AWEN - 'The Hollow In The Stone' LP + CD (Trisol) - £26

Impressions of eternity. A modern voice for an ancient messenger. The delicate balance of warm wood, cold stone, and steel. These are some of the sonic flashes imparted on the listener of "The Hollow In The Stone", the third album from the Texas-based Neofolk / Post-Industrial band AWEN. Led by the stentorian voice of Erin Powell, sustained by the dulcet tones of Katrin X, and propelled by the delicate guitar work of Wes Radvansky, the album pushes and pulls in measures through avenues of melancholy and moments of horror, forcing the listener to become an active participant on the journey. Archaic actions leave palpable impressions - "The Hollow In The Stone". Featuring guest appearances from: Jerome Reuter (ROME), b9 InVid (ET NIHIL, LUFTWAFFE, THE MUSKETS), and Greg Elliott (DYING AND RISING). Ltd x 500 copies on clear 180gr vinyl with printed inner sleeve, and CD in card sleeve.

COLLECTION D'ARNELL-ANDREA - 'A Recrafted Winter' CD (Trisol) - £11

The Darkwave gods are on our side: After the surprising and enthralling return with their triumphant comeback "Another Winter" in early 2019, Collection D'Arnell-Andrea are already back with "A Recrafted Winter". The album sees France's pioneers of all sounds dark and melancholic create a wholly remastered, remixed and electrified sister record to this soulful piece of art by the hand of Piers Volta (Near Death Experience, Objectile). Winter's overture is here. Elegiac yet powerful Darkwave, enmeshed in neoclassical drama and electronic finesse: the symphonic or convulsive strings respond vigorously to the tenacious melancholy of a nostalgic piano; they let themselves be carried away in the electro turmoil of aerial or noisy guitars, arpeggio synths and minimalist rhythmic loops - this is far beyond rendering some songs dancefloor-compatible. Instead, those precious pieces of music have been dissected quite carefully and transferred onto an altogether new level of meaning.

COLLECTION D'ARNELL-ANDREA - 'Another Winter' CD (Trisol) - £11

Darkwave and Heavenly Voices pioneers Collection D'Arnell Andrea return to the stage of lugubrious music. Their tenth studio album is redefining and reinventing Darkwave. Founded in 1986, they have presented fey, darkly romantic masterpieces, sworn to the enigmatic and the melancholic. Ever timeless, ever permeated by a deep poetic magic, their first new album since 2010 floats into our ears as effortlessly and soft as their visionary records of the 80's and 90's. Elegiac yet powerful Darkwave, enmeshed in neoclassical drama and electronic finesse. The lyrics evoke the universality of passing times, the sorrows and the mourning but the remarkable, captivating and more present than ever voice of Chloé transforms these contemporary elegies into a romanticism turned towards the light. The musical colour of the album retains all the originality of a sound forged for almost 30 years. Digipak with booklet.

ROME - 'A Cross Of Fire (Die Æsthetik Der Herrschaftsfreiheit: Aufruhr)' CD (Trisol) - £11

The second part of the "Die Æsthetik Der Herrschaftsfreiheit" trilogy from Rome - a three disc journey into the hearts and minds of the oppressed. Here, Rome run stylistic and emotional gamut: rousing folk numbers with an almost seditious air, dark romantic ballads as well as intimate collages. Without ever becoming enslaved to one particular ideological alignment or descending into nihilism, the song cycle portrays the history of the libertarian / revolutionary movement within Europe and at the same time underlines the human importance of such an endeavour. This volume concerns itself with the beauty of the righteous fight and also the constantly impending danger of it becoming perverted. "We must doubt ourselves. The clarity of our intentions, the profundity of our thoughts, the benevolence of our deeds! We must doubt our own truthfulness! Do lies not already linger in them again?" (Ilse Aichinger). Presented in a debossed digipak with booklet.

ROME - 'A Cross Of Flowers (Die Æsthetik Der Herrschaftsfreiheit: Aufgabe)' CD (Trisol) - £11

"Art holds a unity that history does not". It is not without good reason that this slogan is preposed to the third part of the "Die Æsthetik Der Herrschaftsfreiheit" trilogy from Rome. Art should not be confused with reality (Brecht), yet Rome succeed equally in illustrating the warm-heartedness of their protagonists and demonstrating the unity of art and the struggle for freedom. "Aufgabe" is an appeal for the cultivation of life-affirming, moral and life-enhancing, aesthetic values. To turn one's own life into a work of art, to give yourself to this work. "A three disc journey into the hearts and minds of the oppressed... Rome's neo-folk take on the singer-songwriter genre is one of elegance and beauty... we hear a somewhat more mellow sound, a little more acoustic work and some genuine moments of elation... t is beautiful, heartbreaking, thought provoking and can be taken as whole or as individual pieces... A sense of sadness seems to permeate this last record. The voice and concept tinged with a forlorn beauty." (Scene Point Blank). Presented in a debossed digipak with booklet.

ROME - 'Anthology 2005-2015' CD (Trisol) - £11

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the project, Rome embarked on an extensive world tour and released this concise retrospective entitled "Anthology (2005-2015)". This selection features some of the most important works of Rome - songs of haunting beauty, moving through the hinterlands of fact and myth, and speaking of the greater context as well as from the heart. Featuring 20 tracks spanning classic albums such as 'Berlin', 'Nera', 'Confessions D'Un Voleur D'Ames', 'Masse Mensch Material', 'Flowers From Exile', 'To Die Among Strangers', 'Nos Chants Perdus', 'Hell Money', and 'A Passage To Rhodesia', this serves as the perfect introduction to a modern Neofolk legend, and an essential chronicle for die hard fans. A man with his guitar... an otherwise empty stage... and so it begins anew. Presented in a 6-panel digipak.

ROME - 'Anthology 2005-2015' 2 x LP (Trisol) - £25

Double vinyl edition of the above release. Presented on 180gr white vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with printed innersleeves.

ROME - 'Berlin' MCD (Trisol) - £8.50

Reissue of the debut release from this star of the apocalyptic-folk-scene, originally released by CMI in 2006. Emerging from the punk and singer-songwriter genres, Rome has combined these attitudes with a sombre and experimental martial-folk, and a strong personal imprint. Rome is about emotive songs that are both catchy and disturbed. These songs awake memories of love and death, with the reoccurring themes of despair and loss, guilt and grief, might and war. With the cynical opening line "Once we learned to speak we learned to fail", the band sets a grand colour to this exquisite suite of 6 exclusive songs. Presented in a debossed digipak with new artwork and booklet.

ROME - 'Coriolan' MCD (Trisol) - £9

"Coriolan" is a wild ride through different musical genres, while maintaining a Neofolk flavour; marching loops, fire-spitting post-punk, darkwave and ballads: Rome deliver an uncompromising and eclectic 8-track mini-album based on the story of one of the most opaque of Shakespeare's tragic heroes, Coriolanus. A noticeable and successful return to former levels of sound and production quality. Guest vocals by Michael De Victor (While Angels Watch) and guest drums by Laurent Fuchs (Toxkäpp!). Presented in a hefty 6-panel digipak with booklet.

ROME - 'Nos Chants Perdus' CD (Trisol) - £11

A 'poetry of longing' which rings out from a dark melancholic mist gives expression to a comprehensive feeling of modern forlornness. The protagonists of their music are the unintentional 'rebels', firmly in the tradition of Jaques Brel and Léo Ferré, with lyrical inspiration from Camus, Proust, Sartre and Genet. On "Nos Chants Perdus" Rome slowly leave the apocalyptic realm, developing their singer-songwriter sound further. Catchy melodies, which breathe the timeless atmosphere of the metropolis on the Seine, impress themselves on the memory. The sonorous voice bears the weltschmerz as well as the yearning for freedom and peace. Apart from the French song titles the lyrics are primarily performed in English, while the music is constructed primarily with acoustic instruments: piano, guitar, touches of strings, accordion. They have largely relinquished electronic elements, which marks "Nos Chants Perdus" out as a further stride in the work of the band. "Nos Chants Perdus" is an exceptional and valuable example of the art of singer-song-writing, the likes of which haven't been heard in this concentration and with such gravity for a long time. Reissue in debossed digipak with booklet.

ROME Feat THÅSTRÖM - 'Stillwell' MCD (Trisol) - £9

Among several instant classics, Rome's 2016 release "The Hyperion Machine" included a duet with legendary Swedish singer-songwriter, punk rock godfather and all-around musical genius Joakim Thåström. This 5-track CD not only features that particularly sombre ballad, but also the initial recording of "Stillwell" that served as the basis for the sonic meeting of two like-minded troubadours. On the album version Joakim Thåström and Jerome Reuter added beats, percussion and strings into the song, as well as some additional lyrics in Swedish. Also featured is the intimate version of "Skirmishes For Diotima", which shows the song in its original form. Another gem is the melange of two early Rome tracks: "Beasts And Birds Of Prey": a journey back to the earlier days of Rome. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

SVART1 - 'Monòtono' CD (Mask Of The Slave) - £11

The highly anticipated new album from the Italian master! A microcosm of dark and gloomy sounds characterised by minimal movements, between low and evolutionary. Dark Ambient with thunderous, metallic roars, where shadowy presences materialise, like the experience and the feeling of alienation... like a dark presence floating around the ears of the unconscious passenger. Mastered by Simon Balestrazzi. Ltd x 250 copies in an elegant digisleeve, with photography by Raimondo Gaviano.

THE LUST SYNDICATE - 'Capitalism Is Cannibalism' LP + CD (Trisol) - £26

The debut album from Simone Salvatori (SPIRITUAL FRONT)'s new band. Capitalism is war. Capitalism is cannibalism. Western society is devouring itself, just as it previously devoured other societies. This realisation brings anger, and demands an answer. Simone Salvatori brings this fury with The Lust Syndicate; he destroys all we came to trust, infecting our imaginary idylls forever. The aggressive course pursued by the death-fixated cover is an effortless and perfect fit for the tracks collected here. Guest musicians: Sean Ragon (Cult Of Youth), Erin Powell (Awen), Michael De Victor (While Angels Watch), Caroline Jago (Seventh Harmonic, ex-Sol Invictus), Gary Carey (Joy Of Life), plus Italian actor Mark Thompson Ashworth, and American occultist Paul Smalley. More than cult Neofolk, the album features driving percussion, melodic fragments and gut-wrenching noise, with tribal metallic beats and the trademark suicide pop Spiritual Front is known for. The Lust Syndicate gives our powerlessness a voice and calls for a revolt. Ltd x 500 copies on 180gr white vinyl with CD (which includes 6 bonus tracks) in card sleeve.

TORBA - 'Ivrjèn' Cassette (Cønjuntø Vacíø) - £7.75

"Ivrjèn" is a crude collage made out of hums and crackings, walls of noise, rough sound textures and found footage. Mostly based on tape manipulation, heavy electronics, amplified objects and field recordings, combining a wide array of shades and dynamics on severe sound structures. Extremely minimal tape music and field recordings made in southern Italy, Torba is known for collaborations with Vomir, Praying For Oblivion, Raven, Zebra Mu, To-Bo, Luca Sigurtà, and more.

V:XII - 'Rom, Rune And Ruin - The Odium Disciplina' CD (Aesthetic Death Records) - £10.50

Swedish blackened death industrial / dark ambience from Daniel Jansson - who is the mastermind behind such great acts as Deadwood, Culted, Blodulv and more. A truly disturbing and chilling piece of audial terror! Pushing the boundaries of conventional methods of expression and experimentation with sounds of hatred and despair. Mastered by Greg Chandler (Esoteric). Ltd x 500 copies in a 6-panel digipak with art by Teratogen.

VUKOVAR - 'Monument' 2 x LP + CD (Trisol) - £26

A dark melancholic gem, somewhere between the heavy atmosphere of Rome's "Nera", Coil's "Moon's Milk" phase, Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson's hypnotic film music-like moments and driving post-punk - yet always bearing the unmistakable hallmark of Michael Cashmore (NATURE AND ORGANISATION / CURRENT 93). The past meets the future. Vukovar's new album sees their first collaboration with iconic English artist, musician and composer Michael Cashmore, to turn the three shades of Vukovar into four; a marriage made in purgatory. This album reflects a Wonderland gone sour, fragile music box chimes collide with shards of harsh noise, motorik rhythms brood menacingly beneath lush synthetic textures and angelic voices that contort them into contempt in these incredible recordings. An essential release by two artists at the peak of their creative powers moving on ever forward in increasingly surprising ways. Ltd x 500 copies on 180gr magenta vinyl with full colour inner sleeves and a CD of the album included as a bonus in a full colour slip. This remarkable package is housed within stunning new artwork by Cashmore himself.

WIND ATLAS - 'Arche-Fossil' LP (Cønjuntø Vacíø) - £18

Wind Atlas' fourth record sees the band pushing the boundaries of their own music as genres such as post-industrial electronics, ambient, noise and popular Mediterranean music merge, bringing to life a hybrid and intense album. Electronic landscapes have taken over their music, reflecting the issues that weave through the album regarding the relationship between human beings and reality. Is it possible to know an uninterpretable reality? What is knowing? How does the relationship between human beings and reality work? These questions inform a series of songs that produce a voice that continuously muses on what it perceives and the ways in which it does. In "Arche-Fossil", Wind Atlas continue exploring some of the paths they began mapping with their previous record, exploring enormous empty spaces, water and the body through experimental electronics, industrial sounds, power electronics, trance and elements of Spanish traditional and oral literature.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Anthology Of Contemporary Music From Indonesia' CD (Unexplained Sounds) - £12

For many centuries Indonesia, from the Malay Peninsula throughout the vast archipelago, has been subjected to successive foreign cultural invasions (Mongolian, Indian, the Western 'Civilization'), which have left their deep imprint on the indigenous way of life. The cultural diversity is naturally reflected in the music. In the current globalized and digital communications-dominated era, influences from the Western world become more and more evident, in everyday life, as well in popular art and music from Indonesia. But listening to the tracks included in this compilation, you'll discover how traditional Indonesian music, even in its more 'primitive' forms, as well in the very elaborate and developed ones from Javanese and Balinese tradition, are still very much recognizable. The current mix of influences in the experimental and avant-garde music from this region has resulted in an extremely fascinating kaleidoscope of sounds. Experimental, Noise, Drone, and Electrocoustic music from: Senyawa, Asangata, Wukir Suriyadi, Gaung Jagat Ensemble, Stylucipher, Patrick Hartono, The Resonance Of ((( US ))), SAABA, Theo Nugraha, Dadang Dwi Septiyan, Rully Shabara, Genta Nirvana, and Artmosf.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Anthology Of Persian Experimental Music' CD (Unexplained Sounds) - £12

A CD version of the previously only digital "Persian experimental underground survey", one of the most recognised anthologies focusing on experimental and alternative music from Iran. Music is imprinted into Persian culture pre-dating Islam by more than 1400 years. By the time of its arrival in Iran in the 7th century, Persians had already developed the core of the theoretical framework of music of Middle Eastern origin still valid to this day. The 12th Century represented a point of departure as Sufism penetrated Persian culture and poetry became intertwined with music. This survey of avant-garde music in Iran has uncovered a wide range of unique voices and compositional styles resulting in a mature body of work: Alphaxone, Xerxes The Dark, Nyctalllz, Spectro Duo, S.S.M.P., Tehransmission, Umchunga, Idlefon, Bicolor, NUM, idft, and Ostanes. Remastered for CD by Sonologyst. Ltd x 200 copies in a digipak with new cover art. Highly recommended for fans of Cold Spring's double disc Iranian compendium, "Visions Of Darkness".
