ANNI HOGAN | Mountain CD / DVD DualDisc (CSR132CD) £14 / £15 / £16

Shipping: 13th June
An artistic collaboration between musicians Anni Hogan, Robert Strachan and Itchy Ear, film maker Bob Wass and mountaineer Cathy O'Dowd. Hogan and Itchy Ear originally worked on a series of piano pieces inspired by Rene Daumal's 'Mount Analogue' and the superior wisdom of mountains, using O'Dowds Himalayan conquests for particular authentic inspiration. Robert and Anni used these pieces and the Himalayan peaks as a template for painting a soundwave soundscape around the piano compositions. O'Dowd performed a fascinating monologue over the piece 'Deathzone'. The 'Mountain' film was created by Bob Wass from Cathy's original film footage of her Everest expeditions.

SKULLFLOWER | Fucked On A Pile Of Corpses CD (CSR151CD) £8 / £9 / £10

Shipping: 13th June
The most remorseless, brutal Skullflower ever! Alternating between granular lo-fi primitive rock and granular lo-fi primitive Power Electronics, this taut disc is a chain mail glove of hate to any lazy minds who've tainted the air with describing Skullflower as 'psychedelic'. But that's not to say this is an all out total assault. There are also moments of tender acoustic balladry, its just that they don't exist. The remorseless brutal sound is primitive, but as detailed and rich as a blood soaked medieval canvas, somewhere betwixt The Rita and Clandestine Blaze, but more brutal!

EMME YA | Atavistic Dreams & Phallic Totems CD (CSR151CD) £8 / £9 / £10

Shipping: 13th June
40 minutes of dense astral emanations and magickal paradigms transmitted through the ritual mantras generated by Emme Ya.
Based on the mysterious African Dogon tribe and their secret oral tradition. In the 1930s two anthropologists gained their trust enough to be told these remarkable secrets. The Dogon seemed to possess advanced astronomical knowledge beyond their means, without any instruments, revealing hidden stars Sirius B and Sirius C, so invisible they were only discovered by scientists with advanced imaging in 1970 and 1995. The Dogon say that their information was given to their ancestors through contact with beings from the star system of Sirius, calling these beings Nommos or ‘the monitors of the universe’.

ANIMAL MACHINE - 'Disposable Masochrist Doll' SINGLE SIDED 12" (None)
- £11 / £14.50 / £18

Great vinyl from this Polish Noise act. Originally released on a very limited tape in 2010 (Invaginity, Ltd x 30). Three devastating cuts of white noise, dynamic harshness, masses of low frequencies and cut-up noise, sometimes giving way to electronic driftscapes, overflowing with frenetic pulses. For fans of MSBR, Aube etc. Ltd x 100 copies on white marbled vinyl with transparent plastic insert inside a thick PVC sleeve with inserts and sticker.

All LP/12" Vinyl

DIVISION S - 'Something To Drink To V' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £11 / £12 / £13

Division S' second CD and the fifth chapter in the “Something to Drink” saga. A new treasure of minimal Noir-Cabaret with Mediterranean sounds, with Rock’n’Western saloon melodies, with vintage style hits dealing with 60’s like sounds. Songs to be listened while drinking a good Italian red wine and smoking an unfiltered cigarette. Songs for nostalgic rainy days and for summer sunsets. Songs for lovers and those suffering broken hearts. Songs for drunken and dandy urban cow-boys and cow-girls. “Something to Drink V” continues where the last album ended, from the last drink, from the last glass of whine… “Alla Salute!” A5 sleeve.

EIBON / HKY - 'Split' 7" (Music Fear Satan) - £6.50 / £7.50 / £8.50

Just after releasing their first efforts - HKY "S/T" on Music Fear Satan in 2009 and Eibon "Entering Darkness" on Aesthetic Death in 2010 - the two French acts team up to offer new and exclusive sludge / doom metal tracks! File next to Corrupted, Neurosis etc. Ltd x 500 copies with insert.

All HKY TitlesAll 7" Vinyl

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

Folkstorm returns with another crushing assault on your senses! This time Nordvargr pushes the sound even further and adds a more classic song structure and vocals to the album - hence the title. While still maintaining a harsh old-school industrial vibe, these recordings take Folkstorm to a whole new level. Explore the wrath of a man seriously pissed off with everyone and everything. Don't lose the chance to taste the new Folkstorm Combat Folk-Pop(?)!

All Folkstorm Titles

MUERAN HUMANOS - 'Mueran Humanos' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £11 / £12 / £13

Mueran Humanos ("Silver") is a great new project from Argentina. Their seductive dirge sounds like the missing link between La Dusseldorf and a female singing Suicide performing a macabre tango, like black raven wings spreading from a shadowy corner in your messy bedroom, dark bliss palpitates alluring hidden inside a shroud of cobwebs. A band for days of torrential rain and wind whistling malevolent against the rattling windows of the decaying Victorian manor where we dwell despondent. A funereal march across the long empty corridors of a Berlin apartment where time and space stretch supernatural like the shadows hiding Catherine Deneuve’s nightmares in Repulsion. Surrealist hallucinations, cruel razorblades slice shiny eyeballs, not nice, but beautiful.

ROCK-A-ROLLA - 'Issue #31' Magazine - £5 / £7.50 / £10

Rock-A-Rolla 31 features Pittsburg prog-rock / ethereal / experimentalists Zombi. There are also interviews with James Johnston (Faust, Gallon Drunk, Bad Seeds), Blood Ceremony, Explosions In The Sky, Young Widows, Orthodox, Liturgy, Mamiffer, Grayceon, Hexvessel, Weedeater and Bloodiest. This month's Label Focus is on Denovali. Also included is the usual vast selection of news, music, DVD and live reviews from the avant-rock, metal, noise and experimental scenes. Highly recommended!

All Rock-A-Rolla Issues All Magazines

SATANISMO CALIBRO 9 - 'Orgasmurder' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £11 / £12 / £13

Satanismo Calibro 9's first CD proper, "Orgasmurder", has been produced conjuring Vau-Ael in order to give you visions of violent pleasures and extreme knowledge. Satanismo Calibro 9 gives birth to its most morbid, solemn and visionary recording, a maelstrom in front of which your staring eyes will find Wisdom and Hell. Analogue pulsations, livid distortions, reversed vocal samples and piercing electronics are combined with some of the darkest and most evocative results since the days of the legendary L.A.Y.L.A.H. scene. Their music still gives meaning to the term "death industrial", but without being too retro. Infernal Industrial influenced by MZ. 412. Comes in a slimline DVD case.

SOL - 'Offer Thy Flesh To The Worms' CD (Ván Records) - £11 / £12 / £13

Third full-length from this Danish act, created by Emil Brahe.  A departure from their normal funeral doom / death metal sound, "Offer Thy Flesh To The Worms" is a predominantly acoustic dark drone album. A haunting experiment to create the atmosphere of SOL via acoustic instruments. Ltd x 300 copies in a textured black digifile with silver print.

SPIRACLE - 'Evestrum' 7" (Drone Records) - £7 / £8 / £9

THE LAST EVER DRONE EP! Spiracle is the project of Japanese artist Hitoshi Kojo. On this, the first Spiracle vinyl release, two pieces of sublime Drone-Muzak are placed, mesmerizing and mind-expanding sonic clouds. The two tracks are "focused on the physicality and the osmosis of the sound" as Hitoshi describes it. The acoustic source material comes from a glass harp, resonated trumpets, metal sheets and electronics. A kind of sonographical report of a process that a "subtle spiritual existence merges into a physical body and becomes tangible through the senses." First edition of 300 copies on transparent vinyl in a handmade sleeve made of cotton wool, gauze, thread and special paper.

All 7" Vinyl

VOICE OF EYE - 'Anthology Two 1992-1996' 2 x CD (Transgredient) - £15 / £16 / £17

Rare and unreleased tracks from the U.S. dark ethno/drone cult-project, all re-mastered by Voice Of Eye themselves. You will find here: the famous "Sprocket" 7" for Drone Records (1994), the lost mCD for ND that was never released (1995), rare compilation tracks (some of them never came out), plus a complete, fantastic rehearsal for a live show (1996) and an extract from Tryst 8 (split MC with BIG CITY ORCHESTRA, 1995). Comes in a nice 6-panel digipak with artwork by Bonnie McNairn.

High quality white t-shirt featuring the rare 1972 cover of William Burroughs' cult book "The Wild Boys".

WYRM - 'Divination Bones / Adam Coils' 7" (Drone Records) - £7 / £8 / £9

Excellent abstract drone-experimentalism by this mysterious project by the long active Allan Zane, feat. Liz Lang (Auracene). This is second, extended, revised and complete version of both tracks previously released as a 7" picture disc. Zane describes the sound as a construction of aural amalgamations of genres now often referred to as "dark ambient" and experimental "electronica". Layered subdued drones with e-bow and repetitive structures. Second edition of 400 copies on silver vinyl.

All 7" Vinyl

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Collaborations Between Bishop Allen, The Microphones, Golden Boots
And Paleo And A 1940's Wire Recorder' 7" (Altvinyl / People In A Position To Know /
Lost Sound Tapes
) - £8 / £9 / £10

These songs were recorded live to a 1940’s Webster Wire Recorder. Wire recorders were originally invented in the late 1800’s and recorded sound to a hair-thin strand of stainless steel wire. This was the predecessor to magnetic tape as a recording medium. The wire is extremely fragile and fickle, and the machine itself adds certain audio elements to the recording; pitch shifts, bleed over from previous recordings on the reused wire, a clanking sound from the cylinders turning, tonal colorings and distortions, etc. These elements very much colour and contribute to the recordings. Therefore, this record is considered a “collaboration” between the artists and this antiquated machine. Ghostly and disconcerting but also uplifting…a unqiue record. Ltd x 600 copies on grey marbled vinyl, with a different design per record label (200 of each - this is the altvinyl edition) plus an insert.

DEATH IN JUNE - 'Symbols & Clouds - Euro Cross Commemorative Edition'
2 x CD Boxset (NERUS / Soleilmoon) - £90 / £100 / £110

Double CD in stone box with round cards, silver runes and cloth patch. This very special soapstone and lazer-engraved granite release assembles onto one CD the best of 1992’s "But, What Ends When The Symbols Shatter?" and 1995’s "Rose Clouds Of Holocaust" albums plus two rare single tracks from the same period, generally considered one of the high points in Death In June’s career. It also includes a second CD featuring re-recorded, stripped-back acoustic "Totenpop" versions of 15 of these classics, recorded shortly after the final tour in June 2005 and mixed and produced in December 2008. Accompanying the music in the Euro Cross is a camouflage brown Runic Whiphand 6 cloth patch, four double-sided full color information cards featuring rare and unseen photos from the time, and four different silver Rune pendants, each approximately 18 mm in height representing Birth, Life, Destiny and Joy. Ltd x 1000 copies. STUNNING ITEM - ACT FAST!

FOLKSTORM - 'Archive Series 5 - The Culturecide Campaigns' CD
(Old Europa Cafe) - £11 / £12 / £13

The Culturecide Campaigns was released in 2000, only available for one month through MP3.com, during which time only 39 copies were sold. After 10 years, these recordings have now finally been restored, redesigned and remastered and features two bonus tracks. This album was recorded back to back with "Victory or death" and carries the same menacing feeling, but with a bit more structure and emphasis on pounding rhythmic industrial noise. If you want rough old-school industrial this is what you need! The campaign continues.

MARTYN BATES & TROUM - 'To A Child Dancing In The Wind' CD
(Transgredient) - £11 / £12 / £13

Profound songs inspired by the poems of Irish poet Yeats. The acoustic transformation of the deepest yearning. German duo Troum teamed up with the legendary british singer / songwriter Martyn Bates of Eyeless In Gaza. Beginning with sound structures, drones and minimal loops by Troum, Bates sung and played over this basic material - which was subsequently added to and mastered by Troum. Sensitive, sublime and harmonic. Presented in a beautiful 6-panel digipak with images by Bates.

MAURIZIO BIANCHI / PETER ANDERSSON / HENRIK NORDVARGR BJÖRKK
/ ERIK JARL - 'S.F.A.G. / S.F.A.G. De-Composed' 2 x CD (Old Europa Cafe)
- £16 / £17 / £18

Reissue of the 1983 cassette on the legendary Broken Flag label. "The modulatory shaking of S.F.A.G is the oxygenating prelude to the irradiating bionic music later developed through works such as “Endometrio” and “Carcinosi” and represents a milestone in my pre-apocalyptic production which later will culminate into the horrid of “Armaghedon”. The exegesis of this work reflects a strong attachment to smooth and round effects of the roughness of the frantic early days, but with a constant preference for the symbiosis between well preordered sound masses and not well defined radio broadcasts, like nebulae drifting in a space in trembling condensation." Digitally remastered by Peter Andersson (Raison D’être). The Original album is accompanied by a second CD with 3 de-compositions using extracts of the original S.F.A.G. recordings done by 3 well known Nordic industrial artists: Peter Andersson (Raison D'Être), Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412) and Erik Jarl (IRM). Gatefold mini LP sleeve with vinyl-look CDs.

OÖPHOI - 'Potala' 10" (Substantia Innominata / Drone Records)
- £11 / £13.50 / £16

First ever vinyl by the Italian deep ambient master! Two long contemplative tracks into the centre of holy places (may it be physically or mentally), opening endless spaces with low humming and reverberating meditation-drones! Limited edition of 500 copies on luminous green vinyl, with full-colour artwork by 1000SCHOEN aka ex-Maeror Tri member Helge Siehl.
