L'ACEPHALE - 'Malefeasance' 2 x LP (Aurora Borealis)
"Malefeasance" is a lengthy and complex affair that further explores L'Acephale's fascinations and strikes headlong into the darkest of musical vistas. The journey this time is perhaps even more academic than the debut "Mord Und Totsclag": further ethnographic audio elements are now present, more spacious passages, a deeper approach. A mix of ambient, warping tones, black metal, chanting, ethereal keyboards, drones, acoustic guitars, noise, field recordings and Tibetan ritual music. The last two tracks best show the nature of Set Sothis' collaborations with Markus Wolff (Waldteufel, Crash Worship), sharing some of his vocal and percussive styles. By no means do L'Acephale make music for the casual listener. In many ways they transcend the preconceived ideas of what may be expected: L'Acephale are most successful at operating beyond the constraints of genre altogether, and 'Malefeasance', with its dark, dreamlike and harrowing atmospheres, is their testament. Ltd x 500 copies on heavyweight vinyl in a matt sleeve with A1 poster and booklet.

L'EFFET C'EST MOI - 'Genius Loci' CD (SkullLine)
In classical Roman religion a genius loci was the protective spirit of a place. The concept was regarded as something supernatural linked to a place or object of worship. Over time the meaning has changed, for genius loci refers to the cultural significance and then the emotional, which is attributed to a site, for an area or city, usually refers to a location's distinctive atmosphere, or a "spirit of place", rather than necessarily a guardian spirit. It is therefore an expression of "character" of a place, its characteristics interwoven with the habits and customs of the people who live there. In this case assumes the role of genius loci which takes time to establish contact with our ancestors. The CD presents an introspective journey through martial ambient and ritualistic epic sounds, to reflect and find a contact between man and the protection of the place.

LASSE MARHAUG & MARK WASTELL - 'Kiss Of Acid' CD (Monotype Records)
In recent years Lasse Marhaug has almost become synonymous with Scandinavian Noise. From his camp in Trondhem, Norway, he's been launching release after release with brutal noise both under his real name and with groups such as DEL and parts of the Origami Republika projects. London-based sound artist and composer Mark Wastell builds enormous atmospheres on the Tam Tam (here recorded at an abandoned school in Norfolk) with very little actual movement. Wastell's music is dark, deep and beautiful. Slow movements build up sonic pulses that are able to take over rooms and buildings. Together the duo have created over 40 minutes of drone / dark ambient. Gatefold ecopak.

LAUDANUM - 'The Coronation' CD (20 Buck Spin)
Judd and Becky Hawk are joined by Greg Wilkinson (Brainoil, Pig Heart Transplant, Earhammer Studios) and Nathan Misterek (Graves At Sea). On "The Coronation", the two elements that make up the current Laudanum sound - punishing, bruised sludge doom and bleak industrial noise experiments - are fused ever more tightly together into a cohesive soundtrack for the slow collapse of modern life and culture. The intense low frequency pummel of Wilkinson’s bass rumble is itself an apparent cause for some of this collapse, such is its massive earth-shaking power. Becky’s crushing drum beats rival Dale Crover in sheer intensity and brute force. Judd’s repetitive stone slab riffs carrying the weight of the world, and Misterek’s vocals, colliding with Becky’s, coating the whole thing with the mournful, evil magick of life’s coming oppression.

This is the first solo album in a decade by this French artist (member of Zonk’t / Nox and label manager of Odd Size). ‘Downfall’ is a single track which develops ultra slowly, with very low, organic rumbling and hypnotic bass. The composition seems minimalistic but yet complex, absorbing and disintegrating, cold yet organic. ‘Disperse’ is also a singular track, but is more in the vein of concrete electro-acoustic music. Inspired by the compositions of Steve Reich, loops are copied, layered and moved around, so that the listener is under the permanent impression of growing turbulence and spatial buzzing.

LE REVERS SANGLANT - 'Un Combat Perdu D'Avance' CD (Twilight Records)
The winter of 2004 marked the birth of the Le Revers Sanglant. The initial goal of the project was to create a minimalist audio concept with cold and martial atmospheres. During the Fall of 2010 the music and concept had begun to take on a more aggressive sound. The realisation of this new focus is attributed to 'Un Combat Perdu d'Avance', representing feelings of uprising and melancholy. Taking the subject of war as backdrop, we can find an ubiquitous death for those young soldiers. Fate wins. Taken into battle, whatever happens, they won't have to miss courage to face up their destiny.

Pure, primitive, cult, home recorded evil! Two discs, 22 tracks, 143 minutes of buzzing, howling, pummelling black metal. Think Burzum, Darkthrone, Immortal, but with all sorts of weird twists and sonic surprises. Sure, Leviathan is grimmer than grim metal that the frost and forest lords of Norway should bow down to, but it's also pure expression unfettered by genre restraints, although informed and inspired by them. Unique and category-defying black metal... dark, weird, noisy, disturbing art embodying one man's twisted vision. Original, evil, hateful, misanthropic, bizarre and truly black metal. "Verräter", the first official Leviathan release, contains tracks dating back to 1998 with the first disc representing more recently recorded tracks, while disc two contains the older, rawer material. "Verräter" is beyond just black metal, it's a collection of utterly brutal, truly innovative, and completely soul crushing musical blackness.

LIONEL MARCHETTI - 'Une Saison' 2 x CD (Monotype Records)
Musique Concrete / Experimental music by French composer Lionel Marchetti. Features field recordings made at several glaciers in the the French Alps along with male/female vocals, synthesizer and clarinet. The characteristics of numerous compositions by Lionel Marchetti, including those featured in this collection, are fullness and perfection, a design both obscure and transparent at the same time, so typical of a classic work. Ecopak with 16 page booklet containing text by Michel Chion on Marchetti's music.
Duality is at once sacred and playful. It is both dark and light, organic and refined, masculine and feminine. Dead Can Dance's Lisa Gerrard partners with Pieter Bourke, formerly of Aussie band Eden, to create this compositional dance of partnership that is classical, ancient, and thoroughly modern. Gerrard's voice is multi-tracked at times, conjuring a cathedral choir and the droning chants of monks. Drums and synth snake from desert to brilliant stormy sky to shaking earth and the bodies that inhabit those spaces. There are lush multiple layers of strings, bagpipe drone, and, quite literally, the laughter of children. The vocals sans "real" words and multicultural instrumentation will be familiar to Dead Can Dance listeners. Yet there is something more exclusive, more womb-like about the music of Bourke and Gerrard; rather than two distinct bodies making music, like mother and in utero child sharing blood and breath, they are mutually dependent.

LOCRIAN - 'Drenched Lands' CD (At War With False Noise / Small Doses)
First full-length studio album from one of the most consistently good bands around today, Chicago's Locrian. "Drenched Lands" is a beautifully thought-out piece of music, from a gentle guitar strum / synth opening which cuts out abruptly just as you're becoming entirely engrossed, only to give way to an epic cavernous drone. The whole thing brings to mind some sort of disused industrial factory or barren post-apocalyptic landscape. Dark tones, noise, keys and the odd well-placed guitar strum combine brilliantly to evoke feeling of desolation, loss, a submission of will, almost tangential in sound to Earth's "Hex" album. Ltd x 1000 copies in a Stumptown 'Arigato' pack (pro-printed, high-quality card envelope) with 4-page insert.
For the past four years, Chicago's Locrian have been recording their unique and haunting brand of experimental music. Their first LP "Greyfield Shrines", was recorded live on WHPK in late 2007. The music is dense and enveloping, with mysterious drones and arcane melodies flowing throughout the ominous work. The piece climaxes on the B side as the modulated feedback surges. This release will surely appeal to a wide range of listeners, from industrial, drone, and experimental, to adventurous fans of drone & doom metal. Ltd x 300 copies on grey marbled vinyl. Housed in a printed letterpress cover. Stunning piece!

LOCRIAN - 'Rain Of Ashes' CD (Basses Frequencies)
"Essentially a single, hour long track split into two parts, Rain of Ashes brings in even more elements to the duo’s normally guitar/electronic sourced metal tinged drone/doom. The introduction’s shimmering guitar feedback over a simple electronic bed is not far removed from the band’s earlier works, but the building complexity of guitar tone is extremely dynamic, alternating between melodic post-punk tones and shrill piercing feedback, all the while the frozen wall of electronic textures stay in place. Eventually the noise shifts away to allow the subtle low end electronic sounds to move forward." (Brainwashed). Ltd x 400 copies with obi strip.

LOCRIAN - 'Territories' CD (BloodLust! / Small Doses)
André Foisy and Terence Hannum have spent the last several years honing the Locrian sound. They've taken elements from noise, power electronics, drone, and black metal to come up with a truly unique sound reflecting the sprawling urban decay surrounding them in Chicago. For this release, Locrian has pulled out all the stops and fleshed out the band with the help of Mark Solotroff (Bloodyminded), Blake Judd (Nachtmystium), Bruce Lamont (Yakuza) and Andrew Scherer (Velnias). The results of this massive collaborative effort are apparent from the moment the album starts. The textures run darker and deeper; the vocals - sometimes three layers deep - seem to be conjured from the decrepit muck of a failed civilisation; the feedback takes on a more pronounced presence; and the big band allows for full-on black metal assaults that burst out of the tortured drones Locrian have come to be known for. "Territories" may well be the most fully realised form of Locrian's dystopic vision. Digipak.

LOCRIAN - 'The Crystal World' 2 x CD (Utech Records)
Locrian's third studio album, "The Crystal World", is an epic journey. Inspired by JG Ballard’s 1964 novel of the same name that tells the story of a physician who specialises in leprosy sent to a remote African outpost to discover a jungle that is slowly crystallizing and encroaching upon everything it touches. Terence Hannum, and André Foisy are joined by Steven Hess (On, Pan American, Ural Umbo), whose contribution pushes Locrian deeper into the abyss of despair rendering a sound that is darker, bleaker, and engulfing than any of the group’s previous releases. Locrian continue the conceptual trajectory of blackened drone, manipulating tones and textures that transport the listener to an apocalyptic wasteland. At times, the layers are serene and somber, at other times they are chaotic. Ltd x 1000 copies in a Stoughton gatefold sleeve with outstanding art by Vberkvlt.
LONGING FOR DAWN - 'A Treacherous Ascension' CD (Grau)
Canadians Longing For Dawn, formed in 2002 by Stefan Laroche and Frederic Arbour (Cyclic Law boss), play heavy, atmospheric, Doom laden Metal. "A Treacherous Ascension" is a wretched, dismal doom album that drips into the abyss at a mournfully slow pace. One of the best acts in the funeral doom movement.
LONGING FOR DAWN - 'Between Elation And Despair' CD (Grau)
Third album of crawling, transcendental, utterly morbid and depressive doom from this excellent Canadian band - Stefan Laroche and Frédéric Arbour (Cyclic Law boss). "...one of those albums you can lose yourself in ...The music is thoroughly morose and depressive, though not on an even remotely whiny sense, and never allows the listener any respite... an album for funeral doom purists to enjoy... this is a band that deserves kudos for the integrity of their approach and the quality of their work." (Chronicles Of Chaos).
LORDAMOR - 'Lordamor' CD (Descending Towards Damnation)
From the beginning in 2006, this Finnish band's goal was to create primitive, slow and oppressive music with small partitions of calmer and more melodic passages to enchant the effect of otherwise crude atmospheres. Excruciatingly slow black / doom metal in the vein of Unholy, Worship, Thergothon and Beherit with lyrical themes involving man's dark shadow-nature, decay and death. The black Demiurge has taken its grip from the soul of man, and there's no way to overcome it. Over an hour of bleak, nightmarish soundscapes.

It’s also hints of modernism like the masters Stravinsky, Francis Poulenc and Arthur Honegger. Yet with their own style and touch of course. The biggest inspiration for the album is nature.

LOVAC - 'Apes Of A Cold God CD (Soleilmoon)
Swedish folk / industrialists Lovac is a new band with old roots, having already released a full-length CD of Death in June covers on Douglas P.'s NERUS label under the name Down in June. With a distinctive "totenpop" vision they re-invented the songs to the delight of both Death In June fans and music journalists who discovered the treasure of Douglas P. songs anew. Lovac’s music evokes a night-of-the-world mood that deftly calls down the nostalgia of romanticism and overlays it with a war machine blowing a cold breeze of death into the dawn. Lovac is part of a larger movement of modern European pop music that draws inspiration from traditional folk music and brings it to new life in a fertile clash with the contemporary minimalistic industrial scene. Combining this music with text fragments from Karl Marx, Antonin Artaud and Percy Bysshe Shelley, “Apes of a Cold God” invites the listener to take a deep look into the abysmal underside of civilization. Lavishly printed mini-LP style sleeve with gold foil blocking and an eight page booklet.
The first solo album from LR (Loke Rahbek). "Exile" has something to offer, some amount of truth to it that has not been found to the same degree in any of his previous works. Stretching the recordings for “Exile” to almost two years of work puts it on a different level of importance. Fragile synth compositions, heavy drones and piercing vocals leave an eerie album of sincere industrial. 8 tracks all based on the poem of the same title, written by the Jewish German writer H. Sahl during his life in exile. One piece for each line of the poem and one for the title. Ltd x 250 copies.

LULL & BETA CLOUD & ANDREW LILES - 'Circadian Rhythm Disturbance Reconfigured' CD (Cold Spring CSR139CD)
From England to the United States and back again... it all started as a simple drone project between LULL (aka Mick Harris of Scorn, ex-Napalm Death) and BETA CLOUD (aka Carl Pace), based on the concept of how insomnia can effect your thought patterns. Billows of powerful bass drones set to indistinct flourishes of temporary insanity. The original track is there, but also included is a fierce remix track by legendary sound artist Andrew Liles (NURSE WITH WOUND). Fans of Lull and Beta Cloud will really sink their teeth into this one; what Liles has created here is not a simple remix but a raging, deconstruction as only he can do. Originally released as a limited 3" CD in 2008, now proudly presented in a deluxe digipak edition with stunning new artwork. A captivating listen for dark ambient and harsh noise fans alike.

Where Scorn can be the horrific equivalent of a musical Freddy Krueger - getting in your face to tell you how badly he's gonna mess you up - Lull's approach is more subtle and seductive, soothing your nerves before slitting your throat while you sleep" (All Music Guide).

LUPERCI - 'The Holy Mountain' 12" (Monolithic Document)
Luperci is a drone based noise project from Albuquerque, New Mexico. 'The Holy Mountain' is an epic and introspective piece that oscillates between quiet, hypnotic drone and trance inducing, crushing wall of sound. 'The Holy Mountain' is about the human drive towards enlightenment and is largely influenced by the path of the Aghori Sadhus - a sect of Hindu ascetics who believe everything is sacred and nothing is profane. As part of their spiritual journey, they live alone in cremation grounds, carry a begging bowl made from a human skull, and wear cremation ashes.The extreme nature of their practice and their intense desire for the union with the divine was a major point of inspiration for the album. Each sleeve was printed by Luperci's Joseph Angelo and includes an insert. This vinyl-only release is a hand numbered, limited edition of 100 copies only. ACT FAST!

It was the first Lustmord album to feature extensive sampling and computer assisted sound design.

LAW, the creative vehicle in which Mitchell Altum employs his experimental endeavours, has a niche fusion, in terms of technique, between Noise Ambient and Power Electronics - both of which usually sit on opposite sides of the fence, having it's own set of rules to play out. ‘Our Life…” has an open-ended but "governed" approach, whereby the already established rules of Noise Ambient and Power Electronics are reversed, meshed and re-constructed through the use of a regimentally structured, but eclectic mode of assembly.
