ALTAR OF FLIES / SEWER ELECTION - 'Split' LP (Release The Bats)
Split slab of vinyl from two of the best acts currently dwelling in the depths of the Swedish underground scene. Altar Of Flies continues with his dark and eerie forest rumblings. Buried claustrophobic lo-fi insanity straight from hell with heavy outbursts of feedback, which could have been outtakes from an old Dario Argento soundtrack. Sewer Election fill the flipside with the nasty "Rotten Corpse" - a crude and disgusting piece full of monotonous, freezing coldness. Mean-spirited ugliness from both bands. Mastered by Patrik Jonsson (Dødsdømd). Limited to 325 copies.

SEWER ELECTION - 'Sex / Death' CD (Troniks / PACrec)
Raw, textured grit amid turbine electronics and harsh metalic hell, "Sex / Death" is devastating noise decadence from Sweden's Dan Johansson. Reissue of the speaker shredding two tape set originally released on his own Harsh Head Rituals label, the wreckage has now been remastered to appreciate every crunch and mangled detail but retain its gutter filth and power. Ltd x 1000 copies in a card sleeve.
Inspired by the legendary compilation LP 'Gothenburg 84' (Radium 226.05, 1984) - a document of that creative period in the musical history of Gothenburg, Sweden, featuring the upcoming talent of the time. Now, in 2008, Gothenburg's electronic and experimental scene is again soaring with talent. It's a scene of pioneers creating exploratory, unique music - completely new, but still connected to the spirit from almost 25 years ago. It is another unique era, and it is time to document it. 'Gothenburg 08' includes exclusive tracks by: The Skull Defekts, Porn Sword Tobacco, Anders Dahl, Jasper TX, Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words, Joel Brindefalk, Viktor Sjöberg & Jonas Lindgren, Tsukimono and Sewer Election. Digipak.
Full-packed (70mins) and well disposed comp filled with high quality noise / industrial / experimental mayhem, mostly from Sweden. Featuring: Barrikad, Blod, Government Alpha, Institut, IRM, Irgun Z'wai Leumi, Jarl, Koeff, Martin Bladh (IRM / Skin Area), MNEM, Moljebka Pvlse, Ochu, Sewer Election, Sharon's Last Party, Skin Area and Treriksroset.
