Through an element darkly…In the fall of 2005 Z’EV
began dipping deep into his archives and selecting recordings
to produce ‘sum things / a possible form for cold dark
matter’, a project reflecting his take on the ‘dark
ambience’ genre. Composed between December 2005 and
March 2006, these 6 pieces endeavor to transport the listener
deep into their long forgotten memories of the primal forces
at the dawn of creation. Each piece is based on a single sound
source. Absolutely no effects of any kind, not even equalization,
were applied to the source recordings. Instead Z’EV
relied solely on the stretching of the duration and pitch
of the samples and then edited and mixed the results down
into the heart of space. Hear then, the state of the art in
elemental musics. Not to forget the beautiful packaging by
artist Abby Helasdottir.

entitled "Thoughtforms" (Ltd x 150, Tosom,
2007). The LP collects two tracks from this release:
"Thoughtspan" and "Thought Climate".
Two long form tracks of genre blending shoegaze, post
rock, krautrock and almost free jazz clatter at times.
This is some very beautifully crafted music. Ltd x 350

ALEX
SANDERS - 'A Witch Is Born' CD (Mother
Isle) - £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
Alex
Sanders (1926-1988) - "the King of the Witches"
- was the most powerful witch in Britain. "Here,
for the first time, he presents a full recording of
the solemn initiation of a new member into the ancient
Craft. Assisting him is his wife and High Priestess,
Maxine, and a coven of their young witches. Alex himself
is a hereditary witch; he was initiated by his grandmother
when he was seven years old. For centuries the Craft
was driven underground by persecution and intolerance.
Today, though their innermost secrets may still be only
told to witches, they can open a few pages of their
Book of Shadows - and for those who seek to know more
of this faith that is older than history, they can set
up signposts to the way of Wicca, or wisdom. This record
is such a signpost." |

and neoclassical. Anabasis' "World" is inspired
by a Robert Browning poem, painting a wonderful story
filled with heroism, adventure, darkness and valour.
Highly cinematic! Gargrim The Liar's "World"
is inspired by Warhammer and other fantasy roleplaying
games, filled with mysterious killings, dark intrigue

"Legends"
features some of the first material recorded by Changes
in their new incarnation, and is a folk rock / folk
noir rendition of an Ezra Pound poem set to music.
"Changes
have returned to the studio after more than two decades
and added the outstanding five sections to their enduring
Legends masterpiece. Coupled with the Vikingesque
tales of Thor and Odin, these additional excursions
into the realms of superhuman heroics concern the
brave deeds of notable characters such as Galahad,
El Cid, Ulysses, Lancelot, Aeneas, Prince Igor, Arthur
and Merlin; as well as a whole host of romantic beauties
such as Venus, Penelope, Guinevere, Elvira and Sol....
Relying on the engineering skills of Robert Ferbrache,
Tesluk's 12-string guitar strums and picks its way
amid Taylor's smooth vocals and fine delivery. The
various historical epochs represent a continuous whole
but are suitably broken into six musical areas."

Fearthainne's
debut represents the nadir of a journey into earth.
Conceptualised and written in wild environments in the
West, this collection of songs is a picture of the labyrinth
travelled by a human organism, seeking life outside
the long shadows of unremitting gray. The seekers masquerading
as musicians who have created this document have used
these sounds as a conduit for the reconnection with
being, and have chosen to make it available to those
who might hear the voice of the Others speaking to them
from within. Exclusively utilising acoustic instrumentation,
Fearthainne is the unending rain that calls forth the
blossom, the harbinger of the organic future we inevitably
face. A sonic expression of green in all its capacities,
this project is a document of the search for Home. Embracing
four deeply potent healing crafts of acoustic mourning
and regeneration. Featuring the two spirits of Cascadia's
Ritual Black Metal atavism Fauna. Presented in a stunning
outsized 6-panel gatefold sleeve. |

to a dark tunnel of screaming hopelessness and destruction,
creating a misanthropic feel that leaves you alone in
the decay of human being. It ends with final breaths.

"Maleficia
is the bay area duo of Andy Way (Orchest, French Radio,
Carrion) and Ilysea Viles Sunderman, who crafted this
desolate, post-industrial smear of voice, violin, and
electronics for the always impressive isounderscore
label. With the titles of the two side long pieces being
"Making" and "Remaking," Maleficia
offers a crucible of elemental sounds being obliterated
into a charred dust and rebuilt into ashen constructions
of misery and disgust... The industrialized loops that
wraps around the voice and violin come across like a
slow-motion Maurizio Bianchi on par with the downer
records he did with Land Use or the grim power electronic
phase in the early '80s. Certainly for fans of Amber
Asylum, early Lustmord, and the dark ambient aspects

SKARE
- 'Solstice City' CD (Glacial

 |
Skare
is the collaboration of Swedish droners Mathias Josefson
(Moljebka
Pvlse), Per Åhlund (Diskrepant)
and Fredrik Olofsson. The members of Skare are all fascinated
by the circulation of water, snow and ice. The metamorphosis
from gas to floating liquid to snow to solid ice through
freezing, the light reflecting from the snow and filtered
through the ice as a prisma and - most of all - the
sound of this ever ongoing circle. "Solstice City"
is an interpretation of a journey through a shifting
landscape where the city meets nature. The vehicles
used by Skare on this journey are field recordings,
found sounds and treated and manipulated instruments.

THE
VAULT / AMES
SANGLANTES - 'Split' CD (Sophisticate
Pleasure Records) - £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
The
first release from this new Canadian label is a bleak
piece of Death Industrial and Dark Noise from 2 Canadian
acts. The Vault's sound ranges from furious and spasmatic
industrial to oppressive Death Industrial. Ames Sanglantes
normally perform aggressive Noise attacks, but on this
release we are propelled into an hypnotic and minimalistic
turmoil of Dark and atmospheric Noise. Standard poly
sleeve with card booklet. |
THUNDERWHEEL
- 'Credo' CD (The

"Surrealistic
Industrial Instrumental Romance". Thunderwheel
is a new project of Vadim Gusis, the mastermind behind
acknowledged Israeli project Chaos As Shelter and member
of Agnivolok. Thunderwheel musically differs essentially
from both those acts and may surprise for the best.
Igor Krutogolov (Kruzenstern & Parohod, Agnivolok)
and Slava Smelovsky (Grundik + Slava, Crossfishes) feature
on the record. |
WERTHAM
- 'Memories From The Pigsty' CD (Tesco
Organisation) - £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Wertham
is the solo project of Marco Deplano, Italian mastermind
of Mediterranean cinematic post industrial / folk combo
FORESTA DI FERRO. After more than 10 years of wait and
a fistful of smaller releases, "Memories from the
pigsty" is the first full length CD, displaying
a sound rooted in a mix of full frontal power electronics
and industrial music with a plethora of samples and
very aggressive vocals. All words and lyrics should
be interpreted as a real life diary which paints human
landscapes describing domestic violence, white trash
mentality, ghetto culture and street life in general.
A real breakthrough for the Italian power electronic
industrial scene, long overdue manifesto of Marco Deplano.

consuming and devastating sounds, evolving and mutating
noise. Keep your aspirins at hand - Control is here
to crush you. To little pieces... Digifile. |

RICE - 'Alarm Agents' CD (NER)

After a few years’ silence, Death in June is
back, accompanied by the words of Boyd Rice. “Alarm

DERNIÈRE
VOLONTÉ - 'Devant Le Miroir' CD
(Hau
Ruck!) - £11 / £12 / £13
2006 album by the French masters of erotic military
pop, more gloomy than ever before! Devant le Miroir
is by far the most polished of Dernière Volonté’s
works to date, with more accessible tracks - a culmination
of everything that has come before, it can be called
Martial Pop at times as well as hinting at Neoclassical.
Marco Deplano (Wertham)
assists Derniere Volonte on the very poignant final
track. Digipak with booklet. |
 |
KAYNO
YESNO SLONCE - 'Elohim Neva Senzu' CD
(Corvus
Records) - £11 / £12 / £13
Veselin Mitov furnishes a mix of monumental and epic
ambient soundscapes with powerful, natural Bulgarian
folklore played with gaida (bagpipe), kaval (wooden
flute) and percussion. Add to this a voice encompassing
the pure feeling of freedom and archaic wisdom at
the same time and you will be mesmerised! |
 |
KONAU
- 'Speech From The Shadows' CD (Eibon
Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
A "hybrid" creature formed by members of
Italian Dark Ambient acts Subinterior and New Risen
Throne. Disquieting and obscure dark ambient, with
some amazing "melodic" structures scattered
through the songs. The shadows are speaking... Will
appeal to fans of Raison D'Etre or Desiderii Marginis.
Highly recommended! |
 |
LULL
- 'Like A Slow River' CD (Glacial
Movements) - £14 / £15 / £16
After a long period of silence, we welcome the return
of one of the most important representatives of the
ambient isolationist world: the wonderful UK artist
Lull (aka Mick
Harris of Scorn, Painkiller, Napalm Death). "Like
a slow river" is a work characterised by sharp
and minimal atmospheres but also dark, cold and huge
such as large bodies of ice which slowly move, carried
by an endless river. 6-panel digipak. Highly recommended! |

NAVICON
TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'The Arrow And
The Wound' CD (Eibon
Records)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Once again entering the deranged mindset of the jilted
lover-turned-sexual predator, NTT is back with "The
Arrow And The Wound", delivering the most absolutely
brutish levels of misogyny yet and creating an atmosphere
of emotional depravity where lust is confused with
longing and love is intermingled with delirium. Power
noise at its highest and most uncomfortable levels.
Includes a fantastic remix by SKM-ETR and collaborative
input by Sickness, Fragment King, M Slagle, Unter
Null, Maliks and Tim Spann of Abfall. Digipak. |
 |
NEST
- 'Trail Of The Unwary' CD (Corvus
Records) - £11 / £12 / £13
Eerie, acoustic, calm Nordic ambient/folk music played
on the kantele, giving the music a medieval touch.
Beautiful sounds dedicated to nature and inspired
by her beauty… and of legends untold. "A
hidden pool amidst the woods where the otters come
to play, an owl's faint call echoing through the woods,
sparkling waterfalls and vast snow-covered landscapes
where the reindeer folk and wolves hold their domain. |
 |
OCTOBER
FALLS - 'Marras' CD (Corvus
Records) - £11 / £12 / £13

about the Nature’s beauty. “Marras”

mist in the forest. Perfect melodies for the long
winter nights. Originally released in a digipak in
2005, this reissue is presented in a jewelcase. |

and Dean Glaister (Romance).
With one 7" on Drone Records to their name this

dark matter envelops and your psyche slowly dissolves.

simply yet beautifully constructed" (Heathen
Harvest). |

Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Debut album from this Norwegian Dark Ambient legend.
Imagine a crossing between Amon and Lustmord, enriched

TROUM
- 'Objectlessness' CD (Faria
Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Reissue of Troum's rare 2005 album (Ltd x 100, Mystery
Sea). "Objectlessness" explores the gap
between rational, verbal language and the pre-symbolic
language of our emotional and unconscious mind. Music
is perceived partly with our conscious mind and partly
by our primal consciousness that lies under the rational
mind. Experimental music, especially that of a more
droning character, can be unconsciously connected
with this primal state of mind. Spheric, droning,
dissolving music is pointing unconsciously at this
“objectless” sphere of existence. Ltd
x 750 copies in an outsized package with inserts. |
