PYHA - 'Play Backfires' CD (Misanthropic Art Productions)
Atmospheric black metal / dark ambient from South Korean Pyha (Ruins). Consisting of more mature and clean sounds than his previous, critically acclaimed album "The Haunted House" (which he wrote when he was just 14!). Burzum meets Abruptum meets Xasthur but even more harsh and atmospheric. Anti war, anti military outsider individualistic blackness that destroys any other BM you've heard. Unbelievably grim and melancholic. Ltd x 500 copies.

PYHÄ KUOLEMA - 'Saavun Vaikken Kulkisi' CD (Anima Arctica)
Pyhä Kuolema is a solo project of Mikko Pöyhönen after the Neofolk duo Tuhat Kuolemaa Sekunnissa disbanded. Out of the ruins grew something new, beautiful and fresh - the birth of an extremely intimate, emotional, personal, and spiritual solo-project. Traditional to the bone, ”Saavun Vaikken Kulkisi” brings forth a dozen of atmospheric, national romantic, extremely emotional and personal songs sung in Finnish. The style of playing and singing varies from solemn ritualistic Neofolk songs to troubadour-like playful approach to traditional folk. Ltd x 300 copies.
