ANIMUS - 'Hallucinations: Ideals Surrounding Water, Sand And Clouds Of Dust' CD
(Ars Magna Recordings) - £10.50

Second album from this Israeli DSBM act. Dark, depressive ambient and acoustic material meld with funereal Black Metal to leave yet another scar on the facade of life. Decidedly minimalist music, with raw guitars and occasional vehement Hebrew lyrics. Music full of depression, loneliness and suffering. File next to Vinterriket, Ildjarn, Hate Forest, Striborg.

BANABILA & MACHINEFABRIEK - 'Banabila & Machinefabriek' CD (None) - £11

Though the plans were made a while ago, it took some time before Michel Banabila and Rutger Zuydervelt actually started working on music together. But once they did, they quickly got caught up in an unstoppable workflow. Swapping files back and forth, layering and processing eachother's sounds, it immediately felt like a match made in heaven. In an incredibly short, though highly inspiring time span, this album was created. A 40+ minute journey through warm drones, mysterious crackling and outbursts of digital noise, with the tracks joined, making it one uninterupted trip. Matt-laminate digipak with photography by Banabila and design by Zuydervelt.

BEYOND DAWN - 'The Righteous Underground' 2 x CD (Purple Soil) - £13.50

This release compiles a huge amount of unreleased Beyond Dawn material, spanning the Norwegians' entire illustrious career - from the "Pity Love" debut and up until and including their last album, "Frysh". Alternative versions / mixes, unreleased songs, demos, live tracks etc, comprising more than two hours of rare, or in most cases never before heard Beyond Dawn material. "There is so much material in the vaults, we could easily have made this a 3 or 4-CD package. But we decided to put only the very best on the physical CD, and compile an appendix of extra material free to download with every purchase". Beyond Dawn have released on great labels such as: Adipocere, Candlelight Records, Misanthropy Records, Eibon Record and Peaceville. Ltd x 1000 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve with postcard and bonus download included.

BOSSE - 'Visions Of The End' MCD (Ars Magna Recordings) - £8

Richard Bosse's music is unique. Contemplative, natural, void of any pretense, and possessed of a lush tranquility that somehow manages to unnerve, his records are demonstrations of the lulling power of repetition and layering. Bosse builds tiny walls of guitars that become towers of aching beauty and restraint, at times recalling the majesty of Ulver or Drudkh. An exploration of solitude and loneliness spiralling into works of immense beauty and resonance. Echoes of neoclassicism, post-rock grandeur, medieval madrigals, and elegiac psych folk are all woven into a drunken mesh of lament and hushed loveliness, guitars clouding over with melodious drones and glacial washes of darkened ambience. Presented in a digisleeve.

ENCEPHALOPHONIC - 'Regressed Progress' CD (Audio Dissection) - £11

Encephalophonic has been lurking in shadows of international noise for some years and now presents its debut CD album. Step by step improving and challenging himself to rise to new heights, this album culminates years of work. Taking influence from masters of dynamic Japanese pedal noise and harshest American units, but creating timeless and trend free harsh noise. It's at the same time super distorted and noisy as it is high fidelity and crispy. Echoes of 90's Merzbow, Pain Jerk, Kazumoto Endo, Sickness, Skin Crime, etc., but with an additional dark and sinister quality. 9 tracks for 40+ minutes of audio damage. Ltd x 300 copies.

LE REVERS SANGLANT - 'Le Sang' CD (Twilight Records) - £11

Le Revers Sanglant's previous Martial Industrial epic 'Un Combat Perdu d'Avance' was realised in order to represent feelings of uprising and melancholy. We can feel confrontational in existence, which is precisely this in advanced lost fight. Taking the subject of war as backdrop, we can find an ubiquitous death for those young soldiers. Fate wins. Taken into battle, whatever happens, they won't have to miss courage to face up their destiny. Recorded with despairing energy and limited means, this new album serves to translate the echo of those young souls in respite. Digipak.

All Le Revers Sanglant Titles

MACHINEFABRIEK - 'Stromtoon II' CD (Herbal International) - £11

"When two labels asked me to release material on lathe cut singles, I knew this would be perfect for the music I was working on. The length limitation of a 7" worked nicely for these pieces, creating to-the-point, rounded off stories in barely four minutes, with no room for bullshit. Music that's in a way simple but effective". Those tracks are now compiled on CD, with the extra benefit of them having much better sound quality than the lathes, plus two bonus tracks, delivering a coherent listening experience. All tracks were previously released on 7" lathe cuts except 'Stroop', which appeared on the compilation 'Antibothis 4'. Digisleeve.

TRANCELIKE VOID - 'Where The Trees Can Make It Rain' MCD (Ars Magna Recordings) - £7

With two tracks spanning more than 20 minutes, this is Belgian duo Trancelike Void as you have never heard them before (normally Black Ambient in the style of Trist or Xasthur). A minimal acoustic trip through the self, a gaze into the void, a solitary journey of sombre introspection. Dark and calming, slow and melancholic.

VERNEY 1826 - 'Ex Libris' CD (Lichterklang) - £11

The main concept behind "Ex Libris“  was to create a collection of songs that are linked to a book or to an author, which have a very special meaning to Verney 1826’s mastermind Lionel Verney. In collaboration with the Italian Gothic band Victim’s Ball, mezzo sopranist Anna Aliena and the German neoclassical project Schattenspiel, 12 tracks can be found on "Ex Libris“ with a wide musical diversity ranging from Neoclassical parts, Martial Industrial and Dark Ambient to Neofolk. All these different influences make the album an outstanding and timeless release. Mastered by Axel Frank (Werkraum). Ltd x 260 copies.

VIR MARTIALIS - 'Metapolemos II' CD (Twilight Records) - £11

With “Metapolemos II - The Spiritual Aesthetics Of War", Vir Martialis presents a new manifesto of resistance, impregnated by the horror and the beauty of war, by the defeat and the victory, by the glory and the fall, by the memories of others times and the promise of a new dawn with a potent percussion, deep and overwhelming, a brilliant orchestration, a dark and suffocating atmosphere can become in a bombastic, epic and beauty hymn of heroism. The album features the participation of French band Barbarossa Umtrunk and the pioneers of Martial Industrial in Venezuela, Nuevo Ideal Nacional. Vir Martialis will take you into the spiritual aesthetics of the war, Vir Martialis will bring you back from the spiritual defeat to the glory of the final Victory. Digipak.

BLACK LEATHER JESUS - 'Prove To Me That You're More Than Meat' CD
(Audio Dissection) - £11


Excellent full-length release from this long-running cult US harsh noise project. Three tracks of achingly harsh sex noise and one extended track of unashamed junk metal mood and abuse. 50 minutes of brutal sonic violence with the usual Black Leather Jesus (aka Richard Ramirez) trademark sound. Ultra heavy! Ltd x 300 copies.

PROCER VENEFICUS - 'Convoy (Pt. 2)' CD (God Is Myth) - £10.50

After releasing the stunning "A Summerhaze Array for August Nights" boxset, now comes this new effort from Procer Veneficus. "Convoy (Pt. 2)" takes off in a slightly different direction in terms of composition and form but make no mistake, this is Procer Veneficus' greatest and most absorbing / thought provoking work to date. Almost an hour of psychedelic Black Metal delivered like no other. Digipak.

STROSZEK - 'Life Failures Made Music' CD (God Is Myth) - £10.50

Stroszek returns with their second opus, the follow-up to 'Songs Of Remorse', with the aplty titled 'Life Failures Made Music'; and with song titles like 'The Unlucky Ones', 'Gone by the Fall', and 'Land of Silence and Darkness', it's no secret that this album is filled with crushing sadness. Take equal parts Neofolk, the fatalist mentality of Black Metal, the darkness of older Alice in Chains, the beautiful acoustics of latter-day Antimatter and the painfully soft, whispered vocals of Tom Waits and it is easy to see precisely why this crushing sadness is what makes this record so damn special.

WOLFMANGLER - 'They Call Us Naughty Wolves' CD (God Is Myth) - £10.50

D. Smolken (also of Dead Raven Choir) returns to the God is Myth stable in the form of his slow, grim and noisy chamber doom outfit Wolfmangler. With the spirit of past Wolfmangler releases where covers of folk songs, classical music pieces and jazz standards are the main lifeblood, this latest work entitled "They Call Us Naughty Wolves" is the band's unique take on pop music from yesteryear. The results are very much reminiscent of a blackened burlesque chamber ensemble funnelled through a broken radio in a post-apocalyptic wasteland picking up distorted pieces of hits from the 1930s.
