ASMUS TIETCHENS / JON MUELLER - 'Acht Stücke' CD (Auf Abwegen) - £12 / £13 / £14

Second collaborative effort between German sound manipulation pioneer Asmus Tietchens and American improv-drummer Jon Mueller (also label boss of Crouton). The completeness that is "Acht Stücke" is of breathtaking beauty and simplicity and complexity at the same time. The album is definitely more homogenous and 'together' than the first meeting of the two musicians. It emanates a warm and deep sound evolving out of total soundless blankness as it seems. 8 tracks that run up to 53 minutes. Ltd x 500 copies in a shrinkwrapped card sleeve, designed by Tietchens.

All Asmus Tietchens TitlesAll Jon Mueller Titles

AUBE - 'Blau + Rot' 7" (Auf Abwegen) - £6 / £7 / £8

On "Blau + Rot", released for the first european tour by AUBE in eight years, Akifumi Nakajima worked with an old Roland SH-12 percussive synth. The result is two long tracks (each over 6 minutes) with a nice floating mood that sometimes changes into aggressiveness, without losing its warmth. A great little record by one of the most important experimental musicians from Japan. Clear vinyl. Regular edition of 400 copies.

All Aube TitlesAll 7" Vinyl

C.C.C.C. - 'Early Works' 4 x CD Boxset (No Fun Productions) - £30 / £32 / £34

Essential boxset from Japanese psychedelic noise legends C.C.C.C., collecting unreleased live material (including very early recordings from some of their first shows in 1990 and their 1992 US tour), along some long unavailable studio classics like the "Phantasmagoria" tape. The accompanying booklet contains extensive liner notes by original member Fumio Kosakai (Incapacitants, Hijokaidan) about the band's beginnings and his take on the C.C.C.C. vision. An essential document in the unique C.C.C.C. sound, which Kosakai describes best as "psychedelic, cosmic and erotic". Produced by C.C.C.C. founder Hiroshi Hasegawa (Astro, South Saturn Delta, Galax). Extensive audio restoration and mastering by James Plotkin (Khanate). Limited edition of 1000 copies. CDs housed in an 8-panl digipak with slip-case. Highly recommended!

CARTER TUTTI - 'Feral Vapours Of The Silver Ether' CD (Conspiracy International) - £12 / £13 / £14

Second album by Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti (Throbbing Gristle) as Carter Tutti. Almost three years in the making, the 11 tracks on "Feral Vapours" mark an exciting sonic development for the influential electronic duo, as always with a glance to the past and a hard stare to the future. With "Cabal" (2004), Carter and Tutti initiated their new phase with a gentler and strikingly emotional collection of songs, and on "Feral Vapours" this renewed vision takes centre stage: the album is awash with echoes of the sea, the moon, the open road, and flatlands. Nature oozes through the songs and the electronic and the acoustic are merged in a seamless, crafted, dense masterpiece that is sure to become an important milestone in their already vast, eclectic body of work. "Feral Vapours" stands as one of Carter Tutti's most important releases to date - a rich collection of electronic torch songs that will appeal to any fan of intelligent and innovative music.

COLUMN ONE - 'Feldaufnahmen I' CD (Auf Abwegen) - £12 / £13 / £14

First in the series "Les Bruits Du Monde: L'Allemagne" - a series of pure field recordings by German multi-disciplinary experimental group Column One. The 12 pieces on the disc radiate with beauty - they demonstrate the full spectrum of sounds that can be found in any relatively quiet natural resort (here, the mountain range of Elbsandsteingebirge): dogs barking, humming of insects, crackling of twigs, footsteps, wind and more. A new phase for Column One, who now enter the terrain of sound ecology with their own twist. Limited edition of 500 copies in a digipak with booklet.

All Column One Titles

DAHLIA'S TEAR - 'Under Seven Skies' CD (Thonar Records) - £12 / £13 / £14

The 3rd album from Dahlia's Tear clearly differs from preceding releases of ambient dark project with the extension of new sound elements layered by masterful narrative layout. With seven ethereal and dark tracks, Dahlia's Tear creates an enigmatic story. The renewed sound bears hypnotic touch of dreamy mood and specific abstract atmosphere. Anil ED uses distorted guitars, skillfully embedded lush skin of strings, gloomy slow frequencies and twisted layer of vocal layers to combine different moods to entire conception of tiresome longing and adding a huge depth to the sound. "Under Seven Skies" album is bringing an atmosphere between harsh and haunting feeling. Limited to 1000 copies in a digipak.

All Dahlia's Tear Titles

HALGADOM - 'Heimstatt' CD (Sonnenkreuz) - £12 / £13 / £14

"Heimstatt" ('homestead') is German act Halgadom's fifth album. Beautiful melodies carry the spirit of these nine Neofolk compositions into your consciousness. Listen quietly and dip into Halgadom's homeland, full of charm and their unique style. "Halgadom stands against any uprooting and mass-orientation of man. Against a world of faceless beings that have no past and so no future, too... Spurred by the recollection of our cultural roots, we’d like to show our ancestors and past lineage with Halgadom that the old belief isn’t dead". Digipak.

HYBRYDS - 'Tryptykh' CD (Tantric Harmonies) - £9 / £10 / £11

Subtitled "Live recorded fragments of frozen time", this collection of live recordings (Belgium 1991/1993 and Germany 1996) present the Belgian duo in the dark ritualistic mood. Very meditative and deep, but also rhythmic, exhausting and captivating! Regular edition of 888 copies, with the CD housed between 2 printed card covers. Russian import.

INVISIBLE FRONT - 'Interferences And Time' CD (Indie-Ziert) - £12 / £13 / £14

'Interferences And Time (Kampf Auf Alien Frequenzen)" is the debut album from this from this Berlin project, with a previous track on the VA - 'New World Order' compilation. An Industrial / Power Electronics / Martial / Dark Ambient album, based on the fascinating history of radio - its sounds, mysterious signals, covert 'number channels', and its use as a brainwashing / propaganda tool over the last century. Ltd x 477 hand-numbered copies in a slimline DVD case with postcard and sticker.

KK NULL - 'Discoteca Plasma' CD (Mindfield Records) - £10 / £11 / £12

Rare 2000 CD from this prolific Japanese genius. As the title suggests, Null's direction at that time was subversively connected to the rhythms and patterns of dance music, where the exploration and deconstruction of the beat is realised not with drum machines and computer software, but with Nullsonic! - his own custom built machines and trademark techniques. Null generates and molds his sounds into the caustic, hypnotic pulsations of "Discoteca Plasma", creating a unique racket that will not only speak to the proverbial avant-garde / experimental scene, but also tweak responses from fans of techno. VERY FEW COPIES IN STOCK - ACT FAST!

All KK Null Titles

MEGAPTERA - 'Extended Chaos' 2 x CD (Autarkeia) - £16 / £17 / £18

Another release to celebrate 15 years of Megaptera! "Exended Chaos" consists of two old releases, "Near Death" and "Beautiful Chaos". "Near Death" (cassette, Sound Source 1991) was Megaptera's first official release and is the only release with all 3 members (Peter Nyström, Magnus Pettersson, Mikael Svensson). Using drum machine, various synths, movies, TV, radio and microphone they created a totally analogue and dirty death theme. On this CD, 3 bonus tracks are added from the same period. Get prepared for old school! "Beautiful Chaos" (MCD, Fever Pitch 1998), has been extended to 10 tracks. The extra material is the two classic tracks 'Shadowland' and 'Sodom' from the "Death Odors" compilation, the two tracks from the "In the Buchers Backyard" compilation, a bombastic remix of the apocalyptic 'Final Day' (by The Protagonist) and an extended version of 'Shadowland', remixed by Peter Nyström and Magnus Sundström. The sound of "Beautiful Chaos" is structured and heavy with an "end of the world" theme, using sampled and mixed sounds. Mastered by Magnus Sundström. Ltd x 500 hand-numbered copies in a stunning foldout digipak, with an embossed slipcase. Highly recommended!

All Megaptera Titles

MICHAEL MANTRA - 'D#m / Gm' CD (Purple Soil) - £12 / £13 / £14
"D#m / Gm" is an album of extended ambient listening of sonic icebergs, slowly shifting over time. The album is based in ultra minimal atmospheric dronecore - an exploration into the dark unknown of sombre sonic states, of the mysterious unknown, leveraging changes in states of feeling and states of consciousness. Presented in a stunning 6-panel digisleeve with images courtesy of NASA. Recommended!

All Michael Mantra titles

MÖSE / HOG MOUNTIN - 'Split' CD (psycheDOOMelic) - £12 / £13 / £14
Alabama-based Hog Mountin are a pissed off sludge doom band that lie somewhere in between Grief, Crowbar and Eyehategod. You can expect pretty heavy "scream the lungs out" sludge throughout most of the music. On the second part of the split you get a couple of killer tunes by the Belgians Möse (featuring members of Neuthrone, Thee Plague Of Gentlemen and Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat...), a misanthropic sludge-metal outfit with one previous 7". Heavy and crushing, yet uniquely weird.

MUSLIMGAUZE - 'Nadir Of Purdah' CD (Tantric Harmonies / Aquarelist) - £12 / £13 / £14

A great collection of tracks recorded by the late Bryn Jones for the Jara Discs label in the mid-1990s, including the "Nile Quartra" 7", "Nadir of Purdah" 12". Also included as a bonus is the extremely rare "Thief Severed Hand" track, which appeared on a cassette compilation, available only with Impulse Magazine #4 (1994). 44 minutes of music. Regular limited edition of 500 copies in a jewelcase. Russian import.

All Muslimgauze titles


MUSLIMGAUZE - 'Nadir Of Purdah - Special Edition' CD (Tantric Harmonies / Aquarelist)
- £16 / £17 / £18

A great collection of tracks recorded by the late Bryn Jones for the Jara Discs label in the mid-1990s, including the "Nile Quartra" 7", "Nadir of Purdah" 12". Also included as a bonus is the extremely rare "Thief Severed Hand" track, which appeared on a cassette compilation, available only with Impulse Magazine #4 (1994). 44 minutes of music. Special limited edition of just 200 copies in a handmade digipak. ACT FAST!

All Muslimgauze titles


PYMATHON / GENTLE EVIL - 'Split' LP (Verdura Records) - £12 / £14 / £16
A tasteful combination of improvised thrash noise / metal by Pymathon (Topias Tiheäsalo and Jaakko Tolvi - the former known for his collaboration with RLW and solo CD, the latter for banging drums in Rauhan Orkesteri) and harsh noise-driven free jazz (not dissimilar to Merzbow in places) by Gentle Evil (Janne Tuomi and Tommi Keränen - the former known for a solo CD and percussion for Circle, the latter for being the other half of Testicle Hazard). Three tracks from Pymathon and a single, long track from Gentle Evil. "Both kick ass, crush skulls and are loud enough to demolish buildings". A solid improv guitar rant for those of a sturdy disposition! Finnish import.

All LP/12" Vinyl

SERVILE SECT - 'Stratospheric Passenger' CD (Sounds Of Battle & Souvenir Collecting)
- £10 / £11 / £12

"...[a] bizarre, and hauntingly beautiful slab of alien black metal... You can almost picture some mechanical monstrosity, pieces of human flesh, various organs, somehow built into the machine's inner workings, everything grinding and sparking all in a Herculean effort to produce this glorious droning buzzing blackness.... The sound of Servile Sect is epic, and majestic....Fans of the new wave of droned out dreamy metal, black and otherwise: Nadja, Angelic Process, Ameseours, Alcest, etc. will dig this, as will dronelords who like their drones heavy and loud and yeah, a bit metallic... " [Aquarius]. Ltd x 200 copies in a beautiful 6-panel digifile.

SISTRENATUS - 'Wrought Iron Railings' CD (Hermetique) - £12 / £13 / £14
Second full length album from Sistrenatus, after their debut 'Division One' on Cold Spring (CSR61CD). Sharp and dirty metal sounds are managed by Canadian Harlow MacFarlane with passion. He describes a sick industrial landscape. A walk under high surveillance where the danger is permanent. The listener will constantly be threatened... clammy hands... a rusty draught whips his face... he's winded and endangered. This brutal "atmospheric" development includes special collaborations with Propergol, Fire In The Head and Kenji Siratori. An industrial testimony without any compromise. Within this CD lurks a world of terror, with violent and corroded sounds. Ltd x 500 copies in an A5 foldout sleeve.

All Sistrenatus Titles


WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS - 'The Instrument Of Control' CD (Archivio Letterario) - £10 / £11 / £12
Collection of rare recordings of William Burroughs in conversation and readings from the 1970s/80s. This is an essential insight into the mind and writings of arguably the most influential writer from the Beat generation. "Through his mordant satire of cultural aspirations, homosexual eroticism and political power, Burroughs focuses our gaze into the abyss. His cold, surgical language creates beauty through a terror that we are just able to bear". A great collectors' item! Italian import.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Dreams... Of What Life Could Have Been' CD (psycheDOOMelic)
- £12 / £13 / £14
Subtitled "The Ultimate Sludge Compilation". Ten nihilistic sludge-doom songs (with an average of 8 minutes long, including a 12-minute marathon by Moss), by seven black doom bands. Never heard before recordings starring: Fistula (2 tracks), Grief (2 tracks), Moss, Negative Reaction, Ramesses, Soulpreacher (2 tracks) and Thee Plague Of Gentlemen. "...a compilation of extreme nihilistic sludge and black doom that will shred your nerves and leave you a pitiful, drooling mess" [Hellride]. Hungarian import.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Muzyka Voln' CD (Muzyka Voln) - £12 / £13 / £14
Debut release from Zhelezobeton's sublabel Muzyka Voln. This compilation of the same name contains compositions from 12 Russian projects playing ambient / drone music. Each project introduces the listener to its own sound world: mystical stories, isolationism, altered states of consciousness, space landscapes, monotonous technogenic rumble, guitar passages and much more. Exclusive tracks from: Anthesteria feat. Kaj?, Cisfinitum, Bardoseneticcube, Closing The Eternity, Exit In Grey, Hum, Instant Movie Combinations, Kshatriy, Lunar Abyss Deus Organum, Necropolis, Polaris and RemoteBand. A great comp for those interested in the Russian experimental scene and for lovers of beautiful contemplative music. Ltd x 500 copies in a six-panel digipak, decorated with photos of the Baltic Sea.

Ltd x 500.


CRISIS - 'Holocaust Hymns' CD (Apop Records) - £12 / £13 / £14

COLDNESS - 'Poisoned Gift' CD (Goatowarex) - £9 / £10 / £11

"Dark pounding raw Lusitanian Black Metal from Portugal in the Darkthrone / Burzum Nordic vein purveying a speedy violent attack. Featuring Nocturnus Horrendus (Corpus Christii, Morte Incandescente), Coldness is ultra sick, ultra raw, ultra grim black metal. Guitars so raw each riff is like having a swath of flesh flayed off and set afire. Thrashy and sometimes midtempo, with stretches of doomy dirge as well as burts of overblown vocals and blasts of hyperspeed roar. Insane vocals that go from raw demonic howls to paint peeling shrieks to inhuman squeals" [blackmetal.com]. Ltd x 1000.

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS - 'Plurima Mortis Imago' Enhanced CD (Conquer Records) - £9 / £10 / £11

Progressive / avant-garde Polish Black Metal act (now based in UK), who toured with Marduk in 2006. "A blend of furious speed, majestic guitar work, awesome dynamics and a sense of cold-blooded atmosphere that will chill you to the bone. Devilish Impressions play epic metal that slither direct from the sewers of Hell" [Terrorizer]. Comes with bonus video of the track 'SataniChaoSymphony'. "Plurima..." reminds of Emperor, early Dimmu Borgir and Borknagar in places.

ISARNHEIMR - 'Isarnheimr' CD (Goatowarex) - £9 / £10 / £11

From the home of Black Metal comes this Norwegian duo. Isarnheimr play mid-Tempo Black Metal in a raw, cold and depressing way, with a strong Anti-Christian message. The vocals are screamed but not in your typical Varg style. A good album that ably captures the cold depressive mood synonymous with this style of black metal. The track 'Livløst' comes from the 2006 self-titled release.

KILTE - 'Absence' MCD (Goatowarex) - £6 / £7 / £8

The first EP by the Belgian depressive black metallers! Three killer songs - a conceptual piece of art featuring a new ten minute opus, and two re-recorded demo tracks, with a cleansed line-up and an improved sound. In 25 minutes, 'Absence' takes you into three different dimensions of complete melancholic and misanthropic emptiness. A devastating sound with one message: "The world's true beauty lies within the darkness of our absence."

KINSTRIFE&BLOOD - 'On The Path Long Forgotten' CD (Goatowarex) - £9 / £10 / £11

Epic Australian Black Metal from the dark underground of Sydney "On The Path..." was issued 3 years after it was recorded. Heavily inspired by Austrian act Summoning, and using medieval sounds, Dani (Goatowarex) stated "it could be a lost demo from the 'Minas Morgul' period".

MORTIFERA - 'Vastiia Tenebrd Mortifera' CD (Goatowarex) - £9 / £10 / £11

This is the first full-length album from atmospheric French Black Metal act Mortifera. This is melancholic, raw black desolation from beyond the grave, tinged with sadness and nostalgia. This album also features a track from Celestia - unsurprising as Noktu Geiistmortt was the founder of Celestia.

PARAGON IMPURE - 'To Gaius! (For The Delivery Of Agrippina)' CD (Goatowarex) - £9 / £10 / £11

30 mins of tyrannic Black Metal from Belgium. "Ominous raw Black Metal that is as nerve-wracking and gut-wrenching, as it is supremely grim and violent. 4-Part tribute to Emperor Gaius Caligula from the band heralded for their now-rare EPs on Paniac Records. This is the crushing Black Metal soundtrack to Bachanalian decadence, depravity, cruelty and excess. Highly recommended for fans of Nattefrost, Torturium, Urgehal, Dodsferd and other distinctly unique UG BM bands" [blackmetal.com]. Dedicated to "the villains of ancientry, for the ones blinded by his cum".

STORM LEGION - 'The Eyes Of The Prophet' CD (Goatowarex) - £9 / £10 / £11

Antichristian, misanthropic Black Metal from Portugal. "After years of silence the grimster Storm Legion reappear with their long awaited debut album after a demo, EP and several compilation tracks. It was about time to let the world listen what they had in storage for many years. An album invoke the old days of acts such as Dodheimsgard and Darkthrone with dose of black trash poison. No new ground broken? So what the fuck narrow mind grim black metal it is???".

TORKA - 'Old Hatred' CD (Goatowarex) - £9 / £10 / £11

Professional reissue of an obscure release from a while back. Old School necro, satanic Black Metal from Slovenia, with cavernous, reverberated guitars, mid 1990s style, at times a bit like Carpathian Forest's more 'Hellhammer' moments, but with added dissonance. "An absolutley killer release that unfortunetly falls into obscurity due to regional ignorance" [Red Stream].

VERLOREN - 'In Zalvend Onmin' CD (Goatowarex) - £9 / £10 / £11

Cold, destructive and suicidal Black Metal from Belgium, with a member of Paragon Impure and Gotmoor. "The unpolished sound immediately attracts one's attention and it suits the songs perfectly.... From the dramatic structures to the subjectively right placed bridges to the razor-sharp riffing and the teeth-on-edge-setting screams of the fronter, there are only positive things to mention" [Taakefrost]. This was the final album from Verloren (the Dutch word for 'lost') and the band are now defunct.

VROLOK / EMIT - 'Pestilence 1440 / The Divine Eye' CD (Goatowarex) - £9 / £10 / £11

The aural manifestation of hidden knowledge and black arts. Emit returns with a new twist on its "anti-art", forcing astral projections of pitch blackness. US act Vrolok contributes some of its most violent and moving material to date, another recording of black fuzz. Vrolok is a member of Autumn Wind Productions act Vomit Orchestra and this side shows with their dark ambient / noise leanings.
