N /5/ - 'Bergen Skizzen & Notizen' LP (Consouling Sounds)
On this LP Hellmut Neidhardt (Multer) works together with Mirko Uhlig, Segment and Fear Falls Burning. Ranging from calm and silent atmospheres to pulsating rhythms and dark, up-building soundscapes, finally closing with deep, warm space. The only source used is the original material of the 'Bergen' 2LP, except the additional guitar work of Dirk Serries / FFB. Limited to 220 copies on 180 gram vinyl in a heavy cardboard sleeve with full-colour print.
Two titans of doom / guitar drone collaborate together. The result is heartstopping, taking a similar path to Jesu. Massive guitars, mountainous bass, tribal drums, choral vocals. Sublime - essential. Ltd x 750 copies in a black with silver-print sleeve on heavyweight vinyl. One side is good old-fashioned 'acid etched'. ACT FAST!

NADJA & GALENA - 'Konstruktion' LP (Adagio830)
Having long established themselves as pioneers in the heavy drone and dark ambient scene, Nadja, now based in Berlin, continue pushing things forward with Konstruktion. Nadja's unique thumbprint shines strong mostly on the B side of this album, punishing guitar that scratches the listener's itch for heavy, churning and an engulfing sonic experience. Galena adds subtle synth and sustaining guitar lines that brew to boil just below Nadja's set threshold. Working in a similar and cohesive manner, Galena slowly stirs the pot with dark menacing synth layers, tape treatments and creeping washed out guitar. The A-Side shows Galena's strengths more prominent but again, welcoming subtle and tasteful additions by their collaborators. A wonderful example of 2 like-minded duos joining forces to express their own unique styles and creating something new and fresh out of the mist. Comes with download card.

NADJA - 'Corrasion' 2 x LP (Basses Frequences)
The long overdue vinyl treatment of one of Nadja's finest full-length recordings (originally released as an extremely limited edition in 2003, then expanded and re-recorded for CD in 2007). "Corrasion" has Nadja in full doom mode; it is an extraordinary mix of slow, heavy, and layered post-rock guitar riffs and the ultra-dense-yet-melodic-drones that have become Nadja's trademark. "Corrasion" has been re-mastered for the vinyl release and includes an exclusive, extended version of the title track as well as the outstanding 'Numb' to expand on the 2007 CD release. Ltd x 400 copies on 180g black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.
"Desire In Uneasiness" is an album of all new material from acclaimed Canadian dreamsludge weavers Nadja. Five colossal jams of eternally-fuzzy, ethereal dirge that are powered by the interlocking bass guitars of Leah Buckareff and Aidan Baker, who set loose a wave of monstrous grinding bass riffs amidst a fog of beautiful, swirling electronic effects. "Desire..." also marks the first Nadja album to feature a live drummer in place of the drum machine programming that has driven the band's previous recordings, and the difference in the band's sound is apparent from the first crushing beats of album opener 'Disambiguation'. Hardback digifile.
NADJA - 'Skin Turns To Glass' CD (The End Records)
CD reissue of the very limited release on NOTHingness Records (2003). Nadja creates music that has been variously described as drone metal, ambient doom, and shoegazer, incorporating influences from such diverse artists as Swans, Godflesh, Jesu, Sunn O))), Earth, OM and My Bloody Valentine. Nadja combines soundscapes, electronics and atmospheric vocals with snail-crawl, epic riffs and dirge-like percussion, tempering the cacophany with a certain ethereal melodicism such that the listener is enveloped in a sublimating wall of amorphous sound.

Toronto ambient / shoegaze / drone duo Nadja (Aidan Baker / Leah Buckareff) illustrate their diverse roots by covering some of their favorite artists: My Bloody Valentine, Codeine, Swans, Slayer, A-Ha, Elliott Smith, Kids In The Hall and The Cure. "... more than a simple tribute album. It's one of the best Baker byproducts in years" (Pitchfork). "Nadja carve out great slabs of sound, throbbing and trudging to melodic resolution with incredible slowness, over an entire side of vinyl at a time; you want to say “tectonic” and “chthonian” but not “glacial” because the fuzz-bass is so warm, rising through your feet, and the layered drones are so disorienting" (Drowned In Sound).

NADJA / BLACK BONED ANGEL - 'S/T' CD (20 Buck Spin)
A monumental cross-continental collaboration between Canada's prolific neo-doom duo Nadja and New Zealand's pitch black droners Black Boned Angel. The two 20+ minutes tracks contained on this self-titled collaboration have a less accessible vibe then the Jesu-like track on last year's 'Christ Send Light' EP. There are no vocals to be heard. They are comprised in equal parts of Nadja's fuzzed-out, lurching and hazy dream-doom, and BBA's razor-sharp metallic riff-shards. Extended passages of riff-static noise bleeds one track into the next while deep space eerieness looms ever present in the shadows. Finally the whole thing collapses under the weight of its own self-created black hole. This is the end. Digipak.
NADJA / TROUM - 'Dominium Visurgis' CD (Transgredient)

These three long collaboration tracks were recorded as a result of a spontaneous improvisation in April 2008 "live in the studio" near the Weser-river in Bremen, Germany, and suck you in with their powerful and emotional drone melancholy that works in many micro and macrocosmic ways, using electric and acoustic guitars, bass, accordion, drum-machine and voice.

NEKRASOV - 'Extinction' CD (Crucial Blast)
Riding atop the recent wave of black metal / noise hybrids that combine the bleak, frosty riffs and blackened ferocity of underground metal with blown-out, corrosive strains of industrial noise, the Australian one-man act Nekrasov has made a substantial mark in the realm of the extreme underground. An octagonal prism of isolationist drone, flesh-rending black metal, otherworldly beauty, claustrophobic industrial and violent, suffocating strains of harsh noise, "Extinction" is pure, cyclonic contempt for humanity. The album is loaded with blasting, inhuman drumming and ferocious riffing that form noise-drenched trance-scapes, but the subtle attention to texture elevates this above typical mechanized black metal projects. Immersing the listener in layers of electronic sound and using creative stereo panning techniques and other production tricks, Nekrasov creates a harsh, alien atmosphere.

Recorded across four years and two full discs, his eponymous opus occupies the hitherto hidden space between David Tibet and Will Cullen Hart, lubing up fractured acoustic pop with a slippery fistful of fizzy ambience and electronic squawks...

Within the caves and ruins left by the destruction, there begins to form the first foundations and structures of a reconstruction that is in turn in constant evolution. The album's tracks are structurally organised in order to evoke that evolution. Filled with NRT's now trademark sound of deep cavernous drones, processed voices and percussive moments, this album features exclusive remixes by Nordvargr and Northaunt. Ltd x 1000 copies in a special A5 folder with a video clip for the track 'New Risen Throne (I)'.

NICK CASTRO & THE POISON TREE - 'Further From Grace' CD (Strange Attractors Audio House)
"Further From Grace" bewitches with an intoxicating mood sustained throughout. The instrumentation is lush and exotic - flugelhorn, lap dulcimer and mijwiz are deftly melded into a pan-cultural elixir comprised of American and British folk traditions, classical balladry and Middle Eastern. Masterful songwriting, ornamented by Castro's ardent vocals and dreamlike lyrics, are relieved by hypnotic instrumental passages. Induced by flourishes of psychedelic 60's folk bards like Tom Rapp (Pearls Before Swine) and Bert Jansch, laced with flashes of Amon Düül-like acoustic communal atmosphere, "Further From Grace" is an acid-folk masterpiece advancing today's sound into sparkling new frontiers.
NICK CASTRO & THE YOUNG ELDERS - 'Come Into Our House' CD (Strange Attractors Audio House)
Gracefully immersing 60's/70's UK acid balladry with Middle eastern traditional music and communal jams, Castro succeeds in reaching otherworldly vistas and ocean-spanning folk transcendence. The Young Elders is a truly stellar cast of musicians who played in folk and avantrock ensembles like Current 93 (Joolie Wood), In Gowan Ring (B'Eirth), Cul De Sac and Damo Suzuki's Network. A mixture of folk ballads, psychedelic folk rock, Middle eastern traditional music and Neofolk. The result being astonishing, challenging and utterly psychedelic. A modern Acid Folk masterpiece! Beautifully presented in a 6-panel digipak with gold print.

NIKO SKORPIO - 'Delta Amoeba' MCD (Some Place Else)
"A review I was reading described this as 'sick-hop' and that tag seems to fit. This is not trip-hop or pop music... but it is a relative. Delta Amoeba has the sonic experimentation and aesthetic of an underground noise album but somehow channels recent 'electronica' without compromise. Imagine if trip-hop star Tricky gave up the reefer, moved to Finland, and got depressed and lost his mind... and you'll be on the right path." (Black Box Radio). 3 tracks, slimline jewelcase.

NIKO SKORPIO - 'Escape From Heaven' CD (Some Place Else)
Composed between 2000-2005, the musick could be described as 'industrial', mostly because it pays homage to the early Industrial groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Coil or Psychic TV by being a wide-ranged beast of experimentation including some nice deep dark ambient soundscapes. Escape from Heaven also carries a loose storyline that can be interpreted in occult, mythological, social and personal levels. Basically the album is a Manifesto of personal Liberation and a declaration of war against all forces of boredom and stagnation.

NIKO SKORPIO - 'Half Born In Half Light' CD (Some Place Else)
"Half Born in Half Light" is based on the foundations of psychedelic ambient soundscapes and darkly majestic bass drone, over which tribal rhythms and magickal vocal invocations build grotesque alien monoliths, whose angles mock the euclidean mathematics of conventional composition. Niko Skorpio is not restricted to one particular genre, but draws on many sources. This makes the music colourful and diverse, yet it remains coherent and has the artist�s unique fingerprints all over (this time literally in the cover as well). Standard PVC sleeve with 12-page booklet.
NIKO SKORPIO - 'Psilocybe Necrophila' CD (Some Place Else)
"Psilocybe Necrophila" refers to a psychoactive mushroom that grows on decomposing flesh. Although recorded mostly in 2007, parallel to last year's acclaimed "Half Born in Half Light", it is quite a different trip. The basis of this work was Niko Skorpio's old cassette tape collection from the 1980's. Containing mostly heavy metal demos and live bootlegs, the dozens of KMs of obsolete tape were sacrificed on the altar of creation. Tape was deconstructed, cut, mangled, eaten and torn apart by a number of malfunctioning cassette players. These emerging mutations were captured, processed and reconstructed, over and over until a new form began to take shape. Carefully chosen and prepared additional ingredients were then introduced to this primal tissue in order to impregnate it with a new kind of energy.

Nimh (Giuseppe Verticchio) returns with 'Krungthep Archives', rediscovering the sounds of his oriental ethnic instruments, collected in the Far-East, mainly in Thailand. The recordings of these 'Archives From Bangkok' (the 'City of Angels' or 'Krungthep' in the local idiom) are often submerged with electronic sounds, drones, voices, urban noises, field-recordings, loops, rhythmic fragments, lively and dynamically reaching sound waves. Otherwise, traditional instruments and natural sounds emerge, giving life to suggestive and catchy semi-acoustic soundscapes.

NIMH - 'Travel Diary' CD (Silentes Minimal Editions)
Finally collected on a single CD, and released in a completely re-edited and re-mastered version, enriched with new sounds and parts, Silentes present all the music created by Giuseppe Verticchio / Nimh during 2001 / 2002 using ethnic instruments only, in a totally 'unconventional' way, with the addiction of treated / processed field recordings. A real challenge beyond every stylistic and 'geographical' borders; an original and evocative dark-shaded ethnic-electronic-ritual music, born from the 'voice' of ancient and often unknown traditional ethnic instruments mostly collected in the Far East, without using synthesizers and any other electronic / synthetic source at all. An absolutely original Travel Diary, unpredictable and unrepeatable.
The energy, genius and intransigence of the music of the historic "cult" power electronics project Mauthausen Orchestra (Pierpaolo Zoppo), united to the original, eclectic, rigorous experimental research carried on for 15 years by Giuseppe Verticchio, mostly with his Nimh solo project. Disturbing images of unhealthy places, nocturne landscapes covered with fog, psychotic nightmares, tormenting and delirious, described with sonorities of great impact and incredible dramatic force. A dark and long itinerary, to be wrapped in the spirals of a time that progressively seems to slow down and stop, folded in on itself... suspended in the void, without offering any way out. A sonic adventure for brave souls. Digipak.

Noise Dreams Machina is the project of Spanish artist Oscar Martin, who explores the possibilities of homemade software with free tools for sound deconstrucion and realtime performance. "In / Out" is his first vinyl release and uses a wide range of environmental recordings which are processed digitally in more "electro-acoustic" ways. This leads to a balance between Drone and Electro-Acoustic where the acoustic potential of conventional reality is enlarged via digital processing. Through intense mutation & deconstruction of acoustic materials a new or previously hidden meaning can be revealed for the blind spot of our perception. First edition of 300 copies on opaque white vinyl with silk-screened covers and an inlay.
Noise Maker's Fifes is an experimental performance group from Brussels. The first side of "Zona Incerta" is based on the choreography "Dyonisos' Last Day" from 2003 and uses material from various live performances.

"Zona Incerta" builds a hazy and foggy dimension.. sounds ebb and flow in and out... water and metal-sounds are recognisable in the sound-field, high insect-frequencies intertwine with all kinds of strange noises and animal sounds.

NOISEGATE - 'Suspended Animation Ambient Vol. I' CD (Tumult)
For their second full length album, this East Bay ambient act abandon the violent, corrosive noise that peppered their first full length and instead have created a dark and barren dronescape of ominous, almost imperceptibly shifting, deep, resonant rumbles. Shimmering luminescent shards of low end flow effortlessly through the glistening darkness while hazy tonal reverberations reflect microscopic textures, grey and austere. Breath-taking arrangements of hum and buzz, chime and soothe. Reminiscent of the isolationist experiments and drone investigations of Lustmord, Organum, Zoviet France, Andrew Chalk and Jonathan Coleclough.
NOISES OF RUSSIA - 'Humility' 2 x CD Enhanced (Zhelezobeton)
Under the cover of the 3rd studio album of Noises Of Russia - a project which has chosen Tanatos to be their perpetual muse - there are two post-modern mysteries at once, two doors to the viscous and twilight space over-saturated with the symbols of death of various traditions. The final countdown turns into a long immersion in a cold cerebral-sonic abyss where it's impossible to find out for sure if you are calmed or frightened, comforted or sneered at... if they mourn for you, a mortal, or are they glad for you, an immortal. The album also contains a ritual video for the track "Spirit", not however making the issue more clear. Ltd x 500 copies in a very nice gatefold digisleeve.
Formed by guitarist Yoshiro Hamazaki and programmer Tomoyuki Akiyama in 1999 in Tokyo, Noism focuses on ridiculously complex and spastic death / grind instrumentals using programmed drums that are cut up and spliced back together into impossible rhythms, a million brain-melting riffs and dissonant shredding, all of which is chopped up and processed into abstract death blasts that defy physics. This twelve-song, twenty-one minute disc features a unique, glitched-out chop shop of Planet Mu-style beats delivered at truly meth'd levels of chaos fused with sweeping technical death metal. Insane. Highly recommended for fans of extreme, way-out avant-guitar spazz and absurdly technical deathgrind. Digifile.

The newest creation from Villa Bohult, the Nordvargr family burial vault. This time the "cursed poet" Wrest from the USBM Leviathan and Drakhon (Beyond Sensory Experience, MZ.412) have joined the night sessions of the never sleeping Swedish zombie. It would be totally insane to be waiting for something life-asserting, light and positive for the three of them. "Helvete" is just the overwhelming Darkness and the ice-cold all-filling Terror. Meditative and sinister Dark Ambient rhythms are filled with the ominous whisper of Wrest and Drakh. Deep and lengthy drones as well as the charming atmosphere of the Swedish industrial decadence.

"The Ominous Silence" is more musical album than its followers, with a lot of piano, guitar and synth melodic parts, like in the classical tracks 'De Sorte Trær' and 'Pain Is Better', but the typical Northaunt melancholy and dark gloomy Nordic ambient soundscapes are still there.

NOTHING - 'Silence Came In, Filling Jagged Spaces' CD (Eibon Records)
Fourth full-length album from Jason Walton (Circadian). A disharmonic journey through the mid-world spheres. Fragments of corrupted melodies melt with post-nuclear tribal rhythms. Quiet semi-silences turn into crystal-clear ambiences, then suddenly leave space to bursts of noise. Shamanic-like chants evolve into caressing violins, then fall into pits of ultra-droning dark ambient. Surreal and ghostly.
NOTHING - 'The Grey Subaudible' CD (Eibon Records)
Nothing has been addressed as a hybrid between Lycia and Raison d'Etre. The American duo merge a healthy dose of Industrial textures with the more ethereal elements provided by monumental keyboard and piano incursions, often with a romantic flavour to them, and whispered mysterious male vocals that turn out quite similar to those of Lycia. The way that the softer and more atmospheric Darkwave elements combine with the harsher tones and intimidating Industrial material proves to be highly original and innovative, especially when they get around to fusing both together.
