WALDCHENGARTEN - 'Distractions' CD (Phisteria)
Really low-end ambient, sporadic humming pulses and blasting noise from this Danish artist (who recently released a 7" on Drone Records). “The senses are hit by a typhoon of charged electricity which sends your mind into a cabinet of mirrors where darkness folds and unfolds. The sound image presents itself as an inseparable unity in which myriads of parallel sequences are constantly undergoing transformations. Transcend through ethereal radiation!” Mastered by renowned Norwegian artist Lasse Marhaug. Nice piece!

WALDCHENGARTEN - 'The Leech' 7" (Drone Records)
Wäldchengarten is a Danish duo that could be best described as “noise ambient” or “raw / harsh drone”. After some already very promising releases, this is their first vinyl. The music on 'The Leech' is very raw and filled with tiny noisy outbursts, at the same time ultra-sluggish and powerful. Low whistling feedback and pure electronic whirl-tones are omnipresent, everything seems to gradually sink to an alien centre of heavy gravity. This is dark, but its a darkness of sheer beauty. First edition of 300 copies on violet marbled vinyl. Black Covers with silver silk screen print and inlay.

WALDSONNE - 'Wanderer' CD (RAIG)
Waldsonne's debut full-length album. Of the 11 album tracks on "Wanderer", 4 tracks are from their "Strahl" demo EP (all re-recorded), 5 are pure instrumental compositions, 1 comes with textless vocalisation, while others are sung in English, German and Russian. The band combines clean mandolin, guitars, Irish harp, and violin into a fairy acoustic blend of music with roots in medieval folk and heathen rite chants. The female singing leads the song at times strong and majestic though always tender and seductively romantic. On some tracks the quartet is supported by percussionists and a flautist. The whole work shines with heartwarming and inspiring tones, it’s all about magic and fascination but not about dark melancholy and depression. Russian import.

WALDTEUFEL - 'Rauhnacht' CD (Percht)
40 minutes of music about the Austrian / South German Rauhnacht rituals. "Rauhnacht" is a rural, ancient soundtrack for the holy Jul nights, combined with dreamy, sad Folk ballads and Pagan Folk-metal hymns. All artwork for this edition was painted by Markus Wolff in May 2007 on wood-plates and the CD has a 16-page booklet with German and English lyrics, presented in a beautiful digipak. Originally released by Terra Fria in 2005, this reissue includes 2 extra tracks and was remastered by Axel Frank (Werkraum).
You could be excused for being confused. Like all previous albums the new Wander album for Divine Frequency is entitled "Wander". �Blame it on Frans de Waard and Freek Kinkelaar's conceptual sense of humour. You might know these boys from Beequeen, where they combine soundscapes with pop songs. When they feel like a day out they disguise themselves as Wander, and concentrate themselves on organ drones. This album is another step forward; these recordings (mostly created on ancient and dangerous synthesizers and open microphones) take Wander back to the 70's with an open, warm, spacious sound.

WEIHAN - 'Symphonies Of Divination' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
The 2nd album of this very promising project from the medieval lands bordering the cold North Sea, Flanders (North-Belgium). Dramatically straying from the neofolk path of their debut album “Galder”, “Symphonies of Divination” offers dark and bombastic compositions with clear references to Slavonic, German and Scandinavian classical music. Heavy percussion, assiduous spiccato string sections, dramatic horn accents and haunting choirs form the backbone of this album. The cold and eerie narrative vocals enhance the grim atmosphere of the music even further. The lyrics, mainly in English but with hints of Dutch, Old-Norse and Swedish, are devoted to Indo-Germanic religion, myth and legend, the Nietzschean spirit and relentlessly attest to the grotesque decline of the modern world. Ltd x 540 copies in a digipak with booklet.
WELTER IN THY BLOOD - 'Through The Fields Of Mourning' CD (Shadowgraph Records)
Welter In Thy Blood is a three piece Black Funeral Doom band emerging from Los Angeles in 2007 with the intent of giving a soundtrack to human extinction. The elegies of Welter In Thy Blood speak of their virulent hate of human existence and the lauding of death and solitude. Revealed through a staggering funeral cadence and guttural ululations is a feeling of absolute torment and despondency. Like a putrid mass for an unholy God. Welter In Thy Blood musically coalesced self mutilation and misanthropy with the urge for voluntary human extinction, coining the term "Suicide is a Virtue". Not for the weak or feeble, this is music for the slightly deranged and the disturbed. Ltd x 1000 copies in a 6-panel digipak with artwork by Kevin Yuen (TenHornedBeast, Sunn O))) etc).

7 years after their acclaimed debut 'The Creatures Of The Wind', Where (Zario of organic ambient project Olhon and Darvulia) return with 'Wererat'. Utilising field recordings taken in sewers, this release revolves around the idea of rats conquering the earth. Hyper-obscure, deep, cavernous Dark Ambient and Drone for followers of Lustmord, Thomas Köner, Kerovnian or Amon. Highly recommended!
Folk Rock from Oregon. At the foundation of "Sewn In Seems" is everything you would expect from Jason Merritt (aka Whip); wonderfully raw front-porch singing and acoustic guitar. Normally Merritt ends there, letting the simplisty and naked beauty of the songs speak for themselves. However, with "Sewn in Seems," he has taken the song to a whole new level. Besides the addition of standing bass and piano, Merritt has added a lot of atmosphere to the song by his playing of some mellow flutes, wine glasses and manipulated tea kettles. The end result is spectacular.

WHITE HETEROSEXUALS - 'Modern Heterosexuality' SINGLE SIDED 12" (At War With False Noise)
What we have here are three tracks of old-style power electronics, reminds me particularly of Sutcliffe Jugend's "When Pornography Is No Longer Enough" album. Very minimal in places, with periods of lull interspersed with piercing explosions, static bursts, and constant weird, heavily processed vocals. Lyrics are very stream-of-consciousness stuff, and the delivery is bang-on, incredibly jarring stuff. Completely at odds with a lot of PE acts around today who tend to go for the muscular beefed-up US-style approach, this is very much more in the old Come Org vein, aesthetically in the musical delivery. Ltd x 300 copies with old school xerox artwork and lyric sheet. Note: Single-sided vinyl.

WHOURKR - 'Concrete' CD (Crucial Blast)
The 2nd album from French deathtronix duo Whourkr is a whirlwind of electronically processed and treated avant-death/grind that is as violent and brutal as it is complex and obsessively constructed, relying as much on samplers and software as it does on bonecrushing riffs, screaming and hyperspeed blastbeats. Following a similar strategy as James Plotkin's post-production grind experiments on the first Phantomsmasher album, all of the guitars, drums, and vocals are arranged and recorded by Whourkr and then run through a gauntlet of hardcore editing and remixing. Total chaos deathgrind filtered through a futuristic cuisinart of ultra-aggressive electronica, like a freaked-out epileptic mashup of Atari Teenage Riot, Dying Fetus, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Venetian Snares, Blut Aus Nord, and John Zorn. Akin to Drumcorps, Bong-Ra, Dataclast, Noism, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Reptiljan, Mulk and DHR. Digipak.

Wicked King Wicker is pure doom. Their brand of guttural expression strips away the rock n roll base and leaves nothing for the listener than the caustic reality of the darkest side of life.

Dark music pioneer Wilt bridges the gaps between industrial, drone, noise and experimental. Avant mystics of the modern day, Wilt continue to create endless landscapes of mystery and isolation juxtaposed against depression and decay.

Geomancy is a study of the interconnection between the human consciousness and the energy of the earth. Geomancy is focused on sacred geometry, the way that spirit integrates into matter - by echoing and amplifying the geometry of nature and planetary movements. The sonic resonance of body / mind / spirit with the harmonic frequencies of the cosmic above and the earthen below. Maximizing the possibility of connection to the One.

The ambition of Winter Family is evident on the expansive, orchestral epic dancing in the sun... crank your speakers, sit back and open your mind... it will blow you away. This album builds on previous releases on Marienbad and Sub Rosa and demonstrates that rarest of things... a unique voice... once heard never forgotten. Ltd x 300 copies in a superb gatefold sleeve.

WINTERBLOOD - 'Incantazione' CD (Witchcraft Records)
2 tracks (40 mins) of pure dark-black-ambient. "A dark journey through crystalline streams and misty mountains utilising its dark ambient confines to noble and magisterial effect. The mood created is often one of immense loss and tragedy; time stands still while silent mourners stand, heads bowed in dark flowing cloaks, hands clasped in a futile bid to deny the cold. The synths never sound overworked, employed with the idea of giving each composition a life of arboreal quality � slow, noble, and wise. Obvious comparisons could be drawn with Vinterriket but Winterblood have their own quality and I feel hugely optimistic about their future" (Asgard Root). Ltd x 500 copies. Mexican import.

WINTERBLOOD - 'Le Fredde Ali Del Inverno' CD (Frozen Landscapes Records)
Debut album from this Italian act, formed in Firenze in 1996, but on ice until now. 3 tracks (47 minutes) of pure sombre Dark Ambient, inspired by astral projections, initiations, untouched places, arcane geometries, solitude and frozen landscapes. "...their debut album meanders on its dark journey through crystalline streams and misty mountains utilising its dark ambient confines to noble and magisterial effect.

WINTERSILENCE - 'Transmission Fields' 2 x CD (Weird Amplexus)
A surprising and ambitious trip from ambient to cosmic paths. This work has various influences, but all titles have something in common, they all seem to run after to an evocative attitude. Mysterious vocals, acoustic sounds, epic musical structures with Nordic sensations. Rhythms and melodies cross themselves in a mixture of savage screams, primitive emotions and futuristic effects. A really beautiful piece of work encased in a lush double-digipak which really does this release justice. Ltd x 1000.

WOLD - 'Badb' CD (Crucial Blast)
Originally released on cassette in 2004 in a limited edition of 100 copies, "Badb" is one of the earliest releases from the Saskatchewan-based black metal / noise duo Wold. The nine tracks featured here revolve around the mythology of the war goddess, the spectre of doom that lurks at the edge of the battlefield. It begins at the heart of a roiling black blizzard and proceeds through a charred nightmare soundscape of icy corroded black metal riffs, fractured blasting, melancholic melodies blurred and smeared into malevolent new shapes, and scathing distorted witch-screams ripping through the blackness, all doused and drowned in Merzbowian levels of feedback and distortion abuse. Now presented on CD for the first time, this early swarm of Wold's psychotropic black metal / noise terror comes with all-new artwork from Pippi Zornoza. A stunning blast of black noise metal, highly recommended to devotees of extreme distorted evil. Digipak.

WOLF & WINTER - 'When The Cold Earth Rests In Silence' CD (Twilight Records)
Wolf & Winter's second album is still in the vein of their first album's raw black metal, but moves a step forward into depressive black metal, combining ambient strings and bombastic drums from the first pagan metal and using a grimmer repertoire of black metal vocals. Not quite post black metal, it uses some elements of this genre to combine the first age of Bathory and Hellhammer with Ulver, Burzum and even Agalloch. To stand in the roots of primitive and raw music is why this second album does not completely move forward into a more modern concept of black metal, but this doesn't mean it's stuck in the past. This way, the music gains more solidness and independence in a genre which has been so done, so constructed, so reconstructed and at last, so repeated. Digipak.
WOLF EYES - 'Black Wing Over The Sand' CD (iDEAL Recordings / Kning Disk)
"Black Wing Over The Sand" is one long session, that from the very first beginning lays bare the roots of Wolf Eyes: here is an evident presence of the industrial music of the early 1980s with bands such as Throbbing Gristle, Maurizio Bianchi and Gary Mundy’s cassette label Broken Flag. Instead of the harsh dissonances and compact walls of noise Wolf Eyes are well known for, the wholly instrumental piece moves slowly forward over a basis of silence. With oscillating movements, Wolf Eyes conjure up short bursts of noise with screaming high pitched tones where a rhythmic deep and slow bass soon sets in. Electric guitar, echo effects and sweeping sounds creates powerfully nerved effects over the slow rhythm. Ltd x 2000 copies.

WOLF EYES With JOHN WIESE - 'Collection' CD (Hanson Records)
A collection of the Wolf Eyes with John Wiese 7" plus two EPs originally released in very limited editions on American Tapes in 2003-04. Digitally re-mastered by Wiese and finally available all together! "Combined into one ugly genetic mishap and flesh hacked covered package by Aaron Dilloway's Hanson label, this is a disintegrated release full of blossoming black sounds... The sheer breadth of textures and styles that they have used is nothing short of astounding... Scattered between exploring inner worlds and blowing-out corneas through riotous frequency changes, this is the place where digits are bent from their 0 and 1 roots into self-adapting cyborg sinews. Elements like stuck groove bell work, tape machine cloud cover and delicate looped horns seem like perfectly constructed movements, musical conclusions of thirty minutes of sweaty improv work".

WOLFMANGLER - 'Dwelling In A Dead Raven For The Glory Of Crucified Wolves' 2 x LP (Aurora Borealis)
Wolfmangler is the musical vision of D Smolken, a Polish political émigré, formerly of Dead Raven Choir. His music is slow, grim, noisy, black and shambling; a deconstructed hybrid of twisted folk and hinterland doom metal. Bowed double bass, electric bass and violin merge with sinister growls and whispered lyrics as Wolfmangler improvise dissonant doom riffs around lyrics taken from Hank Williams Jr, Georg Trakl and others, rich with the symbolism of life and decay. Wolfmangler create a listening experience at once unsettling, twisted and darkly beautiful. Comes with 2 vinyl-only bonus, previously-unreleased tracks! Heavyweight vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with 2 posters.

WOLFMANGLER - 'They Call Us Naughty Wolves' CD (God Is Myth)
D. Smolken (also of Dead Raven Choir) returns to the God is Myth stable in the form of his slow, grim and noisy chamber doom outfit Wolfmangler. With the spirit of past Wolfmangler releases where covers of folk songs, classical music pieces and jazz standards are the main lifeblood, this latest work entitled "They Call Us Naughty Wolves" is the band's unique take on pop music from yesteryear. The results are very much reminiscent of a blackened burlesque chamber ensemble funnelled through a broken radio in a post-apocalyptic wasteland picking up distorted pieces of hits from the 1930s.

WOLFSKIN - 'O Ajuntar Das Sombras' CD (Malignant Records)
Originally intended to be a re-issue of Wolfskin's 2001 limited release "The Gather of Shadows by the Setting Sun" (Ajna), this eventually evolved into a re-working of three tracks from that release, complimented by 7 newly recorded tracks. As the Wolfskin era comes to end, this release represents a glimpse into their past… a more organic, flowing ambient record than what you may find today. That being said, it most certainly will go down as one of their more stunning, darker visions; a masterpiece of shadowy atmospheres and drifting currents, featuring multiple layers of archaic sounds, nebulous textures and ritual invocations, perfectly combined to form a release of intense depth and complexity.

WOLFSKIN feat. LAST INDUSTRIAL ESTATE - 'Stonegates Of Silence' CD (Malignant Records)
And so the journey formally ends for Wolfskin, 15 years from whence it began with the release of "The Hidden Fortress" cassette back in 1995. The essence of Wolfskin has transformed and mutated throughout the years, reaching on "The Stonegates of Silence" it's simpler form… one of desolation, solitude, insanity and death, the final frontiers of human existence. As he did with "The Hidden Fortress: A Revisitation" CD, Wolfskin once again pairs up with Anders Peterson of Objekt4 fame, now operating under the name of Last Industrial Estate for the purposes of this recording. This is Wolfskin at its bleakest and most restrained, offering 5 tracks of enveloping ambience built around foggy, ambiguous textures and an endless flow of drifting isolationism, shapeless horrors, and oppressive subterranean heaviness. In the case of Stonegates, Wolfskin goes out not with a bang, but with a slow, evolutionary creep into the shadows, forever etched in the lexicon of dark ambient music. Digipak.

WOLVSERPENT - 'Gathering Strengths / Blood Seed' 2 x CD (Crucial Blast)
Previously known as Pussygutt, the duo of blackened psych-drone metallers from Boise, Idaho changed their name to the much more ominous sounding Wolvserpent in 2010. The name is the really the only thing that changed, as the occult hypno-doom and grim, folk-stained nightmares that populated their previous albums are all intact here. This release collects both the "Gathering Strengths: LP (Olde English Spelling Bee) and "Blood Seed" LP (20 Buck Spin), both of which were previously available only on limited edition vinyl. The material has been remastered for this format, and comes in an 8-panel digipak that features both the original album artwork as well as new imagery that further compliments Wolvserpent's avant-garde witch-sludge.

WOMBA - 'Evidence Of Letta' CD (RAIG)
The fascinating allure of sound sculptures, organic and industrial flotsams of the WOMBA origin, catalyzed by the manipulations of the local underground scene's most prolific lunatic Tikhon S. Kubov. It is neither a return to the aggravated sonic assault of the preceding album, nor a reproduction of the kind of noise you would expect nowadays - but somewhat more soft. A refined post-industrial symphony of nostalgia, sentiment and lust. Normally, it works without breaks as one single piece, but the montage specific character allows a listener to spin one's own web of twenty four audio-cells by programming the "Letta" tracks to playback in any order. "Make your own Evidence!". Presented in a stunning cardboard package. Russian import.

WULGATA - 'Echoes Of The Past... Not So Far Away' CD (Beast Of Prey)
Wulgata is a Polish musical project, who for the past few years has ben creating dark ambient and industrial sounds in the quiet spots of Silesia. "Echoes of the past...not far away" is a compilation of what is best in Wulgata. This is a 'deceitful' album - on one hand announcing the coming of a mortal threat, and on the other, a reflection of some inner strength, that tries to break free and whispers to calm the spirit. 55 minutes of grim dark ambient sounds with rhythmical and industrial elements. Presented in a foldout package with insert and finished with a wax seal. Hand-numbered edition of 444 copies.
WYRM - 'Divination Bones / Adam Coils' 7" (Drone Records)
Excellent abstract drone-experimentalism by this mysterious project by the long active Allan Zane, feat. Liz Lang (Auracene). This is second, extended, revised and complete version of both tracks previously released as a 7" picture disc. Zane describes the sound as a construction of aural amalgamations of genres now often referred to as "dark ambient" and experimental "electronica". Layered subdued drones with e-bow and repetitive structures. Second edition of 400 copies on silver vinyl.
