2009 CD reissue of (ex-Wolf Eyes) Aaron Dilloway's "Chain Shot" LP (2007). 'With only tape loops, metal, and horns (and sometimes, it seems, metal on horns) the two long pieces, 'Chain Shot' and 'Execution Dock' respectively, explore the ugly underbelly of noise before just scraping right through and aiming for the insides. In a genre that has quickly turned into a broad and often inaccurate description of a certain breed of every-man experimental music, Dilloway sticks to the old-fashioned definition of noise, doing battle with the materials in front of him as he continues the construction of his impressive body of work" (Ear Conditioned Nightmare). Contains a 28 minute bonus track. Digipak.

ALEX SANDERS - 'A Witch Is Born' CD (Mother Isle)
Alex Sanders (1926-1988) - "the King of the Witches" - was the most powerful witch in Britain. "Here, for the first time, he presents a full recording of the solemn initiation of a new member into the ancient Craft. Assisting him is his wife and High Priestess, Maxine, and a coven of their young witches. Alex himself is a hereditary witch; he was initiated by his grandmother when he was seven years old. For centuries the Craft was driven underground by persecution and intolerance. Today, though their innermost secrets may still be only told to witches, they can open a few pages of their Book of Shadows - and for those who seek to know more of this faith that is older than history, they can set up signposts to the way of Wicca, or wisdom. This record is such a signpost."

ALL HAIL THE TRANSCENDING GHOST - 'All Hail The Transcending Ghost' CD (Cold Spring CSR122CD)
The debut album from AHTTG - a joint collaboration between Henrik Nordvargr Bjorkk (MZ.412, Toroidh, Folkstorm etc) and Tim Bertilsson (Fear Falls Burning, Switchblade). The Swedish duo have created arguably one of the most haunting drone-dark-ambient-industrial works in recent years, invoking the spirits of old Nordvargr, meets the sludge-doom vibe of Tim's hellish guitar. "...truly the most scary music I have recorded" (Nordvargr). An icy chill down your spine... a cold hand on your shoulder... you are never alone in the darkness.
This year's frozen winter brought cold into the womb of this new Slovak Dark Ambient project - a horrifying, deeper and darker form of Slovak terror! This mystical project, in which the artist combines beautiful moods with destruction, combines deathly atmospherics with deep space textures, covered in a veil of mystery. The soundtrack for a movie in another time and place... for cleansing the soul or looking into an imaginary world to escape from reality. Ambiguous take you through the darkest corners of Slovakia's woods. Ltd x 333 copies in a metal box.
Russian post-industrial music from George Beloglazov, who also creates computer games with an unconventional author approach. The action takes place in March 1953 in an abandoned Soviet bunker - a place of strange experiments on the human psyche. The game explores such themes as the limits of mental possibilities, EVP, experiments with thought-transference and impact of fear on the human organism. The game soundtrack, presented on this CD, embodies the project's concept in sound. Imbued with an industrial atmosphere, leisurely soundscapes turn into states of calm estrangement and isolationism. Excursions into the unknown corners of the consciousness bring to its surface old memories and long forgotten yet vaguely familiar images... and laboratorial claustrophobia grows into light melancholia. This musical picture is performed in the trademark style of Anthesteria combining abstract dark ambient, melodic neoclassical and experimental sonic artifacts. Ltd x 500 copies in an A5 gatefold card sleeve with full-colour cards depicting game locations and fragments of a book about mental suggestions from 1962. Finished off in a nice card slipcase.
Third part of the 'IYHHH' series on Zorahum - aimed at showcasing debut albums by remarkable new artists. 'Acid Landscapes' includes 4 privately released albums with songs recorded between 2002 and 2009. This album collects the most atmospheric pieces from this series. 'Acid Landscapes' is a psychedelic journey through the city at night. The careful listener will find ambient textures, dub or illbient rhythmic structures, post-industrial atmospheres and even acid twist. More than 70 minutes of music that provokes and teases, yet fascinates. This album will be a nice surprise for fans of Scorn, Psychic TV, Coil (c. 'LSD') or Techno Animal material.

ARKTAU EOS - 'Ai Ma Ra' 2 x CD (Aural Hypnox)
"Ai Ma Ra" is a monumental album containing over 105 minutes of experimental elemental and ambient music, original in the literal sense of the word. More than music, it is 'ethnography of the unknown' in action, providing vistas into rarely glimpsed corners of reality. Created primarily on acoustic instruments, organs and harmonium, carefully mastered on vintage tape, the sound is equally earthy as it is otherworldly – a contradiction in terms maybe, but then "Ai Ma Ra" is not classified easily in any other respect either. It is a record in which to immerse one’s self over time, containing more than two years' worth of strange experiences and sensations distilled into a curious, potent elixir, the use of which may in its truest sense be determined only by the individual listener. Ltd x 1000 copies in a sturdy, deep green cardboard box stamped with the mark of Arktau Eos. Contained within is an 8-page booklet bound in tête-bêche format on high quality paper and a small talismanic print.
The debut MCD by Armon Kuilu is a funereal musical journey, two long progressive / folk compositions built out mostly of classical piano, strings, orchestral drums, singing, prayers and invocations in male and female voices. The soundscapes bring to mind images of forlorn cemetaries, initiatory cults, bloodletting, woodlands and altered states of consciousness. At times the melodies of chamber music break out into squeals, groans and crackling which haunt the space and resonate with the Finnish poetry, that most of the time reminds one of a satanic ceremony. This is not a generic so-called occult album with the usual Crowley spoken parts. Instead this is a deeply personal work with challenging classical and sometimes jazz or progressive melodies composed by the master behind the project and performed by real musicians with authentic instruments and also utilizing real actors for the various voices and spoken parts.

ARTEFACTUM - 'Sub Rosa' 7" (Drone Records)
The first vinyl release of the enchanting Polish act Artefactum. Described by herself as "Female Esoterica", "Sub Rosa" opens a vast space filled with different sounds coming from very far away, as nebulous melodies, whispers, voices and choirs, little clicks and cracks, with soft percussive structures appearing on Side B. The two pieces named "Rosa Alba" and "Rosa Rubea" (white & red rose) have a strong metaphorical alchemistic background, meaning the end point of all alchemistic transmutations. The overall release including the beautiful artwork gives the impression of an almost fabulous acoustic fantasy, so refined and almost caressing yet secretive at the same time.

Contain 9 songs taken from the original album, plus "Orlando, A Female" from the "Orlando" EP and Ataraxia's version of Franz Schubert's 'Ave Maria'. "Concerto No. 6" was inspired by Ataraxia's admiration for the stylistic canons of Baroque music, a music that incessantely pursued an aesthetical-formal elegance that was sometimes the mirror of an inner beauty. A deeply felt tribute to the Music Maestros of the past, a suffered research in the profound meaning of music, a personal homage to the impressive film of A. Corneau "Tous les matins du Monde", a dialogue between our earthly dimension and the ones we belong before being born and after death, an individual contribution to the Baroque harmonies and age, a subtle balance between formal beauty, passion and spontaneity, a singular excursion in the purity of sound.

BN contributed a classic example of their "Caveman Electronics", combined with laptop manipulations.

BLEIBURG - 'Pieces Of A Broken Dream' 2 x CD (Cold Spring CSR68CD)
Over the years many bands from the Industrial / Neofolk spectrum have collaborated with Croatian artist Bleiburg. Here, for the first time, those alliances are collected together in a double CD set. Each band brings their own unique flavour to their collaborative piece and Bleiburg also executes seven unreleased solo tracks. Features such renowned international artists as: Amir Baghiri, Aube, Cawatana, Cellar Of Rats (ex-Kerovnian), Harvest Rain, Larrnakh, Lonsai Maikov, Nocturne, Obscure Resistance, Project Toth, The Soil Bleeds Black, Telepherique, Thorn Agram and Vidna Obmana.
Over the course of the 12 tracks which comprise their 2nd album, "Born Again", Blood Axis explores an epic yet human universe in which gods are summoned, kingdoms rise, riddles are unlocked, love is lost, and worlds crumble. Whereas early Blood Axis music was marked by keyboards and samples, Blood Axis in 2010 is stripped down to an essential core of natural instrumentation - electric and acoustic strings, melodeon, piano, highland bagpipes and Galician gaita, marching percussion, the mysterious Annabel-a-tron, and Bobby BeauSoleil's growling, prison-vintage guitar eruptions circa 1976. Underpinning the album and propelling much of the music is the traditional Irish bodhrán, recorded here with unprecedented power. Moynihan's ominous voice is well matched by Annabel Lee's elfin intonations, just as her violin finds a perfect counterpoint in Robert Ferbrache's protean guitar parts. Shot through by myth and romance, the expressive lyrics on "Born Again" have their roots in ancient and modern poetry, archaic invocations and tragic laments. Both unclassifiable and unforgettable: neither folk nor rock, traditional nor avant-garde, modern nor archaic, it is simply Blood Axis. To everything there is season. For those who are cursed, a time to die and to be forgotten. And for the blessed, a time to be born again: to live on, beyond death, in the minds of men. Now is the time for Blood Axis to be Born Again. Ltd x 700 copies in a stunning 6-panel gatefold sleeve with 12-page full sized booklet.

ERIC LUNDE - 'A World Of Hurt In The Kingdom Of God' CD (HCB Records)
The new admonishment from Eric Lunde (Boy Dirt Car). "A World Of Hurt In The Kingdom Of God" derives its name from a series of engravings Lunde did in 2004, the original title being "A World of Hurt in the Kingdom of Gosh". It is primarily a product of the concerns Lunde has (and expressed in his book "Prison Sex", from which the majority of the text on this album is taken from) with the latent cruelty of humans in regards to their alleged relationship with a fabricated supernatural being and how is it that religious people have to prove nothing, but the atheist ones have to prove everything. So what's there to be found in Lundes' dragnet this time regarding these issues? A dish of sober mischief noise served cold, bubonic industrial and irate sound poetry created in the detrimental corners of the mind where the proof reproduces the intimate bonds of brutality that men create between themselves.
Singular work from this Dutch-born Belgian composer who isolates elements from The Conet Project’s macabre collection of secret shortwave "number stations" and assembles them in massively brooding late night dronescapes, repeat tone clusters and flashes of phantom electricity. Something supremely disconcerting about the mechanised voices and occult number calls and put in this context the whole piece takes on a bizarre / surreal almost Nurse With Wound air. 'Shift Coordinate Points' refers to an excerpt from William Burrough's novel 'Nova Express. Edition of 300 copies.

FABIO ORSI & MAMUTHONES - 'The First Born' CD (A Silent Place)
"The First Born" contains four long tracks of dark, brooding modern psychedelia. Tthe whole album feels like an ancient sea ebbing and flowing on some distant alien shore, making for a curiously disjointed listening experience, at the same time peaceful and menacing. The ever-shifting sonic textures evoke both the starchildren krautrockers of old and more recent outer-world explorers but always keep a strong personal identity, firmly rooted in the current weird Italian take on space rock.

Debut opus from Fahl, founded by Dimo Dimov, Marcel P. and Cornelius Waldner in 2008. All the musicians are active participants in numerous groups from the dark folk, neoclassical and black metal genres.

After three years of intense work, Dark Ambient disciple False Mirror returns with his third full-length journey. With the timeless drones of his debut "Chronostatic Scenes" and the icy soundscapes on his highly acclaimed sophomore masterpiece "North" still resonating through space, solo artist Tobias Hornberger delivers "Derelict World", his most massive and epic undertaking so far. Dark drones, frostbitten soundscapes and warm vibrating tones from the deep bowels of the earth. From the sheer force of a tornado set loose to the beguiling calm within the eye of the storm, "Derelict World" is a 74 minute long sonic journey into a desolated, depopulated world.

It is in this hidden place where muses are born, the ones that inspire the soul of the world".

FIRE IN THE HEAD - 'As The Nest Burns' CD (Autarkeia)
"As The Nest Burns” is an album about the darkest depths of psychosis, about the delusions and actions over which one has no control when entrenched in a manic state and the nightmares from which some never awaken. It is an album born in the blackest of times, to be listened to in the blackest of times. With this recording F/I/T/H experiments with new arsenal of sounds and techniques adding a heavily psychedelic edge to his mix of noise / power electronics / drone. These are the straight-jacketed screams from the bowels of a mental institution. Ltd x 400 copies.
Amazing and unique debut CD of the Swiss Ur-Folk project Fräkmündt, born out of the idea to revive old sagas and nearly forgotten songs and atmospheres of the alpine regions of Switzerland. Performed in alemannic central-Swiss dialect, the songs on "Urbärglieder" simulate a journey through landscapes of the quaint regions of Switzerland. They let you chase through stormwinds with the wild hunt at mount Pilatus or stroll under the paintings of the danse macabre over the Spreuerbridge in Lucerne. One can meet the devil in the Schöllenen gorge and follow the alpine herdsmen during their sad walk down to the valleys in autumn. The album is alternated by two sound-accentuated sagas and two atmospheric pieces, letting one share the horrors of the ghost-house in Stans and the mythical ambiance inside the Mondmilchloch cave. On "Urbärglieder" acoustic guitars, accordion, violin, flutes and various percussion instruments generate melancholic melodies full of nostalgia, but also rousing hymns which invite to dance. With "Urbärglieder" a piece of extraordinary Ur-Folk music was born, telling in its very own way the stories that are almost forgotten. Features cz (Vinterriket, Atomtrakt, Nebelkorona etc). Deluxe digipak with 16 page booklet.
FRANCISCO LOPEZ & RICHARD FRANCIS - 'BromBron 14: In De Blaauwe Hand' CD (Korm Plastics)
Francisco López (Spain) and Richard Francis (New Zealand) have created "in de blaauwe hand" upon invitation from Extrapool for a brief working residency in Nijmegen, to develop a collaboration piece for the Brombron CD series. Working with very small seed source sound samples that were exchanged between them, two intermingling compositional paths unfolded in two parallel small studios. In a short (but very intense) period of time a whole world of very delicate and subtle materials arose. The hour-long track merges without mix a dreamy geography of subtleties and complex organicities that is more the result of aesthetic affinities than pre-structured plan. In that sense, this is a composition born from the sound themselves, following the paths indicated by them. Presented in a card-slip-sleeve.
Frederic Nogray diverts his rock crystal crucibles from their usual function in the silicon industry to generate tactile music, a music that succeeds as much in making the listener's intellect wander as it does in moving the material itself. Although entirely acoustic, this music is powerful, the different-sized bowls being generators of distinct waves operating in the range of frequencies from infra- to ultrasonic. Because of their superimposition and the acoustics of the space they are in, chimeras or interferences are born. A musical event partaking simultaneously in the creation of perception and corporal experience. Digifile.

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'Per Flagellum Sanguemque, Tenebras Veneramus' CD (Crucial Blast)
Roughly translated as "with blood and whip, we worship the dark", this is the latest collection of atrocities from Gnaw Their Tongues. An eight song investigation into the rites and rituals that emerge from the copper-scented frenzy of the serial killer, the obsessive acts of death worship enacted by those that live on the edge of abyss, the limits of experience sought by black cults. The sound is, as always, immensely heavy, with fractured drums and thunderous tympani skins reverberating within a maelstrom of seething black doom, screeching classical strings, horns, piano, and some of the most vomitous vocals imaginable. However, "Per Flagellum Sanguemque..." is marked by the most frenetic percussive attack that we have heard from Gnaw Their Tongues, with volleys of chaotic drumming, fractured blasts, and maniacally complex patterns.

Halo Manash rises radiant into luminosity, with wings spread into all worlds, and brings forth "Taiwaskivi", an opulent work of solar ambience and primordial Ur-music... a work of sonic flame and aural ash. Seven interrelated tracks, utilising such diverse instrumentation as organ, horns, vocals, drums, gongs, percussion and string instruments as well as field-recordings captured during the pilgrimage that the creation of the work embodies. "Taiwaskivi", although a complete work in itself, can also be viewed as the third and final facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation - a treelogy, with seed, root, trunk and finally, branches. Being the culmination of an ascending journey through the aforementioned realms within and without, "Taiwaskivi" is the celestial crown at the peak, reaching toward Sol, source and beyond; it is the leaves and fruit of the branches and their skyward nectar ever-flowing - the sacred fire, the consummation and conjunction of All.

Their first release on vinyl presents two pieces of multi-layered gong drones, nicely processed for full trance effect and enriched with whistling and rattling sounds and delayed percussion.

The second side harbors 'Morning Flesh'; 18 minutes that veer towards the caveman Krautrock of the recent "Alive In My Mouth" LP, drums pounding, Neanderthal guitar chugging, though with a melodic haze drifting across the musical landscape like a lysergic mistral, leading the listener ever further into the shifting sands of the forbidden zone..

Heldentod began in 2005 as an outlet for research into the little-known corners of 20th-Century history. While previous recordings whiplashed between the traditional and the experimental, Heldentod's latest album leaves behind its neofolk and martial-industrial roots to focus solely on electronics, but maintains the fundamental sense of composition found in earlier incarnations. Although now primarily influenced by death industrial and power electronics, Heldentod looks to create the most suitable expression of its key themes, including ghosts, ancestor worship, human sacrifice, neolithic fertility rites, Iron Age religion, mediaeval literature, unseen dimensions, inhuman intelligences, and all manner of Forteana.

HOOR-PAAR-KRAAT - 'The Eureka Tapes: The Complete Recordings' 2 x CD (Small Doses / Basses Frequences)
The pieces that make up "The Eureka Tapes" were all created while Hoor-paar-Kraat’s Anthony Mangicapra was living in the town of Eureka, California. Indeed, the town’s name is apt as they represent a “Eurekamoment” for Hoor-paar-Kraat as a musical entity; a figurative spilling of the bath waters as Hoor-paar-Kraat found their sound. The hints of alchemical transcendence that peeped through the cracks of previous releases come brazenly into view throughout. Music dissolves into explorations of texture, acoustic phenomena and the psyche. Originally issued as three separate volumes in a variety of hard to find formats, "The Eureka Tapes" collects the three original volumes, plus Hoor-paar-Kraat’s side of their split cassette with Last and a previously unreleased recording from the same sessions. Hoor-paar-Kraat’s music finds itself travelling the same surreal by-ways as Nurse With Wound, irr. app. (ext.), The Hafler Trio and Coil’s more ritualistic output.
"Fjær Og Jern" is a collection of some of Hornorkesteret's best tracks and a great introduction to the band.

Epic music touching on subjects like polar exploration, ecology, the cyclic forces in nature, animal urges, and the Norwegian mental and physical climate.

Stone Tape Shuffle, which also includes material from Sinclair's vast archive (including a 'lost' tape), as well as numerous field recordings, takes its inspiration from Giorno Poetry Systems, William S. Burroughs and French tradition. The readings mark a return to the 'punk-vorticism' of the mid-1970s and to the handwritten and self-published era. The sleeve is handsomely illustrated with a selection of new photos, taken on the day of recording across East London and the City, plus photos from Iain’s collection spanning his career.

ION - 'Madre, Protegenos' CD (Equilibrium Music)
Íon is the brainchild of Duncan Patterson (Antimatter, Anathema) and is named after the Gaelic word for 'pure'. Although primarily a solo project, a number of guest musicians are involved in this new venture by the Ireland-based musician, which hereby explores a more acoustic, dreamy and organic side to his composition. Having Irish mysticism and an exotic Mediterranean backdrop as its essential cornerstones, the project has slowly evolved into an international venture, stretching over continents and oceans. The music seems to elude strict categorisation, and even the apparently all-encompassing definition of World Music falls short in defining the ethereal moods that "Madre, Protégenos" comes to reveal. Presented in a sumptuous, black and gold foil-blocked, 6-panel digipak.
Second album by Iosophis, the Folk project born of the ashes of the Third Wave. Less minimal, more emotional and organic and all in all more undeniably “folk” than its predecessor "N", “M” was inspired and recorded live, three days after the Winter Solstice, in miscellaneous places such as small churches, ruins and forests near the centre of France. Sometimes reminiscent of 70s English Folk music, sometimes calling to mind the work of Scivias or Cascadian folk bands... Digipak.

The ultimate in drift and darkness! A collection of rare and unreleased compilation tracks formed within the deepest nightmares of Mick Harris (Scorn, ex-Napalm Death). Tracking the work from the very first track Lull created; 'Hung' to the haunting nineteen-minute 'Closed In', previously found only on vinyl. Seven works of sublime uneasiness that surround the listener, filling the room with a restful sort of darkness. Includes unreleased material.

LULL - 'Continue' CD (Release Entertainment)
A cavernous soundscape composed of spacious drifts and dense, rumbling drones. This is the fourth full-length from Mick Harris under the Lull moniker. "Consisting of a one-hour-long track that unfolds excruciatingly slowly, Continue could be the soundtrack for a '90s version of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was equally unnerving for its vast expanses of nothingness. Where Scorn can be the horrific equivalent of a musical Freddy Krueger - getting in your face to tell you how badly he's gonna mess you up - Lull's approach is more subtle and seductive, soothing your nerves before slitting your throat while you sleep" (All Music Guide). Hypnotic journeys into the abyss.

LULL - 'Like A Slow River' CD (Glacial Movements)
After a long period of silence, we welcome the return of one of the most important representatives of the ambient isolationist world: the wonderful UK artist Lull (aka Mick Harris of Scorn, Painkiller, Napalm Death). "Like a slow river" is a work characterised by sharp and minimal atmospheres but also dark, cold and huge such as large bodies of ice which slowly move, carried by an endless river. These five compositions reach the high expectations of Lull's previous works, such as "Cold Summer", "Continue" and the "Murder Ballads" trilogy with Martin Bates. With no doubt, this is the coldest and darkest work ever composed by this pioneer of industrial-ambient music. You will all be led to the oblivion of your existence....the freezing darkness of these glacial night is going to come down on your bodies and minds... you'll fall in your deepest sleep with the far echo of glacial runnings... the way to eternity is in front of you. Presented in a gorgeous 6-panel digipak. Highly recommended!!
LUNAR ABYSS DEUS ORGANUM - 'Tryakusta' CD (Vetvei)

Incredibly deep multi-layered Drone Ambient with plenty of colourful patterns. A dense self-observing stream. Ltd x 485 hand-numbered copies in a 6-panel outsize sleeve.
MACHINIST NOISE ASSAULT - 'Self Help' CD (Silken Tofu)
'Self Help' is the first official album by Machinist Noise Assault, culminating after years of dabbling with different styles of drone, noise, and industrial since its inception in 1998. Lyrically, 'Self Help' is a scornful examination of various forms of self abuse / neglect, and severe internal struggle based around the concept of one being one's own worst enemy. Sonically, expect to hear densely layered Power Electronics, standing out from the usual 'Set it and forget it'-style of its peers with less focus being applied to outright abrasiveness, and more being put on texture, development, and atmospheric elements. Mastered by Thomas Garrison (Control). Ltd x 300 copies in a 7" gatefold black card folder with silver print.

Molnija Aura's debut album is inspired by science-fiction themes and space-age relics. Consisting of six tracks created mostly with analogue and digital synthesizers, the album is a long and engaging journey through sidereal depths: shrouded in the darkness of immense and untouched vastness, beyond the great unknown, hovering in the void of zero gravity landscapes explored with slow and unreal movements. The uneasiness of silence and the absolute void of impenetrable gloom, the infinite and overwhelming distances, the fear of solitude and isolation, the anxiety of no return… And then the emotion of discovery: other worlds, unknown universes and impalpable beings, undefined and unidentifiable entities, close encounters, the unutterable and the unthinkable. Molnija Aura is Andrea Marutti (Amon, Never Known) and Davide Del Col (Echran, Ornament). Stunning Dark Ambient in the vein of Inade - recommended!

NICK CASTRO & THE POISON TREE - 'Further From Grace' CD (Strange Attractors Audio House)
"Further From Grace" bewitches with an intoxicating mood sustained throughout. The instrumentation is lush and exotic - flugelhorn, lap dulcimer and mijwiz are deftly melded into a pan-cultural elixir comprised of American and British folk traditions, classical balladry and Middle Eastern. Masterful songwriting, ornamented by Castro's ardent vocals and dreamlike lyrics, are relieved by hypnotic instrumental passages. Induced by flourishes of psychedelic 60's folk bards like Tom Rapp (Pearls Before Swine) and Bert Jansch, laced with flashes of Amon Düül-like acoustic communal atmosphere, "Further From Grace" is an acid-folk masterpiece advancing today's sound into sparkling new frontiers.

NIKO SKORPIO - 'Half Born In Half Light' CD (Some Place Else)
"Half Born in Half Light" is based on the foundations of psychedelic ambient soundscapes and darkly majestic bass drone, over which tribal rhythms and magickal vocal invocations build grotesque alien monoliths, whose angles mock the euclidean mathematics of conventional composition. Niko Skorpio is not restricted to one particular genre, but draws on many sources. This makes the music colourful and diverse, yet it remains coherent and has the artist�s unique fingerprints all over (this time literally in the cover as well). Standard PVC sleeve with 12-page booklet.
NIKO SKORPIO - 'Psilocybe Necrophila' CD (Some Place Else)
"Psilocybe Necrophila" refers to a psychoactive mushroom that grows on decomposing flesh. Although recorded mostly in 2007, parallel to last year's acclaimed "Half Born in Half Light", it is quite a different trip. The basis of this work was Niko Skorpio's old cassette tape collection from the 1980's. Containing mostly heavy metal demos and live bootlegs, the dozens of KMs of obsolete tape were sacrificed on the altar of creation. Tape was deconstructed, cut, mangled, eaten and torn apart by a number of malfunctioning cassette players. These emerging mutations were captured, processed and reconstructed, over and over until a new form began to take shape. Carefully chosen and prepared additional ingredients were then introduced to this primal tissue in order to impregnate it with a new kind of energy.

Peter Paelinck travelled for many years in the old lost valleys of the Himalayas and Tibet where he learned the secrets of the Bön. The dark side of the Igloo Recordings was inspired by these memories. In 2008 Peter made new recordings in Norway where snow and ice were the only material used to build instruments to create sound (iseridoo, isbone, isgong, isbell and istube). Eldbjorg Raknes joined him in making these recordings at the Geilo Ice Festival. In isolation on a mountain top in a specially built igloo, they created new ritual music, recorded by Tor Magne Hallibakken. The results were mastered in Iceland by Finnur Hakonarsson (Johan Johansson, Mùm etc), creating 9 primitive songs with a high listening quality. Peter Paelinck and his sister Niki Mono were 2 of the 5 Arian Aquarians on the cult record label LAYLAH and he has previously worked with Hilmar Orn Hilmarsson and David Tibet.

Many of the place names reflect the ancient cultural beliefs and superstitions - Black Fell, Black Beck, etc. Even today the place is wild and remote and old superstitions live on. The conflict of the ancient superstitions and the cold war paranoia is essentially what this is about. The older superstitions swallowing whole the newer age which came and went on the same dark, brooding hills.

S VREMENA NA VREME - 'S Vremena Na Vreme' LP (Atlantide)
A forgotten masterpiece of south-European Prog Folk-music! The members of S Vremena Na Vreme were the founders and leaders of the Belgrade acoustic scene. These talented guys were the cornerstone for other groups like Pop Masina, Dag, Porodicna Manufaktura Crnog Hleba and others in the early 70s. The quartet rose out of nowhere with this debut studio album (1975), full of beauty and originallity. They were not only talented players, but also fantastic composers. By using the prim and the sargija (small guitars from the Balkan area) they developed a very specificsound. S Vremena Na Vreme was not a just group whose musicians only knew how to show off on their instruments, but are also hugely accessible and appealing! If you like the Strawbs’ first album, this album will give you as much pleasure. Stunning gatefold LP, limited to just 333 copies.

SCOTT HULL - 'Audiofilm 1' 3" CD (Crucial Blast)
Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed) has been gradually revealing another side of his musical persona over the past few years; an obsession with cinematic soundscaping and dark evocative film scores, mutant electronic textures and pitch-black isolationism. This first part of the Audiofilm Series is a terrifying fug of demonic drone that utilises stereo panning and slabs of obsidian ambience, slowly unfolding over the length of the piece to reveal layers of malevolent black drone and unsettling voices, seemingly lost between planes of shadow. Recommended for fans of Lustmord and Scorn. Ltd x 1000 copies in a mini gatefold sleeve with artwork from Seldon Hunt.
The bodies of two teenage girls were discovered on Sunday, July 29, 1973 on a dirt road near Coquille, OR. Both were nude and each girl shot once in the chest. The weapon used in the killings was a .22 cal rifle. The teenagers had been on a hiking and camping trip in LaVerne Park when the two met Roger Lynn Green who would later kill the two girls without provocation in a sudden and spontaneous act of violence. "Verdigris" was released on the 37th anniversary of the murders as a commemoration of sorts. The focus of this record is on the two victims Kathleen Marie Bechtel & Vicki Louise Fawcett. Fetid Death industrial. 2nd edition in a black print on grey sleeve with insert.

SEWER GODDESS / MOURNER - 'In The Cold Of Stabbing Doldrums' 10" (Apop Records)
Split 10” from Boston’s Sewer Goddess and Nashville’s Mourner. Combining raw, beat-driven power electronics and oppressive, ornamental doom, this slab of vinyl contains three tracks to carry you down the dark, looming path of isolation. Sewer Goddess’ enigmatic approach to both noise & power electronics weaves undulating rhythm, echoing vocal wretch, and vile guitar riffery into a caustic cauldron of depravity. Akin to the likes of Steel Hook Prostheses, Sewer Goddess has risen to the top of contemporary heavy electronics. With crushing power, Mourner’s dynamic volley of squelching feedback, death march percussion, and cavernous wraith vocal attack lends itself to the school of doom forebearers, Burning Witch and Khanate. With atmospheric tension at a snail’s pace, Mourner is able to harness the haunting cacophony of Hell with blackened romanticism. Hopeless, putrid – this is organic depression in its purest form.

From menacing near-ambience and the massive, punk 'n' Prog-bloated 'I'm in Blackout' to vocoded passages over the very same electronic insanity that's spewed out Stockhausen and Xenakis, there's much to wrestle with your mind's deepest and darkest corners here.

Hidden in the world of solitude and darkness, living among the old superstitions Lady Lugalla describes a world in which the unreal coexists with the real.

STALNOY PAKT / ANTHESTERIA / MIKHAIL VAVICH - 'Dedicated To The Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905' CD (Der Angriff)
A commemoration of one of the most tragic pages of Russian history in the 20th century - the Russo-Japanese War. This lost war became a deep scar in the national consciousness of that period and turned out to be among the most painful and powerful incentives for the following first Russian revolution (1905) and the further eventual decline of the Russian monarchy. This CD is an attempt to revive the deep anxiety and the premonition of the upcoming relentless social shock which had overwhelmed the Russian nation in those times. Stalnoy Pakt presents maybe its most melodic tracks to date here, the distinctive band's multi-layered dark ambient fused with old military Japanese song samples and old Russian lyrical narrations, sometimes adorned with piano chords or martial drums. Anthesteria's cold gloomy tunes are combined with choir chants and gramophone record samples that aggravate the atmosphere of the dull waiting for the imminent disaster. The album is concluded with an authentic historical recording of the classic track of the period called "Na Sopkakh Manchzhurii" performed by a very famous singer of that time, Mikhail Vavich. This funeral waltz dedicated to the victims of this war drives the overall feel of despair and grief up to the highest limit. The album could be compared to the best examples of historically inspired works but with its own very special and purely Russian depressive mood. An absolute must! A5 sleeve with inserts.

TENHORNEDBEAST - 'Hunts & Wars' CD (CSR130CD)
TenHornedBeast's third album for Cold Spring was recorded from 2006-2009. This album introduces subtle changes to the established THB sound with delicate interludes separating longer tracks that rage with heavy distortion and doom-drone barbarism. "Hunts & Wars" progresses the established THB sound using leaden, sub-tuned bass guitar to create rhythms and riffs that dominate a battlefield of vast ritual percussion and droning walls of electric dissonance, creating epic and expansive textures that by turns burn with frost and freeze with fire. Influenced by the oneiric visions of Robert E Howard and Lord Dunsany. "Hunts & Wars" seeks to evoke the elemental, anti-modern fantasias of these writers and is presented in a 6-panel digipak (with spot-metallic finish) designed by graphic designer Kevin Yuen (Sunn O))), Wolves In The Throne Room) to its full grotesque glory. The days have come when the steel will rule. Titans arise, monuments fall. Ballads of victory and defeat are sung aloud as from the highest steps we are swept on to the eternal Hunts and Wars.

Walton has stripped some of the songs to their bare bones and allowed them space to breathe again. This album is all-new but continues the atmosphere of the debut and can be considered a companion piece. Presented in a matt-laminate, spot-varnished digipak.

VA - 'The Ballad Of Genesis And Lady Jaye: Music From The Motion Picture' CD (Sweet Nothing)
The soundtrack to the intimate, affecting portrait of the life and work of ground-breaking performance artist and music pioneer Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV) and his other half and collaborator, Lady Jaye, centered around the daring sexual transformations the pair underwent for their “Pandrogyne” project. Featuring music by Psychic TV, Thee Majesty and various collaborators (Bryin Dall, Derek Rush, Tony Conrad). This is a love story, and a portrait of two lives that illustrate the transformative powers of both love and art. In warm and intimate images captured handheld, Marie Losier crafts a labyrinthine mise-en-scene of interviews, home movies, and performance footage. The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye documents a truly new brand of Romantic consciousness, one in defiance of the daily dehumanization of the body by the pervasive presence of advertising and pornography, conveying beauty, dignity and devotion from a perspective never before seen on film.

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.

WELTER IN THY BLOOD - 'Through The Fields Of Mourning' CD (Shadowgraph Records)
Welter In Thy Blood is a three piece Black Funeral Doom band emerging from Los Angeles in 2007 with the intent of giving a soundtrack to human extinction. The elegies of Welter In Thy Blood speak of their virulent hate of human existence and the lauding of death and solitude. Revealed through a staggering funeral cadence and guttural ululations is a feeling of absolute torment and despondency. Like a putrid mass for an unholy God. Welter In Thy Blood musically coalesced self mutilation and misanthropy with the urge for voluntary human extinction, coining the term "Suicide is a Virtue". Not for the weak or feeble, this is music for the slightly deranged and the disturbed. Ltd x 1000 copies in a 6-panel digipak with artwork by Kevin Yuen (TenHornedBeast, Sunn O))) etc).

WHITE HETEROSEXUALS - 'Modern Heterosexuality' SINGLE SIDED 12" (At War With False Noise)
What we have here are three tracks of old-style power electronics, reminds me particularly of Sutcliffe Jugend's "When Pornography Is No Longer Enough" album. Very minimal in places, with periods of lull interspersed with piercing explosions, static bursts, and constant weird, heavily processed vocals. Lyrics are very stream-of-consciousness stuff, and the delivery is bang-on, incredibly jarring stuff. Completely at odds with a lot of PE acts around today who tend to go for the muscular beefed-up US-style approach, this is very much more in the old Come Org vein, aesthetically in the musical delivery.

WHOURKR - 'Concrete' CD (Crucial Blast)
The 2nd album from French deathtronix duo Whourkr is a whirlwind of electronically processed and treated avant-death/grind that is as violent and brutal as it is complex and obsessively constructed, relying as much on samplers and software as it does on bonecrushing riffs, screaming and hyperspeed blastbeats. Following a similar strategy as James Plotkin's post-production grind experiments on the first Phantomsmasher album, all of the guitars, drums, and vocals are arranged and recorded by Whourkr and then run through a gauntlet of hardcore editing and remixing. Total chaos deathgrind filtered through a futuristic cuisinart of ultra-aggressive electronica, like a freaked-out epileptic mashup of Atari Teenage Riot, Dying Fetus, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Venetian Snares, Blut Aus Nord, and John Zorn.

WOLD - 'Badb' CD (Crucial Blast)
Originally released on cassette in 2004 in a limited edition of 100 copies, "Badb" is one of the earliest releases from the Saskatchewan-based black metal / noise duo Wold. The nine tracks featured here revolve around the mythology of the war goddess, the spectre of doom that lurks at the edge of the battlefield. It begins at the heart of a roiling black blizzard and proceeds through a charred nightmare soundscape of icy corroded black metal riffs, fractured blasting, melancholic melodies blurred and smeared into malevolent new shapes, and scathing distorted witch-screams ripping through the blackness, all doused and drowned in Merzbowian levels of feedback and distortion abuse. Now presented on CD for the first time, this early swarm of Wold's psychotropic black metal / noise terror comes with all-new artwork from Pippi Zornoza. A stunning blast of black noise metal, highly recommended to devotees of extreme distorted evil. Digipak.

YELLOW6 - 'When The Leaves Fall Like Snow' 2 x CD (Make Mine Music)
Yellow6 is the solo project of Jon Attwood, a guitarist based in Leicestershire, UK. Since 1995 he has been making home recordings, initially guitar drones, slowly evolving to more structured melodic music including samples, programmed beats, reverb and a large improvisational element. "When The Leaves Fall..." was recorded in Stockholm in 2007. Born out of the isolation of 6 weeks spent in a foreign city, this album is pretty minimal compared to previous releases, but not minimalist. Digifile.

ZILVERHILL - 'Latent-Active-Descent' CD (Adeptsound / Blind Shouter)
These new Zilverhill recordings are informed by both the art of August Natterer (Specifically ‘Axle of the World, with Rabbit’ and the “uncertainty of good fortune” depicted therein) and Lewis Carroll’s ‘Looking Glass’ (Nobody/Somebody). Nixon’s portentous voice and actions are intuitively fractured, reappraised and manipulated to form the spine of the pieces; the desolation of drunkenness and schizophrenia, cold, sarcasm, and distant / past / fleeting recollections provide the flesh. Thus the next idiom in the Zilverhill discourse is borne. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak. The first 250 copies of which come with a hand-numbered postcard.
This is: "HELL FUCKIN METAL warriors know no mercy! The newest Hell-Born full-length album, "Legacy of the Nephilim", is ready to set the heavens on fire and claim the earthly thrones! Nine pieces of living infernal brimstone and ferocious energy, with playing time of over 40 minutes! A real must for every true Black / Death Metal maniac." Once again Hell-Born's work is full-filled with merciless, infernal fury, with a sound production much heavier, sharper and selective than ever before. Comes in a nice digipak.
