Shipping: Now
Sublime new album from the drone / dark ambient legend.
"Stealth" presents itself as an exploration of sounds neither here nor there, textures camouflaged against their own background noise, and the distant crackling telemetric code-speak of a vague humanity hidden behind a cloak of deadly high-technology. Five deeply-layered extended tracks, mixed and edited from re-sampled location recordings originally captured inside the hangar environs of a Northrop-Grumman B-2 Stealth Bomber, during a period of downtime maintenance at a U.S. Air Force base in Cambridgeshire. Original field recordings and texture preparations by FOURM / Si_Comm.
First edition pressing of 1000 copies includes bonus disc comprised of this *pre-mix* material in its original, un-edited form, as a representation of the source audio from which "Stealth" was reconstituted.
Deep listening inspired by one of the most mysterious aircraft of the 20th century. Headphones recommended.

Shipping: Now
During the period in which Clay Ruby first began working on this piece of art, he had become so completely surrounded by evil and deception that he was forced to begin summoning a particularly extreme and ancient force of protection and vitality just to make it alive through the end of 2008. Aside from spiritually fortifying Ruby's life, the complexities of these new elemental entities brought with them circumstances causing a much more rich and intense recording experience than he could have ever composed on his own. Classic horror electronics and post-industrial apocalyptic soundscapes with unsettling notes, anguished cries and voices of the dead. His most ritualistic album yet. Reissue of the extremely limited LP with bonus tracks taken from the split LPs with Kinit Her and Zola Jesus, all available on CD for the first time! All tracks have been carefully remastered.

FILIVS MACROCOSMI / CHARADRIIFORM - 'Ex Vivo' CD (A5 Production)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
|
 |
One long collaborative dark ambient / drone track from two Ukrainian projects. "Since the beginning of time mankind has been fascinated by Space. In 1961, the technical genius of Soviet scientists proved that man can master the cosmos. But how many people think about the fact that in addition to the celebrations, glory and indescribable feelings, a flight beyond Earth may bring pain, suffering, madness? In our work Ex Vivo (Lat. "from life"), we would like to reveal all the faces of flights, which are not talked about - loneliness, isolation from the usual things, the incredible closeness of death and an endless cold abyss of the universe, which stares at an astronaut. We have tried to convey and express the feelings that a person experiences at start of the machine and to the point where he can no longer distinguish the picture generated by his imagination from reality. The tranquility that ends the album in any case should not be understood as an obituary. It is rather a hymn of praise to the birth of a man who understood and took for himself a place that was defined for him by the universe." Ltd x 500 copies in a clear clamshell case.

HORSEBACK- 'The Invisible Mountain' CD (Relapse Records)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
"The Invisible Mountain" is an intensely heavy Black Metal, psychedelic rock, post-metallic, krautrock journey. The guitars buzz, drone and twang... the drums are powerful and tight... the instruments locked into slow burning build ups with sparse brutal vocals rasping for breath. Horseback manages to straddle polar opposites of the musical spectrum, possessed evil and pure blissful beauty, oftentimes within a single song. |
INCAPACITANTS - 'Mon, Ma? Mon!!!' CD (Triangle / Cerosene / Outcry Records)

 |
Continuing the celebration of their recent 30-year anniversary, iconic Japanese Noise band Incapacitants present a new gift for their devotees. Their latest CD contains 60 minutes of exhausting psychedelic noise. Inedible mush made up of whistling feedback and drilling high frequencies. Cumbersome, nasty debris of harsh noise! Ltd x 500 copies in a digisleeve.

ILLUSION OF SAFETY - 'Bridges Intact' CD (Waystyx)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
An album recorded preliminary with piano, guitar, electronics and sound processing devices. Abstract tonal and atonal improvisations share the sonic continuum with background drones, rasps and gentle noises, and they do it in highly unpredictable surreal way: mild "melodies" turn into energetic uneasy passages being interrupted by "concrete" sonic romp evolving into spatial drone and electronic landscapes... and all this whirl continues during the whole CD increasing the degree of abstractness and psychedelia as it moves towards the end, which is presented in a form of beautiful harmonic composition. Ltd x 324 numbered copies in a stunning multi-foldout package.

The album is dedicated to the end of Kali-Yuga - the age of technocratic lack of spirituality and moral decay - and to the attainment of human awareness of the Unity. Eight hasteless compositions of psychedelic drone ambient combine a light atmosphere with deep layers, crystal clear sound transparency with mild and sometimes uneasy melodies. Soft organic tracks full of plangent drones, noises and natural recordings neighbor with dense and saturated hymns to Hindu goddess Kali. The disk is closed by a beautiful lyrical composition reminding us that the best way to overcome ignorance and realize unity is Love. Ltd x 500 copies in a 6-panel digipak.

MAJDANEK WALTZ & SAL SOLARIS - 'Tenebrae' CD
(Zhelezobeton / Shadowplay Release)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
A collaboration album by two prominent Russian post-industrial projects. The conceptual core of the record is the poetry of Paul Celan, one of the major German-language poets of the post-World War II era. His cryptic fractured lyrics spoken in a specific estranged way by Pavel Blumkin is enchased by a weird fusion of avant-garde neoclassic and dark ambient music. Decadent sounds of violin, cello, clarinet, piano and bayan from Majdanek Waltz blend with shimmering electronic drones and uneasy soundscapes of Sal Solaris in paradoxical unity making your heart throb painfully. The last track features the haunting voice of Rada Anchevskaya (Rada & Ternovnik). The depth of this dream lures and makes you return and experience it again and again.

- £16 / £19.50 / £23 |

Near exact replica of this classic M.B. private LP published in 1983 in an edition of 300 copies. "A nodulose decrease of few sparkling casings, with manual scents or prolonged sick terms of tumoral cells. To replenish the majority of the rusty pathology we inject a fit existence in the deadly symptom of a weak bandage. The microscopic precipice undertakes a nasty hesitation into the bored carcinosi. Which is the calamitous result of the adamic transgression" (Maurizio Bianchi, Milan, 2011). Included is a numbered insert consisting in new liner notes by Maurizio Bianchi and a replica of an original polaroid photo by M.B. from 1982. Ltd x 257 copies (out of 314 total copies) on clear vinyl.

Originally released in a private edition of 300 copies in 1982. Post-concrete and incandescent sonorities utilising M.B.'s metalised instrumentation: electronics, rhythms, noise & tapes. The pyramidal construction of the two "suites" of this work, with its intentionally brutal and grotesque deformations, elaborates an overflowing and apocalyptical collapse, dragging a completely dissolved conception of the world and of the para-industrial sound.

TEATRO SATANICO - 'Fatwa' CD
(Old Europa Cafe)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
This album is without a doubt the band’s most Satanic work to date. It starts with a bunch of anti-religious synth-punk songs, then moves further into esoteric electronic left-hand paths, where post-industrial noises copulate with minimal-electro sounds. And then it puts a malediction (or a prayer?) on the real enemy of humanity. And ends summoning the Proud Adversary of the true evil, a ritual invocation to the only and true Light-bringer! And then again more hell to tell... 10 songs with Italian, English and Latin lyrics. Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak with original artwork by Saturno Butto, the Italian maestro internationally known for his exceptional and superior fine-art.

THE PROTAGONIST - 'A Rebours' CD
(Rabbau)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
'A Rebours’ is named after the 1884 novel by Joris-Karl Huysmans - a very important piece of literature, a landmark of symbolist aestheticism, materialistic decadence, and of language itself. The debut album from The Protagonist (Magnus Sundström) was originally issued by Cold Meat Industry in 1998. The sheer power of the orchestral, cinematic, imaginative pieces, the obviously talented compositions are all too convincing. Various guests on the (mostly spoken) vocals and playing additional instruments, mostly strings add depth and variation to the album’s tracks. A sense of romanticism prevails, with some tracks driven by military style kettle drums and orchestral complexity. Others appear more subdued and introspective. 13 years after the original release, this album seems to have matured instead of aged, and is now revealed to a new generation of listeners, and to those who missed it the first time around.

THE NEW BLOCKADERS - 'Schadenklang' LP (Hypnagogia) - £15 / £18.50 / £22 |
 |
40 minutes of new '30th Antiversary Wreckordings' by TNB on 12" vinyl with full-colour sleeve. TNB have always had a much-more tactile/hands-on approach than most of their noise contemporaries, often favouring junk and industrial debris to actual ‘instrumentation’ and for the ferociously beautiful "Schadenklang" the feel of DIY ritual remains gloriously intact, even as the levels of electro-violence are insanely amplified. For this release The New Blockaders are Richard Rupenus, Michael Gillham and Hal Hutchinson. Numbered limited edition of 350 copies.

VOMIR & TORBA - 'Unstable Geometry' 7" (At War With False Noise / Swollen Avantgarde /
Aaltra Records / Underground Pollution / Suoni Grezzi / Nhdiystrec) - £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
Collaborative effort between Torba of Italy and French harsh noise wall legend Vomir. On the first side Torba takes the fore: his scraping metal trash collapses down Vomir's crumbling static walls. Torba has a HNW-approach to his noise in that the sounds on here don't really go anywhere; it ends abruptly just as it came in. The second side has the harsh Vomir wall really to the fore, with piercing insect noise scraping away at it constantly. A top HNW collaboration! Ltd x 325 copies with a screenprinted sleeve.

BODYCHOKE - 'Cold River Songs' CD (Relapse Records) - £11 / £12 / £13
Formed by members of Sutcliffe Jügend and Whitehouse, Bodychoke was a noisy rock anomaly as powerful and provocative as its name would suggest. Their material was dark, violent, strangely hypnotic and defied categorisation. The band's long out-of-print final album, the bleak and depressing creative apex known as 'Cold River Songs', is now available once again. This unheralded classic has been given the deluxe treatment; the album is remastered to include 3 bonus tracks and repackaged to include first-ever printing of the bands incendiary lyrics. Criminally underrated and underexposed, 'Cold River Songs' is as intense and ground-breaking as you'd expect from a band of legendary industrial / noise / power electronics pioneers. |
 |

Tracks: Imperium I-IV, Time Stands Still, Be, Locust, Or, Alone. |

KSHATRIY - 'Slepok Soznaniya' CD (Muzyka Voln) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
The project Kshatriy appeared on the Russian post-industrial scene in 2004 and Muzyka Voln now presents the project's first "professional" CD with the album "Slepok Sonzaniya" ("a mould of consciousness"). This work is based on the concept of consciousness of a warrior, a galactic warrior of light, bringing to world pure knowledge, infinite silence, perfect balance, a moment of power and might, a flight of freedom, love, serenity, joy, light, unified time, eternal life, simplicity and bliss. The music of the project can be described as fractal dark drone ambient with lots of patterns, woven from various sonic fibres: synthesized drones, processed field recordings, acoustic echoes and rhythmic loops. Calm and profound, filled with resilience and hidden power, like an endless ocean of tranquility, energy and beauty. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak. |

MERZBOW - 'Surabhi' CD (Hypnagogia) - £11 / £12 / £13
This is the second volume of the "Merzcow" trilogy by Japanoise King Merzbow, with "Kamadhenu" already out and "Goloka" following later in 2011. It is inspired by cattle worship in Hinduism. The album is dedicated to the Care For Cows charity in Vrindavan, India, which takes care of abandoned cattle. 'Vanamali and Balaram' are the names of cows at Care for Cows. The cover photo is from Care For Cows and depicts Vanamali. The Care For Cows site has a gallery of cows swimming in the Yamuna river, captioned 'Yamuna Snan'. Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak. |

NURSE WITH WOUND - 'Salt Marie Celeste' CD (Durtro / Soyuz Music)
- £12 / £13 / £14
Russian-only edition of Nurse With Wound's legendary 2003 album 'Salt Marie Celeste'. One long epic, ominous, atmospheric piece that feels like being on a creaking, sinking ship. A reworked version of Nurse With Wound's sold out "Music For The Horse Hospital". Highly Recommended!! |

OREN AMBARCHI - 'Triste' CD
(Southern Lord)
- £13 / £14 / £15
Originally released as an LP in 2003, now reissued onto CD with 2 lengthy bonus remix tracks. Bearing most comparison to 'Grapes From The Estate', 'Triste' sees Ambarchi delving deep into electronically rendered drone ala Sunn0))) / Earth. Yet where their work can at times smother through its sheer intensity, Ambarchi is careful to open the window and let a bit of fresh air in. From the opening digital creaks and chimes of 'Triste Part 1' through to the spiked ardour of 'Triste Part 2', Ambarchi takes increasingly familiar elements then sculpts them into something both bold yet eminently accessible. Outsize gatefold sleeve. |
