GUSTAF HILDEBRAND - 'Starscape' CD (Cyclic Law)
(2004) Known from his project Lithivm (CMI) and his collaboration with Karjalan Sissit and Peter Bjärgö (Arcana, Sophia), Gustaf Hildebrand, on his first release under his own name, explores the sonic confines of space with his own vision of how a space journey might aurally be experienced. This 2nd pressing of 500 copies comes in a textured tri-fold sleeve. An essential release!
MARCH OF HEROES - 'March For Glory' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Debut album of French martial industrial act March of Heroes. Atmospheric, Neoclassical music inspired by events from World War II, especially the war between Russia and Germany. The concept is to show everything that describes this terrible conflict - heroism, brutality, desolation, propaganda, sadness - something very pronounced in a such conflict. Musically MOH is in the vein of Sophia or Karjalan Sissit (with a huge nod to Laibach circa 'Macbeth') and is a must have for fans of military tunes. CD in digipak.
MOST OF THE TACITURN - 'History Of Iron And Blood' CD (Dying Art Productions)
Just six short months after their debut 'Silent Accuser', Chinese act Most Of The Taciturn has evolved into a huge war machine. The latest album "History Of Iron And Blood" is an Asian perspective of the "Second World War European history of the rise and fall of three empires". Excellent centralized Industrial revelations! Influences cited are Puissance and Sophia, but we are sure this will appeal to all fans of the Martial symphonic / bombastic genre (A Challenge Of Honour, Cold Fusion etc). Strong political artwork. Comes in nice digipak with insert. Recommended!
