KTL is Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Gravetemple, Æthenor, Thorr's Hammer) and Peter Rehberg (PITA). 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. Cover by SOMA.

KTL - 'KTL' CD (Editions Mego)
Threatening new collaboration taking in parallel worlds of Extreme Computer Music and Black Metal. KTL is Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Gravetemple, Æthenor, Thorr's Hammer) and Peter Rehberg (PITA). A six part collision amongst the increasingly fading presences between the light and the dark. This work came about as the two were composing sound and music for a piece by Gisèle Vienne and Dennis Cooper, entitled 'Kindertotenlieder'. This CD is NOT the soundtrack to said piece, but a separate project. However, elements may appear in the finished piece which is to be premiered in Brest, France, March 2007. Pieces were recorded in a resistance fortress in southern France during a thunderstorm. Others in a wintergarden drenched in the sunlight.

TROUM - 'Eald-Ge-Stréon' CD (Beta-Lactam Ring Records)
Welcome to the Thunderdome. Troum’s bone-cracking reverberations respirate with such ferocity that all non-Troum molecules are blown away. "Eald-Ge-Stréon" is a massive, rising beauty. It is a great becoming, and we are nothing but an ant in the afterbirth. Troum has set its controls beyond the heart of the Sunn. The pulsating inferno of these 7 drone concertos may require an insurance adjuster, but what a lovely way to burn. It is in your nature to do one thing correctly. Before Troum, you rightly tremble. But fear is not what you owe Troum. You owe Troum awe! Comes in mini-gatefold cover with strange metallic silver-blue layout by Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Thorr's Hammer, Gravetemple, Æthenor etc) and photography by Seldon Hunt.
