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.

AB INTRA - 'Aura Imaginalis' CD
(Zoharum)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Ab Intra is the Latin phrase for "on the inside". The term is quite appropriately connected with the project's music. The man behind it, Radoslaw Kaminski, claims that he seeks connection with his inner side by exploring the musical territories. Ab Intra is an illustration of the pictures that are created in the mind of the author. However, the form used enables the listeners to interpret the sounds in their own way. Listeners may remember their debut album 'Demiurgia' on War Office Propaganda (2006). Dark Ambient for fans of Inade, Raison d'Etre / Necrophorus, Herbst9, First Law or Endvra. Digipak.

BASTARD NOISE - 'Our Earth's Blood, IV' 5 x CD Set
(Cathartic Process)
- £38 / £40 / £42 |
 |
First conceived in 1999, and intensively honed over the past four years, "Our Earth’s Blood, IV" is finally realized. Bastard Noise, aided by over two dozen artists from all over the world, have reached a true pinnacle with this brand new full-length release. Bastard Noise started alongside its power violence personality, Man Is The Bastard, in 1991. The 7" EP "Our Earth’s Blood" (1993) solidified the future of Bastard Noise, rooted in caveman electronics and venomous vocals by Eric Wood. This release encapsulates the "Our Earth’s Blood" tradition of over 15 years. "OEB IV" pulls together “Skull Servants” in collaboration of sound and fury: Azoikum, Andorkappen, Bizarre Uproar, Christian Bass, Clew Of Theseus, Culpis, Defektro, Emesis, Golem Gross, Government Alpha, Guilty Connector, Jay Randall & Agorophobic Nosebleed, Kelly Churko, Nyarlathotep, Oblong Box, Peacemaker, PWE, Rick Gribenas, Rotten Piece, Merzbow, Sickness, Surrounded, TN666 and Volition! 2nd edition of 720 copies in a die-cut cruciform package with spot-varnishing.

CLEW OF THESEUS - 'Meridian' CD
(Cathartic Process)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
"Meridian" is a dark and esoteric album, very focused, full of sounds at once harsh and ambient, with forceful drones and rich textures. Sounds were created with acoustic winds, electric guitar, analogue and junk synths and gritty electronics, mixed to create a foreboding atmosphere. Meridian was recorded in two weeks during the monsoon season of 2008. A careful study into the symbols inside the album show an obsession with elemental force and eternal power. Clew Of Theseus evokes images of furious storms, wiping the landscape of blight, bringing beautiful darkness in its wake.

CONTAGIOUS ORGASM & FLUTWACHT - 'Inspection Of 1 Hour' CD
(SSSM /
The Tourette Tapes)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
The latest volume of Contagious Orgasm's frequent collaborations, this time with prolific German act Flutwacht. "Inspection of 1 hour" starts off very scraping, noisy and harsh, and evolves slowly towards more drone-oriented and calmer material. It's only towards the last tracks that the poetic side of Contagious Orgasm shows up, when some charming piano lines provide the core of the collaboration. One of the noisiest and less collage-based release by C.O. in some years, which still manages to keep their usual quality level. Ltd x 300 copies in a sealed card sleeve.

CONTAGIOUS ORGASM & GOVERNMENT ALPHA - 'Heartstrings' CD
(SSSM)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Contagious Orgasm chose to measure himself to another leading artist of the Japanese Noise scene for this collaboration, and crosses swords with no less than Government Alpha on these "Hearstrings". Obviously noisier than Contagious Orgasm's usual works, but not as scorching as Government Alpha's solo output, "Heartstrings" is a very abrasive album, which still contains a good dose of the usual Contagious Orgasm spaciness and hallucinatory samples. A heavyweight in the Contagious Orgasm discography, but a solid one. Ltd x 500 copies in a gatefold digisleeve.

GREGORIO BARDINI & THIERRY JOLIF - 'Kantalon' CD
(The Eastern Front) - £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
Compositions and popular song of Brittany. "Kantalon" is an ancient Gaelic word, referring to chanting but also to the lessons that druids were teaching to their pupils. Lessons about events of the past, mainly sad events, stories of crimes, of battles, of loss. Bardini and Jolif tried to express the spiritual reality and complexity of those lyrics and melodies into their own musical field, as if those songs had travelled through time and had to pass through the filters of modern music (experimental, concrete, classical, free-jazz, industrial ... and so on) to reach our brains and instruments. Ltd x 500 copies in a 6-panel outsized gatefold.

NIELLERADE FALLIBILISTHORSTAR & GREEN ARMY FRACTION - 'Westerbotten' CD
(Cathartic Process)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
After Niellerade Fallibilisthorstar’s impressive full length albums, this collaborative release shows an even further development in their sound. This pairing with fellow Swedish act Green Army Fraction results in a massive, powerful sound. Their heavy use of cymbals and analogue electronics creates impressions that surpass harsh noise trappings, exceeding genre definitions or expectations. The sounds created reveal the magickal qualities of Metgumbnerbone or Coil, the dark psychedelic ambiance of The Stargazer's Assistant The Other Side of the Island or Wolf Eyes’ Black Wing Over the Sand, and the cacophony of The New Blockaders. Elaborately printed with metallic inks and packaged in a gatefold sleeve, along with a 16-page booklet.

The stunning new solo album from Arcana mastermind Peter Bjärgö!
The mentor of the Swedish band has put together a Dark Ambient jewel with pale insertions of other styles too, the most visible of these being the Ethno-Ambient sounding percussion resembling Dead Can Dance. It is a replica of what Brendan Perry is doing versus the notorious band he once was part of, that’s how this album can be seen versus the history of Arcana.

SUDDEN INFANT - 'Ear Wash' CD
(SSSM)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
More than a wash, it's a cleansing that Sudden Infant offer with this CD on Contagious Orgasm's SSSM label. This long-standing musician (and the "other" catholic boy in heavy leather) comes back with a raw, demented and at times tongue in cheek attack of noise, cuts and shouts. It's all pretty wild and freewheeling, contains what is probably the most disrespectful cover ever of Jacques Brel's "Ne me quitte pas". "...an original work of noise, which goes all
over the place and doesn't stay just in the areas of pure feedback
noise. Here an experienced noise artist is playing around and it
shows" (Vital Weekly).

TONY WAKEFORD - 'Not All Of Me Will Die' CD
(The Eastern Front)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Over 2000 years ago, the Roman poet Horace wrote the line "Non Omnis Moriar" ("Not All Of Me Will Die"). Its poignant defiance of human mortality and faith in the transcending power of art rings out down the ages, finding an echo in this new work from Tony Wakeford, founder of seminal English dark folk band Sol Invictus. Wakeford's 4th solo album commemorates the life and work of the Polish-Ukrainian Jewish poetess Zuzanna Ginczanka, executed by the Gestapo in Kraków in 1944. All of the album’s lyrics are based on Ginczanka’s verses.
As with his 2007’s "Into The Woods", Wakeford is joined by a range of guest musicians and vocalists, including avantgarde composer Susan Matthews and members of Orchestra Noir, Zunroyz and Sol Invictus. Ltd x 1000 copies.

"Mail" collaboration for Contagious Orgasm, this time with Holland's noise act Zyrtax. At times dreamy in the vein of the best Contagious Orgasm releases, at time scorching and heavy, this new album is one of the most complex and changing from Contagious Orgasm. Well produced, it fits well with the rest of this important act's discography, but still presents a new side of his art. Ltd x 500 copies in a gatefold digisleeve. |

Since that time it has progressed to its actual, very original music that can be described as avant-garde post black metal / ambient / folk. Founders Tamás Kátai and János Juhász invited nine other musicians as guests to record a very unusual 70-minute album. Hungarian male vocals are complimented by the beautiful ethereal female voice of guest singer Ágnes Tóth (The Moon and the Nightspirit). Ltd x 600 copies in a deluxe 8-panel digipak. |

WHITEHOUSE - 'Bird Seed' CD (Susan Lawly)
- £12 / £13 / £14
Whitehouse's transformational 2003 album following the release of the seismic "Wriggle Like A Fucking Eel", where they first shockingly employed all kinds of new technology, incorporating acoustic elements such as African djembes and doundouns for their sound, featured also on the extraordinary 'Cut Hands Has The Solution' and 'Munkisi Munkondi' (recently interpreted by the Berlin-based classical orchestra Zeitkratzer). William Bennet is here joined by Philip Best and Peter Sotos, with the title track recorded by Steve Albini. |
 |
WHITEHOUSE - 'Halogen' CD (Susan Lawly)
- £12 / £13 / £14
The 1994 release "Halogen" is the 12th album from Whitehouse. Recorded by Steve Albini in Chicago, written by William Bennet, Peter Sotos and Jim Goodall. "Here, William Bennett's industrial-strength power electronics unit is going once again over the threshold of noise in another challenging display of depravity via electronics. Few other groups have gone to such extremes in sonic punishment and general lyrical nastiness, proving once again Whitehouse should be considered far beyond the realms of the noise and industrial genres they were often lumped in with. Once again the group pushes the boundaries of acceptability in the media as we know it." (All Music Guide). Features disturbing colour artwork by Trevor Brown. |
 |
WHITEHOUSE - 'Mummy And Daddy' CD (Susan Lawly)
- £12 / £13 / £14
Third edition of Whitehouse's 1998 studio album. "The fainthearted should be warned of the recordings of Whitehouse. Noise music freaks will find even the most abrasive works of Merzbow, C.C.C.C., and the like to pale next to the extremity of these recordings... Fans of the group should know that this recording presents quite a departure from the analog sound of earlier works. In its place is an equally abrasive wall of digital noise made up of hammering beats and high-pitched drilling-tone punishment, over which the trademark dialogues of depravity and sickness are delivered in clipped distortion. An exercise in utter repulsion." (All Music Guide). The track 'Private' was produced by Steve Albini. Features luscious Trevor Brown artwork, a newly-remastered and updated 16pp booklet with all the lyrics plus photos and information. |
 |
WHITEHOUSE - 'Present... Birthdeath Experience' CD (Susan Lawly)
- £12 / £13 / £14
The place where it all began. The seminal first album by Whitehouse, recorded in London 1980. Raw and unpolished noise / industrial from the trio of William Bennett, Paul Reuter and Peter McKay. Even to this day "Birthdeath Experience" is a remarkable piece of work created entirely with tone generators and EDP Wasps, and lyrically full of what would be their uncompromising trademark irony. It would prove instrumental in dragging avant-garde electronic music a long way from its initially limited boundaries. Features the original LP cover artwork. |
 |
WHITEHOUSE - 'Racket' CD (Susan Lawly)
- £12 / £13 / £14
Whitehouse 2007 studio album of anthemic "afro noise to blow your fucking mind". Some great screaming, apocalyptic vocals by both Bennett and Best, taking on the deranged aspect seen in older tracks such as "Wriggle Like a Fucking Eel". With some instrumental and calm tracks amongst their renowned Power Electronics style, this is perhaps the most experimental and wildly diverse Whitehouse album yet, expanding their sonic palette and pointing towards a brave new future. 7 tracks. 16-page booklet with full lyrics and stunning artwork. |
