N. - 'Memories From Before Being Born' CD (+ Belligeranza)
Two empty tape-recorders, one connected to the other, no sound if not the distortion produced by the tape-recorders themselves in play/rec. On this recording of Nothing the modulations of vintage analogic effects: emptied frequencies, prenatal sounds without any sonic grain, audio for a flat electroencephalogram. The selection of the technical set-up through which sounds are produced is part of the N. (Nihilism, No, Not, Never...) aesthetics: The Process Is The Poetics in "Memories from before being born", a possible conceptual-noize manifesto.
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 - 'Autopergamene' CD (Essence Music)
Call it drone-doom-dirge-shoegaze or any other in vogue nomenclature you like. It doesn’t matter. They are simply the true originators of this breed of blissful, seriously intense and ominously ethereal heavy sounds. "Autopergamene" (a spell or charm wherein you write in blood, on a fragment of skin, what you wish to happen) finds Nadja at the peak of their sonic language of slow-blooming, heavily nuanced ambient guitar constructions and slow motion, lush, epic heaviness. Blissful, paced and almost orchestral strings... super distorted and fuzzed out rumbling sludge riffages... delicate, lush acoustic guitars... hazy, sparkling, passionate and twisted vocals from Aidan and Leah. Simply breathtaking. Lavishly assembled in a custom 6-panel digisleeve packaging housing a 6 cards set with beautiful watercolor paintings and artwork by Portuguese artist L Filipe dos Santos. Mastering by James Plotkin. Ltd x 800 copies.
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.
"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.
"Ruins Of Morning" shows NADJA in a very experimental and dark poetic mood. Their contribution for the "Substantia Innominata" series comes in two long parts (around 20mins each) based around one musical theme that appears again and again (a great dark harmonic phrase moving through different levels through this epic track), linked by very beautiful drone-sections and more noisy outbursts. Song-orientation and a more experimental sound-art approach are thus combined perfectly. The fantastic lyrics from Aidan Baker point in a very poetic way to an utopian new morning where material values play no role anymore, but a new state of sensual being is settled in an almost J.G.BALLARDian way. These lyrics open up a scope of vague possible interpretations witch match up perfectly with the impressing music; a music that describes "The Unknown" in strong metaphors of surrealistic psychic states of being. Experience the avant-gardish drone-doom-metal duo at their most dark and beautiful. Ltd x 500 copies on golden coloured vinyl.

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.

NADJA - 'Under The Jaguar Sun' 2 x CD (Beta-Lactam Ring Records)
Disc one, "Tezcatlipoca", is the actual collapsing of stars. This monstrous soul goes from grumbling angrily to mowing the heavens. Parts even cross into early Swans territory with aggressively fractured pacing. But all roads lead to the final track which is an epic length doom metal anthem of sweating proportions. Disc two, "Quetzalcoatl", diffuses into the air an alien vocabulary of electronic-esque gargles and hums. A soundtrack made from the residue left after a subterranean dowsing for the echoes of collapsing stars. These disembodied post-transmissions form up in a Minerva’s Web of sunken Titanic ghosts, slow moaning as from distant caverns. Both CD’s have been composed so they can also be played simultaneously. If "Tezcatlipoca" is overground and “Quetzalcoatl” is underground their combination must be all things… and no things. Maybe the sound of the end of things. The resultant juxtaposition is a colossal celestial being smiling down on all he tramples. Packaged in a full colour, custom made hardback 10-panel sleeve.
NADJA / AVAVIST / SATORI - 'Infernal Procession... And Then Everything Dies' CD (Cold Spring CSR111CD)

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 / OVO - 'The Life And Death Of A Wasp' LP (Vendetta Records / Adagio830)
Over the last few dogs days of summer 2008, Italy’s OvO and Canada’s Nadja got together in their adoptive city of Berlin at Einstürzende Neubauten’s andereBaustelle Studio. With engineer Boris Wilsdorf at the board, each duo began two songs and had the other duo finish them, Bruno and Stefania adding heavy, pounding rhythms and harsh, eerie vocals to Aidan and Leah’s ambient textures and bass-heavy drones. The album, while still heavy and still retaining signature sounds of both groups, turned out mellower than either band expected. But this mellowness gives the songs a greater sense of presence and allows for the intricacies and nuances of each individual’s contributions to be properly heard. With a final mastering by James Plotkin, this album sounds simultaneously harsh and lush, aggressive and warm. Having coffee after the sessions in the back garden, a wasp drugged on sugar flew into Leah’s coffee cup and drowned itself, traumatizing everyone at the table. Ltd x 500 copies on black vinyl.

When the Canadian "avant metal / drone doom" duo Nadja and the German post-industrial / experimental drone pioneers Troum (years ago active as Maeror Tri) combine their exceptional styles, they form something even vaster as usually known from them. 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.

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... The record's climax lies in the Nurse With Wound-inspired "So Confusing Yet Oh So Beautiful" - a title that, naturally, ends up being a perfect self-description. After all, there's no one better at servicing Nervesandgel than Nervesandgel itself."

NETHERWORLD - 'Morketid' CD (Glacial Movements)
"Mørketid" is a Norwegian term that indicates a certain period in the year when the Arctic winter cold encases everything and the sun doesn’t rise over the horizon. It’s a cold and dark period that distinguishes regions and people living in the Artic. The music here is composed using short fragments of sounds found in the Arctic area. These are documented and subsequently sampled and then completely transformed into new forms and therefore a new vision of the Arctic. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.
NEUESTRASSE - 'Introspective Black Forms' CD (War Office Propaganda)
An interesting piece of Italian dark ambient. The intention here is to recreate the anxious vision of the beginning of the 20th century - desolated places of that period, fear, death, ruins etc. Particulary for this album, Neuestrasse were inspired by stories of serial killers. Neuestrasse is the name of street of where Fritz Hartmann, "The Wolf of Hannover", resided in 1920. The idea of "Introspective Black Forms" is based of negative emotional states. Presented in a digipak.
A personal exploration into the dark places that exist inside all of us. Inspired by vivid nightmares and dark visions glimpsed while staring into the bottomless depths of the abyss. Combining the best (or is it worse) elements of Dark Ambient, Death Industrial and Black Metal to create the darkest music possible. Neuntöter Der Plage is the long-running project of Ryan Opperman (Redrot).

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 - 'A Day Without Disaster' 10" (A Silent Place)
"A Day Without Disaster" is a glimpse into the ever-evolving minds of NC & The Young Elders, who dwell somewhere between the romantic male / female duets of Richard & Linda Thompson and the exotic worldly arrangements of the Incredible String Band. With their focused, sensitive touch, unusual acoustic textures, gentle wordplay and ensemble interaction The Young Elders are traversing the folk world and leaving large shoes to fill. Their latest efforts meet paths with psychedelic sirens, Turkish rain calls, celtic ghost stories and realisations of the natural world. Though often lumped in with the "freak-folk" genre Nick Castro has been transcending such labels since most of these new folkies were still playing indie rock.

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!

NIELLERADE FALLIBILISTHORSTAR & GREEN ARMY FRACTION - 'Westerbotten' CD (Cathartic Process)
After Niellerade Fallibilisthorstar’s impressive full length albums, this collaborative release shows an even further development in their sound. This pairing with fellow Swedish act Green Army Fraction results in a massive, powerful sound. Their heavy use of cymbals and analogue electronics creates impressions that surpass harsh noise trappings, exceeding genre definitions or expectations. The sounds created reveal the magickal qualities of Metgumbnerbone or Coil, the dark psychedelic ambiance of The Stargazer's Assistant The Other Side of the Island or Wolf Eyes’ Black Wing Over the Sand, and the cacophony of The New Blockaders. Elaborately printed with metallic inks and packaged in a gatefold sleeve, along with a 16-page booklet.

Delta Amoeba has the sonic experimentation and aesthetic of an underground noise album but somehow channels recent 'electronica' without compromise.

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.

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 total “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.

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.

CD1 of "Evolution" is firmly rooted in classic Nordvargr territory - dark ambient with some more bombastic and noisy elements ala MZ.412. CD2 is divided in two parts - the first 8 tracks are from the Avart sessions ("Music for movement"). Part two is 4 "elektronika" style tracks, showing another side of his personality. "Evolution contains elements of music I have recorded over the last ten years as well as completely new material. If you are familiar with my previous albums you will find sounds you have heard before, but in a new setting. But Evolution is not to be confused with a "best of" album - it is a distilled and refined album of my inner visions and feelings, filtered through my past to show the future, and possibly the end." (Nordvargr). Double digipak.
Partly based on an old Swedish folktale, Pyrrhula ("doomlord") is a pitch black journey into utter darkness. This is a tale of foreboding doom... a portent of dark times to come... a blight on the face of this earth. These eight Black Ambient / Doom / Droneworks were brought forth from the abyss of Villa Bohult exclusively for Cold Spring and contain the malevolent vocals of Lord Nordvargr himself!. "Beware the small creatures of light, they only bring misery and death upon the enlightened ones. For they will paint their breast with blood and reap your unborn angels."

Brand new album from the Northern Wolf! "Untitled Navigations I" was recorded live in the Villa Bohult studio, and is one massive ambient piece of slow moving darkness. As the soundscape evolves, rhythmic patterns appear and merge with the crackling of broken records and deep resounding frequencies. Partly based upon Nordvargr's previous attempts to alter sleep patterns, this recording also contains theta / delta waves, but the reason for this is not revealed. No overdubs or post production.

Slow beautiful crawls, murky soundfields and a delicate web of softly plucked guitar strings are swallowed by massive mournful dirges and majestic, funereal doom.

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.
