ABSTRACT SPIRIT - 'Liquid Dimensions Change' CD (Solitude Productions)
Side project of Black Metal band Twilight Is Mine from the suburbs of Moscow, with vocalist / drums from Moscow funeral doom band Comatose Vigil. Those guys - Stellarghost (keys) and Hater (bass/guitars) began this project. Their first full length album �Liquid Dimensions Change� brings you six tracks (1 hour) of classic funeral doom, like it was meant to be. Think of such bands as Shape of Despair or Coliseum. At the same time the music is very versatile, with very sludgy parts, combined with some beautiful melodies. Russian import.
First full-length from Aluk Todolo, showing the band developing the esoteric theorems established on it's debut 7" and going far deeper in the methodical exploration of the occult powers of musical trance. With the goal to create a timeless, organic mixing of krautrock's strangeness and black metal's coldness, AT conjures rabid obsessive rhythms and abyssal disharmonic guitars, subliminal spiritualist vibrations and bizarre, magick summonings. “Intense and hypnotic, heavy and fucking genius. Ritualistic sounds, both black and brilliant, pulled from the void, a mysterious and sonic netherworld. Definite contender for record of the year" [Aquarius].

AS ALL DIE - 'Time Of War And Conflict' CD (Crowd Control Activities)
"As All Die - an artist-name that promises the blackest of the blackest - and keeps its promise. "Time of war and conflict" operates on a level that belongs to the darkest and gloomiest edge of the experimental-scene. With a starting point taken in the periods of world war, the music is built up around acoustical instruments played in a dark folk-style and a subdued obscure voice that reveals its background in the black metal-scene. The music is dark and slow. And to create the perfect atmosphere As All Die utilize elements similar to albums like Lustmord's "The monstrous soul" or Profane Grace's "Serenity of the endless grave". Meanwhile electronic soundscapes once in a while add a little emotion to the otherwise cynic overall expression. Listeners of dark ambient and dark-folk music should be able to find the musical treasure underneath the many layers of death and tragedy. Others may find the black expression a little exaggerated. But then again: Considering the concept of the album, the extreme blackness seems unavoidable" (Vital Weekly).

BLACK BONED ANGEL - 'The Endless Coming Into Life' CD (20 Buck Spin)
New Zealander Campbell Kneale, of prolific one-man bliss drone project Birchville Cat Motel, returns to his metallic alter-ego Black Boned Angel. Both projects chase a similar idea from different ends of the spectrum. This work is perhaps Kneale’s most obvious combination of the extreme minimalism of his ambient tendencies and the extreme maximalism of his forays into the center of the subterranean metal guitar riff. The album first lulls one into a meditative state of relative calm before plummeting into the chasm created by the vibrations of a single, snarling riff so heavy it could rip a hole in the heavens. Consisting of a sole one-hour track, "The Endless Coming Into Life" sits comfortably alongside the darker end of Kneale’s ever-growing catalogue of work dedicated to finding the light (or dark) source of the universal drone. Digipak with spot varnishing.

Formed in Osaka, Japan, circa 1994, the reclusive group has issued an inordinate number of singles, EPs, split discs, and full-length albums over the years, but always under their own idiosyncratic terms. These include holding anything remotely resembling rock stardom in utter contempt, mysteriously writing all of their lyrics in Spanish, and refusing to even take promo shots, so that the only known images of the group are those snapped by fans at their concerts" (All Music Guide).

Includes the monstrous 30:35 "Theme From Diana" - a re-working of a "metal percussion" set that Geisha originally performed live. A slowly building fog of voices and effects and shimmering metal that blooms into an expanse of droning, fx-heavy guitar, looping samples, cosmic effects, and improv percussion.

Beyond the blackness and the buzz, lies a record of impossible depth, full of emotion and passion. Anti war, anti military outsider individualistic blackness that destroys any other BM you've heard". 6-panel Digipak.

SERVILE SECT - 'Stratospheric Passenger' CD (Sounds Of Battle & Souvenir Collecting)
"...[a] bizarre, and hauntingly beautiful slab of alien black metal... You can almost picture some mechanical monstrosity, pieces of human flesh, various organs, somehow built into the machine's inner workings, everything grinding and sparking all in a Herculean effort to produce this glorious droning buzzing blackness.... The sound of Servile Sect is epic, and majestic....Fans of the new wave of droned out dreamy metal, black and otherwise: Nadja, Angelic Process, Ameseours, Alcest, etc. will dig this, as will dronelords who like their drones heavy and loud and yeah, a bit metallic... " [Aquarius]. Ltd x 200 copies in a beautiful 6-panel digifile.
Headed by Kvarforth, Shining's fifth recorded depression is no less than a monument of beauty in blackness and ghostly shades. Displaying a mix of sheer heaviness and sublime atmospheric moments, Shining 'V' is truly one of a kind. “The record plays like the soundtrack to a psychological disintegration. Transcending the Black Metal genre with complex arrangements and sample-ridden layering, Shining drive their bleakest peers into a dark corner to shiver until the record ends” (Unrestrained!).

SKITLIV - 'Amfetamin' CD (Cold Spring CSR90CD)

From Black Metal through Funeral Doom and Demonic Noise, Skitliv cover all the bases in modern extreme sonics. The CD version includes bonus tracks from Skitliv's live performance at the Camden Underworld, London, 13th December 2007, with a special intro from CURRENT 93 (David Tibet & Andrew Liles).
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.

SOUVENIR'S YOUNG AMERICA - 'Souvenir's Young America' CD (UndeRadar)
Monstrous instrumental post-metal from Richmond, VA. These songs are heavily layered, masterfully assembled instrumental creations, emotionally moving and majestic like Red Sparowes, filled with dense shoegazer buildups and gorgeous droning electronic swirl, massively heavy prog-rock dirges and sludgy piano-accompanied rock, never descending into boring noodling or overextended jams. The whole album sounds like a soundtrack for a killer lost road-trip movie scored by members of Neurosis and Godspeed You! Black Emperor doing a weird mix of 70's prog and biker rock, and 80's soundtrack metal, but with all sorts of forays into lonesome, dusty country guitar-twang, long droning expanses of floating electronic drones, supremely beautiful and often super-crushing!!!

T.O.M.B. (Total Occultic Mechanical Blasphemy) is a mysterious entity known for crafting the darkest noise recordings with the aid of nothing but field recordings - here were made at Pennsylvania's darkest landmarks including: Bethlehem Steel Works (manufacturer of large calibre guns during WWI and WWII), a 157 year old gothic church destroyed by arson, a 170 year old cemetery, a high school where students were burned alive 30 years ago (and the site of countless suicides since). Through these field recordings, smashing recording rods into massive steel structures and ancient crypt doors, T.O.M.B. reawakens the decaying structures and the agonizing history they hold sealed. The recordings are then crafted into the darkest, heaviest Black Noiseever recorded. "Macabre Noize Royale" is T.O.M.B.'s most diverse album by far. Integrating pure noise with ambience, Industrial and Black Metal. The clear intention is to push the boundaries of Black Noise sound manipulation and continue to shock the listener.

Split release from two US acts: Travis Ryan (Cattle Decapitation, 5/5/2000) and Death By A Thousand Cuts.

Death By A Thousand Cut's nightmarish free electronic designs are conjured from noxious bass sinewaves and cloudy keyboard drones, curling upwards out of metal-on-metal carnage and blasts of laser-beam effects-pedal violence, and the music becomes strangely beautiful, especially with the cosmic Troum-meets-Bastard Noise insectoid frequencies of final track "Approach Of The Black Claw".

The music of Illinois based blacked doom outfit Velnias can be best described as a combination of sorrowful black metal with a very doomy atmosphere, combined with elements of folk.

Combined with lyrical content based upon the premise that the human race is insignificant compared to the grand power and prestige of nature this is a debut album that should not be dismissed!

WOLFMANGLER - 'Dwelling In A Dead Raven For The Glory Of Crucified Wolves' CD (Aurora Borealis)
Wolfmangler is the musical vision of D Smolken, a Polish political émigré, formerly of Dead Raven Choir. His music is slow, grim, noisy, black and shambling; a deconstructed hybrid of twisted folk and hinterland doom metal. Bowed double bass, electric bass and violin merge with sinister growls and whispered lyrics as Wolfmangler improvise dissonant doom riffs around lyrics taken from Hank Williams Jr, Georg Trakl and others, rich with the symbolism of life and decay. Wolfmangler create a listening experience at once unsettling, twisted and darkly beautiful.
Hailing from grim Wisconsin, Wormsblood have honed their craft since 2002 on solstice and eclipse. They create "Blood Sorcery = Progressive Blackened Stenchcore". "In The Stars" is a tumultuous sonic cauldron overflowing with elements of true metal, noise, black metal, field recordings, free folk and eye of newt. Littered with occult references and clearly a work of some intelligence, "In the stars" baffles the listener as it drags them through the bleak Oshkosh woods in a lysergic Wild Hunt: from the ritual / field recording sounds of primitive percussion and the united voices of animal and man that give way to epic riffing and deranged vocals.
