 |
Shipping: Now
Hekatomb is the manifestation of MZ. 412's monumental performance @ Cold Spring's 21st Anniversary at The Garage, London, March 2011. The fortuitous congregation on that curse'd evening bore witness to the band's first EVER complete live line-up: Nordvargr, Drakh, and Ulvtharm. Powerful, pounding Industrial, desolate drones, dense electronics, grim nefarious rituals, reigned over by the malevolent intonations of Nordvargr. This satanic, blackened ritual from the creators of Black Industrial will evolve from memory, to history, and into legend. “Hekatomb” features different versions and interpretations of MZ. 412 material spanning 23 years. Presented in a 6-panel digipak featuring images from the ceremony.

| TUNNELS OF AH - 'Thus Avici' CD (CSR206CD) - £8 |
 |
Shipping: Monday
“Firstly, the punishment is meted out day and night, kalpa after kalpa, without a moment's interruption or relief. Thus Avici”. ‘Thus Avici' is the second album from Tunnels Of Ah (Stephen Ah Burroughs / Head Of David ). The title references ‘the sutra of bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's fundamental vows', a section of which Burroughs reads daily in homage to Ksitigarbha whom Burroughs pledged ‘entreaty and supplication' under solemn tantric oath 20 years ago. Tantric buddhism, christian mysticism and personal magick make up the subject matter for ‘Thus Avici'. Where traces of 2013's ‘Lost Corridors' album can be heard, ‘Thus Avici' is a harder, more focused offering. Shards of distorted noise, ritual drums, caustic drones and haunted vocals make ‘Thus Avici' a dark hallucinatory swoon into the hinterland of the Tunnels Of Ah. The dull blue light of brute-world calls.

| SOL - 'Where Suns Come To Die' CD (CSR186CD) - £8 |
 |
Shipping: Monday
Where Suns Come To Die is an exploration of growing older; the disappointment that follows and the omnipresent dissociation from the world and life as such. In a mixture of sampled classical songs from the beginning of the last century and recorded instruments such as reed organ, horns and strings the music reflects on a nostalgia and a feeling of disconnection to the modern world. Holding on to what last shreds of beauty still lingers Where suns come to die is a reminder that life is with end and we all must offer ourselves to the soil. Where Suns Come To Die consists of four tracks featuring Thomas Bøjden of Die Weisse Rose on vocals.

| TREPANERINGSRITUALEN - 'Veil The World' CD (CSR205CD) - £10 |
 |
Shipping: Now
"All seals have been broken" proclaims a demonic voice on the titular track of Veil The World, and that is something terrifyingly evident in the music contained therein. On Veil The World, T x R x P veers from crepuscular ritual moods to rabid death chants reveling, even celebrating the imminent end of flesh. Veil the World - originally released in a very limited and ultra-lavish box by Kosci Tapes in 2011 (Ltd 40) - marks the half-way point between the earlier, more atmospheric works of T × R × P, and the more visceral aggression of the later material. Remastered and presented in a 6 panel digipak, T x R x P once again assert themselves as the true masters of Swedish Ritual Industrial. Ltd x 1000 copies only.

7PM RITUAL - ':08:16:02' CD (Lichterklang)
- £11 |
 |
7pm Ritual is the new project of the founding Stein members Norbert Strahl, Nic Sender and Oliver Sittig who reunited for spontaneous jam-session after a couple of years, which finally resulted in “:08:16:02”. The album is a dedicated and conceptional piece of work, based on one of the biggest tragedies of the past millennium. Music-wise 7pm Rituals debut is the perfect blend of songs, influenced by Neofolk and orchestral, cinematic sounds bands that sometimes remind of early recordings of In The Nursery, but with a more folky edge. The songwriting as well as the sound quality are outstanding and there’s no doubt that 7pm Ritual and their musical diversity will leave a deep impact throughout the different genres mentioned before. Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak. |
ANENZEPHALIA - 'Instrumentalities (Singles Collection 1991-2008)' CD (Tesco Organisation) - £11 |

ATARAXIA - 'The Moon Sang On The April Chair' CD (Twilight Records) - £11 |
 |
The first part of the album, dedicated to Springtime and the awakening of nature, features passionate songs evoking mysterious airy escapades. The second part of the album is inspired by Autumn. "The Moon Sang On The April Chair" is a work that leaves a mark. Ataraxia have been inspired and led by two seasons so rich in nuances, chiaroscuro, and half tones, phases intimately linked to their peculiar way to feel and live music. The album features a bonus track: 'Post-Nuclear Obitus', dedicated to the harsh damages that nuclearisation has caused on mother-earth and mankind. Originally released on Apollyon (1995), the album has been digitally remastered. Digipak.
• All Ataraxia Titles |
BLACK LIGHT ASCENSION - 'Post Future Recordings' CD (Hau Ruck!) - £11 |
 |
Black Light Ascension is Andrew Trail (KnifeLadder). "Post Future Recordings" is a logical step up from BLA's debut album, "Ashes". Nine songs of minimal but powerful electronic music, starting the hypnotic rhythmic '10 Minutes To Midnight' and finishing with the pastoral apocalypse of 'Year Zero'. If there is still room for content with form in Post Industrial Electronics, then this album has it in spades. "Post Future Recordings" offers more than simply a potted history of electronica. It is a substantial work from an artist who has worked on the peripheries of experimental and industrial music for many years, now ready to break into the light. Digipak with 8-page booklet, including all lyrics.
• All Black Light Ascension Titles |
BRIGHTER DEATH NOW - 'Payback' CD (None) - £11.50 |

THIS IS NOT OVER! Ltd x 250 copies apiece on black or white vinyl.
• All Brighter Death Now Titles • All LP / 12" Vinyl |
CRYOBIOSIS - 'Inner Stasis' CD (Cryo Chamber)
- £11 |
 |
Cristian Voicu is back with another excellent dark ambient industrial album and a worthy follow up to last year's "Within Ruins".
Carefully planned noise soundscapes, both cold and warm, combine to create a sense of depth in this highly detailed and dynamic voyage. Cryobiosis is known for his damp and claustrophobic sound, and does not disappoint with this fantastic release. "With Inner Stasis, Cryobiosis invites us to walk in devastated badlands and bogs in shades of black and grey, beaten by the wind and acid rain. We eventually cross the path of an ancient colony, ruins and floating dust being now their only remains. Wandering between old damp sewers and toxic misty lakes at the rhythm of dark drones, crackling textures, infected atmospheres..." Digipak. |
DAINA DIEVA & SKELDOS - 'Aviliai' CD (Self-Released) - £11 |
 |
"Aviliai" is an album by two Lithuanian drone-ambient projects: Daina Dieva and Skeldos. The sound travels between silence and noise, layered voice-patterns give way to a harsher wall of sounds, easing out again to the minimal volume, maximum tension. "The album is about a dream, which is being born while you fall into the sleep, while surrounded by the branches of a tree, as if in your bee-hive. It is as if you'd walk though viscous sands that become endless seas, into the sound of the rain of moths. It’s a dream which needs you body-less. It’s a dream from which you can't return". The album with the sweetness of honey, with pain and heartache; a longing for serenity and the fatigue of time. All of those feelings and forebodings, dreams and nightmares unfold themselves and turn to sound. Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak. |
DIUTESC - 'Evilution Resurrected / Draconigena' CD & DVD (Old Captain) - £15 |
 |
An instantly sold out back in 2009 “Evilution” by Walter Adam von Dewitz, former Genocide Organ member (1989-1999). Rare original tracks recorded ‘live without audience and computers’. Raw, minimal, non-mastered true old school death industrial and power electronics. Diutesc (from Old German “Deutsch”) is a solo project of a person known by his legendary past in the cult G.O. band and rare self-produced limited vinyl editions also released by Membrum Debile Propaganda and Xn Recordings. “Evilution Resurrected” comprises original tracks and never heard before rarities from the early period. The DVD contains an hour long live documentation 'Draconigena', plus other short films / trailers and a data section. Comes in a double digipak with a new artwork and is limited to just 200 copies. |
FKK2 - 'Out-Burn' CD (Dokuro) - £9 |
 |
A collaboration between two veterans and masters of the Japanese noise scene: K2 (Kimihide Kusafuka) and FK (Fumio Kosakai of Incapacitants, C.C.C.C., Hijokaidan). The first track "Showroom Mummies" of K2 is an high-energy piece full of omnidirectional sonic explosions and distorted whirlpools. Mr. Kusafuka's skill is that he knows how to push the limits a little further in the threshold of endurance. Fumio Kosakai surprises by proposing instead an exercise in musique concrète that is most likely the quieter work of all his repertoire. Field recordings of trains sounds are assembled into a piece constantly balanced between silence and storytelling. The CD ends with "Radioactivit-Art" a four-handed tune, where the two noise-masters give the best of themselves, the sound writhes in perpetuum, in a centrifugal thrust that reaches the maximum noise. The rule is simple but effective: the more intense is the sonic overpowering the higher is the ecstatic rapture. Card slip.

FREDERIC NOGRAY / YANNICK DAUBY - 'Panotii Auricularis' CD (Universinternational) - £10.50 |
 |
Singing birds recorded in Taiwan, France and Honduras in conversation with an analogue filter in feedback and a modular synthesizer. Frédéric Nogray and Yannick Dauby confront nature recording to the edge of its musical possibilities. Three electroacoustic compositions (over 50 minutes); three strange and hypnotic landscapes gather in a long-awaited edition, finally released with all the care it deserved. Packaged in clear letterpressed PVC archive sleeve, with an A3 folded illustration by Elizabeth Saint-James. |
GRATEFUL DÄD - 'Moomin Valley Of The Dolls' LP (Rämekuukkeli / Joteskii Groteskii /
Sonitus Insulto) - £12 |
 |
The children were born first and soon more and more toys began to appear. Finally a useful invention was made: these toys make great sounds! Grateful Däd is Sami Karttunen from Tampere, Finland. He makes electronic music with children's toys. It does not sound like violent harsh noise or ambient drone, because the music is based on the personal and different sounds that each "instrument" produces. The songs are not improvised but carefully considered, practiced and composed. Eight songs of the album take the listener to an interesting and unique voyage which never stops to one place for too long. It creates new atmosph eres and visions all the time, being simultaneously both serious and playful. Ltd x 200 copies on green vinyl, with insert.• All LP / 12" Vinyl |
KE/HIL - 'Zone 0' CD (Tesco Organisation) - £11 |
 |
If you jumped the train on "Hellstation" you are now going to proceed to final destination: "Zone 0". Ke/Hil, the saints of the scum, are back with another bundle of reports from precarious minds and worlds, written in analogue noise reflecting degenerated inner city life and death. Observing non-zones, non-objects and especially non-subjects. Nightmarish sounds and rhythms beat are the pulse of cities and areas in agony. It could be your city! it could be you. This CD edition comes in a foldout A3 cover, showing a 2-sided map of Zone 0, with the CD itself in a separate card slip.• All Ke/Hil Titles |
LA PIETRA LUNARE - 'Same' CD (Lichterklang)
- £11 |
 |
La Pietra Lunare's debut album is a concept album dedicated to the mysteries of Italy. It tells how, in the years between the two wars, in some small villages of the south it was believed that magic rites and amulets could have some form of will on daily life. Taking inspiration from some cult Italian books, such as Tommaso Landolfi's homonymous novel, these song show how neofolk music has an esoteric origin through their real popular beliefs. Recorded over five years, the album includes guests from the Italian neofolk scene, such as Egida Aurea, ZSP, Lupi Gladius and Antiqua Lunae. Their genre could be a strange kind of neofolk called "verist post-folk". Ltd x 260 copies in a digipak. |
MELANCHOHOLICS - 'Solar Cafe' CD (Eibon Records)
- £10.50 |
 |
By combining found noises and field-recorded nature with minimal / fragile post-rock-guitars, drones and fuzzy low-end bass-lines, Melanchoholics create extensive soundscapes and almost cinematic soundtracks to psychotic euphoria and intoxicated wastelands. Solar Café is the final chapter within the discography of Melanchoholics. It is based on a series of stunning photos shot during research for a documentary on the long waiting period for the summer solstice in the village of Flateyri situated in Iceland's Westfjords. Melanchoholics have set their attention directly on the lurid sides of the human personality: desperate internal fears and simplistic structures and melodies fleshed out well with subtle textures and voices. The feeling is one of lamentation and dreariness as the sounds trudge along. Yet there is a warmth and smokiness to it as well. There is a colourful darkness before that day comes... the moment to celebrate the return of sunlight. Digisleeve.
• All Melanchoholics Titles |
MYTRIP - 'Empty' 7" (Amek) - £6 |
 |
Mytrip is a Dark Ambient / Drone project from Bulgaria, scattering its music since 2005. Some may recognise Mytrip from split releases with Human Larvae, TCH and Martin Lukanov. "Empty" is a small step on a new sonic path for Angel Simitchiev. The sound is deep as usual, but this time less lo-fi and warmer instead. The two conceptually linked pieces are thick, but still spatial. They ascend from pure darkness to a calmer and abrasive, yet almost uplifting feel. As with most of Mytrip's work, it is an attempt to bury an immense human loss in layers of abstract soundscapes. Ltd x 250 copies.• All 7" Vinyl |
NORTHAUNT - 'Istid I-II' 2 x LP (Cyclic Law) - £21 |
 |
9 long years after the release of the seminal album "Horizons", we are finally greeted to a new opus by Norway's most unique craftsmen of cold, desolate and deep Nordic ambient. Completely new material, crafted from recordings made from 200-2014! Constantly tapping into the singular northern landscapes of his native Norway for inspiration, Hærleif Langås transposes his views and feelings of the great white north into intricately deep and poignant soundscapes. "Once the world was alone, the landscapes had no names and there was no one to see them. An endless number of ice age dawns came and went unseen. The idea of this world, the world as it was before man, inspired me throughout the composition of these tracks. Roughly separated in two parts, one representing the light, the unburdened world before man, the other a much darker side of the same place." Ltd x 300 copies on one white / one black vinyl with digital download card.
• All Northaunt Titles • All LP / 12" Vinyl |
OTHILA - 'Brónagh' CD Boxset (ODS) - £18 |
 |
Othila is back with a new album of Ethno Pagan Ambient music. Sometimes ritual, sometimes epic, always cinematographic, the 10 tracks of Brónagh illustrate the accompanying novels. This album is for fans of Test Dept's Terra Firma and Gododdin, and all those of you ready for a mystical trip into mysterious and fantastic Celtic countries. Limited edition boxset of 300 copies including a 60-page book (6 novels in French illustrated by Sergio Toppi, Jean-Baptiste Monge, Jean-Marc Dauvergne, Aleksi Briclot, Piskic and David Dauner) and 4 inserts. This is the final part of Othila's Celtic Trilogy (after the Yula 10" and Titouan 7").• All Othila Titles |
SABLED SUN - '2147' CD (Cryo Chamber)
- £12 |
 |
The third album from the Sabled Sun's 21xx series about a man awoken from hibernation to a world in ruins, takes us through the third year 2147. Sabled Sun is the post-apocalyptic Dark Ambient project of Simon Heath (Atrium Carceri, Za Frumi). "A shattered man self taught to survive in the harsh world left empty by it's predecessors, only it's mechanical children left behind. The protagonist journeys through a burned out world towards the Outer Zones and the rumored space center there, in search for answers". Digipak.
• All Sabled Sun Titles |
SEETYCA - 'Nemeton CD (Winter-Light)
- £11 |
 |
"Nemeton" is the brand new studio album from Seetyca. In the ancient Celtic tradition, a Nemeton was a sacred space, primarily situated in natural areas, often sacred groves of trees. The album will take you to your own sacred place, as it hints at what lies hidden, ever deeper in the thick forests and darkened woods of Germany. A lo-fi master piece in dark ambient, the six tracks on this CD invoke feelings of apprehension, wonder and longing for a place never visited in the flesh but often travelled to in the minds eye. A place that lies tantalising just out of reach in the distance but that at any moment can become all consuming and enveloping. Encompassing you in thick dark layers of ambience and transporting you to a space from which there is no return. Ltd x 300 copies in a 6-panel digipak.
• All Seetyca Titles |
STREICHER - 'Annihilism' CD (Old Captain) - £11 |
 |
Streicher is one of the Industrial underground legends. Starting in Australia in the mid 80s with early projects such as Psy.Phalanx and Nife Junger, Ulex Xane began his Power Electronics / Noise project Streicher with a series of tape releases on his own label Zero Cabal. Originally inspired by his contact with Come Organisation (William Bennett of Whitehouse) and Broken Flag (Gary Mundy of Ramleh), Xane developed Streicher into his own unique style of Power Electronics, which came to be known as ‘Oi Noise’, extreme noise released mostly on cassette and distributed through the tape networks up to the early 90s which are now sought after collectors items. Streicher utilises a mix of total power noise with covert military recordings. A monument to futility, Streicher’s “Annihilism” recording is a stark comment on the current war without end. Recorded at Anal Ripper Studio in 1989-1991 and originally released by Zero Cabal in 1995. Ltd x 200 copies in digipak. |
TACTILE - 'Borderlands (Black Vinyl)' 2 x LP (Norton North) - £24 |
 |
"Borderlands" was released in 1999 with John Everall, Teresa Mills and Jhonn Balance (COIL) on the first track, Grief with an original text by William Hope Hodgson over an ominous wave of sound. This album is finally available on double vinyl, including a bonus track. The eight tracks here are pretty typical for TACTILE: rumbling/buzzing drone pieces with a personal atmospheric vision so cold and worm at the same time, each individual track does have a certain tonal nature and feel. "Borderlands" works well as a whole, and perhaps it is meant to be taken in as one long piece. Developmental drones, and a slightly higher degree of variations, are a perfect background for Balance's spoken words. This music seems to be hypnotic and intentionally desolate, sombre and emotionally bleak. All copies are numbered and come in a beautiful gatefold sleeve. Ltd x 100 numbered copies on black vinyl in a beautiful gatefold sleeve.
• All Tactile Titles • All LP / 12" Vinyl |
THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS - 'Synesthesia (Black Vinyl)' 2 x LP (Norton North) - £19 |
 |
Reissue of LPD's 2002 CD release (S.P.K.R.). Synesthesia serves as a companion to Chemical Playschool Volumes 11, 12 and 13, with eight indexed tracks, 57 minutes total, and 28 minutes worth of Premonitions smack dab in the middle. The dominating sound is electronic via synths, samples and programmed drums and the majority of the album is instrumental sound pieces. Shining Path and The More It Stays the Same are the two lyrical songs, delightful ones at that, but even they dissolve into audio experimentation. The Premonitions are, as always, fantastic escapes. Numbers 26 and 28 range from the faintest stirrings of mist and found sound to angry resonance and rhythmic clickety-clack. The closer, Kalos Melas, features the cutest marching melody you’ll likely hear this year. Contains rare live renditions of "The More It Stays the Same" and "The Divide". Ltd x 600 copies on black vinyl, in a stunning gatefold sleeve featuring silver print. • All The Legendary Pink Dots Titles • All LP / 12" Vinyl |
THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS - 'We'll Get Around To You' 7" (Norton North) - £12 |
 |

One previously unreleased song and an alternative version of the penultimate track on "Code Noir", presented on a 7" single that is such a beautiful presentation it takes the breath away. Comes with a fantastic lenticular cover (i.e. 4 layered images which only appear at different angles). Ltd x 200 copies on black vinyl. • All The Legendary Pink Dots Titles • All 7" Vinyl |
ZAHGURIM - 'Moral Rearmament - Special Edition' CD (Klanggalerie) - £12.50 |
 |
Zahgurim was a TOPY-affilated band formed in the mid-80's by Paul Ackerley and William Vince. They recorded one album, "Moral Rearmament" for Dossier side label Atonal. It was produced and mixed by Paul Ackerley and William Vince with Simon Crabtree and Julian Gilbert (Bourbonese Qualk) at The Old Ambulance Station, Old Kent Road, London on October 24 and 25 1984. This new and first digital edition celebrates the 30th anniversary of a classic Industrial album. A lot of percussion meets heavy Industrial beats, voices seem to come from nowhere and lose themselves in the sound. If you need comparison think Bourbonese Qualk, Psychic TV, Test Dept., Z'ev. Zahgurim later went on to form Left Hand Right Hand, but that's a different story. Digipak. |

OSEWOUDT - 'Gelag Van Zwartgeklede Kraaien' CD (Lichterklang)
- £11
A cold summer night at a cosy campfire that makes us forget the wind, and then... The sun rises behind enigmatic ancient rocks on the sea coast, the sound of drums, from the distance the wind carries an accordion, and then, guitars follow the rhythm, we stand up and start to sing.
