Anticipated release after the release of "The Legacy" on Eibon and "Mer" on Blade in 1999-2000. "Nona" takes inspiration from a case of xenoglossy (the ability to speak in an unlearned and unheard foreign language, often associated with past-life recall, states of trance or hypnosis and mediumship) discovered in Great Britain around the early Thirties when a woman in state of trance expressed herself in a language which was recognised as ancient Egyptian. This voice from the past was called "Nona" or "The One Without a Name". This release introduces new elements for Amon and could be easily filed both under Dark Ambient and Avantgarde. Comes in 10" wallet!

DONIS - 'Alexandreia' CD (Autarkeia)
'Alexandreia' serves as a deep, pure and dreamy manifest to the ancient times. Tranquil, transparent and persuasive ambient streams prevail in the tracks. The archaic winds of different nations tastefully add to it on some of the tracks, with hornpipe, bagpipes, tabor and bells. The Mediterranean past and present, the East and the West, the Greeks and the barbarians meet in the catharsis of profound sadness and wisdom, where the fall of civilisation witnessed in the vanishing cultural heritage is revealed. Greek poetry is recited in an enchanting voice and the ambient melting the words with elemental force embrace the audience who do not even know the archaic language. 'Alexandreia' will not disappoint the lovers of Dead Can Dance, Raison D’etre etc. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

Third full length album of one-man project Liholesie under the name of "Videniya" ("The Visions"). Almost 2 years after the last Liholesie release, these 11 tracks are like a wind to another world… like a splinter of forgotten dreams, like echoes from the very heart of the forest, gloomy visions in the witch circle.

THE RITA & WILT - 'Werewolf In The Black Space' CD (Cipher Productions)
Reissue of a limited cassette (Ltd x 10 copies, The Institute For Organic Conversations), with a bonus previously unreleased track and new artwork. This tantalising meeting of the minds maintains the roughly-sawn quality of the original. With such disparate takes on their craft, it's no surprise this CD finds both Wilt and The Rita dragging each other's imposing form into new areas; approached either as a re-imagining and re-contextualising of The Rita, or a brutish noise immersion for Wilt, 'Werewolf In The Black Space' surpasses any obvious confrontation for six moody, bloody, invasive and violent tracks of inspired texturising and midnight stalk which will appeal to those interested in either project's output. Ltd x 500 copies.
THE RITA - 'Bodies Bear Traces Of Carnal Violence' CD (PACrec)
