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.
First ever LP from Glasgow's premier psych-drone man Ruaraidh Sanachan. "Amazing new LP from one of the UK's best psychedelic sci-fi drone blokes, total bliss drones layered repeatedly causing some truly stunning brain melting moments. Think ancient temples in the amazon being ravaged by thunderbolts of bright electric psychedelia. Totally amazing - everyone who has heard this so far has been blown away. Paste on art, quite possibly the most awesome '70s/'80s b-movie inspired cover art I have ever seen" (label). Ltd x 300 copies.
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 - 'Desire In Uneasiness' CD (Crucial Blast)
"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.

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 / 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.
Talented Italian ambient composer Alessandro Tedeschi runs the Glacial Movements label and plays music as Netherworld. His fascination for polar landscapes and soundscapes makes him close to industrial ambient pioneers such as Thomas Köner, Rapoon, Biosphere and Lull. Icy, windy, droning and deeply 'protomelodic' at once, his music is a poetic translation of the ice floe. Nadja is the drone / doom / ambient duo of Canadian musicians Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff. Their behemoth of sound is a construction of heat, weight, loop and vapour. Here, they had to break Netherworld's ice and find a way to the red core of Earth. The common track brings heat onto ice, which warms up, crackles and soon melts. As a conclusion, the long piece by Nadja is total heat. This is Nadja 'unrhythmed', which means pure lava.

Structured elements of loops and samples meld with caustic textures, erupting amidst bridled chaos and pulsating waves of white hot, saturated noise and distortion.

In a tradition that is anchored in avant-garde, ritual sounds and Dark Ambient, with a typically Italian touch, Netherworld gives an elegantly organic and palpable feel to sounds... as if the sound universe conjured by the magic of Netherworld was strangely… occupied. Netherworld has a tendency for ambiences that are excessively introspective and subdued, but which, at the same time, expand and subtly dilate to occupy an incommensurable space. Upon the first pulses of the opening track, this infinite abyss, envelops us and our dreams sink, dissolve, reinvent themselves. Limited to 441 copies in a deluxe textured foldout sleeve.
"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.

An interesting piece of Italian dark ambient.

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.

"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.

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 & NEFELHEIM - 'Whispers From The Ashes' CD (Weird Amplexus)
Ideally inspired by the Inquisition era, like some titles of the tracks may suggest, "Whispers from the Ashes" presents Nimh (G. Verticchio) and Nefelheim joined together for the production of a dark oriented CD that alternates obscure and haunting atmospheres with more gloomy and sometimes dramatic and highly evocative episodes. A disquieting voyage to a far away past, in a stakes and witches age, featuring persecutions of heretics and superstition. Ltd x 500.

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 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. A sonic adventure for brave souls. Digipak.

The second CD from this Swedish Dark Ambient outfit from Frederik Bergström (Sator Absentia), aided by famous Swedish arranger Erik Lundburg. 6 tracks of experimental, ambient drones, creating a nightmarish atmosphere with occasional satanic outbursts.

NOCTURNE - 'Fleisch Und Metall' Enhanced CD (Steinklang)
"Fleisch und Metall" (meat and metal) is a conceptual album, a soundtrack for a performance by French Industrial / Noise act Nocturne. The performance took place in a old, ruined factory and the 7", 20-page booklet shows images from this event. An organic and ice-cold album, reminding of early Werkbund, and even Japanoise-esque metal orgies. A complex album with variations in style, whist utilising French vocal samples and industrial marching sounds. A 100% pure Industrial album. An additional 11 minute video brings you a challenging homage to industrial work and revolution, accompanied by an amazing Industrial soundtrack. Ltd x 500.

NOCTURNE - 'Terroriser Manipuler Conveincre' CD (Old Europa Cafe)

Slowly moving tracks, recalling the atmosphere of the years before First World War - a very 'industrial' concept using analogue instrumentation mixed with sound-samples from the beginning of the last century and many samples taken from the legendary "Dr. Mabuse" film.

NOCTURNE - 'Vers Le Vide' CD (Final Muzik)
A patient, careful, dark ambient / apocalyptic work by Nocturne, requiring a deep, contemplative listing. This is at first a music of tension with an atmosphere of imminent disaster. And yet, from this magma of telluric electronic shocks and drones, emerges sharper, harsher sounds. An album embodying the unity of opposites, leading us to perceive a struggle between what's buried and what arises... between annihilation and the revelation of a hidden light. Ltd x 600 copies in a gatefold digifile.
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. The second side is created from insect field recordings made in Kenya. "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. Released in two different vinyl-colours, limited to 250 copies apiece: blue-green and clear (sorry, we are unable to state which colour you will get, as they're sealed).

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.
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.

NORDVARGR - 'Evolution' 2 x CD (Old Europa Cafe)
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.
NORDVARGR - 'Helvete' CD (Eternal Pride Productions)
The 2008 creation from Villa Bohult, the Nordvargr family burial vault. This time the "cursed poet" Wrest from the USBM Leviathan Cult 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 from this trio. "Helvete" is 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. At the end of this trip all of those nostalgic for the times of the "Burning The Temple Of God" MZ.412 will be rewarded for all the years of waiting. Digipak.

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.

NORDVARGR / DRAKH - 'The Betrayal Of Light' CD (Tumult)
Nordvargr once again joins forces with fellow MZ.412 cohort Drakh, for another essential output, delicately balanced between dark ambience and grim blackness. 'The Betrayal Of Light' is one massive sonic event, a black cloud of sound. Slow beautiful crawls, murky soundfields and a delicate web of softly plucked guitar strings are swallowed by massive mournful dirges and majestic, funereal doom. An intense and overwhelming sonic journey, as heavy and brutal as it is delicate and beautiful. Doomy and blackened, drifty and droney, soft hazy, dense and devastating. 6-panel digipak.
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. Digipak.

NURSE WITH WOUND - 'Huffin' Rag Blues' CD (Dirter)
The first NWW album for over 4 years, "Huffin' Rag Blues" is the inevitable conclusion of Steven Stapleton and Andrew Liles' passion for easy listening and lounge jazz. Contorted and carved into a distinctly Nurse With Wound sound "Huffin' Rag Blues" is a greasy amalgam of uneasy listening, shaken and stirred Molotov cocktails and quixotica. Full to the brim with squeals, screams, smokey vocals, drunken double basses, melting vibraphones and internal organs from outer space this album is an unlikely and unique excursion from beginning to end. As with all NWW recordings it goes without saying... expect the unexpected.
