(2006) Arising from the verdant soils of Cascadia, Alethes bring us their epic debut album "Aletheia". Originally conceived as ritual, these are five timeless compositions comprised of mournful and warm acoustic guitars, shamanistic percussion, classical strings and deeply ancient vocal harmonies, with guest percussionist Markus Wolff (Waldteufel, Blood Axis). Digging deep into the Earth and reaching ever higher to the Heavens in the eternal quest for illumination. Alethes emerge from tradition and disappear into Nature's shadows, yearning for a time past, or yet to be, where the ancient fires burn bright and the cycles of life are awarded their proper respect. This wonderful pressing features black foil stamping on obscure black leathery stock. Outsized 6-panel digifile, limited to 1000 copies.
Rare magazine, printed 2001. 60 pages of Dark Art Oddities and Aural Abominations in the 9th edition of this US magazine. Features interviews with H.R. Giger, Boyd Rice, Der Blutharsch, Atrax Morgue, Corvus Corax, Trevor Brown, John Coulthart, and more! A4 with full color cover by H.R. Giger and four full color pages of Trevor Brown's work. Writers include Michael Moynihan (Blood Axis), Markus Wolff (Waldteufel), and Carl Abrahamsson (Cotton Ferox, White Stains).

IN GOWAN RING - 'Exists And Entrances' 2 x CD (Ahnstern / Steinklang)
(2007) "Exists & Entrances" is a retrospective through the years 1994 to 2003. All 40 songs have never been released officially before, only the artist himself gave away some personal copies. On several songs Jon Michael B'Eirth performs with Michael Moynihan & Annabel Lee (Blood Axis), with Markus Wolff (Waldteufel) and other friends around his magical circle of Folk freaks. Besides several traditional songs, this compilation also includes coverversions from songs by great 60's/70's Progressive Folk artists and songwriters, like The Incredible String Band, Strawbs, Vashti Bunyan, Nick Drake, as well as cover-versions from Psychic TV, The Legendary Pink Dots, Brian Castillo (Jarboe) and 17 Pygmies. Hand-made digipak.
Sonne Hagal’s second full-length album once more bestows the listener with a journey into the unknown realms of poetry, mysteries and enthralling melodies. Closely connected to Europa’s folk-music tradition and the Northern mysteries, the band develops song structures that reach from simple traditional arrangements to complex compositions. The songs, performed in German and English, reveal rediscovered poems as well as self-written lyrics. The atmosphere of the songs varies from intimate, quiet parts to fresher, light-hearted and lively sounds up to heavy distorted parts supported by real or electronic drums. Each song unfolds its own universe, interconnected by the central idea of “Jordansfrost”: the constant changing between light and darkness, the seasons or even life and death themselves. Guests: Of The Wand And The Moon, In Gowan Ring ,Waldteufel, Ernte, Lux Interna, Darkwood and Black Sun Productions. 6-panel, die-cut digipak. Orange artwork edition.
