PAYPAL
Many of you will have noticed the absence of CDRs on the Cold
Spring website over the past week. This is due to PayPal tightening
their ridiculous CDR policies. Basically, no-one is allowed to
sell 'recordable media' through a store that is PayPal integrated,
such as our store is. So, rather than remove our PayPal option
(which the majority of our customers favour), we have removed
all CDRs / Pro-CDRs / DVDRs from the Cold Spring website.
Not
to worry! We are in the process of creating a website purely for
Pro-CDRs / CDRs / DVDrs and will let you know as soon as it is
online! In the meantime, you can download a Word file containing
all these items, which are all still available to buy. Simply
email us your order and your preferred payment method, and we
will send you an invoice.

| Division
One CD (CSR61CD) |
 |
Available:
November
Powerful debut of the Canadian noise project. 'Division One'
is harsher and more bombastic than Harlow MacFarlane's now
defunct project FUNERARY CALL. A true onslaught of Black Ambient,
dark electronics and industrial machinery. This is the much
anticipated album, after the well received track on our legendary
SWARM sampler.

BARDOSENETICCUBE
& IGOR
V. PETROV - 'The Perpetuum Mobile Space Vehicle’
CD
(Mechanoise
Labs) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Collaborative
material from Bardoseneticcube's recording sessions
with St. Petersburg-based saxophonist Igor V. Petrov.
Definitely one of Bardoseneticcube's most singular and
musical works, with a mixture of irradiated electronics,
sedated drones and urban soundscapes. Utilising saxophone
as a drone instrument, rather than the usual freeform
jazz you'd expect. Ltd x 500 copies in a nice digipak. |
| CAWATANA
/ DER
FEUERKREINER - '63 Days Part III’ 7"
(Fluttering
Dragon) - £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
RESTOCK!
Part III of the 7-part series dedicated to the Warsaw
Uprising, with each chapter on 7" vinyl. (An
additional 63 wooden boxes containing all 7 pieces
will also be made). Split release between Hungarian
act Cawatana and Italian artists Der Feuerkreiner
(one side apiece) Beautiful Neoclassical music mixed
with Martial Industrial. Ltd
x 400 hand-numbered copies in a gatefold cover!
|
| COLD
FUSION - '63 Days Part IV’ 7"
(Fluttering
Dragon) - £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
RESTOCK!
Part IV of the 7-part series dedicated to the Warsaw
Uprising, with each chapter on 7" vinyl. (An additional
63 wooden boxes containing all 7 pieces will also be
made). Polish favourites Cold Fusion, known for their
great releases on War Office Propaganda, present remarkable
Martial Industrial music! Heavy black vinyl. Ltd x 400
hand-numbered copies only! |
| DEAD
MAN'S HILL - 'Lakes Of Sacrifice’ CD
(Bugs
Crawling Out Of People) - £12 / £13 /
£14 |
 |
Fifth
full-length release from this Belgian artist. A brilliant
blend of militaristic drums, epic orchestrations, Death
Industrial and dark sensibilities. 'Lakes of Sacrifice'
is a powerful entity with a horror movie soundtrack
feel; it is classic industrial in the old school way,
yet will surprise and reveal something new to the listening
audience. Includes a great collaboration with Nick Gorman
(Fractured). Ltd x 500 copies. Canadian import. |
| DO
SHASKA! - 'Alchymische Alraune’ CD
(Guerilla
Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
7
tracks of Post-Industrial music from this Cult band!
Do Shaska! are a different, very rare breed. One of
the most mystical Czech projects prove in their latest
recording a sense for dark atmospheres, sampled loops
using tribal instrumentation, chilling electronica,
IDM, rhythmic noise with eerie samples - and for the
first time in their career, live guitars. They spread
their imagination with increasing darkness through various
visions. |
| FUNERARY
CALL - 'The Black Root’ LP (Fluttering
Dragon) - £12 / £14 / £16 |
 |
RESTOCK!
Now defunct project of Canadian artist Harlow MacFarlane
(Sistrenatus). Dark ambient music inspired by occultism
and death. Funerary Call were involved in the early
movement of Black Ambient music prior to its growth
in the genre. True to their origins, Funerary Call embodies
a "cult" sound reminiscent of early CMI artists.
Foreboding atmospheres and ritualistic mystery. Ltd
x 333 copies on heavyweight black vinyl. Highly recommended! |
| JOHN
WATERMANN - 'Babel #1’ CD (Stille
Andacht) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Rare
release from 1993! With 'Babel #1' the late Australian
based composer John Watermann created an engaging world
of sonic and natural sounds processed and used in dramatic
variations. An incredible recombinant use of English
verbal phonemes to simulate natural speech, but babelized.
A nice piece for those into isolationism and disturbing,
experimental electronics. Ltd x 1000. Few copies in
stock - act fast! |
| MEGAPTERA
- 'Disturbance Ritual’ CD (Vendlus)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Megaptera is a beast of mythical proportions, a bastion
within the Cold Meat Industry circles, but while 2006
marks its 15th anniversary it will also be the year
when it finally lays down for the eternal sleep. Those
who never had the chance to attend a Megaptera concert
are here invited to share the experience; to witness
how the live version of the songs are enhanced by
additional film samples and improvised drum beats.
Which was always the very essence of Megaptera: a
transcendental place were the fictitious world of
cinema and the drab monotony of industrialized life
blend together, if only for the duration of an album.
With a track listing that reads like a best-of collection,
supreme engineering and mastering, this is an essential
piece for the Death Industrial collector. Ltd x 1000.
|
| NORDVARGR
/ DRAKH
- 'Cold Void Of Nothing’ CD (Fluttering
Dragon) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK!
Debut release from these two members of MZ.412 under
the banner of Nordvargr / Drakh. Bleak abstract ambience,
slowly shifting sound fields, haunting glimpses into
a dark otherworld, mysterious broadcasts from the
other side, the sound of time and space. Drone music
perhaps, but not static or still, instead rich and
multi layere. A musical universe of lost spirits and
disembodied souls, haunting and harrrowing and so
good!
|
| NORTHAUNT
- 'Barren Land’ CD (Fluttering
Dragon) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK!
Northaunt is an atmospheric dark ambient project from
Norwegian artist Hærleif Langås. ‘Barren
Land’ is his second album and is filled with
icy soundscapes. Full of nature-inspired ambient,
which is cold and dark at times, ‘Barren Land’
is also accessible through its flowing and melodic
character. A beautiful album filled with emotion and
a desolate mood at times, making you feel small amidst
an impressive bleak landscape. Recommended for all
fans of deep, dark ambient. Ltd x 1000.
|
| NORTHAUNT
- 'The Ominous Silence’ CD (Fluttering
Dragon) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK!
Wonderful debut album from this Norwegian Dark Ambient
project – with much of the music along the lines
of Inade or Lustmord, but occasionally straying into
areas populated by the greats like Endvra or Raison
D’Etre. An excellent album of ethereal, icy
atmospheres, stark and cold experimental music and
ominous pressures. Highly recommended! Polish import.
|
| ROCK-A-ROLLA
- 'Issue #6’ Magazine - £5 / £6 / £7 |
 |
The
sixth edition of UK mag Rock-A-Rolla is adorned with
the ever-popular Sunn o))) & Boris, who are also
interviewed along with Isis, Buzz Osborne (Melvins),
James Plotkin (Khanate, Scorn etc), Comets On Fire,
Bloody Panda, The Paper Chase, Anticon, Dub Trio and
Converge. This issue also features articles on Sonic
Youth, Tzadik label and includes the usual vast array
of music, DVD and live reviews. Always recommended!
|
| VARIOUS
ARTISTS - 'Serene Moments’ 2 x 7"
(Fluttering
Dragon) - £9 / £10 / £11 |
 |
RESTOCK! Concept double 7" vinyl presenting mysterious
sounds, chants, whispers and yells. Four magical Dark
Ambient projects present six incredibly mesmerizing
tracks – all exclusive to this release. Artists
featured: NACHT, NORTHAUNT, SHINJUKU THIEF, UMBRA. Ltd

Few in stock! |
| VARIOUS
ARTISTS - 'The Last Bleak Days’ CD
(Bleak
Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Legendary release put together by the folks
behind Northaunt, bringing together several Dark Ambient
projects, both old and new. An isolationist / original
Dark Ambient compilation with exclusive tracks, with
all bands taking inspiration from the title of the CD.
The result is darkly beautiful, bleak and haunting tracks
from: Desiderii Marginis, Tear Ceremony, Philip Samartzis,
Ovum, Nacht, Diskrepant, Necrophorus, Wilt, Svartsinn,
Instincts and Hazard. Highly Recommended! |

Noire) - £9 / £10 / £11 |
 |
Limited
edition MCD (5 songs; 20 minutes). High-density hypnotic
and mesmerizing droning Nordic-influenced BLACK METAL

of like "De Mysteriis dom Sathanas" on a barbituate
mix with steroids cocktail), and San Francisco's WEAKLING;
