The debut album of Polish act Sect is a fusion of oppressive mechanical industrial with military rhythms, but also with participation of calm ambient accents. The essence of this work is confrontation of lofty ideas in the name of humanity's development with unrestrained lust for power and domination. The attempt to answer what factors form the development of civilisations and what factors make them fall. 49 minutes of hypnotic, absorbing music. CD in digipak with artwork by Michal Karcz.
SEDAYE MARG - 'Frashogard' CD (Coup D`Etat Communications)
Sedaye Marg returns with its first CD release titled "Frashogard", which literally means "Renewal" in Zoroastrian lore. Fusing its signature processed and distorted percussions with tape loops and strident electronics, "Frashogard" retains key aspects of the project’s previous incarnations while incorporating its Persian influences more visibly, as the focus changes to the events in the last two decades which have shaped its inspirations and its existence. For fans of bands like Vidna Obmana, recent Arcana or Clear Stream Temple. Highly recommended!!

Thus, the first ritual of self-awakening is now unleashed on a luxurious CD with a 4 panel cardboard 7” sleeve bringing forth the darkest and most ritualistic frequencies of will to power that ever emerged on planet earth. One song over 25 minutes long... Submit to The Power of The One" [AWP].

SEELENLICHT - 'Gods & Devils' CD (Cold Spring CSR86CD)
This stunning debut release from a project of Troy Southgate (H.E.R.R.) and Butow Maler (Kammer Sieben) contains 14 darkly satirical compositions that strip bare the mechanism of human nature and the madness of the contemporary world. Comprised of Gothic murder ballads, electronic, folk and neoclassical elements, this album is brimming with originality, enthusiasm and creativity. Guests: Herr Twiggs (Kammer Sieben), Maria Southgate (H.E.R.R.) and Eustacia Vye (Horologium). Digipak with booklet.
Second full-length album from the two former Dies Natalis protagonists, Norbert Strahl and Alex Meier. "Wege" is a classical Neofolk album in best tradition. Some songs mirror a sad, sometimes even gloomy picture of the world inside and outside of ourselves, other songs are just filigree Folk-ballads, as beautiful and dreamy as one could imagine. Nevertheless all nine songs always stand strong and powerful, showing a path to the listener, never to turn back and never to lose his courage. Martial rhythms drum stirringly to neoclassical compositions, united with impassionate piano and guitar playing and electronic sounds. The challenging lyrics on "Wege" deal with the stages in one's life, our path through time and the questions for the meaning and the purpose of life. Digipak with booklet.
"III" is a 3-way split album by the German Neofolk bands Seelenthron, Traum'er Leben and Trinithos. On this album each band interprets their favourite songs by the other 2 acts - and also includes one own new song by each artist. The finale of "III" is a bonus track by Alexander Meier (Seelenthron) - a fantastic, neoclassical cover version of the Soulsearch / Sturmpercht song 'Traumkampf'. Presented in a very nice digipak.
Seetyca is a German project dealing with language, poetry and sound. Seetyca’s musical interest lies more in creating acoustic landscapes or moods than in telling stories. They’re especially interested in unconscious archaic states of the mind. The two pieces on "The Lake" relate to a sacral approach of experiencing nature. When beautiful (classic?) samples are set into a sphere of extremely wide spaces and reverberation, when these clouds of sounds spread out in infinite refulgence, moving like slow surging billows, a point of utmost inner calmness can be reached. First edition of 300 copies on green / black marbled vinyl with hand-sprayed covers and an inlay.

SEHT & STELZER - 'Exactly What You Lost' CD (Intransitive Recordings)
This first album of cross-hemisphere hum by Seht (Stephen Clover) and Howard Stelzer, emerged organically via tapes shared through the post between New Zealand and Boston over the course of a year or so. Without any agenda, the music willed itself into a darkly psychedelic, implacably melancholy haze. A quick scramble of caffeinated tape action kicks things off, then the album rapidly dissipates into a thick, black sleep of environmental debris and humid fog. Worn loops were played into various outdoor acoustic environments and then fed back into low-tech machines for further harmonic decay. Great stuff!

SEHT - 'Dead Bees ((the((quiet)earth))suite)' CD (PseudoArcana)
Campbell Kneale once explained that to describe Wellington's Seht as drone music is much the same as describing Antarctica as white. Where as many of us utilise the drone as an ingredient, a point of departure, Stephen Clover's Seht project distils drones to craft something very like a fine liquor. ‘Dead Bees’ is Clover's somnambulant ambient drone masterpiece. A famous insomniac's grand fantasy of sleep. Setting sail with the gentle sound of submerged bells one sinks deeper as lush rich tones gradually merge into a swell of dreamscape waves.

Swedish Harsh Noise artist known from many tapes, EPs etc (L-White, Hospital Productions, Troniks), but not from many "proper" CD releases.

Flipping over, 'Jag Var I Kulverten' opens into a vast industrial soundscape, carried by a subtle repetitive melody. Heavily distorted low and mid frequency textures dominate the early moments, giving way to confrontational high-pitched abrasions. Heavyweight, clear vinyl presented in a stunning sleeve with artwork by Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Khanate etc). Ltd x 500.
Sailor Winters is Ryan Cox who previously served time as one of the vocalists for Georgia power-violence powerhouse Divorce.
