BLAKAGIR - 'Carpathian Art Of Sin’ CD (Pulverised Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
BLAKAGIR is the epic Medieval / Neoclassical war music solo project of L.O.N.. Anyone that has heard of his main project Hellveto's Pagan Black Metal masterwork, "In The Arms Of Kurpian Phantom", will want to pick this up immediately, since the similarities are certainly there. However the difference is that Blakagir ia not Metal but epic synthesized Neoclassical hymns, similar to Gae Bolg or Puissance. As with their previous release, "Nostalgia", don't let the 'Metal' artwork fool you! Presented in a sumptuous glossy 8-panel digipak. Very nice piece!

All Blakagir Titles


COFFINS / OTESANEK - 'Coffins / Otesanek’ CD (Parasitic Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
Reissue of the LP split by this pair, releases in early 2007. This is a massive, crushing Doom Metal clash between Japanese act Coffins and formidable Philadephians Otesanek (whose track was recorded by Steve Roach). Ultra-sludge, heavy-duty, guitar mangling suffocation, tipped as one of the best in the genre for 2007. Akin to Burning Witch or Grief.

L'ACEPHALE - 'The Book Of Lies’ 7" (Parasitic Records) - £6 / £7 / £8
A blackened holocaust of extremely aggressive, nihilistic Black Metal / Doom with Dark Ambient and Apocaplytic Folk influences. 2 exclusive tracks clocking in at over 8 minutes per side. Features a complete reworking of 'Book of Lies', with an additional outro featuring Markus Wolff (Waldteufel / Blood Axis). The flip side is a new song 'Seventh Gate' - an epic based on the Voluspa Edda. Crushing production all around. Comes in a heavy deluxe gatefold sleeve with insert. Hand-numbered edition of 1000 copies on blood red vinyl! ACT FAST!

All L'Acephale Titles


NOCTURNE FOR A DYING PLANET - 'SAC101RAS - Black Edition’ 7" (Tsunami Records)
- £5 / £6 / £7
Regular Black Edition - limited to 400 copies. Two tracks of noise from this Athens, Georgia act, entitled 'Bacchus' and 'Kuloscop'. Actual instruments are used to create the sounds instead of just electronics, reminding of a more structured Sunn O))) or a more metal Factrix. Lot's of feedback, harsh guitar noise, ear piercing keyboards, some piano and guttural vocals. Silkscreened sleeves, with black ink on grey paper and pressed onto transparent gold vinyl, complete with insert.

NOCTURNE FOR A DYING PLANET - 'SAC101RAS - Red Edition’ 7" (Tsunami Records)
- £6 / £7 / £8
Collector's Red Edition - limited to 100 copies. Two tracks of noise from this Athens, Georgia act, entitled 'Bacchus' and 'Kuloscop'. Actual instruments are used to create the sounds instead of just electronics, reminding of a more structured Sunn O))) or a more metal Factrix. Lot's of feedback, harsh guitar noise, ear piercing keyboards, some piano and guttural vocals. Silkscreened sleeves, with red ink on blue paper and pressed onto grey / white marbled vinyl, complete with insert.

PHAENON - 'Submerged’ CD (Malignant Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
The debut release of Polish-born artist Szymon Tankiewicz, 'Submerged' is a dark ambient tour de force. Visually and sonically enveloping, this is an album of space and texture, slowly revealing a psychoactive soundscape of majestic, arcing timbres, circadian buzzes, and expansive drones. Heavy, and cosmically weighty in the beginning, 'Submerged' evolves into something more minimalist and serene, radiating a celestial beauty, yet becoming even more bleak and suffocating as it progresses over it‘s 66 minute time frame. A must for dark ambient purists. 6 panel digipak, with artwork by K. Enderlein (LOKI). Mastered by Thomas Garrison (Control). File next to Yen Pox / Caul.

RICHARD RAMIREZ - 'Deconstructed Hand Device' CD (Deadline Recordings) - £8 / £9 / £10
Re-issue of Ramirez's 1995 debut full-length release, originally issued in an edition of 500 copies. "The sounds of tornados ripping and rumbling through, tin roofed shacks scraping together and flying apart, all rendered with low-grade electronics. Abrasive, non-rhythmic, non-ambient harshness...". Two long tracks from the head of Black Leather Jesus / Priest In Shit. Professional CD in PVC wallet.

All Richard Ramirez Titles


SAILOR WINTERS - 'Red At Morn’ CD (Stickfigure / Black Noise Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
Sailor Winters is Ryan Cox who previously served time as one of the vocalists for Georgia power-violence powerhouse Divorce. After numerous self-releases and compilation appearances as Sailor Winters, “Red At Morn” finds Cox utilising power electronics and drone to create a very thick and heavy, but tranquil sound. Sailor Winters will appeal to fans of John Wiese, Daniel Menche and others.

STURMAST - 'Ibis Redibis Nunquam In Bello Peribis’ CD (Cold Meat Industry) - £12 / £13 / £14
Hungarian act Sturmast play folk-influenced martial industrial music. Here real musicians play real instruments, thus introducing the good old band-feeling to the martial industrial scene. The music contains powerful, eruptive percussion (toms, snare, bass drum), haunting violin and cello, acoustic guitar, and a selection of traditional folk instruments. Absorbing atmosphere links the compositions, which vary from hypnotic and monotonous to marching and repetitive, from moody and experimental to beautiful, melancholy-filled delicate. The lyrics, portraying the fight of the historic and modern, spiritual and secular, uplifting and ill-fated, are mostly in Hungarian, with English translations in the stylish digipak with booklet. Reminiscent of fellow Hungarians Kriegsfall-U, Karjalan Sissit or Toroidh.

SYMPHONIA SACROSANCTA PHASMATVM - 'Path To Yirah’ CD (The Ajna Offensive)
- £12 / £13 / £14
Graceful classical compositions mixed with mind-bending dark ambient soundscapes. Yirah is the spiritual state associated with the Sephira of geburah. In contrast to the heart's initial, innate desire to give, deriving from ahavah, yirah expresses one's deeply felt concern and fear lest one's gift fall into the hands of an unworthy recipient who may actually misuse it destructively. Yirah evokes geburah, the might necessary to reject and even fight against negative and destructive forces. 32+ minutes of immersion. Comes with a beautiful booklet containing Latin scriptures.

THE HATERS / BLACK LEATHER JESUS - 'Decaying Behavior' CD (Deadline Recordings)
- £8 / £9 / £10
Split release on Richard Ramirez's own label, with one track apiece. First up is the Haters with a 30-minute long shrieking / high-pitched / extreme frequencies assault. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, Black Leather Jesus follow this up with a pummelling Power Electronics / extreme Noise track ala Sutcliffe Jügend / Merzbow. Professional CD in PVC wallet.

ASMUS TIETCHENS - 'Adventures In Sound & Nachtstücke’ 2 x CD (Die Stadt)
- £15 / £16 / £17

First in a series of 18 CDs aiming to make available all early vinyl albums by Asmus Tietchens between 1980-1991 on CD. This double CD features his very first album "Nachtstücke" from 1980 (incl. 4 bonus tracks) and a second CD with archive material recorded with friend Okko Bekker between 1965-1969. Ltd x 1000.


ATRIUM CARCERI - 'Ptahil’ CD (Cold Meat Industry) - £12 / £13 / £14

The 4th album from composer Simon Heath (Abnocto / Za Frûmi). As ever, he has reinvented himself with a unique ambience and slow rhythms created from his complex and obscure techniques of mental dissolution and musical innovation. A darkened, nightmarish voyage into domains both dreadful and serenely beautiful.


DESIDERII MARGINIS - 'Songs Over Ruins’ CD (Cold Meat Industry)
- £12 / £13 / £14

Reissue of the debut album by this Swedish Dark Ambient legend. "...Melodic atmospheric ambient sounds... the musical description of a tree without its leaves, cold and waiting for spring that never comes...". A highly effective, cold and sparse ambient release, certain to strike a chord among listeners of Raison d'Etre.


MZ.412 - 'Burning The Temple Of God’ CD (Cold Meat Industry) - £12 / £13 / £14

The notorious cult classic that crossed the Industrial sound straight into the heart of the Black Metal underground. Noise meets slamming electronic pounding drums and evil vocal treatments! Kremator Nordvargr and cohorts make a stand against the Christian world. Influenced by the mid-1990's spate of Norwegian church burnings.


MZ.412 - 'Nordik Battle Signs’ CD (Cold Meat Industry) - £12 / £13 / £14

CD issue of the long-deleted LP. An abundance of samples is threaded through the frozen, ritualistic percussion by Sweden's finest Black Industrialists - headed by Kremator Nordvargr. Amid the explosions and hellish marches, Tomas Pettersson (Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio) adds his vocals to a bonus track. A Satanic masterpiece.


NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'The Church Of Dead Girls’ 2 x CD
(Malignant Records) - £16 / £17 / £18

The volatile, highly charged delirium of power electronics, combined with the claustrophobic heavy atmospheres of dark ambient. A darker and more disturbing journey than any previous NTT release, but nevertheless rife with the brutal honesty. The ultimate expression of Power Romance sensibilities. Hi-rise digipak.


ORGANUM - 'Die Letzte Musik Vor Dem Krieg’ 7" (Die Stadt) - £6 / £7 / £8

Two tracks recorded in 2003 with only a vague hint of the classic Organum sound. The drone material is there, but the sound is slightly similar to The New Blockaders, with the addition of random piano chords. David Jackman/Organum still knows how to surprise his followers and is a remarkable conceptualist. Ltd x 400.


ORGANUM - 'Ein Schwärzeres Schwarz’ 7" (Die Stadt) - £6 / £7 / £8

Jackman offers a stately cluster of looped piano chords, with the sustain pedal firmly depressed. Behind this arrangement, very subtle drones flutter in the distance. One of the best works of Organum yet! Limited edition of 500 copies in a minimalist white sleeve with spot varnishing.


R-A-A-N - 'The Nacrasti’ CD (Malignant Records) - £12 / £13 / £14

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. A serenely brooding work with a myriad of nocturnal sub-textures. Beautiful packaging.


RAISON D'ETRE - 'Requiem For Abandoned Souls’ CD (Cold Meat Industry)
- £12 / £13 / £14

The world according to Raison D'Etre is a bleak place populated by shadowy souls abandoned of all hope. This is a remarkably beautiful collection of songs is a true remedy in this age of chaos; when the outside withers away, the inside fills with emptiness, and there's nothing left to believe in.


T.A.G.C. / THE ANTI GROUP - 'Psychoegoautocratical Auditory Physiogomy
Delineated (P.A.P.D.)’ MCD (Die Stadt) - £10 / £11 / £12

The single, long track on this CD is a wonderful example of TAGC's ability to create 'mind-altering' music. Rumour has it that the line up for this release included: Adi Newton (Clock DVA), Andrew McKenzie (The Hafler Trio) and original members M. Hogg and R. Baker. Silver embossed digisleeve. Limited edition of 600 copies.


WILLIAM BASINSKI - 'Variations: A Movement In Chrome Primitive' 2 x CD
(Die Stadt) - £15 / £16 / £17

One of the most beautiful and moving series in the field of experimental music. Created in 1981 using piano tape loops, which were played randomly against themselves creating feedback loops, then bred to create complex new sounds. Joint release with David Tibet's (Current 93) Durtro label in a 4 panel digisleeve.


Z'EV / JOHN DUNCAN / AIDAN BAKER / FEAR FALLS BURNING - ‘Untitled’ 2 x 7"
(Die Stadt) - £10 / £12 / £14

Z'EV provides an intense mix of material, partly originating from a live recording from the 'Atonal Festival' in Berlin (1983). Side B features John Duncan with a strange static sound/noise piece. Both Aidan Baker on Side C and Fear Falls Burning (Vidna Obmana) on Side D make slowly building dronescapes. Ltd x 600 in textured sleeve.


VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Infernal Proteus' 4 x CD Book (The Ajna Offensive)
- £30 / £32 / £34

40 bands from 13 countries each picked a plant / tree / herb and crafted a song to honour it: Ah Cama-Sotz, Alio Die, Allerseelen, Alraune (feat.
