ARKTAU EOS - 'Mirrorion’ CD (Aural Hypnox) - £12 / £13 / £14

Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached as singular gateways or a slowly unfolding journey of epic proportions, the debut album of ARKTAU EOS is a challenging, complex work. Born of intense private musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned by man and further refined in the temple-laboratory of the duo, it is the distillation of seven arduous months of work. 'Mirrorion' is the music of stellar light thrown down from the Heaven's zenith and its eldritch reflections in the depths below, uniting atavistic elemental noise with serene passages of crystalline, spectral ambience. Comes in an six-panel, A5 booklet. Limited to 1000 copies.


ARKTAU EOS - 'Scorpion Milk’ CDR (Aural Hypnox) - £8 / £9 / £10

'Scorpion Milk' consists of a single album length track, which is best absorbed in a meditative state with minimum outside interference. It is truly a "Mirror Noir" to the album itself - its shadowy companion, the candle-bearer who responds to no call but silence itself. The music can be likened to a dark well, the oily surface of which not only reflects the phantasms of mind recalled through participation in the "Mirrorion" cycle, but is occasionally broken by scorpionic surges of primal Power invigorating the act of contemplation. Comes in a plastic slimline case with hand-painted textures and an insert card. Ltd x 222.


BOCKSHOLM - 'The Haunting Curse Of Skogs-Sara’ CD (Wrotycz) - £12 / £13 / £14

The third terror attack by Bocksholm is now here. After two successful albums, Bocksholm now turns to the root of the problem with the album "The Haunting Curse of Skogs-Sara" - and unfolds the curse she laid upon the town of Boxsholm. The music is a dark and explosive experience, it is harder and stranger than ever. It is a psyhological weapon that sneaks upon its victims. "The citizens of Boxholm will get fucked - and so will probably you!". Bocksholm is the project of Peter Andersson (Deutsch Nepal) and Peter Andersson (Raison D'Etre). Beatutifully presented in a textured fold-out A5 cover. Highly recommended!


English Heretic - 'Wyrd Tales’ CD + Magazine (English Heretic) - £14 / £15 / £16

"Visit the haunts of Matthew Hopkins, the parishes of his victims, the desolate and ravenous bays of Daphne Du Maurier. Excavate among the gnostic ruins of M.R. James and drink in the ojas of Austin Spare's London. From our nation's unconscious libraries we unearth hallucinatory and hermetic monographs. Discover the lost reels of a Frazerian horror film and catalogue the fantastic occult pathologies that ferment from a racial memory of zealot's purge and war time trauma." To complement and animate the 92-page, perfect bound magazine (more of a paperback book really), 'Wyrd Tales' comes with a 70 minute CD containing documentary evidence of our imaginal interpenetrations. Culled from phonographic recordings, in situ improvisations and studio distillations, these aural commentaries provide the finest synaesthetic liqueur to accompany your fireside readings of this Albionic Al Azif.

Flutwacht - 'Creta’ CD (The Tourette Tapes) - £12 / £13 / £14

70 minutes from this now-established German outfit. The music on 'Creta' has a lot of Death Industrial elements, Power Electronics / Noise attacks and also ambient passages. Reminds of Navicon Torture Technologies in places. This standard edition is limited to 222 copies in a DVD case. The Tourette Tapes is a sub-label of Apocalyptic Radio.


Folkstorm - 'Information Blitzkrieg’ CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £12 / £13 / £14

RESTOCK! Folkstorm is the solo project of Mr. Kremator Nordvargr, the mastermind behind MZ.412, Toroidh etc. This is the reissue of the very first Folkstorm release. A unique masterpiece of heavy power electronics and old school industrial, ranging from beat-laden tracks to uncompromising noize and sampled vocals A true masterpiece of new industrial music devoid of politics, religion and contemporaries.


Karna - 'Voron / Raven’ CD (Eternal Pride) - £12 / £13 / £14

As the lead transforms alchemically into gold, the gloomy dark Cold Wave of the older Karna has transformed into the unique Blackened Ambient Music. It's a symbolic hymn to Solitude, Emptiness and Total Dark. The monotonous and hypnotic guitar passages react with the cold Ambient fragments. Seven dead coal-black raven feathers reflecting the dark mentality of one more soul which disappeared in the Dark. Russian import.


Kirlian Camera - 'Erinnerung’ CD (Twilight Records) - £12 / £13 / £14

Re-release of the long-deleted Kirlian Camera masterpiece ‘Erinnerung’. This legendary band commanded by Angelo Bergamini and Elena Fossi, present an incredible album and a trip into the time to the post war Europe, with beautifully expressive female vocals. Another piece of the puzzle into the band discography. The album comes in a deluxe digipak with brand new artwork and includes four bonus unreleased tracks.


Lark Blames - 'Chimney’ CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £12 / £13 / £14

"Chimney" is the final result of a year of sporadic and inspired sessions of improvised music making by Marc Blackie (Sleeping Pictures) and Lloyd James (Naevus). The instrumentation used ranges across piano, percussion, guitar, synthesizer, accordion, electronic treatments and abused microphones to produce pieces whose styles could be variously described as: ambient, mock-power electronics, exotica... but, for the most part, the pieces here simply defy description. Includes guest vocals from Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade, Coil, Sorrow) and John Murphy (KnifeLadder, Shining Vril, SPK, Death In June). Digipak.


Negru Pvlse - 'Madeira’ CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £12 / £13 / £14

RESTOCK! Collaboration between two Swedish masterminds: Peter Nyström (Negru Voda / Megaptera) and Mathias Josefson (Moljebka Pvlse). Both artists are well-known for their releases on Cold Meat Industry, Fin De Siecle Media etc. Great dark ambient in the fine Swedish tradition… two long, beautifully pure and dark tracks with a bleak northern feel. The shimmering drones of Moljebka blending with the more threatening noise interludes and pulsating blackness of Negru Voda.


Nocturne - 'Terroriser Manipuler Conveincre’ CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £12 / £13 / £14

This conceptual album from Nocturne is built arround the figure of "Dr. Mabuse" the anti-hero of Norbert Jacques's novel, the genius of crime and chaos, of finance in a world slowly falling apart in the first years of the 20th Century. Slowly moving tracks, recalling the atmosphere of the years before First World War - a very 'industrial' concept using analogue instrumentation mixed with sound-samples from the beginning of the last century and many samples taken from the legendary "Dr. Mabuse" film. This release comes presented in an oversized 7" Cover with inserts.


Stalingrad - 'Court Martial’ CD (Twilight Records) - £12 / £13 / £14

Re-release of the first album by Stalingrad, a side-project of, and the more orchestral side of, Kirlian Camera. An amazing mixture of bombastic pompous orchestration, combining Neofolk elements with Neoclassical and Industrial atmospheres. Oppressive Neoclassical, utilising militant percussion and heavenly voices, though some tracks have a more industrial feel. Perhaps the soundtrack for a movie about the battle of Stalingrad? Remastered with all new artwork in a very nice digipak. Highly recommended!


Still - 'Remains’ Enhanced CD (Public Guilt) - £12 / £13 / £14

Turntablist Still (Hsi-Chang Lin) unleashes a dark ambient masterpiece that borders on sonic terrorism. Created using only Technics 1200's and an array of effects pedals, 'Remains' is not a "turntablist" record in the traditional sense, but rather ambient with textures. Opening with aggressive noise and evolving into delicate ambience, 'Remains' supersedes the preconceived range of the turntable, infusing emotion into an otherwise inhuman instrument. Also includes a rather nice Super-8 film piece. This first edition of 1000 copies comes encased in a slipcase and finished with a seal.


Theme - 'Our Angels Dislocated’ CD (Lumberton Trading Company) - £12 / £13 / £14

The second album from this UK / Poland-based trio (feat. members of Splintered) offers a rich, organic and atmospheric tapestry of ideas that serve as a revitalised statement of intent. Combining sitars, violin drones, guitar strums, mutterings from an otherwise deserted midnight subway, electronic swirl, piano and all manner of otherworldly textures, 'Our Angels Dislocated' remains both focused and complex enough to cast new shadows with every listen. Complete with exclusive artwork by British sculptor, Mo Jupp. Digipak.


ThighPaulSandra - 'Chamber Music’ CD (Lumberton Trading Company) - £12 / £13 / £14

This highly accomplished and visionary musician has been known for his assistance with groups and artists as diverse as Coil, Spiritualized and Julian Cope as much as his own albums. Combining musique concrète, quasi-dimensional electronics, ravaged hums, atmospheric tones and all manner of different instruments nodding into focus, 'Chamber Music' is an imaginative and focused album, and his most cohesive work to date. Digipak.


Vetrophonia - 'The Space Voyage’ DVD-R (Zhelezobeton) - £12 / £13 / £14

The science fiction film "The Space Voyage" was first shown in Soviet cinema theatres in January 1936. Soviet cinematographers managed to create a surprisingly realistic image of a journey to the Moon for that time - long before the beginning of real space research. The original film had a soundtrack compiled of various classical music compositions. But what could be more appropriate to the constructivist spirit of Soviet times than the retro-futurism of St. Petersburg's noise scene classics? Vetrophonia (Nick Soudnick of ZGA and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov of Linija Mass and Stalnoy Pakt) solved this task with enthusiasm. During 2005 they laboriously collected samples, recorded the parts of electronic and acoustic instruments and composed collages for each specific scene of the film. The result turned out to be beyond all praise. The DVD-R with the movie has an option of turning on English subtitles and comes with a booklet containing an article about the shooting process. Packed in a special cardboard sleeve. Ltd x 250 only – hurry for this one!

Von Thronstahl - 'Bellum, Sacrum Bellum?’ CD (Fasci-Nation) - £12 / £13 / £14

RESTOCK! Instantly recognizable as Von Thronstahl, “Bellum…” fuses Neoclassical militaristic arrangements with harsh industrial, hymns, rock elements and war-time speeches. With a definite nod to Laibach, a varying number of samples are utilized from artists such as Killing Joke, Crass, The Exploited etc... and included is a great cover of Joy Division’s “We Walked In Line”. Presented in a beautiful 6-panel digipak with cut-and-paste artwork inspired by modern war.


Zoät Aon - 'Star Autopsy’ CD (Aural Hypnox) - £12 / £13 / £14

RESTOCK! 'Star Autopsy' presents nine multi-dimensional dark ambient tracks which range from radiant textures, mesmerizing, swirling soundscapes to dense, crushing walls of sound and hidden abstract melodies. By using conventional instruments, various sound generating devices, vocals and other carefully chosen sonic objects Zoät·Aon manages to create an unique, dynamic and truly enigmatic, expansive atmosphere that continuously spirals further towards the unknown areas of consciousness. Comes in an 6 panel cardboard covers with evocative silver-coloured graphics. Beautiful piece and highly recommended! Ltd x 1000.
