Divided into chapters, but works best as one long song, 'II:Ruined' is a massive plunge through crawling and pounding vibes of distorted madness, bass-heavy frequencies, methodically played drums, and utterly painful virulent vocals, all filtered through pure unbridled atmosphere and ambience. A sonic scenario where every negative emotion conceived manifests into beyond epic proportions. Featuring guest appearances from Crippled Black Phoenix founder Justin Greaves (ex-Electric Wizard / Iron Monkey), and UK songstress Rose Kemp, 'II:Ruined' will appeal to those who worship at the altar of such bands like Khanate, Sunn O))) and Corrupted respectively. This North American edition comes in a gorgeously designed 8-panel digipak and contains an exclusive bonus track. Also, if you look very closely within the layout, you will find Morse Code which leads to exclusive audio online!
New Zealand's Black Boned Angel return with their fourth full length release. Sharing a similarly bleak ground to Corrupted, Sunn 0))) and Earth, this is perhaps their most sombre and fully-realised work to date. The Battle of Verdun was fought between the German and French armies, and was one of the critical battles on the Western Front during World War I. It resulted in more than a quarter of a million battlefield deaths and at least half a million wounded. Verdun was the longest battle and one of the most devastating in World War I and indeed in history. Over the course of 50 minutes, BBA soundtrack that brutal conflict with their trademark dark ambient drones and doom-laden riffs. Ltd x 500 copies on black vinyl.

BLACK SUN - 'Paralyser' LP (At War With False Noise)
First ever vinyl release from the UK's most pummeling and heavy doom metal band. Black Sun come out of left-field with their most fully-formed body of work thus far: a raging statement of intent that doesn't let up or fail to engage from the opening guttural screams to the final thunderous crash. Swans-esque lessons in harsh rhythmical battery... drone wizardry... post-Neurosis chorus... mid-90s metalcore sound... sub-industrial and pounding, rhythmic monotony. File next to Swans, Godflesh, Sunn O))) etc. Ltd x 500 copies with A3 insert and old-school black & white block artwork.

CORRUPTED - 'Paso Inferior' CD (Nostalgia Blackrain)
"Japanese underground icons Corrupted create droning, sludgy, painfully slow death / doom metal and ambient music along the same lines as bands like Earth, Boris, and Sunn O))). Formed in Osaka, Japan, circa 1994, the reclusive group has issued an inordinate number of singles, EPs, split discs, and full-length albums over the years, but always under their own idiosyncratic terms. These include holding anything remotely resembling rock stardom in utter contempt, mysteriously writing all of their lyrics in Spanish, and refusing to even take promo shots, so that the only known images of the group are those snapped by fans at their concerts" (All Music Guide). Originally released in 1997 on CD by Frigidity Discos, this 1-track, 40 minute CD has now been remastered. Ultra heavy, ultra recommended!

DER BLUTHARSCH - 'Flying High!' 2 x LP (WKN)
On their ninth studio album Der Blutharsch continues travelling in the direction they took back in 2005, when the former gurus of martial industrial / military pop rocketed towards the deep space of psychedelia. If you think of Sunn O))), Guru Guru, Amon Dül, Tangerine Dream or Godspeed You! Black Emperor you aren't too far away... but still inherent is that familiar apocalyptic feeling. Highly influenced by the American West Coast Sound of the late sixties with a small dose of Krautrock. Here's the line-up: Bain Wolfkind, Albin Julius, Gianni Serusi and Patrick Leagas. Der Blutharsch have mutated into a psychedelic rock monster; their motto, "into new territories!", symbolic for this mutation, a battle fought not by marching but by flying, 'Flying high!'.

GERRITT & JOHN WIESE - 'The Disappearing Act EP' MCD (Misanthropic Agenda)
It's Wiese - brace yourself. This 20 minute EP sees the noise maverick working with Misanthropic Agenda label boss Gerritt, hardly a shrinking violet himself, having gone head to head with Merzbow, D Yellow Swans and Sunn O))) in the past. 'The Disappearing Act EP' starts out with two short, sharp shocks of mashed-up sound, sudden jolts of electricity and the worrying rush of what sounds like toxic gas escaping from a canister. The final track is one 15 minute fade up of unbearably caustic jet engine whine. It'll have you pinned back in your armchair while your face gets pummelled by its horribly intense power. Digipak.
GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'L'Arrivee De La Terne Mort Triomphante - Black' LP (Burning World Records)
Gnaw Their Tongues transcend genres, creating their own distinct sound. Descriptors include ambient black metal, funeral doom metal, industrial drone etc. Instrumentation relies heavily on keyboards and percussion, with the drumming looming in the distance like a hideous parade before a battle is set loose. Monk-like choirs, industrial emanations, bizarre samples, occasional shrieks and droning, abused guitars are all on display, brought together almost unwillingly to share the same stage. Lyrically, L’Arrivee de la Terne Mort Triomphante is a concept album about death (“morte”). Songs describe the white throne of death, address the song of death and praise death’s majesty and grandeur. For many listeners, "L’Arrivee de la Terne Mort Triomphante" will be little more than noise or frustratingly dull drone. However, fans of the outré of the genre, where bands such as Sunn O))) and Throbbing Gristle practice their art, will find much to uncover and savour.

KAULA - 'Avadhuta Gita Chapter I' CD (Doomentia)
Kaula's debut is the vision of one Pietro Riparbelli (K11), an Italian artist who not only composed and recorded the whole thing, but also designed its cryptic booklet and contributed with organs, medianic chants, field recordings and radio signals. Kaula is a whole different beast to K11. What could be seen at first glance at some kind of weird black-metal outburst - including rasping vocals courtesy of Rosy from old-school death-metal warriors Profanal and buzzsaw guitars - soon makes sure all rules go out the window by using various metal (doom, thrash) and non-metal (noise industrial) elements and create a sonic black hole. All lyrics are based here on ancient text called ‘Avadhuta Gita’, said to have been originally written in the IXth century. As a result, all seven tracks have been named after it and are basically about attaining a spiritual state “equivalent to the existence of god”. Mastered by Mell Dettmer (SunnO))), Earth).

Devastatingly beautiful four part follow up to the acclaimed debut CD recorded in a former abattoir in Angers, as well as a 16th Century manor in the west of France. Taking the blueprint that was laid out on the first record even further, with the ecstatic build up of ‘Theme’, the near psychedelic ‘Abattoir’, and closing with the twisted romanticism of the closing ‘Snow 2’. An upgrade both artistically and emotionally. As with the first CD elements appeared in the finished version of the theatre piece ‘Kindertotenlieder’ by Gisele Vienne and Dennis Cooper, which was premiered in Brest, France, March 2007.

Whereas the ‘Kindertotenlieder' trilogy of 1, 2 and 3 were blurred washes of fog and noise polished in by ambient shine, "IV" is a more direct and demanding beast, referencing such diverse projects as; volume era Swans, Mecca period Cabaret Voltaire, phase one Wire, Fushitsusha and This Heat... "IV" is a stunning new direction and great addition to both artists' already impressive canon, with blowtorch riffs... sub bass rumbles... driving bass pulse interwoven with razor sharp guitar... arhythmic and punishing drumming (courtesy of Atsuo, from Japanese top-rockers Boris)... black frozen resonant harmonics.

TENHORNEDBEAST - 'Hunts & Wars' CD (CSR130CD)
TenHornedBeast's third album for Cold Spring was recorded from 2006-2009. This album introduces subtle changes to the established THB sound with delicate interludes separating longer tracks that rage with heavy distortion and doom-drone barbarism. "Hunts & Wars" progresses the established THB sound using leaden, sub-tuned bass guitar to create rhythms and riffs that dominate a battlefield of vast ritual percussion and droning walls of electric dissonance, creating epic and expansive textures that by turns burn with frost and freeze with fire. Influenced by the oneiric visions of Robert E Howard and Lord Dunsany. "Hunts & Wars" seeks to evoke the elemental, anti-modern fantasias of these writers and is presented in a 6-panel digipak (with spot-metallic finish) designed by graphic designer Kevin Yuen (Sunn O))), Wolves In The Throne Room) to its full grotesque glory. The days have come when the steel will rule. Titans arise, monuments fall. Ballads of victory and defeat are sung aloud as from the highest steps we are swept on to the eternal Hunts and Wars.

Astonishment, meditation, psychotropic medias, cynism and human misery. Welcome to the Swedenborg Room. Outsized digisleeve with printed inner sleeve.
The second full-length album from this Russian act. "Horna" was inspired by the Finnish-Karelian folk-epos “The Kalevala”. Part dirge ambient-drone atmospherics, part noisy black-doom horror, the album's five epic compositions sucked inspiration from Lustmord, Skullflower, Earth, SunnO))), Khanate, Nadja, Jesu, and belched them out into breathtakingly emotional, bass generated audio nightmares, with signs of melodic and rhythmic organisation.

Welter In Thy Blood is a three piece Black Funeral Doom band emerging from Los Angeles in 2007 with the intent of giving a soundtrack to human extinction.

Revealed through a staggering funeral cadence and guttural ululations is a feeling of absolute torment and despondency. Like a putrid mass for an unholy God.
