1000SCHOEN - 'Amish Glamour' 2 x CD (Nitkie) - £13.50

Reissue of 1000schoen's 2008 album, previously released on CDR by Lucioléditions / taâlem. The first disc in this 2-CD set contains the remastered version of album "Amish Glamour". The second disc, entitled "Forests At Night", consists of two lengthy parts and is a new, exclusive work by Helge Siehl (ex-Maeror Tri), recorded in 2012 specifically for this release. Limited edition of 500 copies in a six-panel digisleeve.

1000SCHOEN - 'Yoshiwara' 2 x CD (Nitkie) - £13.50

Reissue of a very limited CDR from 2007 (Kafue Systems). Esoteric realism is a good description for 1000schoen's works (aka Helge Siehl, ex-Maeror Tri). "Yoshiwara" is no exception. The title should be familiar for those who know Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" by (it was the nightclub where the main character Maria was working as the dancer). But it's also the name of the red light district in 17th century Tokyo. The music is an ambient symphony, with melodies dwelling somewhere on the edge of harmonic spheres. Both in short and long tracks, the impact is incredible - for the fans of experimental ambient sounds, it's another adventurous listening experience. Ltd x 500 copies in a digisleeve with two bonus, previously unreleased tracks.

A-SUN AMISSA - 'Desperate In Her Heavy Sleep' CD (Gizeh Records) - £12

Leeds trio A-Sun Amissa (featuring members of Glissando) produce a dense, drone-like atmosphere accompanying evocative, melodic string sections and intertwining guitars. Built on the foundations of the unknown, the project encompasses minimalist drones, modern-classical movements and avant-garde tendencies. "Mournful strings, guitars, and dark ambient shadings conjure a haunted, reverberant soundtrack for the end of days, and for one funereal minute after another, cello, violin, and guitars quietly wail, as if caught within some slow-motion death spiral" (Textura). File next to Stars of the Lid, Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Mastered by Lawrence English. Comes in a 6-panel digisleeve with download.

AARON DILLOWAY & KEVIN DRUMM - 'I Drink Your Skin' CD (Hanson Records) - £11

CD reissue of this 2001 collaborative recording, originally released on cassette by American Tapes. After discussing a collaboration during a trip to Chicago, Aaron Dilloway (ex-Wolf Eyes) & Kevin Drumm exchanged unreleased sound sources. One track of Dilloway using Drumm sound sources, and one track Drumm using Dilloway sound sources. Over 50 minutes over both tracks. Ltd x 500 copies in a square DVD case with insert and new cover artwork.

All Aaron Dilloway TitlesAll Kevin Drumm Titles

ATRIUM CARCERI & ELDAR - 'Sacrosanct' CD (Infinite Fog Productions) - £11

Atrium Carceri & Eldar, two of the Dark Ambient genre's most prolific artists, team up for this fantastic dark collaborative release. The deep rumblings and future visions of Atrium Carceri combined with the whispers of historical enlightenment that is Eldar creates a vacuum in time where the future and past coexist. Where nothing and everything is sacred, where the webs of powerful bloodlines are woven and where humanity crumbles.

All Atrium Carceri TitlesAll Eldar Titles

ATTRITION - 'Invocation' CD (Infinite Fog Productions) - £11

A soundtrack for your dreams and nightmares. 30 years since their groundbreaking dark ambient album "This Death House" Attrition's present the movie score "Invocation", written for the film "G.H.O.S.T" from cult U.S. horror film company Mutantville. From uneasy, shifting atmospheres to main themes on piano, vocals and strings, the album was remodelled and mixed at the Cage for this audio only version. An invocation in nine parts.

All Attrition Titles

BLITZKRIEG BABY - 'Porcus Norvegicus' CD (Neuropa) - £12

Dark, threatening, industrial from Norway, carrying traces of artists like NON, early Laibach, and SPK, you will never really know what to expect from one track to the next. "Porcus Norvegicus" ranges through a full spectrum of menace. From subtle and disconcerting to sledge hammer heavy, to homicidally disturbed, Blitzkrieg Baby is taking trophies, not prisoners. Concentrating more on visceral feeling than driving within the lines of any one genre, the music comes from a place of turmoil and suffering - with a wry, twisted smile never far away. Blitzkrieg Baby’s music is depraved, debased, stylised, brutal, and merciless. Digisleeve.

BOCKSHOLM - 'Caged Inside The Beast Of The Forge' CD (Wrotycz) - £11

The two drunken bastards from Bocksholm (Peter Andersson of Raison D'être and Lina Baby Doll of Deutsch Nepal) are finally back with a new album and this time they have unleashed the Beast. Any mythological idea that Boxholm has become a great peaceful Eden is from now on eternally disproved. No one is safe anymore, not even the horror of Kisa. Birath - the Beast of the forge - is back and we are all captives inside his devilish mind, at least for 60 minutes after pressing play. Enjoy with a bottle of moonshine. Digipak.

All Bocksholm Titles

BORDEL MILITAIRE - 'Bordel Militaire' CD (Neuropa) - £12

Bordel Militaire's self-titled debut draws inspiration from classic film soundtracks, lounge and exotica artists, and iconic 60’s production techniques. A gramophone turns lazily in the corner, as the smoke crawls low along the ceiling. Martini glasses and half smoked cigarettes smeared with lipstick, the click of heels on cobblestones on still winter nights. Lili Marlene sings of love as the waves crash upon the shore, and we hum to this tune with sweet whispers of bitter hearts. Take 2 parts of 50′s lounge, one part Morricone, one part power-electronica, one part neo-loungecore, a twist of exotica and a dash of bitters. Shake well and serve with an afterthought of reverb! Features contributions from Boyd Rice (NON) and John Murphy (KnifeLadder, Shining Vril), among others. Digisleeve.

CORRUPTED - 'Far East Experimental Farm' T-Shirt (Nostalgia Blackrain) - £22

Brand new shirt from Japanese Doom overlords Corrupted. Front and back print "Far East Experimental Farm, For Those Who Manipulate All The World". Black shirt with white print on pre-shrunk Printstar shirts. JAPANESE IMPORT! Click image to see available sizes.

The second album of Dark Awake is thematicaly and musically about Typhonian witchcraft, Necronomicon, Sumerian mythology, Runes, Qabalah and other subjects. Apocalyptic Ritual Music. Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak.

All Dark Awake Titles

DIAGNOSE: LEBENSGEFAHR - 'Transformalin' CD (Infinite Fog Productions) - £11

Transformalin is a bleak voyage through dark ambient, power electronics, martial and noise-influenced industrial, with black metal serving as the filter that taints and completes them. Consequently, ‘Transformalin’ is a jarring experience that can be harshly rhythmic at one moment and the next dive into unmetered, dragging ambience, while still others draw on martial cadences and horn reveries that echo in the background. Though mostly instrumental, he does provide ‘narration’ from time to time with primarily clean vocals that range from manically impassioned to psalm-tone catatonia. Since its original release this has become an extremely rare album and now, 5 years later, this black pearl is available again! Comes with an expanded 16-page booklet.

GIANLUCA BECUZZI - 'Trax To Trax' 2 x CD (Silentes) - £13

Gianluca Becuzzi iis known for his projects Limbo, Kinetix and Noise Trade Company.

Surrounded by dark presences we enter this listening experience enjoying Gothic scenarios covered with electronics and noise, pressing and suggestively evocative, in a relentless series of images and sensations, in the emotional crescendo of a close confrontation with our inner world.

GIANLUCA BECUZZI / LUIGI TURRA - 'In Winter' CD (Silentes) - £10.50

Gianluca Becuzzi iis known for his projects Limbo, Kinetix and Noise Trade Company. Luigi Turra is a composer of musique concrete, whose main interest is the musical balance between silence and the tactile perception of sound. "In Winter" was recorded 2008-2010, with Becuzzi mostly taking care of field recordings and programming, and Turra playing acoustic guitar and piano. Light as the snowflakes that entitle them, these nine compositions offer dreamy atmospheres that rely on minimal structures and evoke visions of lonely and lazily wintry landscapes. Music for the heart and the mind, delicate representations of quiet moods translated into harmonic sequences that combine environmental synthesis with influences of a refined sophistication. Comes in an outsized gatefold sleeve.

HAIR POLICE - 'Certainty Of Swarms' LP (No Fun Productions) - £13

The fusion of metal, noise rock, free jazz, industrial, and harsh electronics that makes up "Certainty Of Swarms" is the rare kind of heterogeneous concoction that is carefully matured, but never lost in pedestrian calculation. A blistering onslaught of metallic-fused noise-murk, Swarms is considered by the band to be one of their most complete statements to date, an aptly blindsiding and developed work drawing from all quarters of their craft.

All Hair Police TitlesAll LP / 12" Vinyl

LUSTMORD - 'Carbon/Core' CD (Ant-Zen) - £13

Originally released in 2004, 'Carbon/Core' is the fully developed expansion of acoustic ideas originating as soundtrack for the Happy Pencil website. This soundtrack is another installment of the finely polished dramatic sound design of Lustmord's works, lurking in the shadows for a while and then building to attention-grabbing peaks. This album features five spacious tracks of strong dissonant string arrangements with abyssal growling, beautiful and ambient, with a dark ages kind of feel. Livid soundscapes dig deep into the listener's mind to create pictures of wonderful, terrible tortures from various points in history and beyond. Lustmord has previously extracted the eeriness from field recordings made in crypts, caves, and slaughterhouses, and combined it with occasional ritualistic incantations and the haunting wail of tibetan horns. his seamless treatments of acoustic phenomena encased in digitally expanded bass rumbles have the darkly ambient quality of nightmares that take you to the blackest of abysses. Remastered and packaged in a heavy gatefold card sleeve with silver foil lettering.

All Lustmord Titles

LUSTMORD - 'The Place Where The Black Stars Hang' CD (Ant-Zen) - £13

While the earlier Lustmord album 'Heresy' gave birth to the dark ambient genre, it is 'The Place Where The Black Stars Hang' that defines it. It's a work regularly cited by critics, audiences and musicians as being amongst the very best and most influential albums of its decade. Lustmord's sound investigations are exquisitely crafted manifestations of horror that balance sublime sound references with the body's natural queasiness about ultra-low frequencies. His seamless treatments of acoustic phenomena encased in digitally expanded bass rumbles have the darkly ambient quality of nightmares that take you to the blackest of abysses. 'Black Stars' was perfectly remastered in 2006 and it is that version that is represented here. The differences are subtle yet powerful, giving the album a more nuanced feeling of space and detail than ever before. Oft imitated, but never equaled, Lustmord: the power of sound. Packaged in a heavy gatefold card sleeve with silver foil lettering.

All Lustmord Titles

MANASUNA - 'Breath Beyond' CD (Rage In Eden) - £11

Manasuna - the meeting of the different worlds of sound: modern electronic music, ethnic and classical music.

All Nyodene D Titles

ORGANISATION TOTH - 'The Living Forces Of Evil' CD (Rage In Eden) - £11

After several years of silence, Organisation Toth returns. The music on the album is not "nice" martial, there are no neoclassical notes, no bombastic melodies. Instead we get raw industrial sounds located in the area of achievements of the legendary project Turbund Sturmwerk. Howling sirens, chaotic rhythms, noises and creaks make feeling of confusion and strong sense of unspecified anxiety. The album is dominated by austerity, the sounds are sharp and prickly. Organistaion Toth reminds us that martial industrial has had such roots, martial is the idea, and the music is only the background to express beliefs and values. Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak.

ORDO ROSARIUS EQUILIBRIO - 'Four' CD (Raubbau) - £13

Originally released in 2007, 'Four' was an EP interlacing the last two albums Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio put out on Cold Meat Industry, and an augury of the popularity the band would subsequently achieve with their quality blend of neofolk, martial industrial and melodic compositions. - This fully remastered and largely expanded CD version of 'Four' includes remixes by Mikael Stavöstrand (Inanna), Empusae, Arcana, Thirteenth Exile, Fredrik Leijström (Malaise), Tarmvred, Geneviéve Pasquier, Xotox and Spiral69. There are really more than just four shades of darkness!

RXAXPXE - 'Go Without' CD (Assembly Of Hatred) - £11

"Of My Own Free Will“ stands as the result of the collaboration between RxAxPxE and Assembly Of Hatred which began in 2012. This the third full length album of German conspiracy RxAxPxE, which formed in 2005, and the logic consequence of the earlier activities with partners like Filth & Violence and Industrial Culture. "Of My Own Free Will" contains 35 minutes of filthy occult electronics, practiced in the industrial and power electronics way of sounds. This ain’t just music but a ritualistic manifest for His glory. Be forewarned. Ltd x 300 copies.

ROEL MEELKOP / MECHA/ORGA - 'Rotterdam 54:21' CD (Monochrome Vision) - £10.50

This first collaboration between Roel Meelkop and Yiorgis Sakellariou (aka Mecha/Orga) consists of three pieces; two solos and one duet. "Rotterdam 54:21" is concerned with juxtaposing, mixing and filtering field recordings with analogue synthesizer sounds and aims at an open-ended attempt to construct a soundscape that will give the listeners a chance to immerse themselves in this sonic experience. A distinct and personal approach to the electronic composition, shaped throughout the years of studio practice. Ltd x 500 copies.

SARANG - 'The Dream Of Earth' CD (Silentes) - £10.50

Sarang is a new creature by Simon Balestrazzi (T.A.C., Kirlian Camera) and Enrico Marani (T.A.C., Le Forbici di Manitù). The duo offers oriental sonorities and tribal atmospheres, following the coordinates of a primitive universe, where each sequence gets into our minds and dilates boundaries. Reinventing the structures and enriching them with a disturbing emotional tension, Sarang reclaims the "trance and drone" parameters by combining them with ethnic influences into a skillfully balanced screenplay. Comes in an outsized gatefold sleeve.

TENHORNEDBEAST - 'Elphame' CD (Neuropa) - £12

Forged from the darkest black, Christopher Walton’s (Endvra) drone-doom project will guide you to the Edge of the World. "At Eynsford I took a footpath along a winding valley went wandering into the hills. And at the top of a hill in a little wood, where all the anemones long since were over and the perfume of mint and thyme from outside came drifting in I found once more the familiar path, age-old and fair as wonder, that leads to the Edge of the World. I had heard of its sacred memories that are one with the secret of earth and I went down that path going further and further from the fields we know. The glamour that is at all times upon those lonely lands that lie at the back of the chalky hills of Kent, as it is on the wildernesses of Pennine Horeb and the ebbing lands of memory, intensified as I journeyed. Queerer and queerer grew the things that I saw by little World-End Path but it is well to remember that those things are not our lot, and although we may long for the wonder that they bring their beauty will burn our eyes and turn our waking days to dust and bitterness. Walk lightly and not long in Elphame". Recorded over many years and with diminishing patience at Spennymoor Electric. Digisleeve.

THE VOMIT ARSONIST - 'Go Without' CD (Assembly Of Hatred) - £11

The Vomit Arsonist is Andrew Grant (Bereft). Three years after the last full length, "Wretch", and after a series of limited cassette releases, The Vomit Arsonist returns with his most recent full length, "Go Without". Depressive, bleak, and monotonous electronics. Clanging, ripping scrap metal noise. Maddening, insane vocal work.... "Go Without" is a semi-concept album about spending a near-lifetime in the throes of dependence to psychoactive drugs. This is a look in the mirror. This is letting you know who you really are. There is no escape from the truth. Mastered by John Stillings (Steel Hook Prostheses). Ltd x 500 copies in a deluxe 6-panel digisleeve with booklet.

THU20 - 'Vroeg Werk' 2 x CD (Monochrome Vision) - £13.50

First anthology of the legendary Dutch electro-acoustic group of musicians whose names can be placed in a range of true underground stars and passionate pushers of the contemporary experimental music scene - Frans de Waard, Guido Doesborg, Jac van Bussel, Jos Smolders, Peter Duimelinks. All five members have firm ideas about music and performances and infused recording sessions with their own ideas and sounds. The first CD in this double album is compiled from studio works, unreleased tracks or trakcstaken from rare compilations. The second CD gathers their best concert recordings (1986-1992). Ltd x 500 copies.

VIR MARTIALIS - 'Hierophanie - Prelude To A War Of The Future' CD (Rage In Eden) - £11

This work focuses on the sacred, has 11 tracks and more than 45 minutes of pure Industrial Martial music, with great orchestration and overwhelming forcefulness. Venezuelan act Vir Martialis presents complex compositions, epic and evocative of virtues, in this work the spirit of the Vir (Hero) is manifiest more than ever. In imitating the exemplary acts of a god or of a mythic hero, or simply by recounting their adventures, the man of an archaic society detaches himself from profane time and magically re-enters the Great Time, the sacred time.” Barbarossa Umtrunk prints his mystical sign with his collaboration and the German neofolk group Karma Marata gives voice to a powerful track. Digipak.

YANNICK FRANCK - 'Hierophany' CD (Monochrome Vision) - £10.50

Yannick Franck (Y.E.R.M.O., Idiosyncratics boss) has developed an increasingly personal style that combines sharp acoustic research and abrasive walls of sound. Often described as trance-inducing, his music is based on the treatment of sources such as instruments and non-musical objects, voice, radio signals and field recordings. It ranges from fundamental acoustic explorations ("The Staircase Continuum") to more stylistic-expressionistic searches ("Memorabilia"); two fields of investigation that tend to collide in his latest works such as Hierophany.

ANDREW LILES - 'My Long Accumulating Discontent' CD (Nextera) - £10.50

The fourth and certainly the strangest recording from Andrew Liles. This album is in places more ‘melodic’ than Liles’ previous output and its 17 tracks cover a wide musical territory. Some songs are short and harmonious, other pieces are longer, subtle and contemplative with drifting delicate drones. In places it is truly bizarre and defies all conventions. Traditional English vernacular culture connoisseur Andrew King joins Andrew Liles for one track and Aaron Moore and Nick Mott of Volcano the Bear contribute to several other songs. ‘My Long Accumulating Discontent’ is a distinct and peculiar excursion from the norm. Ltd x 1000 copies.

ANTIKATECHON - 'Chrisma Crucifixorum' CD (Rage In Eden) - £11

57 minutes of music in the classic Dark Ambient genre. This is a very interesting album, not dominated only by dark sounds (of course they are present), but they are some kind of base for beautiful, trance-like melodies. This alternation of melodies and unspecified sounds makes this a very listenable album. Digipak.

CLIMAX DENIAL - 'All Of My Loves Are Like Dreams' CD (Assembly Of Hatred)
- £11


After numerous CDr and cassette releases, Hong Kong label Assembly of Hatred brings us the first proper CD release from Climax Denial, and what a bruiser it is. A dark and intense power electronics / death industrial hybrid, full of thick, squalling drones, uneasy textures, and throbbing frequency pulsations, occupying a sonic terrain somewhere between Brighter Death Now, early Navicon Torture Technologies and Atrax Morgue. Delivered with precision and force. Ltd x 300 copies. Recommended!!

CRIMSON GARDEN - 'The Dark Mother' CD (Drama Company) - £9

The debut album from this French Doom Metal / Darkwave duet, dedicated to the Lilith Myth, a succubus, a vampire who didn't follow the path of wisdom and instead wandered among shadows. Heavenly female vocals and darkest male vocals delivering dialogues between Lilith, Adam, Samael and Lucifer.

LIYR - 'Fragments Of Dust' CD (Rage In Eden) - £11

LIYR is a French martial act born in 2008. Heavily inspired by neoclassical, bombastic percussion and industrial martial sounds Liyr creates his own characteristic atmosphere. Behind the harshness of the percussion, there is an esoteric thought about Celtic tradition and legends - LIYR is the God of Sea in Celtic myths. But the main idea is that we all live in a changing world dominated by sort of feelings like hate and love, fear and pleasure - in his music and lyrics LIYR talks about all these feelings. Digipak.

MARCH OF HEROES - 'Liberation' CD (Rage In Eden) - £11

After many years of silence, the much-anticipated new album of Polish act March Of Heroes is finally here! March of Heroes has created music similar to their debut album "March For Glory". Still present is the bombastic percussion, orchestral arrangements and melancholic, dark ambient atmospheres which make March of Heroes bravely enter the regions of Toroidh or Karjalan Sissit. Comes in a digipak.

MAURIZIO BIANCHI & JAN-M. IVERSEN - 'Rekviem MB-JMI' CD (Silentes)
- £10.50


Another extraordinary collaborative CD, this time involving Jan-M. Iversen, an artist of international fame who managed to enrich and elaborate the "sound materials" provided by Maurizio Bianchi with great effect. The ultimate celebration for the perpetual rest of the current modern technological decay, in which the liturgical spirituality of MB instigates the gloomy inclination of JMI in order to obtain an environmental celebration of the last days of this convict system of things. This is a classic minimal ambient effort, consisting of one long piece.

OÖPHOI - 'Hymns To A Silent Sky' CD (Nextera) - £10.50

An album of epic, deep, evocative space music that stretches out in front of you in its own infinite universe of sounds. The music is deeply connected with the mysteries of the sky: clouds moving slowly, delicate and dramatic colors merging together beyond the horizon line, winds carrying voices and sounds from distant  times. A remarkable work full of poetry. "A silent, impassive sky is watching us. An impending sky full of signals that we should learn to read and perceive. A sky which reflects our moods, hopes and fears.

OÖPHOI & TAU CETI - 'Subterranea' CD (Nextera) - £10.50

After their acclaimed debut "Celestial geometries", considered as one of the best space ambient albums ever, italian sound sculptors Oöphoi and Tau Ceti are back with the long awaited second CD "Subterranea",  inspired by a book about the myth of Agharti, the hidden realm located in central Asia. Vast sonic explorations with synths, flutes, stones and shells, ranging from subtle and mysterious atmospheres to highly dynamic passages, describe this out of reach underworld. The last part of the long suite "The chamber of eternity" features the unique sound of the tibetan singing bowls of Klaus Wiese. After the outer space adventures of their first CD, "Subterranea" deals with the inner space. Ltd x 1000 copies.

SACHER PELZ / AMUN CELL - 'Hibakusha' CD (Silentes) - £10.50

Cyclic loops based on static drones, intersected by electronic frequencies algorithmic variations of undefined sonic materials, moved by delays and landscape perspective variations recurring in space, a sequence of metallic waves in a continuous tone variation, heavy dissonance sonic stratification in progressive and pseudo-random composition / decomposition; desolate silences corrupted by resounding echoes of evolving electric rhythmic impulses. Long awaited re-issue of this unbelievable album by Maurizio Bianchi / Sacher-Pelz and Sandro Kaiser / Amun Cell, previously only available on limited CDR.
