BARDOSENETICCUBE & NOISES OF RUSSIA - 'New Orthodox Line' CD (Some Place Else)
- £12 / £13 / £14
"New Orthodox Line" brings together two of the most notable Russian post-industrial / experimental groups: Bardoseneticcube and Noises of Russia. This unique collaboration brings the best of both artists to the surface, and results in an extremely powerful and intense emotional experience. The opus travels from sacral soundscapes of orthodox choirs and church bells to a more punishing end of the sonic spectrum provided by pounding rhythms and howling feedback. Here, opposites unite with passion and compliment each other for the sake of the greater good, the synergetic New Orthodox Line. Presented in a slimline square DVD case.

GELSOMINA & NO XIVIC - 'Furnace' CD (Some Place Else) - £12 / £13 / £14
"Furnace" is an unlikely, yet strangely natural union of No Xivic, renowned sculptor of dark electro-acoustic soundscapes, and Gelsomina, Finland's most prolific harsh noise artist. The title track, also the main piece on the album, is a live collaboration recorded in late 2006, a grand opus of psychedelic noise with a peculiar 'kraut' flavour! In addition to this, both artists created exclusive tracks on their own to complete the album. In total, "Furnace" is a 44-minute blast of fire, brimstone and hazardous electric currents. Presented in a slimline square DVD case.

JAHRTAL - 'Lichtbuch' CD (Ahnstern) - £12 / £13 / £14
First album by the Austrian Psychedelic-Folk artist Jahrtal (Ewald Spiss from 80s Industrial act Tyrol. "Lichtbuch" is a unique collection of traditional folk songs from the Alps, musical versions of poems by Joseph von Eichendorff, traditionals from England and Scotland with German translation and even a traditional Tibetan prayer. A wide and balanced instrumentation gives the album a unique touch, with a sad / optimistic mood. Jahrtal uses acoustic and electric guitars, lute, banjo, dulcimer, gzitar, harpzither, psalter, flute, duduk, schalm, violin, organ and bird song. The main influences of Jahrtal are in the end-60s and early 70s with bands like Witthüser & Westrupp, Spirogyra and C.O.B., but a comparison to the most beautiful ballads of Current 93 is inevitable as well. This is an absolutely authentic Folk album with great heart and pure soul.

NETHERWORLD - 'Kall - The Abyss Where Dreams Fall' CD (Mondes Elliptiques) - £12 / £13 / £14
In a tradition that is anchored in avant-garde, ritual sounds and Dark Ambient, with a typically Italian touch, Netherworld gives an elegantly organic and palpable feel to sounds... as if the sound universe conjured by the magic of Netherworld was strangely… occupied. Netherworld has a tendency for ambiences that are excessively introspective and subdued, but which, at the same time, expand and subtly dilate to occupy an incommensurable space. Upon the first pulses of the opening track, this infinite abyss, envelops us and our dreams sink, dissolve, reinvent themselves. Limited to 441 copies in a deluxe textured foldout sleeve.

NUMINOUS EYE - 'Live / Studio’ LP (Little Mafia) - £13 / £15 / £17

SANGRE CAVALLUM - 'Troadouro - Retrospectiva 1997-2007' 2 x CD (Folcastro) - £15 / £16 / £17
"Troadouro" is a 10-year retrospective from this Portugese age, containing 44 unreleased, rare, collectable and early songs. From their debut tape of ritual folklore, “Alborada do Douro”, followed by excerpts of rehearsals, demos, a live song with Michael Moynihan and Annabel Lee of Blood Axis, a home version of 'Wir rufen Deine Wölfe' with Gerhard Hallstatt (Allerseelen) and a lot of exciting unreleased songs in their unique style. This new folklorist and field collector label Folcastro (connected to Sangre Cavallum) researches the area of ethnomusicology and lore along with the new paths of folk music. An expedition to the world of pagan tradition with a contemporary interpretation. A clear co-operation with the Alpen song hunters of Ahnstern / Percht. Released in a 6-panel double digipak.

SANGRE CAVALLUM - 'Veleno De Teixo' CD (Ahnstern) - £12 / £13 / £14
“Veleno de Teixo” ("Yew Poison") is a collection of tributes to women and to the cult of mother-goddess in pre-Christian era. "Veleno de Teixo" contains a brand-new set of 16 powerful songs between pagan folk and power-psych atmospheres. Inspired by the music and ethnography of their homeland Callaecia (northern Portugal). Among many traditional instruments they play the hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, flutes, folkloric guitars, war-drums and many times these acoustic instruments are transformed with heavy distortions and meet the psychedelic bass and vintage guitars. A step forward in their wonderful path and a pleasing example of how tradition is a living thing when folklore meets folk rock or dark industrial music. Comes in a stunning 6-panel digipak with 16-page booklet.

SEELENTHRON - 'Wege' CD (Heimatfolk) - £12 / £13 / £14
Second full-length album from the two former Dies Natalis protagonists, Norbert Strahl and Alex Meier. "Wege" is a classical Neofolk album in best tradition. Some songs mirror a sad, sometimes even gloomy picture of the world inside and outside of ourselves, other songs are just filigree Folk-ballads, as beautiful and dreamy as one could imagine. Nevertheless all nine songs always stand strong and powerful, showing a path to the listener, never to turn back and never to lose his courage. Martial rhythms drum stirringly to neoclassical compositions, united with impassionate piano and guitar playing and electronic sounds. The challenging lyrics on "Wege" deal with the stages in one's life, our path through time and the questions for the meaning and the purpose of life. Digipak with booklet.

TESTPHASEN NEGATIV - 'How I Won The War' CD (Sérpéné Héli) - £11 / £12 / £13
Debut release from German artist Ralf Rabendorn's experimental ambient project. The album itself is a journey through the remanents of a post-apocalyptic world. An ode to a dying world through the use of Ambient and Post-Rock, with hints of Power Electronics. Just under an hour of desolate retrospectiion. Presented in a 6-panel A5 sleeve with printed inner sleeve.

TRIARII - 'Ars Militaria (2nd Edition)' CD (Eternal Soul) - £12 / £13 / £14
Second edition (1st Ed Ltd 500, 2005) of Triarii's debut album! 12 tracks of the finest heroic and bombastic military pop. Layers of snare drums, heavy orchestral strings, overwhelming fanfares and marches, historical samples and noises break down over the listeners head like a fatal thunderstorm. If you’re a fan of Sophia, Karjalan Sissit, In Slaughter Natives or Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, this is an absolutely essential release for you. Thoroughly catchy and highly recommended! This unlimited edition comes with brand new artwork.

TRIARII - 'Pièce Héroique (2nd Edition)' CD (Eternal Soul) - £12 / £13 / £14
Second edition (1st Ed Ltd 999, 2006) of one of the most requested Martial Industrial titles we've ever stocked! With their second album Triarii keep marching on the military trail, having developed their sound since their debut "Ars Militaria". Triarii secure their position on the heavily disputed military pop genre combining martial, bombastic and neo-classical tunes. Features a very nice collaboration with Tomas Pettersson (Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio), vocals produced by Axel Frank (Werkraum) on two tracks and, top of all this, it mastered by In Slaughter Natives. We called this the best Martial Industrial album of 2006 and very little has come close since! This unlimited edition comes with brand new artwork.

TROUM - 'Sen’ 2 x LP Picture Disc Set (Equation Records) - £25 / £28 / £32

Originally released on CD (2000). "Sen - Troum's contribution to Staalplaat's luminary Mort Aux Vaches series - is fixated on the North Sea where sheets of black ice creak under the tidal currents that roll onto a rocky beach. Troum sees no need to utter any direct references, implying their metaphors begind a bleak drone haze of guitars, bells, voice, and keyboards treated with a heavy dose of synthetic cathedral reverb. Sen reveals Troum's post-industrial background with a churning drum machine which rumbles underneath the complex tonal patterns like an antiquated seaside factory. Troum, more so than their precedent incarnation Maeror Tri, has the potential to invoke awe through their hypnogogic expanses of droning sound. Rarely have they failed to push beyond their potential, and Sen is no exception." (Aquarius). This is a stunning addition to any vinyl collection - 2 exquisite picture discs, a series of 7" circular artcards and a Troum sticker. This set is limited to 217 hand-numbered copies. ACT FAST!
