New arrivals in the BSAH distribution on-line store (5.4.2006)
BACK IN STOCK: ALUMINUM NOISE: OUTNUMBERED AND FATIGUED: ROMANTIC MUSIC,
CD-R
(Mechanoise Labs)
Outnumbered and Fatigued is a personal journey through sound, whetever
lush, lo-fi or openly noisy. Meet the People of the Volcano, contemplate
their Secret Temple, face your wandering dreams and nightmares in aural
swamps, and then finally stumble down for the Small Death. As the last
murmurs gradually fade like the colors on a old photograph, time has
only left two things for us : memories and emotions.
PRICE: 8 € / $
BARDOSENETICCUBE: BAD HEAVEN, CD-R
(Ostroga)
One more record from Petersburg surrealist Igor Potsukajlo. Dark-drone
ambient on a Christian theme. A deep bottomless atmosphere of the uneasy
sky and church singing. Toward the end listenings of record you find out
yourself in perfect other place. Full colour an envelope with the image
of the icon found in old Ural village, burnt inserts, 222 copies.
PRICE: 9 € / $
BACK IN STOCK: CHAOS AS SHELTER / THE HOLLOWING: HEAVENLY LETTER, CD-R
(Mechanoise Labs)
Appearing at times of despair and plagues across Europe, the flagellants
believed in punishing themselves in the hope that God would not. Their
processions of self-flagellation lasted 33½ days, matching the number of
years in Christ’s life, and served as penance for their sins and those
of others.
The Heavenly Letter refers to the text that they believed was a direct
ultimatum from God himself: humanity, failed and corrupt, had one last
chance at reform before the destruction of all life. Denounced as
heretics by the Church, they were persecuted and driven underground.
During the Black Death in 1348, the same letter reappeared with an added
paragraph that addressed the plague, and became the manifesto of a
reborn flagellant movement. As times went on and the world didn't end as
expected, enthusiasm for self-scourging waned and the movement dispersed.
The work here isn't easily digested and is often demanding of one's
senses. Slow, churning drones collapse into clattering bells, wheels of
noise rotate themselves to oblivion and disembodied flutes and voices
accompany the procession on its way to absolution. Sound throbs as one
writhing body, and then explodes into morsels of granulated flesh,
purity found once again.

BACK IN STOCK: MAGWHEELS: LANTERNS, CD-R
(Mechanoise Labs)
A powerful and eloquent release that combines the best aspects of
lucious textures, melancholic processed guitars and well-used noises.
Reminiscent of some Controlled Bleeding material around their "Songs
from the ashes" period, the disc gradually explores different directions
without losing its focus on its warm and particular sound. Emotional and
vibrant at times, calm and thoughtful at others, "Lanterns" casts its
light across 8 tracks, capturing both the brightness and the shadows,
the melodies and the dissonance. [Mechanoise Labs]

POOCHLATZ: VICTIMS OF SELF PRESERVATION, CD
(self-released)
Against all odds, we strive for excellence – we pray for prey, but
shudder helpless – what's the meaning of this perverse? I've got them
infecting on the flaws, questioning the truth – if needed, they will
convert heaven into a burning hollow space – but once anxiety will slap
me back, sanity will strike some points – could it be that everyone
needs a miss to flourish? Get down to it and finish the job: Poochlatz
debut CD, Victims of Self Preservation, is out now - a limited edition
of only 999 copies!!!
PRICE: 12 € / $
BACK IN STOCK: RUPOR UDARA / KRYPTOGEN RUNDFUNK:
CARNAL PANZER RITUAL / SENDUNG FüR DEINES MARK, CD-R
(Mechanoise Labs)
Gathering two russian projects involved in the Zhelezobeton label, this
split demonstrates the cold, heart-freezing power electronics of Rupor
Udara and the old-school electric discharges of Kryptogen Rundfunk in an
essential and condensed 36 minutes.
As soon as the pulsating loops and suffocating piano lines of
"Demagnetizator" kick in, Rupor Udara builds up an emotional and
painfully brutal world of raw vocals and understated melancholy, with
tracks such as "My Daughter Is No More" proving themselves to be
monuments to his skills.
During the second part of the split, the focus shifts to Kryptogen
Rundfunk's cunning abuse of analog retro-electronics and pounding
drones. "Sendung für deines Mark" is only a small sampling of what this
project has in store for us, but what a sampling it is. Mechanical loops
duel with warm intoxicating bass drones for the spotlight, and once
they've kicked in ("Maschinentanz"), there's no shutting down this engine.
The disc ends with the brief and climatic "Kill n' Dance", welding
together the two projects for 2 minutes of chaotic drumbox madness and
inhuman vocals.
PRICE: 8 € / $
SILENCE & STRENGHT: LE DIVIN CAGLIOSTRO, CD
(The Eastern Front)
A Tribute to the Grand Copht, the creator of the Egyptian Rite of
Freemasonry, the most colourful magical Adept and one of the previous
incarnations of the Master Therion. Recorded in Tel-Aviv, Israel by
local dark-ambient/dark-folk project. [The Eastern Front]
Limited hand-numbered edition DVD-box 620 copies.
PRICE: 12 € / $
URNA: MISSADQUUMDAHLE, CD-R
(Abgurd)
This CD-r presents early recordings of well-known Italian Death Ambient
project. Music of those days differs from the sounds you can hear on
CD-rs released by Slaughter Productions - it is harsher, rawer & has a
unique primeval mood. Bells, singing bowls, deviant shrieks & moanings,
raped classical melodies & organ masses wrapp you into a rotting
cerement of pestilential Danse Macabre. The CD-r contains `Templum sub
Terra` MC (released by O.O.D. in 1999) & part of split-MC with
LESCH-NYHAN SINDROME. Also, a CD-r with 4 unreleased tracks of the same
era goes as a bonus for the first 50 copies of the release. All the
tracks are remastered by 121 of VELEHENTOR.
250 copies in a mini DVD-box.
PRICE: 8 € / $

images of the Ural industry. Ltd x 62 copies only!
PRICE: 8 € / $

(Ostroga)

envelope the poster. The general circulation of 50 copies.
