ANENZEPHALIA - 'Ephemeral Dawn' CD (Tesco Organisation)
(2007) Released 1996 in an edition of 750 copies, "Ephemeral Dawn" is finally available again - now presented in a digipak with booklet. Brilliant brain numbing Power Electronics from this infamous German act. 64 minutes of thick electronics, droning waves, distant echoing vocals, subtle rhythmic loops, rumbling basses and some higher piercing frequencies.
(2008) Arcana's approach to Neoclassical and symphonic ethno-ambient could well be defined in the meaning of the word "Arcana" itself: specialised knowledge of something generally considered a mystery or a secret. On their 6th album, "Raspail", the powerfully moving music of this Swedish quintet creates a magical atmosphere which weaves together lush elements familiar to Arcana fans old and new. Mystery, silence and revealed secrets are interconnected within the 10 new songs. Lush electronics mix with acoustic guitar, serene piano and intricate oriental percussions. Warm vocals return to the focus, with obvious comparisons to Dead Can Dance: a heavenly blend of baritone and soprano courtesy of Peter Bjärgö and Ann-Mari Thim. In fact, never before has an Arcana album contained so many vocals giving "Raspail" an emotional touch, a deeper thoughtfulness, a profound feeling of mysterious vision and a sense of secrets.
(2005) Second pressing of this must-have title! As member of the Cold Meat Industry family, Archon Satani is a familiar name to those following dark electronics. Five dark ambient structured tracks, with sometimes bleak and evil monotonous sounds. If you are fascinated by ritual sacrifice, ethereal atmospheres and excursions through darker ambience, this trip should be yours. IN SHELTER works through the power of hypnotism and this release is very minimalistic in function. Recommended!

BURMESE / CADAVER EYES - 'Splittt' CD (HCB Records / New Scream Industry)
(2008) Like demented twins in crime, Burmese and Cadaver Eyes rephrase Doom, Grindcore and Power Electronics by using an agonising mechanism of plain brutal aesthetics, ascending these genres to a higher level of cognitive surge. This split CD (40 minutes in length) is difficult and pungent, a warm spew in the face and an endless buzz in the eardrum that fiercely occupies the brain and treats the grey cells as if they were an ashtray. A crude awakening and a classic case of ponderous self indulgence. Israeli import.

CLOAMA & BLUTLEUCHTE - 'From Wasteland Mausoleums' CD (New Old Sentinel)
(2007) Cloama and Blutleuchte rise anew From Wasteland Mausoleums with desolate, cryptic and evocative soundscapes of the world beyond perception. Further removed from the noise and power electronics beginnings of both projects, here one finds experiments in candlelit rituals, analogisms inspired by early German electronic pioneers, voices and hauntings and crushing guitar. Melodies and raw noise inter-lap as the twin phases of existence or the primal creations of deities both wrathful and dreaming. Almost an hour of parapsychological exploits.
CLOAMA - 'In The State Of Unbelief' 7" (Cipher Productions)
(2007) Two new pieces from Cloama at its most vehement. A savage exposition of raw power electronics, which has never been quite so overt in Cloama’s sound until this project. Notwithstanding the clear ‘80s PE influences, the production and composition are distinct, discreet layers, with the usual attention to detail giving this work flair. Regular edition, limited to just 130 copies. Presented in a foldout, screen-printed sleeve with inner flap. Australian import. ACT FAST!
CLOAMA - 'Revisionist Knowledge' CD (Freak Animal)
(2005) Return of the more cruel and vicious side of Cloama! This CD goes two different of directions. 1st 4 tracks are live-without-audience recordings recorded with amplifiers and couple of good microphones. Painful and straight-forward power electronics with vocals. 2nd part of disc is studio recordings and this electronic-genius, known from Strom.ec, makes analogue synthesizers and other tools sound personal with his trademark style. Very stylish designed artwork in cardboard box cover with 4 insert cards.
(2008) "The Eighth Pillar" was the first full length release by UK Power Electronics outfit Con-Dom back in 1991 (SFCR). The CD is inspired by the life, writings and example of British author T.E. Lawrence - an enigmatic outsider who lived a tortured odyssey of physical and spiritual extremes in search of his own personal faith. The name of the CD derives from his book called "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom." The powerful sounds and strong vocals give a good impression on how torturing the life of Lawrence must have been. Con-Dom explores every kind of social tension with an acidic, violent and uncompromising attitude. Those who missed the LP version must see this record as a milestone or just a simple must! Contains the same booklet artwork from the original release. Digipak.

CONTROL - 'Misanthrope' CD (L-White Records)
(2003) 3rd Control CD, which continues to see a positive evolution in this American act's sound. "Strong, shuddering currents of thick electronics, with a crushing underbelly of boiling, frying, layered frequencies, the vocals streaming forth in a sickeningly wet fashion. Much more structure going on here than the past, but twice the unbridled power. Excellent..." [Malignant]. Limited to 500 copies in a nice digipak.
(2003) Legendary U.S. Power Electronics / Harsh Noise unit, headed by Thomas Garrison (Exsanguinate member and label boss of Misanthrope Studio). Concrete and abrasive songs, consuming and devastating sounds, evolving and mutating noise. ‘Natural Selection’ has a direct approach with ‘in-your-face’ PE cuts. CONTROL is here to crush you. Superb album presented in a digifile.
CONTROL - 'The Means To An End' CD (Eibon Records)
(2005) Redefining the concept of aural aggression. Structured, multi-layered, hyper-complex Power Noise. Sharp like a surgical scalpel and powerful like a demolition hammer, Control’s music adds a new meaning to the abused "Power Electronics" definition. The only good way to describe "The means to an end"? A fierce beast constrained (temporarily...) in a steel cage, far too small to contain its natural aggressiveness. The cage won't last forever...
(2005) Outstanding Power Electronics from Sweden. This is DEADWOOD's debut album and is a solid, pounding force of electronics, Death Ambient atmospheres and brutal vocals. Featuring a member of Satanic Black Metal act Blodulv. File alongside such luminaries as The Grey Wolves and Mz.412. DEADWOOD is a relentless assault on the senses! Approach with due caution!

(2004) Darrin Verhagen, in tugging on a thread of viciousness which has lain subdued and understated for most of Shinjuku Thief's back catalogue, pulls up a 42 minute slab of sonic violence which is as unmerciful as it is exquisitely crafted. Under his new power electronics pseudonym 'E.P.A.' we find a finely balanced tension between visceral chaos and deliberate nastiness. If all the Shinjuku Thief albums which preceded it suggest the ghostly existence of a dark world, "Black Ice" delivers the map, the accelerator and the searing pain upon arrival.

(2007) I/CON is an exploration of religion as both a catalyst for mental illness and as a disease itself as well as the various manifestations of the resulting psychoses. These are the incessant screams of the pious and the possessed, of hypocrisy and holocaust, of resurrection and insurrection, of suffocating paranoia and immaculate deception and of a deified ego putrefying in its own fallacies. Using processed voices as a key aspect of the source material, I/CON shunts a maelstrom of auditory hallucinations and recurring apocalyptic nightmares through densely layered power electronics/industrial keeping the assault at fever pitch throughout the eleven tracks.

GENOCIDE ORGAN - 'In-Konflikt' CD (Tesco Organisation)
(2004) First full-length studio album from G.O. since "The Truth Will Make You Free" was released in 1999. These 11 new tracks reflect the development of the band during the last five years - a mixture that ranges from industrial and power electronics to the dark, depressive, ambient-noise outbursts for which Genocide Organ is known. G.O. doesn't reflect concrete events of any particular nature - this is an abstract questioning of everything with anything - a call to action that ends in a waste of energy - a call for a movement that is a waste of time - a nihilistic, pessimistic worldview that leads somewhere. We all just fill space and are part of "In-Konflikt". Presented in a debossed digipak with booklet.
