20.SV - 'Acid Vomit . Human Genocide' CD (Autumn Wind Productions) - £12 / £13 / £14

The first recording of 20.SV made back in year 2000. A project with one goal in mind: to channel the visions of an industrialised, post-apocalyptic, bio-nuclear, radioactive world into the form of frequencies. A 2-part apocalyptic nightmare. 'Acid Vomit' channels crafted frequencies of the birth of the nuclear age and embodies visions of a time to come. 'Human Genocide' captures a detailed image of the massive nuclear bombing of the major cities of the world without mercy - and the vision of these destroyed cities - the emptiness, desolation, destruction. The soundtrack to a ruined universe.


ATRAX MORGUE - 'No More' CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14

RESTOCK! “Atrax Morgue seems to have reached the terminal stage, after more than 10 years of aberrant activity in music de-composing and sound's murder. "No More" is a non-compromise work, a reflection of a man that is watching his end, the cold analysis of the inutility of any action. Obsessive, schizophrenic, violent minimal electronic sounds are a soundtrack of a cold hell of nothingness and purity. But the only words that can explain this work are two and simple: NO MORE!!!” Ltd x 505 copies only!


BARDOSENETICCUBE - 'Bad Heaven' CDR (Ostroga) - £8 / £9 / £10

One more record from Petersburg surrealist Igor Potsukajlo. Dark-drone ambient with a Christian theme. A deep, bottomless atmosphere of the uneasy sky and church singing. Toward the end of the record you find out yourself in a perfect other place. The full colour artwork is adorned with the image of an icon found in old Ural village. Ltd x 222 hand-numbered copies in out-sized package with 3 burnt inserts. Russian import.


BRASIL - 'Wander Till Spring' CD (Nefryt) - £12 / £13 / £14

First CD from Polish label Nefryt! Brasil is a side project two musicians from One Inch of Shadow. This is a re-edition of very rare CDR with a new tracks. Brasil have used a lot of acoustic instruments on this release: bells, cymbals, trumpet, lingatone, bontempi, flutes, didgeridoo, drums, xylophone, mandolin, broken trombone etc, and old electronic devices, tape recorder and voice. Subtle and esoteric sounds, psychedelia, delicate rhythms, sadness and melancholy. Comes in a nice A5 gatefold cover. Limited and numbered to 365 copies only.


FLESH ON STEEL - 'Notausgang' Pro-CDR (Archetyp) - £10 / £11 / £12

A French artist obsessed with the interaction between man and machines. Haunting litanies to exorcise the demons hidden in the circuits and the organic cells. An enthralling Industrial project that lurks within the nightmarish terror of Megaptera or the deep and threatening soundscapes of Inade, Dagda Mor etc. Add a lighter touch on some tracks and you’ll get the whole idea of a twisted dream that bathes in rust and dust. This is the machinery of a new joy, wrapped in a nice packaging with great artwork and brought to haunt you in daydreams or restless nights.


HARVEST RAIN - 'Night's Glow' CD (War Office Propaganda) - £12 / £13 / £14

The masters of American dark folk return with their third full-length album, and second appearance on well-respected Polish label War Office Propaganda. Eleven beautiful songs, and 42 minutes of haunting, atmospheric and melancholic music. Glossy varnished digipak with original cover designed by Michal Karcz and reproduction of Tor Lundvall's paintings inside.


HATI - 'Zero Coma Zero' Pro-CDR (Nefryt) - £10 / £11 / £12

Recorded especially for Nefryt, new studio material from this fantastic duo. A lot of exotic instruments and self-constructions built specifically for this occasion. Special acoustics, somewhere between Z'EV (who incidentally embarked on a Polish tour with Hati recently) and Pauline Oliveros. All this built on a foundation of minimal and contemporary ethno-ambient. Polish import, ltd x 250 numbered copies. Factory-duplicated CDR with professionally-printed golden artwork. A very nice piece.


HATI Vs Z'EV - '#1' CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14

A sensational collaboration between HATI & Z'EV, the unique Rythmajick’s master. Here the sound-qabalhist melts some raw audio-material provided by Hati in order to condense approx. 50 minutes of AL-chemical sounds. Hati are a great Polish duo playing inspired psych-ambient soundscapes mixing gongs, metal discs, aluminium bars with wooden pipes, animal horns and trumpets. Well-known percussionist Z'EV edited and treated Hati’s tracks (originally recorded in 2003). His rhythmajickal remix creates structures with a long range of mystical drones. Highly recommended to true experimental magick-percussive industrial music-lovers! Ltd x 950 copies in out-sized package with 2 postcards.


[HAVEN] - 'The Last Breath Of Lonely Buildings' Enhanced CDR (War Office Propaganda) - £10 / £11 / £12

RESTOCK! An excellent atmospheric ambient/industrial in the vein of best Raison d'etre recordings. A great debut from this Polish act! Beautiful sounds, oriental rhythms and Gregorian choirs. Very interesting video clip included! Presented in a nice digipak.


HILTER - 'Sex Films' CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14

In this release the use of electronics in expecially wholesome and not used as a mere backdrop. This album has moments of sheer splendour and is more than just an enjoyable excursion of hard electronics. An endless stream of resonanting frequences, swinging from higher harmonics to lower pitches, reflective but totally alien music. A cohesive and enjoyable collection of explicit sadist episodes expressing Industrial talent with lasting potential. A great album in all, with a variety of sounds to hold it away from monotony. Ltd x 500 numbered copies in out-sized package. As might be expected, very explicit sexual imagery throughout! Please state you are over 18 when buying this release!


MERZBOW - 'Live In Geneva' CD (Walnut + Locust) - £12 / £13 / £14

The Godfather Of Noise returns! As can be gleaned from the title, this is a recording of Merzbow live in Switzerland. Abrasive noise, big rhythms and (to be expected) and onslaught of noise. Recorded at Cave 12 on 10th March 2005, there is apparently no editing involved on this release. One long track at just under 55 minutes. Ltd x 500 copies only!


OUR GOD WEEPS - 'Prodromus' 7" (Ars Benevola Mater) - £6 / £7 / £8

Beautiful release from this Hungarian act, known for their quality material on Hau Ruck! and MozgaloM, and live member of Kriegsfall-U. Melancholic black and white atmospheres accompanied by distant echoes of battles already forgotten. Epic Neo-Classical aria cross elegant musical ornaments of Mitteuropean source for an opera characterised by sounds which are marble-like in their form and brave in their spirit. Ltd x 479 thick vinyl copies in an elegant textured gatefold.


OXYD Meets SUMAD - 'Mysterious Places Of Dead Souls' CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14

Dark ambient soundscapes accompanied by the restless breath of drones and samples overwhelmed with typically distressing Scandinavian atmospheres. "Mysterious Places Of Dead Souls" gloomy horizons reflect upon landscapes of sombre uneasiness delivering the ideal soundscape to new and unknown dimensions. Ltd x 545 copies in out-sized package.


RADIO KUOLEMA - '10050 Cielo Drive' CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14

With closed eyes Radio Kuolema attempts a real documentary, where the tragic events linked to the Manson “family” offer the black humus on which the music ideally sticks the obsessions of homicide mysticism which marked out an enduring trail of blood in the american collective unconscious. “10050 Cielo Drive” is the sound, the image, the memory. In these atmospheres the innocence and the frenzy of a world already on the edge of the abyss find shelter: an abyss where the children stare silent at whole cities devoured by flames, while they are still holding tight long knives in their hands. Ltd x 545 numbered copies in out-sized package.


TAMÁS KÁTAI - 'Erika Szobája' CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14

This Hungarian talent creates music with a very poignant sensibility. The tracks on this album create a kind of chamber-music opera played with the help of a small ensemble of special guest musicians: Anita Birò and Gabriella Racz on violins and Andrea Derdack on cello, while Krisztina Toth provided the lyrics, which have been translated into English language in an enclosed booklet. This album contains 56 minute approx. of very beautiful classical acoustic tunes blended with today’s electronic music innovations. Ltd x 1000 copies in a digipak.


TIERMES - 'Malahvia' CDR (None) - £10 / £11 / £12

RESTOCK! A nice self-release from the Finnish duo. Temple of Tiermes' music varies from sludgy guitars tracks (ala Skullflower) to minimal ambient soundscapes (ala Dual or Troum). Includes a large printed poster, and the whole thing is wrapped inside a black sheet and tied with rope.


TOR LUNDVALL - 'Empty City' CD (Strange Fortune) - £12 / £13 / £14

Where “Last Light” was about looking inward, “Empty City” ventures out to a fantastic, frightening new world, a decayed urban setting much different than anything Tor ever explored in the past. Where “Last Light” was centered around words, on “Empty City” the music takes over once again. There are vocals but used exclusively in an instrumental manner, no lyrics needed this time. The subtle underlying melodic structure of this music means it may be the most listenable "ambient" music you've ever heard, while it's all drenched in a singularly moody, haunted atmosphere that is Tor's real trademark. File under “ghost ambient”. First edition is limited to 955 numbered copies in matt digipak.


VOMIT ORCHESTRA - 'Macabre Paradigm' 2 x CD (Autumn Wind Productions) - £15 / £16 / £17

Vomit Orchestra was formed in 2001 for the purpose of exploration and experimentation. "Macabre Paradigm" is a Black Ambient creation spanning their career to date. CD1 contains all of the original public cassettes of Vomit Orchestra in their original form. CD2 contains studio material that has remained largely unreleased even within the creator's own circles. Thus, this material will once again be available to those who would have and appreciate it. "Vomit Orchestra represented both the Dayside and the Nightside, the grotesque and the beautiful, Khaos and Pleroma- and within the static and manes ov the dead shall Vomit Orchestra always remain".


YAO 91404 D - 'The Workers Song' CDR (Ostroga) - £8 / £9 / £10

Catacomb old-school industrial with a totally analogue sound, built on metal percussion, squeals and buzzes of electro-engines, radionoise and tape loops. A song about locomotive and proletarian-futuristic verses are inserted between the industrial tracks. The 4th composition is a live transmission from the workshop where hard and sweating all over, but well-organized and gaily the locomotive is being born. Deliberately lo-fi quality, but with the burning eyes! Ltd x 160 in A5 packaging with insert. Russian import.


VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'The Trinity Of Non-Being' CD (Autumn Wind Productions) - £12 / £13 / £14

Three-way split between Black Seas Of Infinity, Kaniba and Ugegi Aoiveae A Ser. "The Trinity of Non-Being focuses and reifies, the manifestation of non-manifestation, through searing, transcendent whispers, to the bottomless depths of unbecoming, the keys to the palace of wisdom are revealed, through the cacophonous creations of these artists. The initiation of the angular interstices has begun." Experimental Black Noise mixed with Satanic Ambient.


VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Triumvire - Black Edition' CD Box (War Office Propaganda) - £14 / £15 / £16
