ABNOCTO - 'Simon Magus’ CD (Waerloga) - £12 / £13 / £14
This is mainly occult-inspired instrumental music - sacral with hints of great dark temple halls, demons, mystical rites and churches. Instruments like piano, farfisa organ, dark ritualistic drums, harps and various string instruments were used and this sound will appeal to followers of Arcana and the medieval / neo-symphonic genres. Abnocto is Simon Kölle (Musterion, Za Frûmi) and Simon Heath (Atrium Carceri, Za Frûmi). Recorded 60 metres below the centre of Stockholm in a long forgotten chamber among the tunnels.

ANDREW LILES - 'Aural Anagram’ CD (Macrophonies) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! This recording is based on the erotic works, ideas and obsessions of the artist Hans Bellmer (1902-1975) and is centred around the theme of 'the body as an anagram'. The recording features the voices of 18 women, a number of whom supplied Japanese and Russian translations of some of the core text. Some songs have been constructed, developed and titled after specific Bellmer drawings. The main premise of the recording is to create a restrained yet noticeably unnerving experience through which to view Bellmer's work. To carry the listener to a realm of surrealist eroticism, using bizarre verbal and musical anagrams and arrangements. Razor sharp editing, subtle clicks and snaps, strange resonances, fragile peculiar melodies, hesitant and sometimes eloquent voices give this CD a unique quality.

All Andrew Liles Titles


ANDREW LILES - 'Mother Goose's Melody, Or Sonnets For The Cradle’ CD (ICR / Klanggalerie)
- £12 / £13 / £14
Almost a "concept album" by UK composer Andrew Liles, featuring the voice of Lord Bath and the musical talent of Sion Orgon of ThighPaulSandra's band. If you want to compare Liles’ music, think of Colin Potter, Steve Stapleton or Jonathan Coleclough. From beginning to end the aural journey takes the form of a ghost train ride of epic proportions encompassing all the dark places a child’s mind tends to inhabit. Liles manages to provoke an eerie atmosphere alongside a lot of dark humour. Ltd x 500 copies.

All Andrew Liles Titles


ANDREW LILES - 'New York Doll’ 2 x CD (Infraction) - £15 / £16 / £17
New York Doll is (in part) constructed from field recordings made in Sweden, the Czech Republic, France, USA and the UK. it is a transatlantic recording of parallel universes. The sounds have been cross-fertilized, genetically modified and decay between locations and events. Over 98 minutes spanning 2 CDs of strange and subtle ambience, calming yet uneasy arias interspersed with unexpected clicks and hollow thuds. Pretty golden loops cascade into a jumble of drones and geometric acoustic patterns of unfathomable glory that creek, bend, then shatter like falling crystal chandeliers. The fragments scatter and disappear into oblivion. Ltd x 550 copies.

All Andrew Liles Titles


ANIMA MUNDI - 'Somnium’ CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14
Originally released as a tape in 1997, 'Somnium' shines with all its power of ritual expression thanks to a great work of digital remastering. Ritual percussion, voices pervaded with unconfessable tragedies and gloomy solemn symphonies will give life and feed your nightmares, wrapped in great dark ambient atmospheres with a touch of throbbing industrial. Ltd x 535 numbered copies in an outsized textured sleeve with artcard.

All Anima Mundi Titles


AS ALL DIE - 'Failure Of Human Spirit’ CD (Dying Empylver Productions) - £12 / £13 / £14
An album full of very dark and ghostly atmospheres. As All Die creates a great work of apocalyptic ballads, Black Industrial, and Dark Ambient, but with more musical elements than usual. Sombre vocals, choir samples, keyboard, organ and other instruments create an atmosphere of blackest dreams from which you may never awake. Ltd x 1000 copies in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with 8-page booklet. Chinese import. Exclusively distributed throughout Europe by Cold Spring.

All As All Die Titles


ATRAX MORGUE - 'No More’ CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! “Atrax Morgue seems to have reached the terminal stage, after more than 10 years of aberrant activity in music de-composing and sound's murder. "No More" is a non-compromise work, a reflection of a man that is watching his end, the cold analysis of the inutility of any action. Obsessive, schizophrenic, violent minimal electronic sounds are a soundtrack of a cold hell of nothingness and purity. But the only words that can explain this work are two and simple: NO MORE!!!” Ltd x 505 copies only. Marco Corbelli RIP May 2007.

All Atrax Morgue Titles


DESTRUCTO SWARMBOTS - 'Clear Light’ CD (Public Guilt Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
Destructo Swarmbots has carved a unique niche for themselves over the past 4 years. Their live shows consist of chaotic walls of white noise, improvised textures and battered instruments. Their recordings are delicate, at times meditative, washes of ambience constructed from countless piles of tortured sounds. Influenced heavily by 200+ needle-dropped, out of print psyche records, "Clear Light" is their strongest effort yet and the next step on their journey to artistic isolation.

All Destructo SwarmbotsTitles


HILTER - 'Sex Films’ CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! In this release the use of electronics is especially wholesome and not used as a mere backdrop. This album has moments of sheer splendour and is more than just an enjoyable excursion of hard electronics. An endless stream of resonanting frequences, swinging from higher harmonics to lower pitches, reflective but totally alien music. A cohesive and enjoyable collection of explicit sadist episodes expressing Industrial talent with lasting potential. A great album in all, with a variety of sounds. Ltd x 500 copies in an outsized textured sleeve with artcard.

***This release contains artwork of an explicit sexual nature. Please include a statement that you are 18+ when ordering this release.***


IGOR KRUTOGOLOV - 'White’ CD (Topheth Prophet / Auris Media) - £12 / £13 / £14
Igor Krutogolov is mostly known for his projects 'Kruzenshtern & Parohod' and toy 'Igor Krutogolov's Karate Band' but is also known for his collaborations with Chaos As Shelter, Agnivolok, Bastard Noise, Tidal, Darkwood and others. 'White' is a seven piece composition that can be compared to the works of such as Andrew Liles or Colin Potter. Among the instruments used for this album are bass with bow, strings, objects, flute, keyboards, birds and human voices. The result is a rich, fascinating and ambiguous soundscape as expected from this unique artist. Ltd x 1000 copies in a beautiful digifile. Israeli import.

All Igor Krutogolov Titles


JESUS OF NAZARETH - 'The Shame Of Being A Child’ CD (Dotsmark) - £12 / £13 / £14
Second release from this US (mostly) extreme Noise / Gabber unit. Beginning with punishing drill n' bass breaks and blastbeats with monstrous psychotic vocals and HARSH noise, "The Shame Of Being A Child" progresses into ghostly drones and white noise. Add in some Merzbow-meets-Boredoms insanity, mashed up grindcore debris, heavy machine beat action underneath swirling drones like ala Troum or Final. Overall, this album falls somewhere around the intersection of Discordance Axis, Muslimgauze, Japanese Noise, Nasenbluten and Winterkälte (!). Highly recommended to avant-grind and heavy noise fans. Also features a stunning, very creepy cover of "Willow's Song" from The Wicker Man! 20 untitled tracks with bonus live action (Washington DC, 2004). Japanese import.

JOB KARMA - 'Tschernobyl’ CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14
The industrial sonorities of Job karma are the fruit of a new age of iron and desolation, the dramatic declaration of men's destructive power. Conceived after a visit to the ghost town of Chernobyl, this work consisting of 8 tracks of bitter post industrial sounds, is the soundtrack of an unprecedented nuclear calamity. Dark Ambient with rhythmic elements. Ltd x 1000 copies in a beautiful 6-panel digipak.

All Job Karma Titles


JULIA KENT - 'Delay’ CD (Shayo) - £12 / £13 / £14
Canadian-born artist Julia Kent has performed and/or recorded with many artists and ensembles, including Antony and the Johnsons, the Angels of Light, Larsen, Backworld, Jarboe, Devendra Banhart etc. "Delay" is a CD of multi-tracked cello and found sounds inspired by airports transitoriness and by the private emotional worlds that we create amid the disorientations and disjunctions of travel. This is a must have for any fans of Johann Johannsson, Max Richter, Brian Eno's "Music For Airports" and Antony & The Johnsons. Swiss import in 6-panel digipak.

LADY MORPHIA - 'Essence And Infinity’ CD (Surgery) - £12 / £13 / £14
English Neofolk act Lady Morphia are back with their second full-length album, featuring 10 songs. The range of styles contained on "Essence And Infinity" is immensely diverse, stretching from tenebrous experimental ambience to beautiful acoustic ballads, via lush classical orchestrations, darkly energetic post-rock and more. Despite the genre-spanning nature of the various compositions, the entire recording is underpinned by a conceptual and atmospheric unity. Comes with a lavish sixteen-page booklet, which includes lyrics stunning artwork.

All Lady Morphia Titles


LAGOWSKI - 'Temporary Distractions’ CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14
Andrew Lagowski (S.E.T.I., Legion) stands as one of the most highly-regarded experimental and cultured artists working in Industrial Music today. With 'Temporary Distractions', he takes his long expierience in the world of electronic music and filters them through brilliant, harmonious and deeply involving Electro pathways with sound structures continuously fluttering inside electric spirals of minimal atmospheres, futuristic beats and avantgarde solutions. Ltd x 1035 copies in an outsized textured sleeve with artcard.

All Lagowski Titles


LIETTERSCHPICH - 'I Cum Blood In The Think Tank’ CD (Topheth Prophet / HCB Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
The debut album of this Israeli noise ensemble. The eight-piece group of Lietterschpich (Hebrew for litre of cum) has been boiling down foul language, obscene noise, primitive rituals and perplexing visual propaganda since 2004. Comprised of local veterans of the Israeli post-punk, industrial and electronica scenes, they quickly gained cult status in the Israeli underground. "This bleak digital-doom-dub shriek is bound to slap the hard-core fans of innovative harsh music. It doesn't get more extreme than this!" Roughly an hour of Doom Noise terror. Ltd x 1000 copies. Israeli import.

LIHOLESIE - 'Videniya’ CD (Stygian Crypt Productions) - £12 / £13 / £14
Third full length album of one-man project Liholesie under the name of "Videniya" ("The Visions"). Almost 2 years after the last Liholesie release, these 11 tracks are like a wind to another world… like a splinter of forgotten dreams, like echoes from the very heart of the forest, gloomy visions in the witch circle. Musically speaking, this album is Neofolk-ritual-ambient with a slight ‘electronic’ touch. The melodies, instruments and sounds are a manifestation of Nature, Heritage and Pursuit. Includes a cover version of "When The Sky Is Dark Yet" by Thy Repentance. Presented in a beautiful 8-panel digipak in a limited edition of 1000 copies.

MATT HOWDEN - 'Voyager’ CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! Twenty-one Neoclassical tracks that follow the progress of the Voyager space probe from Jupiter, past Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and out to The Heliopause, the outermost reaches of the Sun’s rays. As the album progresses out through the Solar System, the time signatures, keys, and conventional sounds and phrases mutate - the music becomes wilder and manipulations of conventional sounds, and time elements become more pronounced. The last track, The Heliopause, brings together all the elements of the album in a seventeen minute finale, capturing the relentless journey of Voyager heading out of our Solar System. Presented in beautiful digipak. Ltd x 1077 handnumbered copies.

All Matt Howden Titles


NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'The Arrow And The Wound’ CD (Eibon Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! Once again entering the deranged mindset of the jilted lover-turned-sexual predator, NTT is back with "The Arrow And The Wound", delivering the most absolutely brutish levels of misogyny yet and creating an atmosphere of emotional depravity where lust is confused with longing and love is intermingled with delirium. Power noise at its highest and most uncomfortable levels. Collecting material from various extremely limited CDR releases, including a fantastic remix by SKM-ETR and collaborative input by Sickness, Fragment King, M Slagle, Unter Null, Maliks and Tim Spann of Abfall. Beautiful digifile with striking artwork.

All Navicon Torture Technologies Titles


NEBRIS - 'Bleak Angels’ CD (Dystonia EK) - £12 / £13 / £14
'Bleak Angels' is the second release for Nebris (ex-Column). Amplified organic materials (bones, gut strings) and minerals (fossils, meteorite fragments, stones) were used to produce three lengthy tracks. Each piece has an expansive backdrop of rotating sounds, crackles, highly processed and multi-layered voices. There is a great sense of desolation around this music; of ambient industrial post nuclear emptiness. Bleak indeed. Executed with great care and skill, with a keen eye for details and variation, this is an excellent work in the genre. File next to Inade, Zoät Aon etc. 6-panel digipak. Ltd x 423. Canadian import.

NECROMONDO - 'Necromondo’ CD (Mechanoise Labs) - £12 / £13 / £14
First full-length CD from Necromondo, inspired by cult Italian horror / splatter / zombie movies of the 70's / 80's (City of the Living Dead, Burial Ground, Cannibal Holocaust, Inferno Dei Morti-viventi etc). A scenery of hostile tropical islands, decimated city blocks, muddy leech ponds and underground medical facilities, all populated by the growing masses of the undead. 11 tracks of synth oscillator abuse, putrid low-end pulses, field recordings from contaminated areas and blood-soaked death rattles. The epidemic is spreading. Ltd x 525 copies only.

NECROPHORUS - 'Imprints’ CD (Wrotycz) - £12 / £13 / £14
Beautiful, sensitive and electrified, "Imprints" is the 5th album from Necrophorus (Peter Andersson / Raison D’Etre) and goes beyond the previous album "Elinros" (2005) by further investigating the aural landscape of imagination and mysticism. "Imprints" vibrates with a fresh air mix of three-dimensional electrified organic field recordings and minimal immersive sequenced organ sounds. With psychedelic atmospheres and aural landscpes Inspired by impressions of Iceland, Peter Andersson has created a new astonishing aural output. Beautiful gatefold textured cover. Polish import.

All Peter Andersson Titles


OLHON - 'Sinkhole’ CD (Eibon Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! Olhon was born as a cooperative effort of Massimo Magrini (mastermind of Bad Sector) and Zairo (of the ultra-obscure dark ambient travellers Where). "Sinkhole" was composed using original field recordings taken (mainly underwater) in the "Pozzo del Merro", the world's deepest sinkhole. The result is an extremely organic, almost 'breathing' dark ambient journey - a challenging descent into the abyss spread across 10 eerie and deep, dark ambient tracks. Presented in a nice full colour digisleeve.

All Olhon Titles


PSYCHIC TV - 'Time's Up Live’ DVD (Studio Philo / MVD) - £16 / £18 / £20

PUISSANCE - 'State Collapse’ CD (Regain Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! 2004 album by the masters of martial Neo-Classical Industrial! Sumptuous and majestic as ever and exploring their melodic side even further. Bombastic orchestral sounds, atmospheric neo-classical synth music, some militant drumming and dark spoken words. The Puissance mark of quality is instantly familiar from the opening track 'Trace Elements', with its overwhelming choirs. A solid Puissance album with some nice cinematic hymns making it one of their best works. Highly recommended, as with all Puissance releases!

All Puissance Titles


RADIO KUOLEMA - 'Symphony No. 2 Op. 29 For Cembalo And Dying Children' CD
(Ars Benevola Mater)
- £12 / £13 / £14

Radio Kuolema's 2007 album is a journey in seven stages carved in dark ambient landscapes which taste of infinity. Atmospheres suspended in time, true industrial symphonies melting in the sideral space. Hearts of rust facing the stars. Without possibility of redemption. Ltd x 535 copies in an outsized textured sleeve with artcard.

All Radio Kuolema Titles

SKM-ETR - 'The Rugged Meat Cleaver’ CD (Eibon Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! The long-awaited full-length album from Canada’s premier Power Electronics outfit. Just under an hour of ruthless death industrial/power electronics complete with all the staples of the genre: thick layers of nasty distortion, crushing walls of white noise, atmospheric ambient rumblings, loose structures and rhythms, layers of pointed samples, and hyper distorted, thuggish vocals… of course. Featuring contributions by Brethren, Slogun and Murderous Vision. Ltd x 750 in nice digifile.

All SKM-ETR Titles


SONNE HAGAL - 'Nidar’ 10" (Trumpets of Doom) - £12 / £14 / £16
The vinyl edition of this outstanding release, containing tracks culled from the "Nidar" MCD plus one previously unreleased and untitled bonus track. Sonne Hagal set music to the poems of William Blake. A mixture of fragile, melodic and atmospheric ballads and their well-known apocalyptic folk style. Supported by Andreas Ritter (Forseti), Kim Larsen (Of The Wand And The Moon) and Matt Howden (Sieben). Limited to 500 copies, this collectable piece comes in a superb black and red marbled vinyl, with insert plus a deluxe embossed and foil-blocked cover.

All Sonne Hagal Titles


STARUHA MHA - 'Fires’ CD (Agnisvet) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! This mysterious Russian project has always been a kind of unique folklore/musical mythology projection. Its conception seems to be far from modern world in terms of both aesthetics and social issues, taking us back to the roots, where the forest is like a fairyland, embodying the dream of every hermit creature. All compositions are undoubtedly anxious and uneasy by the nature; great ritual ambient. Comes in heavy A5 cardboard cover in PVC sleeve. Limited to 277 numbered copies. ACT FAST!

SUTCLIFFE JÜGEND - 'This Is The Truth’ CD (Ground Fault Recordings / Hospital Productions)
- £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! "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. ACT FAST!

All Sutcliffe Jügend Titles


SYNTA[XE]RROR - 'Final’ CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14
A dusty old computer which spits out elaborate electronic solutions through a trembling screen which will show a city in black and white. An entity full of chrome metal covered with a futuristic loneliness, crossed piercing gloomy ambient passages distorted by a turmoil of electro rhythms. A work for the most delicate and passionate palates and for those who are looking for an avant-garde sound. From Poland a duet who offers a complex but interesting electronic carpet with a thrilling remix featuring their more famous mates CH District. Ltd x 535 numbered copies in an outsized textured sleeve with artcard.

UDUMBAL - 'Ahi Budhnya’ CD (Unisound Records / Possession Productions) - £12 / £13 / £14
The second album by this Black Ambient / Black Metal / Orchestral entity from Belarus, offering mysterious ambiance of Slavonic / Nature-oriented inspiration. For dark souls into black ritual art. Originally released on cassette by Possession Productions, this is the Greek-licensed CD version in jewelcase. Ltd x 1000 copies.

All Black Metal Titles


VARIATIONS OF SEX - 'My Cock Is Beyond Good And Evil’ CD (Dotsmark) - £12 / £13 / £14
Reissue of this Tokyo Harsh-Collage-Noise Unit's third CDR. "Harsh metal junk abuse with extensive distortion, just waiting to get heavy and crunchy... and then there comes strange electro-acoustic noises. But it doesn't take long to get back in business... plenty of high pitched synth noise and jumpy harsh noise. If this really is his early recordings, I must say a very promising release! More sex-noise from Japan can't be bad!" [Degenerate]. Presented in jewelcase with new artwork.

***This release contains artwork of an explicit sexual nature. Please include a statement that you are 18+ when ordering this release.****


VINTERRIKET - ' Lichtschleier’ Enhanced CD (Displeased Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
Re-issue of this 2006 work. Possibly the most sophisticated Vinterriket work to date, this album (their 5th full-length) completely bases its atmospheres in dark ambient, keyboard-driven melodies, full of darkness, emptiness, desolation, coldness and melancholy. Vinterriket leaves behind the strong percussion, blurry guitars and drowned shrieks of previous works. Comes with thick booklet of visually stunning Nordic landscapes and grim art! Remastered with 2 bonus tracks and videoclip.

All Vinterriet Titles


VINTERRIKET - ' Lichtschleier’ T-Shirt (Displeased Records) - £15 / £16 / £17

VINTERRIKET - '...Und Die Nacht Kam Schweren Schrittes’ CD (Displeased Records)
- £12 / £13 / £14
Vinterriket's debut album of beautiful melancholic and instrumental darkness - remastered and reissued with a bonus track and new artwork. Vinterriket uses an array of ethereal soundscapes and twinkling keyboards in order to create a distinctively morose atmosphere (comparable to early Mortiis or Burzum) where the sounds of winter, forests, desolation and ancient spirits are cocooned within swathes of majestic keyboard and slow lugubrious throbbing soundscapes. A mandatory Black-Ambient tour de-force.

VLADIMIR HIRSCH - 'Concert Industriel Pour Orgue’ CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14
"Concert Industriel Pour Orgue" is an extensive composition in quasi-oratorial form, in final version abbreviated and restructuralised. Classical form is here only in contours. The opus is characterised by thematic spurts, erupting in desultory pulses and, exhausted, dying away in a mass of industrial sounds, without consequent ending of idea. The industrial matrix is also a space and energy source for volcanic activity. The solo role of the organ is surprisingly not dominant and its parts are often taken over by other instruments, giving the highlighted church atmosphere of the composition. Ltd x 435 copies in an outsized textured sleeve with artcard.

All Vladimir Hirsch Titles


VLADIMIR HIRSCH - 'Sense Geometry’ CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £12 / £13 / £14
Disturbing and dim ambient soundscapes mixed with a gloomy, throbbing and dramatic industrial sound and with an imperceptible but relevant touch of avant-garde solutions. The outlines drawn by Vladimir Hirsch are not created casually. Every single element is carefully drawn up and the result is amazing in its will to astonish through the whirling soundscapes of a charming fascination for the cinema in powdery rusty colours. Czech composer Vladimír Hirsch is founder and leader of ensembles Skrol, Aghiatrias and Zygote. Ltd x 435 numbered copies in an outsized textured sleeve with artcard.
