Z'EV | Sum Things CD (CSR101CD)
£8 / £9 / £10

Shipping: 20th April
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 endeavour 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.

AD OMBRA - 'Magna Charta Illusorum' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden) - £11 / £12 / £13

Ad Ombra returns with a distinguished opus, this time reaching the heights of malignant Drama, in a suite of 12 tracks of majestic excess and voluptuously carven diversity. Elegant and compelling orchestral densities full of sophisticated charm, profound recesses, heart wretching scents of tragedy, viciously intense sopranos effusions, all morphed into a dynamic and ingenious set of cinematic impulses. Ultimately emotional dramatic art with an excellent production, not to be missed by the admirers of modern classical masters, industrial, dark ambient, opera / ethereal voices, Elend, Devil Doll or The Protagonist. 6-panel digipak.

All Ad Ombra Titles

AETHERE - 'In Coma' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden) - £11 / £12 / £13

“In Coma” is the last work of Milan act Aethere, who in the last 4 years perfected their dark ambient / space music hybrid. Binding dilated atmospheres, typical of space music, with more compact and an oppressive style, characteristic of the Swedish masters. “In coma” is created on the feeble equilibrium between life and death: the EEG sound walks through the six tracks until the acme of the mass-sounds. When the EEG becomes a flat line, Aethere dies. 500 copies in a digipak.

All Aethere Titles

AIN SOPH - 'Oktober' CD & 3" DVD (Old Europa Cafe) - £15 / £16 / £17

Reissue of Ain Soph's 2002 album with new artwork. The come back of the Roman masters after 10 years! All vocals are in Italian with their usual acoustic instrumentation and their typical keyboard sounds. The songs are similar to their previous album "Aurora", but with an additional rocking electric guitar. Once more a work above all standards. The more unusual industrial project which still works from inside the idustrial world. Tales of a Russian soldier during the October revolution. Probably even more surprising than "Aurora". The disc that you have been waiting for. Ltd x 1000 copies in a digipak with a bonus 3" DVD.

All Ain Soph Titles

AVARUS - 'Ruskeatimantti' 2 x CD (Tumult) - £15 / £16 / £17

Essential double disc collection of long out of print material from the Finnish forest-fuzz, psych-folk collective. Primitive, primal and tribal, desolate and mournful, dreamy and pastoral, motorik and hypnotic. A buzzing, clattery, droning, stumbling krautrock flecked with shimmery free-noise, avant ambience, delicate folk filigree and chaotic caveman psych-space rock. Featuring members of Anaksimandros and Kemialliset Ystevat.

BASS COMMUNION - 'Loss' Picture Disc LP (Soleilmoon) - £20 / £22 / £24

"Loss" is not about the violent moment of loss, but its aftermath. The crushing melancholia, the endless questions of “what if?” and “why?”, as well as the concepts of regret, missed opportunity, or a feeling or moment in time that can never be recaptured. But even in the midst of this gloomy scene, hope and light are born, for loss is never total. Memory lingers, a residue of evidence is left behind, and life goes on. “For me, the album is an extension of the previous release, Ghosts on Magnetic Tape, which relates to Electronic Voice Phenomena, or the idea that the dead can still communicate with the living world through recorded media. In order to try to capture this feeling I wanted the music to leave a spectral, ghostly impression, and to have an organic decaying quality, like something trying to break through from another world. To this end my musical sources were mainly 78 rpm records, a vibraphone and an upright piano. No synths or electronics were used, only organic sources or instrumentation that has been around for at least the last century.” Stunning full-colour picture disc, pressed in an edition of 500 copies only! A RARE PIECE!

DEATH IN JUNE - 'Lesson Number 1: Misanthropy' CD & DVD & Patch (NER) - £20 / £21.50 / £23

This compilation of Death In June material from 1981-84 was previously only available on LP (1986) and is now reissued for the first time on CD. Its purpose is to tidy history and features tracks from the very beginning to the very end of the original line-up's recordings. Comes in a debossed 'repak' of completely recycled paper and includes the very rare version of 'Black Radio' known as 'Some Of Our Best Friends Live In South America', plus a recently discovered unissued longer version of 'Sons Of Europe' taken from the 'Burial' album sessions. The first 2000 copies include an exclusive embroidered patch and a DVD of the 'Reunion' performance of the 3 original Death In June members (Patrick Leagas, Tony Wakeford and Douglas P.) which took place as an encore to the Death In June performance at The Underworld in London on 6.XI.98. This was the first time the original trio had played together in 14 years and the historical moment was beautifully captured on video that night by Boyd Rice. ESSENTIAL!

All Death In June Titles

LIKE A KIND OF MATADOR - 'Halfway To Dangerous' CD (Tumult) - £11 / £12 / £13

First and final release from this now defunct UK trio who meld crushing slow motion doom-drone-sludge with haunting prog and drifting abstract ambience. A swirling, slow moving prog-doom juggernaut. Essential listening for fans of Sunn O))), Harvey Milk, Earth, Boris, Monarch and all things slow, low and heavy. But at the same time, strangely alien, with a subtle muted beauty lurking at the heart of LAKOM's gloriously epic crumbling black mass of sound, within each song a breathless subtlety, a deep haunting otherworldliness, transforming dense low end explorations into something much more expansive and divine. Digisleeve.

LUASA RAELON - 'Season Of The Witch' CD (Snip-Snip) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

"Season Of The Witch is a horrifying and spine tingling collection of drifting dread scapes. Using dark ambient, horror filmatic work, noise elements, death breath and bone brittle drifting rhythmic thuds. Which all builds a really creepy haunted house or dead black wood of an album" (Musique Machine). Conception, production, execution and capture in the Variax Crypt and among Celestial Tombs in the year of your lord, January through April, 2006.

All Luasa Raelon Titles

LUASA RAELON - 'The House Of Flesh' CD (Snip-Snip) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

"The House Of Flesh" has been brought into the world. A nightmare journey through a a living house bent on your destruction. The House of Flesh once more finds David Reed and his Luasa Raelon project pulling the listener into sinister and dread filled continents of sonic fear. With things going a little more noisy than "Season of the Witch"; but this is still prime death industrial meets blackened ambience of the highest and most horrifying order. Prepare to meet your doom.

All Luasa Raelon Titles

LUNAR ABYSS DEUS ORGANUM - 'Tuntury' CD (Aquarellist) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

The new album of one of the oldest Russian dark-ambient projects. Lunar Abyss Deus Organum is a collection of six sonic pictures of the world of thundra-yoga. Each composition is like a complex multi-dimentional mosaic built of layered sounds of completely different natures: field recordings, samples, synthesizers, singing, tape noises, etc. These layers slowly and relentlessly create a slowly twisting deep sonic spiral, stretching listener's attention out to several directions at once. Hallucinatory ambient of double dosage. Ltd x 500 copies in a digisleeve.

All Lunar Abyss Deus Organum Titles

LUSTMORD - 'The Dark Places Of The Earth' CD (Vaultworks) - £14.50 / £15.50 / £16.50

Ambient remixes from the Lustmord album [O T H E R]. Lustmord goes back to his über atmospheric roots and purely soundscapish tracks. No guitars or epic build ups at all this time, but a come back to the very deep and bassy long ambiances of "The Places Where The Dark Stars Hang" or "Heresy" (minus the voices). As usual, the production is flawless, the tracks are amazingly profound, and this is extremely recommended. 68 Minutes long. Ltd x 1000 copies in a digipak.

All Lustmord Titles

MARK SADGROVE & ANTHONY GUERRA - 'Iron Sand' CD (A Binary Datum / Black Petal)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

On this release, Anthony Guerra (Paper Wings) plays electric and acoustic guitar, electronics and vocals, while Sadgrove (MHFS) plays electric guitar, aluminium harp, electronics and vocals. "Recorded in their new homeland Japan, this is the point where improvised music meets singer songwriting. This is 'easy' music, music that makes your mind wander off, into the grey sky, into the desert, or into the deep sea. Blues like emptiness, very empty. Drone like strumming, slide guitar setting the tone. Vocals don't take a big place around here and are more to underline the desolate character of the music. A fine release of sparse sounds. Minimal indeed" (Vital Weekly).

MIGUEL A. RUIZ & BARDOSENETICCUBE - 'Exclusion Zone' CD (Aquarellist) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

A collaboration work of Spanish musician Miguel A. Ruiz (Orpheon Gagarin, Efficient Refineries) and Russian project Bardoseneticcube. "Dangerous zones of sonic landscapes painted with the help of analogue synths and sequences, all sorts of samples, vinyl records and even folk instruments (percussion, gusli, penny whistles and pipes). Schizophrenically twisted ambiental collage of the fragments of the modern soundsphere. Rhythmic excursions into contaminated areas. Industrial psychedelia". Ltd x 500 copies in a digisleeve. Russian import.

NAEVUS - 'Truffles Of Love' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £11 / £12 / £13

Naevus’ playful self-released debut, "Truffles of Love" came out in 1999. Unavailable for several years, it is now reissued in re-mastered form, with significant sonic improvement on the original release. This re-issue also includes six bonus tracks dating from the same period. These tracks were previously only available on obscure compilations in very limited quantities and are long-since deleted. Over 74 minutes of neofolk 'n' pop, giving a complete picture of the early development of Naevus. The original artwork has been extensively overhauled and this edition is presented in digipak format with a 16 page booklet including the lyrics and an essay on the band’s beginnings.

All Naevus Titles

NORDVARGR - 'Evolution' 2 x CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £18 / £19 / £20

The latest, and possibly the last, album that will be released as "Nordvargr". Henrik has expressed that he has nothing left to give as a dark ambient composer, so this might be his final stand. CD1 of "Evolution" is firmly rooted in classic Nordvargr territory - dark ambient with some more bombastic and noisy elements ala MZ.412. CD2 is divided in two parts - the first 8 tracks are from the Avart sessions ("Music for movement"). Part two is 4 "elektronika" style tracks, showing another side of his personality. "Evolution contains elements of music I have recorded over the last ten years as well as completely new material. If you are familiar with my previous albums you will find sounds you have heard before, but in a new setting. But Evolution is not to be confused with a "best of" album - it is a distilled and refined album of my inner visions and feelings, filtered through my past to show the future, and possibly the end." (Nordvargr). Double digipak.

All Nordvargr Titles

OSTARA - 'Immaculate Destruction' 2 x CD (Trisol) - £16 / £17 / £18

Richard Leviathan founded Ostara in 1999 after having worked and toured with Death in June in the late 1990s. The band has been making a name for itself ever since the release of their first album, "Secret Homeland," in 2000. Now, in 2005, comes the most definitive release to date: "Immaculate Destruction". A profound and visionary work delivered with a perfect blend of passion, aggression and intimacy. Esoteric, poetic, apocalyptic but consistently inventive and contemporary, Ostara has achieved a unique fusion of lyrical complexity and musical accessibility with songs that appeal to the head and the heart. The album features new band members including Dave Renwick (ex-Bronski Beat & The Communards). A highly polished and professional production gives "Immaculate Destruction" a cutting edge sound that will win Ostara many more admirers. Released in a deluxe double CD limited edition with exclusive material.

All Ostara Titles

PRURIENT - 'Whip Enthusiasts' 7" (BloodLust!) - £12 / £13 / £14

18th release in the BloodLust! Private 7" series. For this single, Dominick Fernow seems to have crafted the ultimate Prurient statement - two tracks that seamlessly combine Fernow's "Pleasure Ground"-style minimal-synth leanings with his most caustic, raw, black metal lust - resulting in a truly brutal mutated style of power-electronics. Lyrics appropriated and edited from Levchev. "Night passes beneath my window". Limited to 300 copies, pressed on white vinyl and housed in a plain white sleeve with insert. RARE - ACT FAST!

All Prurient TitlesAll 7" Vinyl

PYHA - 'The Haunted House' CD (Tumult) - £11 / £12 / £13

"Unbelievably grim and blown out Burzumic Black Metal buzz from a Korean 14 year old! The demo received 10/10 in Terrorizer and you'll understand why. Burzum meets Abruptum but even more harsh and atmospheric. Rare is the record, black metal or otherwise, that evokes such intense emotion, that gives the listener chills. Beyond the blackness and the buzz, lies a record of impossible depth, full of emotion and passion. Anti war, anti military outsider individualistic blackness that destroys any other BM you've heard". 6-panel Digipak.

REDROT - 'Deviant' 7" (BloodLust!) - £9.50 / £10.50 / £11.50

This is the vinyl debut from cult death-industrial powerhouse, Redrot, who also records as Fabrico Incubo, Neuntöter Der Plage and more. "Deviant" straddles an uncomfortable line between death-industrial, power-electronics, crust / sludge and a totally aggressive form of minimal synth. "White Walls" brings to mind "Leichenschrei"-era S.P.K. with its unwholesome mental ward pathology. Pressed in a hand-numbered edition of 200 copies on black vinyl with silver labels. Professionally offset-printed, colour, fold-out sleeves. ACT FAST!

SEIJIRO MURAYAMA / MICHAEL NORTHAM - 'Moriendo Renascor' CD (Xing-Wu Records)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Between 2003 and 2004 Michael Northam and Seijiro Murayama met a few times in Switzerland and France. A comprehensive and extended document of these meetings has finally made its way in the form of "Moriendo Renascor" ("In death, rebirth"). Seeded from recordings taken in Lisbon, Portugal and Astoria, Oregon. Northam offered heavily mixed sources. Selections were made by trying to find segments of activated sonic ‘matter’ then finally to be passed through the ears and hands of Murayama. A shared desire to find some shared experience through the medium of sound. An unlikely meeting between a densely planned acousmatic ‘composter’ and a highly disciplined improvisor. Comes in a gatefold sleeve made from thick and weighted brown recycled card. Malaysian import.

All Seijiro Murayama TitlesAll Michael Northam Titles

SIEBEN - 'Desire Rites' CD (Iceflower / Trisol) - £14 / £15 / £16

While Sieben's earlier works focused on dreamy, remote harmonies and fantasies, "Desire Rites“ deals with more personal and immediate topics. The rites of desire ask for more cutting sounds, precise rhythms and direct lyrics. We are now confronted with stronger beats, a pulse of emotions which are even more hypnotic and driving than before. This deeply personal universe reflects drastic personal changes Howden's life, with Howden completing the album alone and without the help of guest musicians. Those who have had the chance to experience Matt Howden live will find the raw energy and passion he unleashes on stage in this very album. He simply takes his violin and uses his artistic intuition to create this unique powerful sound of his. Digipak with 28-page booklet.

STRIBORG - 'Black Desolate Winter / Depressive Hibernation' CD (Displeased Records) - £10 / £11 / £12

Reissue of two old albums from Tasmanian necro BM legend Sin Nanna, brought together on vinyl for the first time. "Black Desolate Winter" was recorded during May 2005 and "Depressive Hibernation" was recorded during February 2005. This album is full of the undulating trademark buzzing guitars that Striborg employs, but the structure of the songs feel something like Burzum. 1 hour & 20 minutes of suffocating, depressive grimness.

STRIBORG - 'In The Heart Of The Rainforest / Misanthropic Isolation' CD (Displeased Records)
- £10 / £11 / £12

This is the next chapter in Displeased records reissue series of old albums by Striborg - the prolific and often avant-garde touched one man Black Metal project from Tasmania.

STRIBORG - 'Perceiving The World With Hate' CD (Displeased Records) - £11 / £12 / £13

Brand new 2009 album from this Tasmanian Black Forest Metal / Black Ambient legend. Deathly slow, depressive Black Metal with a wondrous touch of the eerie and gloomy. "Perceiving The World With Hate" has a strong emphasis on the melancholic and atmospheric side of BM, with moments of blackened Doom. "... strikes my ears as stealthy move into a woods overrun by ghosts... it is one thing for Sin Nanna to play the character of a lone gunner in the dark wilderness. But it is another thing to play sounds that portray wasted souls as strewn about that same landscape" (Brutalism). Features Malefici of Xasthur on 3 tracks. File next to Burzum. Packaged in a DVD case.

WEIHAN - 'Symphonies Of Divination' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £11 / £12 / £13

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.

This project doesn't hide it's fascination of eastern and ethnic cultures, to the point you can hear original recordings of didgeridoo and other ethnic instruments. All this combined with modern dark ambient music. The album combines old cultures and modern ways of creating music, with acousting sounds with pure electronic sounds. These skillfully balanced sounds ake the listener from one world to another, while standing strong on a fundament of dark ambient music. Digipak.

- £11 / £12 / £13

Emanuale Ratti, the man behind Aethere, started to compose music by trying to mix '70s space music with dark ambient in the vein of early Cold Meat Industry.

AUTOPSIA - 'The Berlin Requiem' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £11 / £12 / £13

BLACK SUN PRODUCTIONS - 'Chemism' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £11 / £12 / £13

ELHAZ - 'The Black Flame' CD (Dark Vinyl / Memento Mori) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

These heathen creations are loaded with unrepentantly Satanic philosophy combined with bombastic Neoclassical arrangements and industrial darkwave, topped with ritual excursions into pagan folk music. Synths, deep bass vocals (ala Kirlian Camera) and samples all come together in a gloriously accessible album. Comparable to ConSono.

FOLKSTORM - 'Folkmusik' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £11 / £12 / £13

"Folkmusik" is a classic Folkstorm album with its roots firmly placed in the old-school industrial style, but there is a suffocating quality to it that is new. While a lot of the tracks are rythmic, harsh and ugly compositions as you would expect, there are also a few ones which are monotonous monuments of fear, isolation, despair and tension. Digipak.

FOLKSTORM - 'Hurtmusic' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Second OEC release by this great side project of MZ.412 leader Nordvargar! This time playing helped by Mrs. Nordvargr! Recorded live at Nar Mattaru on 11 March 2000 in front of a selected audience. Quite simply a bombastic live attack, this is the renascence of uncompromising power-industrial, this is muzak for "no prisoners" war status.

FOLKSTORM - 'Information Blitzkrieg' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Folkstorm is the uncompromising Power-Electronics solo project by Nordvargr!
