H.E.R.R. - 'Fire And Glass: A Norwood Tragedy' MCD (Cold Spring CSR74EP)
This brilliant new four-track EP from the Anglo-Dutch masters of Neoclassical music relates to the incredible story of the Crystal Palace, an architectural jewel in the heart of Victorian London and itself a tragic metaphor for the rise and fall of the British Empire. Welcome to the Pleasuredome!
H.E.R.R. - 'Vondel's Lucifer - First Movement' CD (Cold Spring CSR69CD)
Taken from the Dutch playwright's 17th century opus, 'Lucifer', this release tells of heavenly discontent amid a jealous tale of angelic rebellion in the face of God's love for humankind. Containing half-sung and spoken vocals, a gentle folk-like melody, baroque composition and rich musical arrangements, this album introduces the first three acts in 75 bombastic minutes. Guest appearances from members of Ostara, While Angels Watch, Belborn and Sagittarius.
H.E.R.R. / DER ARBEITER / STORM OF CAPRICORN / GHOSTS OF BRESLAU - 'Hopes Die In Winter' CD (Beast Of Prey)
Four-way split CD devoted to refugees and victims of indiscriminate dislocation. Beautiful Neofolk / Neoclassical / military pop / dark ambient music from relatively unknown artists at the time of release: H.E.R.R. (NL / UK), Der Arbeiter (CL), Storm Of Capricorn (FR) and Ghosts Of Breslau (PL). Presented in an A5 fold-out package, each group with their own panel. Includes insert with photos and Leon Degrelle citation in two language versions. Polish import. Highly recommended!
H.H.T.P. & PORTABLEPALACE - 'Cavitation' CD (Monochrome Vision)
The interaction between computer science technology and freeform musical creative process becomes a central point in this international collaboration of three artists from Belarus and USA. The abstract soundscapes are obscured by intricate structures, acoustic phenomena and electronic effects, it's going to infinity and never repeat itself. The finest harmony of soundfield is credited to the principles of intuitive simulation, realised through the system of computer-aided instruments. Ltd x 500 copies. Russian import.
Absolutely colossal power electronics - in fact, some of the finest power noise heard in quite some time. Like a cross between Con-Dom and old SPK, Hailstorm’s 'Ink Parasite' is a devastating wall of total pain....wonderful stuff. The flipside sees ARMANEN offering a piece titled, 'Ink Parasite' - this still something along the Grey Wolves line, but with a shriller edge, like totally solid Whitehouse or Sutcliffe Jügend. 1st edition of 500 copies.

HAISHA / MIZUKO - 'Happily Never After' CD (Crucial Blast)
A split full length CD featuring 18 songs of gritty extreme electro-grind from Los Angeles' HAISHA, and 13 songs of oppressive noise/death-industrial from fellow SoCal ensemble MIZUKO...pure nihilistic extremism, not for the faint of heart!
Half Makeshift is the solo project of Pennsylvania's Nathan Michael. L'anse Amort contains four tracks that expand on the density of his debut "Aphotic Leech", creating more space and reflection, more peaks and valleys. The monumental 17 minute opener "Whale Heart" builds from a simple melody and crackling electro-static to eventually collapse under its own weight in a huge Nadja-esque wall of drone riffery, while other tracks are comparable to Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore. "L'anse Amort" is epic in a way most "post-rock" bands can only aspire to. Comes specially packaged in a vertical gatefold with four photographic postcards.
"Heimstatt" ('homestead') is German act Halgadom's fifth album. Beautiful melodies carry the spirit of these nine Neofolk compositions into your consciousness. Listen quietly and dip into Halgadom's homeland, full of charm and their unique style. "Halgadom stands against any uprooting and mass-orientation of man. Against a world of faceless beings that have no past and so no future, too... Spurred by the recollection of our cultural roots, we’d like to show our ancestors and past lineage with Halgadom that the old belief isn’t dead". Digipak.
HALO MANASH - 'Language Of The Red Goats' CD (Aural Hypnox)
'Language of Red Goats' is a complete work in itself, but can also be viewed as the first facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation – three faces of the same being. More akin to a primitive field recording in the realm of oneirotropic exploration, than an actual album, the work consists of one lengthy tripartite soundscape. Utilising only gongs, bells, metal bowls and wind instruments, as well as flocks of birds, the work is in contrast to earlier more refined works that feature a wide multiplicity of instruments and soundsources. 'Language of Red Goats' is a bare, primitive and sometimes raw aural landscape, and yet nonetheless achieves a rare subliminal intensity and an edge of otherwordly luminosity. Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet, in an edition of 920 copies.
Halo Manash's third full-length album offers both minimalistic and complex material mainly created via acoustic instrumentation. The ritualistic / electro-acoustic soundscapes are based on dark and hypnotic sample textures, evolving guitar drones, dynamic ritual-percussions & reverberating gongs/chimes/bells, chanting vocalizations, various windbones / experimental instruments and analogue synthesizers. "All of the material on this album is dedicated to and inspired by the dynamic subconscious force which gave impulse to visions relating to auto-cannibalism and metempsychosis". Comes in an 6 panel cardboard covers with astounding silver-coloured drawings. Ltd x 1000 copies.
A great collection of heathen folk music anthems. "Blood Hymns" started during the Winter Solstice of 2002 and continued during the 12 Nights of Yule. The search for Hyperborea and Thule. The search for the 'Most Northerly Midnight'. These Midnight Sessions began after "A Frost Comes with the Wind" and should be considered the follow-up to that album. Includes a special audio reading of a hymn to the Morning Star by Miguel Serrano and participation with Der Arbeiter.

What’s more, their music also includes found objects of scrap metal, plastic or wood. Their first release on vinyl presents two pieces of multi-layered gong drones, nicely processed for full trance effect and enriched with whistling and rattling sounds and delayed percussion. Above all these sounds, there’s a mighty overtune buzz with heavenly droning contemplation wafts. First edition of 300 copies on red vinyl with silk-screened covers and an inlay.

HATI Vs Z'EV - '#1' CD (Ars Benevola Mater)
A sensational collaboration between HATI & Z'EV, the unique Rythmajick’s master. Here the sound-qabalhist melts some raw audio-material provided by Hati in order to condense approx. 50 minutes of AL-chemical sounds. Hati are a great Polish duo playing inspired psych-ambient soundscapes mixing gongs, metal discs, aluminium bars with wooden pipes, animal horns and trumpets. Well-known percussionist Z'EV edited and treated Hati’s tracks (originally recorded in 2003). His rhythmajickal remix creates structures with a long range of mystical drones. Highly recommended to true experimental magick-percussive industrial music-lovers! Ltd x 950 copies in out-sized package with 2 postcards.
HAVEN - 'A2982' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
"Let us not be deluded by the spells of this sorcerer; because the first sounds overturn time's acknowledged and safe definition and begin constructions of different, weirder spaces. This is the last chance to resign and turn back. Otherwise, when you listen to the end of first track the only thing left to say is "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore". You begin your own, separate (and the longest?) journey. What do you see on your way? What unknown lands, traditions, incomprehensible rituals and dialects will you discover? I don't know. But I am sure that if David Lynch ever undertook the filming of "Alice in the Wonderland" the soundtrack of the movie will be filled with the music from A2982". Experimental / Electro. Digipak.
"Naos" is a more mature release than Polish act Haven's critically acclaimed debut release "The Last Breath Of Lonely Buildings". It is a musical journey between Europe and Asia, oriental atmospheres and raw Dark Ambient, creating visions of the rich history of the Middle East. Digipak with stunning artwork by Michal Karcz.
HEATH YONAITES - 'Rim Of The Sun' CD (Triumvirate)
"Rim of the Sun" is a journey over 4 tracks of abstract, formless, liquid experimental soundscapes that are as engaging as they are confusing. Stopping and starting radio wave glitches over hushed atmospherics demand a certain commitment from the listener to try and understand what Heath Yonaites is trying to ultimately achieve. Voices, which are muffled and distorted, appear then disappear within the blink of an eye whilst a rolling sonic rumbling takes form and abates before renewing itself as something completely different.

Hélice Pied (previously recording under the name NIXILX.NIJILX) is a newcomer from Athens, Greece.

HELMOND - 'Licentia Poetica' CD (Trutzburg Thule)
German act Helmond consists of two artists: Marco M and Sascha B. Their music can best be described as something between neoclassical and dark ambient with a touch of electro. It deals with philosophy, mythology, sorrow and history. Great atmospheres are mixed with pounding drums and sampled speeches. Proud and bombastic orchestral tracks are suddenly possessed by choirs, pianos, nature sounds and martial influences. And these are only some of the ingredients that create Licentia Poetica. Reminds of early A Challenge Of Honour. Recommended!
HENRIK NORDVARGR BJÖRKK - 'I End Forever' Enhanced CD (Horch!)
An experienced and versatile modern Swedish musician, Nordvargr (Toroidh, Folkstorm, MZ.412 etc) now reinvents himself once again with “I End Forever” and places his outstanding composition skills into the new millennium. Gone are the times of aggressive industrial and noise assaults, replaced by his capability as a composer of finest contemporary electronica. Nordvargr now works in an entirely new territory of his musical career and presents an album that blends ambient textures into restless electronics and vice versa. “I End Forever” is a crossbreed of various influences: Modern electronica, digital click ‘n’ glitch manipulation, broken rhythm and beat patterns and soft shifting ambient textures. Enhanced with a video track named "Patterns Emerging". Digipak.

Avant-garde death-electronic label Vital presents it’s first release. As an abstract radio transmission from a hellish toy factory, this nightmare of experimental death electronics is filled with manic rusted toy samples, disturbing natural soundtextures and weird mutating cut-up soundscapes. A chaotic, naïve and childish audio journey through the noisy insane toy factory corridors. Matt digipak with great, disturbing Japanese-inspired mutated doll artwork. Ltd x 500 copies.
Semen is a collaboration between Jakob Nybo (Hentai) and Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Toroidh, Folkstorm). Hentai and Nordvargr ejaculate their audio semen into the cold electric womb, and watch in fear as an unnatural sonic offspring mutates, squirms in agony and slowly comes to life. A unique and extremely disturbing masterpiece of fleshy, cold and perverse avantgarde dark / death electronic soundscape nightmares. Comes in a superb 6-panel digipak with artwork by Salt (Ant-Zen).
HERBST9 - 'From A Dark Chasm Below' CD (Loki Foundation)
The legendary and long deleted debut album from 1999, now finally available again in a carefully remastered version. Complex, textural ambience, consisting of layer upon layer of kinetic, luminous tones and ephemeral nuances of time. Nearly 70 minutes of finest ritual ambient music, mesmerizing rhythmic percussions with deep and sonorous dronings. Herbst9 construct sonic rituals gleaned from the ruins of minds scraped hollow and left to decay while natural sounds and archaic motives develop visionary sequences.
HERBST9 - 'Snake Of Saigon / From Below' 7" (Shortwave Transmission)

HERBST9 Vs Z'EV - 'Through Bleak Landscapes' CD (Loki Foundation)
With this stunning collaboration the dark cavernous drones and ethnic-ritual instrumentation of Herbst9 melts with the complex and percussive sounds of industrial pionier and master of rhythmajik Z'EV. Ten tracks of deep spheres and blazing ruminant lightnings abducting you into golden constellations and swirling worlds full of aural effects and demonic resonance. Both projects worked with raw material of each other while the final mix was made by Herbst9. The result is a sombre and meditative soundtrack. An impressive and gripping journey through bleak landscapes and abandoned places accompanied by a 24-page booklet.
HERMANN KOPP - 'Nekronology – Nekromantik Recordings' CD (Red Stream)
"Nekronology" is a compilation of mournful musical selections from director Jorg Buttgereit's infamous films, “Nekromantik”, “Nekromantik 2”, and “Der Todesking”. The tracks contained on this release were performed by artist Hermann Kopp (please note that these recordings are not the complete soundtracks to those films, only the pieces Kopp himself composed). The idea behind the music was to create a dreary atmosphere through a raw, ritualistic sound. You can hear Kopp's signature violin groans, and moog synthesizer during scenes such as the bathtub suicide, the rabbit being skinned alive, and the necrophilia sequences.

Debut album by Hexperos, the new Gothic / Neoclassical / Chamber project by the soprano Alessandra Santovito (Gothica). Exotic and sensual Mediterranean percussion patterns, together with the low rumble of double bass and the soft keyboard, enriched by violins, set the nocturnal atmosphere for Alessandra’s soaring voice. Instrumentation and arrangements are skillfully mastered to balance grandiose dramatic moments against delicate passages, sparsely colored with a discreet Celtic tone (enhanced with harp).

"Polar Nights Live" documents the historical and astonishing performances from this Japanese Noise duo at All Ears festival in Oslo Norway, January 2006, made all the more significant as the duo rarely perform outside Japan. The duo of Jojo and Junko performed as Hijokaidan on the opening night. On the second evening they were joined by Norwegian guitarist Per Gisle Galåen (DEL, The Birds), unleashing thick layers of psychedelic and distorted guitar fog. The final night saw Junko hooking up with noise-nik Sten Ove Toft (Ryfylke) for a hellish collaboration of twisted electronics and the most intense voice in music. Unlike most other noise acts Hijokaidan has not spoiled their fans with a huge number of releases, which makes "Polar Nights Live" an even more unique statement of pure noise sound. Presented in a digifile.
In this release the use of electronics is especially wholesome and not used as a mere backdrop. This album has moments of sheer splendour and is more than just an enjoyable excursion of hard electronics. An endless stream of resonating frequencies, swinging from higher harmonics to lower pitches, reflective but totally alien music. A cohesive and enjoyable collection of explicit sadist episodes expressing Industrial talent with lasting potential. A great album in all, with a variety of sounds.
