7th May
TenHornedBeast’s third album for Cold Spring was recorded from 2006-2009. This album introduces subtle changes to the established THB sound with delicate interludes separating longer tracks that rage with heavy distortion and doom-drone barbarism. “Hunts & Wars” progresses the established THB sound using leaden, sub-tuned bass guitar to create rhythms and riffs that dominate a battlefield of vast ritual percussion and droning walls of electric dissonance, creating epic and expansive textures that by turns burn with frost and freeze with fire. Influenced by the oneiric visions of Robert E Howard and Lord Dunsany. "Hunts & Wars” seeks to evoke the elemental, anti-modern fantasias of these writers and is presented in a 6-panel digipak designed by graphic designer Kevin Yuen (Sunn O))), Wolves In The Throne Room) to its full grotesque glory.
The days have come when the steel will rule. Titans arise, monuments fall. Ballads of victory and defeat are sung aloud as from the highest steps we are swept on to the eternal Hunts and Wars.

Shipping:
Now
The tracks on "Daas" have been carefully picked to form a provoking, haunting journey. What the tracks have in common is a sense of nostalgic graininess. As with the music of Philip Jeck, The Caretaker or William Basinski, these tracks are full of degrading melodies and dusty ambience. 'Daas' is the previously unreleased opening track of the album, and features contributions by the great Richard Skelton. 'Flotter', 'Koploop' and 'Grom' were previously available on small run self released EPs, while 'Onkruid' was a track previously released on 'A Room Forever', as an expensive and extremely limited 12" boxset. All are now brought to a wider audience. Presented in a matt laminate digipak.

APOPTOSE - 'Bannwald' CD (Tesco Organisation) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
On a Friday in September many years ago 3 girls went into a large forest in northern Germany. They never returned. Apoptose followed their path into the woods and listened closely to the voices whispering among the trees. "Bannwald" reflects the girls' journey to a realm of witchcraft, fairy-tales and ancient goddesses. Here in the green twilight of rustling leafs and crackling twigs nothing is as it seems and reality is covered by a thick layer of autumn foliage. The term "Bannwald" bears a double meaning: On one hand it stands for a protected woodland where nobody is allowed to cut trees or even to enter. On the other hand "Bann" is an ancient word for ban or spell. After the urban nightmares of "Schattenmädchen", Apoptose come back to the northern wilderness once more, the home of their first album "Nordland". On "Bannwald" they join forces again to invoke the spirits of moss-covered stones and hidden glades. Comes in a superb spot-varnished 8-panel digisleeve, with a booklet and a separate CD sleeve. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

AUN - 'Utica' 7" (Drone Records) - £7 / £8 / £9 |
 |
Harmonic distortion-drones of a higher beauty; Martin Dumais' AUN is the rising drone-star from the active Montreal-scene! The sound of Aun is a marriage between very harmonic / emotional drones and distorted machine-power, between sensibility and noise-strength, usually based on guitar sound-sources. The two pieces here show his melancholic side, and are of a lighter, more luminous nature. The material on the A-Side ("Utica") is still very expansive and builds an impressive suspense curve, but the B-Side "Lelehudah" is full of touching and yearnful harmonic structures, a majestic dance of polyphonic overtones. First edition of 300 copies on white vinyl in hand-assembled covers with insert.

Call it metal ambient, drone metal or electronics metal, the result is something previously unknown and exciting. Hear Nurse With Wound doing one of their darkest tracks ever, listen to Controlled Bleeding's totally insane restructuring of a rock track, or be surprised by Nocturnal Emissions's return to noise - this album is unlike everything else you have heard in recent years. Features: Ali Helnwein, Andrew Liles (2 tracks), Asmus Tietchens, Colin Potter, Controlled Bleeding, Gjöll, Holy McGrail, Nurse With Wound, Nocturnal Emissions (3 tracks), Product 8 and Thighpaulsandra.

Calling themselves "Umbrella Noize Collective", they live to the: "Law of Liberty as laid out in Liber AL vel Legis". "Duad" is their first vinyl release and uses pumping drones, field recordings, guitars, metallic effects and a kind of very harmonic cembalo instrument. The two tracks develop in a lovely way; from pure ambience to noise and back. The same use of beautiful harmonics and noise-drones creates quite a special atmosphere. File under Thelemic Light Drones and Drone Lights. First edition of 300 copies on superb gold marbled vinyl in hand-made covers with insert.

The legend of the Polish industrial scene returns with 10 hypnotic, beautiful songs in the trance / ritual style of Different State. "Sometimes the world rejects us: alienation, isolation. It happened to me. I was looking for a source to figure myself out. I decided to check myself into a clinic for people who are addicted to drugs and have psychological problems. This wasn’t easy for me, as the state of my existence throws shadow. Everything was binding me. I talked to my doctor about needing electronic equipment to make samples and music. Basically I was lonely but I knew I could record some unconventional sound. I made samples of everything in my cell: metal bed, sink, plates, A/C, wood floor, guards… everything that surrounded me. When I got out, I had a picture of what I would do with the recordings. In my recording studio in Lindenhurst, Long Island, I joined together all the sounds plus analogues to create esoteric and unique music." 6-panel digipak.

EYELESS IN GAZA - 'Summer Salt & Subway Sun' CD (Ambivalent Scale) - £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Originally, the intention was to put together a double album, centering around an escalated excitement with the idea of cities as new, blank texts – contrasted with the kind of sense of alienation and loss evoked in such works as J.G. Ballard’s Concrete Island. "Summer Salt & Subway Sun" works as a kind of survival or synthesis of these ideas. It neatly encapsulates two key aspects of the music Eyeless in Gaza (Martyn Bates & Peter Becker) are presently creating - a balance of atmospheric / acoustic material and sprawling, rhythmic / semi-improvised spidery electric pieces. This has resulted in a blend of song based material juxtaposed with a distinctive brand of kaleidoscopic, “cityscaping” filmic music. Eyeless In Gaza continue to display a characteristic fierce independence of style and attitude. Ltd x 1000 copies.

HOARFROST Vs INNER VISION LABORATORY - 'Decline' CD (Zoharum)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Both Hoarfrost and Inner Vision Laboratory are young Polish projects, but it would be an understatement to call them 'new comers', with each project already having a few releases under their belt. "Decline" is a tale of descending into the pits of madness in 8 parts. Inspired by two poems, 'Madman' and 'Modern Icarus,' "Decline: takes you on a journey into the realms of dark thoughts. With such a clear concept, it's no wonder that the music is cinematic, slowly building images in the listener's head. Face the stillness, but remember: something is lingering in the corner. For fans of cinematic ambient like Moljebka Pvlse, Inade, Lambwool, Tho-So-Aa, Land etc. Released in a 6-panel digipak.

JIM O'ROURKE - 'Happy Days' CD (Revenant) - £15 / £16 / £17 |
 |
This CD marked the debut of a new label piloted by John Fahey, in 1997. His first solo disc since 1995, Happy Days pits a lone acoustic guitar against a phalanx of hurdy-gurdies, a decided shift away from the composer's electronic-based work. O'Rourke's working relationships with Tony Conrad and John Fahey each find new resonance in this hybrid of early American minimalism and steel string guitar. A totally mesmerising 48 minute work, indebted to the aforementioned mentors, but uniquely forging into all new territory. One of '97's most explosive pieces of music. Possibly the most engaging piece of music we've ever heard! Digipak. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! RARE! Very few in stock - ACT FAST!!

KALLABRIS - 'Music For Very Simple Objects' 10 " (Substantia Innominata / Drone Records)
- £12 / £14 / £16 |
 |
Maybe the most mysterious and thought-provoking German experimental project with recordings derived from field recordings so bizarre it's difficult to find any words for it! This work features very short sequences of concrete sounds, arranged in a structural and temporal way that the "known reality" is placed in a new frame and context, thus making it possible that the world behind may become "visible" through our acoustic senses. What is usually familiar is suspended in order to make new experiences. The acoustic elements have been configured in a certain causal formation which is not consciously perceivable within the phenomenal order. The phenomenon hides the principle & substance of the sound-pieces. Limited to 500 copies on fluorescent green coloured vinyl, with a full colour sleeve designed by Andreas Mal Hoeschen.• All Kallabris Titles • All 10" Vinyl

MELANCHOHOLICS - 'Masking My Monkeys' 7" (Drone Records) - £7 / £8 / £9 |
 |
This German trio Melanchoholics work on dark guitarish and very filmic sound-drones, "thick atmospheric darkness" at its best. With a background rooted in Death Metal and Grindcore as well as in Industrial, they still use guitar, bass and electronic sounds, but their aim is to explore the realms of loneliness and melancholy by sculpting almost filmic atmospheres with not much aggression. Their first vinyl release is filled with beautiful accordion drones, desert-like guitars, electronic sounds and voice-samples, thus enlarging the "classic" drone sound in a very fruitful way. First edition of 300 copies on dark blue vinyl in silk-screened covers (various colours) with insert.

MUSLIMGAUZE - 'Citadel' CD (Extreme) - £14 / £15 / £16 |
 |
MUSLIMGAUZE construct the music through ethnic instruments that are a frame for dark and sometimes foreboding aural tapestries that capture the essence and mood of the music of the Middle East and the plight of the Palestinian people. "Citadel" is an album of exotic Arabic textures where traditional instruments intermesh with technology, found sounds and voices meld with drones and synthesizers. The album uses both eastern and western rhythmic patterns embedded in the layers of shifting soundscapes. MUSLIMGAUZE produces raga music for the technological post-cyber age by shifting cultures out of ancient history into the current day, transcending those traditional forms. "Citadel" has a voice of what is now and perhaps what is to come. In these troubled political times, peace through people unified in harmony while maintaining their own strength and cultural identity is a vision to strive towards. RARE!!

MUSLIMGAUZE - 'United States Of Islam' CD (Extreme) - £14 / £15 / £16 |

The melding of MUSLIMGAUZE has been a vision of Arabia, taking ethnic instruments and melding their sounds into our culture. Layers of percussion produce entrancing rhythms, weaving a path through dense and sparse textures that evoke a country full of mystique and conflict. For over sixty minutes the tempo and mood shift effortlessly to carry the listener on a hypnotic journey. The pounding bass drum continues relentlessly, uncompromisingly, as it beats for a modern cause. Muslimgauze continues to create intricate and subtle rhythms embedded in moving atmospheres which express universally the situation in Arabic lands, now highlighted by the Gulf conflict. The plight of these people will always need a voice. That voice is the music of Muslimgauze. RARE!!

SKROL - 'Insomnia Dei' CD (RRRecords / Chromosome)
- £9 / £10 / £11 |
 |
The Industrial side of Vladimir Hirsch. "This Czech project composes industrial music in the purest tradition of the ancestors! It makes me think to a kind of hybrid between the symphonic tunes of Test Dept and the oppressive, bombastic rhythms of Laibach and Swans! From start on, you get surrounded by powerful industrial blasts leaded through the screaming propaganda-vocals, which still remind to Test Dept and Laibach! I feel like diving back in the golden 80s decade of industrial music... This is a must have for all industrial tasters and definitely one of my favorite releases in the industrial style for quite a long time!" (Side-Line).

The masters of consequent noise and anti-art! Latest pressing with cut & paste artwork in a PVC sleeve.

The second LP in the RRR Foley Artist Series. Another great noise-wall record from The Rita (Sam McKinlay). Two sound sources, one for each side. Because each side is a completely separate sound source, lets consider it a split LP - most notably the youtube hit " amplified & effected skateboard ledge/railing" (exactly what the title implies; a skateboarder grinding on a contact-mic’ed rail, processed through electronics in real-time) - plus a piece based around recordings of a "shark feeding frenzy".• All The Rita Titles • All LP /12" Vinyl |

Debut album from a band many of you will recognise from our award winning compilation "John Barleycorn Reborn". Tinkerscuss are an English folk duo comprised of sisters Bryony and Erin Holden. "Nine Trees" features an enchanting combination of rich vocals (sung in English, Gaelic and Cornish), acoustic guitar, mandola, harp, shruti box, accordion, violin and viola. Weaving a musical path to the twilight world of dreams. "There’s a growing force in folk that’s steadily developed in the South-West. That force is Tinkerscuss... Each song fits into the whole as the trees fit the forest and the grass the meadow. This is fey folk with fire... “Nine Trees” stays with you from the first hearing. It sheds a pale light on the far dark side of mystical while exploring the wild reaches of nature’s cyclic death and resurgence." (Folkwords).

Seven Directions Divergent pays homage to some of the diverse musical sources that have influenced us over the years from traditional Sanskrit chants to Steve Hillage to cute Euro pop to shamanic transcendence. This is an ambitious project melding many different sources together with the ethereal beauty and yearning magnificence you expect from Voice of Eye. This CD transports the listener along a narrative history of our personal journeys of change and transformation as told through the medium of sound". Mastered by Jon Gold. Digipak with beautiful full colour artwork by Jim Wilson.

ANENZEPHALIA -
'Ephemeral Dawn' CD (Tesco Organisation) - £11 / £12 / £13
Released 1996 in an edition of 750 copies, "Ephemeral Dawn" is finally available again - now presented in a digipak with booklet. Brilliant brain numbing Power Electronics from this infamous German act. 64 minutes of thick electronics, droning waves, distant echoing vocals, subtle rhythmic loops, rumbling basses and some higher piercing frequencies. |
 |
ARTEFACTUM -
'Sub Rosa' 7" (Drone Records) - £7 / £8 / £9
The first vinyl release of the enchanting Polish act Artefactum. Described by herself as "Female Esoterica", "Sub Rosa" opens a vast space filled with different sounds coming from very far away, as nebulous melodies, whispers, voices and choirs, little clicks and cracks, with soft percussive structures appearing on Side B. The two pieces named "Rosa Alba" and "Rosa Rubea" (white & red rose) have a strong metaphorical alchemistic background, meaning the end point of all alchemistic transmutations. The overall release including the beautiful artwork gives the impression of an almost fabulous acoustic fantasy, so refined and almost caressing yet secretive at the same time. Second edition of 300 copies on pink vinyl with insert, in a handmade cover with decoratively cut corners. |
 |
DIFFERENT STATE & SIGILL -
'Spazmatic(k) Spell' CD (Zoharum)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
This album, dedicated to Austin Osman Spare, includes 60 minutes of pure magickal sounds, conceived by Different State and Sigill. Each of them represents a slightly different approach, although they are both connected by mystical, alchemical, ritual characteristics. Marchoff (Different State) describes his music as alchembient - a mix of illbient, a great deal of alchemical incantations and moans. Sigill is a project consisting of Brat Salo and Nantur; a duo creating electronic lunar spaces and astral soundscapes using samples and ancient instruments. The material was conceived during winter solstice 2006. Issued in a stunning 6-panel glossy digipak. |

HUM -
'The Spectral Ship' 10 " (Substantia Innominata / Drone Records)
- £12 / £14 / £16
Two great new pieces by this Russian artist, most sensible and emotional drone-ambience, a graceful dance of acoustic reflections and resonances. "Spectral Ship" and "Tidal Fire" appear like universal mantras, revealing the basic HUM of the universe. These works seem to represent perfectly the concept of the "Substantia" series: Sound that exists but which is not originating from the impact of two subjects in contact. Sound that is simply "there", with no beginning or ending. Limited to 500 copies on silver coloured vinyl, with a full colour sleeve designed by Daniel Crokaert / Mystery Sea. |

IN SCISSORS -
'Orbis Terrarum Requiem' CD (Zoharum)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
"Orbis Terrarum Requiem" ("The Earth's Requiem") is a requiem for the destruction that has befallen Earth / Nature inflicted by humans. It describes a world deserted and the only inhabitants are life forms that used to dwell beneath the Earth's surface even long before the Nature's fall and they still do after it. iN sCissorS’ philosophy about music is to create every time a different realm or dimension in which it’s taking place. For fans of Sanctum, Mental Destruction, Bisclaveret and Dead Man's Hill. Digipak. |

MERZBOW -
'Age Of 369 / Chant 2' 2 x CD (Extreme)
- £18 / £19 / £20
"Age of 369" was originally released on cassette in 1984. The lesser known "Chant 2" is also from this period and complements the sonic intensity of the other. Of further importance is the influence of Maurizio Bianchi (MB) and the mail art that was integral to the industrial underground. These reissues document significant works from Japan's Noise master. Made with a cheap tape recorder and a lot of tape loops, which were then manipulated by hand. "Lowest Music 2" was a very early example of that. Then Merzbow mixed more tape loops with more harsh noise. "Age of 369" (Mlroku No Yo) and "Chant 2" are the finest early examples of that. The Japanese title of "Age of 369" was inspired by the Omoto Cult, founded by Onisabura Degughi. The double CD re-release of "Age of 369" (miroku No Yo) and Chant 2" combines both the music and the Mail Art of this period and is a fitting document of Merzbow In 1984. Australian import. EXTREMELY RARE! ACT FAST! |

MERZBOW -
'Batztoutai With Material Gadgets' 2 x CD (RRRecords)
- £12.50 / £13.50 / £14.50
4th (?) pressing of this double disc, originally released in a plastic box in 1993. Classic analogue noise from THE master of Japanese Noise. Subtitled "De-Composed Works 1985-86", this is a remixed version of an earlier release of these recordings, with a second disc of cut-ups from various records. Very similar to early period (79-85) Merzbow. This edition comes in the regular RRR stickered sleeve with cut & paste artwork. |
 |
MSBR -
'Destructive Locomotion - Dedicated To Chizuo Matsumoto' CD
(RRRecords)
- £9 / £10 / £11
M.S.B.R. (the late Koji Tano), was one of the most respected noise artists to emerge from Japan's vibrant noise/experimental music scene of the 1990's. Like Merzbow, MSBR's crushing wall of noise managed to tap into a post-human territory of pure absolute volume that seems to have more in common with the unstoppable forces of nature than any form of music. 50 minutes of music. Originally released in 1995, this is the latest pressing with cut & paste artwork in a PVC sleeve. |

PHELIOS -
'Astral Unity' CD (Malignant Records)
- £11 / £12 / £13
Third album from Germany's revered dark ambient project Phelios, following two CDs on Eternal Soul and a recent split LP on Loki Foundation with Kammarheit. With its swirling cosmic drones and sweeping, cinematic drift, the music of Phelios is breathtaking and hypnotic, often evoking moments of serenity and beauty, yet spiking them with deep cushions of ritualistic percussion and textural squalls that suggest something much more ominous and threatening looms on the vast horizon. Collectively, "Astral Unity" is thoughtful and concise - a vivid and richly detailed entity that's alive and constantly evolving, channeling the universe while simultaneously exploring the inner regions of a more primordial earth. 6 panel digipak, with gold foil stamping. |
 |
SEWER GODDESS -
'With Dirt You Are One' CD (Black Plagve)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Following numerous cassette and vinyl releases, "With Dirt You Are One" represents the first CD-proper release from this Boston based cult project and officially kicks off the return of Malignant side label, Black Plagve. 9 tracks of wretched, filth ridden, post mortem electronics, spewing forth a barrage of unclean frequencies, skuzzy reverberations, blackened drones, and anguished, inhuman vocalizations. Filled with negativity and dread, this is a hellishly grim and visceral assault, and essential listening for anyone into the darker, more depraved side of heavy electronics. Ltd x 500 copies. |
 |
SOLANACEAE -
'Solanaceae' CD (Hiderunar Myrkrunar)
- £11.50 / £12.50 / £13.50
Solanaceae is the creation of Danish artist Kim Larsen, which portrays a more psychedelic folk feeling than usually put forth in his Neofolk project Of The Wand & The Moon. However the unmistakable voice and songwriting is still Larsen's, which probably leaves this album as close to an OTWATM album without being that. 13 songs with themes of magick, woods and mysteries, mainly written and performed by Larsen with kind help and appearances by Chelsea Robb (Arrowwood), Pythagumus Marshall (Novemthree), Michael Laird (Unto Ashes), John van der Lieth (Sonne Hagal), Fenella Overgaard (Of The Wand & The Moon), Vincent Farrow (Solblot) and Anne Eltard (who appeared on the first OTWATM album). Digipak. |

SUTCLIFFE JÜGEND -
'Live Assault 01' CD
(RRRecords)
- £9 / £10 / £11
Recorded at Sutcliffe Jügend's first official live action after 20 years of existence - Hinoeuma Malediction at the Red Rose Club, London, August 2005. 30 minutes of hard and high-pitched Power Electronics, much in the vein of Whitehouse, Consumer Electronics, etc. Latest pressing with cut & paste artwork in a PVC sleeve. |
 |
TOTAL -
'Glassy Warhead' CD (RRRecords)
- £9 / £10 / £11
2nd edition of this crucial 1995 artifact from Total, another killer project from Matthew Bower (Skullflower, Hototogisu, Sunroof!). This full length sports four looong tracks of sky rupturing freeform guitar noise and chunky ear-shredding amp feedback that swirl together into thick, churning, blackened drones, dreamy hums and harsh noise storms. This definitely ranks among Bower's more brutal jams, with much of the album sounding like a gang of massively distorted electric guitars battling mutant vacuum cleaners in a brutal, cathartic mass of crushing jet-engine roar. Awesome seminal guitar / feedback noise that shakes buildings. Features Philip Best (Whitehouse) on violin for one track. On the RRR Pure imprint with cut & paste artwork in a PVC sleeve. |
 |
TROUM -
'Ryna'
CD
(Transgredient)
- £11 / £12 / £13
This is the much-welcomed re-release of Troum's debut album, first released in an edition of 500 copies on Myotis Records in October 1998. "Troum is the next step in the evolution of Maeror Tri, taking the highly processed guitar ambiance of their previous venture and channeling it through a more tumultuous, volatile outlet... The general feel of the sounds here is reminiscent of the earth moving, tectonic plates in constant shuffle, the tracks building and then either shifting or worn away via attrition. It's as if Maeror Tri learned to fly through ingenuity, smoke and mirrors, while Troum has taken the ingenuity, smoke and mirrors and, somehow, grown wings." (Side-Line). Presented in a stunning digipak. |
 |
TROUM -
'Symbiosis'
3" CD
(Transgredient)
- £7 / £8 / £9
Entirely based on guitars, containing solo-tracks by each member of the band, Glit[s]ch and BarakaH (ex-Maeror Tri), in order to create personal creative spheres that melt into one at the same time.
From short emotional guitar-fragments to fields of majestic static ambience up to mysterious minimal pieces. 3" CD inside a card sleeve with banderole. |
