Highly anticipated new album from Japanese Doom overlords Corrupted. Their 4th album, “Garten Der Unbewusstheit” (“garden of unconsciousness”), is the final album by 'original' Corrupted featuring 3 tracks over 63 minutes. "But ”Garten Der Unbewusstheit” should have existed from the early hardcore-approaching days of Corrupted. This paradoxical evolution form is nothing but the result of huge studio works, mixing thousands of feedback and guitar overtones, like constructing three dimensional architecture. This album totally transcends our usual sense of time... this transcending sense can be described as the sense of liberation from material and life through music.

CRISIS - 'Hymns Of Faith' 12" (La Vida Es Un Mus)
Re-release for the first time on vinyl, since it's original release in may 1980 - the one and only 7 track album from seminal radical and political punk / post punk band Crisis. 'Hymns Of Faith' was Crisis at their more reserved. The guitar was more innovative than on the punk anthems on their earlier singles, but the lyrics were just as politically bitter. Lyrically the album deals with subjects such as TV, violence, totalitarian Russia and European terrorist organisations. This was their last effort, as it had all begun to fall apart by this time for Crisis, with the band members going in different directions. Douglas P. went on to form Death In June with Tony Wakeford (Sol Invictus), and Luke Rendall went on to form Theatre Of Hate. 30 years since its release 'Hymns Of Faith' still sounds vital and honest.

GELSOMINA & NO XIVIC - 'Furnace' CD (Some Place Else)
"Furnace" is an unlikely, yet strangely natural union of No Xivic, renowned sculptor of dark electro-acoustic soundscapes, and Gelsomina, Finland's most prolific harsh noise artist. The title track, also the main piece on the album, is a live collaboration recorded in late 2006, a grand opus of psychedelic noise with a peculiar 'kraut' flavour! In addition to this, both artists created exclusive tracks on their own to complete the album. In total, "Furnace" is a 44-minute blast of fire, brimstone and hazardous electric currents. Presented in a slimline square DVD case.
Generic’s “Torture” is a long and deeply unsettling journey into the beating black heart, and Antarctic iciness of the collective shattered psyche, of a shattered mankind. Created using ‘foley tracks’ and sound effects (used for both film and television), as well as the occasional guitars, bass, and found sounds, it all combines to produce a haunting, nerve-shredding, ghostly and schizophrenic soundtrack, guaranteed to simultaneously freeze the heart and mind, and induce cold sweat to bead the forehead and shivers to wrack the body.

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.
Brutal ambient noise and drone/doom split from two great young acts. Ghast offers up two monsters: the 21+ minute torturous noise / dark ambient epic "Le Noye" and the ultra sick, ascetic doom mutilation "Tetanos". The three tracks of Rape-X are united by one title "Civil Servant" and divided into 3 chapters 'The Cop', 'The Commissioner' and 'The Mayor'. A much more aggressive noise attack than the Canadians! A powerful constant noise beam oriented into infinity, along with mutant harsh voices. 70+ minutes playing time in total! Ltd x 1000 copies.

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.
CD issue of this instant classic of avant-sludge (originally issued on vinyl in 2009 by Feast Of Tentacles). This is the only recording Gruel made, or will ever make since they announced their recent split, and what a testament it is! Like The Melvins playing King Crimson's "Red" album, this is at both theatrical, beautifully composed, and troglodyte-ianly heavy. Utterly immersive, each passage of quiet atmospherics is shattered by a barrage of brilliant repetitious riffing. Four 15 minute-long songs and it's totally captivating from start to finish.

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.

Van Hoek crosses the lines between the non rhythmic Pan Sonic, and combines it with nice, but not all too harsh noise and leap frogs into the world of drone. His use of loops prevents this to be much in the world of musique concrete, but there too lies some of his interest... a most enjoyable album of experimental music" [FdW].

These recordings depart wildly from anything that either Rowe or Ambarchi have produced before. This speaks volumes when you consider the combined weight of their explorations to this point. Amazingly, neither player falls back on past gestures or comfortable proven techniques. The result is four startling electro-acoustic environments. Only David Tudor's "Rainforest" has gone so far to create a world that is at once highly electronic, yet totally organic, without resorting to base mimicry of natural sounds. It evokes the sea, an immovable mass of fluidity, in a way that Roland Kayn would admire. But having said that, there is little to compare this to. The four pieces on this disc could be field recordings from lost civilizations. Comes in digipak with artwork by Keith Rowe.

KREUZWEG OST - 'Gott Mit Uns' CD (Cold Spring CSR141CD)
2nd monumental album from Kreuzweg Ost for Cold Spring, headed by Michael Gregor (SUMMONING / AMESTIGON). "We see a light through the dim and cloudy shadows of our existence. In the electric field between. Total faith and desperation, hope and doubt, eternal bliss and delusion, we walk an unsure path to an unknown end. When the clouds open, the light navigates. The loud music of the sky: pounding drums surrounded by trumpets and swirling voices echoing from a distance unknown". Kreuzweg Ost rises again with God on their side. �Gott Mit Uns� combines a variety of different musical styles: from Martial Industrial to Classical sounds, from deep Ambient to cinematic anthems. These musical prayers are made for those seeking salvation.
KNO is a collaborative project between Swedish industrial legend Peter Nystrom (Megaptera, Negru Voda), and Norwegian up and comer Kristoffer Oustad (V:28, Plague Machinery). Welcome to Overlook Hotel, where every room has a ghost, and every room has a story to tell. Travel the hallways and explore, as you venture into a cerebral musical state, where ghostly transmissions and hypnotic layers of surreal, ethereal atmospheres intersect with disembodied voices, clattering, furnace blasting percussion, and of course, healthy injections of true, old fashioned Death Industrial noise and sweeping doom, done in the best Scandinavian style. The pacing of the album is truly impeccable, flowing seamlessly from to track, as if moving from room to room in a hazy, dream state, the layering and cohesiveness on a whole nothing short of meticulous. 10 tracks in total, 2 of which are exclusive to the record, one of which is a backwards version of what will be on the CD released later in winter. Limited to 217 copies (one for every room at the hotel). Don’t miss a chance to grab what is unequivocally one of the most well conceived and well executed records in the history of Malignant.

The album starts with a long, minimal, repetitive track, reminding one of some of Charlemagne Palestine’s work. Emotion prevails on abstraction, a long heady, cinematic development, a play on volumes and contrasts like hesitating between total anguish and peaceful contemplation. The musical form thus created is the prelude to an almost apocalyptic noise swoop which, in an oddly beautiful manner, finally transforms itself into a collage of orchestrated violins, illusion of infinity meeting a most abrupt end.

LORDS OF BUKKAKE - 'Desorden Y Rencor' CD (Totalrust)
"Desorden y Rencor" is the second album from Spanish trio, Lords of Bukkake, and brings 40 minutes of sickening slow motion Sludge/Doom filled with dirty riffs, greasy feedback, high-pitched insane vocals and lots of effects and electronics in the background. Extremely heavy, psychedelic and noisier / weirder than any of their previous material. Think Iron Monkey meets Swans meets Grief meets Godflesh meets Esoteric meets Eyehategod and you are still not even close. Mastered by Bri Doom (Lazarus Blackstar).

Mastery is Domignostika's long running project, which, over the last six years. released 5 extremely limited CDR demos, all of which are collected here, remastered, and widely available outside of the Bay Area for the very first time. Starting with creeped out ambient, Mastery launches into frenzied freak out black buzz... sinister beastly croaking vocals, furious blast drums, rapidfire multiple guitars... a demented slab of black metal weirdness. Mastery is total berzerker black metal, rooted in the tradition of true grim blackness... a droned out and damaged, outsider blackness, that sounds pretty much unlike almost any other black metal. Latter tracks end the double disc release with crumbling, blackened doom/drone drenched black metal.

MATT HOWDEN - 'Robot World' CD (Redroom Records)
An original film score by Matt Howden (Sieben, HaWthorn, Duo Noir). "Robot World" is a non-verbal documentary by German film director Martin Hans Schmitt. The soundtrack is best described as Neoclassical in style; it is music to sink into and drift away with. The music is scored with strings, loops, piano, and bass. Just over 50 minutes of music in total here. Shrinkwrapped card slip.
Near exact replica of this classic M.B. private LP published in 1983 in an edition of 300 copies. "A nodulose decrease of few sparkling casings, with manual scents or prolonged sick terms of tumoral cells. To replenish the majority of the rusty pathology we inject a fit existence in the deadly symptom of a weak bandage. The microscopic precipice undertakes a nasty hesitation into the bored carcinosi. Which is the calamitous result of the adamic transgression" (Maurizio Bianchi, Milan, 2011). Included is a numbered insert consisting in new liner notes by Maurizio Bianchi and a replica of an original polaroid photo by M.B. from 1982.

"Near Death" (cassette, Sound Source 1991) was Megaptera's first official release and is the only release with all 3 members (Peter Nyström, Magnus Pettersson, Mikael Svensson).

MERZBOW - 'Anicca' CD (Cold Spring CSR107CD)
The first track on Merzbow's latest opus was recorded at Tin Pan Alley studios, London, on 20th April 2008 - the day after his momentous performance at ULU. Akita created an astounding and very unique 20-minute track, playing freestyle drums over his trademark noise. The final 2 tracks were created at Munemi House in Tokyo. Another fine example of why Merzbow is the undisputed King of Japanese Noise! 58 minutes in total.
Merzbow crafts sound, creating terrifying atmospheres and emotionally heavy soundscapes. Musically, the album borders on the most abusive power noise with a semblance of percussive structure. These rhythms keep this album from falling into an abyss of intolerable dissonance. Part one, at almost 30 minutes in length, will test not only your will-power, but your speakers as well. Part two is 40 minutes of shifting, throbbing noise, totally free of melody and structure Recommended for headphone listening. Digipak.

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.

It would be totally insane to be waiting for something life-asserting, light and positive for the three of them. "Helvete" is just the overwhelming Darkness and the ice-cold all-filling Terror.

For his rework, Rehberg used the recordings of the very first Kapotte Muziek workshop (and concert) held in september 1997, as part of Staalplaat's 'Masterclass' event at the Korzo Theatre, in Den Haag. Moving away from digital computer noise for this work, Rehberg crafted a beautifully soft but outspoken piece of music. Low rumbles at micro levels and moments of silence are interspersed with isolated throbs and shimmering mid-frequency drones. A total playing time of 17:30.
PUISSANCE - 'Back In Control' CD (Equilibrium Music)
Following the awe-inspiring debut "Let Us Lead", Puissance would return a couple of years later to unleash "Back In Control", a cynical tribute to human evolution and how such evolution inevitably seems to dictate the end of the World and mankind's own extinction. The impending man-made apocalypse which Soderlund obsessively narrates is superbly illustrated by epic martial compositions, to which the pace is set by loud marching drums and Industrial percussion. A compelling work of art, that would bring Industrial music to a new climax, thanks to the glorious Neoclassical arrangements that Puissance have developed for the album. Originally issued via Cold Meat Industry, this rare classic is now finally made available again. "Back In Control" has been remastered and enhanced with one bonus track. Deluxe digipak edition with embossed cover.

3rd full length release from this acclaimed Martin Bladh (IRM) project (in conjunction with Magnus Lindh), following two albums on Cold Meat Industry.

"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.

The most remorseless, brutal Skullflower ever! Alternating between granular lo-fi primitive rock and granular lo-fi primitive Power Electronics, this taut disc is a chain mail glove of hate to any lazy minds who've tainted the air with describing Skullflower as 'psychedelic'. But that's not to say this is an all out total assault. There are also moments of tender acoustic balladry, its just that they don't exist. The remorseless brutal sound is primitive, but as detailed and rich as a blood soaked medieval canvas, somewhere betwixt The Rita and Clandestine Blaze, but more brutal! Long live the New Flesh!

SKULLFLOWER - 'Orange Canyon Mind' CD (Crucial Blast)
The 2005 full length from the legendary UK free / drone / psych outfit, featuring some of the most searing, synapse scorching droneworks that Matthew Bower (Sunroof!, Total, Hototogisu) has unleashed to date. "Orange Canyon Mind" is the follow up to 2002's awesome "Exquisite Fucking Boredom" (Tumult), and continues that album's utter mutation of stoned out riffs pulled taffy-like into eternity / oblivion and star-rupturing blasts of sonic white light. Over the 8 tracks / 60 minute running time, Bower and cohorts build massive horizontal drones and melodic supernovas. Superb, beautiful, brain melting stuff.
A black-void beaming of utterly destroyed drone rock and crushing amplifier obliteration that rains down black ash and punishing blasts of feedback skree on the listener. A dynamic, bleary-eyed meditation. An avalanche of powerdrone that threatens to take your cranium apart and transport your grey matter into filthy new dimensions infested with melodic razor cuts and submerged mantras. A triumphant eruption of apocalyptic meta-metal and radioactive raga swarms, guaranteed to loosen eardrums. This album is one of the heaviest, harshest slabs of guitar armageddon from Matthew Bower since the glory days of Total, and bridges the void between the krautrock / celestial free drone influence of the last few Skullflower albums, and the blackened molten death of his Mirag material.
SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY - 'Dead Weather Machine Re:Heat' CD (Manifold)
There's a good story behind this disc. Why a simultaneous release of two SRF discs so closely related? Originally conceptualised as a 100 copy only disc to go with a special limited edition of Dead Weather Machine, Manifold commissioned Sleep Research Facility to create a single hour-long track of total dark-ambient drift based on the original material. To put it plainly; when we got this master, we were blown away and realized this was too good to let slip into obscurity. It would be a shame to keep this from being available to all people who seek out the best in dark-ambient and drift. Engaging, emotional and worthy of listening to ten years down the road. This is roughly an hour of slowly changing, deep, meditative drift based on the Dead Weather Machine source materials, in a slim, lightweight package. Think of it as a companion disc. So here you are, an option that you really shouldn't pass up. It is unimaginable that anyone that likes dark ambient to not like this one.

TSURUBAMI - 'Tenrin' CD (Vivo Records)
Tsurubami is the latest Acid Mothers Temple off-shoot project, featuring guitarist Makoto Kawabata, percussionist Nobuka Emi and bassist Hiroshi Higashi. It becomes apparent early on in their "Tenrin" recording that what the trio is going after is complete and total annihilation. Sharp pricks of repetitive guitar, raging solos, pounding drums, psychedelic sections full of whacked out guitars and primal drums, metal-hammer, feedback laced mayhem sections. An aural orgasm like you've rarely heard it before!
URUK-HAI - 'In Durins Halls (Return To The Mines Of Moria)' Enhanced CD (Runenstein Records / Bleichmond Tonschmiede / W.A.R. Productions)

Sergiy from Moloch. "In Durins Halls" is rough, epic, dark and full of forgotten legends. The album was hidden for a decade in in the mines of Moria but now its unleashed! No harp is wrung, no hammer falls: The darkness dwells in Durin's Halls. Mastered at the Luftschutzkerker Studios Suisse by cz (Vinterriket, Atomtrakt). Contains a video entitled "In Durins Halls" Slimline DVD case.

WHOURKR - 'Concrete' CD (Crucial Blast)
The 2nd album from French deathtronix duo Whourkr is a whirlwind of electronically processed and treated avant-death/grind that is as violent and brutal as it is complex and obsessively constructed, relying as much on samplers and software as it does on bonecrushing riffs, screaming and hyperspeed blastbeats. Following a similar strategy as James Plotkin's post-production grind experiments on the first Phantomsmasher album, all of the guitars, drums, and vocals are arranged and recorded by Whourkr and then run through a gauntlet of hardcore editing and remixing. Total chaos deathgrind filtered through a futuristic cuisinart of ultra-aggressive electronica, like a freaked-out epileptic mashup of Atari Teenage Riot, Dying Fetus, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Venetian Snares, Blut Aus Nord, and John Zorn. Akin to Drumcorps, Bong-Ra, Dataclast, Noism, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Reptiljan, Mulk and DHR. Digipak.
Vinyl reissue of 2007's "Peas Feast" self-released EP. Mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed). Four lengthy songs of ultra-heavy sludge, crushing glacial metal, psych rock, noise rock and desperate howling vocals. Slow, sludgy and creeping but still unbelievably catchy and exuberant. Although this early material is more immediate and raw than the band's debut album Six, the music is crushing, catchy and totally spaced-out. Ltd x 1000 copies on yellow / black marbled vinyl. Comes with a dropcard that will allow you to download the tracks from the "Peas Feast" EP as well as a digital-only EP titled "Drongolet Demos" with unreleased Wildildlife tracks.
WILL OVER MATTER - 'Lust For Knowledge' CD (Freak Animal)
Finnish project Will Over Matter (Harald Mentor of Ride For Revenge, Total Headfuck) continues its path to new dimensions. Utterly unique approach bordering genius and utterly insane. Making choices that nobody else dares. Will Over Matter's take on esoteric-industrial noise abandons the cliche's of dark ambient / reverb drenched ritual muzak etc. It doesn't sound "retro", yet the approach more in common with Maurizio Bianchi and Musiikkivyöry than contemporary noise.
