CHALLENGE OF HONOUR - 'Monuments’ CD
(Vrihaspati)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Re-issue of the 2004 LP, completely remastered with
all new artwork. This edition includes songs from
the limited 150 bonus 7" and 3 unreleased songs.
Brilliant “Martial Pop” songs followed
by strong and heroic Neoclassical tracks. Sometimes
very folky, sometimes dark hypnotic and ritual. Many
tracks are presented here for the first time with
vocals and also included is one lovely Folk Ballad
and a dark, rural storm-song featuring Sturmpercht.
A great mixture of the best ACOH styles, fresh and
intense and a real milestone in Martial-Neoclassic-Folk!

RESTOCK! This outstanding collection of newer musical
works of the Austrian artist Allerseelen is a co-production
of Ahnstern and Allerseelen's own label Aorta. Contains
a selection of the best Allerseelen songs, many of
them for the first time on CD and some unreleased
Industrial-Folk hymns. Allerseelen were supported
on this release by members of O

- 'Hallstatt’ CD (Ahnstern

- £12 / £13 / £14 |

13 new apocalyptic and passionate songs about love
and death. This release - musically situated somewhere
in a terra incognita between folklore, krautrock,
metal and industrial music - is inspired by the beautiful
Upper Austrian village of Hallstatt, which belongs
to the world cultural heritage due to its amazing
tomb findings of the Hallstatt culture and the unique
ossuary with the painted skulls. The songs have lyrics
and vocals by Gerhard Petak and R. N. Taylor from
Changes.
Apocalyptic industrial folklore songs dedicated to
those who decided to disappear forever in the mountains.

RESTOCK! 'Barco do Vinho' were the boats that in the
past that brought the barrels of wine from the vineyards
in Callaecia (Northern Portugal) on the river Douro
to the town of Porto. This CD features four exclusive
songs by the Northern-Portuguese group Sangre Cavallum
and four exclusive songs by the Austrian group Allerseelen.
Ancient and traditional but at the same time brand
new avant-garde music, somewhere between apocalyptic
folklore and psychedelic rock. Poetical songs about
the journey of the wine, from the vineyard to the
river. Then a silent darkness, a timeless life inside
oak barrels, turning the wine into flavoured blood
for a toast between men and nature. Presented in a
beautiful 6-panel digipak.

& TOROIDH
- 'United In Blood’ CD (Neuropa)
- £13 / £14 / £15 |

Nordvargr's ominous project Toroidh joins forces with
Arditi, the bastard child of Puissance. Together,
these Swedish powerhouses bring us a masterpiece of
bombastic martial industrial mayhem, with dark and
oppressive atmospheres, crushing orchestral strings
and speeches. The grand finale is an orchestral rendition
of Toroidh's song 'Wermland'. Sheer beauty and brutality!
A must-have item for fans of Sophia or early Der Blutharsch.

- 'Kremasta Nera’ CD (Ark
Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |

This album is inspired by the lights and shadows of
an extinguished civilization, a lost world which eclipsed
with its secrets. The music draws archaic mantras,
ritual movements and lunar elegies, whispers magic
spells and eastern litanies, forge tribal rhythms
and dark ceremonies. A mix of acoustic sounds, medieval
strings, electronic and eastern percussions and deep
evocative singing become the door to enter the purple
reign of the Goddess. "A felt following of Lost
Atlantis. The natural accomplishment of the voyage".
First 2000 copies come in a digipak with a 16-page
booklet.

release is based on recordings of traditional Perchtenläufe
and nature. Different than most other music from Belborn
this release (as one would expect being on Steinklang’s
‘Bavarian’ side-label), is more in the
way of traditional German folk music. Belborn lead
us on an acoustic journey through strange rites and
ancient folkish rituals in the mysterious Rauhnacht.

| CADAVEROUS
CONDITION - 'Songs For The Crooked Path’
CD (Fuck
Off & Di) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
A new release on the mysterious label of English eccentric,
musician, writer and underground hero Julian Cope.
This album compiles more or less all Death Folk songs
from the strange Austrian band Cadaverous Condition.
Usually a Death Metal outfit, CC always explored different
and lesser known territories. "Songs For The
Crooked Path" combines all those folky acoustic
songs, poetic lyrics and bizarre ideas with harsh,
yet haunting vocals that made CC interesting to a
clientele far away from normal Metal standards. All
this weird material has now been culled together -
dark / Neofolk, pure passion - only sometimes diving
into Metal or psychedelic depths. Guest appearances
from RN Taylor (Changes),
Matt Howden (Sieben),
Richard Leviathan (Ostara)
and Johann E (Reptilicus).

| CONCRESCENCE
- 'Obscured By The Dark Years’ CD (Ahnstern)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Concrescence includes all today’s most
wanted music styles: beautiful Folk-ballads, sometimes
with a strong medieval touch, Martial drums and trumpets,
Neoclassical hymns and heartbreaking pagan lyrics,
sung by perfect female and male voices. Concrescence
is a collection of early, unreleased and lost songs
from the archive of ‘The Thieves Of Impressions’.
Maybe only the elders amongst you will remember this
most beautiful Dark-Folk band from the early 90’s,
lead by Ales Pickar, who was one of the 2 founders
of the cult-label Ant-Zen. All recordings on Concrescence
were made in 1994/95.

| DISSECTING
TABLE - 'Ultra Materials 1986 - 1991’
2 x CD (Steinklang)
- £15 / £16 / £17 |
 |
Dissecting Table is one of the most influential Noise
artists from the early Japanese Industrial years.
The first Dissecting Table recordings were quite unique
in the scene, as the band was working with very concrete
rhythms and screaming voices and they even had dark
and slow songs, which was completely untypical for
this time and region. The only comparisons to early
DT recordings might be the legendary albums of Grim
or White Hospital. This set includes the A-side of
the first 7" (Ultimate Psychological Description
- 1986), the first LP (Ultra Point Of Intersection
Exist - 1987), the first CD (Between Life And Death
- 1990), all compilation tracks up to 1991 and even
an unreleased track from 1986! A milestone for Noise
addicts and one of the most essential works in Noise
music in general!

- 'A Lonely Place’ CD (Steinklang)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Hypnotic Dark Ambient from this UK artist and long-time
comrade of Cold Spring, with haunting tribal rhythms
and ritual soundscapes. The music sometimes reminds
of the classics like Lustmord (c. Monstrous soul),
SPK (c. Zamia Lehmanni) and early Raison d'Etre. This
album is a captivating soundtrack for rituals - whether
you are painting, meditating, walking through the
highlands, having sex, or whatever. Includes a collaboration

 |
Gracefully immersing 60's/70's UK acid balladry with
Middle eastern traditional music and communal jams,
Castro succeeds in reaching otherworldly vistas and
ocean-spanning folk transcendence. The Young Elders
is a truly stellar cast of musicians who played in
folk and avantrock ensembles like Current 93 (Joolie
Woods), In
Gowan Ring (B'Eirth), Cul De Sac and Damo Suzuki's
Network. A mixture of folk ballads, psychedelic folk
rock, Middle eastern traditional music and Neofolk.
The result being astonishing, challenging and utterly
psychedelic. A modern Acid Folk masterpiece! This
deluxe vinyl issue includes 2 x 180g vinyl plus a
bonus 7" of exclusive tracks. Presented in a
luxurious gatefold sleeve with inner sleeves and with
all lyrics.

Their medieval folk will certainly appeal to fans

The heavenly vocals female singers Anna and Katarina
combined with selected male chants in Latin are very
moving. The music offers a wide range of variations,
from purest folk to sometimes more electronic interferences,
tribal drums, bagpipes, flutes, dulcimer and various
other natural instruments. One of our most popular

RELICTA - 'The Crown & The Plough’
CD (Neuropa)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Oda Relicta is the product of one Oleg Kolyada (First
Human Ferro / In
Meditarium) who recorded 'The Crown & The
Plough' with the aid of the Zhytomyr Military Orchestra.
'The Crown & The Plough' is a thoughtful album,
overviewing the history of Oleg's motherland, the
Ukraine. The album scores the clash between workmen
and nobles; where the crown meets the plough! Grandiose
Slavonic faithful hymns, orchestral sacred marches
and utopian Neofolk nicely meld into a mysterious
and refined album - in parts almost medieval / baroque.
Highly recommended! Mastered by Henrik
Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Toroidh, Folkstorm).

"Classic ultra-fucked electrified noise barrage
that seems to reflect more on the early-90s pornographic
Merzbow sound et al than anything currently beating
its head against a rock. Just chaos blurts of white
noise catharsis cut up with quizzical gloops down
the plughole where you feel like a cartoon roadrunner,
still peddling in mid-air while rainbows explode into
shards of glass and crystal. A fantastic blast of
old school noise from these old school boize: John
Wiese (Bastard Noise) and Kohei Gomi aka Pain Jerk.

| STAHLWERK
9 - 'Revolution Of The Antichrist’
CD (Steinklang)
- £14 / £15 / £16 |
 |
Stahlwerk 9's new Dark / Death Ambient album R.O.T.A.
is again more quiet and ritual than his recent works.
It could be compared to his earlier albums "Oradour"
and "1905", but a lot more sacral. Deep,
subliminal drumming, heavy organs and bells and ominously
droning soundscapes guide you to your private Armageddon.
A blackest soundtrack for the end of the world. The
artwork consists of a 7" gatefold sleeve, holding
10 large inlays on heavy cardboard. All paintings
on and inside the folder were drawn by the Russian
painter Alexander Nemkovsky. A beautifully sinister
work limited to 666 copies.

SUMA give you lots of classic heavy doom-groove and
EYE HATE GOD-style crust-feeling; in the calmer parts
even EARTH-like clarity can be found... So clothe
yourself in rags, go on a pilgrimage into the desert
and form sects to pay homage to the interstellar manta.

With their 4th album, the Bulgarian Black Folklore

synths. This is a musical look through a grey window

century and its Renaissance, after years of osman
oppression. On "Balkan Renaissance" you
can listen to original passages of famous Bulgarian
poets and artists, as well a tribute to Allerseelen
with the song "Kamerad". This album is full
of traditional-, pagan and ritual Folk music, Neoclassical
songs, Martial drumming and it has even some Industrial
moments. Ltd x 500 with special 'Martenitsi' insert.

| THE
FIELDS OF HAY - 'Songs For Nine Ladies’
CD (Fourth
Dimension) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The Fields of Hay The is a solo enterprise of Stuart
Carter (Splintered, Theme).
This debut release comprises five loosely cohesive
pieces, created with simple patterns, organic samples,
electronic sound effects, field recordings, voices
and digital manipulation as an exercise in nature
versus technology. The moods it nudges into view is,
in equal measures, calm and intense, melodic and improvised,
warm and inviting; and listeners should be able to
almost feel the sun on their face during the opening
piece. Carter is joined by Sonic Boom (EAR
/ Spectrum / Spacemen3) on 2 tracks.
