AETHERE - 'In Coma' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
"In Coma" is the last work of Milan act Aethere, who in the last 4 years perfected their dark ambient / space music hybrid. Binding dilated atmospheres, typical of space music, with more compact and an oppressive style, characteristic of the Swedish masters. "In coma" is created on the feeble equilibrium between life and death: the EEG sound walks through the six tracks until the acme of the mass-sounds. When the EEG becomes a flat line, Aethere dies.

AUSWALHT - 'Paroxysm' CD (Rage In Eden)
France - this country has lately given us a lot of martial industrial music: March of Heroes, Liyr, and now Auswalht. Their debut, "History Of Suffering", was released by Collapse Of Utopia, China. This time Auswalht treats us to a great dose of military music. Auswalht indirectly seizes the roughness of March of Heroes and Liyr’s atmosphere, not surprising considering that the music of Auswalht and Liyr was composed by the same person, Sven Mann. Reminds of In Slaughter Natives in places. Digipak.

COLD FUSION - 'Simmetria' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Symmetry perceived as some kind of balance and harmony. Symmetry between surrounding world and its "mirror reflection", which sticks in our minds. Symmetry of left and right side, day and night, birth and death. Symmetry of buildings, objects, bodies. The fifth album from Cold Fusion reflects this theme with dynamic, marching atmospheres on one side, and melancholy and reverie on the other. A lack of symmetry or rather its confirmation? 11 tracks overall, presented in a nice digipak.

HAVEN - 'A2982' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
"Let us not be deluded by the spells of this sorcerer; because the first sounds overturn time's acknowledged and safe definition and begin constructions of different, weirder spaces. This is the last chance to resign and turn back. Otherwise, when you listen to the end of first track the only thing left to say is "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore". You begin your own, separate (and the longest?) journey. What do you see on your way? What unknown lands, traditions, incomprehensible rituals and dialects will you discover? I don't know. But I am sure that if David Lynch ever undertook the filming of "Alice in the Wonderland" the soundtrack of the movie will be filled with the music from A2982". Experimental / Electro. Digipak.
LIYR - 'Fragments Of Dust' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
LIYR is a French martial act born in 2008. Heavily inspired by neoclassical, bombastic percussion and industrial martial sounds Liyr creates his own characteristic atmosphere. Behind the harshness of the percussion, there is an esoteric thought about Celtic tradition and legends - LIYR is the God of Sea in Celtic myths. But the main idea is that we all live in a changing world dominated by sort of feelings like hate and love, fear and pleasure - in his music and lyrics LIYR talks about all these feelings. Digipak.

OUTOFSIGHT - 'Vodka Likes Smoke (The Damned Poets)' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Poor alcohol and the smoky interior of a pub. The common despair shouted out in rare moments of sobriety. The terrible, absurd atmosphere of Poland in 50s and 60s of last century.

“Suveräna's Vanguard is a project that refers to a Spanish tragedy, melancholy.” These words were written by Mario - the person responsible for Suveräna's music; you can agree with that statement, but each listener can interpret the music in their own way. Certainly the music does not lack melodies, military rhythms, and emotions. This is Suveräna's debut album "by active members of the Industrial and Neoclassical scene". Digipak.
THE JOY OF NATURE - 'The Empty Circle Part III: Anitya' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Anitya is that which has no existence in the beginning and no existence in the end. Its nature is impermanence. The record was created in two different and very special periods of time and it musically unites both western and eastern sounds. The tracks contained are the musical expression of different kinds of dreams. It consists of folk, experimental, psychedelic and industrial elements and even classical music but sounding, in various places, like ritual music. The structures of the tracks owe as much to classical as to psychedelic music. Digipak.
THE TRUE WILL - 'Triumph Of The Past' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Debut album from this Dark Ambient / Ritual / Martial entity. The True Will is a music project from Hellevoetsluis formed by Jim Breedveld in spring 2010.

VOIDWORK - 'Basement' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
A dark wave / ambient release revolving around variations of a central musical theme. As the album progresses, the melodies become less apparent and the tone of the songs becomes darker and more abstract. Varied yet coherent, a part of the story is told by each individual track, culminating in the auditive equivalent of a short horror story. "Basement" tells the fictional story of a small New England town, a sinister man named Horace Pinkerton and the unnatural abominations hidden by him for years. Features guest vocals by Ann-Mari Thim (Arcana). Digipak.
