The debut album from AHTTG - a joint collaboration between Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Toroidh, Folkstorm etc) and Tim Bertilsson (Fear Falls Burning, Switchblade). The Swedish duo have created arguably one of the most haunting drone-dark-ambient-industrial works in recent years, invoking the spirits of old Nordvargr, meets the sludge-doom vibe of Tim's hellish guitar. "...truly the most scary music I have recorded" (Nordvargr). An icy chill down your spine... a cold hand on your shoulder... you are never alone in the darkness.

 |
Four years after their acclaimed album “The Mantle”, Agalloch delivers their new album, “Ashes Against The Grain”. Always progressing but never losing touch with their dark metal roots, the band’s third album unites elements of black metal, Scandinavian prog, and post-rock with the band’s signature brooding style. "Agalloch is the most important band in the United States and simply one of the best bands in the world." (The Metal Observer).

ALTAR OF PLAGUES - 'White Tomb' CD
(Profound Lore Records)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Epic, cinematic, and surging, “White Tomb” is a storming vision where stark images of crumbling skyscrapers, dying and rotten urban structures, empty cracked worn down highways and rising oceans dominate through the convergence of different styles. From epic elongated black metal stretches, slow plodding doom ala Khanate / Burning Witch, minimalistic electronic / martial ambient / industrial vibes, along with the towering apocalyptic vibes of Old Man Gloom and early Isis, and the instrumental wonders of Mogwai and Red Sparowes, “White Tomb” is a vicious uncompromising atmospheric pillage that serves as a soundtrack to collapsing cities becoming desolate wastelands. Features guest vocals from Nathan Misterek (ex-Graves At Sea). Digipak.

AMBER ASYLUM - 'Bitter River' CD
(Profound Lore Records)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |

Reflecting back towards the earlier era of the act in which mastermind Kris Force manifested, “Bitter River” is an unearthing of the magic of such classic Amber Asylum observations as “Natural Philosophy Of Love” and “Songs Of Sex & Death", updating the immaculate vibe with Amber Asylum’s current carnation. Now featuring co-writer Leila Abdul-Rauf (Saros), along with cello player Jackie Perez-Gratz (Giant Squid, Grayceon, Asunder), dominating low-end frequencies courtesy of bass player Eric Wood (Bastard Noise), flute player Sigrid Sheie (Hammers Of Misfortune), drummer Chiyo Nukaga (Graves At Sea, Noothgrush) and and also featuring a guest narration by Jarboe (ex-Swans), it is through each member’s respective lent talent that brings forth the illustrious presence emanating from “Bitter River”.

Atavist are a 4 piece band from Manchester who have have recently toured with Khanate and have played with amongst others, Asva, Esoteric and Gonga.

BLACK SHEEP - 'Kiss My Sweet Apocalypse' 2 x CD
(Invada) - £14 / £15 / £16 |
 |
Debut album from Julian Cope’s brand new free action group Black Sheep - a nine/ten piece ensemble of outsider reprobates whose spirited performances upon massed orchestral percussion, Mellotron 400s and acoustic guitars summon dead ancestors and memories of times past in an effort to achieve total psychic breakdown.
Black Sheep music is of the moment, beautiful as a princess one minute, hobbling like a smitten ditch-dweller the next.
Songs are long and strung out, combining chanting and street protest with ambient meditations on the Culture Heroes of the Past. Eulogies to such Revolutionaries as Che Guevara, Ulrike Meinhof and one of Cope’s long time obsessions Leila Khaled, are offset by chanting and massed drum works outs and tripped out ambulant pieces. CD in a deluxe 6-panel digipak with a 28 page booklet.

BRAIN DONOR - 'Drain'd Boner' CD
(Invada) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
This album showcases 5 tracks of abandoned sludge trudge - a brutal mix of post punk style, No Wave and free proto-metal. If you enjoy music which evokes the sound of overly caffeined baby elephants slopping about in oily puddles, that have formed outside a former Soviet chemical factory, then this is the album for you.
Formed in 1999 and fronted by bass player / singer Julian Cope and guitarist Doggen, the most dramatic change in the sound comes from new drummer Mr E, whose punctuating style of drumming echoes Sabbath's Bill Ward and Grand Funk's Don Brewer. This places greater emphasis on the rhythm section, in places even adding elements of brutal stop/start skank in the Jah Wobble period PIL tradition. File next to Comets On Fire. Comes with a slipcase.

COBALT - 'Gin' CD
(Profound Lore Records)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
The soundtrack to the strong inheriting the earth, “Gin” is a dark, eerie, and violent outburst that takes Cobalt’s surreal avant-war / left-field black metal approach and tears it into new epic and ritualistic proportions. “Gin” is a study of torment, violence, strong excess, hard sex, and despair through a harsh and very real terrain the duo of Sergeant Phil McSorley and Erik Wunder have wandered within upon in recent times. This is reality. Like an epic diseased black metal interpretation of Neurosis, Swans, High On Fire, Tool and Killing Joke. Dedicated to literary vanguards Ernest Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson, “Gin” also remains one of the first, and few extreme metal albums to introduce classic American literature and tearing into the heart of American culture.

Everyone’s belle de jour Diana Rogerson and Andrew Liles got together to create what we regard as one of the most considered and well conceived albums Liles has been part of.

(Well Of Urd) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |

The music of Hagalaz’ Runedance has been described as Ambient Folk or Pagan Folk, yet Andrea definitely has her individual style, creating a step into her world, where past and present, dreams and reality meet. Involving a variety of musicians from alternative, medieval and folk music scenes, she has been experimenting with ancient instruments and her voice. Some songs are magical experiences, describing visions and Seidr trances. Hagalaz’ Runedance evolved out of the dark ambient project Aghast. “Volven” is an essential album for anyone into Pagan and Medieval music.

The first Incapacitants vinyl LP album in 20 years, since the legendary "Repo" (Alchemy Records, 1989).
Side-A features three brand new recordings with a solid sense of direction, keeping vigorous strength and stormy dynamics on each track. Side-B is a lengthy excerpt from the overwhelming live recording of Mikawa and Kosakai at ShowBoat in Tokyo, 2007. Maximum purity as psychosomatic union proved by intensive electronics causing ghostly and fertile atmospheres filled with harshness. "Tight" is the same pronunciation with the most complex Kanji character formed by three dragons and three clouds. Limited hand-numbered limited of 620 copies, in a silk-screened sleeve with a golden Kanji "Tight". The accompanying 12 paged booklet contains photos and Japanese / English liner-notes by Takuya Sakaguchi. VERY FEW COPIES IN STOCK - ACT FAST!

This debut from new Dutch label Kazemat is a split venture between Amsterdam artists Morsanek and Vinkepeezer. Morsanek builds audio narratives by connecting and disconnecting small timbral and organisational complements and improv guitar. Vinkepeezer's music is built from many tiny sampled fragments that reappear as a swarming flock of birds, falling apart and building up again in ever changing forms. His music is organic, cinematic, warm and thickly layered, full of contrast. Ltd x 550 copies in a gatefold sleeve on heavy (180gm) vinyl.

NURSE WITH WOUND - 'Huffin' Rag Blues' CD
(Dirter) - £13 / £14 / £15 |
 |
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.

PETER J WOODS - 'Fairweather Mask' CD
(Autumn Wind Productions)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
"We tread dark waters on a day to day basis, holding ourselves up to a higher standard because of nothing more than pride. Our society has built an intricate system in which we seek out guilt, hoping to find some for ourselves in an effort to justify our existence. Past pains give us status, but we forgo the pain and jump straight to the romanticized ideal. Fairweather Mask explores this phenomenon, touching on both the forms of communication which create this system and the guilt that arises as well." A commanding presence from Peter J. woods in this theatre of Noise, Power Electronics and vocal barrages, justification is what you seek for all the things you do...to yourself. Ltd x 1000 copies.

"Where the Mandrakes Grow" is conceptualized around autoerotic asphyxiation, forming an abstract narrative into a singular autoerotic experience. A singular moment in flux within the body. The sound compositions consist of consciousness cut ups - flashes of memory and anomalies of the moment interweaving. Dark drone and experimental ambience. Mastered by the legendary Robert Rich. Truly a great Dark Ambient work. Ltd x 1000 copies in a 6-panel digipak.

VLADIMIR HIRSCH - 'Contemplatio Per Nexus' CD
(Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Contemplatio per nexus, op. 77, for integrated techniques is an extended work (79 min.) on philosophical-theological themes, based on the writing "Teologia spiritualis mystica", dealing with the process of transformation of human mind during mystical contemplation. An intense musical dialogue between space and detail... a kind of transcription of the relationship between humans and the cosmos, the fight and reconcilliation of intrinsic and extrinsic, the real and surreal world. The polymodal architecture of the compositions, their sound characteristics, oscillating from perceptional levels on the border of subconsciousness and cohesion of integrated techniques of instrumentation make it one of the author's major works.

YOB - 'The Great Cessation' CD
(Profound Lore Records)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |

The heaviest, darkest, most oppressive sounding and varied Yob album to date. With the behemoth-like monolithically paced traditional “cosmic” doom sounds that have helped define Yob’s sound over the years, Yob also incorporate new elements that give “The Great Cessation” a pummeling energetic vibe like no other Yob album, while at the same time delivering even more plunging abysmal dirge-like histrionics that go so far as to even render moments on “The Great Cessation” as blasphemous and evil. In true Yob tradition, the album ends with the 20-minute title track, which ends the album in that surging victorious moment; in the most epic of moments. Digipak.

- £22 / £25 / £28
Andrew Liles’ latest offering has taken nearly three years to hit the shelves and almost as long to create. Recorded in London, Paris, and Sicily "Ouarda (The Subtle Art Of Phyllorhodomancy)" is a travelogue that refuses to stay stuck in any one place for any extended period. The music is as diverse as the array of guests involved - Danielle Dax, Maja Elliott, Rose McDowall, Karl Blake, Edward Ka-Spel and Volcano the Bear’s Daniel Padden all bestow unique and stunning contributions. Obscure, accessible, incomprehensible and exceptional, "Ouarda (The Subtle Art Of Phyllorhodomancy)" is testament to the breathtaking production talents of Andrew Liles, arguably the most vital and original soundsmith of recent years. Limited Edition of 600 copies on neon pink and lime green coloured vinyl with stunning artwork. |

ANDREW LILES & JEAN HERVE-PERON - 'Fini!' CD (Dirter)
- £12 / £13 / £14
An incredible album from Andrew Liles (Nurse With Wound) and Jean-Hervé Peron (Faust). Here is something that sounds like a both a “Krautrock” album and also like nothing you can imagine. Its twists and turns keep surprising and thrilling you several listens on from the first. The words “classic” and masterpiece” would not be out of place here. Both Faust and NWW are touring all over the World this year, and profile for both of these legendary acts has never been higher.

NADJA - 'Bliss Torn From Emptiness’ CD (Profound Lore Records)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Reissue of the extremely limited (60 copies) release on Fargone Records (2005) from the Toronto duo of Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff. The original release consisted of just one track. This special re-release has been given the ultimate facelift. Still characteristically (and aesthetically) seen as one long track (here stretched out to more than 51 minutes), this time though broken down into three segments / parts / tracks respectively. This Doom / Dark Ambient / Drone creation was mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate). Presented in a stunning 8-panel digipak with sticker. |

SOLANACEAE - 'Solanaceae’ CD (Heidrunar Myrkrunar)
- £11 / £12 / £13
Solanaceae is the creation of Danish artist Kim Larsen, which portrays a more psychedelic folk feeling than usually put forth in his Neofolk project Of The Wand & The Moon. However the unmistakable voice and songwriting is still Larsen's, which probably leaves this album as close to an OTWATM album without being that. 13 songs with themes of magick, woods and mysteries, mainly written and performed by Larsen with kind help and appearances by Chelsea Robb (Arrowwood), Pythagumus Marshall (Novemthree), Michael Laird (Unto Ashes), John van der Lieth (Sonne Hagal), Fenella Overgaard (Of The Wand & The Moon), Vincent Farrow (Solblot) and Anne Eltard (who appeared on the first OTWATM album). Digipak.
