TenHornedBeast | My Horns Are A Flame To Draw Down The Truth CD (CSR106CD) £9 / £10 / £11

Shipping: 9th February
The TenHornedBeast rises again. Five new compositions from black ambient / doom overlord Christopher Walton - three remixes / expansions / contractions of songs from the debut album "The Sacred Truth" and two totally new pieces that are in a similar style to this dark masterpiece. Walton has stripped some of the songs to their bare bones and allowed them space to breathe again. This album is all-new but continues the atmosphere of the debut and can be considered a companion piece. Presented in a matt-laminate, spot-varnished digipak.

Shipping: 9th February
Reissue of the stunning debut BHN album from spring 2008 (Ltd x 200). Working with a constantly evolving autumnal orchestra of layered cellos, repeating piano melodies, hushed vocals and mutant textures of sound and noise, Bleeding Heart Narrative has constructed a unique, haunting and compelling album. BHN is the work of sole composer, artist and producer Oliver Barrett, working in the live spectrum as a septet. Presented in a digipak with the new and exclusive bonus track 'Blueskywards'. We can't recommend this highly enough!

Sistrenatus | Sensitive Disturbance CD (CSR104LP) £8 / £9 / £10

Shipping: 9th February
Blurring the lines between Dark Ambient, Industrial and Noise, Sistrenatus storms forth, shifting between oppressive aggression and unsettling atmospheres. "Sensitive Disturbance" is the third offering from this now legendary Canadian act, whose debut "Division One" was issued on Cold Spring in 2007. An aural journey through the urban decay of abandoned factories, scorched landscapes and underground passageways. "Sensitive Disturbance" is an abrasive rendition of the industrial revolution in its darkest phases.

VORTEX - 'Phanopoeia' CD (Tesco Organisation) - £11 / £12 / £13

The German ritual drone project Vortex (aka :Golgatha:) is dedicated to the British art movement of Vorticism of the early 20th Century (1913-1920). Founded as an own vision of Futurism by Wyndham Lewis and expressed in the legendary magazine Blast (1914) Vorticism defined the artist as someone gaining creative power and inspiration out of the chaotic vortex of creative energy. The name was introduced by the Vorticist protagonist Ezra Pound who also coined the phrase 'phanopoeia': the idea of creating poetry for all senses. The music of Vortex pays audiovisual homage to the great Vorticist art. Psychedelic drones, ritual drums, processed sounds, glimpses of acoustic harmony, and original sound documents are blended to grant a holistic sensory experience. Vortex transcends the limits of dark ambient soundtracks on a quest for the unknown.

AEOGA - 'Zenith Beyond The Helix-Locus' CD (Aural Hypnox) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

From beyond the mundane symbolscape, the 2nd album of Aeoga emits aural phenomena from devouring multi-layered elemental ambience to amorphous and hallucinatory sequences entrancing one's awareness thoroughly. The fifteen formations manifest themselves in various forms; bright and luminous helixes intertwine with shadowed and shapeless non-beings. All in all truly overwhelming material where acoustic instruments and electronic equipment mingle themselves to channel forth the aural elemental current. Comes in a 7" gatefold sleeve. Limited to 1000 copies.

ARKTAU EOS - 'Mirrorion' CD (Aural Hypnox) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached as singular gateways or a slowly unfolding journey of epic proportions, the debut album of Finnish ritual act Arktau Eos is a challenging, complex work. Born of intense private musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned by man and further refined in the temple-laboratory of the duo, it is the distillation of seven arduous months of work. 'Mirrorion' is the music of stellar light thrown down from the Heaven's zenith and its eldritch reflections in the depths below, uniting atavistic elemental noise with serene passages of crystalline, spectral ambience. Comes in a six-panel, A5 booklet. Limited to 1000 copies.

BARDOSENETICCUBE - 'Noosphere' CD (Monochrome Vision) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

This soundpiece is pure improvisation by Russian artist Igor Potsukailo (Bardoseneticcube) and a laptop, dealing with theory of Russian scientist Vladimir Vernadsky about collective consciousness, emerging from the interaction of human minds. The continuous computer-generated music, minimally changing but reaching maximum concentration, comes as the one long track, designed for your mind challenge. Potsukailo uses a kind of feedback circuit, adding the elements of human presence into this music and modifying the energy / information balance in that powerful field near planet Earth called 'Noosphere'. Ltd x 500 copies.

BELBORN - 'Perchta' 7" (Percht) - £7 / £8 / £9

Dedicated to the Goddess Perchta, this 4-track release is based on recordings of traditional Perchtenläufe and nature. Different than most other music from Belborn this release (as one would expect being on Steinklang’s ‘Bavarian’ side-label), is more in the way of traditional German folk music. Belborn lead us on an acoustic journey through strange rites and ancient folkish rituals in the mysterious Rauhnacht. Ltd x only 365 hand-numbered copies on nice, thick vinyl!

BLOOD AXIS - 'The Gospel Of Inhumanity' CD (Storm) - £11 / £12 / £13

The debut album from Blood Axis and an absolute milestone in military-verged Neoclassical music! A blend of martial industrial rhythms, classical parts with traditional instruments (almost medieval in places) and the strong voice of Michael Moynihan. Contains the definitive version of 'Reign I Forever' - absolutely essential! Digipak with booklet.

CONCRESCENCE - 'Obscured By The Dark Years' CD (Ahnstern)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Concrescence includes all today’s most wanted music styles: beautiful Folk-ballads, sometimes with a strong medieval touch, Martial drums and trumpets, Neoclassical hymns and heartbreaking pagan lyrics, sung by perfect female and male voices. Concrescence is a collection of early, unreleased and lost songs from the archive of ‘The Thieves Of Impressions’. Maybe only the elders amongst you will remember this most beautiful Dark-Folk band from the early 90’s, lead by Ales Pickar, who was one of the 2 founders of the cult-label Ant-Zen. All recordings on Concrescence were made in 1994/95.

DEATH IN JUNE - 'Burial' CD (Leprosy Discs) - £11 / £12 / £13

Burial was originally released as an LP in 1984 and was the first Death in June record released via Leprosy Discs. The personnel at the time was: Douglas P., Tony Wakeford and Patrick Leagas. After this record, Wakeford left the band. A CD version was released for the first time in 1991 and has remained sold out now for many, many years. Amongst the tracks on this record you'll find a lot of classics and a complete set of brilliant live tracks. Another piece of the puzzle to fill the gaps in the DIJ back catalogue. Simply a must! Comes in nice foil-blocked digipak with embossed images.

DER BLUTHARSCH - 'Everything Is Alright' CD (WKN) - £11.50 / £12.50 / £13.50

"Everything Is Alright!" is a sort of follow-up to the 4CD-Set "Fire Danger Season" and as such it compiles rare tracks from 7" singles, remixes and more, recorded between 2002 and today - martial industrial, neofolk, apocalyptic folk, neofolk 'n' cabaret. More than just an essential anthology for collectors, this also makes an excellent introduction to beginners! Presented in a digipak with spot varnishing.

HALO MANASH - 'Am Kha Astrie' CD (Aural Hypnox) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

"Am Kha Astrie", a work of heliotropic, elemental ambient, is an opening, an awakening, a summoning, a crossing of thresholds. After their previous oneiric and minimal album, "Am Kha Astrie" sees Halo Manash re-integrate a more diverse instrumentation and a multiplicity of soundsources to create their work, which consists of seven interrelated tracks. Archaic elemental drums, bones and spiraling animal horns merge with various metal percussions, chimes, wind-instruments, voices and a multitude of other instruments to create a deep, earthly and yet celestially-bound opus. "Am Kha Astrie" is a massive and sometimes ominous work, a primal experience of coming-into-being, with all the terror, ecstasy and divine awe that it implies. Hand finished cruciform folder. Ltd x 1000.

HALO MANASH - 'Language Of The Red Goats' CD (Aural Hypnox)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50


"Language of Red Goats "is a complete work in itself, but can also be viewed as the first facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation - three faces of the same being. More akin to a primitive field recording in the realm of oneirotropic exploration, than an actual album, the work consists of one lengthy tripartite soundscape. Utilising only gongs, bells, metal bowls and wind instruments, as well as flocks of birds, the work is in contrast to earlier more refined works that feature a wide multiplicity of instruments and soundsources. "Language of Red Goats" is a bare, primitive and sometimes raw aural landscape, and yet nonetheless achieves a rare subliminal intensity and an edge of otherwordly luminosity.
Hand finished cruciform folder. Ltd x 920.

IN GOWAN RING - 'Exists And Entrances' 2 x CD (Ahnstern) - £15 / £16 / £17

"Exists & Entrances" is a retrospective through the years 1994 to 2003. All 40 songs have never been released officially before, only the artist himself gave away some personal copies. On several songs Jon Michael B'Eirth performs with Michael Moynihan & Annabel Lee (Blood Axis), with Markus Wolff (Waldteufel) and other friends around his magical circle of Folk freaks. Besides several traditional songs, this compilation also includes coverversions from songs by great 60's/70's Progressive Folk artists and songwriters, like The Incredible String Band, Strawbs, Vashti Bunyan, Nick Drake, as well as cover-versions from Psychic TV, The Legendary Pink Dots, Brian Castillo (Jarboe) and 17 Pygmies. Hand-made digipak.
