| ANGEL
OF DECAY - 'Covered In Scars’ CD (Desolation
House) £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Angel of Decay provides the seventh instalment
of the Desolation House series, Relapse Records/Release
Entertainment's premium dark ambient collection. Angel
of Decay is Jonathan Canady, formerly of both Dead
World and Deathpile, who creates dark surrealism using
vintage analogue keyboards. Covered in Scars blends
chilling dark ambient with words and concepts culled
directly from a lifetime of personal nightmares.
|
| BRIGHTER
DEATH NOW - 'Innerwar’ CD (Release
Entertainment) £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Brighter Death Now is the project of Cold
Meat Industry label chief Roger Karmanik – and
this is easily BDN’s harshest release. Total
electronic abuse for fans of the darkest and most
morose music within the industrial underground. The
grimmest sounding nightmare from the Death Industrial
monster delights us with sounds and drones from beyond
the ordered physical reality! As with all BDN releases,
highly recommended.
|
| DARKWOOD
- 'Weltenwende’ CD (Heidenvolk)
£12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Subsequent to the Darkwood studio album "Herbstgewölk",
"Weltenwende" (originally released as a
10” in 2003) finally sees a reissue on CD. Additional
to the 8 vinyl-only tracks this version includes 3
brand new re-recordings from the long deleted CD "In
The Fields", a collaborative track with Voxus
Imp (from the "Flammende Welt" recordings)
plus one compilation track which only appeared on
vinyl. If you are a Neofolk enthusiast do not miss
this opportunity to embark on a mystical journey filled
with themes of war, rebellion, sacrifice, and nature.
Digipak.
|
| DES
ESSEINTES - 'Mondo Macabro’ CD (Malignant
Records) £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
A classic example of what’s old is new! "Mondo
Macabro" compiles all of your favourite Des Esseintes
vinyl releases since 2000, completely remastered and
boosted them to eye popping levels. If that weren’t
enough, there are also 3 bonus tracks. A great history
lesson in the short existence of Des Esseintes, each
track on each subsequent release just seems to up
the ante, with one track more crushing than the next.
A steady, doom filled procession of post-apocalyptic,
tribal percussion, deadening, jackhammer rhythms,
and dramatic, suspense filled atmospheres.
|
| KOSTNICE
- 'Finsterfelden’ LP (Reue
Um Reue) £13 / £15 / £17 |
 |
Sofia E.R.'s necromantic solo project KOSTNICE lures
its listeners like the pipes of death into lands of
desolation and gloomy apathy, where life seems no
more than a distant echo or a long forgotten memory.
"Finsterfelden" is a ceremonial march into
the world beyond, a sombre procession in the limbo
of our souls, a reminder of what is sure to come and
what therefore already is: our own death and life's
vanity. 10 tracks of funeral march music, a blend
of dark soundscapes, soothing orchestral loops and
discreet use of mysterious samples. The perfect soundtrack
for our everyday "Totentanz" and a must-have
for all of you conscious living dead! Ltd x 270 hand-numbered
copies.
|
| KRISTOFFER
NYSTRÖMS ORKESTER - 'brakeHEAD’
CD (Malignant
Records) £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Kristoffer Nyströms Orkester is a collaborative
project between Peter Nyström (Megaptera / Negru
Voda) and Kristoffer Oustad (V:28). 'brakeHEAD' is
the result of a post-gig improvisation betwen the
two projects from 2005. This is an album that is as
majestic as it is bleak, capturing the essence of
old school Swedish industrial, but forging a new path
towards a dark future. "A phenomenally majestic
piece of dark ambience and noise that will leave you
totally awe struck. The visceral raw power of the
electronics is a thing of untamed beauty that heralds
in a new era by which others must now be judged against."
[auralpressure]. Digipak.
|
| MACRONYPMHA
- 'Intensive Care’ CD (Self
Abuse Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
|
 |
RESTOCK! Macronypmha set the standard for American
harsh noise with this release - their first full-length
CD. 72 minutes of extreme, brutal, harsh, violent
and crunchy noise cut-ups and assaults! Extremely
grisly, graphic and explicit imagery - only for the
most hardened of constitutions. *** Please
state you are over 18 when buying this release!!***
|
| MEGAPTERA
- 'The Curse Of The Scarecrow’ CD (Release
Entertainment) £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Eight exclusive tracks - evolving compositions
of unsettling Death Industrial in the Cold Meat Industry
tradition. “The Curse Of The Scarecrow”
blends dark atmospheres with mechanical rhythms to
create nightmarish, horror-influenced soundscapes.
Highly recommended!
|
MELANCHOHOLICS
- 'A Single Act Of Carelessness’ CD (Multi
National Disaster Records) /
(Deafborn)
£12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Building on the experimentations from their debut
CD (with a mix of field-recordings, guitars, electronically
manipulated sounds and spoken word fragments), Melanchoholics
walk new paths by exploring several acoustic instruments
(such as cello and accordion) and add various sources
for drones to their gloomy mélange. Dark Ambient
Electronics... with minimal guitar melodies and drones.
"Wake up with a thousand dreams and visions all
shattered to dust... Join the noonday demons!"
|
| MERZBOW
- 'Pinkream’ CD (Dirter
Promotions) £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! This CD is a re-issue of the extremely hard
to find and collectable double 10" set of the
same name - with two extra tracks. Brutal Japanese
Noise for the harshest of souls. Ltd x 1000. Very
few copies in stock - act fast on this one!!!
|
| MERZBOW
- 'Venereology’ CD (Release
Entertainment) £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! ‘Venereology' is one of his most abrasive
records and in many ways a definitive Merzbow release.
Sure it's atonal, arrhythmic, non-melodic. By most
dictionary definitions I suppose it isn't music -
except the one that has music as organised sound.
Because this is certainly organised, for those who
have ears to hear: brilliantly produced and mixed,
with layer upon layer of textures and timbres creating
a constantly shifting vista of immersive noise. It
really is ambient music, hypnotic and, dare I say
it, relaxing. Perfect for scouring your ears and head
of all the unwanted noise the world bombards us with.
|
| R-A-A-N
- 'The Nacrasti’ CD (Malignant
Antibody) £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! R-A-A-N delivers dark-ambient in it's classic
pure-form, at times, conjuring the spirit of Heresy-era
Lustmord or vintage Raison D'Etre. Heavy ritualistic
drones, sporadic rhythmic accents, and deep subsonics
that will vibrate your very core. Thematically, The
Nacrasti explores an ancient desert culture that was
advanced beyond its time and yet long forgotten by
history. Your dark evolving journey into this lost
"Nacrastan" landscape is streaked with the
warm hue of sun-bleached rock, sand, gold, and fire.
A serenely brooding work with a myriad of nocturnal
sub-textures. Beautiful packaging.
|
| RAMLEH
- 'Too Many Miles’ CD (Dirter
Promotions) £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Project of Philip Best (Whitehouse) and Gary
Mundy (Breathless). This is the eagerly awaited CD
collection of all the long unavailable Ramleh singles.
While they were originally grouped as a noise band
with contemporaries such as Whitehouse, have migrated
over the years to be considered one of the leading
exponents of UK "noise rock" (similar to
Skullflower etc). Many of these tracks originally
only saw a very limited release. Features artwork
from Philip Best’s personal collection and is
presented in a glossy digipak. Ltd x 1000. Rare and
long out of print!
|
| ROBOT
- 'Issue #2’ Magazine - £2.50 / £3.50
/ £4.50 |
 |
Nice
little fanzine from Turkey (not sure we've ever stocked
any fanzines from Turkey before!). English language
apart from one Turkish interview. 34 pages of interviews
with Einstürzende Neubauten, Richard Ramirez,
Guilty Connector, C-Drik, Sikhara, Niko Skorpio, Ovro,
Joe Colley, Kazuya Ishigami, Penyynep, Hermit, Defektro,
and articles on Grunt and Sunao Inami. A5 xerox zine,
hence the price.
|
| ROCK-A-ROLLA
- 'Issue #4’ Magazine - £5 / £6 / £7 |
 |
Fourth
edition of this bi-monthly UK mag. Features interviews
with Subtle, Chris McGrail ( Slomo - who recently
toured the UK with Sunn 0))) ), Ghostigital, Big Business,
Kaada, Lords, Zombi, Sika Redem. Plus great articles
on Southern Lord and The New Blockaders and a big
bunch of album/live reviews. Always highly recommended.
|
| SLOGUN
- 'Sacrifice Unto Me’ CD (BloodLust
/ Circle
Of Shit) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
This
is the first of the "History Of Violence"
CD re-release series documenting the first seven Slogun
cassette full-lengths. "Sacrifice Unto Me"
was the first Slogun release, issued as a limited
personal edition of 10 just for friends on Slogun's
own Circle Of Shit label in May, 1996, shortly followed
by an edition of 50 copies on the BloodLust! label
in June of 1996. The CD design was executed by John
Balistreri (Slogun), while the mastering was completed
by Jerome Nougaillon (Hermetique / Propergol).
|
| TOTAL
- 'Exploded Star Sad Servant’ CD (Self
Abuse Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
|
 |
Formed
by Matthew Bower (Skullflower / Sunroof!), Total was
a noise and industrial oriented project, often with
help from members of Ramleh and Ake. Bowers went on
to form Skullflower, which ended Total. This album
is representative of the really, really loud and noisy
side of Total - violent guitar expression and pure
noise.
|
| TROUM
& YEN
POX - 'Mnemonic Induction’ CD (Malignant
Records) £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! A 60 plus minute exploration through nebulous,
grey areas of the mind, expansive drones and spiraling
vortexes of sound that hover near the shadowy, distorted
zones of a nightmare before ascending to mountainous
heights and dense, billowing climaxes. Many-layered
atmospherics, mysterious and otherwordly and highly
listenable. This collaboration comes close to the
standard style of Yen Pox but it's sufficiently shaken
up by the more original ideas of Troum. The ultimate
dream-like Ambient experience. Comes in a beautiful
fold-out digipak.
|
| UN
DÉFI D'HONNEUR - 'Le Mort Homme’
12" (Neuropa)
£10 / £12 / £14 |
 |
Peter Savelkoul returns with A Challenge of Honour's
French alias. "Le Mort Homme" is a masterpiece
of elegant, brooding and bombastic Neoclassical music.
With sweeping, nostalgic strings, martial percussion
and orchestrations, this a compelling and majestic
requiem. Presented in a beautifully designed, exquisite
gatefold, this a true must-have! Ltd x 444 copies.
|

Control Activities) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
