Shipping:
8th March
Former MAYHEM front man MANIAC, whose band SKITLIV has proved to be a surprising departure from the Black Metal genre for which he was best known for over 20 years, has formed a side-project with fiancé Vivian Slaughter, bass player/vocalist with the Japanese all-girl band GALLHAMMER, SKITLIV's guitarist Ingvar Magnusson and experimentalist Andrew Liles (NURSE WITH WOUND). Unlike SKITLIV, which is a noise/doom amalgam, with Maniacs vocals still firmly rooted in Black Metal, SEHNSUCHT is in the noise / darkwave / ambient genre, with any vestiges of Black Metal pared away. 6-panel digipak.

| SKITLIV | Bloodletting 10" Picture Disc (CSR115P) £10 / £12 / £14 |
 |
Shipping:
8th March
Limited edition Picture disc from SKITLIV, the project of former MAYHEM front man MANIAC.
With a line up that includes SHINING’s NIKLAS KVARFORTH, SKITLIV is a disturbed, and disturbing, blackened doom journey through the mind of this legendary Black Metal vocalist who was one of the original exponents of the genre, and is one of its most recognisable figures.
This picture disc is made extra special not only by the inclusion of “Who Will Deliver Us From Gold and Planets” by CURRENT 93 - an introductory collage destruct that was created at the request of Maniac and is dedicated to him, but also because the artwork that is used for the side containing this track is part of one of Tibet’s own paintings.
Ltd x 777 copies. No repress.

AKOUSTIK TIMBRE FREKUENCY - 'Kthonik Korridors' CD (ATF Produktions) - £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
The new album from ATF is a homage to H. P. Lovecraft. It is to be used as background atmospherics for rites dedicated to Cthulhu Mythos. Instrumentation includes singing bowls, flutes, rattles, synths and a large chunk of meat set upon with knives, machetes and a pitchfork. The result is a combination of acoustic and electronic textures that attempt to induce the listener into a receptive state of consciousness to be used as he or she sees fit. It is a sonic tool. Three compositions were named using cut-ups or 'The Call Of Cthulhu' by HPL, except the second composition, which was created as a soundtrack for the film 'Kalibration Of Thee Gods' by Madguten. Digipak.

ALBIREON - 'I Passi Di Liu' CD (Palace Of Worms) - £11 / £12 / £13 |

This is the third full-length of Italian project Albireon. Since 1998 Albireon have developed a heartfelt and clear sound with acoustic guitar and keyboards. They have previously collaborated with Vittorio Vandelli (Ataraxia), Ian Read (Fire + Ice) and Sonne Hagal. In 2008 Albireon completed the "I passi di Liù", their definitive emotional masterwork. This is an album of mournful laments, remembering a lost beloved one, and is led by Davide Borghi's solemn voice. This nostalgic, evocative work leans towards Ambient and Post-Rock sounds, with etheral moments and will appeal to fans of early Current 93.

ALLGRENA - 'Ursprung' CD
(Erdgut)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
"Allgrena is a project run by Austrian composer Franz Nigl circulating in spheres between ambient and industrial. Present album is the second effort from Allgrena, the first being "Tonräder" released on the same label in 1999. An important part of the textures is field recordings of metal-objects and similar industrial noises and drones. Favourite moment is the atmospheric piece titled "Wachsende ringe" that opens with dramatic flute-like high-freq sounds followed by echoed male speaks with distorted guitar and crushing noise-drones operating in the deeper levels. Generally the composer has a great balance between atmospheric textures and quite brutal moments of noise with elements of power electronics" (Vital Weekly). |
AMESTIGON - 'Lament' CD (Hau Ruck!)
- £11.50 / £12.50 / £13.50 |
 |
Finally, after more than 15 years of haunting existence, Amestigon releases its first full length album, the eagerly anticipated Black Metal masterpiece "Sun of all Suns". Amestigon stands for pure Austrian Black Metal Art. Thematically the album is located between the occult and ethics of cruelty, sociopathy and abuse. On this mission Amestigon is supported by Summoning's Silenius and Albin Julius (Der Blutharsch) as guest musicians. Be aware to dive into a world of penetrating pain! Digipak with 8-page booklet.

BURIAL HEX - 'Bagirwa Hymn' LP
(Von Archives)
- £15 / £18 / £21
|
 |
Two dense obscure messes, from one of the most sacred and funeral masters of the new mystics. A tribal funeral ode. This is great material from Burial Hex - alot more subtle and mature than his early material. Two side-long pieces of rather melodic ambient that turns more and more industrial as the pieces progress. Sometimes the changes are abrupt, sometimes more gradual, but always with nice detail. Ltd x 300 copies with a full-size insert. Italian import.

CHANGES - 'Lament' CD (Hau Ruck!)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
From Changes' inception, R. N. Taylor and Nicholas Tesluk have woven bardic tales of gallantry, chivalry and of larger-than-life legendary and mythical heroes. They've sung of new love, love unrequited and love lost. They've written songs foretelling a dark apocalyptic future, which later came to pass while currently prophesying a society in the seminal stages of an even darker fate. With their new album, "Lament", they turn their gaze inward, to their own personal apocalypses, stemming from their long marriages ending in dismal dissolution. Only by being able to immerse themselves in their art and create works expressing these sorrows would they be able to maintain their sanity. "Lament" reaches out to all who've had their lives disrupted by modern societal partners going through mid-life crises, becoming antagonistic strangers to their families overnight. Also included are new versions of three of Changes' earlier works; "The Saddest Thing", "Sweet Eve" and "Memorabilia". 13 tracks of Folk Noir. Guest: Axel Frank (Werkraum). Digipak with a 16-page booklet.

CIRCUS JOY - 'Laetitia' CD (Old Europa Cafe / Misty Circles)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Italian cult band featuring 2 ex-members of AIN SOPH as well as other well known musicians of the Roman underground. This CD is not only a sonic tribute to Pop-Art, or to the noise-psychedelic rock of Velvet Underground: it's a tribute to the recent and tragic departure of their friend and poet / singer, Letizia. "Laetitia" displays the two faces of Circus Joy: sensual, sick love ballads on one side and the crazy, electric, rides on the other. Circus Joy is a group of non-musicians, long time friends who come together to produce noise by experimenting and improvising with their instruments. Ltd x 500 copies. |

FOLKSTORM - 'Ortodox' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Screaming vocals, harsh analogue filter sweeps, pulsing distorted sines and squares... Folkstorm has never sounded this angry and mean. Maybe it is a reflection of the current state of things - regression, mass unemployment and a corrupt financial system about to implode. "Ortodox" is a return to the fine tradition of making music all analogue - no computers, no sequencers or modern trickery. A pure celebration of classic Swedish Industrial music, and a protector of values that are about to be lost.

ORCHIS - 'A Thousand Winters' CD
(Infinite Fog Productions)
- £13 / £14 / £15 |
 |
Orchis is an English Dark Folk / Esoteric band. Originally released in 1997 (Cryptanthus), "A Thousand Winters is an alchemical album based around the themes of life, death and the transmutation of the soul. The story of one part of Europe is extraordinarily like every other part; a thriving pagan culture that at first laughs in derision at the priests of the desert messiah, and then is slowly submerged by the rising tide of christianity until all that remains is folk memory and old tales and songs.
The music is mystical dark folk with a touch of late 60s English psychedelia, and one can probably draw parallels with the early works of In Gowan Ring or Psychic TV's "Allegory and Self" / "Trip Reset".
Presented in a 6-panel digipak with bronze print. Russian import.

PHRAGMENTS & KORINTH - 'Mysteries Of The Greylands' CD

- £11 / £12 / £13 |

On this album, Phragments and Korinth have united into one monolithic entity, to produce a common opus. Orchestral choirs, dark ambient and ritual passages create a perfect cinematic journey over the mysterious Greylands, an archetypal and symbolic travel through the hidden side of the world.

After three years of work, Phragments and Korinth deliver a ripe album - a great journey for the listener. 'Imagine a hidden side of the world, a landscape of archetypes and symbols. A place where reality becomes myth and myth becomes reality. Where repressed longings lurk, waiting to be awakened. Enter the Greylands.' Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

POST SCRIPTVM - 'Grey Eminence' CD
(Tesco Organisation)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
4th full-length offering from these masters of existential necro-industrial. "Grey Eminence" is a meditation on the clandestine forces labouring tirelessly to prevent humanity from achieving its ultimate spiritual goals. The lethargic torpors of ebbing and flowing analogue pulsations and textures, augmented with obscure samples, acoustic string and percussion instruments, alternate with violent hailstorms of rusted scrap metal, moans of apocalyptic machinery and serpentine invocations. Post Scriptvm creates bleak electronic music spanning a variety of post-industrial genres... eerie, hypnotizing death ambient structures to the visceral intensity of industrial noise, invoking surreal, Kafkaesque mental imagery as well as an overwhelming anguish of metaphysical horror. Mastered by Andreas Wanhmann (First Law). Digipak.

ROMA AMOR - 'Femmina' CD (Old Europa Cafe)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Second album by this intriguing Italian Noir-Cabaret project. 10 songs which celebrate the feminine dark side in all its guises. Italian and dialect lyrics, mostly inspired by female figures of Mediterranean folklore, that deal with the most hidden, sombre, melancholic and romantic aspects of the feminine universe. The aged music of old Europa, with its tango, waltz and cabaret motives, is the soundtrack and the vocalist sounds like she’s putting a lot of wear and tear on her throat in order to render the mood of these combative, bad, scary, deep passionate women. Warm latin music for late night listening. |
ROME - 'L'Assassin' MCD
(Trisol)
- £9 / £10 / £11 |
 |
The Assassin - Murder? Crime of passion? Rome's new 'Chanson Noir' speaks of man's enslavement in a world of constant transformation. The traditions of (French) Chanson and (American) Folk are becoming more influential in their current work. Chansonniers like Léo Ferré, Jacques Brel and singer / songwriter heroes like Cave, Cash and Cohen are obvious influences. This is the darker side of singer / songwriter tradition: post-industrial-folk with elements of Electro-Pop, complex arrangements of breathtaking melodies, mesmerising ballads of lyrical beauty, underlining Rome's ethos of never faltering or remaining uninvolved. Features four songs, among which the exclusive and intimate track "One Flesh", along with reinvented, "stringed" versions of two classic tracks "Der Erscheinungen Flucht' and 'Der Brandtaucher' (from "Masse Mensch Material"). Rome: unmasked, honest and authentic! Digipak. |
SANTA AGOSTINO - 'Operazione Paura' CD
(Greytone)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
SantAAgostino tell of the Noises from Beyond the Gate. They feel the return of those who died and are reborn more rotten and foul than before. "Operazione Paura is a total turning not just for the band but for dark ambient music and noise. SA is like a meteor crashing into Earth, disrupting balances, rhythms and cycles. After the crash the planet appears perished but, in the inner part, the new fire of life is burning. A brand new energy developed in a new way of living, thinking and being.
"Operazione Paura" speaks of filmic and horrorific fear, and all those mental factors that trap a man in the self-made cage of his own mind. "Operazione Paura" is a huge solitary desert, where sounds flow creating new monsters beyond space and time. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

SONNE HAGAL - 'Jordansfrost' LP

 |
Sonne Hagal’s second full-length album once more bestows the listener with a journey into the unknown realms of poetry, mysteries and enthralling melodies. Closely connected to Europa’s folk-music tradition and the Northern mysteries, the band develops song structures that reach from simple traditional arrangements to complex compositions. The songs, performed in German and English, reveal rediscovered poems as well as self-written lyrics. The atmosphere of the songs varies from intimate, quiet parts to fresher, light-hearted and lively sounds up to heavy distorted parts supported by real or electronic drums. Each song unfolds its own universe, interconnected by the central idea of “Jordansfrost”: the constant changing between light and darkness, the seasons or even life and death themselves. Guests: Of The Wand And The Moon, In Gowan Ring, Waldteufel, Ernte, Lux Interna, Darkwood and Black Sun Productions. Ltd x 500 copies with full colour inner sleeve.

THO-SO-AA - 'Identify' CD
(Tesco Organisation)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
After 7 years of development Tho-So-aa presents its latest masterpiece. This is the German outfit's most complex and dense album. Some tracks are made up of threatening collages and experimental loops... other tracks are surrounded by melancholic soundscapes and dark bass-drones inspired by desperation and total sadness. Lutz Rach has spent years working with sounds to create thick layers and drones that have never surfaced in his music before. This is no longer pure dark ambient music... it is enriched by industrial sounds, the experimental use of classical instruments, vocal samples and an overall cry against isolation. The dark soundscapes expose a cynical point of view on our sick society. It describes the unknown pressure to identify with yourself! Digipak.

Re-mastered and presented in a digisleeve with a new bonus track, 'Peacock Symphony', offering 2 and a half hours of music.

Reissue of the second album from Italians All My Faith Lost (with the original lineup of 4), originally issued on Sin.Org.

Water that can be rain, the water of a river or of a lake but can be also a tear.

The vocal parts are equally divided amongst male and female, creating a perfect balance between heavenly/frail and profound/dark atmospheres. Ltd x 1000 copies in a gatefold digisleeve. |

Following in the obscure steps of 'Evil Is Too Strong', the French apocalyptic war machine is back with more supreme symphonic and occult death music, more memorable destructive rhythms and entangled mentally insane orchestrations.

 |
MOLJEBKA PVLSE - 'Koan' CD
(Eibon Records)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Like in the good and old tradition of Maeror Tri or Final, this Swedish act headed by Mathias Josefson, brings us liquid dark ambient based upon manipulated guitars and e-bows. Clear but dark layered drones, swathed in heavy bass, and journeying through layers of rippling reverb. Needless to say, a very good late-night listen for those who like trips into sonic, haunted dreamworlds. |

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. |

PSYCHOPHYSICIST - 'Psychophysicists' CD
(Side Effects)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Psychophysicist is the fruit of an ambitious collaboration between Adi Newton (Clock Dva, TAGC) and Andrew McKenzie (The Hafler Trio), two giants in the field of electronic music. Psychophysics was developed by Gustave Fechner, who believed that science and technology had made man materialistic and indifferent to spiritual matters. The recordings on this CD are aimed to stimulate and aid the expansion of consciousness and relaxation of physiological tensions. Our aim was to create a recording which could be used for these purposes. This is the true aim of psychophysics, the attainment of body and spirit. Edited by Adi Newton and dark ambient legend Brian Lustmord.
