BOCKSHOLM - 'The Sound Of Black Cloggs' CD (Tesco USA)
(2003) Recorded at the God Blast America! festival in New York, September 2002, "The Sound of Black Cloggs" captures the first live performance of Bocksholm, the industrial collaboration between Peter Andersson (Raison D'etre) and Lina Baby Doll (Deutsch Nepal). In their 2nd full-length release, the Dionysian duo stamp out two new songs plus live versions of tracks from their debut CD "Excursions By The Bank Of The Black River". The result is over 46 minutes of angst-filled ambience, noises, vocals and rhythms wrought from the sounds and memories of growing up in the Swedish industrial town of Boxholm and its surrounding ironworks. Mastered by Peter Andersson and comes in a digipak.

CONTEMPLATRON - 'Delog' CD (Wrotycz)
(2008) Second release from this Polish dark ambient act. The DELOG experience is extraordinary, marvellous, even within the esoteric context of Tibetan Buddhism. The Tibetan word DELOG refers to one who has crossed the threshold of death and returned to tell about it. The person who is recognised as DELOG lays without any sign of breath, pulse or body warmth for many days. During that his or her mind journeys to other realms of experience: the pure display of enlightened mind as well as existence within samsaric delusion and ignorance. Mastered by Peter Andersson (Raison D'Etre). Digipak.

JANITOR - 'Qoumran 4-Ever' CD (Tesco Organisation)
(2005) This is Janitor's 3rd full-length release. The two masterminds Lina Baby Doll (aka Peter Andersson of Deutsch Nepal) and Benny Nilsen (Hazard) got together again to produce an outstanding mix of rhythms, industrial elektronic soundscapes and romantic tunes. With the distinct voice of Lina Baby Doll, this is a sentimental journey into their world of weirdness. After years of contemplation and research in the monastery caves of Qoumran, Nilsen and LBD found the hidden treasures they were looking for. The dry wind as a tapestry of sand in an elektronic desert, structures and ornaments hidden in the storm of Saudi. Another surprising release from the Swedish duo, presented in a digipak.
(2007) The ninth album of Swedish industrial artst Erik Jarl, also known as one half of IRM. Just like his previous albums, this one radiates the remarkably icy, mercilessly depressing and languorous, as well as claustrophobic mood. To reach the effect, Erik simply generates unique industrial sounds. Each accord smacks of unexplainable anxiety, the feeling of a degenerate future, drug-induced reality, poisoning and exceptionally technocratic character. Jarl music can be qualified as psychedelic industrial / drone, while the album is an excellent example of the Scandinavian mastership in creating a persuasive and visionary sonic landscape. Mastered by Peter Andersson (Raison D'Etre). Digipak.
A deathly mixture of the blackest of Ambient passages supplemented heavily by Classical refrains and post-industrial rhythmic structures. Add to this sound and vocal contributions by the controversial Industrial artist Brethren, crystal clear production values and a superb mastering job from the legendary hands of Peter Andersson (Raison d'être). Ltd x 1000 with artwork by visual Artist Rebecca Potter and multi media by Polish artist Kati Astraeir to perfectly match the dark vision of this album. A must own for all who live for Death Industrial/Ambient music!

NECROPHORUS - 'Drifting In Motion' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
Reissue of the 2000 release (Crowd Control Activities) from the project of Peter Andersson (Raison D'Etre). "Arctic ambience, melting with imagination, leads the listener to the frozen tundra at the top of the world. This rarely explored land, resonant with a shimmering radiance that is bleak, barren and mysterious, is distinguished by slivers of fantastical nuances that twinkle like crystals under the midnight sun.” The entire album has been carefully remixed and has been spiced with 3 more nuances. For this reissue, Maria Gullqvist and Eva Verholen were asked to contribute with their own impressions of experiencing ’Drifting in Motion’. Their amazing works are presented on the completely new designed CD artwork in a six-panel digipak.
With the sound of a bowl a journey begins through an aural landscape of imagination and mysticism. Imagine a spirit transformed into a single breath, woods that become alive through vibrations from the earth and water that electrifies nature and bends its laws. If the previous Necrophorus album Drifting in Motion was a bit icy and stiff, elínrós is a warm and animated being. Peter Andersson, a (Raison D'etre), has created four beautiful compositions that blend and evolve into eternal tranquillity. Included on the album is also a re-mix of "The Source of Underwater Bleakness" (originally released on the Last Bleak Days compilation in 2002). Experience Elínrós and life will simply not be the same anymore.

STRATVM TERROR - 'Fixation' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
After several years of silence finally a new full length album for this great Swedish power industrial duo & Peter Andersson (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 CD album "Genetic Implosion" but 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!
