VALEFOR - 'The Graves of Andras' CD (Memento Mori)
"The Graves of Andras" is based on four particular spirits/demons (Astaroth, Asmodeus, Andras, and Lilith) and the use of Sonic Black Magic. The three primary spirits are Goetic, and represent various parts of the subconscious. Astaroth and Asmodeus were invoked during the recording of this album during October 2000. The Musick is based upon the invocation of these forces and acts as a "Sigil of Sound" from which the listener may use the recording for the materialisation of the spirits within the performance. Lilith is the balance point of the album because this Lunar Goddess symbolizes the night, sorcery, and the forces of Black Magic. This recording is intended as a gateway towards the Demonic Realms. A mix of Death Industrial and Black Ambient.

Vanessa Van Basten is a strongly emotional sonic magma that absorbs and metabolises different sonic influences, from the introspective metalcore / heavy Postrock of Jesu and Neurosis to the experimental metal drones of Sunn O))), from Lycia and Slowdive melancholy-driven soundscapes to the cinematic melodies of Morricone and Badalamenti.

VARIATIONS OF SEX - 'My Cock Is Beyond Good And Evil' CD (Dotsmark)
Reissue of this Tokyo Harsh-Collage-Noise Unit's third EP. "Harsh metal junk abuse with extensive distortion, just waiting to get heavy and crunchy... and then there comes strange electro-acoustic noises. But it doesn't take long to get back in business... plenty of high pitched synth noise and jumpy harsh noise. If this really is his early recordings, I must say a very promising release! More sex-noise from Japan can't be bad!" [Degenerate]. Presented in jewelcase with new artwork.

VEHEMENCE REALIZED - 'Severe' CD (Palace Of Worms)
Vehemence Realized, a darkwave / goth rock band from Richmond, Virginia, present their debut CD. VR combines acoustic and synthetic sounds into untraditonal yet natural song structures. This duo acheives a dark and depressive yet hopeful and original sound. Lead by the painstakingly profound and heartfelt vocals of Michael Otley and highlighted by the classic infusion of horns by T. Nathan Roane, the songs on this CD are as personal as they are testimonies to their musical talent.
While sharing some of the same trademark characteristics of shifting unease and resonating darkness as YEN POX, Hall's solitary sonic visions contain elements of an almost organic, atavistic nature. Elicits the sensations of an unnaturally suspended sunset - a lingering dusk of dying, burnt orange heat and light washing over one's face, while a cold, encroaching dimness chills the back of the neck.

VELEHENTOR - 'Boeing: There...And Back Again' CD (Gravestench)
"Boeing" contains two mini-albums. The first of these is "The Rest of Hiroshima": cold, apocalyptic darkwave and drones in the name of mushroom clouds over Japan in 1945. The second part "Wargasm 911. The Best of USA" is a very cynical Power / Rhythmic Electronics ritual with Russian lyrics, dedicated to the events of 9:11 in New York. The last track entitled "168:1" is recorded in memory of Timothy McVeigh who exploded the federal building in Oklahoma-city in 1995. Festival of soul for misanthropic comrades. The CD is packed in DVD case with a booklet and a set of postcards – all with very nice photography. Highly recommended!

VERBUM - 'Aevum' CD (War Office Propaganda)
Verbum is Neoclassical and Post-Industrial project from Spain, based on apocalyptic ambient and ethnic passages, with spoken words in Spanish and Latin. A wide variety of instruments, electronics and strange percussion take you to other dimension. The album consists nine Aevums that speak about life, about you and me, about us. Each Aevum is a metaphor of one phase of knowledge that we learn from birth until death. All the feelings of the human being presented in a specific way - like a theatrical show. Darkness, sadness and poetry in 64 minutes of words and music. Digipak.
VERDE - 'Legenda' CD (Musically Incorrect Records)
"Legenda" is the second official CD by Verde, lead by electronics madman Mika Rintala (ex-Circle). "Legenda" is a logical continuum of the 1960's and 1970's wild electronic experiments and general recklessness of Finnish Underground Music, with evident influences of Krautrock heroes Faust, Can, Neu and Amon Düül - and the early Industrial pioneers Nurse With Wound, Throbbing Gristle etc. "The music of Verde is not meant for superficial listening. Verde challenge their listeners instead of trying to please them". Limited edition of 500 copies in a beautiful digipak.

VERFALLEN - 'Corrosion Studies' CD (Dekay Media)
Three lengthy, improvised instrumental pieces, for strings and piano, which move effortlessly between beautiful, aching, emotive sadness to stratospheric optimism. Throughout this debut album, the listener is taken on a twisting and turning melodic journey, though the cohesiveness of the pieces is never lost as the pace and form change without warning. Compositional tools are introduced and discarded and yet the music has a strangely familiar feel. This is the first work by UK act Verfallen and will appeal to fans of modern compositional music. 32 minutes of music in a card sleeve.
Cold, destructive and suicidal Black Metal from Belgium, with a member of Paragon Impure and Gotmoor. "The unpolished sound immediately attracts one's attention and it suits the songs perfectly.... From the dramatic structures to the subjectively right placed bridges to the razor-sharp riffing and the teeth-on-edge-setting screams of the fronter, there are only positive things to mention" [Taakefrost]. This was the final album from Verloren (the Dutch word for 'lost') and the band are now defunct.
Second album from this collaborative project between Russian activists Nick Soudnick (ZGA) and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass / Stalnoy Pakt). "While somewhat more accessible than "Simultannostb", "Promzona" carries over much of the same elements but in a more refined form, resulting in what is possibly their best release yet. Oxygen-starved symphonic loops, industrial field recordings, worker's speech samples, the sounds of a gramophone from the workshop and metallic clangs form a soundtrack to a desolate world of slowly sinking tugboats and aborted construction sites." [Mechanoise Labs] True Russian Industrial music! Comes in oversized sleeve.
