Greetings All,

** Aural Hypnox News (16.11.2009)

Out Now: Halo Manash 'Taiwaskivi', CD + DVD [AH12]

As winter hibernation and spring awakening gives way to summer, Halo
Manash rises radiant into luminosity, with wings spread into all worlds,
and brings forth Taiwaskivi, an opulent work of solar ambience and
primordial Ur-music.

Taiwaskivi, a work of sonic flame and aural ash, consists of seven
interrelated tracks, utilizing such diverse instrumentation as organ,
horns, vocals, drums, gongs, percussions and various string instruments
as well as field-recordings captured during the pilgrimage that the
creation of the work embodies.

An air of finality abounds, as Taiwaskivi, although a complete work in
itself, can also be viewed as the third and final facet of a tripartite
series of works that are part of one holistic creation – a treelogy,
with seed, root, trunk and finally, branches. Being the culmination of
an ascending journey through the aforementioned realms within and
without, Taiwaskivi is the celestial crown at the peak, reaching toward
Sol, source and beyond; it is the leaves and fruit of the branches and
their skybound nectar ever-flowing - the sacred fire, the consummation
and conjunction of All.

Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet.

Two different editions are available; regular CD edition and CD + DVD
with inserts. Both are limited to 500 copies.

AETERNA: NEW DAWN, CD
(Cold Meat)
Awake the New Dawn!

Aeterna is a new apocalyptic folk outfit from Germany, born in 2007. In
the beginning it was intended to be the strictly personal musical outlet
for founding member Birthe Klementowski, well-known from her artwork for
Cold Meat Industry’s Desiderii Marginis, :Golgatha: and Dawn & Dusk
Entwined, but the dynamics between Alpha and Omega brought forth
something new. The dark and brooding atmospheres invoke the mood of
decline and decay, a direct resemblance to the artist’s photography. The
album ‘New Dawn’ ultimately presents 11 songs about the decline and
rebirth of culture.

Aeterna does not serve ideological pattern but presents the musical and
visual output as an inspiration for the audience. Death is always the
beginning of a new circle. Out of hopelessness arises a New Dawn. As the
earth faces the end of resources and the destruction of nature, the loss
of spiritual values and the total virtualisation of the all-day life,
mankind experiences a self made inferno. We have to turn and find new
ways… Aeterna is a prayer for these new ways. For new spiritual values
to ignite the fire of enlightenment once more. To create something new
out of the old roots. The Old Gods eventually may not return, but the
Eternal Principle is still there.

The music of Aeterna is based on ritualistic and shamanistic structures,
mainly acoustic sounds, and invoking chants – all based on the dualistic
principle of male and female energy – Alpha & Omega. Aeterna is a
trans-modern, neo-shamanistic, animistic art project. A Luciferian
hymnus to awake the New Dawn…

ALL HAIL THE TRANSCENDING GHOST: S/T, CD
(Cold Spring)
The debut album from AHTTG - a joint collaboration between Henrik
Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Toroidh, Folkstorm etc) and Tim Bertilsson
(Fear Falls Burning, Switchblade). The Swedish duo have created arguably
one of the most haunting drone-dark-ambient-industrial works in recent
years, invoking the spirits of old Nordvargr, meets the sludge-doom vibe
of Tim's hellish guitar. "...truly the most scary music I have recorded"
(Nordvargr). An icy chill down your spine... a cold hand on your
shoulder... you are never alone in the darkness.

PRICE: 12 €


ARTEFACTUM: SUB ROSA, 7"
(Drone Records)
"Drone Records is very proud to present the first vinyl-release of the
enchanting ARTEFACTUM project from Poland! Described by herself as
"Female Esoterica", SUB ROSA opens a vast space filled with tons of
different sounds coming from very far away, as nebulous melodies,
whispers & voices & choirs, little clicks & cracks, with soft percussive
structures appearing on Side B. The two pieces named ROSA ALBA and ROSA
RUBEA (white & red rose) have a strong metaphorical alchemistic
background, meaning the end point of all alchemistic transmuations. The
overall release including the beautiful artwork gives the impression of
an almost fabulous acoustic phantasy, so refined & almost caressing yet
secretful at the same time. A record filled with "sonic magic" !

WORLD, CD
(Cold Spring)
Reissue of the stunning debut BHN album from spring 2008 (Ltd x 200).

edition, with modified artwork for 2009.

PRICE: 12 €


H.E.R.R.: XII CAESARS, CD
(Cold Spring)
Based on Suetonius' De Vita Caesarum (121 AD), this wonderful new album
deals with the notorious lives of a dozen Roman emperors and leads you
on a gripping musical adventure through the greed, cruelty, fratricide
and excess, which characterised their incomparable lust for power. But
this is no run-of-the-mill exercise in historical sychopancy... H.E.R.R.
retell the lives of the Emperors with honesty, drama and humour. This
release - complete with the compositional and vocal hallmarks for which
the group is so widely renowned - is set to become a true classic of the
genre. Comes with an elegant 16-page booklet!

PRICE: 12 €


INFANT CYCLE: SECRET HIDDEN MESSAGE, 7"
(Drone Records)
"THE INFANT CYCLE is a long operating experimental project from Ontario
(Canada), active since 1992 with many releases on MC & CDR on different
labels and the home imprint THE CEILING. The three pieces on this EP
were created using sounds from various instruments as Trombone, guitar,
windchimes, marimba, birdcage, etc.. The result sounds rather electronic
& hypnotic, with bright shining drones & repetitive rhythmic patterns &
loops moving into more amorphous & multilayered sounding
electro-acoustics. In spite of the rather experimental working-methods
the outcome is very compact & condensed. THE INFANT CYCLEs approach to
sound is based on the belief that words and explanations can only fail
to describe or explain it, what is needed is a non-verbal, intuitive
understanding of the work: "The artist's ego must not inhibit the
piece's effect. It is the sound you are hearing, not the artist." Is the
artist playing the sound or the sound playing the artist?

KNIFELADDER: MUSIC/CONCRETE, CD
(Cold Meat)
Knifeladder have been in existence in one form or another since 1998.
Their sound is the culmination of years of experimentation and
independent development. The resultant sound is a heavily percussive
industrial organic hybrid, a new meshing of electronic loops, live bass
and percussion and ethnic instrumentation to form a kind of Organic
Industrial Music.Two years after the release of 'The Spectacle' (now
sold out) Cold Meat Industry are pleased to present the latest work by
Knifeladder; 'Music/Concrete'. - a unique mix of hi tec and lo fi
sounds, authorititive drums courtesy of the one and only John Murphy,
and distorted obscure instruments, Knifeladder have again produced a
work of great visceral power. With shuddering machine loops overlaid
with frenetic metal percussion, power ambient soundscapes melting into
epic defiant anthems, Music/Concrete uses traditional hand played
electronics and instrumentation to realise a throroughly contemporary
vision of rebirth and decay. Compared to such acts as Test Dept, Coil
and Mother Destruction, Knifeladder have outgrown their reference points
to create their own niche in the genre obsessed Industrial scene.
The personnel include Jonh Murphy, percussionist and electronic pioneer
with such acts as SPK, early Current 93 and credible pop act The
Associates. Andrew Trail was founder of Autogeddon and performed in the
controversial Ministry of Love, who broke up after being banned from
performing in every live venue in Sydney. Hunter Barr was a founder
member of the infamous Infant Skull Surgery and is a renowned recording
engineer for his unconventional yet obsessively perfectionist approach.
Knifeladder themselves have performed with such acts as Allerseen,
Sieben, Naevus, Coil, Bad Sector and Neither/neither world. With over
100 live actions, they have mastered the live environment like few others.

Play loud, play often, and find the joy that only laughing in the face
of death can bring...

MICHAEL NORTHAM: SUHINA, 10"
(Substantia Innominata)
Brilliant new recordings by the prolific cosmopolitan (currently
residing in Berlin) MICHAEL NORTHAM. "Suhina" is a notion for the sound
of the wind moving through the trees. Instead of doing field recordings
of wind MICHAEL NORTHAM tried to capture this feeling & the essence of
this process through instrumental recordings from Indonesian flute &
keyboard. Nature phenomena seen as the true manifestation of the
Unknown. Stunning full colour artwork by Indian artist ROHINI DEVASHER.
White vinyl, edition of 500 copies, incl. inlay with text by M. NORTHAM.

PRICE: 12 €


NORDVARGR: EVOLUTION, 2CD
(Old Europa Cafe)
This is the new doublealbum, and possibly the last, that will be
released as Nordvargr. Henrik has expressed that he has nothing left to
give as a darkambient composer, so this might be his final stand.

Disc one of Evolution is firmly rooted in classic Nordvargr territories
- darkambient but with a slight MZ. 412 touch, as it has some more
bombastic and noisy elements to it than what we are used to hear from him.

Disc two is divided in two parts - first 8 tracks from the AVART
sessions ("Music for movement"). Part two is four tracks which are more
"elektronika"-styled tracks, and shows another side of his personality.

Evolution is best described in Nordvargr´s own words: "Evolution
contains elements of music I have recorded over the last ten years as
well as completely new material. If you are familiar with my previous
albums you will find sounds you have heard before, but in a new setting.
But Evolution is not to be confused with a "best of" album - it is a
distilled and refined album of my inner visions and feelings, filtered
through my past to show the future, and possibly the end."

PRICE: 18 €


OVRO: HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL, 7"
(Drone Records)
"OVRO has already been called "the wondergirl of Finnish experimental
music" and with this, her first ever vinyl-release, she really proves
this! On HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL deep waving droning noises are set
against vortexing echoes & swirling digital effects, derived from what
could be instrumental sources or object recordings, moving the willing
listener into a surrealistic subconscious dimension. Especially on the
second side the contrasting conrete material can fill your imagination
with "something" that "happens", so captivating & condensed! This music
spreads like an unconscious aural travelogue in different spatial
directions (horizontal & vertical). What makes OVRO so special is her
capability to create very "cinematographic" and "narrative"
drone-atmospheres or landscapes, with great care for even tiniest
details. OVRO is also a part of the SOME PLACE ELSE-association,
together with NIKO SKORPIO.

Cold Spring proudly presents the brand new album from Rose Rovine E
Amanti. “Demian” is a powerful mixture of Neo-Folk-Rock with a
Mediterranean sensibility. 10 tracks presenting the new, unique sound
from this great Italian project. Comes with an outstanding 14-page
booklet containing exclusive drawings by Bulgarian artist Emil Ivanov
Saparevski, which illustrate each song and its lyrics. Highly recommended!
PRICE: 12 €


SISTRENATUS: SENSITIVE DISTURBANCE, CD
(Cold Spring)
Blurring the lines between Dark Ambient, Industrial and Noise,
Sistrenatus storms forth, shifting between oppressive aggression and
unsettling atmospheres. "Sensitive Disturbance" is the third offering
from this now legendary Canadian act, whose debut "Division One" was
issued on Cold Spring in 2007. An aural journey through the urban decay
of abandoned factories, scorched landscapes and underground passageways.
"Sensitive Disturbance" is an abrasive rendition of the industrial
revolution in its darkest phases.

PRICE: 12 €


SPECTRE [Ain Soph]: 10 PEZZI FACILI, CD
(Old Europa Cafe)
And here comes the second solo album for Marcello Fraioli, aka SPECTRE.
The AIN SOPH singer and guitarist! Minimal orchestral experimentations,
rock ballads, folk, Italian cabaret, singed poetry and spoken word.
Includes one Ain Soph and three other very strange / suprising covers
... This is best "Italian / Mediterranean Sound" in perfect "Spectre
style".

Absolutely recommended.

PRICE: 13 €


SPLINTERSKIN: WAYWARD SOULS, CD
(Cold Spring)
Caught in the oblivious borderland, Splinterskin unveils his spell after
years of solitude and hermetic isolation, in the form of a harsh, dark
folk music. His tales are told using an old classical guitar accompanied
by haunting vocals, violin, and soothing whispers cradled in the
delicate atmospheres of autumn. With simple yet mystically riddled
lyrics that beckon, Splinterskin taunts the listener with hidden
meanings, allegorical concepts, nearly indescribable deep feelings, and
a sense of universal understanding only a spirit as Splinterskin could
possibly weave together as music.

‘Wayward Souls’ is a collection of tales blending life and death,
entities & creatures, hidden wisdom, unknown places, pain and suffering,
folklore, possession, insanity, nature and the dark world that surrounds.

With tales such as 'Dancing Dead Men,' 'The Thing that Wasn't,' and
'Chanting Bells Call Shadows', one can only suspect the moods are of a
dark, moody and nightmarish nature...yet, there are no words to truly
describe Splinterskin's message or music.

PRICE: 12 €


STRATVM TERROR: FIXATION, CD
(Old Europa Cafe)
Full length album for this great Sweden power industrial duo & Raison
D'Etre side project, 3rd ST album produced on OEC! Fixation is in our
mind, and the world may be a cruel place just as reflected in
"Fixation". This album mainly contains unreleased material recorded in
1998-1999, in the vein of the earlier CD album "Genetic Implosion" but
way more harsh and brutal, there are also two completely new tracks
recorded in 2004 showing a change in direction by combining doom metal
and industrial elements in a masterful way, moreover there is a live
track recorded at "Nursery Injection Festival" in Stockholm 1998 ...
"Fixation" may damage your health but that won’t kill you, only for an
hour. And maybe you have learnt something afterwards.

PRICE: 12 €


TENHORNEDBEAST: MY HORNS ARE A FLAME TO DRAW DOWN THE TRUTH, CD
(Cold Spring)
The TenHornedBeast rises again.

In the summer of 2007 Cold Spring Records released “The Sacred Truth”,
the first CD by TenHornedBeast. A dark and menacing soundscape of
funereal ambience and soaring, burning feedback.

“My Horns Are A Flame To Draw Down The Truth” sees five new compositions
from black ambient / doom overlord Christopher Walton, taken from the
same sessions that gave forth “The Sacred Truth”.

“My Horns Are A Flame To Draw Down The Truth” consists of three remixes
/ expansions / contractions of pieces from the debut album "The Sacred
Truth" and two totally new compositions in a similar style to this dark
masterpiece.

Walton has stripped the songs to their bare bones and allowed them space
to breathe again. This album is all-new but continues the atmosphere of
the debut and can be considered a companion piece. Presented in a
matt-laminate, spot-varnished digipak.

Speaking in Rock-A-Rolla Magazine on the release of “The Sacred Truth”
Walton said: “I realised that the “sacred truth” is my own focus, desire
and will. TenHornedBeast is, as it says on the album, my visions and I
need to draw down the Current to me”.

Take Hold Of The Flame.

TRIORE: THREE HOURS, CD
(Cold Meat)
This fairytale started to unravel four years ago with the release of
Triarii’s "Piece Heroique" (ES-05). A sinister seed was planted in the
fertile soil of northern Europe as Christian Erdmann (Triarii) and Tomas
Pettersson (Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio) gave birth to the track "Roses 4
Rome".

And now finally, the progeny has been conceived and fully developed; and
what they call TriORE, has ultimately been born. Both participants go
beyond themselves and step out of normal character, but TriORE is
nonetheless the embodiment of all that which is Triarii, and all that
which is Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio; like a succulent apple in two
opposite pieces just waiting to be devoured.

The bombastic touch of Triarii is still there; the string sections, the
choirs, the martial drums and much more; alongside the eloquence of Ordo
Rosarius Equilibrio, musically, melodically, as well as lyrically.

This is what all lovers of both bands have been waiting for, a complete
forty minutes of Art Deco Industrial Pop. This work begins where Roses 4
Rose left us, and takes all the way from the rising of victory, through
the trenches and all the way till Europa falls.

TROUM: SIGQAN, CD
(Transgredient Records)
"Deep beneath the ocean is a world of mystery, wonder, darkness, and
danger. Even if it weren't for the cover art of this German duo's
brilliant new album, there is unmistakably no other place in the
universe that has influenced the sounds and movement of what is
represented within. These drones are not passive in the least. The depth
and volume are all encompassing, and moving slowly but steadily like an
ancient and lonely large whale through the graveyards of shipwrecks, at
the very beginning of the food chain in which all living creatures
depend. Recorded live in the studio without overdubs, the first two
parts are based on live performances the band was touring around with in
2001, the first being a dark blue rumble, heavy on the low end and
marked by patient melodic movement, the second with swirling guitar
strums and leads like the sun coming through in bended bands of beams:
flickering, reflected, and refracted. The intangible overwhelming
feeling of weight and pressure is unavoidable and inescapable, like
being frozen in a dream, unable to move, but calm and comforting all the
same. Around the half-way mark, it dips back into the darker regions as
pitch and pace slow down deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper yet
into the cold, black unknown. The third part was recorded as an
afterthought, and is described as a new ending. Its brightness and
chugging backwards-sounding guitars brilliantly accent the feel that it
is a journey which is reaching its end. At this point, it feels that the
central figure in the journey seems to be a vessyl of some sort, and the
16-minute Part 3 is thematic of a glorious resurfacing, reintroduction
to the bright light of day, and returning to solid ground. But, as the
brightness comes, so does an ominous sense that all might not be right.
The world looks different than before, the places are familiar but
everything's seemed to have changed. The credits may roll but this is
certainly not the end." [Jon Whitney / Brainwashed]

VOICE OF EYE: SUBSTANTIA INNOMINATA, 10"
(Substantia Innominata)
"This release marks the comeback of the legendary duo from New Mexico,
USA, consisting of BONNIE McNAIRN and JIM WILSON! Over a decade ago
(1992-1995) VOICE OF EYE released three albums with their unique style
combining ethnic, ritualistic & folklore influences in an experimental
and highly organic way to create a kind of "transcendental drone
ambience", using only "real" instruments & self-built devices and an
array of electronic effects. In November 1994 they released an EP
entitled "Sprocket" on Drone Records (DR-09), which is still one of the
absolute highlights in the Drone series. After this first phase of
musical creation VOICE OF EYE focused on building an incredible
"Earthship" house in the deserts of New Mexico. In 2007 they returned
doing shows in the States, Germany, France & Italy and releasing two
limited CDRs. This 10" has 3 tracks with NEW material (entitled "VIRYA",
"DHYANA" and "PURUSA") inspired by the wisdom of Buddhist / Advaitic
meditation & philosophy, where the contemplation within music & sounds
appears as a tool to reach a higher consciousness & awareness of
reality. This highly sublime & emotional "other-dimensional" ambience is
based on lots of ethereal vocal material, flute-sounds and their typical
self-built string-instruments, full of yearning and beauty - almost 39
minutes of material coming on clear vinyl with golden striae, with
superb artwork by THOMAS DOHMEN. This is the celebration of the
"Unknown", seen as a state of mind where the Ego dissolves into a
timeless universal consciousness." [label description]

Z'EV: SUM THINGS, CD
(Cold Spring)
Through an element darkly… In the fall of 2005 Z’EV began dipping deep
into his archives and selecting recordings to produce ‘sum things / a
possible form for cold dark matter’, a project reflecting his take on
the ‘dark ambience’ genre. Composed between December 2005 and March
2006, these 6 pieces endeavor to transport the listener deep into their
long forgotten memories of the primal forces at the dawn of creation.
Each piece is based on a single sound source. Absolutely no effects of
any kind, not even equalization, were applied to the source recordings.
Instead Z’EV relied solely on the stretching of the duration and pitch
of the samples and then edited and mixed the results down into the heart
of space. Hear then, the state of the art in elemental musics. Not to
forget the beautiful packaging by artist Abby Helasdottir.

ALISTAIR CROSBIE: MUSICFORSHIPWRECKS, CD-R
(Afe Records)
"Musicforshipwrecks" is the third in an occasional series of albums,
expanding on the previous volumes "Musicfordrowning" (Lefthand
Pressings, 2006) and "Musicforlighthouses" (Quinquaginta, 2007).
I wanted to really tell a story with this installment as this was
something I hadn't done across a whole album previously. I also wanted
to stick to conventional instrumentation - aside from a voice sample on
the opening track, all the sounds are either guitar (tracks 2 and 3) or
synthesiser (tracks 1 and 4).

The album was recorded across the first three months of 2008 - during
this period, I had to cross a river at least twice a day and the weather
was mostly awful. This undoubtedly influenced the album's contents.

I had originally intended this to be the last "Musicfor..." release but
I have come to feel that there is one more part of this story to be told.

AMON vs. MORTAR: AMON vs. MORTAR, CD-R
(Afe Records)
Amon is one of the earliest music projects of Andrea Marutti from Italy,
also active under his own name and the Never Known alias, and also Afe
Records label owner.

Andrea began his experiments with music in the early '90s using tapes
and concrete elements. A few years later he also began to use
synthesizers, samplers and other electronic devices, and founded the
Lips Vago Digital Studio.

Several releases of Ambient / Dark Ambient music credited to him were
published by labels such as Eibon Records, Amplexus, Silentes, Nextera,
Drone Records, Taâlem, etc. on CD and other medias.

He is also responsible of many other projects dealing with different
styles of electronic music ranging from Lo-Fi / Weird / Cheap
Electronica to IDM (Wolkspurz & Ramirez, Lips Vago), Dada / Noise /
Non-sense (Spiral, The Afeman).

He is part of Hall of Mirrors along with Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh), of
Sil Muir with Andrea "Ics" Ferraris (Ur, Airchamber3) and of Molnija
Aura with Davide Del Col (Ornament, Echran).

Mortar was a side-project of Moreno Daldosso, mainly active in the
Power-Electronics area as Murder Corporation.

Owner of the now defunct Murder Release label - mostly specialized in
Power-Electronics / Noise cassette releases - he also released music
under the Metastatic and Spiral aliases.

Mortar's trademark lo-fi sound can be easily filed under the
Death-Ambient genre, we'd like to remember his ability to create
horrifing soundscapes using low-resolution and time-stretched samples of
classic music.

During its first years of existence, Mortar music was published - mostly
on cassettes - by Murder Release, Slaughter Productions and Old Europa
Cafe.

"Emperor's Return", the first Mortar CD album, was published by Fuoco (a
joint effort between Eibon Records and Amplexus) in 1998, while a
limited LP vinyl album entitled "From the Grave" was released by Oktagön
Records in 2000.

Two CD-R releases on Blade Records and Anaemic Waves Factory were also
published before the project was disbanded a few years later.

PRICE: 8 €


CAUL/KIRCHENKAMPF: SLEEP-NIGHT-DEATH, CD
(Malignant)
Two artists return to the Malignant roster, having teamed up to create
over 60 minutes of dark ambient solitude. A soundscape for late night
reflections, full of quiet, whispering drones, cosmic flutterings,
arching climatic tones and textures that ascend and descend in a
delicate interplay between beauty and bleak desolation. You know their
work as separate entities, find out what they do when brought together.

PRICE: 12 €


CHAOTICUM: [Psycho] Log: Y, CD
(Horus CyclicDaemon)
Weaving madness through electric sound and half-crazed vocals, this
first full-length release from CHAOTICUM unveils the initial peering
beyond the shroud of uncertainty into the gaping night, calling to mind
the powerful ritual works of COPH NIA, and the sublime melodies and
haunting atmosphere of THE UNQUIET VOID.

Never fearing to experiment with new ideas, CHAOTICUM fuses together a
plethora of dark genres, veering back and forth somewhere between order
and chaos, to craft this first foray out of the curse'd lies of the
light and into the black abyss of awareness. Will you make the journey?
Do you hope to return? Then listen and remember... for destruction is
the only true beginning, and stagnation the only death.

Included in the track list are two songs 'The Calling of Cthulhu' and
'Esoteric Order of Dagon', musickal scenes inspired by the mad writings
of H. P. Lovecraft, in addition to other break-through pieces and
favourites such as 'Ancient Hollow' and the neoclassical masterpiece
'Tykie-Soo'. So lie back, put on the headphones, and travel deep into
the swirling vortex of madness and sound, for CHAOTICUM is not to be
missed... or taken lightly.

Created to be "cultured" electronica, this first release by masters of
"nova et rara" CHAOTICUM will appeal to listeners of ritualistic dark
ambient, voyagers of haunting psychedelic mindscapes, and chaos
practitioners alike.

Comes in a very exclusive 500 limited-edition digipak, with artwork
designed by renowned artist John Coulthart on Rives Tradition 320g
paper; includes extra pocket with poster.

PRICE: 12 €


CISFINITUM: NEVMENOSIS, CD-R
(Afe Records)
"Nevmenosis" is a collection of tracks composed by Eugene Voronovsky
between 2001 and 2007 which were remastered by Andrea Marutti of Afe
Records on purpose of this release.

Some of them ("Dissolutio", "Moscow 30", "Galene" and "Oskolok") already
appeared on compilations published by Ewers Tonkunst, Monochrome Vision
and EE Tapes.

The long title track "Nevmenosis" and the shorter "Hermine" are
unreleased tracks which are published here for the first time.
Contributing members for these tracks were also E. Soloviev, Roman
Sidorov (Staruha Mha) and Richardas Norvila (Benzo).

Artwork for the album is based on pictures taken by Russian
photographer/artist Vespa_crabro and is a fine addition to the music.

COLLAPSAR: BEYOND THE EVENT HORIZON, CD
(Malignant)
Malignant presents another rising star within the dark ambient scene,
this time in the form of French act Collapsar. With their debut CD,
“Beyond The Event Horizon” Collapsar transports the listener on an epic
journey deep into the cosmos, forging a path across a vast, inky void,
and steering a course around a roiling galactic core of hyper-dense
stars and black holes. The sound is epic, expansive, and most of all,
HEAVY. There is beauty and tranquility within these realms, but there is
no light – just massive, pulsating textures coalescing into shimmering
drones, rippling sound waves, and billowing, multi-dimensional layers of
powerful dark energy. “Beyond the Event Horizon” is without question,
dark ambient in its purest form and one of the more genre defining
releases of the last several years. A must for fans of Inade, Lustmord
and the like. In 6 panel digipak, with design by ::: Eye.Lyft :::

PRICE: 12 €


DHUL QARNAYN: JILWAH, CD

Jilwah. Listenable only for those that are willing to meditate upon the
black book of Al-Jilwah, delving into the Ancient Eastern atmospheres.

FIRST LAW: TERRORFORMING, CD
(Loki)
The 6th full-length album of FIRST LAW is setting real moments of
artificial and creative substance. Intermittent bass and percussive
elements as well as thrilling sound structures arrange a wide aural
spectrum from ambient to drones through analogue modulations to complex
compositions with outstanding vocals on top. Conceptually don't get it
wrong, this album is not about religious airheads getting their way.
This is not about the threat terrorist attacks impose on any of us, nor
has it the intention to proliferate violence as a viable way to change
the status quo. At the least, as long your opinion stands against the
opinion of the majority, you are pretty much out of luck. No, this album
is about leverage; it is about deception and opportunity, by accident or
by design; it is about resignation and self-delusion; but most of all,
this album is about fear.

PRICE: 12 €


GYDJA: HELCHEMY, CD-R
(Afe Records)
Abby Helasdottir has been creating music since 1995 under the name Gydja
(an Old Norse word for "priestess"). Initially, the aim of the project
was to create music that could be used for magickal and shamanic purposes.

The current style of Gydja differs from the initial intentions of the
project, with music of both a mundane and magickal nature being created.
And whilst the music is usually linear and could be defined as a
soundscape, it is also not necessarily always dark ambient in style,
embracing electro-acoustic and experimental techniques.

Works designed specifically for magickal use sit alongside explorations
of sound for sound's sake; and in a third tier, some exploration of
sound contain magickal themes, even if there is no practical magickal
application intended.

Consisting of two long tracks and clocking at about fifty minutes,
"Helchemy" is Gydja's latest full-lenght work at the time of writing.
The album title is a portmanteau combining the name of Hela, Germanic
goddess of the dead, and the art of alchemy. As such, it considers the
way in which imagery associated with alchemy can be related to Hela,
particularly the motif of a venomous black toad that is found in many
alchemical tracts.

As an album concept, "Helchemy" is something that the author has
explored for several years, creating a version of the release based on
cassette experiments in the late nineties. Nothing of this version
appears in the current incarnation, but the themes which first initiated
the idea are there.

"Helchemy" comes in a beautiful and inspired artwork created by Gydja
herself.

PRICE: 8 €


HATI: KA, CD
(Eter)
Latest release by the great "trance-gong-drone" project from Torun,
Poland - a result of many experiences and evolving artistic landscapes.
The album was recorded traditionally - live in a natural acoustic
environment, using acoustic instruments and connecting remote industrial
echoes with elements of free improvisation and influences of drone /
minimal music. Hati's music is mined from the depths of the mysterious
and completely instrumental, knowingly using sound as a tool of
communication. Presented in a cruciform card envelope with black on
silver artwork. Highly recommended!

PRICE: 12 €


KRIMINAALISET METSÄNHALTIJAT: S/T, CD-R
(Triangle Records)
Raw old-school industrial on the bones of SPK and THROBBING GRISTLE
through the prism of Japanese harsh-noise and Finnish hardcore-punk.
Nihilistic nightmare. Diffused synth hiss, pretentious harsh-noise
arcades, crispy scurfy hateful power-electronics. Another spit into the
face of rotten society and shitty system. There were a few closed gigs.
Also, loads of recordings were made. Most of them have been destroyed.
Some parts of tapes full of piss and vinegar have just been lost or
erased during terrible hangovers. All that have been saved - works from
1997 and later. Those are sounds recorded on our 4-track. The sounds of
sick buzz in our heads. Torn apart sheets of iron and stone walls of
slaughterhouses spattered with blood. This is the shit rubbed in the
silk white sheets of modern industrial. This is the true old-school
noise! No modern bullshit and nazi crap! [KRIMINAALISET METSÄNHALTIJAT /

MIRKO UHLIG: SUPPER, CD-R
(Afe Records)
Mirko Uhlig (*1981 in Aachen, Germany) is a German musician and producer
in the contemporary field of drone and minimal ambient music, and
co-founder of Ex Ovo Records.

He first appeared with surreal sound collages and musique
concrète-techniques under the moniker Aalfang Mit Pferdekopf (catching
eels with a horse's head) around 2004.

After releasing four albums and some EPs (on Aal, Einzeleinheit, Taâlem,
Mystery Sea and Drone Records) Uhlig decided to release his now much
more minimalistic and serene works under a less delusive name.

Uhlig's music is inspired by pioneers of drone and minimalistic music
such as La Monte Young, early Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, David Lynch,
William Basinski and current Hafler Trio; echoing the blurred distance
of a late Turner painting.

PRICE: 8 €


ORDO ROSARIUS EQUILIBRIO: ONANI - PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, CD
(Cold Meat)
Imagine the force of countless orgasms focused into a single purpose, a
single vision made flesh- and you have Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio's 8th
full-length album: O N A N I - [Practice makes Perfect].

This release, two years in the making, inspired partly by la petit mort,
the little death achieved by one's own hands or by the hands of others
(as four hands please better than two) continues in the O.R.E. tradition
of opulent depravity and decadent beauty as an unrestrained aural and
aesthetic opus to the drives of man, sealed with apocalips kisses.

The music is in the ever-evolving sound of O.R.E., seductive and somber
– this time possibly with a more "pop" orientation, which makes the
songs all the more poignant. Lush guitars, pounding percussions, humming
organs and pianos, church choirs, subtle moans and female vocals by muse
and mistress Rose-Marie Larsen, and the added new element of a softly
throbbing drummachine creates the evocative, ravenous soundtrack. And
yet above all hovers the most dominant element- the stern and yet
alluring voice of the visionary behind O.R.E., Tomas Pettersson,
singing, speaking, inviting us to cum with him.

There is a sensible melancholy for what has been lost and for what will
never be, mixed with wanton visceral visions and fullfilment – carnal
love and hate, joy and grief. Tinged with subtle black humor, like a
movie of Tinto Brass put into a musical score – and there's even a song
in italian. All the dreamlike masturbatory images in the album-artwork
are derived from the lustrous and willing ranks of the Army of Roses and
Equilibrium, and yet this is not mere porn or cheap erotica, but divine
and infernal eroticism unrestrained. A fire of unhinged desire kindled
to a raging flame that ignites and consumes, and that in the end, we are
consumed by – the fire of life.

Sexual magic made manifest, or merely dandy decadence for the an erotic
eschatology, or both - you decide. And be that as it may, in the end,
this will leave you on the floor to plead and beg for more.

PRICE: 12 €


SUBINTERIOR: MESMERIZE, CD-R
(Afe Records)
"Mesmerize" is Andrea Freschi's fifth full-lenght work. Once again it
was created with almost no samples and keyboards as most of the sounds
included consists of field-recordings manipulated by computer technology
and softwares.

The result falls into the dark ambient / experimental musical territory,
althought the overall effect is aurally dynamic, as usually happens with
Subinterior's releases.

"Mesmerize" basically follows on from the previous Subinterior release,
"The Chrysalis Secret", showcasing his ability at creating deep and
obscure atmospheres without falling into cheap clichés.

The album spreads over five tracks and has a dense start with "The White
Space", which becomes more minimal and then is filled with mysterious
noises resembling an haunted aviary.

PRICE: 8 €


TERRA SANCTA: DISINTEGRATION, CD
(Malignant)
Four years after the release of the highly acclaimed Aeon CD,
Disintegration finds Australia?s Terra Sancta in fine form, having
delivered another sweeping, dark ambient epic. Expanding on the sounds
explored on his previous releases, Disintegration pushes the levels of
intensity to new heights, featuring four long and texturally turbulent
emissions of formidable power and depth. With it?s enormous washes of
stormy drones and billowing, multi-layered atmospheres, these are tracks
that grow and build to such a degree they seem to collapse and erode
under their own weight, strewing particles into a vast horizon and
creating a broad panorama of ever changing desert colored hues. A
completely enveloping and engulfing release, this is dark ambient on a
massive scale, something Terra Sancta seems to have a knack for creating
and something few do so well. Jewel box with 6 panel booklet, designed
by Vestigial.

Greetings All,

Ai Ma Ra – the new album by Arktau Eos – is available for immediate ordering.

Ai Ma Ra is a monumental album containing over 105 minutes of experimental
elemental and ambient music, original in the literal sense of the word. More
than music, it is 'ethnography of the unknown' in action, providing vistas into
rarely glimpsed corners of reality. Created primarily on acoustic instruments,
organs and harmonium, carefully mastered on vintage tape, the sound is equally
earthy as it is otherworldly – a contradiction in terms maybe, but then Ai Ma Ra
is not classified easily in any other respect either. It is a record in which to
immerse one’s self over time, containing more than two years' worth of strange
experiences and sensations distilled into a curious, potent elixir, the use of
which may in its truest sense be determined only by the individual listener.

Ai Ma Ra comes in a sturdy, deep green cardboard box stamped with the mark of
Arktau Eos. Contained within is an 8-page booklet bound in tête-bêche format on
high quality paper, a small talismanic print, and two CDs.

The price of the standard edition, pressed in 1.000 copies, is set at 15 euros
or plus postage; payment options include EU bank transfer and Paypal (Note: if
you pay via Paypal we have to charge 5% for Paypal fees).

Price (within European Union) 18 € (1st class airmail included).
Price (other countries) 18 € (1st class airmail included).
Hinta Suomen sisällä 16 € (sisältää postimaksut).

As for the special editions, there are two, both strictly limited to twelve
copies (one for each song):

The Cryptomphalos Edition, given gratis to friends and close associates.

The Astrolith Edition, for trade only.

In addition to the standard edition, both special editions contain an assortment
of power-objects and artwork, the exact nature of which may differ between
individual copies.

A number of times we have seen people line up for special editions only for
financial gain thru re-sale: this is disheartening due to the time and effort
spent in preparation of items we do our best to infuse with value quite outside
any monetary concerns whatsoever. On the other hand, we have rejoiced in the
many unusual responses to our work from many an unexpected quarter.

Therefore, as an experiment, we have decided on the following:

Should you be desirous of acquiring a copy of The Astrolith Edition, we ask you
something in exchange: be it items, preferably in two copies, to be set up on
altars, sacrificed, or perhaps to be included directly in the future work of
Arktau Eos. Something else? No guidelines, no limits. Just no money. Send your
offer to al-runa [at] helixes [dot] org before Autumn Equinox with 'Astrolith
Edition' as the subject line. All twelve copies will be signed to the recipient
only, and your acceptance of the album signifies your understanding of being
honour-bound not to sell it further – if it becomes obsolete, we ask you to
destroy your copy.

Let's see how it goes.

AVSKY: SILENT DECAY, CD
(Reverse Alignment)
Excellent newcomer in Norwegian dark ambient. Silent Decay carries all
the sonic trademarks of quality dark ambient (see the Cyclic Law label
for example), but besides that Avsky adds a certain personal twist to
the compositions that serves to make him stand out from the 'generic
mass' of dark ambience.

PRICE: 9 €


CLOAMA + BLUTLEUCHTE, CD
(Anima Arctica)
These are the memoirs of the unseen heartbeats felt nearby, the
whispered ambiguous dialogues with the beings beyond our history books
and common understanding. The sound captured here is an echo of two
great minds clashing at those awkward moments when long and exhausting
research of multi-layered existence is rewarded by finding a new lock to
the set of keys given from the vast skies. Originally released in CDR
format by New Old Sentinel, this extremely profound piece of intensive
industrial ambient is now presented in actual CD format with 12-paged
booklet and new graphical design.

PRICE: 11 €


CREST: CREST 218/NOVA STEREOMETRIA DOLIORUM VINARIORUM, 2XCDR
(Reverse Alignment)
  From the dark, noisey pits of Partille comes this rough double album
from Crest. Second after the two year old crustburst " Kajaani, Sotkamo,
Perkele!", on PAS-83 productions, this excellent album sees the day of
light. Here you´ll find a package full of intense analogue
powerstructures and noncompromising attitude that makes your industrial

PRICE: 10 €


CYCLOTIMIA: MUSIC FOR STOCKMARKETS, CD
(Zhelezobeton)
Cyclotimia is most probably the only project in the world which has
chosen the creation of a soundtrack to "globalisation" and life of the
"consumer society" as their concept. The project members more than
anyone else are immersed into the magic of finance and probably
therefore has their creative intuition allowed them to compose the main
part of "Music for Stockmarkets" with its unforgivingly precise name
"Wallstreet Requiem". Today the whole civilised world is listening to
this requiem the first cords of which were played on Wall Street itself.
The "Music for Stockmarkets" album with its radically experimental
nature stands out in the extensive discography of this Moscow project.
The 64-minute album includes 32 tracks divided into three conceptual
parts: "Wallstreet Requiem" (25 minutes, recorded in 2004-2007),
"Trivial Pleasures" (26 minutes, recorded in 2002, this part was the
only one released as a seperate CD in 2003) and "Financial Glossary" (13
minutes, recorded in 2003).

The music material itself is nothing like the one heard in the previous
records of Cyclotimia. There is no apocalyptic soundscapes of
"Wasteland" times, no cybernetic hi-tech and media madness of
"E$chaton", no cosmic downtempo of "Celestis: Space Ceremonial Music"...
Minimalism, academic sterility, surgical accuracy and meditative ataraxy
prevail on "Music for Stockmarkets". Then again it is not the familiar
"idm", "glitch", "noise", "clicks and cuts" and not "minimal techno"...
The sound of the album is chrystal-clear and warm at the same time.
"Vintage" lovers have a wonderful chance to listen to the masterpieces
of Soviet music production (such as Rhythm 1, Rhythm 2, Aelita, Formanta
UDS, Formanta EMS-01, Polyvox) in pure sound, unprocessed by effects.

PRICE: 10 €


DEADWOOD: RAMBLACK, CD
(Cold Spring)
“Ramblack" is the follow up to Deadwood's successful 2005 album "8 19"
(CSR53CD). Over the past 3 years this Swedish artist has been toiling
away, creating a new black ambient / death noise masterpiece and
"Ramblack" is the result. Cloaked in a more raw and morbid sound then
its predecessor, this album truly changes one's perspective of audial
darkness. This analogue beast of an album layers the tonal prayers of
demons and the distorted cries of angels, sickness and depravity. True
Death Electronics. The soundtrack to your end. "Ramblack" features guest
vocals from Norwegian Black Metal legend Maniac (Skitliv, ex-Mayhem),
whose vocal approach on the song 'Forakt' shows the full range of his
capacity. Truly one of the most sick and twisted pieces of sonic art
ever recorded. Enjoy the disease!

PRICE: 12 €


ENDURA: BLACK EDEN, CD
(Red Stream)
The sinister music of Endura has gathered appreciation from an
increasingly diverse audience who appreciate that burgeoning movement of
individuals and bands using electronics to sculpt a music that has been
called Dark ambient. [Red Stream]

PRICE: 10 €


HEBOSAGIL: COLOSSAL, CD
(Kaos Kontrol)
Colossal is the word that is bludgeoned into your mind when Hebosagil's
debut album forces itself out of your speakers and 43 minutes later you
know you have experienced something colossal. This five-piece from
Northern Finland boldly mold their colossus from diverse influences and
elements, their approach ranging from slow, crushing doom to violent
hardcore bursts and riff-heavy sludge, all forced through unhealthy
doses of distortion and performed with fiercely rocking energy.
"Colossal" includes 7 tracks perfectly showcasing Hebosagil's varied and
uncompromising style, but most importantly everything has been tied
together with excellent sense of songwriting and dynamics, complemented
by the crushing production.
Will cause vibrations to fans of Electric Wizard, Sourvein, Godflesh,
Autopsy, Eyehategod, Entombed and Motörhead.

Limited edition of 1000 copies.

PRICE: 12 €


HUMAN LARVAE: HOME IS WHERE THE HURT IS, CD
(Existence Establishment)
Introducing the debut full-length of this new Dresden based heavy
industrial/power electronics unit following his 3 inch CDR on Silken
Tofu. Taking cues from styles as diverse as the cinematic Navicon
Torture Technologies and grungy lo-fi ...Today I'm Dead, Human Larvae
delivers an emotional torrent of self-destructive force with "Home is
Where the Hurt Is". Spanning a running time of over an hour, styles
range from rhythmic orchestral industrial to bleak passages of black
noise with a good dosage of throbbing feedback and scathing vocals.
There is some sick twisted narrative to be found here but the search for
these mysterious happenings will bring you to places you may never
return from.
Each copy hand numbered and assembled. Pro-pressed CD limited to 500
copies.

PRICE: 12 €


HYPNOZ: BREATH OF EARTH, CD
(Zhelezobeton)
Hypnoz is a project of Dmitry Zubov, a musician from Moscow suburb
Fryazino, the town that endowed the lovers of post-industrial music with
such names as Hum and Staruha Mha. His first composition was recorded in
1993, and during its existence Hypnoz has released one CD on the Moscow
label Insofar Vapour Bulk, which gathered tracks from different periods,
a couple of very limited CD-Rs, and participated on the compilation
"Iznutri" by the Ewers Tonkunst label with a fragment of a composition
from this album. Aside from Hypnoz Dmitry plays in several other
projects: Zuboff Sex Shop (post-punk / new-wave), Circle Of Iron Tape
(harsh noise), BRZB (electronics, with Alexey Borisov), etc. The basis
of most of the tracks for "Breath of Earth" was recorded by Dmitry
together with Evgeny Voronovsky (Cisfinitum) during their joint night
psychedelic sessions, and this is evidently felt in their mood.
Stylistically this can be called tranquil electronic ambient with a
remarkable experimental touch – but who thinks about it while recording?
Slowly twisting sound helixes, drawing inside the astral subspaces,
pulsating rhythms, cosmic sounds of old analogue synthesizers, – all
this produces an appropriate effect on the listener's mind, and there's
nothing more to demand from music.

SINK: THE PROCESS, CD
(Kaos Kontrol)
There is obscure and then there is Obscure. The difference is subtle,
but when you hear Sink, you know the limit between obscure and Obscure
has been surpassed. The Process is a beast that drags you below the
surface and lets you gasp for air just enough to keep conscious and
experience the horror. Monumental wall of sound built from demented
vibrations, violent distortion, wailing feedback, reverberating clashes
and almost choral (in)human voices echoing in your mind like amplified
painful memories; and when the wall collapses, the undertow pulls you
deeper into paranoid and disturbing surroundings filled with static
drones, scorching electrical trills and gravely impressive Obscurity
that defies mental health. You may never reach back to the surface… This
is not a sludge record. This is not a drone record. This is not an
experimental record. This is The Process.
Released in co-operation by Kult of Nihilow and Kaos Kontrol. CD comes
in special fold-out full colour carton sleeve.

Limited edition of 1000 copies.

ATRIUM CARCERI: SOUYUAN, CD
(Cold Meat)
3 years in the making, Atrium Carceri is back with another visceral
masterpiece entitled Souyuan. After careful psychological observeration
of test listeners, Simon Heath has done it again - renewing the genre
through careful planning and painstaking attention to each fragment and
detail, however minute. With fresh atmospheres, and a depth previously
unfathomable, Souyuan will amaze initiates and pundits alike with its
complexity and pureness of form. Never before has the artists innermost
recesses been so sublimely conveyed to any medium.

Simon, born in 1977, started producing when he early on played around
with his Amiga and a microphone. In the years that have followed, Simon
got involved in numerous projects and developed his knowledge and
skills. During the process and through the years, he has been part of
writing 16 albums and additionally many other tracks on compilations and
other albums, released under various names, touching a broad range of
ambient, dub, IDM, psy, folk, medieval, classical and black ambient.
Simon is known for having reached a very high level both in story
telling and production technique.

Atrium Carceri has been praised by music critics and embraced by a cult
audience for its depth of atmosphere. As described by one reviewer,
"Heath creates a world where time collapses, where the ancient world of
conjured spirits, the physical limitations of being all too human, and
the infinite outreach of potential futuretech, all coexist.

questions, than it poses answers.

So what is it?
The Dark Illuminati - The Dark Enlightened....
A global elite attempting to enforce a world government?
An organization controlling world affairs?
The New World Order?
Or a Secret Few, merely seeking to preserve the Dark Light....?

Well... The Stage is set.

hemisphere of the brain. due to intensive support of the left side of
the brain over the last millenniums the human mind has progressed its
ability to communicate verbally, to think logically and in a practical
way, to behave in a linear and systematic way. this was the basic
advantage which became, as a cynic would say, the "crown" of the
creation of the human race. the right hemisphere of our brains, which is
processing in a non-reducing, holistic way, is responsible for
non-verbal, spatial thinking, for visualisation, intuition and emotions,
and for music and atmospheric perception / cognition ! the abilities of
our right hemisphere have been heavily suppressed in the past
millenniums by the dominance of the left hemisphere of the brain .
science proves that the human brain works on the best level when both
hemispheres are stimulated with the same intensity. maeror. tri [...]
support the theory that it is necessary to stimulate and challenge the
right hemisphere in order to get back to a state of equal activity of
the two sides of the brain. the activity of the right brain can be
increased through exercises and stimulation. listen, feel & realize!”

MAURIZIO BIANCHI & TELEPHERIQUE: THE HOUSE OF MOURNING, CD
(Radiotarab)
The House Of Mourning" is that purifier building in which there's deep
sorrow and disheartened grief due to the lack of our beloved ones...
when someone is paying a condolence visiting that house of affliction,
he is reminded of his own inexorable mortality. to consider our
existence in the gloomy house of mourning, ultimately and invariably
culminating in death, gives us a healthy, balanced view of our fragile
life. some time spent with the sadness or grieving, helps us appreciate
the simple things in our troubled condition. This is not the easiest
lesson to learn, but it is a necessary one because when we give sober
thought to serious matters it brings good benefits later, when life
seems resolutely distressing and ostinately depressing. In the end, "The
House Of Mourning" is the common admonition to our foolish arrogance.

MEDUSA'S SPELL: LAST X HOURS, CD
(Cold Meat)
The Italian duo Medusa’s Spell is back with their second album after the
“Mercurial Behaviour” released on Cold Meat in 2006. “Last X hours”is
also a conceptual album, this time following the ten last tragic hours
of a woman who stands accused for witchery. Ten songs, each representing
one hour of her last ten in life, from the moments of the trial, - when
her body is completely exhausted from pain - until her mind resigned to
her fate of death. The lyrics of the first and the last song is a curse!
- the true words spoken by a woman falsely accused of witchery and
condemned to death in 1428. The witch of Medusa’s Spell is however a
symbolic woman representing all women condemned as witches. By infernal
torments and torture her mind and tongue slowly converts to the
Devil…and her voice becomes finally the voice of the Devil. Medusa’s
Spell has again created a genuine accoustic ritual dark-folk concept.

ultimate new album of MZ.412, nothing but pure bombastic evil manifested
in explicit sounds; and it is terrifyingly beautiful! As always, based
on the dark arts, the sound is classic MZ.412 taken to the extreme and
beyond.
Whatever dark fetishism you're into, it's all here; from abysmal ambient
parts, heavy pounding industrial dance hits, to grand orchestral
maneuvers. The Swedish Legion returns to dominate the scene once again,

all about.... After inventing the style that degenerated an entire genre
in the early 90´s, they show once again that they are here to lead the
way for future generations....

powerful! No, we're not here to convince you - We're telling you!

20.SV: APOCALYPTIC DESERT, CD
(Autumn Wind)
20.SV reinvented the standards of extreme music with “Acid Vomit.Human
Genocide” and “Insects”. Now, with “Apocalyptic Desert”, 20.SV blasts
tsunamis of radioactive sand unto the modern world setting a complete
new interpretation of sound and music at its most extreme levels. You
may call it harsh stuff or the work of a lunatic but we simply call it
the best thing that's happened to extreme music. The moaning of the
world disfigured and scarred from the hand of its host....the drone of
the transformation into a desert filled with radiative debris and the
realization and birth of a new destructive presence....a new frequency
that will disable the human mind and breed a new essence...the birth of
an apocalyptic begining.

EIDVLON: IDOLATRIAE, CD
(Malignant)
With the release of Eidulon’s debut CD Idolatriae, we at Malignant are
pleased to welcome another new project into the cozy confines of our
slowly expanding roster. 7 tracks of ultra bleak, abstract atmospheres,
with sounds and textures that seem to seep from catacomb walls and come
slithering out of subterranean chambers. Certainly, this can be
classified as a dark ambient record, but at it’s core, it’s more than
just that simple classification. There’s a gritty, more jagged edge
here, with tetonic shifts, deep rumblings, and crackling, climatic
squalls buried under a bed of ghostly reverb and haunting tonal
resonance. Fits in nicely with past Malignant releases such as R|A|A|N's
'The Nacrasti', Heid's 'Arktogaa', and even Caul's 'Crucible' CD. In
elegant 6 panel digipak, with stark black and white, carefully arranged
illustrations inspired by Taschism and Spatial art. From gothtronic.com:
"I am deeply impressed by this release, seven tracks of the finest dark
ambient recommended tor all people who like this kind of music. This is
pure beauty with great atmospheres making you dream away to the furthest
regions, to places were no man has ever put his feet.

hallways littered with the bones of fear. These are the lost relics and
newly created moans of EMIT. The wind is warm on my skin....like the
breath of a beast I cannot see... Comes with a gloss covered 8-page
booklet, limited to 1,000 copies.

DVD case with an insert that folds out into a ouija board.

PRICE: 10 €


EYELESS IN GAZA: SUMMER SALT & SUBWAY SUN, CD
(Ambivalent Scale)
"Originally, the intention was to put together a double album, centering
around an “escalated excitement with the idea of cities as new, blank
texts – contrasted with the kind of sense of alienation and loss evoked
in such works as J.G. Ballard’s Concrete Island.” The completed Summer
Salt & Subway Sun works as a kind of survival or synthesis of these
ideas – and also as an illustration of Eyeless In Gaza as ‘studio
animal’, contrasted with their (newly re-discovered) life as a regularly
gigging band. (– The band has been off the road since the late 80’s, but
have recently gigged in Bruxelles, London, and Athens – with forthcoming
gigs in Italy, Iceland and the U.S.). The album thus neatly encapsulates
two key aspects of the music Eyeless in Gaza are presently creating –
offering a balance of atmos/acoustic material and sprawling,
rhythmic/semi-improvised spidery electric pieces. This has resulted in a
heady blend of song based material juxtaposed with a distinctive brand
of kaleidosco pic, “cityscaping” filmic musics. Perhaps unsurprisingly,
it is the latter, primarily instrumental pieces which gleefully reflect
the band’s recent activity in cinema – in Patrice Chereau’s
controversial Intimacy, and Jim Jarmusch collaborator Glen McQuaid’s
poetic, sub Hammer short, The Resurrection Apprentice. After the
plaudits attributed to the 25th Anniversary release of No Noise
compilation (“They were one of the great bands that emerged (from the)
post punk (period)” – Alan McGee) Eyeless In Gaza continue to display a
characteristic “fierce independence” of style and attitude – with the
release of Summer Salt & Subway Sun, issued via the band’s own A-Scale
label...." [website info]

HERBST9: THE GODS ARE SMALL BIRDS, BUT I AM THE FALCON, CD
(Loki Foundation)
The all new album of Herbst9 is a step further into the depths of the
Assyrian and Asian mythologies, using authentic audio and visual
fragments of sacrifices, lamentations, prayers and ancient rituals. The
result is a deep labyrinth of sounds with meditative percussions,
ghostly vocal fragments and singings which melts with detailed and
multi-layered tones of various traditional instruments. All this is
constructed around a core of dark and ongoing floating drones creating
an atmosphere of true archaic music which has been developed by Herbst9
to perfection. This soundtrack is the secrecy from the deep and hidden
places of the sacred earth transcending us beyond the real world to the
inner realm of ourselves.

The CD is presented in 6-panel digipack.

PRICE: 12 €


HUM: FLESH OF THE SOUL, CD
(QUAG twenty two)
"Finally, after the numerous CDRs and one 7” on Drone Records, this is
the first factory-pressed CD of this brilliant drone-ambient project.
“Flesh Of The Soul”, which is definitely one of the best works Dmitry
Chistov has ever done, is a real masterpiece of cold transcendental
soundscapes. The album is filled with majestic melancholy, it is clear
and soothing, there’s a plenty of veiled melodies and celestial
harmonies hidden inside its simple sound structures. It sounds a bit
nostalgic cause Dmitry uses only old-fashioned tape-technique and
analogue synth loops, utilizing digital devices just for the final
mastering, but the atmosphere is very special, reminding of early Zoviet
France, Maeror Tri, Tesendalo or Aidan Baker. It could seem very
peaceful and calm, but beyond this bright and peaceful surface the
sorrow and darkness is hidden. The beauty of this music is enchanting
and it is hard to resist its magical spells, so it might be difficult to
fight the desire to play this album over and over in yearning to
experience again the tender touch of this unearthly Flesh Of The Soul.
The album is limited to 300 copies and comes in special package printed
silver on black. Very recommended!" [press release / Indiestate]

NERONOIA: IL RUMORE DELLE COSE, CD
(Eibon)
The new album from Neronoia, the project featuring members of Canaan and
Collaquio. What we see. What we do. Everything leaves a trace,
somewhere. Everything has a meaning. Things have a soul. Things exist
way beyond our reach. Things speak, live and die. Things speak in their
own language, and make noise. A noise that only trained ears can
understand. Neronoia keeps on being nothing. But a very important
nothing. Jewel box.

NOISE-MAKER'S FIFES: ZONA INCERTA, 10"
(Substantia Innominata)
“NOISE-MAKER’S FIFES is an experimental performance group from Brussels
who do impressive shows with many selfbuild instruments and surrealistic
sound-theatre-choreographies. The first side on “Zona Incerta” is based
on the choreography “Dyonisos’ Last Day” from 2003 and uses various
live-material from this and other different performances. The second
side is created from insects field recordings made in Kenya. ZONA
INCERTA builds a very dimension of its own, totally hazy and foggy
sounds ebb and flow in and out...water and metal-sounds are recognizable
in the sound-field, high insect-frequencies intertwine with all kinds of
strange noises and animal sounds... The Unknown is also the world of
other creatures who perceive a totally different world. Listen with new
ears, with different neurons.” [press release]

PRICE: 11 €


PHRAGMENTS: EARTH SHALL NOT COVER THEIR BLOOD, CD
(Malignant)
You’ve seen it before. Certain bands or artists delivering their finest
work with their first recording. Then, in futile attempts to capture
some of the same magic, becoming formulaic and stale, rehashing ideas
and never really achieving the same caliber of work. Others, expanding
on the elements of their prior releases, and through a natural
maturation process, get stronger with each release. That would certainly
be the case with Phragments. With their third full length studio CD,
this Slovakian duo have made remarkable strides not only in quality but
in scope. Equipped with an enriched sonic palate, Earth Shall Not Cover
Their Blood mixes forceful brass and dark orchestral strings with rolls
of powerful tribal percussion, somber wind instrumentation, ominous
atmospheres, industrial clangor, and a strong and commanding vocal
presence, particularly on tracks like “Over Deadlands” and “The Kin of
Cain”. Cohesive, complete, and epic, this is a release that will open
some eyes to new found authority of Phragments. Yours to discover.

PRICE: 12 €


RLW: CONTOURS IMAGINAIRES, 10"
(Substantia Innominata)
"After a break SUBSTANTIA INNOMINATA is back with a terrific 3-track 10"
by the prolific german composer RLW (who started his activities back in
the early 80's and was the main member of the legendary german
experimental outfit P16.D4). The full title is: CONTOURS IMAGINAIRES.
The whole composition is based on only few seconds of piano-sounds and
vocals (the rest is "imagination") and the track-titles & pieces offer
strong inter-relations in a complex way. The used sounds develop through
imagination & decay ("denaturing transformations") and appear in the
pieces with different emphases. The "classical" piano-sounds and its
highly processed permutations are set in contrast with the highly
emotional voice-material, like entering a convoluted labyrinth of
voice-frazzles, drones & fragmented strange sounds...... Being on a
microlevel ("phantasized cell"), judging the decay of shadows. Are these
the memories of single cells? The shadow of abrasion-processes? The slow
decay of imaginations? A fantastic work where conceptual thoughts and
emotionally driven acoustics merge in a perfect way.

STROM.EC: DIVINE LEGIONS BEYOND PSYCHE, CD

and stretching the boundary of the genre, sculpting new and innovative
creations that are uniquely their own. Having been under construction
for over seven years , Divine Legions shows STROM.ec with a majestic
control of their craft, offering 8 tracks (including one 21 minute epic
to close the CD out!) of powerful and explosive industrial music, full
of volatile frequencies, brain bending, enigmatic atmospheres,
hallucinatory noise, and the trademark vocal assault that few acts can
rival. Presented in a luxurious 8-panel DVDigipak, designed by Jerome
Nougaillon, Divine Legions Beyond Psyche represents STROM.ec at their
finest, most creative form, having reached a pinnacle in an already
illustrious discography..

THE HUMAN VOICE: EXIT LINES, CD
(Eibon)
NORTHAUNT mastermind Harleif Langas gives voice to a less dark and
oppressive journey with "Exit lines", and explores the thin boundary
between ambient (not necessarily dark....) music and spacious post-rock.
Deep drones and sparse melodic guitar lines, "skeletal" structures and
subtle noises. Appealing to both the Constellation-freaks and the
courageous (and open minded) dark ambient travellers. Digisleeve

UR: TRIEB, CD
(Topheth Prophet)
Ur was born from the collaboration between Federico Esposito and Mauro
Sciaccaluga, both hailing from the hardcore-punk scene and from bands
like Heartside (F.E.), Never Was, Downright, Kafka, Stalker (M.S.). The
two joined in 2003 to work on F.E.’s industrial solo-project (a.k.a. Den
LXV) live set, later they decided to collaborate and improvise together
to create a new entity. Andrea Ferraris joined the band in the early
days of 2005, contributing to define further on the sonic identity of
the combo. A.F. is well known for having played and recorded with
different bands ranging from hardcore to indie-post rock to experimental
music (Airchamber3, Deep End, Burning Defeat, Permanent Scar,
Onefineday, Ultraviolet Make Me Sick, Permanent Scar, etc…). Ur music is
mostly based on improvisation that usually starts with drones or samples
(with no pre-definite structure), to which they superimpose layers of
electro-acoustic noisescapes coming from objects, field recordings,
analog and traditi onal instruments processed using a load of pedals and
effects. The sound ends painting a solid, harsh and dramatic industrial
lounge where archaic instincts and modern obsessions meet. To use the
words of a sound engineer after one of their live sets: “…it all sounds
like early Pink Floyd on acid...on muriatic acid”. [label info]

AERE AETERNUS: HUMANITY NEEDS NO FUNERAL, CD
(Kaosthetik)
"When Dark Ambient meets Industrial Deviance". CD version contains a
explicit video clip released by Baron Saturne

"Humanity Needs No Funeral", the first full-length album from AERE
AETERNUS, was released on the French label Kaosthetik. With a
multi-national and eclectic lineup, the band comprises Alex (MACABRE
OMEN, THE ONE, RAZOR OF OCCAM), Claudio Alcara (FROSTMOON ECLIPSE,
STROSZEK), Cyr (DARK SANCTUARY, ELKTRONIK SCIETY) and Radu. Drawing on
the wide range and considerable musical experience of its members, AERE
AETERNUS creates a dark, disturbing atmosphere that probably best fits
within the ambient and minimalist genres, and which the band themselves
describe as "half misanthropic ritual and half sex ritual."

The dominant atmosphere combines a sense of impending insanity with
sexual deviancy and a large dollop of occultism, creating a dark and
troubling misanthropic sojourn that is relatively unique. The final
track is probably the most musical, as it is centred on a guitar
arpeggio, but no such concessions to convention are present elsewhere on
this deeply troubling disk. The accompanying video of "Invocation" shows
a Satanic ritual in all its kitchsy glory. Recommended for those looking
for something a darker than the usual entities. 7.5/10

BABYLONE CHAOS / LAMBWOOL / LE DIKTAT: SHI, CD
(OPN)
The object you are holding in your hands is special in many respects.
The product of a collaboration between three artists with a divergent,
and indeed sometimes opposed, approach of music, this work plainly
demonstrates how their musical universes ultimately complement each
other along three axes – noise, rhythm and melody.

The melodies are provided by Lambwool. A talented musician adept at
creating musical landscapes fraught with melancholy, he colours the
record with layers of keyboards and acoustic instruments samples that
conjure up the crystalline, meditative melodies he has become renowned for.

Babylone Chaos has long been an avid proponent of chaotic, oppressing
climates and deals in suffocation and saturation. The nefarious vapours
of his distorted, out-of-joint universe bring a great measure of entropy
to this opus.

Le Diktat is the only duo involved in this three party collaboration. Le
Diktat brings the rhythm to the table. Break-core loops, drum n’bass
rhythm patterns, trip-hop, electro and rock elements coupled with
scratches create the most unexpected stylistic fusions, even on the most
haunting instrumental tracks of this album. The result is a surprising
collision between acoustic purity and punishing industrial beats, but a
remarkably daring demonstration.

Jembes, flutes, scratches, harp, piano, samples; intense episodes or
long, meditative soundscapes; sometimes quiet, sometimes heavy with
saturation, this work of contrasts displays a thousand faces, takes a
thousand forms which will not fail attract any and all who would take a
musical journey in unchartered territories. The soundtrack to the End
Times!

BRIGHTER DEATH NOW: NECROSE EVANGELICUM, 2CD
(Cold Meat)
Recorded during 1995 – that most creative of years for Brighter Death
Now, which also produced the much harsher album Innerwar, as well as the
final part of the epic “Great Death” trilogy – Necrose Evangelicum was
immediately received as a new milestone in the genre of
“sacred-death-industrial.” In fact, the album had the most favorable
reception of any BDN record, and has generally been considered the most
easily accessible of BDN’s work.

This groundbreaking album is nothing short of a sacred death-machine
that relentlessly works itself into the mind with a most obtrusive, and
almost dangerous, insistence. This review from 1996 says it all:

“This is music created from a place beyond all imaginable Hells... a
place that exists only deep within the macabre mind of its creator,
Roger Karmanik. A CD of such impenetrable darkness, as if the entire
world had collapsed into itself! Where the inspiration has been drawn
from for these recordings can only be speculated, but suffice it to say,
it's not a place one would like to spend eternity! Tormented voices
announce the birth of some unspeakable horror, while heavily metallic,
grinding electronics shudder like the last gasps of a dying machine.
Together, they form a vision so bleak and ghastly it purges both the
mind and soul of everything but the most impure of thoughts. Leave all
notions of decency at the entranceway, for they are not wanted nor
needed here. Only in the final title track, featuring the despondent
orchestrations of Mortiis, will you find solace, but even that is a
harbour deemed unsafe.”

And yet, as a Brighter Death Now record, we still insist that it is
“easy listening”…

In order to once more make this groundbreaking album available, we have
gone back and digitally restored, remastered and remixed the tracks to
give them the facelift they so richly deserve. This new edition of
Necrose Evangelicum is presented in a beautiful foilprinted digipak
together with a “live” CD recorded during the same era. Actually the
“live” CD is the recording of a rehearsal for a concert in Vaasa,
Finland, which ended up never taking place! The permission of the
organizers ran out, and the evening came to an end, before BDN had an
opportunity to take the stage.

Darkishly served in a gold-foilprinted digipak!

instrumental variations of musicians move the imagination and bring

reflection of some inner strenght, that tries to break free and
whispering calm the spirit.

industrial elements. Varied album depicting early Cold Meat sounds
combined with what the best od Coil's "Musick to Play in the Dark”.

Greetings All,

** Aural Hypnox News (29.10.2008)

Out Now: Halo Manash: Am Kha Astrie, CD

As the apex of Spring heralds awakenings, Halo Manash emerges from
Winter and hibernation ~ Treefaced. Horns spiral skyward and antlers
ascend. A tripartite trunk arises – a pillar that splits all worlds.

Am Kha Astrie, a work of heliotropic, elemental ambient, is an opening,
an awakening, a summoning, a crossing of thresholds. After their
previous oneiric and minimal album, Am Kha Astrie sees Halo Manash
re-integrate a more diverse instrumentation and a multiplicity of
soundsources to create their work, which consists of seven interrelated
tracks. Am Kha Astrie is a complete work in itself, but can also be
viewed as the second facet of a tripartite series of works that are part
of one holistic creation.

Archaic elemental drums, bones and spiraling animal horns merge with
various metal percussions, chimes, wind-instruments, voices and a
multitude of other instruments to create a deep, earthly and yet
celestially-bound opus. Am Kha Astrie is a massive and sometimes ominous
work, a primal experience of coming-into-being, with all the terror,
ecstasy and divine awe that it implies.

Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet, in an edition of 1000 copies.

Price (within European Union) 15 € (1st class airmail included).
Price (other countries) 17 € (1st class airmail included).
Hinta Suomen sisällä 13 € (sisältää postimaksut).

Payment via EU bank transfer, cash in letter or Paypal (Note: if you pay
via Paypal we have to charge 5% for Paypal fees).

(Threshold House)
...and the ambulance died in his arms is a recording of Coil's
performance at All Tomorrows Parties at Camber Sands in Spring 2003, and

BLOOD AXIS: BLOT: SACRIFICE IN SWEDEN, CD
(Cold Meat)
In November 1997, Blood Axis was invited to fly to Sweden and present a
special live performance for the Cold Meat Industry 10th Anniversary
Feast. The show was recorded on digital multi-track directly from the
mixing board, and the resulting tapes were brought back to USA and
re-mixed and re-processed by Blood Axis temselves for an exceptional
result: a crystalline and intense summoning of everything from haunting
heathen mantras to electronic aggression, traditional European melodies
to crushing bombastic anthems.

PRICE: 12 €


DESIDERII MARGINIS: SEVEN SORROWS, CD
(Cold Meat)
Seven Sorrows is the sixth album by the renowned swedish dark-ambient
project Desiderii Marginis, and a most eagerly awaited follower to the
highly acclaimed album of 2005, That Which Is Tragic And Timeless. With
the material on Seven Sorrows Johan Levin, the mind behind Desiderii
Marginis, has dug deeper than ever before within the creative depths and
so ventures even further into the darklands of dispair and solitude,
deeper into the vibrant shadows of the human mind. Since the very debute
in 1993, Desiderii Marginis has, with every new offering, refined and
reinvented the trademark sound, and this release is no exception to the
rule. Strummed guitars and dulcimers blend seamlessly with soaring
strings, raging drones, the sound of twisted metal and spoken word.
Diverse sources, yet tamed to an intriguing and alluring whole that
slowly spin it’s web around the helpless listener and drags them into
the vortex of dreamlike darkness.

First 2000 copies in a 6-panel digipak, artwork photos taken by the
exceptional photographer Birthe Klementowski.

PRICE: 12 €


DEUTSCH NEPAL: DYSTOPIAN PARTYCOLLECTION, CD
(Cold Meat)
Deutsch Nepals Dystopian Partycollection contain previously released
material from compilations and limited edited vinyls. It is not to be
seen as a major release from Deutsch Nepal but a small shop of horrors
where everyone could shoplift whenever in the spirit. Quality and
atmosphere is different from track to track as there is no theme or
secret path to follow on this album - It's plain Deutsch Nepal - Just as
we love it! So just C´mon get naked... remember nude improvised dancing
is not only for fun it´s also for free!

This is Deutsch Nepals Dystopian Partycollection to be followed by many
more sad experiences in your poor and empty lives... [Label info]

PRICE: 12 €


ENCOMIAST: BATHED IN SUNLIGHT, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
Bathed In Sunlight is the breatakingly beautiful new full length from
the longrunning Denver drone ensemble Encomiast, featuring five lengthy
tracks of instrumental bliss from Ross Hagen and company that bring
together slowly drifting drones speckled with shifting layers of angelic
female vocal harmonies, lilting Loveless-esque melodies, ominous
ambience floating over simple hand drum rhythms, dramatic dark pop with
strummed acoustic guitars and Ross' deep crooning vocals...and more of
the ghostly flute playing that has always set Encomiast apart from the
rest of the drone/ambient underground. Fans of Encomiast's previous
releases are going to be surprised when they hear songs like "Laughter
In The Storm" , whose droning psychedelic folk is unlike anything that
Ross has done before, a thoroughly entracing combination of droning
electronics and brooding acoustic strum. And then there's the stunning
finale "Evergreen", opening with gently acoustic guitar swimming in
delay before a gorgeous female voice enters
under a slight veil of distortion, like she's singing from the other end
of a long distance phone call, the distortion then lifting revealing her
voice in perfect clarity. A simple but perfect effect. The melody in
this song is likewise simple but perfect, a melancholy hook that is
gradually joined by drums and electronic drones as the song evolves,
turning into a amazing piece of dreamy ambient post-rock pop. Fans of
Encomiast's previous droneworks and the kind of evocative ambient rock
that Temporary Residence is known for will LOVE Bathed In Sunlight,
which travels the luminescent ley lines between ambient dronescapes,
folk music, and post-rock.

PRICE: 8 €


FISTULA: LESSONS IN LAMENTATION, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
At some point last year, the members of Fistula met up with another
Ohioan, Steve Makita from the midwest power-violence legends Apartment
213, midwest power-tool noise legends Lockweld, and current second
throat for Agoraphobic Nosebleed. At some point, both of these parties
decided that joining forces would be a good move and had Makita lug over
his toolbox to the Fistula practice space and drag out some of his most
lethal circuit-shredders, keyboards and power tools. The end result are
two new discs, Lessons In Lamentation and Inverted Black Star, each one
possessed by a single hour-plus track of Fistula with Steve Makita
conjuring fucking HUGUNGOUS slabs of apocalyptic free-metal. And it's
Fistula's most abstract, demonic music ever, a charred mess of harsh
electronic skree and gut-rumbling noise and unholy doom metal.

In contrast to it's companion disc Inverted Black Star, Lessons In
Lamentation sounds like it's virtually "rocking". Where Inverted spews
monoto-riffs and malevolent power tool noise across the jet-black waste
of it's hour long length, this jam is more upbeat, opening with a
massive chugging sludgy metal riff that cycles over and over, slowly
joined by a swarm of sizzling feedback and high pitched sine-whine.
Crazed shredding solos appear, the central riff changes shape
throughout, the whole track seems to be split into three distinct
sections. It's super hypnotic as Fistula grinds away endlessly
surrounded by Makita's dense and textured noise. Deep monstrous vocals
emerge from out of the filth, gutteral invocations that are impossible
to decipher. A massive plodding industrial dirge, a meditation on
repetitive metal riffing and the blackest feedback, recorded all the way
in the red, a majestic crumbling obelisk of monstrous noise-doom.

PRICE: 8 €


FISTULA: INVERTED BLACK STAR, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
At some point last year, the members of Fistula met up with another
Ohioan, Steve Makita from the midwest power-violence legends Apartment
213, midwest power-tool noise legends Lockweld, and current second
throat for Agoraphobic Nosebleed. At some point, both of these parties
decided that joining forces would be a good move and had Makita lug over

two new discs, Lessons In Lamentation and Inverted Black Star, each one
possessed by a single hour-plus track of Fistula with Steve Makita
conjuring fucking HUGUNGOUS slabs of apocalyptic free-metal. And it's
Fistula's most abstract, demonic music ever, a charred mess of harsh
electronic skree and gut-rumbling noise and unholy doom metal.

The title itself points to the pure blackness of Inverted Black Star: a
massive hour-plus wave of bleak, blackened improvised doom riffing, only
one or two riffs tops, but each one repeated over and over into infinity
as the band and Makita pile on layers and layers of corrosive feedback,
pneumatic drill noises, slicing sinewave tones, long black tentacles of
undulating drone. About halfway through the disc, a voice begins
speaking underneath the crushing sludge and noise, and it creates an
effect similiar to hearing a television news bradcast about something
really bad from four rooms away, only to sink back into the lumbering,
monotonous deathtrance. Utterly crushing.

PRICE: 8 €


FOUNDATION HOPE: TUNES FOR THE WOUNDED, CD
(Cold Meat)
‘Tunes for the wounded’ can be considered a lament. It is a defamatory
accusation to the world and it’s suffering. Foundation hope lodges
complaints through gritty ambient-industrial structures, broken sounds
and despairing moods. Always without losing touch with the beautiful and
melodic. Always with that tiny bright spark of hope, overshadowed by
doubt and cynicism.

This successor to ‘The faded reveries’ is a little more harsh.
Incorporated are distorted guitar drones, tape-decks, broken strings and
noisy outbursts. Firmly rooted in reality, this is tears dropping
slowly, a herd crawling through mud and blood, and a call to a redeemer
who isn’t there.

PRICE: 12 €


GOLGATHA: TALES OF TRANSGRESSION & SACRIFICE, CD
(Cold Meat)
‘Transgression means to step over a certain point that normally cannot,
or should not be passed; to transgress boundaries is to break down
boundaries — transgression is a departure from the given, the existing,
the normal, the world as we know it.’
The French philosopher Georges Bataille serves as the inspiration for
the new and third fulltime album of the German ritual-folk-band
:Golgatha:. Founded in 2004 by Christoph Donarski and S. Marleni,
:Golgatha: began in the dark realms of ambient-drones and continually
developed their use of acoustic instruments to create a unique mixture
organic and electronic elements. After two acclaimed albums on the
subject of heroism, ‘Tales of Transgression & Sacrifice’ marks a certain
change of course in the music of :Golgatha: – in a psychonautic trip
from ritual-drumming via multi-textured soundscapes up to catchy
folk-songs this album appears even more sensual, erotic and fascinating
than before.

Included are new versions of the songs ‘Rites of Spring’ (from
CMI-compilation ‘All My Dead Friends’), ‘Garden of Love’(from
NONPOP-compilation) and ‘Flesh of the Orchid’. This time :Golgatha:
introduce the beautiful female voice of Sorakey besides a wide variety
of acoustic instrumentation (acoustic guitar, viola, bodhran drum, Asian
gong, flutes etc.).

‘Tales of Transgression & Sacrifice’ was produced in close collaboration
with German photo-artist Birthe Klementowski, who has done mystic and
erotic pictures for each song contained, reproduced in the booklet.

The new album by German ritual-folk-band :Golgatha: will appeal to fans
of apocalyptic folk, shamanistic soundscapes and gothic-mysticism alike.

Comes in a very exclusive DVD-sized digipak with 32 pages booklet.

PRICE: 13 €


HEDORAH: S/T, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
Taking it's name from the aerial pollution god that faced off against
Godzilla in the Japanese psychedelic kaiju classic Godzilla vs. Hedorah
(1971), Hedorah is fully documented on this sort-run disc that combines
the track "From Beyond" from the split cassette with The Fortieth Day,
"Planet Of Doom" from the Dr. Who Vs The Noise compilation, and five
unreleased tracks. Hedorah proves to be a multi-tentacled beast:
"Crystal Smoke" evokes a smog-ridden wasteland laced with acid-rock
guitar soloing, pummeling industrial bass, and trance inducing beats,
and ends up as some kind of grim krautrock jam. "Self Medicated" emits
looping dialogue and whirring drones over monstrous throat chanting.
"Hyperbolean" combines terrifying screams converted to echo-chamber hiss
and overdriven, pummeling metal riffage thrust so far into the red that
it sounds like there are flaps of speaker material smacking up against
yer eardrums. The twenty-minute "Black Walls" is the apex of distortion
though. That final track starts off as a sheet of obsidian ambience, a
shimmering drone streaked by whirring noises, but then the riff appears,
a massive three-chord doom dirge looming over the horizon, massively
distorted and plodding, a hateful obelisk of fuzz lumbering through the
increasingly violent blasts of feedback and distorted vocal noise that's
shot across the soundfield. Ominous synth melodies and dank cave
ambience appear later on, but become devoured by vicious feedback
lashings a la Prurient and the return of that bottomless crushing doom
dirge. Heavy is an understatement.

Packaged in our signature 3-panel Crucial Bliss glossy sleeve, which has
been designed by Lord Keeler himself. The disc is attached to the inside
of the jacket on a plastic hub, and there is also a small insert card
included in the package. Released in an edition of 250 copies.

PRICE: 8 €


KARNA: HAUNTED (AGE OF DESTRUCTION), CD
(Eternal Pride)
…cold post industrial pulsations, freezing ambient passages and
explosive military rhythms... musical shapes mimicry and hide in a
secret Spheres, power of which are able to destroy illusority of
«reality» and move the listener over the boundaries of limits, as it
befits the true Black Art ... [Label info]

PRICE: 12 €


NADJA: DESIRE IN UNEASINESS, CD
(Crucial Blast)
Following a wave of recent reissues and re-recorded versions of older
CD-R titles, Desire In Uneasiness is an album of all new material from
the acclaimed Canadian dreamsludge weavers Nadja. Five colossal jams of
eternally-fuzzy, ethereal dirge that are powered by the interlocking
bass guitars of Leah Buckareff and Aidan Baker, who set loose a wave of
monstrous grinding bass riffs amidst a fog of beautiful, swirling
electronic effects. Desire also marks the first Nadja album to feature a
live drummer in place of the drum machine programming that has driven
the band's previous recordings, and the difference in the band's sound
is apparent from the first crushing beats of album opener
'Disambiguation'. The organic drumming here takes Nadja's music into new
realms of spacious jazzy exploration, dubby rhythms and cavernous
psychedelia, while also delivering some of the band's most grooving,
crushing hypno-bliss yet.

Desire also stands out from the rest of the Nadja catalog for it's
bizarre artwork that Aidan commisioned from his friend The Reverend
Aitor. Aitor's bright, bold lines and textured magic marker artwork
gives the gatefold jacket we've presented this disc in the look of a
twisted children's book on acid, with weird images of chickens, trees
growing through chairs, and more. The package is a sturdy 4-panel
gatefold jacket printed by Stoughton, and it looks killer.

PRICE: 12 €


NIKO SKORPIO: HALF BORN IN HALF LIGHT, CD
(Some Place Else)
Half Born in Half Light is based on the foundations of psychedelic
ambient soundscapes and darkly majestic bass drone, over which tribal
rhythms and magickal vocal invocations build grotesque alien monoliths
whose angles mock the euclidean mathematics of conventional composition.
Niko Skorpio is not restricted to one particular genre, but draws on
many sources. This makes the music colourful and diverse, yet it remains
coherent and has the artist’s unique fingerprints all over (this time
literally in the cover as well). If we are to give it a label, let’s
call it HERMETIC FUSION MUSICK.

CD comes with gorgeously designed 12-panel leaflet with art, photos,
liner notes etc. Edition of 1000 copies.

PRICE: 10 €


NORDVARGR: HELVETE, CD
(Eternal Pride)
The newest creation from Villa Bohult, the Nordvargr family burial
vault. This time the "cursed poet" Wrest from the USBM Leviathan Cult
and Drakhon (Beyond Sensory Experience, MZ. 412) have joined the night
sessions of the never sleeping Swedish zombie. It would be totally
insane to be waiting for something life-asserting, light and positive
for the three of them. "Helvete" is just the overwhelming Darkness and
the ice-cold all-filling Terror. Meditative and sinister Dark Ambient
rhythms are filled with the ominous whisper of Wrest and Drakh. Deep and
lengthy drones as well as the charming atmosphere of the Swedish
industrial decadence. At the end of this trip all of those nostalgic for
the times of the «Burning The Temple Of God» MZ. 412 will be fully
rewarded for all the years of waiting. [Label info]

PRICE: 12 €


OVRO: REVISITED, CD
(Some Place Else)
The wondergirl of Finnish dark ambient soundscapes is back with a new
album. Revisited is based on field recordings made during Ovro’s tour in
Russia in 2006, subsequently processed and treated in the studio.
Revisited is a powerful aural travelogue. It will lull the listener to a
state of receptive trance, and then starts working on the subconscious
mind. Let yourself go, lose yourself in the sound, expect lucid dreams,
out-of-body experiences, alien apparitions and a shower of sound
massaging your body throughout.

CD is packed in beautiful 4-panel digisleeve. Edition of 1000 copies.

PRICE: 10 €


ROME: MASSE MENSCH MATERIAL, CD
(Cold Meat)
New wine from the orchards of Rome! After two successful albums, Nera
and Confessions d’un Voleur d’Ames, ROME blesses us with its
12-track-knock-out Masse Mensch Material -which holds more than one
musical surprise! ROME’s particular brand of post-industrial folk,
combined with new-wave song-writing and neo-classical arrangements,
takes on a new and poppy twist. But these outstanding songs have way too
much depth to be dismissed as mere pop music. This third album is of a
more subtle darkness and probably ROME’s best work to date. A work of
art of extreme sincerity, Masse Mensch Material revolves around the
themes of love, faith and endurance. ROME has created a fascinating
world of contradictions which each song lays out with clarity and with
all the cruelty and kindness intact. Within a very short period of time
and at a terrifying pace, workaholic mastermind Jerome Reuter has carved
his own path and created and established a dominion of his own, with its
own codes and values. Through its bitter sweet melodies of exquisite
sadness and rebellion, its haunting lyrics, mesmerizing vocals and
recordings of unmatched production and sound, ROME has become the new
face of dark romanticism. Jerome’s voice echoes pride and death of a
time and place long forgotten. A voice which becomes the axis that
breaks one’s consciousness into some kind of tender submission. Let
yourself be buried in the shade of this masterpiece, in the beauty of
desperation! Come out under the stars! ROME is the light!

Exclusive 4-panel embossed digipak with 16-pages booklet including ALL
lyrics!

PRICE: 12 €


STURMAST: IBIS REDIBIS NUNQUAM IN BELLO PERIBIS, CD
(Cold Meat)
Sturmast from Hungary plays a unique kind of folk influenced martial
industrial music. Far from being an instrumental one-man computer band
putting some classical loops and battle sounds together, Sturmast is a
collective fronted by Varga Gabor. Here real musicians play real
instruments, thus introducing the good old band-feeling to the martial
industrial scene. The music contains powerful, eruptive live drums
(toms, snare, bass drum), haunting violin and cello, acoustic guitar,
and a selection of traditional folk instruments (e.g. kaval, jaw harp).
Even the keyboards are "live" recorded in some ways, and a considerable
part of the samples and special effects are made by the band itself.
Absorbing atmosphere links the compositions which vary from hypnotic
monotonous to marching repetitive, from moody experimental to beautiful,
melancholy-filled delicate. The lyrics, portraying the fight of the
historic and modern, spiritual and secular, uplifting and ill-fated, are
mostly in Hungarian (one song is in German), with English translations
in the stylish digipak with booklet.

PRICE: 12 €


VARGR: WEHRMACHT SATANAS, CD
(Eternal Pride)
The name of Henrik Nordvargr Bjorkk has always been associated to the
power of Swedish Black Industrial which has always been linked to MZ.
412 for many years. As a part of MZ. 412, Nordvargr first managed to
combine black metal and post-industrial aesthetics. But VARGR is even a
more diabolic, blasphemous and terrifying cocktail of the real
Scandinavian black metal of the early 1990s and the noise
post-industrial layers which create the atmosphere of real Evil, Death,
Chaos and Destruction in their impious graciousness. An unholy communion
summoned to create the soundtrack for all wars to come. Bow to the
Northern Wolf! [Label info]

ZERO KAMA: LIVE IN ARNHEIM, 2CD
(Athanor)
Athanor is proud to finaly release the legendary live in Arnheim from
14.9.1985 of Zero Kama. Michael DeWitt’s Zero Kama was the precursor of
the ritual and majick inspired music scene with bands like Coil or
Psychic Tv. Their label Nekrophile was a big influence on many
individuals and also for the creation of Athanor.
Zero Kama did only two performances, in Amsterdam and Arnheim. This last
one being presented here for the first time on CD. In concert, Zero
Kama’s sounds was quite different than on their only studio album « The
Secret Eye of LAYLAH ». They used accoustic instruments aswell as bass
and guitars. For this concert Zero Kama were Michael DeWitt (concept,
tapes, voice, bone instruments, shenai, violin, percussion), Muki
Pakesch (tapes, guitar, bass drum), Didi Neidhardt (bass, bass drum,

which set standards in deeply emotional dark ambient noise back in 1995.
Includes bonus material not found on the original release.

PRICE: 12 €


GENERIC: TORTURE, CD
(Fractured Spaces)
Generic's "Torture", a long and deeply unsettling journey into the
beating black heart, and Antarctic iciness of the collective shattered
psyche, of a shattered mankind. Created using "foley tracks" and sound
effects (used for both film and television), as well as the occasional
guitars, bass, and found sounds, it all combines to produce a haunting,
nerve-shredding, ghostly and schizophrenic soundtrack, guaranteed to
simultaneously freeze the heart and mind, and induce cold sweat to bead
the forehead and shivers to wrack the body. Six mid to long tracks of
bleak mindscapes totalling just over 50 minutes and wrapped in beautiful
full colour digipak with artwork by new German digital artist THAMUS.

PRICE: 12 €

KEPLERS ODD: STRENA NEU DE NIVE SAXANGULA, CD
(Fractured Spaces)
  From the darkest and coldest heart of Sweden comes the trio known as
Keplers Odd, and FracturedSpacesRecords is pleased to announce that
"Strena Seu de Nive Sexangula", their third CD album, is the first
official release on the UK's newest quality underground music label.
Featuring seven tracks of noisy yet subtly ambient guitar-driven sonic
attacks, eerily redolent of the icy cold mysterious aurora-wrapped
landscapes prevalent throughout Northern Europe, inhabited by creatures
and monsters spawned from the myths & legends told around campfires over
countless generations. Indeed, Keplers Odd have themselves spawned a
monster of an album, creating textures and ambiences far beyond the
normal run of over-driven guitar noisefests – yes, there is unalloyed
power here, but there is also quiet subtlety, sinister atmospherics, and
deeply dark occult moods. Ancient abandoned buildings, dark musty
corridors, sinister forces at play – it's all here in stonking quantities!!

PRICE: 12 €


V/A: ARYAN MEMORY: MUSICAL TRADITIONS IN PAMIR, 2CD + DVD + BOOK
(Kailas)
A unique deluxe collector's editon of traditional Pamir music "Aryan
Memory". The set comprises a 6-page double DVD digipack holding two
audio-CDs, a DVD and a 20-page full-colored booklet with information on
musicians and conventional musical instruments of the Pamirs as well as
a 100-page full-colored book in 14x25 cm format which describes the
history of the Pamirs, beliefs and traditional ways of life of local
residents (about 200 illustrations, texts are in both Russian and
English). All components are packed in a bright-colored cardboard box.
The Pamirs territory, being an almost inaccessible region, has preserved
to this day tokens of the most ancient human culture, symbols, music,
worldview, which are at least several millennia old - the spiritual
foundation that gave birth to the greatest European and Asian cultures.
But it should be mentioned that Pamir music is relatively unresearched,
there have been issued only about five CD recordings, of which only one
or two were favored with positive responses from the indigenous
population of the Pamirs, because the spirit of this ancient
civilization completely dissolves in recording studios and stays alive
only when the music is performed in traditional environment. This
recording of traditional Pamir music, presented in the "Aryan Memory"
edition, is one of a few in this list, that had captured musicians in a
fully unconstrained state and where the impact of sound-recording
equipment was kept to a minimum. Particular attention should be given to
the DVD, which is an integral part of the set. The film was shot both in
the Pamirs in the River Bartang's Valley and at the Museum of musical
instruments in Gurmindzh. It is an hour and a half long and it
demonstrates the Pamir nature, it's ancient culture, dances and music
and also exposes the psychology of the natives. There is no voice over
or subtitles, the film relies mostly on meditative and trance-like
perception. The book contains a lot of photos of forbidden regions of
the Pamirs which in the recent times have been absolutely inaccessible
to foreigners and are hardly accessible even now...

Limited edition 1000 hand-numbered copies. One copy weights 750 gramms.

Halo Manash News / Forest Music ~ Ocean Fires

A brief notice for all the pilgrims on the road; Halo Manash will be
journeying in the transdimensional regions of The Nether-lands, and
France during august. As many times before, our humble aim is to seek,
explore, experience, study and decipher reflections of the prevailing
elemental emanations, ever-shifting shapes and different worlds - to
open the way for the comprehensive communication with archaic and
vigorous Elements and Elementals and thus bridge the worlds of being and
non-being.

The awakened, absorbed reflections and strongly running emanations, will
be at once further deciphered through bare and powerful acoustic
presentations - through rhythmic language. The route we are going to
journey and more importantly all the activity that's going to take place
will be guided by the Great Emanation and surrounding transpersonal reality.

Those who are interested may check below the one and only preliminary
timetable we have to give: Performance in Lille area (Wednesday 13rd of
August)

- Performance in Ambleteuse area (Thursday 14th of August)

- Performance in Brocéliande forest, near Rennes (15/16th of August)

- Performances around Carnac, Locmariaquer and Quiberon (Sunday 17th
till Tuesday 19th)


Please note: As already mentioned, there are not going to be any
predefined locations / venues nor fixed time for the performances to
take place. In addition to the afore-mentioned dates and locations some
random performances will also happen - somewhere and in some time. May
the Great Emanation lead You toward Halo Manash.

We are looking forward to cross paths with many fellow Seekers /
Explorers ~ May the Ocean Fires of August enlighten the journey beyond
the limits of time and space,

ACCOMPLICE AFFAIR: JEZIORO WSPOMNIEN, CD-R
(My Hands Music)
Experimental / Dark Ambient from Poland.

PRICE: 7 €


ADRIVA: COLD SEA WEEK, CD-R
(Abgurd)
Project of Denis from formations of SUNCHARIOT, ENMERKAR and MATTER
shows a little more experimental Drone Ambient than the one he performs
in his main project, SUNCHARIOT.

The album is dedicated to the author's sojourn on the shores of Black
Sea in winter. Slack, congealed soundwaves crystallize in the air and
gently descend on eyelids and shoulders, immersing one in eternal
slumber of Suspense. Floating spectres of drowned fishermen, call-signs
of ultramundane submarines, icefloes that ram Eternity, chasm of
scalding coldness and pitch-darkness.

PRICE: 8 €


ANDREA MARUTTI: THE BRUTALITY OF MISBREATHING, CD-R
(Opaco)
"The Brutality of Misbreathing" is Andrea Marutti's first full-lenght
release published under his own name. He is better known for his Amon
and Never Known projects and as Afe Records label owner. His music has
been published by Eibon Records, Amplexus, Drone Records, Taâlem, etc.
This album is a one hour journey between dramatic dark atmospheres and
drone-based ambiences in slow and continous evolution. Echoes of
reverbered metallic sounds and sharp circular loops, electronic elements
and saturated signals close to distortion emerge each now and then from
the disquieting sound mass. The music flows in a persistent alternation
of majestic crescendos and quiet discreet stases; a sense of tension and
discomfort permeates the whole disc, just like being stuck in a long and
appearently never-ending bad dream...

PRICE: 8 €


ANTI-VERSTAND: SONG LIKE WIND, CD-R
(Abgurd)
ANTI-VERSTAND - side-project of YAO 91404 D - is pretty known among
adorers of Russian Noise due to tapes released by YAOP and a couple of
CDR re-releases made by Abgurd and Fight Muzik. With "Song Like Wind"
the project introduces absolutely new and fresh point of view on its
Art. The first recordings of ANTI-BRAIN were on the verge of boundless
madness and unprejudiced aural challenge, while the new album appears to
be more expressive, strict and catchy, burning with
romantic-totalitarian lunacy of the best works by YAO 91404 D, e.g.
"Heroes of the Coal Age" and "Key to Abyss". Love-poetry of soviet-era,
disco-songs, accompanied by a captured metal impress, soviet-era variety
art, rough and rigid feedbacks, concorporated into percussive ritual
noise loops and abrasive distorted tapes emerge monumental piece of art.

PRICE: 8 €


ARMON KUILU: S/T, CD
(Totuuden Sarvi Levyt)
The first release from Totuuden Sarvi Levyt is a piece of Finnish art
destined to remain in the minds of those who hear it. The debut
mini-album by Armon Kuilu is a funereal musical journey, two long
progressive compositions built out mostly of classical piano, strings,
orchestral drums, singing, prayers and invocations in male and female
voices. More of a gothic work than a total assault on the senses, yet
one must remember that the word gothic is often abused in connotation
with just a melancholic form of new age entertainment music but here the
soundscapes bring to mind images of forlorn cemetaries, initiatory
cults, bloodletting, woodlands and altered states of consciousness. At
times the melodies of chamber music break out into squeals, groans and
crackling which haunt the space and resonate with the Finnish poetry,
that most of the time reminds one of a satanic ceremony. Some passages
sound familiar to the listeners of European avantgarde and progressive
music such as Actus, Art Zoyd and releases from the label Athanor.
Post-industrial fans should also listen to this work but remember that
this is not your generic so-called occult album with the usual Crowley
spoken parts. Instead this is a deeply personal work with challenging
classical and sometimes jazz or progressive melodies composed by the
master behind the project and performed by real musicians with authentic
instruments and also utilizing real actors for the various voices and
spoken parts. Believe me, you will hear the difference. The mini-album
comes in a black & white sleeve with a full color 8-page art booklet
(size 7x7"), built from nature-mystical imagery shot on infrared film.

PRICE: 8 €


AUBE: IMAGERY RESONANCE, CD
(Aquarellist)
Recorded in October – November 2007 in studio Mecca, Kyoto, Japan, with
a percussion synthesizer amdek pck-100. Sound & Design : Akifumi Nakajima.

PRICE: 12 €


CLOAMA + BLUTLEUCHTE: FROM WASTELAND MAUSOLEUMS, CD
(New Old Sentinel)
"Cloama and Blutleuchte rise anew From Wasteland Mausoleums with
desolate, cryptic and evocative soundscapes of the world beyond
perception. Further removed from the noise and power electronics
beginnings of both projects, here one is to find experiments in
candlelit rituals, analogicism inspired by early German electronic
pioneers, voices and hauntings and crushing guitar. Melodies and raw
noise interlap as the twin phases of existence or the primal creations
of deities both wrathful and dreaming.
The CD is comprised of 12 tracks with a total duration of almost an hour
of parapsychological exploits. Comes in a jewelcase with an 8-page UV
coated booklet containing lyrics and exclusive art."

PRICE: 11 €


EXIT IN GREY: TWILIGHT WATERS, CD-R
(Abgurd)
[S] and (S), who live in Pushkino city in Moscow suburbs, created their
project EXIT IN GREY four years ago. During the last couple of years
they worked with their solo-projects as well. Those are ABANDONED HEAD
of (S) and SISTER LOOLOMIE and FIVE ELEMENTS MUSIC of [S]. EXIT IN GREY
is 100% example of Drone Ambient: hypnotizing field-recordings of city
and nature, their own unique methods of musicianship, harmonizing
guitar, synths and singing bowls helps the musicians to follow their
chosen path of Archaic and Emotional. «Twilight Waters» was recorded in
the year 2005 and was released by the musicians own label Daphnia
Records in ultra-limited edition «for friends-only». Gloomy and cold,
streaming through underground caves sound collages. Transformed droning
streams of ever-water and noises of oceanic spaces co-work with
guitar-based drones and singing bowls. Calm and introvert recording for
dilution and absorption.

PRICE: 8 €


FILIVS MACROCOSMI: STALKER, CD
(OMS Records)
"Stalker is an elaborate puzzle. Its pieces are always scattered, and
Filivs Macrocosmi relies on his listener to bring the final element of
the puzzle along with him. One of Stalker's many treats is that it
invites you to get carried away into your own thoughts, flowing with the
images as it provides new questions to ponder... In that sense, the
album is very much like a philosophical poem: a very simple surface
covering innumerable layers of meaning. One extremely long ride in a
cart, with clunking metal and water-whooshing sounds, is fascinating and
hypnotic. FM downplayed the science fiction aspects of the movie, making
the album more about philosophical and spiritual concerns leaving us at
the threshold of the Room where all our most cherished desires come
true. Welcome to your Self, an alien place guarded by barbed wire..."

Package - 3-panel fullcolor glossy paper cover. Ltd.ed. to 500.

PRICE: 12 €


FIRST HUMAN FERRO: CORONA ASTRALIS, CD
(OMS Records)
This is first OMS Records CD! "Corona Astralis" is a consequential
follow-up to the 2000 "Motherwards" CD and in the long run fundamentally
represents development of the project, carefully combining early
1998-2001 death ambient/industrial experiments with recent ever
generating solid electroacoustics, harsh electronica and dronesque synth
multistructures, all to be ultimately finallized as integral one of the
world in a grain of sand...

PRICE: 10 €


FREIBAND: REPLICAS, CD
(Monochrome Vision)
Highly conceptual project that combines features of remix, recycling and
plagiarism – the re-interpretation of classic album by Asmus Tietchens
“Daseinsverfehlung”. All what can be heard on this CD, as always in case
of Frans de Waard framework, is made from music that already existed:
every sound, word in titles and even the cover picture – all is just
processing and manipulation techniques.

Limited edition of 500 copies in jewelcase.

PRICE: 10 €


GEN KEN MONTGOMERY: DRILLING HOLES IN THE WALL, CD
(Monochrome Vision)
Archive materials from one of the most mysterious musicians in
electronic underground, dating from 1988 to 1991. Each piece composed by
Gen Ken Montgomery is the result of domestic alchemy, transforming some
ugliest environmental sounds into artistic images of impressive beauty.
His instruments are just prepared toy synth, but also from time to time
laminator, icebreaker, radiator, film projector and so on. These
recordings were made in Conrad Schnizler studio in West Berlin, and also
live on stage there, in time of Germany reunion.

PRICE: 10 €


HLADNA: MELTING WATER, CD
(Aquarellist)
Very raw ritual ambient/noise saturated with ultramundane drones and
metal rattle. Mostly meditative but sometimes brutal. Primordial music.

PRICE: 12 €


KRYPTOGEN RUNDFUNK + HLADNA: ROKTON + FORMANTA, 3" CD-R
(Zhelezobeton)
Hladna and Kryptogen Rundfunk - behind these names stand two St.
Petersburg-based musicians playing experimental noise music. They both
nourish a tender passion for old electronic instruments and often use
them at their concerts and on recordings. One warm sunny day they
gathered and decided to play on two analogue rhythm synthesizers
"Rokton" and "Formanta". These are actually two identical instruments
which were produced in the Soviet Union by two different factories. Each
of them is the "brain" for electronic drum-kit, but can also be used
separately - as a multi-channel tone-noise-generator or rhytm-machine.

Kryptogen Rundfunk used his device smoothly, evenly and calmly while
Hladna expelled from his more sharp and unpredictable sounds. Worth
mentioning are Hladna's non-standard ways of making sound - on the last
two tracks he opened the back plate of his synth and played not only
using knobs but also getting inside and abridging contacts with his own
hands (for which he was incidentally struck by the current a couple of
times).

Live recording without any processing, with all it's natural crackles
and tasty overloads. Abstract electronics, minimalism and a little noise.

PRICE: 6 €


MUSLIMGAUZE: NADIR OF PURDAH, CD
(Aquarellist)
Tracks 1-3 are taken from the Nile Quartra 7" (originally released by
Jara, 1994), tracks 4-7 from the Nadir Of Purdah 12" (originally
released by Jara, 1995) track 8 taken from the ”Impulse #4 “(Impulse
Magazine Tape Compilation)

PRICE: 12 €


NAZI BASTARDS FROM ALDEBARAN: INVASION, CD-R
(Zhelezobeton)
An unknown artifact of the 90-ies Russian industrial scene! Having
recorded several tracks in 1997-1999 the members of the project haven't
done absolutely anything to make the result available for the public,
and they just disappeared in complete obscurity... Years later the
composition "Swastika Man" was released on the "Red Square" compilation
by KultFRONT label. And only now can the gap be considered completely
filled as this disk contains the full legacy of the project.

Music of NBFA is a kind of old school electro industrial: catchy
rhythms, melodies and well thought-out synthetic fillings of tracks.
Various samples spice up the compositions, and their titles like
"Illuminati", "Cleansing the Planet", "Nazi UFO Attacks Paris Nightclub"
unambiguously talk about the ideological basis of this mysterious project.

PRICE: 8 €


NIKITA GOLYSHEV: SOLARIS, CD
(Monochrome Vision)
The debut CD album of one of the most promising russian underground
musician, presenting his own unique vision of ambient music. Combining
the deep layers of machine-like hum and minimal melodic keys, Nikita
creates highly emotional and dramatic journey to the netherworld. Two
parts of this one hour long suite are the partly presented in the
program of Add Noise II festival on May 15th, 2007.

PRICE: 10 €


OÖPHOI: POTALA, 10"
(Substantia Innominata)
"Potala" is the first ever vinyl by the Italian deep ambient master!
This 10" presents two long contemplative tracks into the center of holy
places (may it be physically or mentally), opening endless spaces with
low humming & reverberating meditation-drones! "Potala is the name of
the big palace of the Dalai Lama in Lhasa, Tibet. A big palace
surrounded by mighty mountains which has been the center of the tibetan
Buddhism until the chinese invasion. A palace full of mysteries. This
music is a kind of tribute to the tibetan culture...." Edition of 500
copies pressed on luminous green vinyl, full-colour artwork by
1000SCHOEN aka ex-MAEROR TRI-member HELGE SIEHL!

"Substantia Innominata" is the 10"-series by Drone Records, presenting
works inspired by or related to "the Unknown" around or within us.

PRICE: 12 €


OVERDOSE KUNST: WAS IST OVERDOSE KUNST, 3" CD-R
(Zhelezobeton)
The Japanese duet Overdose Kunst exists since 2001 and records a strange
sort of music which they call "schizopoetry". Rejection of stylistic
norms in the name of sound-craft freedom, deconstruction and irrational
re-assemblage of musical material - that's what stands behind this term.
This approach allows them to keep a child's purity and frankness in
musical perception with the ability to send an emotional charge without
using settled compositional forms. This disc includes the most song-like
tracks of the band: crookedly recorded guitars, voices emotionally
singing some nonsense in a mixture of several languages, and reversed
melodies. Fine and lyrical post-rock from Japanese experimental
underground.

PRICE: 6 €


SATORI: KANASHIBARI, LP
(Molehill)
First ever vinyl release from UK Dark Ambient / Fortean Electronics act
Satori - Neil Chaney (Pessary) and Justin Mitchell (Cold Spring boss).
"Kanashibari" is the Japanese term for sleep paralysis (literally "bound
or fastened in metal"). The album explores this phenomena, manipulating
Fortean sounds and deep dark ambience. Ltd x 300 hand-numbered copies in
a stunning full-colour inner sleeve, with die-cut matt finish outer
sleeve, embellished with gold print and spot varnishing.

PRICE: 13 €


SUNCHARIOT: FICTIO, CD-R
(Abgurd)
A project of a sculptor and an ethnographer Denis Shapovalov from the
city of Rostov-on-Don, who is also the one and the only member of
ADRIVA, ENMERKAR and MATTER. "Fictio" calls to self-dependent
comprehension of forms by sublimation of clods of clay and granite
monoliths with alchemy of archaic Drone Ambient, giving birth to
resonances and fluctuations of Time. As deep stone strata that move by
one millimetre in a thousand years, humming and drifting drones spread
over the body, moving away all the vanity and fuss.

The release consists of two 35+ minutes parts, one of which was released
as the same-named CDr on Observatory recordsin an edition of 40 copies.

PRICE: 8 €


VOICES OF THE DEAD, DVD-R
(Zhelezobeton)
Photographer and videoartist Yuri Elik is primarily known as one of the
founders and permanent members of multimedia project 2012, creating
audio-video installations on various contemporary art festivals (SKIF,
Heilige Feuer, Multivision, etc.). Apart from this Yuri performs on his
own making video- and slide-shows for a number of experimental musical
bands in St. Petersburg. Yuri is also the video show author for the
performances of Simon Magus ballet written by D. Kakhovskiy and the
designer of several CD artworks and websites.

Gosha Solnzev (also known as "Van Gog" - 1g0g) - big industrial showman,
leader of the project Noises of Russia well-known in Russia, organizer
of several festivals, such as "Noise vs. Glamour", "Military Days",
"Noisy Women", etc. Gosha has always claimed that he plays funeral
music, so it's no wonder he showed interest in the phenomenon of voices
of the dead, discovered by Friedrich Jürgenson in the late 50s of the
past century. Electronic Voice Phenomenon (voices of the dead, Raudive
voices) are the voices of anomalous origin appearing while making
records on tape recorders or other electronic audio devices. EVP
researches claim and have proof that this is a possible way of
communication between physical and some other non-physical planes of
existence.

The exploration of this phenomenon led to an effective cooperation
between Van Gog and Yuri which resulted in a series of live performances
with the "Voices of the Dead" program and this short film, with 24
minutes an obscure psychedelic drama evolving in front of the spectator.
A multi-layered collage of concrete visual images and kaleidoscopic
colour fields constantly transforms, accompanied by unusual and uneasy
sombre ambient with real voices of the dead samples interlaced in it's
structure.

As a bonus this disk also contains a 12-min. slide-film "City Spirits":
alternation of photos by Yuri Elik with his own soundtrack constructed
from city noises. Yuri skillfully focuses attention on subtleties of
usual things that remain unseen to the eye of a usual human being,
generally too busy with thinking over his insubstantial problems and
forgetting about the beauty of the world surrounding him.

The release is packed in a special cardboard sleeve and goes with a
booklet with an encyclopaedic reference about the phenomenon of
electronic voices.

AGLAIA: UNPROFANED TWILIGHT, CD
(Faria)
A soundworld where the vibrations, the poetry and sound teraphy bring
the listener into forgotten sound places. The electronic sounds seem
played from the wind, and their brilliance often seem to come from the
cords of an acoustic instrument. [EQM]

PRICE: 12 €


ANTONIO TESTA: INFRAMUNDIS, CD
(Faria)
Inframundis (inland universe, latin) is a research of stalagmites and
stalagtites sounds mixed with textures and drones; It’s a meditative
record and it creates a balance between biosphere and technosphere. The
cd gets free all its energies, its little/big sounds, its hidden
atmospheres, and microharmonies.
The sounds, music, make us come back to the past, offering us the view
of a World. The sound evokes angelical moments between the imperceptible
evolution of the sound of the sky and the ethnic roots, natural
instrumental sounds creating atmospheres which evoke in our imaginary
visions and images of the most far places. It is an alchemic project of
ancestral sounds. Deeply rooted in our unconscious.

Artwork conception was created by Sara Luciani, release contain several
cards and double side cover.

PRICE: 12 €


ARBEIT: ZUM EINEM NEUEN LICHT, CD
(Autumn Wind Prod)
Experience the Martial and Neo-Classical sounds and the lives of Men,
Women and Children thrust into an environment of Total War... Total
Loss.... What would we have been in this time of uncertainty... what
would we have done? [Label info]

PRICE: 12 €


ARDITI: OMNE ENSIS IMPERA, CD
(Equilibrium Music)
“Omne Ensis Impera” introduces an additional strength to Arditi’s
compositions - epic orchestral loops and thunderous percussions are
granted a more prominent role, stirring the damp and suffocating
ambiance that the duo have always produced so well. The highly
anticipated new album by the Swedish duo is finally upon us, under the
title "Omne Ensis Impera". The sense of determination that echoes
through their music and which has brought them to the forefront of
Martial / Industrial Neo-Classical scene has stayed untouched, evoking
the sense of duty and commitment that Italy's WWI elite storm troops,
from which the name Arditi originated, were known for.

Similarly, shades of the Italian Futuristic movement of the early XXth
century, which served as inspiration in the early days of the project,
remain imprinted in Arditi's work - "Omne Ensis Impera" could well be a
modern interpretation of the Futurist's goal of glorifying warfare to an
artistic expression beyond its inherent violence and intrinsic sense of
heroism.

"Omne Ensis Impera" has been mastered by Kamrat Nordvargr of Mz.412 and
Toroidh, an old ally of the band. Nordvargr has also contributed with
additional arrangements on a couple of tracks, and prepared a slightly
modified track list, which will feature on the vinyl version of the
album that will follow soon, together with a limited edition box set.
The CD version is presented in a deluxe glossy Digipak, with embossed
artwork.

PRICE: 12 €


BABYLONE CHAOS: LES MACHINES ECARLATES, CD
(OPN)
10 tracks mixing industrial music with electronic sounds, harsh noise

BESTIA CENTAURI: TERATOGENESIS, CD
(Eibon Records)
Sonic landscapes that convey a sense of the numinous, the horrific, and
the extra-human. With the new release, Bestia Centauri defies once and
for all the persistent mischaracterizations of its sound as belonging to
the "Dark Ambient ghetto". Electroacoustic and computer music elements
come brazenly to the foreground, and contribute even more so to the flow
of "crawling chaos" that has always characterized and inspired Bestia
Centauri’s compositions. The genesis and development of a monstrosity is
the theme of this new work, which charts a course from mutated
unicellular sonic DNA to the resultant life-form that reaches "from the
jaws of the dragon, from the depths of the abyss".

CALABI-YAU: COMPACTIFIED, CD
(Faria)
Calabi-Yau (called in the names of two mathematicians (Eugenio Calabi)
and (Shing-Tung Yau )) spaces may be that microscopic shape, deep inside
the hidden dimensions of string theory. There are many such spaces…
According to string theory, space-time isn't 4-dimensional as you might
expect, but 10-dimensional. Where are the extra six dimensions? One
answer is that they're "compactified": roughly speaking, rolled up into
such a small space as to be unobservable at human scales.

You are in the forest, it is night, and in a moment you are in space,
exploring the phenomena, for which there is no explanation and knowledge
in our days…And You hear the sound of loquacious water far away from
You. The sky is in front of You…You can observe all the planets to be
clearly. And there are plenty of animals around You, which You‘ve never
seen before, which are so close, that they are almost touching You.
Thought is equal to movement, there is no difference between them. There
is only one way to understand these visions… It is possible because of
«calabi-yau», spontaneous movements and feelings inside myriads of spaces…

CISFINITUM: TACTIO, CD
(Mechanoise Labs)
Tactio is the live recording of a Cisfinitum concert at the St. Petri
Dom (St. Peter's Cathedral) in Bremen, on November 24, 2005. The
particular (and as expected highly favorable) acoustics of this
environment were consistently used not only as an enhancing effect but
as an integral foundation for the performance, making it unmistakably
tied to its context. Presented in the form of six continuous tracks, the
album is a contemplative composition of vibrant drones, reverberating
bells and synthesized resonance, gracefully evolving from the celestial
tones of its start to the tellurian pulses of its climax. This is a
piece of work that is elaborate in its simplicity, and it's with much
appreciation that it is presented here today. The beautiful iconic
artwork by Evgeny Kuprienko further emphasizes the relic-like qualities
of this recording.

COLLOQUIO: SI MUOVE E RIDE, CD

There's something more than mere "music" in his records and there's more

how touching, beautiful and moving COLLOQUIO's music is, but it is
frankly useless. Those who are aware of the stature of this band, will
greatly enjoy. The other ones, well........

FABIO ORSI: FIND ELECTRONICA, CD
(A Silent Place)
"In only two years of work Fabio Orsi has achieved critique and fans,
imposing his name as one of the most promising and representative of the
entire Italian independent scene. A drift began with the excellent vinyl
LP "Osci" (SmallVoices 2005), followed by the famous split CD "For Alan
Lomax" (A Silent Place, 2006) together with Italian My Cat is an Alien
and a couple of cooperations with Gianluca Becuzzi: "Muddy Speaking
Ghosts Through My Machines" (A Silent Place 2006) e "The Stones Know
Everything" (Digitalis Industries 2007). Today, as final confirmation of
his talent, A Silent Place is proud to present this new Fabio Orsi solo.
"Find Electronica" is a wonderful album finely full of lyric, structured
as a long drone/ambient suite divided in two portions which are the
frames of the articulated central track. A strictly personal exercise on
the "Weird Folk" theme, hypnotic and seductive. The "found" electronica
meets the humoral sonorities made by the six chords, projecting
enchanted landscapes on a vibrant horizon, with an intimate sensibility.
Abstract and emotional, deep and dreamy, "Find Electronica" is a great
album: an essential step in the ascending Fabio's career. Another
great/small gem from that "silent place" in the deep Italian South."

FABIO ORSI & GIANLUCA BECUZZI: MUDDY SPEAKING GHOSTS THROUGH MY
MACHINES, CD
(A Silent Place)
Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines' is the brand new album
released together by Fabio Orsi and Gianluca Becuzzi. This album will be
certainly followed by other cooperations, considering the big friendly
artistic sodality between them. Fabio e Gianluca are a strange duo,
considering the big differences of their artistic back-ground. Fabio
Orsi is a young and unexpected talent. After his first album, "Osci"
(LP, SmallVoices 2005), produced by Gianluca Becuzzi, he got a lot of
positive feedbacks, worldwide, by the most important international
media, confirmed by his second official release "For Alan Lomax" (CD, A
Silent Place 2006) splitted with cosmical Italian duo My Cat is an
Alien. Gianluca Becuzzi is a very well known character of the Italian
experimental scene since from the 80s, under many different alias.
Recently known as Kinetix, Gianluca latest release is the very well
appreciated "Memory Makes Noise" (CD, SmallVoices 2006) a great
electroacoustic pearl. The unexpected uncounter between different
forces, experiences and visions of this two artists is prefectly melted
in this album: strong and tied, an imaginary place where folkway and
research, past and present, distance and closeness, mud and clouds,
ghosts and machines meets. Shreds of ballads, guitars and old keyboards
floating on the vibrant surface of this faery river and disappear, towed
off by drones and rumors, pouring between distant voices and centenary
blues songs from the Alan Lomax archive. Raptur and sweet lostness: this
is the main sensation. It could be listed as Avant-Folk, or
Experimental-Blues, Ambient- Roots or contemporary aesthetics and aching
nostalgia...

FARYUS: LUCID DREAMS, CD
(Faria)
This album is devoted to a phenomenon of the "Lucid dreams".
A “lucid dream” - is a dream, in which the person is aware that he or
she is dreaming while the dream is in progress. During lucid dreams you
have control over the dream characters and environment, as well as the
ability to perform otherwise physically impossible feats. The feelings
which you feel during lucid dreams are very similar to those available
during a waking state. Often they surpass the 'usual' with a saturation
and intensity.

This phenomenon has been researched by such well-known researchers as
Stephen LaBerge, Robert Monroe, Carlos Castaneda, etc.. The 9th book of
Carlos Castaneda - "The Art of Dreaming" explains more fully the events
occuring within this album.

The album is conceived as travel from the moment of falling asleep up to
the depths of the infinite universe of the Dreaming: “Vivid Dream” -
this is a dream, where colours and events are extremely bright. After
awakening we never forget these dreams, it remains in the memory as a
very exciting experience. It is the first phase of lucid dreaming and
the beginning of our travel. We can then find "Clarity", passing through
the first gate of dreaming to enjoy the "Lucid Dream". Opening infinite
opportunities of the universe of dreaming we begin our "Free Flying"
obtaining the sanctum sanctorum of the dreaming universe - to the "World
of Inorganic Beings".

LUIGI TURRA: ENSO, CD
(Small Voices)
Field recording, electroacoustic, evanescent resonances, minimal acts
full of organic substances, atmospheres finely wrought in the void by
impenetrable geometries, evoking zen gardens (graphically portrayed on
the cover with a Roberto Zingales' photo). All these elements and even
more is embodied in this Luigi Turra's project published by Smallvoices.
He's a clever sound designer, modulating contrasts, and describing with
obsessive care circular universes (expressed by the Japanese language
term 'enso'). It's a project that, in settings and drafting, somehow
follows the intercultural research concerning writings and languages of
the world, previously started in projects developed together with
Gianluca Becuzzi (here he's the executive producer). Three tracks,
dilated in suggestive and aesthetic scores, escaping on one hand the
emphasis and reflecting it on the other hand like in a mirror, alerting
our listening experience on every possible tone. (Aurelio Cianciotta)

MATHIAS GRASSOW, AMIR BAGHIRI, RUDIGER GLEISBERG: ARCANUM, CD

This is rerelease of legendary masterpiece from 3 famous german composers.
"Arcanum" - it is collaboration of three different musical styles which
creates a unique arcanum of excellent music. Mathias Grassow fills
compositions his special deep mood drone ambient. Amir Baghiri adds his
hypnotic percussions and Rudiger Gleisberg plays wonderful cosmic
electronics. It will enjoyable to all music lovers!

Previously released by Amplexus label as ltd of 500 copies at 1998 and
totally sold out few years ago. Now rereleased with two bonus tracks,
and luxury pack with artworks of Markus Vogt with several cards inside.

""Arcanum" is a deep ritualistic journey from Mathias Grassow, Rudiger
Gleisberg and Amir Baghiri. The deep minimalist soundscapes reflect the
diverse influences that these three performers bring to the table.
Techno tribal passages, deep synth drones, dark atmospheres and arid
desert ethnicities fill every corner of this soundworld. The density of
the gray soundscape is otherworldly. I found myself journeying to
foreign lands and exotic locales, some beyond our atmosphere. I went
willingly as the deep rhythms and dark drones seduced me and prepared me
for anything. I had a very powerful cleansing experience. Amir's deep
desert washes, Mathias' spiritual manipulations and Rudiger's dark
drones surrounded me safely and warmly as we explored the darker sides
of my psyche. That protection empowered me to look beyond the dark to
see the light on the other side of my inner self. Finally, refreshed and
rejuvenated, we returned to the here and now. I look forward to more
journeys with this trio of master electronicians. "

MOLJEBKA PVLSE: LODE LVX, 7"
(Drone Records)
"For some years now Stockholm based artist MATHIAS JOSEFSON has
delighted the drone scene with his highly minimal excursions into drone
territory. From harsh noise to soft & gentle ambience the aim is to
reach a basic level of sound conscience. In doing so the "human mind"
and the "sound mind" interact to build a symbiotic entity. MOLJEBKA
PVLSE is Josefson’s sound art project where he often collaborates with
KARIN JACOBSON. The two pieces "lode" and "lvx" are great examples of
breathing drone structures which seem to be derived from real string or
wind instruments. Harmonic & mysterious, dense & aspiring.... this is
indeed music like a lode of illuminations... Filed under: BREATHING DRONES

possibilities of homemade software with free tools for sound
deconstrucion and realtime performance. IN & OUT is his first vinyl
release and uses a wide range of environmental recordings which are
processed digitally in more "electro-acoustic" ways. This leads to a
balance between "Drone" and "Electro-Acoustic" where the acoustic
potential of conventional reality is enlarged via digital processing. In
his own words: "It brings attention to the peripheral zones of the sound
phenomenon". Through intense mutation & deconstruction of acoustic
materials a new or previously hidden meaning can be revealed for the
blind spot of our perception. Filed under: ADVANCED ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC DRONES

PUISSANCE: MOTHER OF DISEASE, CD
(Equilibrium Music)
In the year 1999, while mankind sat unnaware of their fate and wondering
if the moon would drift away into the far reaches of space as the XXth
century came to an end, Puissance would reappear, clad in shining armour.
With the Industrial rust of early days properly polished, the Swedish
duo would further explore their talent for graceful arrangements set to
Militaristic Neo-Classical music. Following the overtly confrontational
offerings of "Let Us Lead" and "Back In Control", Puissance were now set
to resurrect the ghosts of Cold War and the obsession with all things
thermonuclear that haunted the planet - the Mother of Disease, as they
would call it - over that period. Brooding hymns to suicidal heroism,
devotional praises to a new god that would finally bring closure to the
human race, the screeching of metal twisting and melting - all of this
would find its place in Puissance's own beautiful vision of the
impending apocalypse, that they so ingeniously depict on "Mother of
Disease".

"Mother of Disease" is the third full length album produced by
Puissance, and also their third re-issue on Equilibrium Music, following
the early "Let Us Lead" and "Back In Control" releases, and last year's
new album, "Grace of God". Much like it's predecessors on this fine
collection, it has been re-mastered and enhanced with one bonus track,
presented in a matte-blue deluxe digipak edition.

there's nothing "concrete" you can hold on to; the mind & body seems to
be washed out slowly by these rustling feedbacking & deeply
reverberating overtune-waves. "Astral Death" is a journey into the
pulsating, meandering heart of disintegration.

"Behind SHRINE we find a fresh experimental drone project from Bulgaria
(currently residing in England) combining the melancholia of distorted
synths with odd micro noises & effects. The fusion of rough and
thunderous drones with hidden melodies evokes a strong emotional impact,
like the feeling of being stuck in a confusing dream. SHRINE's
philosophy shows a way to realize that what we call “reality” is to be
mistrusted based upon our usual perceptions. The distortion of this
reality opens up a chance to better understand its true essence and
confront the things that lie behind the surface. Filed under: DREAM &

TROUM: OBJECTLESSNESS, CD
(Faria)
There is a big gap between “rational”, verbal language and the
pre-symbolic language of our emotional and unconscious mind. Music is
perceived partly with our conscious mind, who can analyze it and reflect
on it. On another part, it is perceived by our unconsciousness, by our
“primal consciousness” that lies “under” the rational mind.
The idea: Experimental music, especially that of a more droning
character, can easier “get in touch” or be unconsciously connected with
this primal state of mind. It is music that is linked with unconscious
fantasies coming from a pre-verbal sphere of existence... the phase of
life based on the dyadic interaction with the “primal object”, the mother.

At this early stage, there’s no awareness existing of being a full
separated Subject, and no other full separated Objects can be perceived.
Inner and outer reality is the same. Spheric, droning, dissolving music
is pointing unconsciously at this “objectless” sphere of existence. This
release is dedicated to the idea of an especially formed “pre-symbolic”
music.

Artwork conception contain 4 cards and cover with art from english
creator Pete Burn.

brings 4 compositions in 67 minutes and comes in nice 6 panels
digisleeve and is limited on 600 copies.

Arkhangelsk was recorded in Toronto, Canada in December 2007 in two
separate sessions. The first consisted of improvisational performances
on drumset and guitar and the second consisted of layering percussion,
electronics, and woodwind tracks on those original drum/guitar tracks.
Both sessions were done in real-time in single takes with a minimum of
post-production editing or manipulation in an effort to capture the
spontaneity of the performances. As such, Arkhangelsk maintains the
typical ARC sound while simultaneously exploring more adventurous
poly-rhythms and textures, combining influence/inspiration from such
artists as Flyer Saucer Attack, The Boredoms, Tribes of Neurot, and Rapoon.

AUBE: LE SYNDROME AQUATIQUE, 2 CD
(Silentes)
This is the long awaited reissue of one of the best Aube’s work
originally titled AQUA SYNDROME, published about 10 years ago by
MANIFOLD records. The new reissue included the original album with a
bonus track and a bonus live CD. LE SYNDROME AQUATIQUE is an impressive
job of deconstruction and resetting of sonorous material to work of
Aube, this particularly extended in the duration, treaty and expanded
time, much to be proposed in a rich edition in double CD. Through
sophisticated and very tested technical of sonorous rework assembled in
years of untiring activity in a searching experience, Aube puts molding
on and models fragments of concrete sounds of "aquatic" derivation
transforming them in unknown drones, noises, pads, loops rhythms

BROKEN DIODE: SCREAMING ON THE INSIDE, CD-R
(Existest Establishment)
"Screaming On The Inside is a term I’ve used more than once to describe
a suffocating barrage of trapped emotions and frustrations. Each of the
seven tracks here gives a voice to these feelings. Although initially
sounding like a wall of analogue noise and tortured machinery on the
verge of collapse and total breakdown, closer inspection reveals a host
of intricately woven textures. Vocals appear just long enough to inject
a human element into the machine chaos, before being swept away in the
flood of frequency destruction, often torn into ragged shapes which in
turn become something less than human. Brief moments of calm, and by
brief I really do mean brief, are punctuated by growling basses which
inevitably become part of something larger and dirtier without losing
enough form to be completely swamped. ... This is a fine, fine piece of
work. An almost cathartic listening experience at times and executed
with a vitriolic pride." (Heathen Harvest)

GLOBAL SYSTEMS SILENTLY MOVING: ALTERING THE AIR, CD
(Silentes)
Quiet, flowing, rivers of murky low-fi atmospheric haze, with deep,
distant, sub-bass pulses that seem to come from underground. Waves of
shortwave noise roll up to the listeners feet like water on the shore.
Introspective movements to get lost in. Repetitious, hypnotic sequences
transmitted from an ethereal universe. All-pervading, and infinitely
elastic. Widescreen glimpses into seven perpetually moving soundscapes
that have no beginnings or ends. Epic patterns... rolling until the end
of time. Lost souls wandering in a dense audio-fog. These are archival
analog recordings made in Detroit (1996), and seem to be somehow
affiliated with the 'deepchord brotherhood' (recorded by/produced by
DC), however... the actual artist here is not completely clear.

MAOR APPELBAUM \ HOLLOWING: COLLABORATING TORTURE, CD
(Topheth Prophet)
Collaborating Torture is one of the last known recordings made by Matt
Gibney AKA Hollowing, who died in January 2006. Gibney, a member of
SOIHADTOSHOOTHIM who was also running the important Rectrix label and
mail-order, was joined here by the prolific Maor Appelbaum (Grave in the

SINKE DUS: AKRASIA, CD
(Cyclic Law)
krasia is an old question dealing with the weakness of the will. To
behave "akratically" is when one acts against his better judgement,
committing acts that are known to be wrong but yet still going through
with the motion. Markus Lonebrink wanted to explore not so much the
philosophical issues at hand, but rather the subjective experience of
akrasia itself. To learn of the underlying motives of when one acts
akratically. Certain events in the akratic process felt natural to him
and it was those he tried to integrate into these soundscapes. There are
no conclusions described in the music, but there might be a glimmer of
light at the end of the tunnel and perhaps the shadow of a hint of why
we humans sometimes act as irrationally as we do. A shared quest to gain
better knowledge of oneself through this self-revisionistic ambient
journey filled with ethereally lush passages that give way to a truly
visionary and immersive experience. The album also features a special
collaboration with Pär Bostrom of KAMMARHEIT.

aurally materialized glimpse of his numerous stargazing evenings...where

CATACLYST: MONUMENTS OF A RUBICUND AGE, CD
(Tantric Harmonies)
A strange project that for a moment united Peter Andersson (raison
d'etre) and Johanna Rosenqvist (ex-Institut, Koeff) in the distant 1992.
Cataclyst's music combines the melancholic beauty of early raison d'etre
and Necrophorus, harsh industrial rhythms of Institut and
tribal-elements of another undeservingly forgotten project of Peter -
Svasti-Ayanam... What differs this product from other works of Swedish
industrial scene masters is the atmosphere of remote fairy worlds in
which you smoothly sink into while listening to "Monuments of a Rubicund
Age". Peter and Johanna have woven an infinite labyrinth of mirages,
walking through which will be a pleasant surprise for both the fans of
ambient / experimental / industrial and more conservative gothic lovers.
The first edition of the album was published by Peter's own label Yantra
Atmospheres in 1999 and was limited to 100 copies. This reissue has been
made by joint efforts of the labels Tantric Harmonies and Zhelezobeton,
it contains a shorter version of the album's last piece + bonus-track.
Original photographs are made by Pavel Bourchenko.

DEAD BEAT PROJECT: BREAKING THE SHELL, CD

9 tracks featuring memorable shards of drifting industrial electronica,
filtering through a gush of amnesiac inducing ambience - running
parallel alongside Gallic rhythmic interjections.

A reminiscence to the glorious and majestic rhythms of In The Nursery,
Skinny Puppy, Biosphere, The Anti-Group Collaborative, Morthound…
“Breaking The Shell” is a paradox within which time stands motionless. A
visit to both the past and the future - the dark and the light - the
twisted and the sincere - the odorous and the beautiful..

Dark ambient neo-classical industrial electronica at its finest -
beautiful in its initial radiance, yet sinister within its obscure shadows.

A melancholic soundtrack for the erudite listener..

Hanna Hartman seeks to reveal hidden correspondences between the most
diverse auditive impressions and in new constellations she creates
extraordinary worlds of sound.

HATI: MANTRA-I - PREHISTORY OF HATI: VOL. 1, CD-R
(Eter)
"Quite recently Polish Hati did a small tour together with z'ev. No
doubt Hati is one of those bands that use concerts to sell CDs and
perhaps for that reason they released these three CDRs. Hati is a drone
group who use a variety of instruments: animal horns, bamboo pipes,
steel jingle bells, wooden pipe, plastic tubes, cymbal, steel lids, wood
wind chimes, and much more and the outcome is both atmospheric and
occasionally rhythmic. On 'Mantra-I: Prehistory Of Hati: Vol. 1' we are
transported back to the past, to the very first sessions by Hati in
1997. Here they still use loops, guitar, effects, voice, found objects
and a drum machine. Especially the drum machine makes a big mark on the
music. It rambles on like there is no end. The entire sound spectrum is
smeared with sound effects. Very trance like, but for the weak of mind,
this can turn out to be a bad head trip. Sometimes a bit noisy, but such
as in 'Suntan 1' a nice cross-over between the old zoviet*france and the
more recent Troum." [Frans de Waard,VITAL WEEKLY, number 556]

HENRIK SUMMANEN: THE GREAT ATTRACTOR, CD-R
(Ahasverus)
Henrik Summanen keeps publishing music at an ever-increasing pace. And
as long as the quality is on this level, I have absolutely no complaints
about that. Just like the artist's other recent works, this too falls
somewhere on the gray area between electro-acoustic and drone-ambient.
With the use of small, wonderfully echoing structures Summanen creates
the feel of a cold, hall-like space. It is a soundscape in which every
piece seems immensely important and meaningful. The best example of this
effect is in the title track, which grows from small drops to a wide,
but not at all massive range of drones.

The more landscaping "Out of Orbit" is definitely less interesting, even
colder in feel and far more direct - but it's still a good track. "White
Hole" is again much stronger. It's clearly more spatial than the opening
track, making it sound like an echo in emptiness. A subdued alternation
between pauses and structures keeps it fascinating all the way. The
album's second gem is its final track, "Southern Wall", an oppressive
return to the elements used in the beginning. The tone is a bit warmer
this time, though, and the feel is of a slightly smaller space.

The Great Attractor consists of beautiful pieces at all times, yet the
sum is even more gorgeous. It is also far better and more impressive
than the previous work of this artist (the rather boring "Cave songs"
ep, 2006). I hope this won't be left as just a rare delicacy for a very
small audience.

An excellent album. [Jiituomas, Kuolleen Musiikin Yhdistys]

JENS HEDMAN / PAULINA SUNDIN: CURRENTS, CD
(Elektron Records)
CURRENTS (by Jens Hedman and Paulina Sundin) is a musical tribute to our
hometown, Stockholm, portraying the flows and streams in the city from
four different sound perspectives. The work also deals with the changing
seasons and different times of day. It was composed at EMS in Stockholm
and all the sound material was recorded in the city and its districts
using a Neumann kunstkopf microphone. The first two parts were composed
in 1996 and the remaining two in 1998. Each of the four sections can
also be played separately as short electroclips.

The first performance of Currents was at "Hey Listen", the international
sound conference for acoustic ecology arranged by the Swedish Royal
Academy of Music together with World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE)
and Stockholm European Capital of Culture 1998. Since then the piece has
been performed frequently at concerts and has also been used by other
artists, such as the Basle Dance Company, which added choreography to
the piece during ISCM World Music Days 2000 in Luxembourg. The architect
NN created a visual interpretation of Currents for Galleri NN during the
UNM Festival in Gothenburg in 1999. Currents is available in three
different versions: 2-channel, 8-channel and 12-channel. The 12-channel
version was specially made for the open-air pavilion, Elektrofonen,
created by Jens Hedman and Christian H–rgren.

Elektrofonen, which is mobile, has toured Sweden and could be seen,
among other places, at Stockholm Water Festival in 1999. The 8-channel
version has been performed at ACMC in Wellington, New Zealand and at the
Rien - Voir Festival in Canada in 1999.

RUNE LINDBLAD: DIE STILLE LIEBE, CD
(Elektron Records)
This lovingly curated double disc retrospective of previously unreleased
works by the Swedish electronic pioneer Rune Lindblad (1923-1991) is a
difficult listen, it must be said, but the jarring, ugly, tuneless music
captured here gives an interesting insight into the world of a man who
in some circles (fairly obscure ones admittedly) is lauded as one of the
true giants of twentieth century music. Lindblad, in his early years,
worked in isolation, seemingly unaware of the conflict between the
Cologne school of electronic music, championed by Stockhausen and
Koenig, and the Paris school of musique concrete, of which Henry and
Schaeffer were leading exponents. In 1956, prompted by a sudden
awareness of these workstreams, both of which could be compared to his
own compositions, Lindblad put on a concert of musique concrete in
Gothenburg, together with Bruno Epstein and Sven-Eric Johansson. The
sleeve notes to these discs tell the story. "This was the first concert
of its kind ever in Gothenburg, and caused a scandal. The audience got
angry and aggressive when they heard the experimental music and
afterwards demanded their money back. The concert was totally slated by
the press, one reporter describing it as pure torture". This about sums
it up actually. Some of the tracks presented here - 1973's
'Associationer', for instance - are pretty much unlistenable. This is
not to say that they are bad. In fact large parts of this appeal to me
very much indeed. The compositions are extreme, in the same way that
Karel Appel's "Questioning Children" is an extreme painting, or
Peckinpah's Straw Dogs is an extreme film. They are not there to be
enjoyed. They are there to be endured. And therein lies the
satisfaction. Anybody with the faintest interest in electronic music
should listen to these discs at least once, if only to put Lindblad's
successors - from Merzbow to Autechre, from Eric La Casa to Sonic Youth
- into context. I have to confess that when I received this disc I had
never heard of Rune Lindblad: now, hearing his works, I am in awe of
him. [Fluxeuropa]

TOMAS BJELKEBORN: PAST TIME, CD
(Elektron Records)
Past Time is a selection of compositions by Thomas Bjelkeborn between
the years 1987-1996. All of them are highly artificial-sounding pieces
of electro-acoustic avant-garde, with some short but effective vocal
clips in them. In keeping with the genre, the material is highly
disjointed, and I for one couldn't get any real grip on it despite
several (17 full listen-throughs, to be exact) attempts. The segments
each track is formed of come in short, dissimilar burst that are hard to
concentrate on. Yet at the same time the number of elements is low
enough to prevent the formation of a wall of noise -effect out of the
diversity. The are several absolutely wonderful parts, but those are
hard to wait for amidst the chaotic whole - especially since the
shortest of the tracks is almost 9 minutes long, and the great segments
just a few seconds at most each. A fascinating exception to this is a
brilliant two-minute wave of noise at the end of the Beatles-ish named
Within Without, an example of noise music at its best. In the end, Past
Time leaves me absolutely cold. Nevertheless its combination of
stylishness, excellent echo structure and the exemplary sound production
quality common to Elektron's records hints very much that it might be an
album many fans of electro-acoustic music would enjoy a lot. It's seems
to be a high-quality work that's just not to my personal taste.

WEREJU: THROUGH THE DEPTHS OF UNKNOWING, 2 X CD
(Electric Requiems)
Eerie, droning ambient soundscapes from Ireland, of all places -- two
cds worth, in fact, although the total running time is under an hour.
(Yes, I know that doesn't make sense -- don't look at me, I'm an
innocent bystander here.) The sound falls somewhere between the more
abstract work of Aidan Baker and the epic fall-of-drone works of Fear
Falls Burning -- it's all gliding instrumental melancholy and heavily
processed guitar, dark soundscapes that resemble the ambient sound of
waves crashing on a distant shore while trawler horns bleat in the fog,
or perhaps the hollow and disquieting sound reverberating through the
subterranean tunnels surrounding the river Styx. There's a soothing
quality to the depressed drone, though, with pleasing sonorous tones and
an elegaic feel to most of the material, a sound that's every bit as
intriguing as it is meditative. This is music for mystical journeys
through darkened inner landscapes -- with stark and brooding artwork to
match -- that should hold plenty of appeal for droning dark ambient
enthusiasts.

AIDAN BAKER: EXOSKELETON HEART, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
Following up his amazing Periodic disc that was issued through Crucial
Bliss two years ago, acclaimed Toronto drone-guitarist Aidan Baker is
back with Exoskeleton Heart, his newest entry into our ongoing Crucial
Bliss series. And this 2-track, hour long excursion into deep feedback
bliss is stunningly beautiful. Split into two halves, "Interior" and
"Anterior", Baker once again taps into his visions of the bodycage using
only his electric guitar, performed and recorded live; the result is an
evocative feedback-heavy dronescape drifting with the gritty hum of the
amplifier, layers of shimmering, chiming feedback, crushing distorted
ambient dirge that borders on Sunn O)))-levels of sonic weight, and
shafts of elegiac melody breaking through the stormclouds of Baker's
cavernous rumbling like rays of sunlight. Aidan Baker is without
question the North American counterpart to the Tuetonic guitar drones of
Troum, and Exoskeleton Heart delivers some of his most massive,
meditative, crushing, and beautiful subterranean drift yet. Hell, the
final 10 minutes of "Anterior" is without questions one of the most
beautiful things we have ever presented through this label, an angelic
glacial melody that builds inexorably into a wall of blissed out fuzz a
la something you'd expect from Aidan's dronesludge band Nadja.
Essential. The disc comes in a full-color signature Crucial Bliss
foldover sleeve with the disc affixed to a plastic hub on the interior
of the sleeve, and has been pressed in a limited edition of 300 copies.

PRICE: 8 €


BARDOSENETICCUBE + NOISES OF RUSSIA: NEW ORTHODOX LINE, CD
(Some Place Else)
New Orthodox Line brings together two of the most notable Russian
post-industrial / experimental groups: Bardoseneticcube and Noises of
Russia. This unique collaboration stirs the best of both artists to
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, the opposites unite with
passion and compliment each other for the sake of the greater good, the
synergetic New Orthodox Line.

PRICE: 12 €


BEAUFORT: ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK BY ISHAI ADAR, CD
(Ak-Duck)
Ak-Duck proudly presents the soundtrack to "Beaufort" - the 2007
Berlinale Film Festival, Silver-Bear winner for best director. The
soundtrack was composed by the pioneer Israeli electronic artist Ishai
Adar which was one of the founders of cult Israeli experimental pop band
"The Top-Hat Carriers". Shortly after leaving the band, Adar launched
various musical collaborations such as: SSP with
artist/musician/choreographer Ohad Pishof and Two Tall Men with
DJ/producer Yoav B (Delsin). In 1997 he released "Her", his debut solo
album under the name Oosh. "Her" fused Dance and Electronics and was a
time defying listening experience – an album which transcends
technological and fashion trends. During that period, Adar began
specializing in sound and music design for video-art, cinema and
television soundtracks. "Beaufort" is Adar's second motion picture
soundtrack. A dark and gloomy affair that hybrids between processed
digital sounds, warm ambient scapes & light touches of 70's Progressive
Rock. For Fans of Philip Jack, Biosphere & William Basinski.

BRANDKOMMANDO: MC FUCK, CD-R
(Mask of the Slave)

CHEFKIRK: MEGA CHUFFED, CD-R
(Mask of the Slave)
chefkirk is Roger H. Smith. Working under the inclusive category of
experimental noise, chefkirk creates distinctive compositions of sound
by combining together improvised drone and harsh electronics forced from
a minimal arsenal of glitchy instruments and feedback loops. Being a
socially and politically conscious citizen of the world, chefkirk
illustrates his deep concern and love for all living things through the
artwork, titles, and modest messages on his numerous releases. The whole
of his work will unquestionably carry his personal message loudly:
animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for
entertainment, GO VEGAN!
CD-r in DVD case with pro-cover, limited to 100 copies

PRICE: 8 €


GELSOMINA + NO XIVIC: FURNACE, CD
(Some Place Else)
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, and thus a fine completion of Some Place
Else's tenth year of activity.

PRICE: 12 €

of IP space. 40 minutes of forceful, monolithic frequencies and heavy

HEAVY WINGED: FEEL INSIDE, CD
(Archivecd)
Brand new three trax release from Portland/ Brooklyn based unit which
comes on the heels of the bands recently re-issue disc, and highly
excellent three lobed release “blacc lust”, comes three long playing
journeys into psych noise dronedom. I’m not a huge fan of the press
release description game where the label goes on to babble and make
absurd quotes like “sounds like every band that has sold a shit load of
records this past month if you combine sunno))) with your mamma then you
know exactly how great this record is”. I’d just like to humbly state to
me it comes off like the Bardo Pond brothers recording in the lo-fi high
fuzz induced kitchen of the Goslings. All label claims aside listen to
the clip!! PACKAGE comes packed in a double cover center opening sleeves
with the outer shell being a vellum overlay wonderfully executed
graphically by Chasse Middaugh. Single pressing of 600 copies.

KENJI SIRATORI: BRAIN FUCKER, CD-R
(Mask of the Slave)
Born March 13, 1975, in Chitose, Hokkaido, Japan, Kenji Siratori is a
cyberpunk author and internet self-promoter. He first gained attention
in 2006 by writing to as many industrial, ambient, EBM and goth bands he
could find, including "reviews" of them in his idiosyncratic style, and
asking to collaborate. His scattergun approach proved successful,
despite his reviews of non-sequitirs and non-sensical cyberspeak being
interchangeable, and a slew of collaborations from flattered musicians
were soon foisted upon the world. Japanese Noise with PE elements, full
length album!
CD-r in DVD case with pro-cover, limited to 100 copies.

PRICE: 8 €


LIGHT OF SHIPWRECK: FROM THE IDLE CYLINDERS, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
Light Of Shipwreck is a one-man band operated by Ben Fleury-Steiner, a
Deleware-based drone artist and owner of the excellent Gears of Sand
Recordings imprint, which has released discs from some of our favorite
ambient/drone/drift artists including Encomiast, Cordell Klier, and
Aidan Baker. It was actually through Aidan Baker that we found out about
Ben's Light Of Shipwreck project; knowing that we're fanatics for "heavy
ambient" sound, Light Of Shipwreck was recommended as something we
should check out. At first expecting something more along the lines of
the kind of floating ambient rumble that marks so much of my favorite
Baker solo stuff, I was pleasantly surprised by how percussive the
tracks I heard online from LOS were, the dense, ominous feedback drones
and heavy rumbling ur-riffs floating freely over a mechanistic
tribal-rhythm freakout. We ended up getting in touch with Ben from Light
Of Shipwreck and it turned out that he had a nearly hour-long disc that
he wanted to have released through our Crucial Bliss imprint, and here
we are: a three-track full length of rich, crushing power-ambient,
titled From The Idle Cylinders, a reference to the American Objectivist
poet George Oppen whose work is a consistent influence on Light Of
Shipwreck's imagery, with huge slabs of resonant sheet metal shimmering
in an ocean of heavenly feedback and reverberating guitar drone, and
surges of droning tribal Krautrock percussion floating along with
distorted ambient doom powerchords and washed out vocal cord bliss, each
track running upwards of 20 minutes in length. A totally breathtaking
piece of music, like Steve Reich, Brian Eno, Can, and Earth swirled
together into an austere, hypnotizing heavy-trance masterpiece. This
limited edition CD-R of From The Idle Cylinders comes packaged in the
signature Crucial Bliss foldover card sleeve with the disc itself
attached to the sleeve on a plastic hub and featuring striking photo
design, in a print run of 200 copies.

PRICE: 8 €


LUASA RAELON: INTO THE VOID, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
Finally, after a pronounced delay, we're presenting the latest in grim,
Cthulhian ambient death from David Reed, the man behind the Snip-Snip
CD-R label and the ice-drones of Envenomist. With Luasa Raelon, Reed
uses deep-frozen synthesizers and electronics to construct pitch-black
sonic sculptures that evoke lost cities carved from obsidian whose
masterless machines have been left to grind on into eternity, or
descents into stygian pits whose bottoms cannot be gauged. Into The Void
is the newest masterwork from Reed, recorded in 2006 and presented here
as a five-chapter narrative that chronicles a doomed space exploration,
where all that is left are the faint transmissions of apocalyptic dread
drifting back at us through time. Beyond ominous, and gorgeously eerie,
Reed continues to craft some of the blackest, heaviest drift this side
of Gruntsplatter, Troum, Lull, Yen Pox, Melek-Tha, Lustmord, and
Megaptera. Into The Void has been released in an edition of 200 copies,
packaged in the signature Crucial Bliss foldover sleeve with the disc
attached to the interior on a plastic hub, and featuring some of our
best Bliss artwork yet, which David described as looking like 70's
science-fiction art.

PRICE: 8 €


LUMINOUS: LINKS, CD

NETHERWORLD: KALL: THE ABYSS WHERE DREAMS FALL, CD
(Angle.Rec)
Always concerned with pushing even further its explorations on the side
of ‘’drone’’ drifts, angleREC adds to its parallel series, that is the
MONDES ELLIPTIQUES label, a new release in the form of the first
official CD production of Italian project NETHERWORLD. This CD has the
rather evocative title of ''KALL - The Abyss Where Dreams Fall''.
Alessandro Tedeschi’s project previously gained a fair share of
attention with CDR or mini-CDR releases on fine labels such as UMBRA,
GEARS OF SAND, TAALEM/KOKESHIDISK! Alessandro also runs the GLACIAL
MOVEMENTS label, which gave us, in 2006, the acclaimed CRYOSPHERE
compilation. In a tradition that is anchored, at the same time, in
avant-garde, ritual soundz and dark-ambient, with a typically Italian
touch, NETHERWORLD gives a peculiarly and elegantly organic and palpable
feel to sounds that, in the hands of others, would maybe fall flat …and
it is as if the sound universe conjured by the magic of NETHERWORLD was
strangely…how could one say? OCCUPIED. Each moment, eac h twist and turn
of this sound adventure bears infinite richness and elasticity, at all
times …those are rather ‘busy’ sound layers but each of the elements has
sufficient breathing space and can differentiate itself from the other
surrounding components. This antagonism represents one of NETHERWORLD’s
greatest strengths. Another noteworthy antagonism: this tendency to
propose us ambiences that are excessively introspective, subdued,
withdrawn into themselves, but which, at the same time, expand, subtly
dilate to occupy an incommensurable space. Upon the first notes (or
pulses??) of the opening track, ‘’KALL’’, this infinite abyss, envelops
us and our dreams sink, dissolve, reinvent themselves…The sound
propositions found on’’KALL’’ have enough movement and density to please
the ones fond of depth in their music, but the overall ‘purified’ feel
will please the most discerning purist. For the occasion, MONDES
ELLIPTIQUES once again used the mastering talents of JOHN SELLEKAERS @
METARC and it is CHRISTIAN SA LETTE who put his savoir-faire in our
service for the design of the sleeve and images. Limited to 441 copies!
Deluxe cardboard sleeve.

PRICE: 12 €


NO XIVIC: YKSITYISYYS, CD
(Onyxia)
After three years of austerity and hard work, "Yksityisyys" finally
cracks the living daylight. H. Kyllönen's second coming is his most
idiosyncratic and convoluted album to date, hence the title "Yksityisyys".
"Yksityisyys" is the quality present in a thing or person that gives
intense pleasure & deep satisfaction to the mind, arising from sensory
manifestations (such as shape, color and sound), a meaningful design and
pattern.

"Yksityisyys" provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, moments of
unpleasant and emotional states that involves a complex combination of
emotions. It may be benevolent at time, but slowly it fills the mind
with oily malignancy and drives the mind to the edge of phobia and nausea.

Containing all cognitive, somatic, emotional and behavioral components,
the manifestations are in balance and one-to-one to the subjective
experience of beauty. Don't fear the mind, take control and let the
turmoil wind it up.

SUISHOU NO FUNE: THE LIGHT OF DARK NIGHT, CD

SVASTI-AYANAM: SANKLESA, CD
(Eternal Pride)
Svasti-ayanam is Peter Andersson's foray into dark, Tibetan-Nepalese
ambience. Andersson is well known for his work as Raison D'etre, Atomine
Elektrine etc. In this incarnation, his signature Raison D'etre sound
has been modified in an incredibly pronounced, and effective way.
Sanklesa is marked by strong tribal rhythms that draw the listener into
distant, foreign, ritual soundscapes. Andersson has released a prolific
catalogue of music, that includes many CD's, limited vinyl and countless
compilation appearances. Album incl. 2 exlusive bonus-tracks.

TROUM: DARVE SH / AJIN, CD
(Nefryt)
Two rare vinyls as one CD. The ritual face of Troum! “DARVÊ SH” was
released in February 2003 as 10”-vinyl on Beta-Lactam Ring Records
(mt030) as part 10 in the “Lactamase” - series. “AJIN” was released in
December 2005 as a picture-12” vinyl on Equation Records (E=mc11). DARVÊ
SH: etymological persian source for “Dervish”, it means “doorway”
(metaphor for being between this word and the netherworld. AJIN: hebrew
for “Eye”. It also means “Colour” or “Source” and is the 16th letter of
the hebrew alphabet. The right eye that looks into the sky for
transcendence, the left eye that looks to the ground to the worg of god
(one that dances and the other that speaks) -> balance of contradictions.

Greetings All,

** Aural Hypnox News (18.02.2008)

Out Now: Halo Manash: Language of Red Goats, CD

Guided by nether nectars and dream herbs, oneiric visions and the light
of lunar tides, Halo Manash Language of Red Goats aims to be a
cartography of cavernous elemental realms and regions, sources and
springs that run deep and thick with the fluids of life, death and
dream. What was seeded at the Thin Veils has been gathered at Harvest
time, and is offered to the seeker as a libation and guide into the
ever-liminal, shrouded spaces, for dream-vigils and awakenings.

Language of Red Goats is a complete work in itself, but can also be
viewed as the first facet of a tripartite series of works that are part
of one holistic creation – three faces of the same being. More akin to a
primitive fieldrecording in the realm of oneirotropic exploration, than
an actual album, the work consists of one lengthy tripartite soundscape.
Utilizing only gongs, bells, metal bowls and wind instruments, as well
as flocks of birds, the work is in contrast to earlier more refined
works that feature a wide multiplicity of instruments and soundsources.
Language of Red Goats is a bare, primitive and sometimes raw aural
landscape, and yet nonetheless achieves a rare subliminal intensity and
an edge of otherwordly luminosity.

Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet, in an edition of 920 copies.

Price (within European Union) 15 € (1st class airmail included).
Price (other countries) 17 € (1st class airmail included).
Hinta Suomen sisällä 13 € (sisältää postimaksut).

The album will be available soon from several distribution services
worldwide.

ARKTAU EOS released the debut album “Mirrorion” on AURAL HYPNOX in the
solar blaze of Midsummer 2006, but in essence, exists outside and beyond
mere musical parameters as an arena of manifestation for the dreams and
desires of its creators and their patron spirits, streaming forth from
the Void through myriads of hidden pathways. A religion without name, a
liturgy in elemental language; ARKTAU EOS is many things and thus may
shift between several mediums – these dates mark our first foray into
live musical environment outside of our hermitage. If the stars be
right, you shall dream as we do.


**

HALO MANASH is an entity that took its shape and shadow in Finland in
the late 90's, manifesting itself through Elemental music. Sounds and
visions born from raw experience, from being devoured and born anew,
from the great heights and deepest depths, that take the form of music,
images and artifacts. Utilizing primarily organic soundsources (such as
bones and horns), various traditional and self-made instruments, as well
as the Elemental sounds themselves, combined in an electronic medium,
Halo Manash music ranges from serene serpentine ambient to frenzied and
possessive outpourings of rythmic chaos and thunder - an unleashing of
primal ecstacy.

Rather than a group or band in any traditional sense, Halo Manash is an
entity, a being in and of itself. And as all things pulsating with life
and death and dreams, Halo Manash is constantly shedding its skin and
remains in a state of never-ending metamorphosis, toward ever clearer
forms, deeper shades and the Void beyond All. Thus, the personae
involved in Halo Manash is not central - rather it is the face of Halo
Manash itself that is at the heart of all. The members of Halo Manash
are the Dream that It dreams, the mask that It wears.

Each Halo Manash performance is a unique time-bound manifestation and
work of creation/destruction in itself, rather than being merely a
repetition of already created works. Halo Manash seeks to trancend the
boundaries of ordinary live-shows by creating an intense and
multi-sensory experience, both for the audience and for Halo Manash itself.


**

Since 1995 Jaakko Vanhala has been making experimental music of an
electronic bent. The latest phase of this work has been named Zoät-Aon,
and under this title two full-length albums have been released ('Star
Autopsy' in 2005 and 'The Triplex Bestial' in 2006).

The soundwork on the albums is multifaceted, dynamic and organically
shifting soundscapes created by a mixture of modern and archaic
techniques common to electro-acoustic music, musique concrete, ambient,
ethnic and ritual music.

As the studio and live material are heard in different settings, there
is a slight, intentional aural difference between them. However, the
ultimate aim remains the same: to create a space in which both the
operators and the audience have an experience that is assumed to
intensify the discovery and assimilation of the repressed aspects of
'reality' in a creative sense.

Live: Elementaali-iltama: Tuliheinävalvojaiset:

Time: Lauantai 29.9.2007, klo. 20.00 - 01.00
Location: Villa Pukkila, Paattikuja 4, Hietasaari, Oulu

At the opaque apex of of Autumn, Aural Holograms (Arktau Eos, Halo
Manash, Tiermes) will gather to perform at this one-of-a-kind event.

The event aims to be a holistic creation, guided by acoustic sounds and
visceral visions. It aims to provide the participants (both performes
and audience alike) with an unique experience of time and space, born
from reflections of the seen and shrouded worlds.

Seeking to transcend both club-shows and art-installations, there is no
stage, and members of the audience are free to choose where to stand,
sit or lie during the unfolding of the evening (either on the ground
floor of the Villa Pukkila or outside by the fires). Likewise, the
perfomers themselves will sometimes be visible, and at other times stay
hidden for the audience.

The Elemental Evening is open to people by invitation only - You are
invited. No alcohol will be served, so the audience is asked to bring
with them what they may want to enjoy.

Tickets are 5 euros, and the price includes a printed leaflet expounding
on the events taking place.

Welcome!

New arrivals in the BSAH distribution on-line store (9.9.2007)


AUDELA: AUDELA, CD
(Plague Recordings)
Audela's debut CD. All tracks made between 1992-2007. 79 minutes of
gloomy ambient inspired by Jupiter's Great Red Spot, an ongoing storm
first glimpsed 400 years ago.

PRICE: 10 € / $


CATACLYST: MONUMENTS OF A RUBICUND AGE, CD
(Zhelezobeton / Tantric Harmonies)
A strange project that for a moment united Peter Andersson (raison
d'etre) and Johanna Rosenqvist (ex-Institut, Koeff) in the distant 1992.
Cataclyst's music combines the melancholic beauty of early raison d'etre
and Necrophorus, harsh industrial rhythms of Institut and
tribal-elements of another undeservingly forgotten project of Peter -
Svasti-Ayanam... What differs this product from other works of Swedish
industrial scene masters is the atmosphere of remote fairy worlds in
which you smoothly sink into while listening to "Monuments of a Rubicund
Age". Peter and Johanna have woven an infinite labyrinth of mirages,
walking through which will be a pleasant surprise for both the fans of
ambient / experimental / industrial and more conservative gothic lovers.
The first edition of the album was published by Peter's own label Yantra
Atmospheres in 1999 and was limited to 100 copies. This reissue has been
made by joint efforts of the labels Tantric Harmonies and Zhelezobeton,
it contains a shorter version of the album's last piece + bonus-track.
Original photographs are made by Pavel Bourchenko.

PRICE: 12 € / $


CIRCULAR: SHAPING THE UNKNOWN, CD
(Loki Foundation)
This debut defines an opulent style of meditative ambient music and
celebrates the pure sound engines of perfect analogue synthesizer music.
Johannes Riedel created an elegant and stylish form of drone music to
build ellipses inbetween sculptures blowing through the triangular
center. These aural paintings uncover sacred landscapes of drifting
loops and the brilliant use of guitars to set up an unearthly visionary
wall of sound. Circular's music disposes a special principle where
tracks build up slowly and take the period of concentration, of taking
shape, followed by overwhelming massive soundworlds from outer states.
Digipak.

PRICE: 12 € / $


DESTRUCTO SWARMBOTS: CLEAR LIGHT, CD
(Public Guilt)
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.

PRICE: 12 € / $


ERTHAD: GMA, CD-R
(Zhelezobeton)
Russian project Erthad, originating from Kazan, exists since late
90-ies, but until now still hasn't made any official releases and
preferred to stay in underground, recording music only for himself and
his friends. We have been endeavouring to change this situation for a
long time and now we're glad to present this wonderful disk to your
attention. "Gma" was recorded in 2002 with the use of voice and software
noise synthesizers. If one says that the album's style is called
"ambient noise" - is to say almost nothing. The disk has very specific
atmosphere: this is a noise meditation, calm and detached from emotional
fuss. An intuitive electronic pulse synchronizes with brain frequencies,
rising and falling waves of non-aggressive white noise pacify thoughts,
and constantly rustling high frequencies when listened to attentively
evoke dissotiative sensation, dissolving perception in the sonic field.
However, everything as always depends on a listener himself.

PRICE: 7 € / $


FIRST LAW: CHAOS STRUCTURE, CD
(Loki Foundation)
The 5th full-length album from First Law surprises once again with a
huge amount of stylistic variety and proof that he is the ultimate
cosmonaut of the inner spheres... "Chaos Structure" is an hallucinogenic
maelstrom, every note and sound telling a different story taking the
listener on a journey through unseen areas of modulation and alienated
reality. All compositions are cautiously built to create a majestic
flowing soundworld full of structures and outstanding melodies layered
with percussion and rhythm.

PRICE: 12 € / $


HERBST9 vs Z’EV: THROUGH BLEAK LANDSCAPES, CD
(Loki Foundation)
With this stunning collaboration the dark cavernous drones and
ethnic-ritual instrumentation of Herbst 9 melts with the complex and
percussive sounds of industrial pioneer and master of rhythmata Z´ev.
Ten tracks of deep spheres and blazing luminescence will propel you into
a swirling void of aural effects and demonic resonance. Both projects
worked with the raw material of each other while the final mix was made
by Herbst 9. The result is a sombre and meditative soundtrack
constructed with gongs, choral textures, deep vibrating strings and
scraping sounds-effects reaching a climax with an outburst of
tribalistic sequences and rhythmic percussion. An impressive and
gripping journey through bleak landscapes and abandoned places.
Accompanied by a 24 page booklet. [Info by Projekt]

PRICE: 12 € / $


LIETTERSCHPICH: I CUM BLOOD IN THE THINK TANK, CD
(Topheth Prophet / HCB Records)
If Mark Stewart was joining Khanate and Bad Brains were playing black
metal, there's a slight chance that a resemblance to what Lietterschpich
(Hebrew for Liter of Cum) has achieved with their debut album will
arise. This bleak digital-doom-dub shriek is bound to slap the hard-core
fans of innovative harsh music Ð It doesn't get more extreme than this!
Featuring members of Barbara and Grave in the Sky, this is highly
recommended if you like Throbbing Gristle, Volt, Stallagh, Menstruation
Sisters and White Mice. Roughly an hour of DOOM NOISE TERROR, roughly an
hour, 999 copies.

PRICE: 12 € / $


MAEROR TRI: THE BEAUTY OF SADNESS, CD
(Tantric Harmonies)
"The Beauty Of Sadness" appeared in February 1996 as cassette-only
release on the cassette-only label Direction Music from Wales, run by
Peter Harrison, and was available for some years, before Peter sadly
died in the year 2000. This was Maeror Tris 11th full-length tape, and
appeared in 1996 only shortly before their disbandment... The
bonus-track "Immersion In Emotion" was recorded 10/1993 and appeared
only on the "From The Hills Of Dream" Video/MC-Compilation, also on
Direction Music. This music is dedicated to the memory of Peter
Harrison. Barakah, November 2003.

PRICE: 13 € / $


NATHAN SITER: EXOSPHERE, CD

sleeve. 61 minutes of icy ambient, isolating scapes and pulsing rhythms.

PRICE: 10 € / $

(Sabbathid Records)
Esoteric dark ambient from italy.

PRICE: 10 € / $


BACK IN STOCK: STARUHA MHA: FIRES, CD
(Agnisvet)
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 composition are undoubtly
anxious, uneasy by nature which nevertheless is not going against
ambient harmony. Beautiful and very peculiar work. Limited to 287 copies
in A5 sleeve.

PRICE: 13 € / $


THE INFANT CYCLE: PLAYOUT, CD-R
(Zhelezobeton)
The Infant Cycle is a project of the Canadian artist Jim DeJong working
under this name since 1994. It may seem surprising, but all these 13
years he remained in the underground of experimental music, and his name
is well-known only to inveterate enthusiasts and explorers of this
strange phenomenon. The project has put out 6 full-length albums on
cassettes and CD-Rs, several singles and an amazing series of minions
called "Clear Shape" released in ultra-limited editions on transparent
vinyls of unusual forms (square, hexagon and triangle). Jim has also
recorded a lot of collaboration works with such musicians as Big City
Orchestra, Dronaement, Orphx, Aidan Baker, Delphium, etc., some of them
were published by his own label The Ceiling. The Infant Cycle's music
has never been notable for tensity or ornateness, instead of this it
focuses on the subtle aspects of sounding of separate timbres and their
combinations. Such textural orientation allows to create a completely
peculiar effect, and the seeming minimalism carries into the
contemplation of the infinity of possible microsound combinations. In
this connection, Jim knows how to get on with both rhythms and drone
ambient prostration. Among his favourite instruments are Poly-800,
shortwaves, feedback, field recordings and altered vinyl records. Vinyls
deserve special mentioning. Jim carved the runout grooves of records and
thus created simple and unembellished (yet in some ways, unpredictable)
rhythm patterns. Once he decided to start a project severely limiting
the sound sources to one carved playout and the operational sounds of
his old 4-speed Califone record player. Additional noises were generated
by running a razor blade along the platter while it was spinning (the
blade at different altitudes, and the platter at different speeds which
was picked up by the needle), and the tone arm being vibrated into
different tones by a violin bow (amplified via the needle). An early
track (called, fittingly "Playout (Early)") appeared on "Lágrimas De
Miedo N°8 - Sund", a compilation CD coming with the eighth issue of
France's "Fear Drop" magazine (2001). Two excerpts were also released as
a free promotional 5" by The Ceiling to announce the then-upcoming CD
release of "Playout" on the American label Merchants Of Sound. But the
label soon folded out, and the recording was lying and lying in the bins
of The Infant Cycle's archive. And now we are infinitely glad to have an
opportunity to present this work to your attention.

BOCKSHOLM: THE HAUNTING CURSE OF SKOGS-SARA, CD
(Wrotycz Records)
There is a legend saying that Skogs-Sara lived in the forest called
Osterskogen, she got a virgin born child named Frans Enoch. Soon after
the birth three nude gay men arrived, they had followed the bright iron
sign in the sky to the small Skogs-Sara lodge. These three men gave
Frans Enoch the bastard one gift each; black clogs, an orange thermal
Helly Hansen sweater and a box of snuff. Frans Enoch later worked as a
cheese producer but on his spare time he preached that one day there
will come two men named Peter Andersson and then the city of Boxholm
will forever be doomed. The citizens of Boxholm did not believe Frans
Enoch, so they crucified him in the forest and let him die alone.
Skogs-Sara went furious and put a curse on the citizens by letting two
named Peter Andersson to be born who would terrorize the citizens for
all time with a project called Bocksholm. The third terror attack by
Bocksholm is now here. After two successful albums on Tesco Organisation
and NATO, Bocksholm now turns the root of the problem with the album
"The Haunting Curse of Skogs-Sara". The music is a weird and explosive
experience, it is harder and stranger than ever. It is a psyhological
weapon that sneak upon the victims. The citizens of Boxholm will get
fucked - and so will probably you!

their music also includes found objects of scrap metal, plastic or wood.
Their first release on vinyl presents two pieces of multi-layered gong
drones, nicely processed for full trance effect and enriched with
whistling and rattling sounds and delayed percussion. Above all these
sounds, there’s a mighty overtune buzz with heavenly droning

KTL: KTL, CD
(Editions Mego)
Threatening new collaboration taking in parallel worlds of Extreme
Computer Music and Black Metal. KTL is Stephen O'Malley (SUNNO))),
Khanate) and Peter Rehberg (PITA). A six part collision amongst the
increasingly fading prescences between the light and the dark. This work
came about as the two were composing sound and music for a piece by
Gisèle Vienne and Dennis Cooper, entitled 'Kindertotenlieder'. It must
be stated that this CD is NOT the soundtrack to said piece, but a
separate project. However, elements may appear in the finished piece
which is to be premiered in Brest, France, March 2007. Pieces were
recorded in a resistance fortress in southern France during a
thunderstorm. Others in a wintergarden drenched in the sunlight.

KTL: KTL 2, CD
(Editions Mego)
Devastatingly beautiful four part follow up to the acclaimed debut CD
recorded in a former abattoir in Angers, as well as a 16th Century manor
in the extreme west of France. Taking the blueprint that was laid out on
the first record even further, with the ecstatic build up of ‘Theme’,
the near psychedelic ‘Abattoir’, and closing with the twisted
romanticism of the closing ‘Snow 2’. An upgrade both artistically and
emotionaly. As with the first CD elements appeared in the finished
version of the theatre piece ‘Kindertotenlieder’ by Gisele Vienne and
Dennis Cooper, which was premiered in Brest, France, March 2007.

LICHT-UNG: KRISTALL, 7"
(Drone Records)
"LICHT-UNG (German for "glade") is the name of a label, art- (publishing
lyrics, pictures, etc.) and sound project from the western part of
Gemany with a very peculiar and rather dadaistic approach. The two
pieces on "kristall" seem to be based mainly on feedback- and metal or
glass sounds that are carefully put together for a queer-sounding trip.
Side A ("Listen to the music playing in your head") consists of humming,
growling drones, low siren-like sounds and high-frequency feedbacks,
powerful and absorbing and very abstract, while never turning into sheer
noise. Side B (with the odd title "Heute war ich bei den weißen
Elefantens") delivers a crystal-clear noise chant and metallic overtones
processed with obscure effects. File under: high-tension & crystal Drones

MAEROR TRI: AMBIENT DREAMS, CD
(Beta-Lactam Ring Records)
"Black Series 34 - Ed. of 500 numbered copies. Oh, the roaring silence!
Maëror Tri has knack for gathering simple sonic ingredients, simmering
them in a jabberwocky with special electro-sauces, and serving up an ear
smacking meal that tastes great even as leftovers. So, let’s get to the
meat of the matter... “Ambient Dreams” is, surprise!,.. an ambient
recording. By ambient I mean "like the hazy wails of windswept souls as
seen under failing fluorescent lighting." Please turn your books to the
chapter entitled "Nurse With Wound-Homotopy To Marie" for related
reading. MT's jittery electronic torpedoes are juxtaposed by silent
wakes and expatriated metallic swirls. Pregnant and cavernous (see also
Lustmord) sounds wander back and forth leaving trails of lingering,
tonal machine noise. It's like that great and variable symphony provided
by the refrigerator when conversing with the radiator late at night.
Robotic whales calling to each other in a pool of motor oil. Music to
grease the chasse of your dreams! Please file in experimental or rock

"The man behind MURMER is the US-American field recording specialist
PATRICK MCGINLEY (who lives in France now), who’s also responsible for
the great 'Framework' radio programme on London’s RESONANCE 104.4FM. The
two pieces on this "Drone" captivate the listener with intelligently
assembled and multi-layered recordings of a garden in London (i.e. tree
bark, water, footsteps, a creaking gate), processer and ventilation
sounds of an old computer, and beads of a broken necklace. All sounds
were left un-processed. Combined, they take you on a trip into an other

NECROPHORUS: IMPRINTS, CD
(Wrotycz Records)
Beautiful, sensitive and electrified. 'Imprints' by Necrophorus goes
beyond the previous album 'elinrós' (2005) and further investigates the
aural landscape of imagination and mysticism. 'Imprints' vibrates a
fresh air mixed of three dimensional electrified organic field
recordings and minimal immersive sequenced organ sounds thus creating
the psychedelic atmosphere of virtually being inside the music, inside
the magic circle of the aural landscape. 'Imprints' is the fifth CD
album from Necrophorus/Peter Andersson (Sweden) who is most known for
the project raison d'etre with several masterpiece releases on the
Swedish legendary Cold Meat Industry label. Inspired by the impressions
of his visit to the amazing landscapes of Iceland summer 2006, Peter
Andersson has created a new astonishing aural output. 'Imprints'
consists of three variations of the same impression: two of them are
pure studio composisitons while the third variation is improvised as
'live in studio' recording.

experimental films and in designing sounds for contemporary dance &
Butoh. On "Synergetics", he presents two tracks of very minimal and
quiet oceanic drones, based on guitar and piano. The music shimmers like
light-reflections on water in extreme slow motion, when single
recognizable tunes appear. Music for full concentration and
contemplation, almost feathery and warm. File under: Silence-Drones.

SEETYCA: THE LAKE, 7"
(Drone Records)
"Another German project dealing with language, poetry and sound is
SEETYCA. They use their own orthography and publish lyrics and prose on
their projects website. Seetyca’s musical interest lies more in creating
"acoustic landscapes" or moods than in telling stories. They’re
especially interested in unconscious archaic states of the mind. The two
pieces on "The Lake" relate to a sacral approach of experiencing nature.
When beautiful (classic?) samples are set into a sphere of extremely
wide spaces and reverbation, when these clouds of sounds spread out in
infinite refulgence, moving like slow surging billows, a point of utmost
inner calmness can be reached..... File under: mysterious organic drones

"Thoughtspan" consists of 3 long tracks experimenting with the
conventions of space-rock or kraut-rock, combining simple yet propulsive
rhythms with multi-layered drones and ambience. Although, these tracks
may sound like a band, "Thoughtspan" is essentially a one-person record
(apart from violin and trumpet contributions), as the songs originated
with the drum parts and built up one instrument at a time from that
rhythmic base. [label info] Limited and numbered edition of 150 copies.

KANIBA: THE SERPENT, THE OMAGA AND COMPLETION OF THE FIRST CIRCLE, CD
(Autumn Wind Prods.)
Thematically, The Serpent is of the Earth and Shub-Niggurath; the Womb
of all, the grave of all. Life and Death, creation and destruction, the
Alpha and the Omega. The Serpent represents the return to the Source
from whence Kaniba came, as Terrorgoat, and a reflection upon the
journey from that moment to what is now. It is a union of old and new
elements, of old and new themes. The Serpent represents good and evil,
light and dark; the giver and taker of life. The Serpent celebrates Life
as the gift which comes from the womb of Shub-Niggurath, and The Serpent
celebrates Death as the sacrifice craved by the jaws of Shub-Niggurath.
The Serpent is the grave, which is a womb, The Serpent is the birth
occuring through demise. The Serpent is the undoing of death, and the
elevation of the soul that is ascendancy.

Most of all, The Serpent is the end. [Label info]

PRICE: 11 € / $


MONOID: CHAOS CONSTRAIN, CD-R
(Tosom)
Monoid is now active since more than 10 years. Due to this, “Open
Closure” and “Chaos Constrain”, the first two tapes released by A&T
records in spring and winter 1996, are now made available again by
TOSOM. This time both titles come as a CDR with full colour cover,
multiple inlays including the original cover art and multiple bonus
tracks. Only minimal sound editing and de-noising was applied to the
material to keep the original raw spirit of these first Monoid documents.

After the good resonance of “Open Closure”, “Chaos Constrain”, the
second Monoid tape, was released at the end of 1996. Here the seeds of
the first tape are followed and further developed. This includes more
minimal and abstract tracks where the only instrument seems to be the
feedback of an undistinguishable sound source as well as song-like
structures with spoken lyrics. The sound itself is more digital this
time, using a broader variety of synthesizers and percussion modules.
Still, hard rhythms, distortions and samples are still dominant in this
release. The bonus material of the TOSOM re-release features among
others an extended version of the experimental fragments used on the
original tape. [Label info]

Limited and numbered edition of 150 copies. Comes in a DVD box with five
inserts.

PRICE: 7 € / $


MONOID: OPEN CLOSURE, CD-R
(Tosom)
Monoid is now active since more than 10 years. Due to this, “Open
Closure” and “Chaos Constrain”, the first two tapes released by A&T
records in spring and winter 1996, are now made available again by
TOSOM. This time both titles come as a CDR with full colour cover,
multiple inlays including the original cover art and multiple bonus
tracks. Only minimal sound editing and de-noising was applied to the
material to keep the original raw spirit of these first Monoid documents.

Monoid started as a side project of Conscientia Peccati, to offer a
channel for rhythmic industrial and experimental pieces not suitable for
the ritualistic and neoclassical sound of CP. After one compilation
release, “Open Closure” started the Monoid release series in spring
1996. On the tape mainly minimalist and rhythmic tracks can be found,
suitable for the industrial dancefloors of that time. But also some more
experimental and ambient tracks found their way on the tape, showing a
glimpse of future things to come. The sound is rough and rather
analogue, featuring vocal samples and lots of distortions and feedback.
The bonus tracks of the TOSOM re-release inlcude an alternative version
of “Spalt”, maybe the best-known track of the original tape. [Label info]

Limited and numbered edition of 150 copies. Comes in a DVD box with five
inserts.

moods and thoughts, voices of forgotten civilizations..

Stone - a statics, a history - dynamics.

dances of the sicilian Maranzannu and the Vietnamese Danmoi, the

recordings and small sounds of shells and bells add layers to the
electronic magma. An intimate / introspective CD. [Label info]

ARDITI: MARCHING ON TO VICTORY, CD
(Equilibrium Music)
The original release of "Marching on to Victory" dates back to 2003,
with a small pressing of 1000 copies on the obscure Swedish label
Svartvintras. The legacy that one half of the project brought from his
work with Puissance was fairly evident, yet the focus on his work as
Arditi was not so much beautifuly orchestrated narrations of the
apocalypse, but far grimmer depictions of the past centuries world
conflicts. Field recordings and blurry speeches were incorporated into
Arditi's compositions, adding a rather disturbing tone to the
predominant military snare-drums, obscure symphonic arrangements and
hypnotic soundscapes. The suffocating combination between martial
classical arrangements and somber atmospheres would set Arditi's debut
album as one of the bleakest releases on the Militaristic Neo-Classical
movement that was starting to flourish at the time. "Marching on to
Victory" is now made available again, in a deluxe Digipak release
featuring 2 bonus tracks.

PRICE: 12 € / $


BLACK SUN PRODUCTIONS: CHEMISM, CD
(Old Europa Cafe)
Black Sun Productions' new album for Old Evropa Cafe consists of 14
tracks of tribal electronica and it stands as the most rhythmic output
to date coming from Massimo & Pierce and their fellow Children of the
Black Sun. The wooden sound of the marimba in combination with flutes
and drums merging with very European sounding violins will reveal to the
listener a new and pleasantly suprising attitude in musick-making of
this collective of sound artists. The mutating precision of Pierce’s
electronics is here counterpointed by Massimo's sonorous, deep vocals.
Eschewing the melancholy of the double disc The Impossibility of
Silence, Black Sun Productions seems to have moved with CHEMISM into an
electronic semi-operatic mode. Some of the album's tracks were written
and performed in collaboration with draZen and Bahntier. CHEMISM
features Val Denham and Ariot Fleischmann on additional vocals, Roman
Hollenstein on drums and Roberto Budelo on violins. CHEMISM is possibly
the most original sonic statement of Black Sun Productions and it
consacrates Massimo & Pierce as a truly eclectic duo of performers and
producers. Coming into a 3 panels digipack fully illustrated by Jacopo
Camagni and Marco Felicioni of Studio Dronio.

Dedicated to William S. Burroughs on the 10th anniversary since his
death, CHEMISM is largely inspired by William S. Burroughs' 1969 novel
The Wild Boys.

GOSLINGS: GRANDEUR OF HAIR, CD
(Archive CD)
GOSLINGS “grandeur of hair” in a lot of ways a release that exceeded any
expectations I’ve had for the label. Up until this point the label had
mostly focused on live recordings (beyond the Plotkin/ Wyskida release)
but this project was more the full visualization of a project as the
band had been working on the recordings for some time. In a nutshell a
60’ish min. collection of tracks that feature husband wife duo of Max
and Leslie Soren of FL. Practicing the fine art of analog tape
annihilation and over saturation. Predominately a wall of fuzzed to hell
guitar noise mixed lightly with some drum beats here and there sprinkled
with some sweet female vocals. One of the things that always pulled me
in is the subtle guitar melodies that are buried beneath the haze. I’ve
seen a number of reviews and comments about this release giving it the
Sunno))) meets My Bloody Valentine tag, not sure if I fully see that
myself but whatever. Single pressing of 1000 pieces. [Label info]

INANNA: DAY OV TORMENT, CD

'90s. This stunningly remastered and repackaged album brings alive one
of the classic scene albums - a milestone in ultra grim and crushing
death sonics, that paved the way for many Drone and Ritual Industrial
bands around today. Mixed by J Havukainen (IN SLAUGHTER NATIVES).

LINGUA FUNGI: TLAPALLAN PANTONAL, CD
(War Office Propaganda)
Tlapallan Pantonal is a personal interpretation of Central American
mythology. This album is inspired particulary by the myth of
Quetzalcoatl - one of the most important and greatest gods of
Mesoamerican Indians. More than utilizing the sound of native american
music tradition, this record is made entirely around the mood that the
Great stories personally evoked. Sounds vary from purely abstract
ambient to acoustic folk passages. Yet another very interesting record
of Lingua Fungi.

PRICE: 12 € / $


MERZBOW VS NORDVARGR: PARTIKEL II, CD
(Cold Spring)
The second part of the Partikel trilogy is finally here! Another
beautifully constructed collaboration from the two noise giants -
Japanoise King Masami Akita (aka Merzbow) and Swedish Lord Henrik
Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Folkstorm, Toroidh etc). The styles on
'Partikel II' range from total noise barrages to more subtle dark
ambient pieces. Essential! Presented in a luxurious matt laminate digipack.
PRICE: 12 € / $


NADJA: THAUMOGENESIS, CD (Archive CD)
Behemoth of a release dropped on me by Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff.
We had been talking about a release of some type after I got ultra
hooked on his solo works and he kicked this content over to me for my
label. 60+ min 1 track disc the lumbers along with highs and lows and
plodding drum tracks that brings to mind comparisons of godsflesh and
Jesu. Pressing of 600 copies that sold very quickly, if I had known how
quickly this one would get gobbled up I would have done the full
thousand but oh well. Fantastic graphic work from Seldon Hunt on this
release which also comes in the center folding front sleeve (like
shutters on a window opening to reveal CD attached inside) [Label info]

PRICE: 12 € / $


PUISSANCE: BACK IN CONTROL, CD
(Equilibrium Music)
Following the awe-inspiring debut "Let Us Lead", Puissance would return
a couple of years later to unleash "Back In Control", a cynical tribute
to human evolution and how such evolution inevitably seems to dictate
the end of the World and mankind's own extinction. The impending
man-made apocalypse which Söderlund obsessively narrates is superbly
illustrated by epic martial compositions, to which the pace is set by
loud marching drums and Industrial percussion. A compelling work of art,
that would bring Industrial music to a new climax thanks to the glorious
Neo-Classical arrangements that Puissance have developed for the album.

Originally issued via Cold Meat Industry in a 2000 copies limited
edition, this rare classic is now finally made available again through
Equilibrium Music, who have also recently re-issued the band's debut
"Let Us Lead". "Back In Control" has been re-mastered and enhanced with
one bonus track, presented in a deluxe digipak edition with embossed cover.

PRICE: 12 € / $


PUISSANCE: GRACE OF GOD, CD
(Equilibrium Music)
Three years after "State Collapse", the cogwheels on the
Puissance-warmachine have been fine-tuned and put to work again, in a
crushing motion that seems to be as defiant and innovative as ever.
Forerunners in blending post-Industrial soundscapes with seemingly
Wagnerian inspired classical scores, the Swedish duo's controversial
portrayal of human life often tends to raise a mix of conflicting
feelings towards them.

Musically, "Grace of God" could well be referred to as a re-definition
of the currently over-abused Martial-Pop term, yet Puissance's own
superior combination of sumptuous Neo-Classical and Industrial elements
raises any potential Pop anthem to an entirely distinct level. More
melodic and vocal-oriented than before, this latest opus also comes to
expose a more rhythmic approach that had been hinted at in previous
releases, but which has now morphed into a powerful and relentless
driving force in Söderlund and Möller's compositions. Compellingly
militant as well as beautifully apocalyptic, "Grace of God" finds
Puissance in top form, presenting a fine compendium of all bits and
pieces that the band have been flirting with throughout their career and
incorporating them in a unique style which will again set new standards,
as they have been known to do in previous outputs.

PRICE: 12 € / $


PURE: FETOR, CD
(Freak Animal)
re-release of PURE "Fetor" tape originally on Birthbiter. 80's UK power
electronics a'la Ramleh meets guitar feedback-drone. Matthew Bower's
solo work. Including bonus live gig from '88 what was not on original
tape. That gig was advertized to be Ramleh live, but due Gary Mundy
didn't arrive to venue, similar material of Pure tape was performed.

artworks like tape.

PRICE: 11 € / $


SHINJUKU THIEF: THE SCRIBBLER, CD
(Cold Spring)
Reissue of the 1992 classic by this Australian genius, originally
released in an edition of 500 copies. Occasional bursts of factory
noise, industrial rumblings and disembodied German voices form the
backdrop to a minimalist reworking of Kafka's "The Trial." An album of
dense filmic atmospheres and orchestral instrumentation. 'The Scribbler'
has been digitally remastered and is enhanced with a series of video
clips constructed by Richard Grant (I+T=R), incorporating both new
material together with the original images prepared for "The Scribbler"
live show.

PRICE: 12 € / $


SISTRENATUS: DIVISION ONE, CD
(Cold Spring)
Powerful debut of the Canadian noise project. 'Division One' is harsher
and more bombastic than Harlow MacFarlane's now defunct project FUNERARY
CALL. A true onslaught of Black Ambient, Power Noise and Death
Industrial. This is the much anticipated album, after the well received
track on our legendary SWARM sampler.

PRICE: 12 € / $


SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY: DEEP FRIEZE, CD
(Cold Spring)
Ultra deep, glacial Dark Ambient, based around Antarctic co-ordinates.
The polar regions are awe-inspiring environments of inhospitable
minimalism, and at the same time there's a beautiful serenity to be
found in their uncharted bleakness. There's a powerful purity and a
timelessness to be found there; snow which has lain un-trampled for
millennia and ice which formed eons ago; mountain ranges and deserts and
rivers to be found if you look. 'Deep Frieze' is SRF's second album for
Cold Spring and here deep, resonant, abyss-like drones shine forth from
icy chasms below.

PRICE: 12 € / $

PRICE: 7 € / $


AHASVERUS: EVOCATION, CD-R
(Ahasverus)
At the turn of the century 1900, the western civilisation was spreading
its wings over the world, colonizing, baptising and oppressing other
cultural expressions. One of the most significant manifestations of this
era, is the archaeological excavations and explorations in Mesopotamia,
Mesoamerica and Egypt. Professors, adventurers and other explorers of
the romantic spirit of the times haunted monuments and grave chambers in
their task to steal as much as possible to bring home to the safe
western enlightened civilisation. Whole monuments and temples were taken
in parts, shipped over thousands of kilometers and reassembled in
European capitals, where austere authorities proudly announced their
gratitude.
These white-bearded men in dark costumes are personifications of a
schizofrenia that distinguish that time. They are both bandits and
saviours.

This is a sister-work of Ten is the number, produced parallel with
partly the same material, but with oppositional methods. Where "Ten is
the number" is structural, calculated and abstract, "Evocation" is
sensitive, expressive and narrative.

Ahasverus act II

Comes in digipak with hand made linen cover and 8 pages folder.

PRICE: 8 € / $


BARDOSENETICCUBE: TELLORAM, CD-R

handmade package from polypheme. [press-release]

PRICE: 8 € / $


BISCLAVERET: PSYCHE NOMINE, CD
(The Eastern Front)
Bisclaveret - A Polish dark ambient/dark wave duo presents its album
Psyche noMine. It took two years to conceive, resulting in 6 songs
(clocking at around 53 minutes). Musically, it's a piece for those
interested in moving, yet extraordinary art. Lush strings, industrial
rhythms and even noise tones at times summarize the background for
Dragos' voice coming from the other, subconscious side of his mind.
Lyrically, it's a concept-album of sorts. All the lyrics deal with human
sub consciousness. The words on 'Psyche noMine' shows a man entangled in
the arcane of the world, somebody who does not notice phenomena around
him. The man whose recklessness or even arrogance so natural for him is
the cause for him being lost in the surrounding reality. The album's
ambiguous title suggests what receivers will deal with when listening to
new Bisclaveret album.

A must-have album for fans of Nordvargr, Dead Man's Hill and Cold Meat
Industry acts, such as In Slaughter Natives & Sanctum [Label info]

PRICE: 11 € / $


CROSSBRED: DEAD IN HER DRUM'S RHYTHM, CD-R

PRICE: 6 € / $


EXALOT: ANALOGUE FLOWERS, CD
(Faria Records)

pre-PC computers, analogue synthesizers and handmade effect-tracts.

The album has a very special, pleasant enchanting sound, full of inner
light and positive emotions, full of harmonies of stars and romantic
feeling from analogue past. Absolutely non commercial music, without any
standards and limits. The release includes conceptual art covers and few
cards with digital pictures by Exalot.

Limited edition of 500 copies

FRANK ROTHKAMM: MOERS WORKS, CD

Frank Rothkamm is the one of most interesting musicians of today,
contemporary of industrial culture. He is a true underground figure, the
fighter of invisible front, who realized a number of projects, produced
great records for his own Flux Records label. Being a professionally
trained musician, he was shifting freely from tape collages in his
teens, and going through different forms including chamber music and pop
arrangements. "Moers Works" is his first experiment, discovered and
unearthed by me incidentally. Archive materials recorded back in 1982-84
and released after quarter of century! [Label info]

PRICE: 11 € / $


HENRIK SUMMANEN: CAVE SONGS, CD-R
(Ahasverus)
This release is based on live sessions in March 2006. The EP is one
single track.
In an article some years ago, literature nobel prize winner W.S. Naipul
was asked how he was able to create characters, and have so much
understanding for people. His answer was short: "You don´t write because
you understand, you write because you don´t understand."

To him the motivator for writing was that he had an ambition to
understand the characters in his novels. I laborated a bit with this
idea when working on the piece Cave songs. Prehistoric religions have
always been a source of inspiration to me - but I have had problems to
approach them in a direct way. Cave songs is based upon a live session,
and through the fragments I sometimes feel a hint of the powers of
nature. [Label info]

PRICE: 7 € / $


I AM ABOVE ON THE LEFT: AN A-BOMB TO WAKE UP, CD
(RAIG)
This is complicated and explosive. This is innovation and progression.
This is another heavy testament of pure musical genius from IAAOTL.
Entirely instrumental, this album could easily make musicians stand
openmouthed, wondering just how such music is written. No matter how
chaotic they seem, all the compositions are dense and carefully
structured. There are no improvisations or solos despite the influences
of prog-rock or avant-jazz in their music. But there are lots of complex
and dissonant guitar interplay, angry and crushing angular riffing,
insane time and key changes, mind-pounding and panicked sounds,
thought-expanding pauses and weird noise-drones. An A-Bomb To Wake Up is
too overwhelming and complicated for an average listener to listen to,
and much less to understand. This is something that has to be heard to
be believed! [RAIG]

PRICE: 12 € / $


** BACK IN STOCK: IRMOLOGION: S/T, CD
(RAIG)
That word came into the orthodox religious tradition from Hellenic:
irmos – a motet, and logeyo – to collect. As a single-genre chapel-book,
Irmologion was first compiled from a number of irmoses in the 10th
century in Byzantium. A full version of the Russian Irmologion includes
about 1050 irmoses and reproduces a specific classical structure, which
is submitted to so-called “8-glas system” when the irmoses within each
“glas” follow the exact order of 9 songs of the Canon.
The purpose of this brief inquiry is to explain the album organization:
9 tracks (Irmos 1-9) in sequence which is of great importance for the
perception of music. In fact, IRMOLOGION is far from interpretation of
canonic motets; this more resembles a horror-documentary soundtrack
redefining one's dark vision of the world intoxicated by deceits,
illusions, and errors. Consistently dark and deeply disturbing chants
grow up from some distorted references to holy hymns and raise up
everything to the level of apocalypse. Here, the Ceremony is no more a
source from which the author draws his inspiration but an act provoking
him to create a stunning alternative and send this painful challenge to
the tempting and rupturing dogma.

Hand-made cardboard packaging designed by ZonderZond further advances
IRMOLOGION sound and vision (limited to 350 copies!).

PRICE: 12 € / $

LT. CARAMEL: EARLY TAPE WORKS, CD
(Monochrome Vision)
Lieutenant Caramel is the musician and film director at the same time,
he shoot movies for ears with microphone. The continuous search for
poetic images, frantic interchange of subjects, twisted and broken
mosaic of fuzzy elements, the breathtaking incoherence of perception,
the mark of primitive life, the total absence of organization and
rational thoughts. All this breathes, moves, obtains the voice and
gradually becomes meaningful. Theatrical view of musique concrète,
humorous and surrealistic collection of masterpieces recorded in the ten
years. [Label info]

MOLJEBKA PVLSE: SADALSUUD, CD
(Some Place Else)
For this album Mathias Josefson, a sound-artist from Stockholm,
collaborated with a number of his colleagues who provided him various
source sounds to work with.
The name Sadalsuud refers to a star of the same name in the
constellation of Aquarius. The name comes from an Arabic phrase meaning
"the luckiest of them all". Nevertheless the album is rather
earthy-sounding, yet mystical and surreal, almost claustrophobic at
times. The sound is vaguely reminiscent of some works by Nurse With
Wound, Maeror Tri or The Hafler Trio, but carries the trademark Moljebka
Pvlse feel. An unsuspecting pre-listener described Sadalsuud as "a visit
to a supposedly haunted house, though only once you've entered the house
you begin to grasp the real meaning of haunting."

PÄR JOHANSSON: THE EMPTY PALACE, CD
(Elektron Records)
Pär Johansson was born in Södertälje, Sweden in 1972 and besides his M.
Sc. in computer engineering, he has studied music, acoustics and Chinese
language and culture. He was a student of electroacoustic composition at
EMS in 1995-97 for Anders Blomqvist, Lars-Gunnar Bodin, Andreas Hedman,
Jens Hedman, Erik Mikael Karlsson and Peter Lundén. Since then he has
also worked there as an administrative assistant and lecturer in
acoustics and sound synthesis.

Pär Johanssons music is narrative, sometimes containing recognizable
sounds, but it is not conventional programme music, though the source of
inspiration often is literary or philosophical. Nor is it conceptual
sound art since the aesthetic aspects of a piece are just as important
to him as the underlying ideas. The intention is that it should be
possible to listen to the music without any background knowledge.

Pär wants to avoid an overly intellectual approach to music, while not
abandoning the formal stringency typical of Western art music, and
strive for an abstract, emotional narrative not unlike that of a Chopin
ballade. His works contain several parallel layers in counterpoint - a
trait borrowed from ancient art music. This method of working in layers
has led him to compose almost exclusively multi-channel works. [Label info]

PRICE: 12 € / $


SHADOW THEATER: SIONA, CD-R
(T'an! Kaven!! Ash!!!)
Conceptual album of Shadow Theater, a fusion of two German acts
Flutwacht and Vincenzo Bossi. The album was performed and recorded live
without audience in 2005-2006. 9 powerful tracks evoking anxious and
bleak atmosphere expressed through distorted vocals and noise attacks
alternated with impressive harsh industrial sounds and power electronics
and mixed with samples and quiet ambient passages. [label info]

PRICE: 7 € / $


U.S. CHRISTMAS: SALT THE WOUND, CD
(RAIG)
Though often counted among the bands associated with the so-called
underground stoner rock scene, the U.S. CHRISTMAS influences span much
further than that that scene’s foundations in 70’s hard rock or 80’s
heavy metal, delving into psychedelia, space rock, experimental and
beyond. Fusing their influences, USC developed a sludgy, feedback loud
and heavy rock sound that helped them take up a very specific place
among so-called modern avant-underground movement.

Salt The Wound is the third album in the band’s discography and the
first officially pressed release. It is comprised of some of the
selected, rerecorded, and rearranged songs from their first two albums,
Prayer Meeting and Bad Heart Bull, plus three live tracks of which two
songs do not have studio-version analogues yet. Seven studio tracks for
many remain the high point of USC as extreme downer acid-psych-space
rock. Finding a perfectly steady balance of trapping crunchy rhythms,
strung-out guitar riffage at the core of molten swirling and bubbling
synthesizer lava, and echo-drenched vocalization obscurity, they managed
to create a uniquely defining work. It’s a great introduction to the
band for those brave enough to withstand the assault! [RAIG]

N.STRAHL.N: EINGANG, CD-R
(Tosom)
This first record by the german project N.STRAHL.N features mostly quiet
and meditative soundscapes from organic to mechanical. For the most
parts based on field-recordings, sounds from nature turn into
post-industrial metallic and sweeping landscapes with spare rhytmic
accents, which dominance increases track by track. [Label info]

spanish noise underground scene, known for his early works released

of his sound experimentation, and shows quite diverse sides of his
creative efforts, which ranges from collaged field recordings to noise
ambient loops, from rhythmic structures to hypnotic electronic passages.
Limited edition of 500 copies in jewelcase.

PRICE: 10 € / $


SOMNIVORE: CLERGY OF ONEIROS, CD
(Anima Arctica)
Six tracks clocking for over three quarters of an hour give the listener
a glimpse of view of the world of Somnivore. Stories and tales inspired
by dreams, nightmares, insomnia, sleepwalking, blurry history and
future, magick and logic, secret and public essence of certain and
uncertain places, fountains of life and curtains of death.
Magical viewpoints to seemingly everyday topics, and everyday approach
to spiritual activities of certain and uncertain times and places
influence the compositions varying from subtle drones to archaic
rhythms, from harmonies and melodies blinking like hope in child's eyes,
to brutal approach of noisy and pounding industrialish percussions.
Vocals from monasteries of religions that don't exist (anymore? yet?) to
gloomy whispers and spoken word.

Most of the time the holistic auditive narration of these songs works in
the fields of ill-logic, instinct-driven - like a mindless spirit, like
a small child, like an animal in frenzy... one observation of change in
surroundings, and the thoughts fly to next subject causing somewhat
unexpected results... Sometimes the stories work against linear time,
like the ending track where the soldier in bunker get stumbled by
memories of childhood, and lives his lifetime backwards in minutes. Some
stories examine places and entities, to which time has no effect at all
like the track "Those graves under the Bay of Bothnia".

Strongly present are the places most near to the scarred heart of this
sound sculptor & songwriter: Lightless winter days of Lapland filled
with anguish, physical and mental illness, and substances to kill the
freezing effect of depression and climate... The nights, explorations
and feasts of Moravia & Bohemia filled with absinth and wine... Quiet
huts and nostalgic alleys and pathways of small northern Ostrobothnian
villages... The blessed and noble forests of East Finland, the gentle
yet crushing force of these holy woods...

PRICE: 12 € / $


TUHAT KUOLEMAA SEKUNNISSA: S/T, CD
(Anima Arctica)
Noble & Honest Neo Folk Rooted firmly to the pagan grounds of Finland
These songs are made to rise higher than pines, and the brilliant
melodies glitter like silvery lakes under the holy sun. Some of these
tracks are surely to be sung along with tears in eyes by lonely
listeners, and some out loud by like-minded minds affected by blessed
beers and wicked wines.

This record is mainly performed two acoustic guitars and bass guitar
held by men with fierce fire in minds and souls, with voice - sometimes
fragile like icicles, sometimes hard like the wind from the arctic
ocean, but always in the language of their ancestors - and with
occasional elements of other traditional instruments.

Humble and traditional approach to composing leads to traditional, yet
innovative song writing... a reverend nod is given to the direction
classics of British isle's neo folk genre, which shake hands with
archaic songs sung by Finnish tribes next to fireplaces in nightless
night, in lightless winter of this cold, cold country.

PRICE: 12 € / $


V/A: WALKING IN THE RAIN ON THE OSTROW TUMSKI, CD
(Ars Benevola Mater)
Participants: Leiche Rustikal, Oxyd, Allerseelen, Troum, Job Karma, Sol
Invictus, Lagowski, Tabor Radosti, Herbst9, Hati vs. Z'EV.
We can hear a multitude of sounds, taste a multitude of flavours,
walking under the rain in the evocative setting of Ostrow Tumski. From
the thin grey shades of Herbst 9 to the esoteric hypnotisms of
Allerseelen, through the wrapping electronics soundscapes of Job Karma
and the delicate folk melodies of Sol Invictus. A journey through
ambient atmospheres, industrial movements and a comforting melancholy
moistened by little raindrops…

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 avantgarde sound. From Poland a duet
who offers a complex but interesting electronic carpet with a thrilling
remix featuring their more famous mates CH District [label info]

PRICE: 12 € / $

Greetings,

** Aural Hypnox News (5.3.2007)

As the days grow longer, we decided to announce some news concerning the
upcoming Aural Hypnox titles and also other related activities. The
current year will be challenging in many ways, however we are confident
that we will manage to overcome all the possible obstacles and reach
something beyond all expectations.

First of all, we are excited to introduce the brand-new series entitled
'Aural Holograms'. The very first part of the series has been sent to
press while ago and it is planned to be released within couple of
months. In future, we strive to release a new part yearly and therefore
strongly recommend people to collect the series from the very beginning
to the very end - For we truly believe that, in addition to the truly
unique aural content and special packaging, it is only the full series
that enables a comprehensive insight into the heart of the Great Hologram.

Aural Holograms Vol. I

"All of You who have gone before, across the ages we call You, to join
us and together reach the unsetting stars of the White Nights, the
Horizon of Hollow Earth".

The very first part of the Aural Holograms series incorporates various
call and response patterns manifesting vibrating, subtle energies, all
of which have been accurately divided into separate rhythmic dimensions
and time-shifting aural tapestries.

The overall experience - i.e. the ecstatic effect - is transmitted by
the intensity of syncopated rhythms, reed organ lingering on a few
tones, self-transforming vocal work accompanied with carefully chosen
oscillating tunes and a variety of percussive patterns utilising
artefacts crafted according to the methods of traditional metallurgia,
as well as real-time tape operations.

"{ 61°26'N 21°52'E } The rum is poured on the ground, words are spoken
in secrecy: the Dead Men will come to tell their tales".

**


Some graphic changes have been made on the website and more importantly,
we have opened a 'Live Events' section, which will be including all
confirmed live-performance dates of the artists involved with Aural Hypnox.

Moreover, related to the above mentioned, we are planning to organize a
very small-scale Aural Hypnox evenings here in Oulu - and if possible
elsewhere as well. However, dates nor the venues have not been decided /
found yet - the activity will begin most probably in the end of summer
or early autumn.

Mailorder catalogue has been updated while ago, including also a new
Halo Manash release 'r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA' LP + DVD.
