HELICE PIED: CONDUIT NO. 2, 7"
(Drone Records)
„HELICE PIED is a newcomer from Athens, Greece, who had a few
outstanding releases before under the nom de plume NIXILX.NIJILX, but
for this very first vinyl release a new project-name was chosen.
#Conduit No.2# is a perfect example of sensibly spun experimental drone,
floating waves with metallic tinkling-sounds slowly approaching and
disappearing again, soft white noise-swooshes circulating widely
around an invisible center... sound-sources are hardly recognizable
(coming from concrete sounds of churchbells and e-guitar), the
atmosphere rising is one of quietness & meditation, able to transcend
your mind. All words & symbols HELICE PIED uses (see inlay &
cover-structure & endgroove) have a strong structural and inter-related
meaning...Filed under: hologram-drones. WHITE VINYL. BLACK COVERS WITH
HANDPAINTED GOLDEN COCK & CHURCH BELLS ON IT & FEW COVERS ARE SPRAYED
TOTALLY GOLDEN WITH BLACK INK & FINGERPRINTS" [label description]

N.STRAHL.N: BROT UND LUGEN, CD-R
(Tosom)
This release is the perfect link between the "normal" TOSOMs and the
XX-Serie. On his third release, N.Strahl.N puts the focus on his more
noisy edge. Monotonous walls of Machinery-Loops, metallic scraping,
manipulated radiowaves and heavily processed fieldrecordings. No
message, no deeper meaning, no propaganda. Just some pretty pop-muzak
for the age of "bread and lies". [Label info]
Limited to 150 copies.
PRICE: 7 € / $
ORDO TYRANNIS: VASA INIQUITATIS, CD
(Flood The Earth)
Scorched industrial dirge from members of subterranean black metal
troupe Black Funeral, sounding to our ears like some debauched mutation
of GODFLESH's Streetcleaner gone ambient funeral doom cabaret, like the
score for some hellish, buried black mass happening in the dampest
corners of your basement at 2am, or themes for a plague-infested
carnival. Either way, this is some sinister shit. Spartan, dubbed out
drums linger somewhere back in the shadows while the vocalist invokes
negative energy over a framework of carnivalesque, martial
post-punk/avant-industrial played by bone machines. Listening to this is
like staring into a vast black maw of total dankness. Not really
"heavy", but definitely evil, unsettling stuff, and summons similiar
vibes as the recent batch of outsider-black metal weirdness we've landed
from Supernal...fans of Benighted Leams, Emit, Esoteric, and similiar
pitch-black clang and demonic atmosphere would do well to check this
out. [Crucial Blast]
PRICE: 12 € / $
PAUL CHAIN: PARK OF REASON, CD
(Beyond Prods)
Paul Chain- Park of Reason CD (Beyond Prod.)- Italian import. Italian
multi-instrumentalist Paul Chain is a cult figure in the doom metal
underground, and this CD shows why. 12 songs of melodic and powerful
traditional doom metal, with Paul playing guitar and often all
instruments. He actually sings real words on a few songs too (Paul
usually sings a made-up phonetical language)! Did I mention this CD is
90 minutes long??? That's right, the last track actually contains two
different mono songs, one in the left channel and one in the right. If
you're new to the wonderful world of Paul Chain, this isn't a bad place
to start. [Phantom Limb]
PRICE: 12 € / $
PETER WRIGHT: AIR GUITAR, 7"
(Drone Records)
Welcome to the dance of Overtones. New Zealands Peter Wright has raised
a reputation over the last few years with his music built mainly by
guitar & field recordings. this 3-piece EP consists of little
fuxion-mantras, made by waving guitar-overtones & sounds of Air & Water,
with little additional sounds of daily room noises. Ultra-minimal &
Harmonic, but with a certain raw directness & concreteness that creates
a unique atmosphere. These wonderful over-tonic vibrations & sounds weem
to tell little stories or daydream phantasies. [Label info]
Originally recorded December 2003 - March 2004 at Burrells Wharf in
London. Additional recording and Drone mix January 2006

BACK IN STOCK: TROUM: NAHTSCATO, LP
(Paranoise)
Three new tracks with more archaic hallucinogenic rituals by this german
masters of drone. "Nahtscato" (old german for "nightshade") is a dark
and sublime trip into the world of shadows which is only a projection of
the un-identifiable in our minds, enriched by an archaic love-dance ("o
choros..") and a kind of acoustic mirroring of the basis where the
matter of thoughts ("tsal") arise... This is archaic para-ambient
industrial ! [Paranoise Records] Comes in red vinyl with inlay card.
PRICE: 12 € / $
TROUM: RYNA, CD
(Transgredient Records)
"...To receive from it pleasure, it is necessary completely to open the
consciousness and to allow layers of sounding Troum to operate emotions.
Now, for the prepared student, listening "RYNA" similarly to travel on
the strange, cold country lulling by the monotonous rhythms, dronings
and vibrations, and then wakening by absolutely habitual sounds,
unexpectedly emerging on a surface, like fragments of dialogue, sounds
of the underground, city, sounds of crowd and any strange ritual
singing." [ www.experiment.ru] [Drone Records]

PRICE: 8 € / $
WÄLDCHENGARTEN: THE LEECH, 7"
(Drone Records)
"WÄLDCHENGARTEN is a danish duo from Aarhus that could be best described
as “noise ambient” or “raw / harsh drone” in what they do. After some
already very promising releases (i.e. a CD in the Desolation
House-series of Relapse Recs) this is their very first vinyl. Their
music on #The Leech# is very raw and filled with tiny noisy outbursts,
at the same time ultra-sluggish & powerful. Low whistling feedback &
pure electronic whirl-tones are omnipresent, everything seems to
gradually sink to an alien center of heavy gravity like an organic
entity that is slowly sucking energy while everything around is
pulsating and rumbling in menacing cascades... this is dark, but its a
darkness of sheer beauty. Filed under: heavy-gravity drones . [Label info]
PRICE: 6 € / $
XOTOX: INDRE STILHED, CD-R
(Tosom)
Xotox is a wellknown project from Germany in the area of Rhythmical
Industrial with pumping rhythms and distorted sounds. Several releases
exists on CDRs or Tapes, but also a few compilation contributions. With
‘Indre Stilhed’ XOTOX goes other ways and TOSOM is proudly to present
it. On ‘Indre Stilhed’ you don’t hear nothing like rhythmical parts or
distorted sounds, forget what you know or heard about this project.
‘Indre Stilhed’ shows “the silent side of Xotox’. 17 Tracks full of
beautiful calm sounds, sometimes with a little classical touch. “This
album is dedicated to all those who can still feel the silence” and
who’s not? Xotox is the project of Andreas Davids, who also runs
with‘Neuf Noir Records’ a little but very fine label, worth to check it.

HALO MANASH: r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA, LP + DVD
(Kaosthetik Konspiration)
HALO MANASH, redrobed and clothed in ash, has a completed a helical
cycle, r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA. Archaic sounds and visions from the heights and
depths, elemental ambience and primal thundering. Various instruments
such as horns, kanglings, bells, cymbals, drums, singing bowls, damaras,
rattles, chimes, bones, selfmade instruments, vocals, voices, and the
elemental sounds themselves give form to a work that is sometimes
serene, sometimes fierce and chaotic.
Everything is in pairs: thus r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA itself consists of two
distinct creations/destructions:
"IN 4 ELEMENTS" (DVD - VIDEO) was realized/received in 4 circulations of
the sun and consists of 4 parts.
"IN POLARDUAL" (LP) is the dark twin, and was received /realized in 2
circulations of the sun, consisting of two parts.
Full-colour gatefold LP lmt to 500 including a DVD + A2 POSTER.

SYMPHONIA SACROSANCTA PHASMATVM: PATH TO YIRAH, CD
(The Ajna Offensive)
32+ minutes of immersion.
Yirah is the spiritual state associated with the Sephira of geburah. In
contrast to the heart's initial, innate desire to give, deriving from
ahavah, yirah expresses one's deeply felt concern and fear lest one's
gift fall into the hands of an unworthy recipient who may actually
misuse it destructively.
Yirah evokes geburah, the might necessary to reject and even fight
against negative and destructive forces.
The two powers of ahavah and yirah are intended to complement one
another and act as a pair, as the two hands of the body in their common
effort to construct or as the two wings of a bird in their flight
upward. In a more general sense, yirah is understood to represent one's
sensitivity to the presence of another. Sensitivity gives rise to
consideration of the other's feelings and respect for him (as in the
idiom yirat hakavod). While ahavah motivates attraction and union, yirah
stands in awe from afar.
In relation to God, there are many levels of yirah: yirat haromemut (awe
in the presence of infinite Divine exaltedness), yirat hamalchut (awe in
the presence of Divine kingship), and yirat haonesh (fear of
punishment). This last level of yirah is not exclusively "pure" in its
motivation (for it does not picture God directly as the object of one's
yirah), but rather derives from the kelipat nogah (translucent shell) of
one's soul experience, involving a mixture of good (for it precludes
sinning) and evil (for it shadows one's consciousness with thoughts of
bad consequences). [Label Info]

AEMAE: THE HELICAL WORD, CD
(Isounderscore)
First record from longtime AQ pal / customer Brandon Nickell aka Aemae,
two long years in the works and we dare say it was well worth the wait.
A gorgeous and exquisitely crafted abstract free noise drone record.
Dark and deliriously dense, a perfect amalgamation of the experimental
dronework of the Hafler Trio, the sweeping skreescapes of Sunrooof! and
Vibracathedral Orchestra and the abstract minimalism of Mirror or
Jonathan Coleclough. As well, this has plenty of distinctly unique sonic
elements. Heavily reverbed chimes and bells are smeared into a twinkling
fog, slowly thickening into a dense slab of electrical impulses, woven
together so tightly it resembles a buzzing ball of hornets, a throbbing
thrumming drone. Strange steel drum like electronic pulses, an alien
gamelan, pickes out a tranquil melody beneath swooping and blooping
spaciness, sheets of industrial shuffle, scrape and rumble, leaving
sparkling trails of dense and complex almost IDM skitter in their wake,
albeit wrapped in thick gauzy veils of warm reverberant flutter. All
stretched into distant, soft focus soundscapes of warbling whir and
creaking ambience. Quite lovely and sublime! [Aquarius Records]
PRICE: 12 € / $
ARASTOO: THREE, LP
(Isounderscore)
Arastoo is another one of those outfits (persons, actually) who has
loads of releases out, but all of them are ultra limited and thus
seemingly impossible to get. The last (and only) thing we had from
Arastoo was a gorgeous cd-r released on Dielectric records, and now of
course out of print. So we were super excited when AQ pal Brandon
decided to release a brand new Arastoo on his label Isoundcore. it's
still limited of course, but we managed to get a bunch, although we
imagine these won't last long. Arastoo is Arastoo Darakhshan, and is
another in the brotherhood of the drone, deftly exploring a warm and
wonderful drone drenched ambience. Three is a series of deep cavernous
drones, warm and rich, not so much rumbling and sort of washing over you
like the sun drenched surf. But this is NOT sunny, this is like a sky
devoid of sun, a blanket of rich blackness, permanent nighttime.
Occasionally punctuated by haunting reverbed tones, presumably the sound
of struck metal. Creepy buzzing alien melodies drift by like a broken
trumpet or some sort of shortwave guitar. The heart of the record is a
massive, slow building ultra dense drone, layers of low-end get thicker
and thicker, while additional layers are added slowly and subtly, each
of those new layers, slightly higher in pitch, the result is a rich
swirl of strange overtones and hunting ghostlike melodies. Gorgeous.
Housed in an amazing gloss black on matte black sleeve. [Aquarius Records]
PRICE: 12 € / $
IRMOLOGION: DYNATOS, CD
(RAIG)
DYNATOS is the original Greek word which means loud, mighty, possible,
potent, potential, powerful, robust, strong, vigorous… Though this term
was often used in Byzantium legal manuscripts dated to IX-X centuries to
define big land-lords or significant persons in imperial ecclesiastical
hierarchy, there is a hypothesis that a major criteria of belonging to
dynatos was not property itself but enormous temporal and spiritual
power which one had got from hands of the Lord.
This haunting work should be percept as a sermon on what a person is
able to do but chooses not to do, on what is possible for humans to do
but they don’t want to do, and on what is impossible for them to do even
if they want to choose it. The anonymous masters choose to preach in the
language of electro-acoustic music instead of the language of words
which mean nothing in the tempted world.
The album comes in a special packaging designed by ZonderZond: cd
wrapped up in a gorgeous silk piece of cloth, held together inside a
laced hard book folder (Ltd x350).
PRICE: 12 € / $
JOAN SILVER PIN: CHIAROSCURO, CD
(RAIG)
Papaver somniferum, its history begins with the ancient Sumerians who
referred to the flower as a plant of joy. The knowledge of the plant was
passed throughout the nations and ages. The ancient Egyptians promoted
use of opium as a sleep aid, and their pharaohs were buried with opium
artifacts. Numerous ancient Greek gods were portrayed wreathed with or
carrying poppies. Hippocrates made frequent mention of the poppy for its
hypnotic effects and nutritive value. Opium was largely used as a social
drug in India and China. In Europe, waned during the Dark Ages, the use
of opium was rediscovered in XVI century: the smoking of opium was
discovered; prior to this opium was taken orally – the practice of
smoking opium is still considered barbaric by some cultures. During 17th
and 18th centuries opium became the primary trade commodity between
Europe, India and China. In 1803, F.Seturner discovered the active
ingredient of opium by dissolving it in acid then neutralizing it with
ammonia: the resulting product was morphine. In 1874, C.Write created
heroin by boiling morphine over a stove. Opium and its products
consumption reached an all time high in Britain in 1830...
Well, the stories told by JSP are as dramatic and mysterious as the
history of poppies itself. Incorporating electronics, traditional
instrumentations, esoteric vocalizations as well as atypical arrangement
and production techniques, «Chiaroscuro» sonic landscapes can earn the
praise among a diverse variety of different audiences. The group relies
most often on the experimental ambient aesthetic with subtly changes in
content and timbre, mixing a warm, clean fusion of deliberate analog
synths, gentle guitars, stark trumpet, smart percussive bits, loose and
forceful vocal improvisations. An accomplished post-rock architecture of
the various elements from synth-music, avant-garde, jazz and rock: the
ability to create quite layered and complex, the more you listen to it,
modern electro-acoustic psychedelic masterpieces becomes apparent from
the very album beginning. Enjoy! [RAIG]
PRICE: 10 € / $
LEBENSWELT: S/T, CD
(RAIG)
Not only LEBENSWELT is a new name in the underground industrial scene,
but also the releases which the trio put out under various names have
always been extremely limited and thus hard to get for the audience.
This self-titled limited edition album is both an official debut by the
project and a perfect introduction to their creative activity as it
collects the most intriguing recordings from 2004-2005.
Inspired by the ambiguous works of German prophet poet and translator
Stefan George (1868-1933), Lebenswelt to a great extent sounds
aristocratic, remote, and dark, with many references to the modern
European symbolist movement. Mixing distinctive drones and ambiences
with repetitive industrial hammerings, well-designed noise layers, and
shape-shifting rhythmic structures, they depict apocalyptic industrial
canvas with morose and hopeless atmosphere. A berhyme of a kingdom
ruined! [RAIG]
PRICE: 10 € / $
SELAXON LUTBERG + SUBINTERIOR: SPRING MEETING, CD-R
(Cold Current Prod.)
This is the second CDr 3" from the series dedicated to the 4 seasons.
Born from the great friendly collaboration between Andrea
Freschi/Subinterior and Andrea Penso/Selaxon Lutberg. Around 20 minutes
of deep ambient music on a nice orange glowing CDr 3". [Label info]
PRICE: 6 € / $
WOMBA: EVIDENCE OF LETTA, CD
(RAIG)
Fascinating allure of sound sculptures, organic and industrial flotsams
of WOMBA origin catalyzed by the shed manipulations of the local
underground scene's most prolific lunatic Tikhon S. Kubov. It’s neither
a return to the aggravated sonic assault of the preceding album nor a
reproduction of the kind of noise you would expect nowadays, but
somewhat more soft, if at all possible. This sounds like a refined
post-industrial symphony of nostalgia, sentiment and lust. Normally, it
works without breaks as one single piece, but the montage specific
character allows a listener to spin one's own web of twenty four
audio-cells by programming the Letta tracks to playback in any order.
Make your own Evidence! [RAIG]

BARDOSENETICCUBE: DEADHEAD, CD
(Aquarellist)
New album of Bardoseneticcube is the whole surrealistic musical
performance which is impossible to squeeze into the boundaries of any
genre. Six untitled pieces reveal the labyrynth of sonic cobwebs born in
the depths of subconscious mind of Igor Potsukailo and his brothers in
arms (several guest musicians took part in recording sessions - two
guitarists, saxophonist, etc.). The basis for the most tracks is formed
by the hybryd of orchestral-ethno-electronic rhythmics and it's layered
over with melodic lines walking from composition to composition and
completely unexpected samples hardly rationally coordinated with musical
context. For sure, this time Igor's talent has beaten all the
stylistical limitations - the album sounds very organic and energetic.
PRICE: 12 € / $
BARDOSENETICCUBE: XXX, CD
(Aquarellist)
New Bardoseneticcube album is inspired by life and works of Nika Turbina
- a poetess who started to write grown-up tragic poems when she was only
4 years old. "This is not me writing, this is God leading my hand", -
the small girl used to say. First Nika's book of poems came out when she
was only 9, and was later translated in 12 languages. After living
pathologically strange life, receiving the most prestigious poetic prize
"Golden Lion", and being held in mental hospital, at the age of 27 Nika
tragically died falling down from the 5th floor window. The musical
dedication of Bardoseneticcube is presented in 12 untitled tracks filled
with surrealistic feelings and some childish morbidity. Obscure loops
and industrial soundscapes are buried under a pile of rhyme wreckage,
melody fragments and almost chaotic manifold of strange sounds.
PRICE: 12 € / $
CISFINITUM: V, CD
(Waystyx Records)
"V" is the aural extension of audiochemy method developed by both
Cisfinitum members (Voronovsky and Norvila) in Audioform Studio during
recent two years, using synthesis of classical composition, industrial
aesthetics and tonal noise layers. Listening to Cisfinitum music,
everyone can feel physically the exclusive aloofness and impartiality
preceding the heterogeneity and time collaps. Long transitions between
initial states, sudden dynamic outbursts and again desolate spaces where
apprehensions are the only way to think. This album is notable not only
by background contents but by sounding too: the deliberately reduced
quality is remained in the past, agressive alienation changed to the
introspective one. The atmosphere of sci-fi cinema of the 70-80s is back
- cold, dark, mysterious but nevertheless open-minded and reality
engaged. For those of you who like to use CD-ROM for anything labelled
with "compact disc" logo, the nice surprise is waiting. [label info]
PRICE: 12 € / $
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 LAW: BEYOND IO, CD

PRICE: 12 € / $
HERBST9: BURIED UNDER TIME AND SAND, CD
(Loki Foundation)
The natural sound stands with Herbst9 and the ritual motives developing
visionary sequences. The third album can not be reduced to a certain
basic feeling, and it can not be categorized as pure ambient music. That
is simply one of the most sensitive and most concentrated records for a
long time, direct, endlessly devoured and deep. [Loki]
Comes in beautiful digipack and extensive booklet.
PRICE: 12 € / $
H.E.R.R.: VONDEL'S LUCIFER - FIRST MOVEMENT, CD
(Cold Spring)
Taken from the Dutch playwright's 17th century opus, 'Lucifer', this
release tells of heavenly discontent amid a jealous tale of angelic
rebellion in the face of God's love for humankind. Containing half-sung
and spoken vocals, a gentle folk-like melody, baroque composition and
rich musical arrangements, this album introduces the first three acts in
75 bombastic minutes. Guest appearances from members of Ostara, While
Angels Watch, Belborn and Sagittarius. [Cold Spring]
PRICE: 12 € / $
JOHN WATERMANN: CALCUTTA GAS CHAMBER, CD
(Cold Spring)
The concept of aurally conveying the horror of a gas chamber was
realised through field recordings in an abandoned electrical power
station in Brisbane in 1992. The sounds are grating and harsh, a mixture
of field recordings and electronic manipulations. One can rarely
pinpoint a location or action but the images and sounds conjure up all
sorts of nefarious activites related to death by machinery. The sleeve
notes take you into the horror that is the Calcutta Gas Chamber. A
beautifully composed and produced CD, completely remastered and
re-packaged. [Cold Spring]
PRICE: 12 € / $
KADAVER: GOD HAS LEFT THE BUILDING, CD-R
(Mask Of The Slave)
Kadaver is a 1man project by Michael Zolotov from Israel. Active since
2003 (yet the first release came out on 2005). The sounds of Kadaver
shifts from dark and twisted ambient through industrial till harsh noise
and power electronics. This is NOT art nor music. Kadaver is NOT an
artist trying to "creatively express himself" via this format. This is a
cancer. It’s sickness. It’s a warm streaming vomit of hatred towards
life, humans and existence. It’s the knife in your hand when nightmares
twist your dreams. It’s the emptiness that devours your meaningless
being and bleed as tears of decay over it. This is not for anyone...
This is Kadaver. Cd-r in DVD case with pro-cover, limited to 150 copies.

OOPHOI: THE RUSTLING OF LEAVES, CD
(Faria Records)
Originally this album was issued on CD-R in a limited edition of 150
copies only. It has been sold out very fast and deleted. Now this
release has new quality studio mastering and a bonus track, which
supplements organically the conceptual picture of the album, and special
artwork: a cover with a centre spread and 6 cards inside – thereby each
track has also an art idea. The album has been created in a classical
Oöphoi-style. Sound collages and moods remind of his early works, such
as "Spirals of time" and "Three lights at the end of the world". The
music immerses the listener in autumn-winter landscapes, when nature has
already fallen asleep, and winter is about to cover vivid autumn clothes
with its white blanket. The ghostly female vocal in the first track sets
the necessary aspect of perception at once, and after that listeners
should only enjoy the different sides of autumn mood and drown into the
world full of magic, peace and calmness. [label info]

SADKARMA: SOLIS E.P., CD-R
SadKarma is the phenomenon of the experience of pleasure, through the
perception of balance and proportion of stimulus. It involves the
cognition of a balanced form and structure that elicits attraction and
appeal towards a person or an inanimate object. SadKarma is the bedlam
of organic ambience with decoration & fluctuation in its purest form.
The frames of the music bear fragments from certain eras of artists like
Swans and Coil but the painting itself has drifting textures far more
beautiful. [SPE]
Professionally executed CDR release with full colour sleeve & label.

THE SPACE VOYAGE / SOUND DESIGN BY VETROPHONIA, DVD-R
(Zhelezobeton Film)
The science fiction film "The Space Voyage" was first shown in Soviet
cinema theatres in January 1936. The showing was preceded by two years
of work at Mosfilm studio done on a firm scientific basis - the
consultant of the project was Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. With his help
Soviet cinematographers managed to create a surprisingly realistic image
of a journey to the Moon for that time - long before the beginning of
real space research. The film narrates about the bravery of young
pioneers, the willingness of Soviet women to always come to aid, the
fearlessness of scientists and their determination to sacrifice their
lives in the name of science. Serious approach to shooting didn't
prevent the director V. Zhuravliov and the screenwriter A. Filimonov
from treating the plot with humour, but in general the picture is just
saturated with powerful heroic spirit! The original film had a
soundtrack compiled of various classical music compositions. But what
can be more appropriate to the constructivist spirit of Soviet time than
the retro-futurism of St. Petersburg's noise scene classics? The
Vetrophonia duet consisting of Nickolay Soudnick (ZGA) and Alexander
Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass, Stalnoy Pakt, Veprisuicida, etc.) solved
this task with enthusiasm. During 2005 while working in the ZGA studio
they laboriously collected samples, recorded the parts of electronic and
acoustic instruments and composed collages for each specific scene of
the film. The result turned out to be beyond all praise. The DVD-R with
the movie has an option of turning on English subtitles, comes with a
booklet containing an article about the shooting process and is packed
in a special cardboard sleeve. [press-release]

DEAD MAN'S HILL: LAKES OF SACRIFICE, CD
(Bugs Crawling Out of People)
Dead Man's Hill has been brewing and gaining strength in the dark
underground of the Belgium Death Industrial scene since 1998. Having
released four limited edition full length cdr albums and a split disc,
the time has at last come for Dead Man's Hill to reveal his full
potential. With Lakes of Sacrifice, his best cd release to date, Dead
Man's Hill makes his sound widely available to a North America audience,
striking out from Canadian label Bugs Crawling Out of People.
Dead Man's Hill represents the pinnacle of the Death Industrial scene,
offering a brilliant blend of militaristic drums, epic orchestrations,
and dark sensibilities. Tired of computer constructed sounds? Bored of
standard beats? Had enough of bands following simplistic formulas,
conforming themselves to be clones of the newest trend? Dead Man's Hill
defies these limitations, with a sound that is both classic and renewed;
a sound that crosses, combines, and surpasses the subgenres, resulting
in a tour de force of industrial, gothic, neo-classical and neo-folk.
Lakes of Sacrifice is a powerful entity with a horror movie soundtrack
feel; it is classic industrial in the old school way, yet will surprise
and reveal something new to the listening audience.
The disc features the incredibly powerful collaborative track "Sacrifice
of Subscription" with spoken word artist it-clings and a remix of
"Legions of Coldness" by Nick Gorman of Fractured. Mastered by famine.

GELSOMINA: NOSTALGHIA, CD
(MIR)
Finally Gelsomina's obliterative 'Nostalghia' is available in its
intended, appropriate format. This gem originally passed the world by as
a c-60 on the Australian label Smell The Stench. Now rescued from the
shackles of low-budget tape reproduction 'Nostalghia' sparkles in its

mercilessly attacks from every angle. Gelsomina is already a recognised

editions - not to mention some stellar releases for Freak Animal - all
leading to this essential, absolutely necessary assault of a release.

live-EP Haeretici, Schismatici, Excommunicati (SPECDR06037) received

crackling rhythms. Liddikoatight is a new Japanese band with Kouhei
Matsunaga among others. Leif Elggren, from Sweden, has worked with sound
and performance art since 1980 and has a long list of releases, books

OBLIVION ENSEMBLE: SERAPHIM HALLUCINO, CD
(Malignant)
The music of Oblivion Ensemble remains as elusive and surreal as the
ever-shifting cast of musicians and performerswho participate,
knowingly, or unknowingly in their work.Founding members are John
Bergstrom and Brannon Hungness (aka Figure). Hungness is a virtuoso
experimentalguitarist and composer and a former member of the Glenn
Branca Ensemble. Bergstrom is a computer-musicgearhead and a film
composer with a classical music pedigree, and mastermind behind the
industrial-noise assembly Torse. Seraphim Hallucino is Oblivion
Ensemble’s fifth full-length release, the first since the virtual opera
“Nightmare:Sinistrotorse” (Complacency, 1995). At Seraphim Hallucino’s
source are strange, electro-acoustic improvisations of percussion,
trumpet, voice, synthesizers and guitar. These improvisations are
sculpted and sampled, twisted and turned, shaped into building and
diminishing moments, and, at times appearing alone, pure and unmodified.
Deeply imbedded in the music and fragmented lyrics are secrets,
intertwining themes, voices, and imprinted messages. All come together
to create an enormously complex, mercurial mix of surreal, dynamic and
dark sounds. To fully appreciate the scope and intricacies of Seraphim
Hallucino, headphones in a darkened room are highly recommended. “ The
band most likely to compose a fitting soundtrack for the end of the
world. ” Sorted magAZine.“ Visionary gothic pyschedelia. ” The Wire.“
the most undefinable gorgeous musical anything that I have ever
witnessed ... a beyond great performance, chilling and anxious. ” Best
of Times. In superb digipak, with artwork by Matt Vickerstaff of
darkwaveart. [Malignant]

OVRO: MOSAICK THE SERPENT / VIPERA AUREA, CD
(Some Place Else)
The new Ovro album consists of two distinct parts, each independent yet
linked to each other. Ovro started working on Mosaick the Serpent
already in late 2003. In the early stage it was to become an independent
EP, but the appearance of Gegendurchgangenzeit delayed its release.
Meanwhile, a companion EP started to take form, namely Vipera Aurea.
These two EPs, Mosaick and Vipera, are twins – independent yet entwined
like the snakes of a caduceus. They support and compliment each other
and form a new whole, a third being that contains both its makers and in
itself is something more. Vipera Aurea is ´coagula´ to Mosaick the
Serpent's ´solve´.
Some of this material has been performed on Ovro's live performances in
2005/06. Those lucky to have witnessed any of these will know the album
is calm yet intense, vocal-flavoured Dark Ambient mindscapes in the
highly regarded Ovrian style.
Mosaic the Serpent / Vipera Aurea features contributions from Massimo of
Black Sun Productions, Niko Skorpio and Mockingwyrd (Kaaos in Eccentris
etc).
Mosaick the Serpent / Vipera Aurea CD comes with two gorgeous 12-panel
foldout sleeves, full of lyrics, liner notes, photos and artwork all
created by Ovro herself. [Some Place Else]

SILENCE & STRENGHT: OPUS PARACELSUM, CD

von Hohenheim, medieval Swiss physician, chemist, alchemist, one of the
fathers of modern medicine and rebellious thinker, developed his own
system of medicine and philosophy.
Limited to 1000 copies - Jewel case.

STEEL HOOK PROSTHESES: LIGHT REFLECTED FROM A COLD CUTTING TABLE, CD
(Pain Compliance)
More great death-industrial from this perhaps under rated project. .11
cuts of cold, very dark, clinical electronics influenced by medical
phobia and fetish, and the frailty of the human condition. From
catatonic atmpsheres to surgically sharp power electronics, Light
Reflected from a Cold Cutting Table has lots of deeply pulsating death
vibes and thick, writhing frequencies amidst a semblance of structure.
Cool, highly processed vocals too. Very good intensity and lots of
layers make for a very complex, entertaining listen, even as it
disturbs. The soundtrack to your next desperate stay in the infirmary.
Should find immediate appeal among fans of Ex.Order, Navicon, etc..

PRICE: 8 € / $
V/A: REVELATION, CD
(Bugs Crawling Out of People)
14 tracks of twisted agony and misguided intentions. From evil
soundscapes to pounding oppressive beats, from the most reckless break
beats to torturous power electronics, revelation is a full assault on
the senses. Born from a melding of text, artwork, and music, it
originated as a short story written by bugs crawling out of people
founder Squid. This conceptual fusion served as the catalyst upon which
an impressive line-up of Industrial musicians focused their artistic
interpretation. The results are phenomenal. CD includes a massive 16
page booklet with complete story and original artwork.

BACK IN STOCK: YEN POX / TROUM: MNEMONIC INDUCTION, CD
(Malignant)
Given their separate history as masters of droning atmospherics, and
their mutual admiration for each others work, a collaboration seemed
only natural. Now, after years of discussion, Mnemonic Induction has
finally materialized, resulting (not surprisingly) in one of the
greatest, most mind bending works of dark ambient ever. A 60 plus minute
exploration through nebulous, grey areas of the mind…expansive drones
and spiraling vortex’ of sound that hover near the shadowy, distorted
zones of a nightmare before ascending to mountainous heights and dense,
billowing climaxes. This has a remarkable, liquidous feel that unfolds
in a fluid, intense nature…patterns converge and meld seamlessly as
layers of sound are added and subtracted; thundering lows rise up from
the abyss, and spiral into the stratosphere, only to dissipate into a
vacuumous black hole. The effect is something that plays on the mind,
recalling moments before complete wakefulness exists…a tattered and
restless dream state where images & thoughts flicker and appear from a
fog. Designed by Stephen O’Malley, housed in an attractive eight panel
digipak with thoughtful text. [Malignant]

Greetings All,
** Aural Hypnox News (11.11.2006)
Out now: Zoät·Aon: 'The Triplex Bestial', CD!
By the careful adjustment and manipulation of both modern and archaic
mediums is created a highly dynamic work of aural alchemy depicting the
trance and dream of a carnal totem standing between Heaven and Earth,
where the unearthly sound of starlight's serpentine arteries winding
together with the blackened branches above mingles with the oneiric
hisses and crackles of necromantic phantoms and slithering roots below.
A barbarous, sonic paradox suggesting the subtle arousal of the ancestry
in flesh, a work both soothing and threatening to the intuitive mind.

Grotowski as he do his last journey among the walking dead. The visions
of Cooper are seen, heard and felt in this avant-garde and exquisitely
dark ambient album from Musterion, Simon AA Kölle (Za Frûmi, Abnocto).
The Black Lodge is a place of murder, dreams, mystery, darkness, ancient
machines, old memories and horror. A shrieking violin swells into a
chaotic babel of sound; a pandemonium that would have lead most men to
doubt their own shaking sanity. Inarticulate cries that only mutes can
utter, and that rises only in moments of the most terrible fear or
anguish. With extreme attention to details this profound opus of the
mind leads the listener away from the normal world and into the world of
the Black Lodge. Garmonbozia! [Horus CyclicDaemon]

OLHON: SINKHOLE, CD
(Eibon)
A cooperative effort of Massimo Magrini (mastermind of the genious BAD
SECTOR) and Zairo (of the ultra-obscure dark ambient travellers WHERE).
"Sinkhole" was composed using original field recordings taken (mainly
underwater) in the "Pozzo del Merro", the world's deepest sinkhole. The
result is an extremely organic, almost "breathing" dark ambient journey.
Very challenging, that's for sure.....
Nobody knows what lies in the abyss. Just sit down and listen to the
sound of the earth's depths. [Eibon Records]
PRICE: 12 € / $

better quality in printing! [Freak Animal]
PRICE: 12 € / $
RORICAT: UKI UKI, CD
(Horus CyclicDaemon)
Russian duo consisting of Eugene & Julica make spacey, abstract
instrumentals. Heavily delayed guitar strumming, accompanied by various
random sounds and minimal hand drum percussion. Light & airy ambient
guitars with subtle rhythms. Very relaxing yet propagates passion.
A strange odd ditty, acoustic guitars, tiny cutesy little lead synth and
sometimes an itty bitty Power Puff girl vocal. Gurgles, burps and blips.
It's great to hear synths playing nice with guitars. The definition of
quirky this is. Indescribable stylistically.
More strangeness, more quality, more inventiveness. Very unique sound! A
bit like David Bowie's "Sound and Vision" (Low).
Beautiful noise. Fascinating cinematigraphic, chaotic dream of drones
and distortions with ambient, multidimensional, psychedelic, ironic, and
hypnotic guitars.
All friends of electronics will be pleased by this amazing dada-like
music from the very north of Siberia... [Horus CyclicDaemon]

Cavernous dark ambient, made out of field recordings taken exclusively

They are coming to catch us..... [Eibon Records]
PRICE: 12 € / $
ZOÄT·AON: THE TRIPLEX BESTIAL, CD
(Aural Hypnox)
By the careful adjustment and manipulation of both modern and archaic
mediums is created a highly dynamic work of aural alchemy depicting the
trance and dream of a carnal totem standing between Heaven and Earth,
where the unearthly sound of starlight's serpentine arteries winding
together with the blackened branches above mingles with the oneiric
hisses and crackles of necromantic phantoms and slithering roots below.
A barbarous, sonic paradox suggesting the subtle arousal of the ancestry
in flesh, a work both soothing and threatening to the intuitive mind.
(total time: 61:05)
Comes in an oversized 4 panel cardboard covers.
Limited to 1000 copies.

CHRISTIAN RENOU & TROUM: DISSOLUTION, CD
(Fario)
For this record, French artist Christian Renou (ex-Brume) composed some
of his most melodic and textural pieces, four tracks united under the
name "Himmelweg" (way to heaven). Subtle drones and shiny metal chimes
join and spread in stretched flashes of Post-Industrial waves. The whole
composition is a wonderful soundscape. After two joint tracks,
(composition by Troum using sounds provided by C. Renou), the German duo
Troum use a ritualistic approach to dive to the core of the strong
themes they link to dissolution: life, suffering and death. All obscure
and magmatic, their long piece “IN-GALEIKON” brings brown flashes from
time to time, treated guitar drones exploring the resources of sadness
in their most creative qualities. Comes in over-sized, fold-out
packaging. Recommended! [Cold Spring]
PRICE: 13 € / $
CLOSING THE ETERNITY: NORTHERN LIGHTS AMBIENCE, 7"
(Drone Records)
CLOSING THE ETERNITY is a Siberian 'cosmic drone' project from
Ekaterinburg and with only a few released CDRs so far, it gained already
kind of cult status for lovers of bleak drone-minimalism. The first
vinyl release shows CTE using original 'northern lights soundings'
together with synths, implementing very cosmic soundwaves with
electronic whirs, sinus-tones and small raspy crater-landscapes inside.
There's a drift towards objectlessness and dissolution in these sounds
where they undergo into non-existence or is it transformation into a
higher existing form? This is the perfect soundtrack to the 'red dawn of
the north'. [Drone Records]
Dark blue vinyl. Covers come with an handmade laser-cut metal logo
PRICE: 6 € / $
IN MEDITARIUM: MARE INTERNUM, 7"
(Drone Records)
IN MEDITARIUM is maybe Ukraine's finest dark ambient-project at this
time, consisting of Sergey Svistelnik (who also runs the UKRAINIAN DARK
SYNDICATE and is musically active as FILIVS MACROCOSMI), and Oleg
Kolyada (mastermind of FIRST HUMAN FERRO (F.H.F.) / ODA RELICTA).
MARE INTERNUM, their first vinyl-release, is a perfect example for
"esoteric organic drones" that impress with their density and fullness:
slowly waving drones, sub-bass pulses, totally suspended & hidden
harmonies appear in the background and soft ringing-tones, like being in
an huge organic cathedral...
Listening to IN MEDITARIUM-sounds might give you an impression of
touching something "unknown", yet known unconsciously from some
forgotten time... like being suspended in warm mothers womb....
The coverartwork shows a combined symbol made of Yantra (meditation),
Rosa (woman) and OM (the absolute), showing the way from Uterus to
Universe.

LUNAR ABYSS DEUS ORGANUM: BRUSNIKA, 7"
(Drone Records)
LUNAR ABYSS (ext.) is the child of Evgueny Savenko from St. Petersburg
who did some excellent releases (Vinyl, CDR, CD) over the past years
with his own peculiar touch of doing this hypnotic-ethno-ambient
industrial music mostly under the name LUNAR ABYSS QUARTET. This very
first 7" EP for L.A.D.O. is a pure aural-shamanistic-journey where heard
and felt are EarthÕs elements and life itself such as fire,
voice-murmurs, strange animals noises, windÕs force and whistles, the
enchanting voice of a woman singing, various softly looped voices are
perceptible throughout this sound journey. All these natural
sound-ingredients are merged into a deeply etched vibrating rhythm of
raw and deepest rumbling analogue sounds. These are the kind of
electro-acoustic drone-pieces that breathes spiritual strength and build
shamanistic atmospheres full of intensity. Each cover is hand-painted
with very colourful Mandala-like forms!!! [Drone Records]

MARTYN BATES & TROUM: TO A CHILD, DANCING IN THE WIND, CD
(Transgredient Records)
For this release, the German ‘transcendental-drone’-duo TROUM teams up
with the legendary British singer / songwriter and EYELESS IN
GAZA-member MARTYN BATES. More than 2 years in the making, MARTYN BATES
has sung & played (mouth organ & melodica) over basic material TROUM
provided – consisting of harmonic minimal loops & basic song structures
derived from accordeon, e-bass & guitar, percussion), who were then also
responsible for the final subsequent additions mastering (adding more
guitar-work, voices & balalaika).
MARTYN BATES has chosen to sing four poems of the famous Irish poet
W.B.YEATS, and he did this with a most impressive sensitivity for
TROUM'S very sublime & rather hidden harmonic structures. There are also
two instrumentals in a more experimental style on this disc, one being a
dark drone reprise of the main piece “MAD AS THE MIST AND SNOW #2”.
MARTYN’s voice is surely not something for everyone – it’s of an extreme
emotional & yearnful quality that might be not easy to stand – a
yearning which is like a deep “cry out to the horizon”, to something
that is unreachable per se, feeling a passion that tears you apart
inside. This is pure emotional poetry transformed into yearnful audible
spherics !
Comes in a 6-panel 4-colour digipack.
PRICE: 13 € / $
RYN: WHISTLE AND I'LL COME TO YOU, 7"
(Drone Records)
RYN is a relatively unheard British duo (with members also active in
drone rock band MARZURAAN & harshnoise project ROMANCE) although they
began musical productivity in early 2003. Since that time they have
amassed an extensive body of work (with few official releases) with this
7" being their first vinyl release. Their drone-style could be described
as ritualistic "power-drone" with an emphasis on fusing the organic and
mechanical. For this 7" solely field recordings were used, a break in
style from their usual ambient wash of guitar generated drones. These
energetic sound-sources build masses of heavy clouds in movement that
flood your mind away. Pure metallic flood-noises that brings a most
welcomed VOID into your mind. [Drone Records]
Dark purple vinyl. Hand-printed with full colour art sheets &
silkscreened covers
PRICE: 6 € / $
THO-SO-AA: DYING REVEAL, 7"
(Drone Records)
This German one-man project has impressed many with his very few
dark-cold-ambient albums over the last years and we are now very proud
to present the very first vinyl release! DYING REVEAL is a surprisingly
enjoyable noisy EP including some mixing of voice-samples, from children
and other voices, blended with distorted drony-synths, long-waving deep
tone-pulsations and electronic bell-like sounds. Become embedded into a
great nostalgic melody at the end of track B (The Undefined). A sombre,
pulsating ambience with many repetitive audio patterns makes this EP an
excellent soundtrack for a trip into the darkest realms. [Drone Records]

VERDE: LEGENDA, CD
(MIR)
Legenda is on one hand a combination and a continuum of different
things, on the other something unique. Listener with a sharp ear and
enlightened mind should be able to locate the past points of reference
for the CD. Legenda is a logical continuum of the 1960s and 1970s wild
electronic experiments and general recklessness of Finnish Underground
Music. Legenda is a logical continuum of Krautrock as bands like Faust,
Can, Neu and Amon Düül presented it for us. Legenda is a logical
continuum of the multiplicity of golden era Pink Floyd (Ummagumma/Atom
Heart Mother) and their perfection in sounds and recording techniques.
Legenda is a logical continuum of the work that was started back in the
day by Nurse With Wound, Throbbing Gristle and such industrial music
pioneers. Legenda is a logical continuum of Miles Davis masterworks such
as Bitches Brew and his live recordings from the same era. The music of
Verde is not meant for superficial listening. Verde challenge their
listeners instead of trying to please them. Legenda is the second
official CD by Verde, lead by electronics wizard/madman Mika Rintala
(ex-Circle, Ektroverde). The first one, Vuoronumero, came out in 2004.
Legenda is co-released by MIR, Zum Teufel and Ruma Puulaaki. Limited
edition of 500 copies. [MIR]
PRICE: 12 € / $
Z'EV: PAST LIFE, CD
(Paranoise Records)
shamanic druming and ritual percussion performed live in cologne by this
pioneer of industrial music. the natural reverb and resonance of the

collossal and ... the instruments are so sparse - it blows peoples
minds." cd is fixed on a metal plate with sticker on the backside.

AS ALL DIE: VICTORY, CD
(Flood the Earth)
Without question the most aggressive martial industrial release from As
All Die to date. Mixes elements of heavy percussion, harsh soundscapes,
aggressive and spoken vocals, droning synths and WWI samples. Not for
the timid! [Red Stream]
PRICE: 10 € / $
KARSTEN HAMRE: BROKEN WHISPERS, CD
(Flood the Earth)
We have just released the debut album from Karsten Hamre entitled Broken
Whispers. Many will be familiar with Karsten through his other projects
such as Penitent, Arcane Art and Veiled Allusions. I must say that this
is really some of the darkest material I have heard from Karsten.
Whereas prior releases have had brief transient rays of light seep
through the cloud of audial despair, Broken Whispers remains void of any
possibility of hope. Total bleak minimalist atmospheres by one of the
masters. [Label info]
PRICE: 12 € / $
SCISSOR SHOCK: WE'RE IN THE TRASH BAG, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
An impossibly fast and noisy blur of technical tape carnage from the
midwestern plunderer SCISSOR SHOCK. Just over ten minutes of insane
dayglo digi-grind-splatter, like a battalion of attacking cassette
players operated by cartoon mice advancing on your burg. Spastic
drumming and hi-speed cassette catastrophe and razor-thin techno bleats
are encoded in puzzle melodies and transmitted direct to your nervous
system. Pretty shoegazer drones and electrocuted cut n' paste sweeten
the cataclysm like Evil Dead on sugar overdose. Packaged in a
hand-assembled, full-color cardsleeve in a resealable plastic sleeve.
Presented in an edition of 250 copies. . [Crucial Bliss]
PRICE: 8 € / $
SKULLFLOWER: TRIBULATION, CD
(Crucial Blast)
Tribulation. The new emission from the UK trance-noise legends
SKULLFLOWER. A black-void beaming of utterly destroyed drone rock and
crushing amplifier obliteration that rains down black ash and punishing
blasts of feedback skree on the listener. A dynamic, bleary-eyed
meditation. An avalanche of powerdrone that threatens to take your
cranium apart and transport your grey matter into filthy new dimensions
infested with melodic razor cuts and submerged mantras. A triumphant
eruption of apocalyptic meta-metal and radioactive raga swarms,
guaranteed to loosen eardrums. This album is one of the heaviest,
harshest slabs of guitar armageddon from Matt Bower since the glory days
of Total, and bridges the void between the krautrock/celestial free
drone influence of the last few Skullflower albums, and the blackened
molten death of his Mirag material. [Crucial Blast]
PRICE: 12 € / $
SOSTRAH TINNITUS: L'ODERE DEL RAMO SPEZZATO, CD

Soft electronic sounds meet the deepest drones - music as a hieroglyph

PRICE: 10 € / $
TVMVLVS SERAPHIM: FORTRESS ERMETICA, CD

A proud, isolationist project offering the listener a symbolic ground

VILLA VALLEY: MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DEADNESS, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
New private-press CD-R on our Crucial Bliss imprint. We've joined up
with the Michigan feedback-violence duo VILLA VALLEY to vomit up Massive
Amounts Of Deadness, a near hour-long, 8 track infestation of extremely
gnarly/fucking awesome free-feedback/noise rock covered in gobs of meat,
amp squeal, and deadness. This is heavy corpse-rumble and hideous death
improv for fans of primo Michigan damage (UNIVERSAL INDIANS, WOLF EYES),
dissasembled noise rock, and Prurient's tube blowing horror. We
assembled a single hand-numbered edition of 100 copies, with jewel cases
blasted in black enamel, and original art from the band. [Crucial Bliss]

ALIO DIE: AUREA HORA, 10"
(Small Voices)
Two exclusive tracks of evocative magmatic soundscapes in the typical
atemporal Alio Die aim. The two completely new recordings (with drones,
loops, zither and integrated radionoises from an old Valvular model) are
similar to early Alio Die experiments or one of his best albums "Sol
Niger". Catching atmospheres will bring you in Stefano's magic world,
which is an oneiric, dreaming journey to the inner self satisfaction...
[Small Voices]
PRICE: 9 € / $
ALIO DIE: UNDER A HOLY RITUAL, 12" LP
(Small Voices)
Re-release of the classic Alio Die masterpiece. "Under an Holy Ritual"
is a ritual ambient milestone and probably the most highly regarded
release from this Italian ambient composer. Remastered for vinyl in 2005.
"Multi-layered sonic densities that can evoke the air of ancient storms
one minute, then ebb like an immense black ocean the next. This knows
how to alter moods with both thick electronic pulses and prehistoric
scrapes of mysterious percussions. Cerebral, spooky, and thought
provoking meditative/ambient music that harkens from a ritualistic
viewpoint." (I/E Magazine)
PRICE: 12 € / $
AMES SANGLANTES: FINAL LIBERATION, CD-R

Brutal Canadian act, whom some of you will know from their work with

ARCHON SATANI: MIND OF FLESH & BONES, CD
(Cold Spring)
The classic Archon Satani album, out of print for over a decade,
remastered and repackaged! Archon Satani are one of the founding voices
of Death Industrial - with their unique style being emulated to this
day. The Swedish duo of Mikael Stravöstrand (Inanna, Mitek) and Tomas
Petersson (Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio) create claustrophobic, ritualistic,
menacing anthems - now unleashed onto a new generation. The Archon
Satani project finished with the Cold Spring releases "The Rightous Way
To Completion" (CD) and "The Final Completion" (10" picture disc) in
1997. [Cold Spring]
PRICE: 12 € / $
ARDITI: STANDARDS OF TRIUMPH, CD
(Equilibrium Music)
Tapping further into the darker tones of Militaristic Neo-Classical
ambiance, Arditi present their strongest effort so far, with their ever
effective use of crushing orchestrations and evocative speeches.
Spearheaded by H. Möller and M. Björkman, Arditi's first recordings came
to light in 1997, inspired by the Italian Futurist Movement of the early
20th century.
Boasting the unique personality of this Swedish combo, "Standards of
Triumph" taps further into the darker tones of Militaristic
Neo-Classical ambiance that has become the band's trademark, resulting
in their strongest effort so far - ever effective in their use of
crushing orchestrations and evocative speeches, Arditi hereby drags the
listener around muddy trenches, leaving aside overly pompous festive
marches or alcohol fueled merry bunker songs which seem to have become
the norm as of late, and casting an hypnotizing veil over the turmoil of
warfare-inspired Industrial soundscapes. [Equilibrium Music]
PRICE: 12 € / $
CLOAMA + GELSOMINA: THE DUELLISTS, CD
(New Old Sentinel)
Uncompromising Northern Darkness. Unhealthy doses of extreme
frequencies. Head-splitting fucking noise. Combining extreme noise
blasting and oppressive ambient passages constructed with such vision
and skill it'll make you jealous, this might well be your favourite
Harsh Noise/Power Electronics/Death Industrial album of 2006. Hailing
from the fertile underground noise scene of Finland, both Cloama and
Gelsomina have gained strong reputation in the extreme music circles
with their praised (and certainly not without a reason) releases on
several labels around the world. [MIR]

digital format. Only 200 copies is pressed (making total amount of album
therefore 275 LP + 200 CD = 475 copies). "World Of Lies" follows already
trademark style developed on past albums, but with always something new.
Colossal sound of looped metal banging, more noisy and violent
electronics and contains some tracks with louder vocals than in most of
the past releases."World Of Lies" is more more of political nature and
comes in vinyl-box covers with insert including all lyrics. c. 45
minutes playingtime contains heavy death-industrial / modern power
electronics what you can't confuse to works of other artists. [Freak

DES ESSEINTES: MONDO MACABRO, CD
(Malignant Records)
A classic example of what’s old is new! With Mondo Macabro, we’ve
conveniently compiled all of your favorite des Esseintes vinyl releases
since 2000, remastered them, boosted them to eye popping levels, and if
that weren’t enough, added 3 bonus, unreleased tracks to top it off! 12
tracks in total, spanning the Muse (2000) and On/Off (2002) 7”s, the
split LP with Magmax (2001), and the split 10” (2001) with Negru Voda. A
great history lesson in the short existence of des Esseintes, each track
on each subsequent release just seems to up the ante, with one track
more crushing than the next…. a steady, doom filled procession of
post-apocalyptic, tribal percussion, deadening, jackhammer rhythms, and
dramatic, suspense filled atmospheres. When Armageddon hits, rest
assured, you’ll have your soundtrack. Mandatory!! [Malignant]

(Abgurd)
Album `Shadows` by EONIC - a project from the South of Russia - was

web-zines. Reviewers noticed reminiscences of ANTHESTERIA, WEJDAS,
DONIS, AMETHYSTIUM, DELERIUM & even ALLERSEELEN `Venezia` &
`Neueschwabenland`. `Shadows` brings forth 50+ minutes of calm, soft
electronic Ambient with a touch of oriental-style melodies. The album
takes you to absolute serenity from Beyond. With its marvelous pieces it
builds castles in the air, creates out-worlds, spreads forth yearning
for the parallel spaces. [Abgurd]

E.P.A.: BLACK ICE, CD
(Dorobo)
Darrin Verhagen, in tugging on a thread of viciousness which has lain
subdued and understated for most of Shinjuku Thief's backcatalog, was
surprised to pull up a 42 minute slab of sonic violence which is as
unmerciful as it is exquisitely crafted. Under his new power electronics
pseudonym 'e.p.a.' we find a finely balanced tension between visceral
chaos and deliberate nastiness.
If all the Shinjuku Thief albums which preceded it suggest the ghostly
existence of a dark world, "black ice" delivers the map, the accelerator
and the searing pain upon arrival.

GOATVARGR: S/T, CD
(Cold Spring)
A harsh journey of sound structures summoned from the deepest caverns of
Hell by the scene's most prolific madmen, Nordvargr (SE) and Goat (USA).
Working with each other's source material, they offer up a brutal and
violent masterpiece. Not just a head on noise album, but a refined
symphony of bestial lust, worship and violence. Goatvargr is an assault
on the senses, appealing to both the metal and noise scenes (for fans of
MZ.412). Ltd x 1000 in gloss digipak. [Cold Spring]

GRUNT: SEER OF DECAY, 2 x CD
(Freak Animal)
Landmark of Grunt's almost 15 year long career. This double CD is
actually first real studio CD. Debut CD on Les Disquis Bruitistes label
released back in 1997 was mere collection of whatever tracks remained
unpublished, unrelated to eachother. After that, all discs were either
split, collaboration or re-release of tapes/CDr's with bonus live tracks
etc. Therefore this double CD is first "aimed to be album" kind of Grunt
CD release, essential for anyone who wants to see how Grunt sounds like
as well as complete their collection of Grunt. It is suitable no matter
what side of project's work ("harshnoise" or "pe/industrial") you enjoy.
-1st disc offers constructed power electronics/noise, close to earlier
well known Grunt releases as "Europe After Storm" or "Terror &
Degeneration". Heavy loops and analogue electronics with samples and
violent vocal attacks are combined with painful sounds of screeching
iron and rusty metal. Also unusual methods with keyboards and other
unusual elements are hidden into songs.
-2nd disc offers long tracks of colossal sound of industrial-noise orgy.
Coarse and harsh sound of completely acoustic metal noise, starting from
disturbing screech and clangs, ending up into full scale noise orgy.
About 2 hours of Grunt p.e.-noise is packaged in no less than 50 page
pro-printed paperback-book covers! Includes lyrics and plenty of
artwork. [Freak Animal]

GUSTAF HILDEBRAND: PRIMORDIAL RESONANCE, CD
(Cyclic Law)
Gustaf's second full lenght is a unique, evolved experience offering you
to embark upon an odyssey through ancient and lifeless surroundings.
Sweeping ambient soundscapes and delicate textures mingle with the
distant shrieks of surreal machinery - conjuring up images of abandoned
and forgotten places, clouded skies and dead cities where time has been
standing still. A captured moment from a strange no man's land lit by a
perpetual gloom, Primordial Resonance is a voyage only limited by the
imagination of the listener.
First 1000 copies come in an oversized fold out cover (A5). 6 Tracks.

HAERETICI 7o74: HAERETICI, SCHISMATICI, EXCOMMUNICATI, CD-R
(Some Place Else)
Hæretici 7o74 is a duo of Ovro and Niko Skorpio. Joining forces, the
artists bring together the more meditative and ritualistic elements of
their solo works, blending it to something completely new. Recognizable,
but distinct. Hæretici 7o74 concentrates on live performances, enjoying
the organic and interactive feel of playing live, with its often
surprising turns and twists.
Haeretici, Schismatici, Excommunicati is the band's first release, and
contains the recording of the group's live performance at club Syntesia
in Tampere, Finland in January 2006. Here, deep dark ambient soundscapes
meet creeping rhythms and ecstatic oriental vibes. This is musical
heresy, where the alchemical potential of not playing by the rules or
expectations comes abloom. Purists, clinging on to their cherished
dogmas in the dust of their crumbling temples, will be itching to burn
these heretics alive. [Some Place Else]

IGOR KRUTOGOLOV: MUZIKA ELEKTRONIKA, CD-R
(T'an! Kaven!! Ash!!!)
Igor Krutogolov, Israeli composer and musician, participates in a large
amount of musical projects, such as collaborations with 'Chaos as
Shelter', 'Bastard Noise', 'Agnivolok', 'Tidal', 'Crossfishes', 'NJD'
and others. He is also founder of projects as 'Kruzenshtern & Parohod',
'Igor Krutogolov Karate Band Toy Orchestra' (a mini big band plays
grind-core, black metal, rock-n-roll and tango on toy instruments) and
others, wrote the soundtrack for the animated film 'Wardrobe' by
Japanese directors Yamamoto Hiromi & Takayuri Iwasawa. Contributed
tracks to "Tel Aviv Aftermath"(Topheth Prophet), "Infernal Proteus"(Ajna
Offensive) and more.
'Muzika Elektronica' is a solo work by Igor Krutogolov. 'Muzika
Elektronica' is clearly noise orientated and built using an
instrumentarium of drums, washing machine, bass (with cello bow), drum
machine and voices. Loud eruptions of distorted sounds with an
incredible detailed structure leave just the right amount of breathing
room in the form of slow (delicious) bass driven beats and quiet,
melodical passages. Noise extraordinaire!' Esc.Rec.

PRICE: 8 € / $
IMMACULATE:GROTESQUE: TERRITORY, CD-R
(RRRecords)
6 tracks varying from densely constructed noise walls to more spacious
atmospheric tracks. Its a very odd release, words fail me to describe it
well. The material is mostly inspired by continued failure, bringing on
complete lack of confidence, which in turn creates further failure. The
sound and feel of the release ended up being alot less aggressive or
devastating than some I:G, but in turn, more depressing and pathetic.

KARJALAN SISSIT: TANSSIT ON LOPPU NYT, CD
(Cyclic Law)
4th full lenght and 2nd for Cyclic Law from one of Sweden's most
respected Martial/Industrial act. Quoted from Markus Pesonen himself
"This is my personal W.A.R. against everything that reveals my hate! You
are the enemy! "... so you can expect a logical follow up to his last
album where Anti socialism, Bitterness, Alcoholism and his Finnish roots
are still at the center stage of his purpose and where harsh industrial
passages, aggressive vocal lines and soft ambient textures collide with
intense bombastic outbursts. The album was again exquisitely produced by
Peter Bjärgö at Erebus Odora. [Cyclic Law]

KRISTOFFER NYSTRÖMS ORKESTER: BRAKEHEAD, CD
(Malignant Records)
Kristoffer Nyströms Orkester (KNO) is a collaborative project between
Peter Nyström (Megaptera/Negru Voda) and Kristoffer Oustad (V:28). A
true sonic beat down, done in full Scandinavian style, with a battery of
iron fisted rhythms hammering down in a thunderous downpour, and the
caustic reverberations of the analog doom machine grinding and
screeching in a symphony of clangorous and distressed beauty. This is an
album that is as majestic as it is bleak, capturing the essence of old
school Swedish industrial, but forging a new path towards a dark
future.From auralpressure.com: "Brakehead" is a phenomenally majestic
piece of dark ambience and noise that will leave you totally awe struck.
The visceral raw power of the electronics is a thing of untamed beauty
that heralds in a new era by which others must now be judged against."
Check out other reviews in the reviews section. A must for fans of
Megaptera, Negru Voda, and all things Peter Nystrom. In stylish digipak.

NIKO SKORPIO: ESCAPE FROM HEAVEN, CD
(Some Place Else)
Escape from Heaven is the fruit of a lengthy period of hard work, the
music has been composed in 2000-2005. The musick could be described as
'industrial', mostly because it pays homage to the early Industrial
groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Coil or Psychic TV by being a
wide-ranged beast of experimentation as well as fusion of diverse
styles. Skorpio's wide-ranged musical background shines through in
Escape from Heaven; from the deep dark ambient soundscapes of last
year's The Hidden Nameless album, down to the cult bands Thergothon and
This Empty Flow that Niko formed in the 90's. Despite the rather diverse
contents, Escape from Heaven is musically a solid package. Escape from
Heaven also carries a loose storyline that can be interpreted in occult,
mythological, social and personal levels. Basically the album is a
Manifesto of personal Liberation and a declaration of war against all
forces of boredom and stagnation. [Some Place Else]

NORTHAUNT: HORIZONS, CD

most haunting release so far.

SHINJUKU THIEF: DEVOLUTION, CD
(Dorobo)
Presented as a Limited Edition of strictly 500 copies only, Shinuku
Thief's latest album is Verhagen's 4th soundtrack for the Australian
Dance Theatre. A dynamic underscore, fusing Shinjuku's requisitely epic
cinematic flair with timbral edge, abrasive electronics and
microstructural rupture. The album is full of chaotic rhythms and
distortion, something like a mix between Darrin's E.P.A. project and the
Shinjuku Thief album "Medea". This work premiered at the Adelaide
Festival this year and will tour the world in 2007.
PRICE: 12 € / $
SHINJUKU THIEF: MEDEA, CD
(Dorobo)
Originally composed for a controversial staging of the classic greek
tragedy, "medea" is shinjuku thief's most dramatic, dynamic and sinister
work to date. Notwithstanding its extreme violence, it might also be one
of their most beautiful.
Fragile melodies sung by boy sopranos float above demonic choirs and
malevolent orchestras only to be ripped apart by screaming sheets of
industrial noise.
Oscillating between lush musical seduction and a level of brutality as
yet unprecedented across the band's backcatalog, "medea" will appeal to
fans running the gambit of dead can dance, raison d'etre and in
slaughter natives in one corner to merzbow, and brighter death now in
the other.

STROM.EC: MANUAL OF DIAGNOSIS, CD
(Neuroscan)
"Listen to the sounds of torment from a lobotomized nervous system and
spasms of hallucinatory madness. STROM.ec is back with a painful pure
industrial experience from rhythmless, smoking, burning, nauseating
ambiences to vibrant cosmic pulsations which either unite with God or
the worst nightmare of schizophrenia. Never afraid to take one
progressive step further, STROM.ec has progressed from power electronics
to a parapsychological frenzy of influences and alternate states of mind
that border on the clinically deranged. Definitely not easy-listening
music but the added depth of production and audio technology is sure to
tune your subconscious to become one with STROM.ec's extreme, damned and
perverted sensory suggestion. "The Manual Diagnosis" is conceived as a
concept album on surgical lobotomy.
Edition of 500x. CD comes in DVD case with color artworks."

SUBINTERIOR: THE CHRYSALIS SECRET, CD-R
(Afe)
"The Chrysalis Secret" is Andrea Freschi's fourth work and comes after
the self-released "Outfall" and "Insomnie" (both recently re-issued as a
full-lenght disc by Silentes), and "Obstacles", which was released in
Japan by Deserted Factory.
"The Chrysalis Secret" is a long evocative track divided in three parts.
The journey begins with a sort of repeated bell-like sound which is soon
backed by an unsettling and obsessive echoed pad.
Along the road we encounter deep drones - both of a windy and metallic
nature - and abstract textures keep on overlapping themselves creating
slow but ever changing atmospheres, like an infinite serie of
reflections created by subtly different distorting mirrors. Low
frequencies make room for more recognizible sounds of what seem to be
flowing water and animals. We can even imagine (...or are they really
there?) a few piano notes at some point... Sometimes the music seems to
stop and drones turn into a minimalistic affaire, but suddendly melodies
emerge from the background filling the air with colours for a while,
just before turning back to black again. Intertwined with some
isolationist passages, "The Chrysalis Secret" offers many abstract
moments and more complex sections of aural psychedelia. We can't help to
recommend it, even to our most demanding listeners. [Afe]
PRICE: 8 € / $
SUB LUNA: IN THE SHADE OF TIME, CD

THELEMA: BURNT MEMORIES, CD
(Small Voices)
Nine years after their last release (Night of Pan), the Italian
Dark-Folk Wave band par excellence have finished a new collection of
songs, now available on SmallVoices. The band was born in the winter of
1984, when former Throbs of Pleasure Giorgio Parmigiani and former Les
Blousons Noirs Massimo Mantovani met in some punk rehersal room in
Modena, their hometown. The third original member was former T.A.C.
Gregorio Bardini, and together they gave birth to a band influenced by
the ideas, philosophy and magickal opus of Aleister Crowley. “Thelema”
was the obvious choice for a name. Thelema were immediately hailed as
one of the best gothic bands in Italy, even if their roots were punk and
their leanings were more towards experimental and industrial sounds, as
the many tapes produced through the years testify. The original cell,
Giorgio and Massimo, has never been broken, altough many other musicians
have joined them through the years. One thing must be said: even if
their releases are not many, they never quit. Even when the band split
(more than once and for long spans of time), the magickal link between
them always kept them busy working, through music or other media, on the
discovery and realization of their True Wills. And now they’re back.
Mature and disillusioned, self produced. Once again, they’re hard to
label. Once again the sounds have changed. BURNT MEMORIES is different
from NIGHT OF PAN, which was different from TANTRA, which was different
from ROSA+CROCE (see their site - www.thelemaband.com - for a list of
all their releases). The old strenght is not immediately here, as the
music seems softer (but - who knows? - the live set could be a BIG
surprize) and more oblique (Eno is one of Massimo’s heroes) than ever,
but the violence is still present in the lyrics and in the story/concept
which links all the songs in BURNT MEMORIES, and so is the Magick, that
they never abandoned and which has never abandoned them.

Greetings All,
** Aural Hypnox News (16.6.2006)
Out now: Arktau Eos: 'Mirrorion', CD!
Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached as singular
gateways or a slowly unfolding journey of epic proportions, the debut
album of ARKTAU EOS is a challenging, complex work. Born of intense
private musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned by man and
further refined in the temple-laboratory of the duo, it is the
distillation of seven arduous months of work.
As the title suggests, 'Mirrorion' is the music of stellar light thrown
down from the Heaven's zenith and its eldritch reflections in the depths
below, uniting atavistic elemental noise with serene passages of
crystalline, spectral ambience. Ultimately, 'Mirrorion' seeks to surpass
such earthly definitions in favour of a non-dual vision of reality,
hopefully transforming the listener in the process.
For this recording ARKTAU EOS have favoured an organic approach with
majority of instrumentation being of acoustic variety, including the
unearthly choral of the kanglings, piercings blasts of windbones,
accelerating steel-plate rolls, singing bowl and various kinds of
stringed instruments.
Comes in an six-panel, A5 booklet. Limited to 1000 copies. PRICE: 12 € / $
Also, the second offering from our CD-R -section: Arktau Eos: 'Scorpion
Milk', CD-R!
'Scorpion Milk' consists of a single album length track, which is best
apprehended in a meditative state with minimum outside interference. It
is truly a "Mirror Noir" to the album itself - its shadowy companion,
the candle-bearer who responds to no call but silence itself. The music
can be likened to a dark well, the oily surface of which not only
reflects the phantasms of mind recalled through participation in the
"Mirrorion" cycle, but is occasionally broken by scorpionic surges of
primal Power invigorating the act of contemplation.
The effect is equal parts unsettling and soothing; the way forward to
the next ARKTAU EOS outing seen through a spectral kaleidoscope.
Performed and mixed live using mainly obscure ´70s electronica on a real
reel tape, it is the antithesis of the sterile, lifeless sound and
attitude of our times; a connoisseur's choice that stands alone despite
its undercurrents flowing from the heart of 'Mirrorion'.
Comes in a plastic slim case with hand-painted textures and an insert card.
Limited and numbered edition of 222 copies (first 80 copies are included
in the 'Mirrorion' -deluxe box). PRICE: 8 € / $
In addition to the aforementioned releases, we are proud to present the
Arktau Eos 'Mirrorion - Deluxe Box':

PRICE: 12 € / $
ARKTAU EOS: SCORPION MILK, CD-R
(Aural Hypnox)
'Scorpion Milk' consists of a single album length track, which is best
apprehended in a meditative state with minimum outside interference. It
is truly a "Mirror Noir" to the album itself - its shadowy companion,
the candle-bearer who responds to no call but silence itself. The music
can be likened to a dark well, the oily surface of which not only
reflects the phantasms of mind recalled through participation in the
"Mirrorion" cycle, but is occasionally broken by scorpionic surges of
primal Power invigorating the act of contemplation.
The effect is equal parts unsettling and soothing; the way forward to
the next ARKTAU EOS outing seen through a spectral kaleidoscope.
Performed and mixed live using mainly obscure ´70s electronica on a real
reel tape, it is the antithesis of the sterile, lifeless sound and
attitude of our times; a connoisseur's choice that stands alone despite
its undercurrents flowing from the heart of 'Mirrorion'.
Comes in a plastic slim case with hand-painted textures and an insert card.
Limited and numbered edition of 222 copies (first 80 copies are included
in the 'Mirrorion' -deluxe box).
PRICE: 8 € / $
ARKTAU EOS: MIRRORION, CD
(Aural Hypnox)
Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached as singular
gateways or a slowly unfolding journey of epic proportions, the debut
album of ARKTAU EOS is a challenging, complex work. Born of intense
private musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned by man and
further refined in the temple-laboratory of the duo, it is the
distillation of seven arduous months of work.
As the title suggests, 'Mirrorion' is the music of stellar light thrown
down from the Heaven's zenith and its eldritch reflections in the depths
below, uniting atavistic elemental noise with serene passages of
crystalline, spectral ambience. Ultimately, 'Mirrorion' seeks to surpass
such earthly definitions in favour of a non-dual vision of reality,
hopefully transforming the listener in the process.
For this recording ARKTAU EOS have favoured an organic approach with
majority of instrumentation being of acoustic variety, including the
unearthly choral of the kanglings, piercings blasts of windbones,
accelerating steel-plate rolls, singing bowl and various kinds of
stringed instruments.
Comes in an six-panel, A5 booklet. Limited to 1000 copies.
PRICE: 12 € / $

New arrivals in the BSAH distribution on-line store (5.4.2006)
BACK IN STOCK: ALUMINUM NOISE: OUTNUMBERED AND FATIGUED: ROMANTIC MUSIC,
CD-R
(Mechanoise Labs)
Outnumbered and Fatigued is a personal journey through sound, whetever
lush, lo-fi or openly noisy. Meet the People of the Volcano, contemplate
their Secret Temple, face your wandering dreams and nightmares in aural
swamps, and then finally stumble down for the Small Death. As the last
murmurs gradually fade like the colors on a old photograph, time has
only left two things for us : memories and emotions.
PRICE: 8 € / $
BARDOSENETICCUBE: BAD HEAVEN, CD-R

of the icon found in old Ural village, burnt inserts, 222 copies.
PRICE: 9 € / $
BACK IN STOCK: CHAOS AS SHELTER / THE HOLLOWING: HEAVENLY LETTER, CD-R
(Mechanoise Labs)
Appearing at times of despair and plagues across Europe, the flagellants
believed in punishing themselves in the hope that God would not. Their
processions of self-flagellation lasted 33½ days, matching the number of
years in Christ’s life, and served as penance for their sins and those
of others.
The Heavenly Letter refers to the text that they believed was a direct
ultimatum from God himself: humanity, failed and corrupt, had one last
chance at reform before the destruction of all life. Denounced as
heretics by the Church, they were persecuted and driven underground.
During the Black Death in 1348, the same letter reappeared with an added
paragraph that addressed the plague, and became the manifesto of a
reborn flagellant movement. As times went on and the world didn't end as
expected, enthusiasm for self-scourging waned and the movement dispersed.
The work here isn't easily digested and is often demanding of one's
senses. Slow, churning drones collapse into clattering bells, wheels of
noise rotate themselves to oblivion and disembodied flutes and voices
accompany the procession on its way to absolution. Sound throbs as one
writhing body, and then explodes into morsels of granulated flesh,
purity found once again.
PRICE: 8 € / $
GOVERNMENT ALPHA: PROSPECTIVE MASSACRE, CD-R

Govt. Alpha is Yasutoshi Yoshida from Tokyo - Japan.

PRICE: 8 € / $
BACK IN STOCK: MAGWHEELS: LANTERNS, CD-R
(Mechanoise Labs)
A powerful and eloquent release that combines the best aspects of
lucious textures, melancholic processed guitars and well-used noises.
Reminiscent of some Controlled Bleeding material around their "Songs
from the ashes" period, the disc gradually explores different directions
without losing its focus on its warm and particular sound. Emotional and
vibrant at times, calm and thoughtful at others, "Lanterns" casts its
light across 8 tracks, capturing both the brightness and the shadows,
the melodies and the dissonance. [Mechanoise Labs]
PRICE: 8 € / $
POOCHLATZ: VICTIMS OF SELF PRESERVATION, CD
(self-released)
Against all odds, we strive for excellence – we pray for prey, but
shudder helpless – what's the meaning of this perverse? I've got them
infecting on the flaws, questioning the truth – if needed, they will
convert heaven into a burning hollow space – but once anxiety will slap
me back, sanity will strike some points – could it be that everyone
needs a miss to flourish? Get down to it and finish the job: Poochlatz
debut CD, Victims of Self Preservation, is out now - a limited edition
of only 999 copies!!!
PRICE: 12 € / $
BACK IN STOCK: RUPOR UDARA / KRYPTOGEN RUNDFUNK:
CARNAL PANZER RITUAL / SENDUNG FüR DEINES MARK, CD-R
(Mechanoise Labs)
Gathering two russian projects involved in the Zhelezobeton label, this
split demonstrates the cold, heart-freezing power electronics of Rupor
Udara and the old-school electric discharges of Kryptogen Rundfunk in an
essential and condensed 36 minutes.
As soon as the pulsating loops and suffocating piano lines of
"Demagnetizator" kick in, Rupor Udara builds up an emotional and
painfully brutal world of raw vocals and understated melancholy, with
tracks such as "My Daughter Is No More" proving themselves to be
monuments to his skills.
During the second part of the split, the focus shifts to Kryptogen
Rundfunk's cunning abuse of analog retro-electronics and pounding
drones. "Sendung für deines Mark" is only a small sampling of what this
project has in store for us, but what a sampling it is. Mechanical loops
duel with warm intoxicating bass drones for the spotlight, and once
they've kicked in ("Maschinentanz"), there's no shutting down this engine.
The disc ends with the brief and climatic "Kill n' Dance", welding
together the two projects for 2 minutes of chaotic drumbox madness and
inhuman vocals.
PRICE: 8 € / $
SILENCE & STRENGHT: LE DIVIN CAGLIOSTRO, CD
(The Eastern Front)
A Tribute to the Grand Copht, the creator of the Egyptian Rite of

PRICE: 12 € / $
URNA: MISSADQUUMDAHLE, CD-R
(Abgurd)
This CD-r presents early recordings of well-known Italian Death Ambient
project. Music of those days differs from the sounds you can hear on
CD-rs released by Slaughter Productions - it is harsher, rawer & has a
unique primeval mood. Bells, singing bowls, deviant shrieks & moanings,
raped classical melodies & organ masses wrapp you into a rotting
cerement of pestilential Danse Macabre. The CD-r contains `Templum sub
Terra` MC (released by O.O.D. in 1999) & part of split-MC with
LESCH-NYHAN SINDROME. Also, a CD-r with 4 unreleased tracks of the same
era goes as a bonus for the first 50 copies of the release. All the
tracks are remastered by 121 of VELEHENTOR.

COIN GUTTER: AT PLAY AMIDST THE STRANGENESS AND CHARM, 3" CD-R

Chapter III in the Watchmen Series, At Play… is a jarring journey
through intelligently programmed soundscapes, combining all the charm

previous releases. The 2 man guitar and bass team, known for it's
abrasive sonic attacks, take their layers of manipulated dissonance and
situate them in subtle ambient landscapes. The tracks range from "36
beautiful songs" which plays like an condensed and intensified version
of Fripp and Eno's "An Index of Metals." to the somber "saving grace on
an 8 hour connection" which finds the group delving into more
traditional melodic structures. [Public Guilt]

ILDFROST / UMBRA: POSSUM PLAY FALCON, CD
(Fluttering Dragon)
Conceptual split of two great bands whose principle is Contrast. it is
Umbra that welcomes us at the entering this Realm of Sound. It is almost
two quarters of a real perversion, madness and unexpected tones strictly
conformed to the idea of four aspects of a man's personality, before we
finish that a nighmare-like journey. The night is over, day begins....
We are enchanted by delicate and full of magic melody flowing from
Ildfrost's den.... [Fluttering Dragon]

replication of all original artwork as well as linernotes from Mikawa
himself. [Freak Animal]

NORDVARGR / DRAKH: COLD VOID OF NOTHING, CD
(Fluttering Dragon)
NORDVARGR / DRAKH is an ambient project hailing from the MZ412 camp. The
sound of NORDVARGR / DRAKH is darker and more ambient than the classic

NORTHAUNT: THE OMINOUS SILENCE, CD
(Fluttering Dragon)
The name of the band was taken from Edogawa Ranpo's novel and represents
the great fascination and inspiration in the oriental culture which
reflects in Nicolas d. Faure music - beautiful deep ethno-ambient
soundscapes composed like an original soundtrack with Chinese, Japanese,
Tibetan, Indonesian& Indian instruments as well as many ultra layered
electronic sounds. A strange delicate mix of nature sounds, space moods
and oriental touches turns this album appealing to the fans of Lustmord
and Dead Can Dance.[Fluttering Dragon]
PRICE: 12 € / $
ONIROT: DEUS EX MACHINA, CD
(Inner Gravity Records)
This is the last chapter of the Onirot trilogy. Dark, deep and early
ancient star filled landscapes, which nothing but the wail of souls
dares investigate. These VITRIOL depths, heart-wrenching and inhuman to
an ordinary state of consciousness, appear in awe-inspiring beauty that
renders speechless, when mastered on the plane of the triumph of the will.
In 'Deus Ex Machina' they find their purest expression, this becoming
subtle threads protruding from the abyss of the self: a violent, dreary
explosion of the true master of the lower ego: SET AN. 5 tracks of pure
sonic anxiety will bring the soul in the infinite fear of natural
essence of nothing. A mechanical snake carrying man to the industrial
soul of the city and to the obliteration of his own. A great mixture
between early CIACINTO SCELSI e BELA BARTOK musical experience. [Inner

PAUL BRADLEY AND CRIA CUERVOS: MORAINES, CD-R

British based Paul Bradley and Italian based Cría Cuervos (aka Eugenio

liquid and degrade to static leaving behind it the debris of our lives,
the stones and boulders that weighed us down but where what made us
strong, till, in the end we are all just dust.
A co-release between the artist’s respective labels Twenty Hertz and

SLEEPING PICTURES: NETHER EDGE, CD
(Fluttering Dragon)
Sleeping Pictures is the ongoing musical project of Marc Blackie
(Defacato, Ophedia, Disappointed Virginity) - [Vocals/Lyrics] and Gary
Parsons (Static, Bestinality) - [Guitar and other instruments]. The year
1995 saw both Blackie and Parsons lurking at the time within the lower
regions of South London. A meeting of minds was bound to occur and thus
it did, the pair being brought together by mutual acquaintances on the
basis of their interest in difficult and downright obscure areas of
music, art and literature. Both had previously played and performed with
a number of bands, so the idea of a collaboration was struck upon and
Sleeping Pictures where formed in the summer of that year. Gathering
their composure, the two began creating the now obligatory
experimental/industrial/"call it what you will" noises using whatever
came to hand, whilst not flicking through obscure literature and tapping
their feet to unpopular records. Blackie busied himself with electronics
and occasional vocal duties whilst Parsons
used and abused various household items and musical instruments. A
collaboration with wandering minstrel, medieval re-enactor and one time
Cindytalk member Steven Scutt, saw the music taking on a more musical
and lyrical flavour and the violin arrangements added by one time member
Renée Rosen (Sol Invictus) led to a live performance supporting
Shockheaded Peters and Knifeladder.
Now a song based outfit, as opposed to their first more experimental
incarnation, Blackie took on the vocal and lyrical duties whilst Parsons
began to compose a wide range of music taking in all manner of
contradictory and at the same time complimentary influences and
inspirations. To celebrate the transition, a number of tracks were
recorded at Matt Howden's Red Room studio, leading to requests for
contributions to compilation albums and further collaborative work with
the likes of Tony Wakeford, John Murphy, Hunter Barr, Lloyd James and
Dan Knowler. To this day, two CDs have been released, both in limited
numbers. Backwords consisted of out-takes and live performances and Life
Discounted was a taster of material from Nether Edge. This long delayed
debut album, largely recorded at London's Retina II studios is planned
for release in early 2003 with material for the next album already being
written. Sleeping Pictures have also recorded "The Killing Tide" for the
recent Sol Invitus tribute album and
"Girls and Dogs" for a soon to be released Scott Walker tribute.

STILL: REMAINS, CD
(Public Guilt)
Dälek Turntablist, Still (Hsi-Chang Lin) goes solo and unleashes a dark
ambient masterpiece that borders on sonic terrorism. Created using only
Technics 1200's and an array of effects pedals, Still's REMAINS is not a
"turntablist" record in the traditional sense. Drawing from (and adding
to) the history of alternative turntable use, REMAINS is an ambient
record whose textures at times run side by side with the work of PHILLIP
JECK or APHEX TWIN. Two laborious years were put into the 35 minutes
that comprise the album. Each track was painstakingly mapped out and
played live in the studio. Opening with aggressive noise and evolving
into delicate ambience, REMAINS supersedes the preconceived range of the
turntable, infusing emotion into an otherwise inhuman instrument.

First pressing of 1,000 contains limited edition, hand-numbered art that

THE PSYCHIC PARAMOUNT: LIVE 2002, CD
(Public Guilt)
The Psychic Paramount here is a power trio in the traditional rock
format (guitar, bass, drums) recorded live at performances in Paris,
Lyon, Perpignan, and Napoli in Nov./Dec. of 2002. The group, going on
tour less than one week after their first meeting, is captured at birth
in raw immediate form. Predicating experiments with the authority of
sound and primitive revival upon a rock 'n' roll platform, the music
seeks to evoke a sense of urgency and a release from the banal. A
document of turbulent emergency music grinding its entrance. All tracks
originally recorded to cassette live using one stereo microphone.

VOX BARBARA: OH, HOW THE GHOST OF YOU CLINGS..., 3" CD-R
(Objective-Subjective)
A nineteen-minute epic, based in droning ambience and, at times,
featuring dynamic noise. Frank Smith's triumphant return to the music
scene, after years of silence, will draw immediate comparison with his
previous efforts, "The Five Senses" and "(de)Constructed Ghosts", as
well as Coil's "How to Destroy Angels". A four-minute 192 kbps mp3
excerpt of the track can be found at http://www.subjective.ca/Part of
the budding "Watchmen" family of releases, being ~twenty-minute compact
discs inspired by and dedicated to Alan Moore's "Watchmen" graphic
novel. The complete series of three-inch releases is, in essence, a

Greetings,
** Aural Hypnox News (5.3.2006)
Aural Hypnox is now prepared to reveal more details concerning a work of that
has been in progress in utmost silence and secrecy for a cycle of seven months -
from the dog days of summer to the luminous darkness of Midwinter. An ambitious
body of work, which has slowly gained a life of its own, 'Mirrorion' by ARKTAU
EOS is the chronicle of an harrowing initiatory experience that has culminated
in the creation of seventeen formations that can be approached as pathways or
gates, each illuminating a different facet of a monumental core.
ARKTAU EOS is a duo committed to the exploration of nether realms of our being,
steadfast in their search for a non-dual vision that rises above mundane
cultural connotations, yet remaining spiritually loyal to the archaic roots of
our ancestors.
For more information and mp3 excerpts, we invite you to visit
http://www.helixes.org/arktau-eos/
The album has been sent to press, with an late April release in mind.
Best Regards,
A.H.

New arrivals in the BSAH distribution on-line store (21.2.2006)
BACK IN STOCK: AIDAN BAKER: PERIODIC, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
Periodic features two lengthy new elemental droneworks from Canadian
guitar deconstructionist Aidan Baker (also of NADJA), Periodic 1 (29:55)
and Periodic 2 (26:32). Baker constructed these pieces from manipulated
and damaged 4-track recordings of electric and acoustic guitars (as well
as drums) that have been re-assembled into monstrously slow-moving epics
of rolling feedback tides. Incandescent storm clouds gather in the
distance flecked with shafts of pink light and omnipresent tape hiss
shot from pulsating and rippling speaker cones suspended high in the
earth's atmosphere. Deeply buried drum rhythms surface amdist gradually
building layers of delicate, gossamer skree and subterranean grinding. A
beautiful and fully realized drone album, highly recommended to fans of
Aidan Baker's work, as well as that of fellow drift explorers Oren
Ambarchi, Troum, and Birchville Cat Motel.Packaged in a hand-assembled,
full-color cardsleeve in a resealable plastic sleeve.
Presented in an edition of 250 copies, hand numbered. [Crucial Blast]
PRICE: 8 € / $
CONTAGIOUS ORGASM + TELEPHERIQUE: CROSSES DEEPLY, CD
(SSSM)
New collaboration between these two reknown acts. A unique mixture of
calming atmospheres, slightly distorted and hypnotic beats
(Telepherique), and surreal cut-up recordings and samples (Contagious
Orgasm). Constantly in motion, constantly in flux, this has tons of
layers and subsequently has a mesmerizing effect after awhile. [Malignant]
PRICE: 13 € / $
CONTAGIOUS ORGASM + ZYRTAX: DNA LOOPS, CD
(SSSM)
Mail collaboration project between these two projects, though not being
all that familiar with Zyrtax, so hard for me to say exactly what it is
they’re bringing to the table here. Collagey, surreal, manipulated,
moving sound sculptures. Sometimes hypnotic, sometimes grating, always
fresh, always in motion, never boring. In colorful sleeve packaging.
[Malignant]
PRICE: 13 € / $
CONVALESCENT: BEFORE SUNRISE, CD-R
(God is Myth)
This is the debut of a very dark and mysterious project indeed. God is
Myth Records is proud to have Convalescent on board for this excellent
release of sheer nihilistic-sounding dark ambient. Get ready for an
album shrouded in bleak mystery and utter darkness. While this release
will surely stand on it's own, it will also please those fans of such
acts as CAUL and our own THE VICTIMS SHUDDER. [God is Myth]
PRICE: 8 € / $
BACK IN STOCK: ENCOMIAST: HAVENS, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
This disc contains three exquisite new driftworks from ENCOMIAST,
entitled Havens. Formed from vaporous clouds of guitar, gamelan,
shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute), violin, vina, voice, flute, and
field recordings, Ross Hagen and Megan Garland have stretched these
sounds into infinite ribbons of metallic shimmer, twisting and swirling
into gorgeous hum. The three tracks on this disc are extended works that
range from eleven to twenty-five minutes in length, and drifts within
the angelic regions between Andrew Chalk's minimalist explorations, the
dream music of Troum (and their predecessor, Maeror Tri), and the bleary
melodic smear of My Bloody Valentine. Havens distills the bliss of deep
dreams and early morning haze into captured hymns, and is one of
ENCOMIAST's finest drone offerings to date.Packaged in a hand-assembled,
full-color cardsleeve in a resealable plastic sleeve. Presented in an
edition of 250 copies. [Crucial Blast]
PRICE: 8 € / $
KORPERSCHWACHE: TEMPLE OF THE DEVIL KITTY, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
A new shot of melodic alien powerdrone and severe speaker-cone overload
from Texas amplifier mutant KORPERSCHWACHE. Temple Of The Devil Kitty
opens with Voices Beneath The Navidson House, a seventeen-minute long
noisedirge that sounds like EARTH or SUNN O))) playing several blocks
down in heavy rain, as satanic toy monkeys bang cymbals and drag chains
around outside in the street and stray voices drift into earshot. This
is followed by Democracy Comes From The Barrel Of A Gun, which uncorks
some gooey blackened speaker tar over a sick Miami Vice beat, a
slaytanic Skullflower-in-a-drone-disco eruption that stands as one of
KORPERSCHWACHE's coolest blasts. Mammoth drum machine beats continue to
propel the disc's scorched cyclical riffage through songs like When
Wolves Dream Of Sheep and And Then Came December (Blunt-Force Injury
II). Six tracks in all of cascading waterfalls of sinister amplifier
hiss and reverb. [Crucial Blast]
Packaged in a hand-assembled, full-color folder in a resealable plastic
sleeve. Presented in an edition of 100 copies, hand numbered.
PRICE: 8 € / $
MARAX: FEEL FREE TO FUCK ME, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
Limited cd-r pressing of the Feel Free conceptual cassette released in
an absurdly limited edition wooden crate in the late 90's by Southern
extreme noise and abyssal drone artist Eric Crowe (MARAX). Painfully
intense power electronic love. These tracks are blistering
high-frequency wipeouts with a nervous sense of humor...much different
but no less adventurous than the cavernous blackened droneworks of his
more recent material. 12 tracks of sweetness. [Crucial Bliss]
Comes packaged in a full color glossy sleeve thats in an airsealed mylar
bag.LIMITED and #d OUT OF 100.
PRICE: 8 € / $
BACK IN STOCK: NEW RISEN THRONE / CRUEL HARVEST: SHADOWS OVER HUMANITY, CD
(God is Myth)
3 brand new tracks from Italian dark ambient master New Risen Throne,
plus the debut of U.S. dark ambient project Cruel Harvest. 7 tracks
total and over an hour of icy cold and treacherous dark ambient
soundscapes for fans of Raison D'etre, Northaunt, Svartsinn & Atrium
Carceri.
For those familiar with NEW RISEN THRONE you are probably already aware
of this artists catalog of releases thru various underground labels such
as ALARMING ECHO BEATS (USA), DESERTED FACTORY (JAPAN) and of course,
GOD IS MYTH RECORDS (USA). These particular 3 tracks show the project
(perpetuated by the one who goes only by the name of STIELH) moving into
even more dark and sinister territory. This is trademark NEW RISEN
THRONE. Albeit with a bleak sense of ‘black’ ambient mixed with cold and
eerie ‘voices from some far off abyss’. Add to this the suffocating,
trance inducing industrial sounds and you will soon realize that you
cannot escape these “Shadows over Humanity”
This split CD also features the debut of U.S. dark ambient project CRUEL
HARVEST. Although new to the ‘underground’ dark ambient scene this
project should feel right at home to those fans of NORTHAUNT, SVARTSINN
& perhaps even the more subdued sounds of MELEK-THA. The four tracks
presented here are built upon a foundation of dark drones and samples
mixed with the more ‘organic’ sounds of stark piano, sampled human
voices and some perhaps unrecognizable guitar. These are haunting tracks
that blend perfectly with the sinister sounds of NEW RISEN THRONE for an
hours worth of black ambience that will wrap its cold fingers around
your throat with an icy grip...and not let go until you succomb to the
“Darkness Beyond”. [God is Myth]
PRICE: 9 € / $
P. MILES BRYSON: WEIGHT OF THE WORLD - A LONG DAY'S TANGO INTO NIGHT, CD
(SSSM)
It processes a source of field recording, various sound snippets from
tango and orchestral pieces, and creates delicate electronic music
beautifully. [SSSM]
Limited edition of 500 copies.
PRICE: 12 € / $
REI REA: THE STILL SUN SY-ARISE, CD-R
(Rei Rea)
Those looking for a relatively calm music, with transcendental accents
and even, at times, some slightly middle-eastern influenced undertones,
alternating with passages of a nature that is more death-ambient
oriented, but often peppered with slow synthetic rhythms with an
old-school sound, will be pleased. Rei Rea is one of our recent
discoveries, a Montreal secret that is still kept too well. Rei Rea is a
series of oneiric vignettes which are halfway between the first
Muslimgauze releases and the music of American project Stone Glass
Steel. An epic dimension seems to shine in every twist and turn, every
echo, every drift that this disc has to let out. Furthermore, the term
‘’psychedelic’’, which has been used to describe a zillion things since
the sixties, here has a most affirmed meaning. A daydream. We strongly
urge all dreamers out there to discover this release! [.Angle.Rec.]
PRICE: 8 € / $
SUDDEN INFANT: EAR-WASH, CD
(SSSM)
Joke Lanz - turntables, noise toys & voice, Franz Lieberherr - trombone
& yodeling, Christian Weber - bass & substructural noises. ultra sonic,
Scatter it, Scatter it! Really noisy! Wonderful composition and a humor
sense. [SSSM]

GIRNU GIESMES: RUPUS MILTAI, CD
(Autarkeia)
“Rupus miltai“ – presently counted as the eighth album of Lithuanian
post-industrial music pioneer “Girnu Giesmes“. The begetter of this
Project Laurynas Jukonis used to mark all his albums by some most
archaic and original elements of Lithuanian culture, such as the glee,
rhymed recitations in ancient Lithuanian language, some ornament on the
cover. They reflect the coherence between the author and archaic
worldview, genetics of ancestors, moreover – they perfectly adopt the
ancient code for enriching the collective future thinking. The newest
album entitled with the ancient relic, genuine and dearly fine
Lithuanian euphemism – “Rupus Miltai“ – which is not translatable into
other languages, perhaps even not explicable to foreigners, but
naturally acceptable by everyone of Lithuanian descent as some higher
element of communication, open to selected ethnos. The author of this
Project chose this relic of sublime reality as the guiding point to
surreal, psychedelic trip into different, more universal reality where
the ocean of associations and infinite possibility of interpretation
rise. The web of senses generated by the album “Rupus Miltai“ throws the
listener along the emotional draughts as if the whirlwind carrying the
small butterfly. A stream of transparent ambient suddenly grows into the
hysterical ritual dance of shamans, leading to the labyrinth of feelings
hiding the fearful obscurity. As the battle falls, the light descends,
and the vanishing mind erases every thought and sense. “Rupus Miltai“ is
a peculiar, psychedelic album talking of .... With various eclectic
post-industrial accents twinkling in it, with unique style aesthetics
unrolling and blazing in unconventional loops of dark and hypnotic
ambient and frozen industrial pulse. [Autarkeia]
Limited edition of 299 copies.

NEGRU VODA: UNPLUGGED, CD
(Autarkeia)
Peter Nystrom, the creator of the legendary “death industrial” project
“Megaptera”, even working on his new project “Negru Voda” remains loyal
to the traditional Scandinavian industrial music ideology and form.
Inspired by the Nordic civilization Swedish man makes samples from the
rates spreading of the iron mills and machines, as well as of different
industry equipment functioning or failed, builds the massive rhythms
from recorded sounds, transfers the sullen, frozen and oppressive
industrial esthetics. Some of his works are of the lo-fi quality. The
creator is striving to it on purpose, as the lo-fi often conveys the
brutality and surly atmosphere better. Most suitable for the creation of
such atmosphere are those festivals where the factor of coincidence or
improvisation is constantly pending. Negru Voda “Unplugged” is one of
such live records implementing the massive and brutal Nordic industrial
philosophy, where the remixed tracks contain arduous, Scandinavian
rhythm and dark psychedelic pulse generated by manipulations of the
weird samples. The sounds of “Unplugged” were recorded during the
festival ICETODIRON in Vilnius on 11 December 2004. [Autarkeia]

and Periodic 2 (26:32). Baker constructed these pieces from manipulated
and damaged 4-track recordings of electric and acoustic guitars (as well
as drums) that have been re-assembled into monstrously slow-moving epics
of rolling feedback tides. Incandescent storm clouds gather in the
distance flecked with shafts of pink light and omnipresent tape hiss
shot from pulsating and rippling speaker cones suspended high in the
earth's atmosphere. Deeply buried drum rhythms surface amdist gradually
building layers of delicate, gossamer skree and subterranean grinding. A
beautiful and fully realized drone album, highly recommended to fans of
Aidan Baker's work, as well as that of fellow drift explorers Oren
Ambarchi, Troum, and Birchville Cat Motel.Packaged in a hand-assembled,
full-color cardsleeve in a resealable plastic sleeve. Presented in an
edition of 250 copies, hand numbered. [Crucial Blast]

ALEXEI BORISOV + KK NULL: XENOGLOSSIA, CD
(Insofar Vapor Bulk)
This is a wise pairing between the two completely versatile and
experienced electronic manipulators. There are a host of totally warped
sounds like I?ve never heard from either KK Null or Alexei Borsov.
Sticky electronic pitter-patter leads way to tinkling sine tones and
cryptic foreign terrain. When they integrate some guy mumbling, it truly
sends me back to the seminal sound of lost souls that became Throbbing
Gristle. But this is not all-dark cerebral jargon, there is a lighter,
almost frustrated techno lurking just below the surface. Slim cardboard
sleeve with artwork by KK Null.
PRICE: 12 € / $
ALTAI ASHRAM: MANTRA, CD
(Fight Muzik)
Probably the most insane release on Fight Muzik: live recording of
occult rite from Altai Ashram sect. This sect is well-known in the world
and presented in 40 countries, including Mexico, USA, Spain and
France.Great Altai Kagan Khum, the supreme priest of this mystic
congregation, conducts psychoactive seances with His progeny. He uses
narrations, recitations of mystic formulas by very strange voices and
plays lot of musical instruments. The content of this release is really
unique and I couldn't compare it with any other album despite I'm
already 10 years in such music. Very powerful & tight ethnoritual
soundings filled with psychedelia and trances... and floating dynamic
melodies.
PRICE: 13 € / $
AMBIENCE: CICLOS, CD-R
(Void Rekordz)
Portuguese ambient music. One large track of emotional soundscapes with
keyboards and pianos along with a hypnotic percurssion. Comes on

ARC: THE CIRCLE IS NOT ROUND, CD
(Small Voices)
ARC formed spontaneously in 2000 at a performance at The Ambient Ping,
Toronto's long-running live ambient/experimental music series. ARC is a
trio of Aidan Baker (guitars, flutes, tapeloops), Richard Baker
(drumkit, percussion), & Christopher Kukiel (percussion). Their music is
a mixture of Popul Vuh acoustic compositions, Pink Floyd's Ummagumma
era, Voice of Eye or Subarachnoid Space..., with dense and organic
drones and hypnotic ethnic rhythms. ARC's sound is centred on the
melodic loops, textures, & samples provided by heavily-effected guitar &
other melodic instruments. This is overlaid with tribal-esque rhythms
provided by various percussive instruments; drum kit, djembe, tabla,
wood blocks, etc. With this combination, they create a roiling tapestry
of both rhythmic & ambient sound, a sound simulataneously prim(ev)al &
avant-garde. ARC, regular performers in Toronto and Montreal, have
released a number of cdr releases on such labels as Piehead Records,
Worthy Records, and their own label Arcolepsy Records. Their release
"The Circle is Not Round" with Italy's label A SILENT PLACE is their
debut CD release.
The disc is packaged in a special cardboard digisleeve with varnished
images

ARTEFACTUM: CHAOS ELEMENTS, CD
(Athanor)
Active since 2001, Artefactum finally delivers its first full length
concept album Chaos Elements. The release is devoted to 4 elements:
earth, water, fire and air and alchimia. The music shows their power and
eternal beauty, their variety and similarity.
Six tracks united in a logical whole, the music is dark drowning with
some woman chants and voices in the background not so far Cold meat
Industry's Aghast or 6th Comm release with Freya Aswynn. With a great
artwork cover with alchemical symbols.
This is a tribute to strength and dark side of the world. Harmonia
macrocosmica. Occulta philosophia. Opus magnum. [Athanor]
PRICE: 13 € / $
BAD SECTOR + TOMMASO LISA: RESET / REBIS PERIFERICHE, CD + BOOK
(Old Europa Cafe)
For this release Massimo Magrini was Joined by the Italian
Cyberzone-Writer Tommaso Lisa! So the album was recorded using as
conceptual reference Tom's "neuro-poems" collection REBIS. Short spoken
fragments of the texts are treated and inserted in a sonic structure
built with minimal, strangely sincopated pseudo-rytmhs and sharp pulsing
noises. The effect of those spcken texts is really disqieting, a very
severe & obscure release, different from all previous Bad Sector albums!
In the background, Bad Sector's trademark chilling micro-melodies
completes an upsetting, allucinated but crude vision of our "Collapsing
Civilization". Try this album & "Reset" your "Weltanschauung"! The Cd
will be packed inside a book cover, the book contains Tom's Cyber-poetry
plus a series of graphic designs

DEGENERAL: AFTER THE WORLD, CD-R
(Zhelezobeton)
Degeneral was formed in the Siberian city of Kemerovo in 2001 and has
already recorded several albums none of which has been issued to present
day, so "After the World" can be called the first official release of
the project. The album sounds like a soundtrack to a mental trip through
the lifeless spaces of the world outlived electro-mechanical apocalypse.
First monotonous droning tracks unobtrusively bring listener's
perception into a laid-back and meditative state. But the sound
gradually condenses, saturation of sonic events grows and music takes
mechanical features of sinister atmosphere of a desolated factory
working for hundreds of years without human assistance. Thunder of
workshops, buzz of power substations and clanks of unknown mechanisms
flow together into united psy-noise symphony. By the end of the disc
anthropomorphical assotiations naturally pale and give way to abstract
cosmic visions, provoked by skilfully combined avalanche-like noise
waves and looped melodic lines.
The release is packed into hand-made outer sleeve made of foil-covered
material with sprayed symbol and inner semi-transparent cardboard sleeve
with information notes. [Zhelezobeton]
PRICE: 8 € / $
ENCOMIAST: HAVENS, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
This disc contains three exquisite new driftworks from ENCOMIAST,
entitled Havens. Formed from vaporous clouds of guitar, gamelan,
shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute), violin, vina, voice, flute, and
field recordings, Ross Hagen and Megan Garland have stretched these
sounds into infinite ribbons of metallic shimmer, twisting and swirling
into gorgeous hum. The three tracks on this disc are extended works that
range from eleven to twenty-five minutes in length, and drifts within
the angelic regions between Andrew Chalk's minimalist explorations, the
dream music of Troum (and their predecessor, Maeror Tri), and the bleary
melodic smear of My Bloody Valentine. Havens distills the bliss of deep
dreams and early morning haze into captured hymns, and is one of
ENCOMIAST's finest drone offerings to date.Packaged in a hand-assembled,
full-color cardsleeve in a resealable plastic sleeve. Presented in an
edition of 250 copies. [Crucial Blast]

This mysterious Russian project has always been a kind of unique

TIERMES: MALAHVIA, CD-R
(Saaren Levy)
Malahvia, the latest effort in series of audio releases by the
performance and music group Tiermes, is presented after six years of
intense experimenting and research on the field of ethno-pharmacology,
-botany and ritual behaviour during Fennoscandian prehistoric age.
As a result, not being only a piece of sonic art, Malahvia can also be
considered as a fine example of modern archaeology, through which an
idea and feel of what is beyond all things mortal is intelligently
forwarded closer to the level of everyday life and death.
Even if Malahvia, compared to the earlier releases, has a far more
developed concept and sonic shape - it certainly is, as are all works by
Tiermes, a strong manifestation on behalf of the use of sound as an
instrument of transcendence.
The group's continuous devotion to create art through an experience, has
proved to be the only way to find such essential emotions and dimensions
that label the presence known as Tiermes. And as a present day example -
Malahvia makes no exception. [Saaren Levy]

shield + large b/w poster with print on both sides). 1st edition 653
copies.

PRICE: 7 € / $
V/A: CONVERGENCE, CD
(Fulldozer)
Experimental music compilation "Convergence" presents new tracks from
THEODOR BASTARD, VOLGA, NOTCHNOI PROSPECT, FIZZARUM etc. Seeming to be
stylistically heterogeneous music (glitch, clicks-n-cuts, IDM, dark
ambient, neoclassical, power noise and even trip-hop) it turns out to
have a lot in common - all the musicians are united by an experiment, an
attempt to break through the borders of directions once defined by
someone. General musical mood of the compilation is also vague - gloomy,
mysterious but opening a light perspective.
CONVERGENCE (latin 'convergens' - together, completely, strongly), the
process of coming together or the state of having come together toward a
common point. In biology the adaptive evolution of superficially similar
structures in unrelated species subjected to similar environments. In
ethnology - development of similar characters in different cultures. In
sociology (convergence theory 1960-80) - the coming closer of 2
different social systems (capitalism and socialism). CONVERGENCE OF THE
EYES - movement of the two eyes so coordinated that the images of a
single point fall on corresponding points of the two retinas.
All presented artists (except bonus track) took part in the 2nd
International festival BULLDOZERfest-2004 (March 19. 2004,
Saint-Petersburg, Russia). [Fulldozer]

more confront with human enigma, provoking to get to another level of
contemplation. Contributors: Michael Prime, Christian Renou (ex-Brume),

WANDER: S/T, CD
(Small Voices)
Wander are Freek Kinkelaar and Frans de Waard, also known as Beequeen.
Since changing Beequeen's musical direction in the summer of 2000
(drones out and 'popmusic' in). However, since they both love drone

in it's widest possible form, with each new release exploring a specific
concept. Wander will release their music on various formats, but every
format only once. Each release is called Wander, and there is a total
absense of any information on the cover. So far they have released a 10"
on their own Plinkity Plonk label, a LP for En/Of, a split 7" on
Plinkity Plonk (a split single with Beequeen), a CDR on XZF and a 7" on
Edition... and a forthcoming split 7" recorded in collaboration with
Andrew Liles.
The material was recorded in the analogue studio Geluidswerkplaats
Extrapool in late 2004 and early 2005, using a wide variety of vintage
synthesizers (juno 60, korg MS20, roland SH 102 and Arp synthesizer) and
a Philicordia organ. The four long pieces breath an atmospheric,
pastoral sound of slow and deep evolving drones. The CD was mastered by
Raymond Steeg of The Legendary Pink Dots' fame. The images on the cover
and the disc were made with the help of Elise de Waard. Released in a
special cardboard package with varnished images. [Small Voices]

BACK IN STOCK!: APOPTOSE: NORDLAND, CD (Tesco)
This is the first release of a German artist, who was inspired by the
ancient order of the megalitic graves. A beautiful journey in the

ancient beauty. Subliminal drones lead to longforgotten rituals. The CD

missing link between Leichenlinie and Save Our Slaves. Some tracks have
appeared before ["In The Ghetto" and "Sturmfieber" on the Sturmgeweiht
cassette compilation and "White Power Forces" on the A Functional
Chapter of Sexual Process 7"], but the album is presented now as a whole

-finally a new album by Genocide Organ! it's been near five years since
"The truth will make you free" was released in 1999. Now 11 new tracks

mixture from industrial to power electronics to dark depressive ambient
noise outbursts for which Genocide Organ is known. Presented in a
Digipak with booklet and ltd. num. edition LP with inlet. Genocide Organ
don't reflect a concrete event of whatever nature, this an abstract
questioning of everything with anything, a call to action, which ends in
a waste of energy ...a call for a movement which is a waste of time...a
nihilistic pessimistic worldview which leads somewhere.....we all fill
just space and are part of IN-KONFLIKTS. [Tesco]
PRICE: 12 € / $
BACK IN STOCK!: LAND:FIRE: PHYSICAL:MENTAL:PSYCHOLOGICAL, CD (Tesco)
- new album after the LP on Loki Foundation label, comes in nice DVD
Digipak and with extensive booklet. cold ambience, interupted by
rhythmic outbursts, Land:Fire is the more clinical technical project of
the men behind Herbst 9. Ritual technical ambient music, if this can
be...soundlayers of real brilliance which leave no room for a way back
to archaic orchestration...music simply brilliant arranged to reflect a
big impact on human kind such as the instant 5:29:45 a.m. on July 16.
1945 the first atomic device called Trinity detonated. This album is a
documentation and a reflection of that historical event. [Tesco]

sputter collapse helplessly into fever, exhaustion, depression. This is
home-taping of unconscious dread and hopeless shudder. Originally
released in a small edition on his own Hanson Records, Bad Dreams return
for the Wolf Eyes / ex-Violent Ramp / Galen / Couch member. When Aaron
wakes up, he'll wish he were dead...

ghostly female vocals, from ethnic percussive sequences to bright,
shimmering flute melodies, from crystal-clear guitar harmonies to
immersive synth-layers. [Eibon Records]

CHAOS AS SHELTER: DAWN SYNDROME, CD (Topheth Prophet)
After releasing over 18 releases since 1999, Chaos As Shelter needs no
further introductions. His latest work, dawn syndrome, was recorded in
2001 and is dedicated to the end of Kali Yuga, the age of iron, which is
the final and most negative of four evolutionary Yugic cycles, the end
of the world, and the dawn of a new golden age - Sataya Yuga (the age of
purity).
Dawn Syndrome is an eight-track composition of ritual dark ambient
crafted in the skillful way Chaos as Shelter is known for. The usage of
organic and artificial sound sources which has been his trademark. It is
a hymn of submersion and rebirth, of confusion, ambiguity and enigma, of
the darkest moment before sunrise.
Dawn Syndrome was recorded at new jerusalem studios and Chaos As Shelter
was supported by Vera Agnivolok , Helena Dorsht and an accidentally
obtained presto home recorded vinyl disc.

CHAOS AS SHELTER / THE HOLLOWING: HEAVENLY LETTER, CD-R (Mechanoise Labs)
Appearing at times of despair and plagues across Europe, the flagellants
believed in punishing themselves in the hope that God would not. Their
processions of self-flagellation lasted 33½ days, matching the number of
years in Christ’s life, and served as penance for their sins and those
of others.
The Heavenly Letter refers to the text that they believed was a direct
ultimatum from God himself: humanity, failed and corrupt, had one last
chance at reform before the destruction of all life. Denounced as
heretics by the Church, they were persecuted and driven underground.
During the Black Death in 1348, the same letter reappeared with an added
paragraph that addressed the plague, and became the manifesto of a
reborn flagellant movement. As times went on and the world didn't end as
expected, enthusiasm for self-scourging waned and the movement dispersed.
The work here isn't easily digested and is often demanding of one's
senses. Slow, churning drones collapse into clattering bells, wheels of
noise rotate themselves to oblivion and disembodied flutes and voices
accompany the procession on its way to absolution. Sound throbs as one
writhing body, and then explodes into morsels of granulated flesh,
purity found once again.

COMBATIVE ALIGNMENT: ...AND OUTSIDE GLOWS THE RED DAWN, CD (Malignant)
Those that peruse the Malignant catalog on a regular basis, should have
no trouble recognizing Combative Alignment, for they’ve been a highly
touted fixture since their first release, the Everlasting Sun 10” on
their own label, Avatar. After several releases, including an LP on
LOKI, and a 7” on Eternal Soul, it is with great honor and pride that we
present ’And Outside Glows the Red Dawn’, the first full length CD from
this powerful and visionary German project. And Outside Glows the Red
Dawn can perhaps be seen as Combative Alignment’s benchmark recording,
offering 6 tracks that work as a virtual musical thoroughfare to a more
dreamlike, illusory state. Deeply brooding atmospheres, where omniscient
layers of drones and reverberating sound currents meet measured, ritual
percussion as performed under the glowing, gloomy haze of a primordial
sunrise. And Outside Glows the Red Dawn shines a dim light on a world of
obscure origin, full of dark Germanic mysticism and unearthly sonic
terrain. On a whole, this is a more focused, deeper, and fluid recording
than you’ve heard before, yet triumphantly carrying on the tradition
laid down by previous releases. [Malignant]

BACK IN STOCK!: CONTROL: CONTROL, CD (Black Plagve)
The nastiest, meanest, loudest slab of noise from Black Plagve yet. A
rising star in the limited scope of the American p.e. scene (Taint,
Slogun), Control will stand out as a bruiser among bruisers. Massive
distortion, monolithic, brain rattling bass, and smasmodic frequency
eruptions lead the charge, with tortured vocals bringing up the back.
Add a gruesome, misogynist perspective and you’ve got a record that
reaches a new height in sickness, slicing easily through gristle and
bone to get to the proverbial heart of the matter. [Black Plagve]

H.E.R.R.: THE WINTER OF CONSTANTINOPLE, CD (Cold Spring Records)
Steeped in tragedy and legionary heroism, this musical odyssey recreates
the penultimate 1453 siege of the Byzantine capital beside the
shimmering waters of the Bosphorus. A neo-classical cocktail of
atmospheric keyboards, cello and pounding drums frolic alongside
militaristic anthems about European imperium, hooliganism as modern
warfare, vanquished heroes, Turkish hordes, architectural majesty and
defiant optimism. The diverse lyrical styles and sheer breadth of
instrumentation on this release make it one of the most original and
captivating albums of the last few years. [Cold Spring]

album of tortured sonic landscapes taking us on an unsetteling journey
through darkened dreams. Homogeneous dark ambiences combined with serene
drones and put together as a shadowy collection of dreamy, melancholic
soundscapes, Kammarheit forms images of long lost ruins, barren lands
and gigantic, rumbling machines. "Asleep and well hidden" was created as
a tool for dreamers, a place to flee to when the outside world comes too
close...

MAGWHEELS: LANTERNS, CD-R (Mechanoise Labs)
A powerful and eloquent release that combines the best aspects of
lucious textures, melancholic processed guitars and well-used noises.
Reminiscent of some Controlled Bleeding material around their "Songs

without losing its focus on its warm and particular sound. Emotional and
vibrant at times, calm and thoughtful at others, "Lanterns" casts its

the melodies and the dissonance. [Mechanoise Labs]

and well written matieral that’ll have you deep in thought as the
Militia machine plays in the background. Musically, the live dynamic
adds a raw edge, crossing over between post industrial soundscapes, tape
loops and the requisite percussion from oil barrels, large metal plates,
tubes suspended on chains, a full metal radiator, empty gas tanks,
concentional drums and timpani, wind instruments, and a cement mixer. In

the two Barcelona based groups O PARADIS and NOVY SVET team up for

PRICE: 12 € / $
Ô PARADIS: LA BOCA DEL INFIERNO, CD (Punch Records)
"La Boca Del Infierno " (Hell's Mouth) is by far the darkest and most
suffered album by Ô Paradis. As tracks go on you sink in a sort of
dantesque circle, the boundary between joy and suffering,life and death,
where Eros and Thanatos melt and become the same thing. The cover
couldn't be more explicative!Is this the door to life and joy or isn't
it more true that it's the door to hell and its torments? Here Ô Paradis
laid himself bare. Sounds have become more industrial and dreary than
ever. The warm and melancholic mediterranean ballads, dear to the heart
of the catalan project, get oriented in more experimental directions;
here melancholy leads to a truly dark and choking anguish. [Punch Records]

PROJECT THE THREE: ANTIMOTHER, CD (Nextera)
ANTIMOTHER is a follow-up to czech ambient-industrial pioneers - THE

the development of not just czech but also the industrial scenes.
ANTIMOTHER consists of three compositions : AM1, AM2, AM3 and the final
synthesis AM123, the whole of which creates the sonic equivalent to the
parts of the alchemical process of transmutation, while keeping the
archetypal structure of the ritual itself. [Nextera]

Third Reutoff album, initially released in 2000 as a CDR limited to 100,

gloomiest and most industrial album of the project, Regno Di Pianta has
become one of the most sought after Reutoff release during last few
years. Dense and sombre dark-ambient intertwined with noises and
sprinkles of voice and cello samples stand in ones light leaving nothing
but eternal dusk of the misty reign of suffer and solitude - the endless
Regno Di Pianta, the Kingdom Of Tears.

BACK IN STOCK!: REUTOFF: REUTRAUM IV, 7" (Drone records)
This russian trio comes from a suburb of Moscow (called Reutov), and
this, following some cassette-releases, is their vinyl-debut and first
release outside of Russia. As one of the pioneers of the Russian
industrial-scene REUTOFF create an ultra dark visionary music, using
elements of ambient as well as rhythmic industrial. "WAILED", the
A-Side, begins with atmospheric, but rather unpleasant samples & sounds,
before harsh electronic beats come in; "VEILED" on the B-Side however,
is a perfect example for the group's ability to build unsettled,
sinister & creepy dark ambient industrial sounds, with an overall
atmosphere of despair & deep melancholy, maybe mirroring today's
"Russian soul". There is no light in this darkness, maybe only behind
it. [Drone Records]
PRICE: 6 €
BACK IN STOCK!: REUTOFF: UNSEEN RITUALS, CD (Ewers Tonkunst)
Fourth album of the band, 'Unseen Rituals' is their first full-length CD
after well-acclaimed CDr 'Regno Di Pianta' and two tape releases.
Combining layers of delicate noise with voice samples and rhythmical
patterns, REUTOFF create unique atmospheres of despair and anxiety,
where sad melodies dip into the pool of cold strained tension.
Comes in a A5-sized folder with full-colour printing.

BACK IN STOCK!: SKINCAGE: AXON, CD (Malignant Antibody)
The debut release from Skincage (Jon Ray) and the first release from
Malignant's imprint Malignant Antibody (run by Phil Easter of Stone
Glass Steel). Skincage shares the same dense & evocative sample/loop
construction as SGS or Iron Halo Device, yet has a contextual style that
brings to mind Coil or later-day Shinjuku Thief. Skincage treats us to a
dense pallet of electronics, found sounds, acoustic samples, and
electri-cal glitches. But unlike the typical dark ambient work, the Axon
album is brighter, noisier, and covers a remarkable range of
compositional styles and textures -- often all within the same track.
Both cinematic and emotionally deep, Axon suggests a contemplative
storyline of personal pain, pestilence, and isolation, interwoven with a
strong sense of internal exploration and discovery. Indeed, Axon is the
result of a two year recording process that chronicles a time of
artistic awakening and deep personal loss. The pervasive mood of
Skincage is perhaps best summarized by the artist's own
definition: "the state of being a mind trapped within the confines of a
body with unending absolute awareness of those constrictions." If you
too have felt the suffocating claustrophobia of your own skin, or if you
seek an ever-shifting journey into the tangled nervescape of your
mind... then Skincage: Axon is the treatment. Skincage is a serious
must-have for any experimental / soundtrack / dark-ambient collection,
and is certain to become an instant classic (believe the hype!) Ingest
your first dose of Malignant Antibody... and slip into the Skincage.

S.Q.E. is the solo-project of J.GRECO now residing in New York City, who
has worked with URE THRALL, KRIS FORCE, ALAN TRENCH, and others and
released three full albums so far, now pointing into a more 'song
oriented' direction than before... The title of this EP WAHID means
something like 'independent' (also 'alone' or 'solo') in arabic
language. The title track on Side A is build on powerful oriental
percussion, mixed with mesmerizing floating flute, drone and e-bow
guitar sounds, forming layers of harmonic overlapping... EPITAPH 3, the
B side, is less rhythmically structured and creates enormous space with
backwards-sounds from cymbals and voices, deep drones and synth layers
at the base... two deeply mesmerizing tracks.... [Drone Records]

“rhythms” and “pulsations”, with a focus on rhythmic, pounding, looping
& repetitive elements and structures. With TJUKURRPA 3, TROUM shows a
not so well known side, using the trance-power of repetitive textures.
In every of the seven extensive tracks (playtime 66+ min) rhythms in
various moods build the basis: from smooth ambience-pulsations over
ritualistic surroundings up to ecstatic pounding harshness, from
underneath & soft pulsative patterns up to evolving harsh & overwhelming
rhythmic loops. The music on Tjukurrpa III is made by raw & processed
loops & handplayed percussion, along with electric guitar & bass,
balalaika, mouth organ, male & female human voice, flute, and accordeon.

solely from radio-receivers, creating a droney and eerie imaginary
soundtrack to the communication between Submarines in the Second World
War. 'Something' is there in the sub-ether, but it can¹t be identified.
Very thick & foggy subliminal sound-waves, the time is standing still...

BACK IN STOCK!: YEN POX / TROUM: MNEMONIC INDUCTION, CD (Malignant Records)
Given their separate history as masters of droning atmospherics, and
their mutual admiration for each others work, a collaboration seemed
only natural. Now, after years of discussion, Mnemonic Induction has
finally materialized, resulting (not surprisingly) in one of the
greatest, most mind bending works of dark ambient ever. A 60 plus minute
exploration through nebulous, grey areas of the mind…expansive drones
and spiraling vortex’ of sound that hover near the shadowy, distorted
zones of a nightmare before ascending to mountainous heights and dense,
billowing climaxes. This has a remarkable, liquidous feel that unfolds
in a fluid, intense nature…patterns converge and meld seamlessly as
layers of sound are added and subtracted; thundering lows rise up from
the abyss, and spiral into the stratosphere, only to dissipate into a
vacuumous black hole. The effect is something that plays on the mind,
recalling moments before complete wakefulness exists…a tattered and
restless dream state where images & thoughts
flicker and appear from a fog. Designed by Stephen O’Malley, housed in
an attractive eight panel digipak with thoughtful text. [Malignant]

like. The strong power will blow your mind. [Paranoise Records]

N|A: NEU|ANFANG, CD
(Paranoise Records)
Noise at its best - Extreme electronics from atmospheric to harsh
bruitism. This new project from Schwerin/Germany deals with the decay of

New arrivals in the BSAH distribution on-line store (28.9.2005)
AUTODIDACT: CHINESE GIRLS, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
The latest full length from Texan dronerock/disharmonic sludge pop
project AUTODIDACT. Waves of chiming discordant guitars and spare
glacial beats surge beneath barely-concealed melodies and noisy pop
hooks. The BAND OF SUSANS influence is again strong here, but as if that
band reformed in an overheated basement somewhere down south, trying to
rewrite PIXIES tunes with a battered, beersoaked drum machine on loan
from GODFLESH and cough-syrup drenched black-metal vocals
moaning/croaking bizarre atonal proclamations. Completely fucked up.
Fractured disharmonic guitar-drone pop bliss. LIMITED EDITION OF 200.
[Crucial Blast]
PRICE: 8 € / $
FULCI: DEAD LIGHTS RED SKY, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
The first recorded offering from twilight-psyche dronerock duo FULCI.
Deep, rumbling, and eternal speaker-buzz worship, wrapped around
lumbering riffs drunk on cough syrup and shimmering distortion overload.
Howling feedback mantras repeated ad infinitum. Major key rustic
lullabies are reduced to primal string scraping drones that climb over
mountains of echoing hum. Intensely melodic and repetitious, like
SKULLFLOWER covering EARTH's 2 in an old, empty farmhouse. FULCI is Eric
Crowe (formerly of Social Infestation, currently of Marax) and Adam
Wright. Former members of Leviathan A.D. and The Bodybag Romance
assisted on bass and drums, respectively. Mastered by Scott Hull at
Visceral Sound. [Crucial Blast]
PRICE: 8 € / $
KORPERSCHWACHE: SORDID REVELATIONS FROM THE CULT OF THE NAZARENE, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
Extended buzzsaw feedback necrodrone blasts that resemble the slow
shrieking and crushing destruction inflicted by heavy machinery.
Existing somewhere between pure noise|drone ambient and the grisliest
depths of avant-garde/mutant Black Metal (minus any semblance of
percussion,mind you), this is the sound of a small orchestra of fried
out amplifiers performing extreme exercises in dissonant annihilation,
with occasional vocal proclamations by Elektra Sturmschnell. But believe
it or not, there are some DAMN CATCHY moments here. Using tape loops,
gadgets, distorted samples,effects pedals,and blown-amp guitars and
bass, Korperschwache creates an extremely loud form of isolationism.
LIMITED EDITION OF 150. [Crucial Blast]
PRICE: 8 € / $
KORPERSCHWACHE: THE DEVIL SPEAKS THROUGH MY GUITAR, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
New 6 track full length from texan guitar necrodrone outfit
KORPERSCHWACHE. Densely layered disharmonic melodies float across
charred and corroded waves of blackened amplifier buzz and speaker hum.
Reverberating strings conjure huge decaying cathedral spaces. Speaker
flaying drones drip like dirty molasses. Apocalyptic chiming rings out
like a satanic pipe organ. Church hymns for the end of days. Slo mo
tectonic drift from a hundred tortured practice amps. LIMITED EDITION OF
200. [Crucial Blast]
PRICE: 8 € / $
SKULLFLOWER: ORANGE CANYON MIND, CD
(Crucial Blast)
The new full length from the legendary UK free/drone/psych outfit
Skullflower, featuring some of the most searing, synapse scorching
droneworks that Matthew Bower (the man behind Skullflower, as well as
Sunroof! and The Hototogisu) has unleashed to date, in our humble
opinion. Orange Canyon Mind is the follow up to 2002's awesome Exquisite
Fucking Boredom (Tumult Records), and continues that albums utter
mutation of stoned out riffs pulled taffy-like into eternity/oblivion
and star-rupturing blasts of sonic white light. Over the 8 tracks/60
minute running time, Bower and cohorts build massive horizontal drones
and melodic supernovas. Superb, beautiful, brain melting stuff. [Crucial
Blast]
PRICE: 12 € / $
V/A: RECORD OF SHADOWS INFINITE, CD
(Crucial Blast)
A diverse collection of contemporary post-rock neo-minimalism and
cinematic audio experimentation, "Record Of Shadows Infinite" brings
together eerie twilight drones, harrowing field recordings, intoxicating
soundscapes, and hazy psychedelic ambience from across the globe. From
pastoral to apocalyptic, a wealth of evocative aural vistas are
contained within...featuring new recordings from TROUM, FRANCISCO LOPEZ,
HOUSE OF LOW CULTURE, THUJA, UNEARTHLY TRANCE, CHAOS AS SHELTER, AMON,
BENEATH THE LAKE, SCOT JENERIK, and RUHR HUNTER. [Crucial Blast]
PRICE: 12 € / $
V/A: SHADOWS INFINITUM, CD-R
(Crucial Bliss)
Companion piece to the RECORD OF SHADOWS INFINITE compilation CD on
Crucial Blast. The wrangling of top-notch drone artists continues with
this full length, extremely polished CD-r release, limited to 250
copies. Exclusive tracks from DEAD RAVEN CHOIR, ENCOMIAST,
KORPERSSCHWACHE, EXISTENTIAL DILEMMA, BURNING STAR CORE, FEVERDREAMS,
NADJA, MARAX, and UNHOLYDEATHMACHINE run the gamut: these further
explorations of the drone touch on blackened folk creep, glacial hum and
gorgeous ambient bliss, buzzsaw feedback rituals, imploding-sun
droneblast, improvised clatter and drift, epic dronemetal, vampiric
dronenoise, and schizophrenic kool-aid burble riots. Another exercise in
intelligent, outsider droneworks from CRUCIAL BLAST. [Crucial Blast]
