SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY | Deep Frieze CD (CSR72CD)

Shipping: 12th April 2007
Ultra deep, glacial Dark Ambient, based around Antarctic co-ordinates. The polar regions are awe-inspiring environments of inhospitable minimalism, and at the same time there's a beautiful serenity to be found in their uncharted bleakness. There's a powerful purity and a timelessness to be found there; snow which has lain un-trampled for millennia and ice which formed eons ago; mountain ranges and deserts and rivers to be found if you look. 'Deep Frieze' is SRF's second album for Cold Spring and here deep, resonant, abyss-like drones shine forth from icy chasms below.

SHINJUKU THIEF | The Scribbler CD (CSR62CD)

Shipping: 12th April 2007
Reissue of the 1992 classic by this Australian genius, originally released in an edition of 500 copies. Occasional bursts of factory noise, industrial rumblings and disembodied German voices form the backdrop to a minimalist reworking of Kafka's "The Trial." An album of dense filmic atmospheres and orchestral instrumentation. 'The Scribbler' has been digitally remastered and is enhanced with a series of video clips constructed by Richard Grant (I+T=R), incorporating both new material together with the original images prepared for "The Scribbler" live show.

INANNA | Day Ov Torment CD (CSR71CD)

Shipping: 12th April 2007
Reissue of the massive Death Industrial album from this ARCHON SATANI side-project, originally issued by Staalplaat in 1993. INANNA were at the forefront of a new force in Doom Ambience way back in the early '90s. This is stunningly re-mastered and re-packaged album brings alive one of the classic scene albums - a milestone in ultra grim and crushing death sonics, that paved the way for many Drone and Ritual Industrial bands around today. Mixed by J Havukainen (IN SLAUGHTER NATIVES).

ARDITI - 'Marching On To Victory’ CD (Equilibrium Music) - £12 / £13 / £14
Originally released in 2003 by Svartvintras Productions in an edition of 1000 copies. The legacy that one half of the project brought from his work with Puissance was fairly evident, yet the focus on his work as Arditi was not so much beautifully orchestrated narrations of the apocalypse, but far grimmer depictions of the past centuries world conflicts. Field recordings and speeches were incorporated into Arditi's compositions, adding a disturbing tone to the predominant military snare-drums, symphonic arrangements and hypnotic soundscapes. The suffocating combination between martial classical arrangements and sombre atmospheres would set Arditi's debut album as one of the bleakest releases on the Militaristic Neoclassical movement. "Marching on to Victory" is now made available again, in a deluxe black with silver print digipak, featuring 2 bonus tracks.

Also available:

ARDITI - 'Destiny Of Iron' 7"
ARDITI - 'Standards Of Triumph' CD
ARDITI - 'Standards Of Triumph' LP


ASTRO - 'Black Bloody Cosmos’ CDR (Rape Art Productions) - £6 / £7 / £8
As the title suggests, this is way-out-there cosmic, psychedelic noise and experimental electronics from Japanese Noise legend Hiroshi Hasegawa (ex-C.C.C.C.). One 47-minute long cosmic voyage. Limited to just 50 hand-numbered copies. Home-made CDR and artwork in a standard PVC slip. Imported from Ecuador. Limited copies available!

ASTRO / ANALOG SUICIDE - 'Live In Tokyo’ CDR (Transmit Records) - £6 / £7 / £8

BRANDKOMMANDO - 'Pax Vobiscum’ Pro-CDR (Brandkommando / Beast Of Prey) - £10 / £11 / £12
Brandkommando are a Polish Power Electronics / Harsh Noise project. Terrorism = Aggression, Aggression = Violence, Violence = Terrorism. 8 tracks and 70 minutes of music. Limited edition release of 100 hand-numbered copies, again in special handmade packaging. Professionally printed CDR. Polish import.

DEAD FACTORY / ATUM - 'Strefa’ Pro-CDR (Beast Of Prey) - £10 / £11 / £12
Split release of two Polish dark Industrial projects, providing 4 songs apiece. "Strefa" is a cold and dark fusion of industry, factory halls and musical space in over 50 minutes of music. Presented in another nice handmade package from BOP, containing two photographs and steel mesh. Pro-CDR, limited to 213 hand-numbered copies. Polish import.

ATUM - 'Agorafobia' Pro-CDR


DIAGNOSE: LEBENSGEFAHR - 'Transformalin’ CD (Autopsy Kitchen) - £12 / £13 / £14
Dianose Lebensgefahr is a side-project of Nattramn (Silencer). 'Transformalin' was recorded during a year of rehabilitation at Växjö Psychiatric Ward and, unlike Silencer's Black Metal sound,' is experimental ambient soundscapes with tortured vocals and dark Industrial beats. Dense sounds populate each track and haunt the songs with dank drippings of evil mental traumas. Melancholy hasn’t been this low in a long time. File next to label-mate Stalaggh. Originally released in 2006 by Ominous Drone.

ÍON - 'Madre, Protégenos’ CD (Equilibrium Music) - £12 / £13 / £14
Íon is the brainchild of Duncan Patterson (Antimatter, Anathema) and is named after the Gaelic word for 'pure'. Although primarily a solo project, a number of guest musicians are involved in this new venture by the Ireland-based musician, which hereby explores a more acoustic, dreamy and organic side to his composition. Having Irish mysticism and an exotic Mediterranean backdrop as its essential cornerstones, the project has slowly evolved into an international venture, stretching over continents and oceans. The music seems to elude strict categorisation, and even the apparently all-encompassing definition of World Music falls short in defining the ethereal moods that "Madre, Protégenos" comes to reveal. Presented in a sumptuous, black and gold foil-blocked, 6-panel digipak.

KNIFELADDER - 'Organic Traces’ CD (Operative Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
"Organic Traces" is the first full length release by London act KnifeLadder and features percussion by John Murphy (Death In June, SPK etc), bass and electronics by Hunter Barr (AntiValium), vocals and electronics from Andrew Trail (Inertia, AntiValium), and a guest appearance on one track by Andrew King. A rare and exemplary example of tribal industrial, spewing forth as much earth born fire and dripping with the same salty burn of sweat and blood as other seminal acts from the genre, yet endowed a sense of here and now that keeps it contemporary and vital.

KNIFELADDER - 'The Spectacle’ CD (Cryonica) - £12 / £13 / £14
"The Spectacle" is the follow up to the monumental "Organic Traces" album. This tribal organic Industrial trio consists of Andrew Trail (Inertia, AntiValium), John Murphy (SPK, The Associates, Death in June), and Hunter Barr (AntiValium, Infant Skull Surgery) - here unleashing an amazing (proper) industrial album of pounding percussion mixed with doomy electronic soundscapes and twisted songs melodies. For fans of Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Whitehouse etc.

KREPULEC / OUTOFSIGHT - 'Furious Friends’ Pro-CDR (Beast Of Prey) - £10 / £11 / £12
Long-awaited split between two Polish projects, each presenting three new tracks in an Apocalyptic Neofolk style. 33 minutes of tales about people and about the fight of the common man - about perseverance, human deeds, weakness and heroism. The CD is beautifully presented in a 7" sleeve, adorned with an embroidered ribbon. Each release includes a photograph of an AK soldier and is hand-marked with a serial number in an edition of 222 copies.

MUSHROOM'S PATIENCE + OUTOFSIGHT - 'Split' CD


MECHA / ORGA - '56:24’ CD (Absurd) - £12 / £13 / £14
Mecha / Orga is the name chosen by Yiorgis Sakellariou from Greece. This work, indicated by it's length, was created one afternoon in February 2006, and played live thereafter a couple of times. The length becomes the title, and the listener can come up with his or her own story. Over the course of the fifty-six minutes and twenty-four seconds Sakellariou plays a slowly unfolding piece of Drone music, which grows in intensity throughout. When you think nothing more can be added, he adds another layer. And another. And another. Most suitable to play in the dark, at night. Or during the day, outside, watching plants grow. Multi-purpose music, I'd say. Great stuff. Powerful music. [FDW / Vital Weekly]. Presented in a full-colour wallet.

MEGAPTERA - 'Staring Back At You’ CD (Malignant Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
The definitive last statement from this prominent and highly influential Death Industrial project. "Staring Back At You" collects demo versions, outtakes, and rare songs from various arenas, including the rare compilations "Zyklon B", "Beating the Meat", "Slaughter Age '95", "The Book Ov Shadowz", "Death Odors II", as well as material from the "Deep Inside" MLP and more - all remastered for this release. These tracks capture Megaptera at their grittiest, creepiest, and most horrifying... a grinding, lurching monstrosity fueled by the madness, violence, lies, wars, and disease that plague the world. 'Staring Back At You' is final nail in the coffin for Megaptera, and may they rest in peace, but continue to deliver nightmares, maddening thoughts, and the darkest of obsessions. Limited to 800 copies in a beautiful 6-panel digipak.

Also available:

MEGAPTERA - 'The Curse Of The Scarecrow' CD
MEGAPTERA - 'You Will Never Survive This Nightmare' 2 x CD


MERZBOW - 'Metamorphism’ CD (Very Friendly) - £10 / £11 / £12
"Metamorphism" is a powerfully emotional, violently painful, and strangely ambient work - ungodly deep and loud pulses, around which is wrapped all sorts of whistling and buzzing. There is also abstract guitar strumming throughout chaotic sheets of static and ear-splitting metallic scrapes overwhelming the carefully constructed rhythm. Pocket-friendly reissue of the legendary marble box, in a slimline jewel case. Ltd x 500.

Also available:

MOLJEBKA PVLSE - 'Sadalsuud’ CD (Some Place Else) - £12 / £13 / £14
For this album, Mathias Josefson collaborated with colleagues from the Royal University Of Arts, Stockholm, who provided him with various sound sources. "Sadalsuud" refers to a star of the same name in the constellation of Aquarius. The name comes from an Arabic phrase meaning "the luckiest of them all". Nevertheless the album is rather earthy-sounding, yet mystical and surreal, almost claustrophobic at times. The sound is quite reminiscent of some works by Nurse With Wound, Maeror Tri or The Hafler Trio, but carries the trademark Moljebka Pvlse feel. Digipak, Finnish import.

Also available:

MOLJEBKA PVLSE - 'Dvnkl' CD
MOLJEBKA PVLSE / HOROLOGIUM - 'Kaukasus' CD
NEGRU PVLSE (NEGRU VODA / MOLJEBKA PVLSE) - 'Madiera' CD


NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'The Church Of Dead Girls’ 2 x CD (Malignant Records)
- £16 / £17 / £18
RESTOCK! Having coined the term “Power Romance”, Leech now seeks to refine and solidify the idea into a true sound and vision of his own, once again combining the volatile, highly charged delirium of power electronics with the claustrophobically heavy atmospheres of dark ambient. “The Church of Dead Girls” is a darker and more disturbing journey than any previous NTT release, but is nevertheless rife with the brutal honesty which has begun to permeate every facet of the NTT mindset. The ultimate expression of Power Romance sensibilities, spanning more than two hours of sonic self-evisceration. Packaged in a unique hi-rise digipak.

Also available:

NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'I Fucking Hate You All And I Hope
You All Fucking Die' CD
NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'The Arrow And The Wound' CD


NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'Scenes From The Next Millennium’ CD (Malignant Records)
- £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! NTT present an infinitely bleak and apocalyptic vision that transcends what's normally classified as Power Electronics. This is the sound of a post nuclear-war society, where war machines shudder and the black soot of dying factory production fills the poisonous air. Structured elements of loops and samples meld with caustic textures, erupting amidst bridled chaos and pulsating waves of white hot, saturated noise and distortion. Confrontational vocals, powerful bass and noise that is as dirty as possible. Sits nicely beside Con-Dom, Grey Wolves and Propergol.

Also available:

NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'I Fucking Hate You All And I Hope
You All Fucking Die' CD
NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'The Arrow And The Wound' CD


NEKYIA - 'Slowmotion Downhells’ CD (Beast Of Prey) - £12 / £13 / £14
The latest NEKYIA album is an incarnation in Dark Ambient sounds with some rhythms. "Slowmotion Downhells" is the forth album presenting the alchemistic / ritual face of the project. The 52 minutes of material here will take you to an underworld filled with dark sounds. The CD is packaged in a piece of folded parchment with two inserts in A5 format and is wax-sealed. Ltd x 400. Polish import.

Also available:

NEKYIA - 'Purgatory As The Serpent Domain' CD


PARANOIA INDUCTA - 'Gloria Laus’ CD (Beast Of Prey) - £12 / £13 / £14
First part of the Lux Mundi trilogy, "a tribute to all those people who died, were killed, deceived, humiliated or stalked by the Catholic Church". Dark Ambient and apocalyptic Death Industrial sounds from Anthony A. Destroyer (Paranoia Inducta / Goreghast), with guest appearances from eLL (Sui Generis Umbra) and Robert Marciniak (Rukkanor). The handmade package, which is stamped and sealed, contains a 12-page booklet. 50 minutes of music in a limited edition 444 copies. Polish import.

Also available:

STORM OF CAPRICORN / PARANOIA INDUCTA - 'Jama' CD


PRURIENT - 'Shipwrecker's Diary’ CD (Ground Fault Recordings) - £12 / £13 / £14
"Shipwrecker's Diary" is the most pure noise recording that Prurient has done to date. In order to meet the criteria for the series III "aggressive all the time", this release focuses more on speed, texture, current, and reoccurring themes, as generated by electronics, more so than enviormental and atmospheric passages. Source sounds were also provided by Lindsey Watkins and Macronympha for extra spice. This disc is a tip of the hat to the harsh noise community!

Also available:

AKITSA / PRURIENT - 'Split' CD
PRURIENT - 'Troubled Sleep' CD


PUISSANCE - 'Back In Control’ CD (Equilibrium Music) - £12 / £13 / £14
Following the awe-inspiring debut "Let Us Lead", Puissance would return a couple of years later to unleash "Back In Control", a cynical tribute to human evolution and how such evolution inevitably seems to dictate the end of the World and mankind's own extinction. The impending man-made apocalypse which Söderlund obsessively narrates is superbly illustrated by epic martial compositions, to which the pace is set by loud marching drums and Industrial percussion. A compelling work of art, that would bring Industrial music to a new climax, thanks to the glorious Neoclassical arrangements that Puissance have developed for the album. Originally issued via Cold Meat Industry, this rare classic is now finally made available again. "Back In Control" has been remastered and enhanced with one bonus track. Deluxe digipak edition with embossed cover.

PUISSANCE - 'Grace Of God’ CD (Equilibrium Music) - £12 / £13 / £14
Three years after "State Collapse", the cogwheels of the Puissance warmachine have been fine-tuned and put to work again, in a crushing motion that seems to be as defiant and innovative as ever. Musically, "Grace Of God" could well be referred to as a re-definition of the over-abused "Martial-Pop" term, yet Puissance's own superior combination of sumptuous Neoclassical and Industrial elements raises any potential Pop anthem to an entirely distinct level. More melodic and vocal-oriented than before, this latest opus also comes to expose a more rhythmic approach that had been hinted at in previous releases, but which has now morphed into a powerful and relentless driving force in Söderlund and Möller's compositions. Compellingly militant and beautifully apocalyptic, "Grace of God" finds Puissance in top form. Includes an encrypted bonus track! Presented in a stunning spot-varnished, matt digipak. Highly recommended!

SUTCLIFFE JÜGEND - 'Live Assault 01’ CD (RRRecords) - £12 / £13 / £14
Recorded at Sutcliffe Jügend's first official live action after 20 years of existence - Hinoeuma Malediction at the Red Rose Club, London, August 2005. 30 minutes of hard and high-pitched power electronics, much in the vein of Whitehouse, Consumer Electronics etc. As with all RRReleases, each cover is uniquely printed - this time onto other people's CD artwork. Act fast!

SUTCLIFFE JÜGEND - 'This Is The Truth’ CD (Ground Fault Recordings / Hospital Productions)
- £12 / £13 / £14
"This Is The Truth" is the first Sutcliffe Jügend studio album in eight years and quite possibly stands as one of the most original and perfectly balanced noise compositions of the last 10 years. It references and uses classic Sutcliffe Jügend of old, while bringing in an entirely unique and fresh element one does not hear in noise. This album is a brilliant blend of foreboding tension, and anxiety while using the most lively, disturbing, and textual elements of noise, all of which are brought together with the phenomenal detail and balance of an accomplished electronic composer. Songs that you think will explode leave you hanging with tension, while others erupt with violence out of nowhere. An absolutely brilliant album that was worth the wait! Ltd x 1000.

TERRA SANCTA - 'Aeon’ CD (Malignant Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! The stunning, formal debut of Australia’s Terra Sancta. A descent from air to earth that comes bearing down with a crushing, cosmic weight, sending out cataclysmic eruptions of blinding sonic dust across an already wind swept and barren landscape. Four tracks, each track aptly named ("Cold Light Infusion", "Black Sun", "Blood Red Sea", "Drowned - Desert Earth II") and each track a vibrant, kinetic piece climaxing time and again in tumultuous, majestic patterns. Rarely has a dark ambient release come forth with so much unbridled power and depth, a sound so expansive it blasts forth in wide screen, cinematic proportions. Recommended!

TEXT OF LIGHT - 'Un Pranzo Favoloso (A Fabulous Lunch)’ CD (Final Muzik) - £12 / £13 / £14
A mesmerizing evening of sound and image with an improv supergroup paying tribute to the landmark avant-garde films of Stan Brakhage. The prolific Brakhage (1933-2003) produced nearly 400 experimental "light poems" that were largely hypnotic explorations of light, image, and distortion. The live concert soundtrack for this event (26 May 2005, Auditorium Concordia, Pordenone, Italy) was led by Sonic Youth's guitarist Lee Ranaldo and also includes percussionist Tim Barnes, guitarist Alan Licht and Berlin-based saxophonist Ulrich Krieger (Zerfall_Gebiete). Ltd x 1500 copies in a beautiful digisleeve.

THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT - 'Of Dreams Forgotten And Fables Untold’ CD
(Equilibrium Music) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! The Moon and the Nightspirit present a mystical journey into the realms of dreams and beauty, long-forgotten by modern man. A journey inspired by pagan fables and ancient Hungarian folk music. "Of Dreams Forgotten" offers 9 beatific songs filled with enchanting female vocals, violins, woodwinds (kaval, low whistle, flute) and piano, accompanied by acoustic guitars and shaman/frame drums. An enchanting voyage into the ethereal realms.

VON THRONSTAHL - 'Sacrificare - Gold Edition’ Pro-CDR Boxset (Fasci-Nation) - £40 / £45 / £50
Special pre-release, personal edition of the brand new album from Von Thronstahl, the official edition being released by Cold Spring (CSR82CD) in May 2007.

Von Thronstahl deliver real traditional Neofolk, alternating between intense and powerful, to romantic and orchestral tunes, but always very melodic.

Zbigniew Karkowski is a Polish-Swedish composer and musician presently living and working in Tokyo, Japan. Psychedelic white noise shifting between Power Electronics and prolonged bursts of harsh feedback and high oscillating frequencies.
