15 DEGREES BELOW ZERO - 'Resting On A' CD (Edgetone Records)
With their third full length CD, 15 Degrees Below Zero re-introduce the listener to their signature blend of guitar, digital and analog atmospheres, and noise. The trio continue to explore a territory of noise-oriented soundscapes, rich drones, flowing ambient and compositional narratives that emerge between the planes of discord and melody, but with this release, a feeling of spaciousness underlies the existing tension.

AMBER ASYLUM - 'Bitter River' CD (Profound Lore Records)
Reflecting back towards the earlier era of the act in which mastermind Kris Force manifested, 'Bitter River' is an unearthing of the magic of such classic Amber Asylum observations as 'Natural Philosophy Of Love' and 'Songs Of Sex & Death', updating the immaculate vibe with Amber Asylum's current carnation. Now featuring co-writer Leila Abdul-Rauf (Saros), along with cello player Jackie Perez-Gratz (Giant Squid, Grayceon, Asunder), dominating low-end frequencies courtesy of bass player Eric Wood (Bastard Noise), flute player Sigrid Sheie (Hammers Of Misfortune), drummer Chiyo Nukaga (Graves At Sea, Noothgrush) and also featuring a guest narration by Jarboe (ex-Swans), it is through each member's respective lent talent that brings forth the illustrious presence emanating from 'Bitter River'.

ANDREA BORGHI - 'Moltiplicazioni' CD (Lisca Records)
"Andrea Borghi's solo album is ultimately more rewarding for its (relative) sparseness, with some unspectacular but extremely effective laptop treatments adding some fizz to his thrummed fuzz bass jams. It's still a case of listening to how the sound of the bass, rather than the sound of Borghi playing the bass, interfaces with the technology. 'Attrazione 2' comes closest to transcending these limitations, with Borghi scraping and rubbing the strings to give his Max/MSP patch something more colourful to sink its teeth into" (The Wire).

ARCHON ORCHESTRA - 'Pong' CD (Shadowplay Release / Muzyka Voln / Monopoly Records)
The CD cover of this band's debut album shows a collage with a fragment of a Renaissance painting on which biblical saints look at the "sky" above them and see the game "Pong" being played there (a cult arcade game from 1972, first game by Atari). What could this marvellous picture mean? Let the listener decide. The main instrument on this CD is the organ, in fast mechanical sequences, typical for the Berlin school of electronic music. Simple compositional structure meets vivid expression, liturgical atmosphere and a sublime metaphysical line running through the whole concept of the project. Archon Orchestra deal with clearly structured music lying in the intermediate plane between the so called 'holy minimalism' and 'repetitive music'. Recommended for lovers of Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley and Recoil ("Hydrology").

An inspiring and innovative melange of noir-cabaret, dark folk and classic industrial, catapulting the splendour of his poetry into realms unknown. "The world is my dream at daybreak.

The two pieces named "Rosa Alba" and "Rosa Rubea" (white & red rose) have a strong metaphorical alchemistic background, meaning the end point of all alchemistic transmutations.

AYTHIS - 'The New Earth' CD (Twilight Records)
Aythis was brought to life in France 2006 by Carline Van Roos (Remembrance, Lethian Dreams). Lyrically inspired by dreams, isolation and death, Aythis aims to be timeless and isolated from human nature. Aythis' harmonies are created by the alchemy of depressive keyboard atmospheres, haunting and hypnotic melodies, ethereal vocals and dark orchestral drums. Without losing the wintry atmospheres of previous releases 'Doppelgänger' (Paradigms Recordings) and 'Glacia' (Prikosnovenie), this third album melts together many influences and results in an unique blend of ethereal, neoclassical, neofolk, rhythmed by bombastic drums. Digipak.
"The doom sound is instantly recognisable, complete with rasping vocals - an ultra-heavy onslaught. That’s the known and well-explored ground. But from here, Batillus moves towards irresistible, heavy riffing psych, while Ryan Fairfield’s Hallowed Butchery project fires a pistol to transcend the mossy caves and to throw fits of shoegazing prog doom. This is a brilliant doom metal split—the Batillus side rules, because the American four-piece works so effectively and freshly within the known framework. The Hallowed Butchery side is even better because he does the same, and much more, transcending the confines of the genre" (Foxy Digitalis). Mastered by James Plotkin and beautifully packaged.

CONTROL - 'The Means To An End' CD (Eibon Records)
Redefining the concept of aural aggression. Structured, multi-layered, hyper-complex Power Noise. Sharp like a surgical scalpel and powerful like a demolition hammer, the music of Thomas Garrison's Control adds a new meaning to the abused "Power Electronics" definition. The only good way to describe "The means to an end"? A fierce beast constrained (temporarily...) in a steel cage, far too small to contain its natural aggressiveness. The cage won't last forever...
Legendary album from Industrial / Noise pioneers Controlled Bleeding (Joe Papa, Paul Lemos, Chris Moriarty). A retrospective of sorts, bringing together their original harshness and violence with their later rich melodic minimalism, coherently covering 5 years of the group's early history (1983-85), dating back to "Knees And Bones". All tracks are either previously unreleased or from out-of-print releases. Includes the harsh noise classic 'Swallowing Scrap Metal'.

Ctephin are a whole drone-family from the Great Plains creating bizarre and lovely ambient noise, atmospheric and noisy soundscapes with various friends and their 7 children. Calling themselves "Umbrella Noize Collective", they live to the: "Law of Liberty as laid out in Liber AL vel Legis". "Duad" is their first vinyl release and uses pumping drones, field recordings, guitars, metallic effects and a kind of very harmonic cembalo instrument. The two tracks develop in a lovely way; from pure ambience to noise and back. The same use of beautiful harmonics and noise-drones creates quite a special atmosphere. File under Thelemic Light Drones and Drone Lights. First edition of 300 copies on superb gold marbled vinyl in hand-made covers with insert.
"Styx" is the most mainstream work in the Cyclotimia discography. The music is free of their usual experimental and academic explorations; here the emphasis is made on the rhythms. Eleven compositions depict the sickly technogenic reality of the planet wrapped by networks of global capital, media glamour and ideological obsessions. In ancient Greek mythology the Styx was the embodiment of primeval dread and gloom, from which the first living creatures emerged. This was a personification of the underworld river whose pestilent currents seclude life from death. Similarly to this mythic river, currents of credits, percent, funds, financial quotations, capital issues, barrels of oil and advertising spaces flow on the Cyclotimia album to the accompaniment of hard, sterile and atmospheric electronic music.

GHAST / ABANDONER - 'Ghast / Abandoner' CD (At War With False Noise / Choking Hazard Records)
Two tracks each from bands coming at dark heaviness from different ends of the spectrum, but who compliment each other perfectly. The 2 Ghäst tracks are painfully slow, heavy and unrelentingly repetitive funeral dirges of ultradoom. There are some definite sludge overtones going on there but this is definitely for fans of bleak doom/sludge: think Moss / Burning Witch / Corrupted etc. Abandoner is Jay and Ryan from Unearthly Trance but this is a different proposition altogether: post-industrial soundscapes, this is almost like an alternative soundtrack to Eraserhead. Drenched in feedback, almost lost vocals, buzzing, processed guitar all come together in a massive dark, almost symphonic whole. Total void music. Ltd x 500 copies.

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood' CD (Crucial Blast)
Reissue of the extremely limited LP (Ltd x 250, Burning World Records) from this ultra heavy act. Harrowing, apocalyptic, bestial ritual music from the deepest, darkest cellars of the Netherlands. Avant black metal, agonising funeral doom and blackened experimental drone noise stab forth again and again until all the blood is spilt and total carnage is all that remains. Pure dread put to music. Recommended for disturbed folk into Abruptum, Khanate, Axis Of Perdition, Swans and Univers Zero. "The bleakness and sheer refusal to allow any light to permeate proceedings alongside the non-linear, sprawling nature of the tracks will alienate a lot of people, but for anyone looking for something truly extreme, you’ll have a hard time beating this" (Kerrang). Hardback digifile.
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. Under the anger and fear there is joy, sadness, selfishness, and self-discovery. All you have to do is let these find you. Ltd x 750 copies on black vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.
GYVATA / PRAGNAVIT - 'Broliai Karelin Jojo / Ad Gloriam' CD (Crivia Records)
From ambient-folk with a ritual touch, to bombastic-folk from Belarus and Lithuania. This album is dedicated to the 600th Anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald (Tannenberg), fought on 15 July 1410, during the Polish-Lithuanian-Teutonic War. The alliance of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania decisively defeated the Teutonic Knights, with most of their leadership killed or taken prisoner. This battle was one of the largest battles in Medieval Europe and is regarded as the most important victory in the history of Poland and Lithuania. It was surrounded by romantic legends and nationalistic propaganda, becoming a larger symbol of struggle against invaders and a source of national pride. Mastered by Axel Frank (Werkraum).

HALL OF MIRRORS - 'Altered Nights' 2 x CD (Malignant Records)
3rd CD from the acclaimed Dark Ambient duo of Andrea Marutti (Amon, Never Known) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh). Spread out over two CDs and totaling over 100 minutes, there’s a lot to absorb here; organic, textural ambience that’s murky and abstract, uncurling like tendrils of smoke before coalescing into a simulacrum of shadowy figures, to turbulent, more immersive post industrial sounds that prowl the depths of subterranean caverns and forgotten, still radioactive ruins. At its core, this is dark ambient, but with its roughly edged, mildly corrosive machine edges and cascading factory whir, Hall Of Mirrors moves into a much more active and cerebral sonic realm. Features contributions from Vestigial, New Risen Throne and K11. A must for fans of Troum, Terra Sancta and early Zoviet France. 6 panel eco-wallet.

The acoustic elements have been configured in a certain causal formation which is not consciously perceivable within the phenomenal order.

MONARCH! - 'Mer Morte' CD (Crucial Blast)
First appearing as a limited edition LP on the Spanish label Throne Records in 2008, "Mer Morte" is now made available on CD as an unbroken thirty-four minute sludge-and-feedback feast that sprawls out further into the dismal black void that these French doom junkies have been lurking in for the past six years. As with previous releases, Monarch move through massive blackened tarpits of low-end riffage and sheets of gluey feedback that are stretched out into monolithic slabs of sound, a grim, glacial ultra-doom that crawls at a saurian sub-tempo. Vocalist Emilie sounds as gaunt and ghostly as ever, her vocalizations materializing across the spatial doomscape as distant ululating wails, breathy whispers, and putrid death shrieks. Digisleeve.
Monno have come a long way, extending their malignant nature through thick layers of fog. For this new burial they've built a soundtrack like creeper with traces of gargling glass and atonal spheres that swing through the tracks like unidentified floating objects in the sky. At times you get the feeling your brain is attached to a mechanical beehive suffering various degrees of degradation resulting from the ingress of water and salt attacks. Without doubt their most brutal and menacing album to date, etheric yet droning vocals covered in doom frost... An impaired psychomotor as troublesome as the stars that hang above us, with the reeking odor of a thousand corpses. Think along the abandoned shores of Corrupted, Burning Witch, Ulver or Godflesh.

MUSIIKKIVYORY - 'Tulemme Sokeiksi' CD (Ektro Records)
"Tulemme sokeiksi" ("We're Becoming Blind") is a retrospective CD by Musiikkivyory ("music avalanche"). In addition to being a curious chapter in the endless saga of the post-punk era, this DIY document is also one of the finer, more elusive threads of the cassette-culture scene. Originally issued in 1981, Musiikkivyory's two tapes were the work of Mika Taanila, a 15-year-old who would grow up to become an internationally acclaimed filmmaker. This CD features the key tracks from those micro-edition recordings. Musiikkivyory's output is typical of the early 80s raw zeitgeist, but with a timeless, teen-anguish twist. Taanila heartily embraces punk's total do-it-yourself ideal, yet his style is light years away from the conventional guitar groups of the day: Atonal riffs, home electronics, randomly cut-up radio sounds, noise and primitive industrial weltschmertz blend into a rough, highly personalised whole.
Two titans of doom / guitar drone collaborate together. The result is heartstopping, taking a similar path to Jesu. Massive guitars, mountainous bass, tribal drums, choral vocals. Sublime - essential. Ltd x 750 copies in a black with silver-print sleeve on heavyweight vinyl. One side is good old-fashioned 'acid etched'. ACT FAST!

NADJA - 'When I See The Sun Always Shines On TV' CD (The End Records)
Toronto ambient / shoegaze / drone duo Nadja (Aidan Baker / Leah Buckareff) illustrate their diverse roots by covering some of their favorite artists: My Bloody Valentine, Codeine, Swans, Slayer, A-Ha, Elliott Smith, Kids In The Hall and The Cure. "... more than a simple tribute album. It's one of the best Baker byproducts in years" (Pitchfork). "Nadja carve out great slabs of sound, throbbing and trudging to melodic resolution with incredible slowness, over an entire side of vinyl at a time; you want to say “tectonic” and “chthonian” but not “glacial” because the fuzz-bass is so warm, rising through your feet, and the layered drones are so disorienting" (Drowned In Sound).

NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'VTERVS' CD (NCC Records)
From within the darkest regions of the heart, insane exultations to soft skin are screamed out through barriers of clotted blood and white noise, as once more, the thin line between obsession and devotion is crossed.

Where "Pure Skin" was in large part a collection of previously released rare tracks, "VTERVS" is the first all-new full-length album from Power Electronics / Industrial Noise act NTT in three years, and the first of the final four releases by the project. "VTERVS" features collaborative input from Cloama, SKM-ETR, STROM.ec and Silent_Command, as well as stalwart NTT personnel Mark Kammerbauer (Fragment King), Matt Slagle, and recent addition to the NTT war machine, Fallon Nieves (Covet).

NORD - 'L.S.D.' LP (PCP Records)
This is the reissue of the 1984 LP, originally issued on LSD Records. L.S.D. features rough hewn sheets of ominous yet trippy pulsating textural electronics with an obvious debt to the stark teutonic soundworlds of Kluster and Seesselberg. Any glimmers of transcendence are immediately offset by a deadzone ambience that reeks of Maurizio Bianchi. If this is cosmic, than it's the cosmos as viewed from the vantage point of a burned out cinder drifting into entropy. Nord was, for this recording, legendary Japanese Noise artist Hiroshi Oikawa.

A slightly damaged, spare, chamber folk-psych, whose distant cousins can be found in the darkly tender moments infused in early Psychic TV / Current 93 / Coil, or in the atmospheric postures of Antony & the Johnsons.

ROBERT SCOTT THOMPSON - 'Poesis Athesis (Music From The Flying Phoenix Films Of Terence Dunn)' CD (Lens Records)
Having originally worked together in the mid-80s, Chi Kung master Terrence Dunn once again contacted Robert Scott Thompson to compose music for his current series of video releases. Thompson composed the music to work specifically with the pace, mood and dynamics of the Flying Phoenix form of Chi Kung. The collaboration eventually spanned ten films and Thompson composed more than ten hours worth of music over a two year period. The thirteen tracks on "Poesis Athesis" are rooted in Thompson's ambient style but also blend with elements of electronica, ethnic influences and a personal homage to French composer Erik Satie. Thompson creates an atmosphere of calm and relaxation suitable for both introspective and meditative moments as well as chill out regeneration. Digipak.

ROTHKO - '291' 7" (Zeal Records)
Rothko are a UK 3-piece who employ a unique approach to ambient music. All three members play electric bass and often utilise a handful of effects to alter the bass guitar sound to otherworldly rumbles and pulses. Their songs wander between intertwining bass melodies and washes of sound. "291," is comprised of simple meandering bass melodies, with a set verse, chorus, verse structure. The parts themselves sound very open and freeform, which gives the song a spacious feel, like their tone collages, despite the absence of any ambient noises. The B-side, "St. Seno" combines soundscape with melody. The end result is fairly similar to the A-side but much easier to grab onto. Droning waves of sound provide a full backdrop for the simple harmonies of the two bass guitar parts. Faint clinking of bells and sound loops playing backwards create a dream-like ambience which smears the song into a short, to the point, bliss out.

SEKTOR 304 - 'Soul Cleansing' CD (Malignant Records)
Equipped with a frightening and impressive array of primitive instrumentation pulled from junkyards and scrap metal heaps, this Portuguese outfit has delivered an astounding debut - a heady mixture of truly old school industrial in the vein of Einstürzende Neubauten, Test Dept. and S.P.K., and the grinding, bass heavy dirge of vintage Swans and Godflesh. These are anthems to the past, but geared towards an apocalyptic and bleak future… a form of counter-culture using what is most evident in modern western society: the debris, the abandoned objects, the waste, the noise, and the interference. With a solid foundation of rusty, oil drenched percussion, Sektor 304 adds layer upon layer of squalling industrial clangor, hammering metallic noise, grimy atmospheres, heaving masses of haunted factory drones, and threatening tribal batter, with a strong and commanding vocal presence.

SEWER GODDESS / MOURNER - 'In The Cold Of Stabbing Doldrums' 10" (Apop Records)
Split 10” from Boston’s Sewer Goddess and Nashville’s Mourner. Combining raw, beat-driven power electronics and oppressive, ornamental doom, this slab of vinyl contains three tracks to carry you down the dark, looming path of isolation. Sewer Goddess’ enigmatic approach to both noise & power electronics weaves undulating rhythm, echoing vocal wretch, and vile guitar riffery into a caustic cauldron of depravity. Akin to the likes of Steel Hook Prostheses, Sewer Goddess has risen to the top of contemporary heavy electronics. With crushing power, Mourner’s dynamic volley of squelching feedback, death march percussion, and cavernous wraith vocal attack lends itself to the school of doom forebearers, Burning Witch and Khanate. With atmospheric tension at a snail’s pace, Mourner is able to harness the haunting cacophony of Hell with blackened romanticism. Hopeless, putrid – this is organic depression in its purest form.

3rd full length release from this acclaimed Martin Bladh (IRM) project (in conjunction with Magnus Lindh), following two albums on Cold Meat Industry. Like previous works, "Rothko Field" is a visceral auditory experience... mind bending and turbulent sonic explorations that are grainy, abstract and tense, where uneasy frequencies intersect with caustic drones, insectile buzz, swelling drifts, and slow motion, percussion driven sludgery. "Rothko Field" is more structured than in the past, coming off as both spacious and yet suffocatingly claustrophobic, suggestive of a spiral downwards into mental decay and degradation, and further enhanced by Martin's uniquely distressed and provocative vocalizations. 9 tracks in total, broken into two "mirrored parts", with track 5, "Void" acting as the actual mirror itself.

Then the album picks up with speedy black metal style drums and Sin Nanna’s unique guitar buzz... the title track, begins the album closedown with fast guitars that break up toward the end amidst more keyboard action and then are dropped altogether in the final track, where the keyboard and synth playing eases us into the night.

The new album Murder For The Mission is Volume 1 of old and very rare, almost unobtainable retrospective records of the Swedish cult project or the collection of cultural terrorism. The album Murder For The Mission includes both released and yet unreleased tracks from a few sessions. These are Vemod label's tape Murder For The Mission, a concert in Paris and a very limited edition on Utan Fana. So the audio terror goes on and those who believe that it has ended after the "Fentanyl Martyrs" act, now will pay the double price. The extremely aggressive psycho-powerelectronics shock full of hatred and insane samples will get them. Digipak.

TERRA SANCTA - 'Sunken / Buried / Forgotten' MCD (Malignant Records)
A brand new MCD from Terra Sancta, originally planned as part of the next full length release, but the tracks here are significantly different from the newer material being recorded as to warrant a separate release. "Sunken / Buried / Forgotten" should be seen as a sort of bridge between Terra Sancta's past and future recordings, the three lengthy tracks here representing the heavy droning sound found on particular parts of "Disintegration"; swaths of roughly textured, post-industrial drift, propelled forth with a massive back weight into a crescendo of epic turbulence, leaving a wake of swirling cosmic debris in its path. Once again, Terra Sancta shows an innate ability to push the limits of what is traditionally considered dark ambient. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

The other side is a bit more raw and intense, a seriously corrosive guitarscape, distorted and crumbling chordal buzz, looped and layered into a strange glacial riff... it manages to be intense and fierce but also gloriously washed out and blissful." (Aquarius). Part 1 of the Landscape series. Ltd x 400 copies on black vinyl with full colour insert.

This CD collects together the soundtracks to remakes of the Japanese cult "Ringu" movies from the 1990s: "The Ring" (2002) and "The Ring Two" (2005). Together Hans Zimmer, Henning Lohner and Martin Tillman have created some of the most powerful and bone-chilling film music of recent years. Delving deeper into the supernatural more than the usual horror film soundtrack, this score executes the terror build-up precisely with the use of piano, violin, synthesizer and duelling cellos played by Martin Tillman and Anthony Pleeth. This urban legend comes to life exposing raw emotion by brewing up a sense of mystery, horror and helplessness for the moviegoer.

Reissue of Velnias' 2008 album. The music of Illinois based blackened doom outfit Velnias can be best described as a combination of sorrowful black metal with a very doomy atmosphere, combined with elements of folk.

WERKRAUM - 'Early Love Music' CD (Ahnstern / Steinklang)
14 progressive and traditional, psychedelic and medieval folk songs and chants of early love. 14 dreamy memories of the merry blue days from early times. With "Early Love Music" the German Folk musician Axel Frank sets a surpassing milestone for the new generation of Folk artists. A year after releasing his quite Martial / Neoclassical oriented debut on Cold Spring (CSR49CD), Axel got heavily involved with Alpine Folk heroes Sturmpercht and found his love in late 60s / early 70s Psych / Prog Folk music, thus changing his own direction, with the highly successful MCD 'Kristalle'. The complex arrangements and large variety of instruments even remind of The Incredible String Band and some early Acid-Folk bands. "Early Love Music" brings 2 cover versions: Donovan's ingenious fairytale "Jabberwocky" and traditional folk hit "The Blacksmith". Features collaborations with Changes, Lady Morphia and Sturmpercht. Digipak. RECOMMENDED!

Folk Rock from Oregon. At the foundation of "Sewn In Seems" is everything you would expect from Jason Merritt (aka Whip); wonderfully raw front-porch singing and acoustic guitar. Normally Merritt ends there, letting the simplisty and naked beauty of the songs speak for themselves. However, with "Sewn in Seems," he has taken the song to a whole new level. Besides the addition of standing bass and piano, Merritt has added a lot of atmosphere to the song by his playing of some mellow flutes, wine glasses and manipulated tea kettles. The end result is spectacular.

WOLF & WINTER - 'When The Cold Earth Rests In Silence' CD (Twilight Records)
Wolf & Winter's second album is still in the vein of their first album's raw black metal, but moves a step forward into depressive black metal, combining ambient strings and bombastic drums from the first pagan metal and using a grimmer repertoire of black metal vocals. Not quite post black metal, it uses some elements of this genre to combine the first age of Bathory and Hellhammer with Ulver, Burzum and even Agalloch. To stand in the roots of primitive and raw music is why this second album does not completely move forward into a more modern concept of black metal, but this doesn't mean it's stuck in the past. This way, the music gains more solidness and independence in a genre which has been so done, so constructed, so reconstructed and at last, so repeated. Digipak.

As the Wolfskin era comes to end, this release represents a glimpse into their past… a more organic, flowing ambient record than what you may find today. That being said, it most certainly will go down as one of their more stunning, darker visions; a masterpiece of shadowy atmospheres and drifting currents, featuring multiple layers of archaic sounds, nebulous textures and ritual invocations, perfectly combined to form a release of intense depth and complexity.

And so the journey formally ends for Wolfskin, 15 years from whence it began with the release of "The Hidden Fortress" cassette back in 1995. The essence of Wolfskin has transformed and mutated throughout the years, reaching on "The Stonegates of Silence" it's simpler form… one of desolation, solitude, insanity and death, the final frontiers of human existence. As he did with "The Hidden Fortress: A Revisitation" CD, Wolfskin once again pairs up with Anders Peterson of Objekt4 fame, now operating under the name of Last Industrial Estate for the purposes of this recording. This is Wolfskin at its bleakest and most restrained, offering 5 tracks of enveloping ambience built around foggy, ambiguous textures and an endless flow of drifting isolationism, shapeless horrors, and oppressive subterranean heaviness. In the case of Stonegates, Wolfskin goes out not with a bang, but with a slow, evolutionary creep into the shadows, forever etched in the lexicon of dark ambient music. Digipak.

YAN JUN - 'Music For Listening On The Moon' CD (Kwanyin Records)
One hour of continual sound, entwined with the other dim sounds of your room. “Music For Listening On The Moon” is a continuation of “Wormhole Trip OST” (Kwanyin, 2009). "A contemplative album of innerspace travel. The album transcends its humble productions of sinusoidal flutterings of pedal sourced feedback and squiggling aquatic field recordings treated with ring modulation, as Yan seeks a radically different approach to the cosmic listening embarked by the likes of Cluster and Tangerine Dream, whose baroque expansiveness has been subsumed by the vacuum of outerspace, with just those two sources intertwining in an endless mobius strip of silvery drone and pointilist tactility. It sounds more like Steve Roden taking over an Asmus Tietchens album and allowing the electronically treated sounds and tones to organically evolve into a radiant blossom instead of the purposefully cold and sometimes stiff compositions that Tietchens often produces" (Aquarius).

15 years after it’s original release, and out of print for almost as long, Yen Pox’ Blood Music has finally been re-issued. Regarded by many as a benchmark recording within the realm of dark ambient music, this deluxe 2CD edition contains a completely re-mastered and remixed version of "Blood Music" plus a previously unreleased track on disc 1, as well as the first cassette and various compilation and 7” releases on disc 2. Combined, the discs offer well over two hours of colossal, mind bending atmospherics of the highest order, the sounds radiating outwards into a sprawling horizon of sulfur dark skies, then descending into a relentless maelstrom of shifting textures, treacherous reverberations, and endless, sinister drift. Packaged in a luxurious 8 panel DVD digipak, with completely new design by Andre Coelho (Sektor 304), this is the perfect marriage of both music and packaging, and will further solidify Blood Music’s status as one of the all time classic dark ambient releases.
Brand new material by this cult project from the US, working with deep e-bass sounds to create an isolationist mass of darkest cosmic ambience, a kind of "black hole" ur-drone. When you put this on you are immediately touched by the cold breath of an amorph "otherness". This sound is so monumental and complex that it seems to suspend not only the mind but also the physis, and you experience intensely that both are the same anyway. There's something in this music that lets you really shiver and feel levitated at the same time. Gloriously, the self is dissolving.

With the behemoth-like monolithically paced traditional “cosmic” doom sounds that have helped define Yob’s sound over the years, Yob also incorporate new elements that give “The Great Cessation” a pummeling energetic vibe like no other Yob album, while at the same time delivering even more plunging abysmal dirge-like histrionics that go so far as to even render moments on “The Great Cessation” as blasphemous and evil. In true Yob tradition, the album ends with the 20-minute title track, which ends the album in that surging victorious moment; in the most epic of moments. A 2-LP edition was later issued on Southern Lord. Digipak.

ZYRTAX - 'Aloka' 7" (Dead Mind Records)
After the successful collaboration CDs with Contagious Orgasm and Government Alpha, noise giants DAVE PHILLIPS, GX JUPITTER-LARSEN (Haters), ODAL & SUDDEN INFANT were asked to send in raw material to be decomposed and rearranged for the first Zyrtax 7". These 4 tracks were carefully built over the last year and while being very different (Power Electronics, Experimental, Improv), they fit together perfectly on this nice little record. Silver and black sleeve.
This tidy little 7" from Dutch act Zyrtax (aka Johnny Van e Kookwijk of Dead Husbands, Masonic Youth etc) could be inspired by the good old-school Industrial / Experimental of SPK, Esplendor Geometrico and Maurizio Bianchi - representing a constant evolution of 80s loop based industrial into the new millennium. Ltd x 450 copies.
Building on the experimentations from their debut CD (with a mix of field-recordings, guitars, electronically manipulated sounds and spoken word fragments), Melanchoholics walk new paths, combining minimal guitars, drones, low-end bass and lo-fi electronic sound collages. The only consensus is to create slow, depressive soundscapes. A soundtrack to personal miserable states of mind, psychotic euphoria and intoxicated wastelands. It is a low-end manifesto for low-end connoisseurs.
