DEUTERROR - 'Le Gueule De Guerre' Enhanced CD (Steelwork Maschine)
(2007) Deuterror is Belgian artist Nicolas Crombez. After the two amazing self-released titles, Crombez now offers his first CD release. "Le Gueule De Guerre" is a fable on the faith that animates man and keeps him standing, getting beyond the limits of a minimalist dark ambient or the violence of an extravagant noise. Deuterror develops his theme with drones in turn overwhelming and disturbing, vindictive frequencies, making of "Le Gueule De Guerre" a severe statement embittered with disillusion. Enhanced CD in a matt digipak. Limited to 1000 copies.

I BURN - 'Infraharmonies, Scald Activities' CD (Fuoco)
(1998) Originally self-released in an edition of 100 copies on I Burn's own label, 'Infraharmonies' is now re-issued with 5 extra tracks by Italian label Fuoco (an imprint of Eibon & Amplexus). Very disquieting and foreboding Dark Ambient passages mixed with tonal and atonal frequencies, drones and vibrating harmonies. Sometimes it calls like an emptiness before death, sometimes like an implosive cry. Think along the lines of Voice Of Eye meets Lull. I Burn is a project of Ordeal.
JENNIFER GENTLE & KAWABATA MAKOTO - 'The Wrong Cage' CD (A Silent Place)
(2008) Re-release of "The Wrong Cage", the superfreaky, acid rock album that introduced Italian psych-pop mavericks Jennifer Gentle to the rest of the world, leading to their subsequent Sub Pop signing. Originally self-released in 2002, "The Wrong Cage" saw the young Italian quartet join forces with Kawabata Makoto (Acid Mothers Temple) for a live album that captured the band at it's most ferocious. Over 30 minutes of wonderful sonic carnage: two long, ultra-heavy guitar freakouts plus a eerily beautiful solo sarongi track played by Kawabata. All in all, a must for all fans of heavy, guitar-driven psychedelic avant-rock. Inlcudes a bonus track - an 18-minute long version of "Bring Them" from another night of that tour. Digipak.

LETHAL DOSE 50 - '21st Century Awakening' CD (Nuit Et Brouillard)
Lethal Dose 50 is the poison dose injection, used to carry out the death penalty in some US states… but LD50 is also a Belgian trio which has been around for years now in the fields of electronic music.

Housed in an original A5 size silk-screened fold-out cover.
Reissue version of this superb release (originally self-released in an edition of 48 copies). Dark Folk with a touch of Martial Industrial, but its roots go deeply into Russian classical music traditions of 20th century. Gloomy with a portion of romanticism and with a strong reflection of traditional Russian folklore in the lyrics.

NEKRASOV - 'Into The No-Mans-Sphere Of The Ancient Days' CD (None)
Self-released debut album from this Australian atmospheric Black Metal / Noise / Dark Ambient act. "From the surreal, nightmare-evoking textures that speak to the most ancient and basic part of our beings - that which understands without attaching judgment - to the unabashedly raw renditions of suffering brought on by the purposefully unintelligible, wretched vocals and the seething guitar-work, the listener may draw parallels but will surely find no equal to what is found here. All assumptions you might make as to the musical influences that may or may not have imprinted themselves upon this record may just as well be wrong. So simply listen and let the music wash over you". Ltd x 500 copies in a pretty digifile.

NEKRASOV - 'The Form Of Thought From Beast' CD (None)
Second self-released opus from this Australian act. Raw, creepy, enigmatic black metal-meets-noise-meets-dark ambient. "Nekrosov is most definitely a master of both the noise and the riff, and manages to fuse the two into something blackly transcendent... blown out soundscapes of samples and percussion, blurred into a windswept buzz, what sounds like ghostlike vocals underneath processed sounds of whipping winds and the click clack of a railroad, to noise drenched old school raw black metal crush, to slow burning deep ambience... Absolutely essential" (Aquarius). PVC sleeve.

SAILOR WINTERS - 'Red At Morn' CD (Stickfigure / Black Noise Recordings)
Sailor Winters is Ryan Cox who previously served time as one of the vocalists for Georgia power-violence powerhouse Divorce. After numerous self-releases and compilation appearances as Sailor Winters, “Red At Morn” finds Cox utilising power electronics and drone to create a very thick and heavy, but tranquil sound. Sailor Winters will appeal to fans of John Wiese, Daniel Menche and others.
Coming from the master of Lithuanian post-industrial, Laurynas Jukonis (Oro!Oro!, Girnu Giesmes), this project reveals his sincere interest in the roots of the civilisation, the beginning of the archaic, multi-meaningful, solid and conflictless reality. Svaixt's music consists of deep, pulsating and very transparent ambient building up a mystic, arcane atmosphere. The value of the album lies in the absence of digital sounds, recorded only by playing single brass percussion, inducing meditation and providing the sound with a strong oriental zest. Originally self-released in an edition of 50 copies, the album is now complemented by new artwork and presented in a limited edition digipak of 500 copies.
