COPH NIA - 'The Dark Illuminati: A Celestial Tragedy In Two Acts’ CD (Cold Meat Industry)
- £12 / £13 / £14
The Thelemic Warlord is back; and after years of silence and solitude Aldenon once again presents us with a true masterpiece. This is an epic saga of eight illuminating pieces trying to penetrate the core of the Darkest Light. Aldenon's characteristic growling coupled with Linus's bombastic drums and Karin's serene voice come together in a tapestry of ritualistic, penetrating and sinister ambiance. Included are three timeless classics in new and improved formats. Choirs, strings and intricate orchestrations bring about an unforgettable tale that won't leave any listener untouched; possibly giving rise to more questions, than it poses answers. Digipak.

All Coph Nia Titles

DAS REUT - 'Arte De Ben Morire’ MCD (Divine Comedy) - £8 / £9 / £10
Das Reut is a side project of Russian dark industrial's leading combo, the mighty Reutoff and Divine Comedy here present their debut release. Mid tempo rhythms flirting with dark Electronica, enhanced by some aggressive vocals, but without any intention of dance floor conquest. Reutoff's tragic and frozen atmosphere still remains. Around 25 minutes of music. Ltd x 500.

All Reutoff Titles


DER ARBEITER - 'Reflejos Del Sol’ CD (Divine Comedy) - £12 / £13 / £14
Sensual and appealing music with a great sense of rhythmn, coming from nowhere... danceable, minimal , dark and deep. A crossing between Allerseelen, the saddest feeling of Blood Axis and the most obscure and exciting part of a new military folk scene like Ô Paradis. Very emotional, rootsy and organic at times, Der Arbeiter is very influenced by ancestral energies. Limited to 1000 copies in a black and white digipak.

All Der Arbeiter Titles


DESIDERII MARGINIS - 'Seven Sorrows’ CD (Cold Meat Industry) - £12 / £13 / £14
Sixth album by this renowned Swedish Dark Ambient project. With the material on "Seven Sorrows", Johan Levin has dug deeper than ever before within the creative depths and so ventures even further into the darklands of dispair and solitude, deeper into the vibrant shadows of the human mind. Strummed guitars and dulcimers blend seamlessly with soaring strings, raging drones, the sound of twisted metal and spoken word. Diverse sources, yet tamed to an intriguing and alluring whole that slowly spin it’s web around the helpless listener and drags them into the vortex of dreamlike darkness. First edition of 2000 copies in 6-panel digipak. Highly recommended!!

All Desiderii Marginis Titles

FOUNDATION HOPE - 'A Call To All Redeemers’ CD (Divine Comedy) - £12 / £13 / £14
Debut album from this act who later signed to Cold Meat Industry. The music of Foundation Hope creates pieces of dramatic film music. The band is influenced by dark ambient acts like Raison D’être, Lustmord, or Robert Rich, but also post-rock acts such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Low and Mogwai. Sad and bleak soundscapes for a depraved religious institute, pretending to give comfort and light. This release comes in a limited digifile (500 copies), presenting landscapes illustrated by choirs, echoing and heavy menacing atmospheres.

All Foundation Hope Titles

JOHN WIESE - 'Magical Crystal Blah Volume 3’ MCD (Helicopter / Kitty Play Records) - £9 / £10 / £11
Volume three of a recycling music project. All tracks produced by John Wiese (Bastard Noise / LHD) using Crystal Blah Vol 2 as source material. Vol 3 takes a more physical approach than its predecessor, which seemed to have been constructed with an almost meticulous hand. This music is more brutal, and relies more on sheer density of sound and dynamics. The only thing the listener can know for sure is that the music won't be in one place for long. 17 minutes of music dissected over 37 tracks.

All John Wiese Titles

KOTODAMA - 'Captured Voices’ CD (Vital) - £12 / £13 / £14
The rising star of Japanese avant-garde electronic music Manabu Hiramoto (Shinkiro) has entered the darkest places of his unique nightmarish imagination to record and capture the voices that has been haunting his creative mind. Now Manabu brings you his new dark electronic music project KOTODAMA. In Japan the old ancient word Kotodama meaning "the spirit of words" says to have a mysterious supernatural and spiritual power and is a word to be used with great caution and respect. Comes in a deluxe 6-panel digipak with designs by S.ALT (Ant-Zen).

LNGTCHÉ - 'Music For An Untitled Film By T. Zärkkof’ CD (Etude Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
The debut album from this project is an obscure piece for the widely unknown Russian auteur T. Zärkkof. A 44:22 minute long soundtrack of dark isolation, drones and exploration of ambient music, blending electronic soundscapes with the sound of raw guitar. A beautiful, haunting and darkly complex work packaged in an exclusive triptych panel with brilliant artwork by SELDON HUNT (also known for his artwork for Sunn O))), Earth, Troum, Neurosis, Z'EV etc).

LOTUS CIRCLE - 'Bottomless Vales And Boundless Floods ’ CD (Nykta) - £12 / £13 / £14
A true underground apocalypse! This Greek disc "gives you the strange feeling of going on a bad trip. A dark vision of forgotten swamps and demon caves, a void, a storm of sounds! Lotus Circles' sound is close to early Earth and Sunn O))) but in different way. Lotus Circle are the Black Metal side of drone / doom. Feedback noises mixed up with inhuman vocals..." Ltd x 500 copies.

OBJEKT 4 - 'Mindscars’ 2 x CD (Regimental Records / Ravenheart / Sabbathid Records)
- £15 / £16 / £17

All Objekt 4 Titles

OTHILA - 'Continents’ CD (Divine Comedy) - £12 / £13 / £14
Second full length opus by this French act. Othila celebrate Mother Earth from continent to continent. Sharing, opening, discovering, and respecting are the words to describe this new album. The music, after the much more martial "Yula" 10" is darker and lurking. Eight long pieces for five continents and Atlantis. Comparisons have been made to Hybryds, with some incursions in the more modern and still filmographic darkness of Godspeed You Black Emperor! or Biosphere. This gem is packed in a triple fold out digifile and is limited to 500 copies.

RAPOON - 'Church Road’ CD (Tantric Harmonies) - £12 / £13 / £14
The trademark dark and ethno-ambient of Rapoon mixed up with surreal electronic textures for an unforgettable experience. "Church Road" was recorded during a private show Robin Storey (ex-Zoviet France) performed in 2005 for friends and contains previously unreleased material plus a bonus track. Jewelcase edition, limited to 500 copies. Russian import.

All Rapoon Titles

ROME - 'Berlin’ MCD (Cold Meat Industry) - £8 / £9 / £10

This star of the Apocalyptic Folk scene sprouts from the Punk singer-songwriter genre - but ROME is about emotive songs that are both catchy and disturbing. The songs awaken memories of love and death, with the reoccurring themes of despair and loss, guilt and grief, might and war. With the cynical opening line “Once we learned to speak we learned to fail”, the band sets a grand colour to this exquisite candy piece of 6 exclusive songs. Limited to 1000 copies in a digipak.

All Rome Titles

ROME - 'Confessions: d'Un Voleur d'Ames’ CD (Cold Meat Industry) - £12 / £13 / £14

"Confessions..." is a call from a world where love and despair are locked in an embrace. A black craving in the fangs of war, the joys of stealth in a riot of blossoms. This second album is much calmer and rather more personal than "Nera". These confessions are often dark and poetic, sometimes brutal, but most of all intimate. Again you will find traces of all kinds of genres of obscure music; Ambient, Neoclassical, Dark Wave, Apocalyptic Folk, Military Pop and Martial Industrial. The tone is less militant, the main themes being treachery and sacrifice, temperance and composure. First 3000 copies in a digipak with silver print.

All Rome Titles

SIGMA OCTANTIS - 'Invocations’ CD (Divine Comedy) - £12 / £13 / £14
Both ethnic and ambient, sometimes low and harsh or even psychedelic, Sigma Octantis's music is always melancholic and quite strange. As musical influence, Sigma Octantis will quote Spindrift of Morthond. Amongst other things Sigma Octantis takes ideas from: Surrealism, dark and melancholic writers such as Bataille, Artaud, Shakespeare, Proust, Bernhard; dark humour ala Ambrose Bierce. Musicaly speaking... amongst others Blue Oyster Cult, MB, Militia, Mandible Chatter, Thiefaine, Haus Arafna, Paul Roland, Megaptera or Brighter Death Now. Ltd x 500 copies in a digifile.

TOROIDH - 'Segervittring’ CD (Neuropa) - £13 / £14 / £15

Toroidh legionaries, prepare for battle! June 2007 celebrates the return of one of the protagonists of martial industrial. After a few years hiatus, Toroidh returns to the battlefield and is ready to invade your stereo. Toroidh flexes it´s muscles and unleashes an album filled with the trademark military tunes in the finest tradition of the genre. 'Segervittring' stands for the smell of victory and that's exactly what you're getting. Herr Nordvargr knows no mercy and leaves his enemies scattered behind in the midst of scorched earth. 'Segervittring' comes elegantly packaged in a six-panel A5 digipack bearing the artwork of Norwegian artists Trine & Kim (Ulver, Mayhem, Darkthrone etc). Highly recommended!

A great compilation of dark and neoclassical music, dedicated to Père-Lachaise cemetery, which is one of the most romantic and mysterious places in this holy world. It's also an unmissable reference in gloomy and cinematic "tragical" culture. This musical journey is depicted by four acts (2 tracks each) from the new emerging Dark-Ambiant and Neo-Symphonic scene: Horologium, Project Winter, Artefactum and Foundation Hope. The mood is dark, menacing and epic at times with Horologium being the most martial act. The CD is packed in a beautiful 7" booklet with images by Fabrice Billard. Art and history beyond the grave.
