K2 - 'In The Monotonous Flowers' CD (Ground Fault Recordings)
The master of Junk Metal noise offers a completely different experiment with this release. There is no outright sonic assault, no continuous crash of metal- on-metal within "In the Monotonous Flowers." This release showcases K2's approach to cut-ups and sound collage. This is a quieter (at times), more constructed look at sound using a variety of sources, from lo-fi to crisp and loud, from effected music and found sound, to confused conversation. Series II ('medium') in the Ground Fault series.

KALLABRIS - 'Hund Vor Die Tur' LP (Entr'Acte / Jazztone)
Kallabris is the 'electro-acoustic chamber music' project of German sound artist Michael Anacker, active since 1986. "Hund Vor Die Tür" focuses on "the significance of dogs", but his main interest is a reflection on the electro-mechanical conditions of sound recording presented in everyday recording devices such as home computers, dictaphones and answering machines... he is not interested in the limits of musical styles but in the limitations of sound (re)production. "...a vocoder voice that recites some lines every now and then... is embedded in a warm bath of computerized drones... plucked acoustic guitar and even a hot steamy rhythm... a great record of a mythical band with great sound, hovering the experiment and the pop notion of folktronics."

Kaniba's Dark Ambient Presence will absorb and shroud the listener into a reverie... a blanket of fog and mist. Thematically, The Serpent is of the earth and Shub-Niggurath; the womb of all, the grave of all. Life and death, creation and destruction, the alpha and the omega. The Serpent represents the return to the source from whence Kaniba came, as Terrorgoat, and a reflection upon the journey from that moment to what is now. Most of all, The Serpent is the end.

KAPOTTE MUZIEK / LICHT-UNG - 'Split' 10" (Punk Kein Rock)
Second in the split 10” series released by the German sound project Licht-Ung (on their own label Punk Kein Rock). Kapotte Muziek's side is a nice mixture of both quite, and noisy sounds - groans, crackles, clicks and silences. Quite obscure. While Licht-Ung's side (recorded under the guide of Seymour) is heavy droning tones, pure feedback and microphone noises. Very nice piece.

KARJALAN SISSIT - 'Tanssit On Loppu Nyt' CD (Cyclic Law)
Fourth full-length album from one of Sweden's most respected Martial / Industrial acts. Quoted from Markus Pesonen himself "This is my personal W.A.R. against everything that reveals my hate! You are the enemy! "... so you can expect a logical follow up to his last album where Anti socialism, Bitterness, Alcoholism and his Finnish roots are still at the centre stage of his purpose and where harsh industrial passages, aggressive vocal lines and soft ambient textures collide with intense bombastic outbursts. The album was again exquisitely produced by Peter Bjärgö (Arcana, Sophia) at Erebus Odora. Limited to 1000 copies in an outsized textured cover. A stunning release!
KARNA - 'The Haunted (Age Of Destruction) CD (Eternal Pride)
"Not everyone follows the Blood Path... not everyone returns from the Coma... almost nobody comes out alive from the Industrial Zones of the Darkness... to the portal, leading to the Temple of the Dead God... whose altars are for the cultivating of Flesh... ...and the Harvest will approach for everyone...". Cold, post-industrial pulsations, freezing black ambient passages and explosive military rhythms from this Russian act. "Musical shapes mimic and hide in secret spheres, their power destroying the illusion of reality, moving the listener out of their boundaries, as it befits the true Black Art."

KARNA - 'Voron / Raven' CD (Eternal Pride)
As the lead transforms alchemically into gold, the gloomy dark Cold Wave of the older Karna has transformed into the unique Blackened Ambient Music. It's a symbolic hymn to Solitude, Emptiness and Total Dark. The monotonous and hypnotic guitar passages react with the cold Ambient fragments. Seven dead coal-black raven feathers reflecting the dark mentality of one more soul which disappeared in the Dark. Russian import.
"...Hamre's work has an ambience that always feels nautical. There is ever a sense of vast, oceanic space... [he] takes a minimalist approach to his typically lush (albeit delightfully creepy) soundscapes. The result reminds of works such as "Biosphere", with bits of Lustmord and K.K. Null thrown in for both ominous rhythm and outer darkness" [Lunar Hypnosis]. Vlad Jecan manages to combine distorted sonorities with profound calmness. Cosmic images placed in front of your eyes reflect the grey emotions lurking inside yourself. The music of an emotional paradox, depressing yet mirthful, distorted yet calm.

KASPER VAN HOEK - 'Minerva - Special Edition' LP (KVH)
Private release from Kasper Van Hoek, made for his final exam at the Groningen art academy, Minerva. "..Van Hoek uses old cassette players, turntables, speakers, microphones, mixers and in the studio the computer, using field recordings as their source, but also feedback generated sound... 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]. This is the special edition of 100 hand-numbered copies (No's 1-100 of the 300 total pressing) with hand-printed covers, each with uniquely-coloured artwork. Very collectable piece!

Also included here are the tracks from the limited 7" (first 200 copies) accompanying that LP.

KAYNO YESNO SLONCE - 'Xae-Ue' CD (Corvus)
Inspired by Nature comes the dark ambient project of Veselin Mitov. "Slow layers of synths as a background, Bulgarian bagpipes that make your soul soar, and Eastern Orthodox Church choirs drown you in a deep sorrow. In ancient Bulgarian language Kayno Yesno Slonce means "like a bright shining sun". It’s more like a connection between our past and the times we live - we lack the taste of Nature, we forgot the happy feeling of freedom, the bitterness of sorrow… The music in the album brings the sense of inevitable tragedy and the yearning for freedom. It’s mourning or a prayer." Regular edition.
"Gloomy and grim dark ambient / industrial from this well-known Japanese cyberpunk artist. Monotonous sound manipulations are very harrowing but with innovative elements in each song. Last track is special collaboration between Kenji Siratori and Swedish Anders Peterson from Objekt 4. For fans primordial industrial in the vein early Cold Meat Industry releases..."

From the darkest and coldest heart of Sweden comes the trio known as Keplers Odd (headed by Daniel Jansson of Deadwood). Seven tracks of noisy, yet subtly ambient guitar-driven sonic attacks, eerily redolent of the icy cold mysterious aurora-wrapped landscapes prevalent throughout Northern Europe, inhabited by creatures and monsters spawned from the myths and legends told around campfires over countless generations. Keplers Odd create textures, ambience and noise. But there is also quiet subtlety, sinister atmospherics and dark occult moods. Digipak. Ltd x 1000.

KEVIN DRUMM - 'Imperial Distortion' 2 x CD (Hospital Productions)
What does a person do when faced with a work like Imperial Distortion? There are rare moments in an artist’s work where they reveal a greater truth. Beauty as an aesthetic can be as terrifying as horror, desire unfulfilled, romance that lingers and never goes away no matter how disappointing. A preoccupation with death can be the only result. On this extended long form release Kevin Drumm comes face to face with minimal drone music and confronts the genre by providing one of its absolute pinnacles at the forefront; movement. Drone music at its most concentrated and ably performed has build and depth in its tones. Kevin Drumm has accomplished a rare balance to create a masterwork that no one has yet to come close to in this era. Your best bet is to surrender.

KHVARENA - 'The Spirit Rises' CD (Projekt)
Khvarena is a journey across time and countries, into the ethno-ambient / heavenly voices realm from which spirits will arise. A striking encounter between Italian maestro Francesco Banchini (Ataraxia / Gor) and France's Jeanne & Fabrice Lefebvre (Rajna). The first steps of a journey from the European continent to the countries of the Middle East: lush and majestic at times, ritual and devotional at others, and sometimes festive and cathartic. A myriad of ethnic instruments accompany the intertwined vocals of Jeanne and Francescot. This is music of brightness, color and emotion with rapturous Arabic overtones. This 1st edition is released in a hand-numbered edition of 1000 copies presented in a recycled DVD Digipak.
The first EP by the Belgian depressive black metallers! Three killer songs - a conceptual piece of art featuring a new ten minute opus, and two re-recorded demo tracks, with a cleansed line-up and an improved sound. In 25 minutes, 'Absence' takes you into three different dimensions of complete melancholic and misanthropic emptiness. A devastating sound with one message: "The world's true beauty lies within the darkness of our absence."
KIM CASCONE / KOTRA / ANDREAS BERTHLING / ANDREY KIRITCHENKO - 'Fourfold Symmetry' CD (Nexsound)
The album is based upon the very questionable in itself creative concept of co-authorship, which is implemented through the sound exchange via regular and electronic mail: musicians play with each other’s samples striving to carve out the new unpredictable sounding. This music is interesting by its nature: despite the initial sources similarity the outcome is always highly individual and bears the personal impress of each musician in each track. Fourfold Symmetry finds its creative concept in the sound collaging process - the more electronic and machine-made their music is, the more humane and organic it sounds. Comes with stunning artwork.

Epic Australian Black Metal from the dark underground of Sydney "On The Path..." was issued 3 years after it was recorded. Heavily inspired by Austrian act Summoning, and using medieval sounds, Dani (Goatowarex) stated "it could be a lost demo from the 'Minas Morgul' period".
"Babel" is an extremely dynamic and dense work that could generally be classified as experimental dark ambient. The theme here is the Tower of Babel and each disc takes a somewhat different yet complimentary approach: the first ("Red Babylon") is generally a rather heavy and intense recording, while the second ("Citadel of the Nevermind") is more droney and dream-like. A profound and monumental journey lasting well over two hours. Ltd x 500 copies in a special printed gatefold wallet.
