A CHALLENGE OF HONOUR - 'No Way Out' CD (Vrihaspati)
The brand new album from A Challenge Of Honour! Since their last album "Seven Samurai" was released 4 years ago and in these past years many things changed in ACOH. With "No Way Out" you will hear a completely new side of ACOH. The album would be best described as a pure Neofolk 'n' Pop album with many Neoclassical and some Martial elements. Peter learned to play several acoustic instruments in the last years and some guest musicians also helped to create the band's new style. Most songs are with lyrics and have quite a dreamy and catchy atmosphere with monumental and heroic parts. Some songs even spread a feeling of early 80s independent music like Joy Division, the Fall, New Model Army. Digipak.

DIVISION S - 'Something To Drink To V' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
Division S' second CD and the fifth chapter in the “Something to Drink” saga. A new treasure of minimal Noir-Cabaret with Mediterranean sounds, with Rock’n’Western saloon melodies, with vintage style hits dealing with 60’s like sounds. Songs to be listened while drinking a good Italian red wine and smoking an unfiltered cigarette. Songs for nostalgic rainy days and for summer sunsets. Songs for lovers and those suffering broken hearts. Songs for drunken and dandy urban cow-boys and cow-girls. “Something to Drink V” continues where the last album ended, from the last drink, from the last glass of whine… “Alla Salute!” A5 sleeve.

For fans of Mayhem, DImmu Borgir, Gorgoroth, Marduk etc.
New work by the Italian Industrial legend. "A marginal division of the whole existence in four palpable seasons, marked by pestilential changes in emotional hemisphere. Seasonal differences in the reformistic exposure turn on the climatic sounds for a thermostatic solstice while modular equinoxes transit along the nodulous diagram of astronomical devices. Usually considered as ephemeral like consciousness neurectomy which includes a mixture of chronological elements. The principle of living originates from electric sources of materialistic disturbances for unequivocal substances. At the end, the hibernating organisms organise a reproducing molecule of environmental for a silent 'hybernum'. 3 lengthy, slowly shifting atmospheres for private meditation". Ltd x 300 copies in a silver print on black cardboard sleeve with insert.

SISTRENATUS - 'Division One' CD (Cold Spring CSR61CD)
Powerful debut of the Canadian noise project. 'Division One' is harsher and more bombastic than Harlow MacFarlane's now defunct project FUNERARY CALL. A true onslaught of Black Ambient, Power Noise and Death Industrial. This is the much anticipated album, after the well received track on our legendary SWARM sampler.
SISTRENATUS - 'Sensitive Disturbance' CD (Cold Spring CSR108CD)
Blurring the lines between Dark Ambient, Industrial and Noise, Sistrenatus storms forth, shifting between oppressive aggression and unsettling atmospheres. "Sensitive Disturbance" is the third offering from this now legendary Canadian act, whose debut "Division One" was issued on Cold Spring in 2007. An aural journey through the urban decay of abandoned factories, scorched landscapes and underground passageways. "Sensitive Disturbance" is an abrasive rendition of the industrial revolution in its darkest phases.
The Division is a reconstruction of ancient spells and rituals reinterpreted aurally by one of the leading dark ambient artists of our time, Matthew Schultz (Lap Report, ex-Pigface). Schultz has delved into the esoteric and ancient fraternal order of The Division. He has reinterpreted the traditional texts and scores of the order to create a beautifully dynamic and sometimes disturbing disc that synthesizes world music, dark ambient and magick. "Mantras" is the first in a trilogy of discs that express all the aspects of The Division. Digipak.
