Splinterskin unveils his spell after years of solitude and hermetic isolation, in the form of a harsh, dark folk music. His tales are told using an old classical guitar accompanied by haunting vocals, violin, and soothing whispers cradled in the delicate atmospheres of autumn. A collection of tales blending life and death, entities and creatures, hidden wisdom, unknown places, pain and suffering, folklore, possession, insanity, nature and the dark world that surrounds. Yet there are no words to truly describe Splinterskin's message or music.

ANDREA BELFI & MACHINEFABRIEK - 'Brombon 15: Pulses And Places' CD
(Korm Plastics)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Andrea Belfi is an Italian electro-acoustic musician and composer. He began playing drums at the age of 14, and studied art in Milan, before becoming involved in experimental music in 2000. Belfi is also a member of electronic outfit Medves. Rotterdam artist Rutger Zuydervelt started his prolific project Machinefabriek in 2004. This striking collaboration took place between Belfi on drums and assorted small percussion, and Zuydervelt on guitar and organ. Together they produce the 'pulses' and 'places' mentioned in the title. Organic yet partially improvised, it resembles a kind of sonic geography. The listener is taken away for a journey of mild drones, soft yet outspoken percussion. A strong release. Presented in a card-slip-sleeve.

(Infraction)
- £10 / £11 / £12 |

"Ownliness" offers trip-hop rhythms, guitar-ambient, beautiful road movie-music, strange samples and loops deliver with a twist only the Beequeens can master. From the opener "Clockwise" to the long melancholic piece "Beam Ends" (featuring a ticking clock, atmospherically guitar work, environmental recordings and cellos) this new CD offers one of Beequeen's most musical products. It will certainly appeal to Beequeen fans old and new, offering an album full of beautiful tracks. "Ownliness" proves Beequeen more alive than ever, willing to take on new challenges in their music.

C.O. CASPAR - 'Reports From This Lunatic Asylum' CD
(Hau Ruck!)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The latest album from this legendary Berlin Industrial artist is a symbiotic mix of text-fragments, archaic soundscapes and rhythm. The album tries to reflect the present chaos of the world in a specific way - a combination of proclamations and assurances which never will be fulfilled in the end, a criticisms on today's politics and media. Digipak. |
COLLAPSAR - 'Beyond The Event Horizon' CD
(Malignant Records)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Malignant presents another rising star within the dark ambient scene, this time in the form of French act Collapsar. With their debut CD, Collapsar transports the listener on an epic journey deep into the cosmos, forging a path across a vast, inky void, and steering a course around a roiling galactic core of hyper-dense stars and black holes. The sound is epic, expansive, and most of all, HEAVY. There is beauty and tranquility within these realms, but there is no light - just massive, pulsating textures coalescing into shimmering drones, rippling sound waves, and billowing, multi-dimensional layers of powerful dark energy. “Beyond the Event Horizon” is without question, dark ambient in its purest form and one of the more genre defining releases of the last several years. A must for fans of Inade, Lustmord etc. In 6 panel digipak, with design by eyelyft. |
COMATOSE VIGIL - 'Not A Gleam Of Hope' CD
(Marche Funebre Productions)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
"...these Russians play doom at a snail's pace. Even if it was played at twice the speed, it would still be agonizingly slow. The lethargic riffs generate a heavy and oppressive atmosphere enhanced by minimal drumming and keyboards. The vocals are initially ineffectively distorted, but these are quickly discarded in favour of a more efficient natural grunt. It need not be said, but just in case there is any doubt: these are lengthy compositions, tending towards the double digit mark. The band is not too dissimilar to funeral doomsters Tyranny, but do possess their own distinctive flavour... Recommended for all who like their doom to proceed at approximately the same speed as a glacier -- only less welcoming and with less warmth" (Chronicles Of Chaos). Finished with a nice slipcase. |
DE MAGIA VETERUM - 'Migdal Bavel' CD
(Trancendental Creations)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
De Magia Veterum is the magickal creation of Mories (Gnaw Their Tongues) which was summoned in the year of 2003. Bearing a few resemblances with his other musical endeavors, De Magia Veterum represents a far more chaotic outlet, one that prefers to communicate the grand mysteries through an utmost violent and mesmerizing medium. "Migdal Bavel" is the band’s second full-length album: 37 minutes of chaotic, raw, technical, esoteric, avant-garde Black Metal. Let De Magia Veterum guide you as you navigate through Samael's seas of madness. Packaged in a custom made 6-panel deluxe A5 sleeve, with silver ink printed on black cardboard. |
DER BLUTHARSCH - 'The Moment Of Truth' CD & 3" CD
(WKN)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Collection of rare tracks from the classic, early years of Der Blutharsch, with a bonus 3" CD. 6 tracks are from "Der Gott Der Eisen Wachsen Ließ" MCD (1999), 3 tracks are from "The Moment Of Truth" 10" (1998) and 1 track is from the rare "Thank You!" 7" (2000), featuring Death in June. Those 10 reissue tracks were all remastered for this release. The bonus 3" MCD contains previously unreleased versions of three classic Der Blutharsch songs, along with the traditional tune "Lili Marleen", played on a Commodore 64. Packaged in a nice 6-panel digipak with silver foilblocked lettering.

FLEGETHON - 'Behind A Side Of Times' CD
(Satanarsa Records)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
One of quite a few albums from this prolific Russian band, whose compelling funeral doom edges close to dark ambient and black metal at times. "Flegethon draws deep into the melodic asceticism specific to the genre it stands for and yet, when its music gets corrupted by some evil sounds, industrial stutterings, subterranean creakings, harsh blows and even ethereal female choirs (a burst of light in the dark magma), well, damn!... Flegethon paints the extreme desolation, the edge of the world" (Doom-Metal.com). File next to Until Death Overtakes Me, Beyond Black Void, Celestiial and Nortt. Finished with a nice slipcase. |
FRANCISCO LOPEZ & RICHARD FRANCIS - 'Brombon 14: In De Blaauwe Hand' CD
(Korm Plastics)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Francisco López (Spain) and Richard Francis (New Zealand) have created "in
de blaauwe hand" upon invitation from Extrapool for a brief working residency in Nijmegen, to develop a collaboration piece for the Brombron CD series. Working with very small seed source sound samples that were exchanged between them, two intermingling compositional paths unfolded in two parallel small studios. In a short (but very intense) period of time a whole world of very delicate and subtle materials arose. The hour-long track merges without mix a dreamy geography of subtleties and complex organicities that is more the result of aesthetic affinities than pre-structured plan. In that sense, this is a composition born from the sound themselves, following the paths indicated by them. Presented in a card-slip-sleeve.

FREIBAND / BASS COMMUNION - 'Headwind / Tailwind' 3" CD
(My Own Little Label)
- £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
Last year My Own Little Label released 'Haze Shrapnel', a new piece by Bass Communion and a remix of that by Freiband as a 3" disc. Already back then it was agreed that there should also be a release by Freiband with a remix by Bass Communion. Due to the immense success of that 3", the new one is now released as a factory pressed 3" CD. For 'Headwind' Freiband returns to the guitar playing by Martin Luiten (Pick-up) and produces a spacious computerized remix of his elaborate playing. Bass Communion takes matters further up the line in a likewise sizzling remix. Mini j-card sleeve in PVC sleeve.

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'All The Dread Magnificence Of Perversity' CD
(Crucial Blast)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Picking up where 2008's "An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood" left off, Gnaw Their Tongues is back with nine new tracks of fearsome blackened orchestral chaos and abstract horror that still sounds like little else out there. An even heavier bass-assault compared to the other releases, and this is easily the heaviest Gnaw Their Tongues release yet. This monstrous, noxious bottom-end roar that skulks and slithers throughout the album suggests a foul fusion of Abruptum's black chaos and Leonard Rosenman's most nightmarish film scores, piled in towering heaps of sadistic noise, warped orchestral strings, degraded samples, shrieking voices, and punishing lurching doom draped in suffocating atmosphere. This album plunges even deeper into a black pit of cinematic horror, sexual perversion and shapeless heaviosity. Hardback digifile.

IRM - 'The Cult Of The Young Men' CD
(Annihilvs)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Returning with a singularly cold, desolate and lonely release, IRM continues to fervently espouse irreligious, body-obsessed abstractions of the highest order. Departing from the aggressive PE outbursts of the past, the Swedish duo of Erik Jarl and Martin Bladh sculpt pulsating drones, shuddering frequencies, and powerfully dark sounds, as the bleeding wound of IRM continues to flower. The aggression may not be there, but the intensity is in full effect. The Cult of The Young Men contains 'live' tracks recorded in the studio, selections from live performances (including the APEX Fest), and a cover of JOY DIVISION's 'Here are the Young Men. Essential!

ISOMER - 'Face Toward The Sun' CD
(Tesco Organisation)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Isomer's latest offering takes a sharp turn towards more aggressive territories, with the raw industrial hinted at in previous outings getting a proper airing. The dark ambient textures for which he is known still feature, but "Face Toward The Sun" forges new stylistic ground for the project. From the throbbing electronics of the opening track, through power electronics, walls of noise, violent vocal deliveries and carefully structured dark ambience, this is a characteristically varied album. The tracks here will appeal to listeners of martial industrial as well as to an industrial dark ambient audience. A lusty, varied album of industrial music. Presented in a 6-panel digipak with potent imagery.

KAZUYA ISHIGAMI - 'Trash, Rubbish, Poor Works' CD
(Neus-318)
- £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
A collection of 10 unreleased works (2004-2006) from the Osaka musician.
"The music of Ishigami can best be described as a computer version of electro-acoustic music, true to the original form of Musique Concrete. Collage like, bouncing up and down, back and forth, jumping, but sometimes also with longer sustaining blocks of sound. All of which dwell heavily in the world of ones and zeros. I am not sure but it seems there is not an analogue machine in sight" (Vital Weekly). Released in a plastic snap case.

MERZBOW - 'Don't Steal My Goat' CD

Recorded in November 2008.
This time Masami Akita, the legend of Japanese noise, delivers a Jazz(?) Noise-Muzak album.
More than 66 minutes of powerful noise in best Merzbow quality with live free-jazz-like drums which turn into more rhythmic and beating ones...
Very unusual for Merzbow: this is a very rhythmic album! Russian import.

THE EXTINCT DREAMS - 'Ars Moriendi' CD
(Backfire Productions)
- £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
Funeral Doom Metal from Russia, with a touch of apocalyptic Death Metal. The sound of "Ars Moriendi" is raw and unpolished, bringing variation and brutality to the record. The great, deep vocals are supplemented by some melodic and melancholic parts, adding another dimension to the sound of total darkness and solitude. For fans of Skepticism, My Shameful, Colosseum etc. |
THEME - 'Valentine (Lost) Forever' CD
(HCB Records)
- £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
The third album from Theme (Richard Johnson of Splintered, Stuart Carter and Jeanne Boyer). On "Valentine (Lost) Forever" Theme often witnesses barbed yet oblique words cut-up and formed into mantras over a mesh of cascading drones, textures, blissed-out guitar strums, submerged tamboura, metallic sheets of electronic frah, occasional drum pounds and chilling swells 'n' flecks of musique concrete. With an additional remix by ex-Siouxsie & the Banshees bass player Steven Severin, this genuine album offers an apocalyptic sound mirage that recalls the experimental and post industrial works of :Zoviet*France, Throbbing Gristle and Coil, as well as the occult-like numbness of Current 93, the bleak avant-electronica of Andrew Liles and the psychedelic drones furrowed by the group's own previous work. "Valentine (Lost) Forever" is a definite masterpiece in the ever-evolving legacy of the UK industrial scene.

WANDER - 'Wander' CD
(Divine Frequency)
- £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
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.

"Those who worship at the altar of all that is slow and low and heavy and sludgey and

known simply as Wicked King Wicker. After three records, each heavier than the last,

lumbering lugubrious tempos, tarpit sludge, and spaced out abstract buzz and
shimmer, if you fancy Moss, Bunkur, Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, SUNNO))), Wolf

Hearken to the sound of black teeth grinding against the boundaries of the afterlife to send us a message of fear,
as the voices of the damned cry out from beneath blankets of charred skin just beyond the threshold of a universe of pure madness.
This material ranges from the familiar dark atmospheres of Wilt's previous works to pieces infused with a new sense of brutality.

ATOMINE ELEKTRINE - 'Binominal Fusion' 2 x CD

- £15 / £16 / £17
The much anticipated reissues of the magic and long out-of-print "Elemental Severance" (Cold Meat Industry, 1995) and "Atom Xtension" (Yantra Atmospheres, 1999) albums together in a double CD package enriched with 5 bonus tracks! This is pure Nordic genius. Since the early 90s, the main sound of Atomine Elektrine (aka Peter Andersson of Raison D'Etre) has been krautrock, cosmic space rock, esoteric and experimental music. For fans of Klaus Schulze, Neu! and Kraftwerk. Ltd x 800 copies in a gatefold digisleeve with A4 poster. |
 |
ATOMINE ELEKTRINE - 'Nebulous' CD
(Essence Music)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
The trancey beats and sacral atmosphere of "Binomial Fusion" are past and widely replaced by a truly out-of-body, deeply layered and dynamic cosmic experience in form of a masterful ambience filled with energy outbursts, synthetic movements and algorithmical rhythms. An aural projection for a detailed exploration of nebulae, black holes, exploding stars and unknown deep corners of the cosmos. Very much influenced by the electronic side of the kraut scene and with the ability of imposing his very own classic trademark, Peter Andersson (Raison D'Etre) makes "Nebulous" one of the greatest albums related to this genre since the early 70’s. Ltd x 800 copies in a gatefold digisleeve.

CRISIS - 'Holocaust Hymns' CD

- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Crisis came into existence in the late '70s amidst the British hardcore punk movement. They took the same energy that came from the youthful, raw anger of the Oi! movement, but with restrained lyrical phrasing and strict rhythms. Members include Douglas P. and Tony Wakeford who would later expand upon some of the Crisis material for their Neofolk group DEATH IN JUNE. Wakeford later went on to form SOL INVICTUS, whilst Luke Rendall and Lester Jones would later find involvement in Theatre Of Hate and Sex Gang Children, respectively. This is Crisis' entire remastered discography from 1978-1980, complete with a 12 page booklet featuring exclusive photos from Douglas P.'s private archives.

GENETIC TRANSMISSION - 'R.E.T.R.O.' CD
(War Office Propaganda)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Genetic Transmission is a project of Tomasz Twardawa - a legend of Polish industrial scene. R.E.T.R.O is recorded in vein of old school industrial. Most of basic sounds are microphone recordings of different instruments, original acoustic installations like sets of stones, glass and metal, as well as field recordings. The equipment used is a wide spectrum of contact and dynamic microphones and old telephone headphones, all enriched with vintage soviet-made electronic devices from the early 80's. More than sixty minutes of pure industrial sounds. Digipak. |

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - 'An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood' CD (Crucial Blast)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Reissue of the extremely limited LP (Ltd x 250, Burning World Records) from this ultra heavy act. Harrowing, apocalyptic, bestial ritual music from the deepest, darkest cellars of the Netherlands. Avant black metal, agonising funeral doom and blackened experimental drone noise stab forth again and again until all the blood is spilt and total carnage is all that remains. Pure dread put to music. Recommended for disturbed folk into Abruptum, Khanate, Axis Of Perdition, Swans and Univers Zero. "The bleakness and sheer refusal to allow any light to permeate proceedings alongside the non-linear, sprawling nature of the tracks will alienate a lot of people, but for anyone looking for something truly extreme, you’ll have a hard time beating this" (Kerrang). Hardback digifile.

OUTOFSIGHT - 'Vodka Likes Smoke (The Damned Poets)' CD
(War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Poor alcohol and the smoky interior of a pub. The common despair shouted out in rare moments of sobriety. The terrible, absurd atmosphere of Poland in 50s and 60s of last century. Young people, poets, writers, painters and musicians thrown out of the "happy and ideal" society created by communistic authorities. People sinking their dreams in vodka. The works of those damned: Kazimierz Raton (1942-1983), Marek Hlasko (1934-1969) and Edward Stachura (1937-1979) was inspiration for this moving album. Musically it is perfectly blended mix of cold wave, Neofolk, pop and even echoes of decadent cabaret with different guest vocals. Digipak. |

R-A-A-N - 'The Nacrasti' CD
(Malignant Antibody / Malignant Records)
- £11 / £12 / £13
The remarkable debut from R-A-A-N (Stig Berg) delivers dark-ambient in it's classic pure-form, at times, conjuring the spirit of "Heresy"-era Lustmord or vintage Raison D'Etre. Heavy ritualistic drones, sporadic rhythmic accents, and deep subsonics that will vibrate your very core. Thematically, "The Nacrasti" explores an ancient desert culture that was advanced beyond its time and yet long forgotten by history. Your dark evolving journey into this lost "Nacrastan" landscape is streaked with the warm hue of sun-bleached rock, sand, gold, and fire. A serenely brooding work with a myriad of nocturnal sub-textures. At times a subtle, almost alien combination of sounds. Dark-drones which intone an element of beauty and power. A critical addition to every dark-ambient collection. |

RAPOON - 'From Shadows Sleep' CD
(Essence Music)
- £14 / £15 / £16
A unique masterwork of mysterious dark and droney sounds! "From Shadows Sleep" sees Rapoon (aka Robin Storey, ex-Zoviet France) visiting ancient temples, moving between shadowy labyrinths of meticulous drones, echoed tones and distant rumblings, building a hypnotic sonic ritual that brings traces from a distant past in form of atmospheric, spiritual mantras of a possessive power.
Ominous and bleak, yet wondrous, trance-inducing soundscapes swirl around majestic droning tape loops, patterns, ethnic samples and other secret devices masterfully arranged to mesmerize the listener. There’s no light in here - you will be guided by Rapoon’s brooding and extremely detailed sonic imagery. Ltd x 800 copies in a letterpress embossed package with 11 cards printed on quality recycled paper stock showcasing paintings by Robin Storey!

SKULLFLOWER - 'Orange Canyon Mind' CD (Crucial Blast)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
The 2005 full length from the legendary UK free / drone / psych outfit, featuring some of the most searing, synapse scorching droneworks that Matthew Bower (Sunroof!, Total, Hototogisu) has unleashed to date. "Orange Canyon Mind" is the follow up to 2002's awesome "Exquisite Fucking Boredom" (Tumult), and continues that album's utter mutation of stoned out riffs pulled taffy-like into eternity / oblivion and star-rupturing blasts of sonic white light. Over the 8 tracks / 60 minute running time, Bower and cohorts build massive horizontal drones and melodic supernovas. Superb, beautiful, brain melting stuff.
