STEMCELL RESEARCH PROJECT - 'Charnel Houses' CD (Syzmic Records)
Five songs inspired by death and post-mortem rituals with each passage delving deeper into the stygian abyss. "Charnel Houses" is profoundly imbued with feelings of despair brought forth with field recordings of actual autopsies taking place. Somber moments layered with metal percussion, white noise and rhythmic drones that envelope the listener like a lead blanket. SRP is J. P. Whetzel of Welter In Thy Blood. Mastered by John Stillings of Steel Hook Prostheses. Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak.

VA - 'The Stranglers Chapter 1' 2 x CD (Choking Hazard Records)
This is the first chapter of a 3 DCD series. It's a concept about strangling scenes from old horror movies, "I got this idea with the name of my label, Choking Hazard, it's not about the band called the Stranglers!". Doom and Sludge bands transmit the same feelings of old horror movies, it's creepy and primitive with slow motions. 2 and a half hours of doom & sludge from: Atavist, Feast Of Sins (2 tracks), Ghost Empire (2 tracks), Moloch (3 tracks), Stasis (3 tracks), The Austrasian Goat (3 tracks), The Whorehouse Massacre (3 tracks) and Welter In Thy Blood.

WELTER IN THY BLOOD - 'Through The Fields Of Mourning' CD (Shadowgraph Records)
Welter In Thy Blood is a three piece Black Funeral Doom band emerging from Los Angeles in 2007 with the intent of giving a soundtrack to human extinction. The elegies of Welter In Thy Blood speak of their virulent hate of human existence and the lauding of death and solitude. Revealed through a staggering funeral cadence and guttural ululations is a feeling of absolute torment and despondency. Like a putrid mass for an unholy God. Welter In Thy Blood musically coalesced self mutilation and misanthropy with the urge for voluntary human extinction, coining the term "Suicide is a Virtue". Not for the weak or feeble, this is music for the slightly deranged and the disturbed. Ltd x 1000 copies in a 6-panel digipak with artwork by Kevin Yuen (TenHornedBeast, Sunn O))) etc).
