FAHL - 'The Paths To Emptiness' CD (The Eastern Front)
Debut opus from Fahl, founded by Dimo Dimov, Marcel P. and Cornelius Waldner in 2008. All the musicians are active participants in numerous groups from the dark folk, neoclassical and black metal genres. They felt a growing urge to experiment with dark ambient soundscapes, resulting in this mutual collaboration. �The Paths To Emptiness� is a haunting journey to the subconscious, divided into ten audial gateways to the occult and hidden forces of the inner self. Lyrically based on the Mahabharata, as well as poems and texts by John Milton, Jack London, Stefan George, Christian Dietrich Grabbe and Cornelius Waldner, this release is strongly recommended for fans of Brighter Death Now and Lustmord. Featuring members of Svarrogh, Sagittarius, Miel Noir and Allerseelen. Ltd x 1000 copies.
GREGORIO BARDINI & THIERRY JOLIF - 'Kantalon' CD (The Eastern Front)
Compositions and popular song of Brittany. "Kantalon" is an ancient Gaelic word, referring to chanting but also to the lessons that druids were teaching to their pupils. Lessons about events of the past, mainly sad events, stories of crimes, of battles, of loss. Bardini and Jolif tried to express the spiritual reality and complexity of those lyrics and melodies into their own musical field, as if those songs had travelled through time and had to pass through the filters of modern music (experimental, concrete, classical, free-jazz, industrial ... and so on) to reach our brains and instruments.

NICK CASTRO & THE POISON TREE - 'Further From Grace' CD (Strange Attractors Audio House)
"Further From Grace" bewitches with an intoxicating mood sustained throughout. The instrumentation is lush and exotic - flugelhorn, lap dulcimer and mijwiz are deftly melded into a pan-cultural elixir comprised of American and British folk traditions, classical balladry and Middle Eastern. Masterful songwriting, ornamented by Castro's ardent vocals and dreamlike lyrics, are relieved by hypnotic instrumental passages. Induced by flourishes of psychedelic 60's folk bards like Tom Rapp (Pearls Before Swine) and Bert Jansch, laced with flashes of Amon Düül-like acoustic communal atmosphere, "Further From Grace" is an acid-folk masterpiece advancing today's sound into sparkling new frontiers.
PALE ROSES - 'Fear Of Dawn' CD (The Eastern Front)
Debut album from this French Neofolk act. Ten songs about war, melancholy and the pagan roots of Europe. Two reworked versions of traditional British ballads ('Lord Gregory' and 'Two Ravens') make the album complete. Pale Roses have done their best to keep the instrumentation minimal, stripped down to the core, free of all non-essential arrangements. However, slight variations between songs keep the album from being repetitive. Although Pale Roses are ready to pay their dues to the founders of the Neofolk genre (Sol Invictus, Death In June and Fire+Ice), it is not far off to also mention Nick Drake, Nico or Richard Thompson as influences. Ltd x 1000 copies.
PHRAGMENTS - 'The Burning World' CD (The Eastern Front)
Powerful and emotional second full-length album from Slovakian project Phragments. Seven orchestral industrial compositions, heavily accented by dark ambient, martial atmospheres, majestic orchestrations, industrial machinery and noisy outbursts. This album shows a dramatic vision of Phragments - a sombre view of a world that is burning. Ltd x 1000 copies in a luxurious A5 6-panel folder. Israeli import.

REFUSE TO DIE - 'Collection Of Agnostic Files' CD (The Eastern Front)
This album is a hidden treasure of the Israeli underground scene. A mix of neo-cabaret, Industrial Dada and Avant-garde music.

TONY WAKEFORD - 'Not All Of Me Will Die' CD (The Eastern Front)
Over 2000 years ago, the Roman poet Horace wrote the line "Non Omnis Moriar" ("Not All Of Me Will Die"). Its poignant defiance of human mortality and faith in the transcending power of art rings out down the ages, finding an echo in this new work from Tony Wakeford, founder of seminal English dark folk / Neofolk band Sol Invictus. Wakeford's 4th solo album commemorates the life and work of the Polish-Ukrainian Jewish poetess Zuzanna Ginczanka, executed by the Gestapo in Kraków in 1944. All of the album’s lyrics are based on Ginczanka’s verses. As with his 2007’s "Into The Woods", Wakeford is joined by a range of guest musicians and vocalists, including avantgarde composer Susan Matthews and members of Orchestra Noir, Zunroyz and Sol Invictus.
