| 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’.

GEROSTENKORP - 'Terre Brulée' CD (OPN)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
"French Experimental artist Gerostenkorp produces a tribalistic stomp that treads similar ground in different areas to Pain Teens and Swans. Gerostenkorp provide a futuristic soundtrack that works on subtle atmospheric ambience throughout. Ghostly ambient qualities dominate this album, yet it also changes its’ approach frequently."Terre Brulee" seems industrial only in its electronic futurism, yet seems reach out further in its sound and ambitions. There is a sense of seductive French Neu Wave where the song overtakes the ambient passages" (Judas Kiss). Features guest appearances by Von Magnet and Terroritmo, bringing a theatrical dimension to the addictive tribal-oriented rhythmic Industrial soundscapes. Presented in a sumptuous 6-panel digipak.

HIGHGATE - 'Black Frost Fallout' CD (Totalrust)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
It's time to rejoice again. The amazing demo of the mighty Highgate is given a proper release together with older tracks, shiny new intermezzo and 'Live Ritual'. If somehow you managed to miss Highgate and their hybrid of minimalist yet ultra-powerful doom, noise, sludge and grim black metal, here is your chance to get addicted to captivating and uplifting ugliness. If however you are the surviving victim of their oppressive sound, you know that it is yet another blessing. There is nothing even remotely optimistic in the Kentucky deadliest's message – only desolation, hatred and inhabited earth. Ltd x 1000 copies.
|

This album is the heaviest effort of the band so far. Devastating. Ltd x 1000 copies.

PYRAMIDO - 'Salt' CD (Totalrust)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Two years after delivering the punishing debut album "Sand", Pyramido returns with another weapon of mass-destruction! That's six new tracks of a raw Doom/Sludge journey more complex than before, yet primitive as hell... pounding, groovy, and absolutely crushing. 40 minutes of sensory pummeling overflowing with feedback, suffocating riffs, dirty distortion, screams… Another step forward for this Swedish beast. Filth doesn’t take prisoners. Get pulverized! Ltd x 1000 copies.
|
RASALHAGUE - 'Rage Inside The Window' CD
(Malignant Records) - £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
"Rage Inside The Window" is the astounding debut album from Indiana based dark ambient artist Rasalhague, offering some of the most haunting, dread filled, and yet dynamic atmospheres we've come across in some time. Inspired by the true events of a young girl neglectfully imprisoned in filth and squalor by her thoughtless and uncaring mother. "Rage Inside the Window" takes the listener into the mind of a savagely depraved soul. Don't expect ambient of the spaced out, blissful, and softly textured variety. This is dirty and impenetrably dark, with an intertwining mass of demonic squalls, intense probing, highly ominous tonal drones, distant monolithic pulsations, and bleak isolationism. 6 lengthy tracks of pure psychological horror, progressively getting darker, brooding, and more menacing. Finally, with the final track, some semblance of solace is achieved. Akin to Atrium Carceri or Raison d'Etre. 6 panel DVD Digipak. |
VOIDWORK - 'Basement' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden) - £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
A is dark wave / ambient release revolving around variations of a central musical theme. As the album progresses, the melodies become less apparent and the tone of the songs becomes darker and more abstract. Varied yet coherent, a part of the story is told by each individual track, culminating in the auditive equivalent of a short horror story. "Basement" tells the fictional story of a small New England town, a sinister man named Horace Pinkerton and the unnatural abominations hidden by him for years. Features guest vocals by Ann-Mari Thim (Arcana). Digipak.

TERRA SANCTA - 'Disintegration'
CD (Malignant Records) - £11 / £12 / £13
Four years after the release of "Aeon", "Disintegration" finds Australia’s Terra Sancta in fine form, delivering another sweeping, dark ambient epic. Expanding on the sounds explored on his previous releases, "Disintegration" pushes the levels of intensity to new heights, featuring four long and texturally turbulent emissions of formidable power and depth. With it’s enormous washes of stormy drones and billowing, multi-layered atmospheres, these are tracks that grow and build to such a degree they seem to collapse and erode under their own weight, strewing particles into a vast horizon and creating a broad panorama of ever changing desert colored hues. A completely enveloping and engulfing release, this is dark ambient on a massive scale. Artwork designed by Vestigial. |
