Production and sound values are closer to industrial music than ever before. Enter if you dare, the very twisted and real world of Sutcliffe Jugend as they execute With Extreme Prejudice. 6-panel digipak.

FIRST HUMAN FERRO Feat. ALBIREON - 'Prosa Profana' CD (Nitkie) - £11 / £12 / £13

"Prosa Profana" is the 2nd post mortem dedication by Olegh Kolyada (dedicated to his late father), this time collaborating with Neofolkers Albireon. A low-key unison of dissonant ex-Soviet schlager melodies and prominent Italian vocals in a tender naive manner, offering a unique nostalgic experience... homesickness, melancholy, grief and yearning. The release comes in a beautiful digipak with a 12-page booklet.

HENRIK N BJÖRKK - 'Tyglad Best' LP (UFO Mongo) - £16 / £19.50 / £23

Nordvargr is the more dark ambient project by Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (the man behind MZ.412 / Folkstorm / Toroidh / Vargr and many other projects). This is a special commemorative album featuring two dark and cosmic tracks: track one was recorded July 21 2011 in the best possible conditions; track two was recorded July 23 2011 in a state of shock. On July 22 2011 the Utøya massacre happened in Norway. This album is dedicated to the memory of those who died. All music performed live on modular synthesizer, no overdubs or processing added. Ltd x 500 copies.

HYPSIPHRONE - 'And The Void Shall Pierce Their Eyes' CD (Black Plagve /
Malignant Records
) - £11 / £12 / £13

Debut album from this one man project from Greece, fitting right in with labelmate Sewer Goddess in its ability to create innately evil and impure sounds, integrating elements of doom metal, black metal, and dark experimentalism into the pure industrial horror that constitutes the majority of this release. The result is nothing short of absolute and abject dread; 8 tracks spanning an hour worth of material…an auditory overload that’s completely immersive, and at times overwhelming , where heaving masses of percussive doom collide with shuddering machinery dirge, ghoulish and nightmarish ambience, torturous screams, and cinematic depravity, the sounds layered into a tangled and abstract tapestry of something completely epic and nearly majestic in its scale. Fans of Gnaw Their Tongues, Abruptum and “Necro Evangelicum” era BDN will do well to wallow in the oozing blackness and unbridled malevolence Hypsiphrone has created. Ltd x 500 copies in a 6-panel digipak.

KRISTOFFER NYSTRÖMS ORKESTER - 'Overlook Hotel' LP (Malignant Records)
- £16 / £19.50 / £23

KNO is a collaborative project between Swedish industrial legend Peter Nystrom (Megaptera, Negru Voda), and Norwegian up and comer Kristoffer Oustad (V:28, Plague Machinery). Welcome to Overlook Hotel, where every room has a ghost, and every room has a story to tell. Travel the hallways and explore, as you venture into a cerebral musical state, where ghostly transmissions and hypnotic layers of surreal, ethereal atmospheres intersect with disembodied voices, clattering, furnace blasting percussion, and of course, healthy injections of true, old fashioned industrial noise and sweeping doom, done in the best Scandinavian style. The pacing of the album is truly impeccable, flowing seamlessly from to track, as if moving from room to room in a hazy, dream state, the layering and cohesiveness on a whole nothing short of meticulous. 10 tracks in total, 2 of which are exclusive to the record, one of which is a backwards version of what will be on the CD released later in winter. Limited to 217 copies (one for every room at the hotel). Don’t miss a chance to grab what is unequivocally one of the most well conceived and well executed records in the history of Malignant.

All LP / 12" Vinyl

NEKRASOV / ONDO - 'Nekrasov / Ondo' LP (Peasant Magik) - £16 / £19.50 / £23

Long delayed split between Sweden's Ondo and Australia's Nekrasov finally sees the light of day! The three tracks presented here by Ondo are masterfully constructed from tangled strings, industrial clatter, wordless whispers and menace. On the flip side, Nekrasov offers 19 minutes of his trademark black-drone, which trudges along at an almost "Salt Marie Celeste" pace. Crumbling distortion is meticulously smeared against a backdrop of churning low end filth until all is lost in one ominous drone. Full colour jacket and insert by Joce of L'industrie Chimere Noire and mastered by William Hutson. Ltd x 300 copies on 180g vinyl. Few copies in stock - ACT FAST!

NEW RISEN THRONE - 'Loneliness Of Hidden Structures' Enhanced CD (Cyclic Law)
- £12 / £13 / £14

The latest chapter of a series from Italy's New Risen Throne that began with "Whispers Of The Approaching Wastefulness" (Cyclic Law, 2007) and continued on with "Crossing The Withered Regions" (Cold Meat Industry, 2009). The first of this series is explained as the annunciation of the end, while the second part was expressing the advent of this end. Now this third chapter speaks of rebirth. Within the caves and ruins left by the destruction, there begins to form the first foundations and structures of a reconstruction that is in turn in constant evolution. The album's tracks are structurally organised in order to evoke that evolution. Filled with NRT's now trademark sound of deep cavernous drones, processed voices and percussive moments, this album features exclusive remixes by Nordvargr and Northaunt. Ltd x 1000 copies in a special A5 folder with a video clip for the track 'New Risen Throne (I)'.

TERRA SANCTA - 'Sunken / Buried / Forgotten' MCD (Malignant Records) - £8 / £9 / £10

A brand new MCD from Terra Sancta, originally planned as part of the next full length release, but the tracks here are significantly different from the newer material being recorded as to warrant a separate release. "Sunken / Buried / Forgotten" should be seen as a sort of bridge between Terra Sancta's past and future recordings, the three lengthy tracks here representing the heavy droning sound found on particular parts of "Disintegration"; swaths of roughly textured, post-industrial drift, propelled forth with a massive back weight into a crescendo of epic turbulence, leaving a wake of swirling cosmic debris in its path. Once again, Terra Sancta shows an innate ability to push the limits of what is traditionally considered dark ambient. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

All Terra Sancta Titles

VOLTIGEURS / HORSEBACK - 'Split' 10" (Turgid Animal) - £12 / £14.50 / £17

Long awaited split between USA's Horseback (check out their releases on Relapse Records) and England's own Skullflower related project Voltigeurs (aka Matthew Bower & Samantha Davies). Two sides of true blackened experimental music that transcend all kinds of genre's making for a truly interesting and insanely high quality release. Two inserts printed on heavy stock inside a thick PVC sleeve. Ltd x 250 copies. VERY FEW IN STOCK - ACT FAST!

All 10" Vinyl

VOMIR - 'Application À Aphistemi' CD (Maisonbruit) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

"No dynamics, no change, no development, no ideas, is how French wall-noise master Romain Perrot once summed up the Vomir aesthetic. The 70-odd recordings he has produced under the name - all seething slabs of layered noise - have varied in density but never in approach or conception. How can such a project move forward? Well, the obvious answer is by realising the same idea with different means. Thus, the second track hear, "L'Apparence Du Vrai Est Un Moment Du Faux", is a harsh noise wall performed on a 12-string electroacoustic guitar, the first of its kind in the Vomir catalogue. It has everything you listen for in a HNW release - the crackling cross-rhythms, the transformation of static mass into polyphony - but the pace (if that makes sense) is slower; there are strings, so there's pitch; and you can hear the rattle of the guitar-neck. Track one, on the other hand, is classic Vomir: a blizzard in constant crescendo, uncompromisingly empty, infinitely detailed" (The Wire). Ltd x 500 copies with embroidered patch.

All Vomir Titles

VORTEX - 'Rockdrill' CD (Cyclic Law) - £12 / £13 / £14

Vortex is a German project from Marcus Stigleger (Golgatha, Aeterna), challenging the boundaries of ritual and dark ambient music. After the debut album "Phanopoeia" (2008, Tesco Organisation), ‘Rockdrill’ continues on the same path and mobilises acoustic instruments, voice, electronics and samples to create a unique and epic sound monument in 11 parts. It is inspired by a sculpture called ‘Rock Drill’ by Vorticist artist Sir Jacob Epstein. The sculpture was built according to his sketches in 1913-14 to symbolise 'the terrible Frankenstein's monster we have made ourselves into'. The concept of this album is to reconstruct the history, mood and allegory of this piece of sculptural art as well as its impact on modern art movements. This truly complex album transcends the frontiers of ambient soundscapes in order to awake a nearly forgotten sense of beauty and grace within modernist avant-garde by using twisted rhythm patterns, pounding industrial percussion and fragile organic ambience. Ltd x 500 copies in a gatefold digisleeve.

ARTISIAN - 'Na Beiste Bho'n Talamh' CD (None) - £8 / £9 / £10

Artisan’s eagerly anticipated second album features 11 gut wrenching tracks of intense, fast-paced original black / death metal. Unusually, the album has mostly been written in Scots Gaelic, which gives the album an exhilarating and abnormal edge, whilst inventing a completely new styled trademark sound. Artisian have successfully merged the two genres of black and death metal, into an exciting and gripping album, with thunderous drums, intense dual vocals, ripping guitar riffs and brutal bass lines.

FROM BEYOND - 'Endtime' CD (Sonic Temple Records) - £8 / £9 / £10

Doom Metal 4-piece from Czech Republic. Primordial, tenebrous Doom / Death Metal with crushingly slow riffs, dark gloomy guitars and extreme growling vocals. For fans of early Anathema, Trouble and Cathedral. Reissue of the 2000 demo with 7 bonus tracks!

NORDVARGR - 'Helvete' CD (Eternal Pride Productions) - £11 / £12 / £13

The newest creation from Villa Bohult, the Nordvargr family burial vault. This time the "cursed poet" Wrest from the USBM Leviathan and Drakhon (Beyond Sensory Experience, MZ.412) have joined the night sessions of the never sleeping Swedish zombie. It would be totally insane to be waiting for something life-asserting, light and positive for the three of them. "Helvete" is just the overwhelming Darkness and the ice-cold all-filling Terror. Meditative and sinister Dark Ambient rhythms are filled with the ominous whisper of Wrest and Drakh. Deep and lengthy drones as well as the charming atmosphere of the Swedish industrial decadence. At the end of this trip all of those nostalgic for the times of the "Burning The Temple Of God" MZ.412 will be fully rewarded for all the years of waiting. Digipak.

PROFANE GRACE - 'Epitaph Of Shattered Dreams' CD (Dark Vinyl /
Memento Mori
) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Dark Ritualistic Ambient and Funeral Doom from a nebulous and cold void. Welcome to the deepest desires of all things dark; it is time for the return of the living dead. Epitaph of Shattered Dreams is the third album from the American masters of dark, ethereal and ritualistic black ambient. A perfectly slow growing horror soundtrack. Buried alive. Cover artwork by Michael Riddick (The Soil Bleeds Black).

SATOR ABSENTIA - 'Mercurian Orgasms' CD (Dark Vinyl / Memento Mori)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Debut album from this French cinematic Dark Ambient act, led by Cédric Codognet (ex-Asmorod) and featuring Fredrik Bergström (No Festival Of Light). Pulsating, ritual soundscapes combined with tribal structures, Death Industrial elements and the deep atmospheric sounds of an electric violin / cello. Cinematic sounds for your inner eyes. Melancholic and classic, mysterious, tragic and demonic.

SIEGHETNAR - 'Todessehnsucht' CD (Nordsturm Productions)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Second release from this mysterious German BM act. Raw, misanthropic and unapologetic Black Metal... dark, doomy and nihilistic. Monotone riffs supply a steady basis for the dull crunching guitars. Synthesizers fill every nook and cranny with a sound like sandpaper on glass. Sieghetnar are masters in this genre - and this is definitely a release for those who worship Burzum, Gorgoroth, Blut Aus Nord; and above all Xasthur.

SVARTTHRON - 'Obscure Telephathy' CD (ISO666 Releases) - £8 / £9 / £10

Raw Black Metal from Lithuania with a few ambient parts. Created as a way to express the author's philosophy, negative emotions and inner demons, and as therapy for his own mental illness, the album is also inspired by occultist Aleister Crowley. Misanthropic, suicidal black metal in the vein of Strid, Xasthur, Striborg and Nortt. Greek import.

VOMIR - 'Proanomie' CD (At War With False Noise) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

The first ever "proper" CD of this French harsh noise wall unit doesn't disappoint. "I find it difficult to describe the sheer brutality of either the concept of Vomir's music or indeed the sound of the music itself. It's long, it does not change, and it leaves me with a feeling of intense loss and depression afterward. Truly some of the most powerful music I know. For Vomir there is nothing, and this is how he makes that statement. It's an ugly listen for sure, but well worth the effort". (AWWFN). Ltd x 500 copies.

YEN POX - 'Blood Music' CD (Malignant Records) - £15 / £17 / £19

15 years after it’s original release, and out of print for almost as long, Yen Pox’ Blood Music has finally been re-issued. Regarded by many as a benchmark recording within the realm of dark ambient music, this deluxe 2CD edition contains a completely re-mastered and remixed version of "Blood Music" plus a previously unreleased track on disc 1, as well as the first cassette and various compilation and 7” releases on disc 2. Combined, the discs offer well over two hours of colossal, mind bending atmospherics of the highest order, the sounds radiating outwards into a sprawling horizon of sulfur dark skies, then descending into a relentless maelstrom of shifting textures, treacherous reverberations, and endless, sinister drift. Packaged in a luxurious 8 panel DVD digipak, with completely new design by Andre Coelho (Sektor 304), this is the perfect marriage of both music and packaging, and will further solidify Blood Music’s status as one of the all time classic dark ambient releases.
