian) is devoted to Italian and particularly Venetian marble. Masami Akita visited and played in this magic Italian city several times and was impressed by all the marbles used in the Venetian buildings and paintings. The 3 tracks composing this album are entitled "Merzbotanica-parallela" - an ode to "Botanica parallela", the book written by the Italian author Leo Lionni who is also the inventor of such botanic science, a parallel hyper-real botanic where imagination is more reliable than reality. A real psychadelic tribute by the Japanese master of noise to Venice and Italy. Enter this new "Merzcolored-Merzbotanic-Merzpsychomuzak" full of scratching rhythms and psychoactive noises and let your brain explode.

Somewhere between the melodic folk-inflected charm of Italian 60’s songwriters and the cabaret swoon of French chansonniers, Roma Amor’s new album is instinctively romantic and sophisticated. This album will seduce you with its summer-evening mellowness before breaking your heart with its beautifully sensual croon. Wonderful ballads and torch songs about love inspired by the epic, fatalistic rugged grandeur of Aznavour, Brel, Piaf, and 60’s Italian songwriters, though in a much quieter and more delicate setting. The album is sung in Italian with some French touches and the songs are from Roma Amor’s own harvest. The result is an acoustic and intimate album for fans of well-crafted singer-songwriting. Digipak with lyrics booklet.
2005 album from this great Sweden power industrial duo and Raison D'Etre side project! Fixation is in our mind, and the world may be a cruel place just as reflected in "Fixation". This album mainly contains unreleased material recorded in 1998-1999, in the vein of the earlier album "Genetic Implosion" but way more harsh and brutal, there are also two completely new tracks recorded in 2004 showing a change in direction by combining doom metal and industrial elements in a masterful way. Moreover there is a live track recorded at "Nursery Injection Festival" in Stockholm 1998. "Fixation" may damage your health but that won’t kill you, only for an hour.

STRATVM TERROR - 'Pain Implantations' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
Formed by aggression and pain the aptly titled 'Pain Implantation' is probably a good description of the music, given the focus of the approach. Sparse and suffocating atmospheres float forth while distorted sicken tones are injected. The music throughout the disc pounds on your skull without mercy and then slows down before the next eruption, ripping through your ears jamming them with feedback and beats tearing the mind apart. Every track has a nerve grating, tympanic membrane agitating attraction, sonically careens off of the interior fortress of the body.

WEIHAN - 'Symphonies Of Divination' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
The 2nd album of this very promising project from the medieval lands bordering the cold North Sea, Flanders (North-Belgium). Dramatically straying from the neofolk path of their debut album “Galder”, “Symphonies of Divination” offers dark and bombastic compositions with clear references to Slavonic, German and Scandinavian classical music. Heavy percussion, assiduous spiccato string sections, dramatic horn accents and haunting choirs form the backbone of this album. The cold and eerie narrative vocals enhance the grim atmosphere of the music even further. The lyrics, mainly in English but with hints of Dutch, Old-Norse and Swedish, are devoted to Indo-Germanic religion, myth and legend, the Nietzschean spirit and relentlessly attest to the grotesque decline of the modern world. Ltd x 540 copies in a digipak with booklet.
