| BURIAL HEX - 'In Psychic Defense' CD (CSR197CD) - £8 |
 |
Shipping: 7th April
Burial Hex is a composition cycle of Post-Industrial music, dubbed “Horror Electronics”, by Clay Ruby. With a progressive mix of influences as far-reaching as vintage Industrial and Power Electronics, Kosmische Music, Black Metal, Techno and Electro, Early Music and Contemporary Classical, these dynamic compositions are simply unclassifiable. This compilation continues the stunning trajectory of the previous Cold Spring reissue collection, “Book of Delusions”, falling even further into the spiraling abyss of ritual music made in preparation for the Final Mysteries in the twilight of this Kali Yuga. Collecting tracks from various out-of-print vinyl releases, including In Psychic Defense, The Tower, Fantasie und Fuge, Hunger, and the highly sought-after “A Kiss To Birth The Rotted Sun” from the WVNDRKMMER 5xCS compilation, this volume is a welcome addition to every Burial Hex collection, as well as an ideal introduction for the Horror Electronics neophyte.

| SHIFT - 'Altamont Rising' CD (CSR195CD) - £8 |
 |
Shipping: 7th April
Ferocious and misanthropic new full-length from Sweden's son Shift. "Altamont Rising" is a calibration of the cosmic equilibrium in 7 chapters presented by Shift. The album deals with the consequences of man defying nature with Altamont as an example of what happens when pushed far enough. Three works /events stand as inspiration for the album: Apocalypse Now, Valhalla Rising and Altamont Free Festival. "Altamont Rising" is a brutal amalgamation of malicious vocals, drenched in heavy, claustrophobic death industrial and harsh noise.

These 5 lengthy compositions (just under 40 mins) are pre-Ableton / laptop generation type priest song creations. These legendary tracks were always rumoured to exist, are now released / unleashed for your listening pleasure. A bonus, previously unheard track from the same sessions closes the album. Jhonn Balance is also manifest on this gilded constellation. Beautifully remastered. Digipak.

AELDEBORN - 'The Cosmic Trident' CD (Lichterklang) - £11 |
 |
"The Cosmic Trident" is the second album of Aeldaborn, following the path of their debut "Fountain Of Darkened Fires". Aeldaborn celebrates ancient myths by the poignant use of martial influenced Dark Folk and Ritual music, which leads the listener to Viking Kings, the Finnish Kalevala, the mountain tops of the Hindu goddess Shiva, the funeral rites of the tibetian Bön or to the hidden doctrine of the Qlipoth. In addition to the diverse vocals of the band, guest performances by Frater Eremor and Asenath Mason put even more emphasis on the mythical and spiritual direction of the album. The sound is characterised by guitars, violin and drums in combination with the passionate lyrics, changing between melancholy, heroism and aggression. Ltd x 350 copies in a digipak with booklet.

ANTIKATECHON - 'Woe Is The Reward' CD (Rage In Eden) - £11 |
 |
Davide Del Col has been working in the uncompromising ritual dark ambient genre since the end of the 90s, firstly under the moniker of Ornament. This album provides a very accomplished effort in the realms of hauntingly dark ambient music with a touch of melancholic-spiritual inflected nihilism. A tremendous, entrancing and blasting dark ambient odyssey full of majestic sound sculptures, huge resonances, bleak noises, metallic reverbs and many more. This sonic, soundtracky and "acoustically haunted" ambient symphony will totally enthrall and ravish the listener. Be prepared to this intense sonorous adventure. Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak.

HIROSHI HASEGAWA / MAMA BAER - 'Split' LP (Domestic Violence Recordings / MNDR) - £15 |
 |
40 minute split from Japan's Hiroshi Hasegawa (Astro, C.C.C.C., South Saturn Delta) and Germany's Mama Baer. "Hasegawa is a noise artist and that shows on his sidelong piece 'Scarlet Dream'. He uses a multitude of synthesizer sounds, brings them all out to the maximum noise settings and then starts playing around, creating interactions to bring out more noise from all of these apparatus. A cosmic storm that explodes like a black hole - is that even possible? Mama Baer on the other side has no noise to offer, at least not noise of a conventional kind. The outsider music of Mama Baer is plain weird... My best guess for the pieces on this side would be that Mama Baer has access to a reel-to-reel machine, a turntable and a microphone, speeding up voices, looping sounds, doing karaoke and such like... fascinating" (Vital Weekly). Ltd x 177 numbered copies in a pasted sleeve.

HOROLOGIUM - 'Labyrinthos' CD (Rage In Eden) - £11 |
 |
"The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction: in the labyrinth, in hardness against themselves and others, in experiments. Their joy is self-conquest." "Labyrinthos" may be regarded as the musical summary of Horologium’s work thus far, starting with the debut album "The Fire Sermon" and ending with "Du Grand Désir", enclosed within nine new tracks. This album takes you on a journey filled with military and ritual drumming, ambient film score muzak, sublime recitation and fiery sound collages. An invitation to the labyrinth, marking the tenth anniversary of Horologium. Ltd x 400 copies in a digipak.

POST SCRIPTVM - 'Benommenheit' CD (Tesco Organisation) - £12 |
 |
Post Scriptvm is a New York-based Russian act that operates on the fringes of the original industrial, experimental, ambient and power electronics genres. The project's sound is repeatedly referenced as some of the darkest and most cinematic music in these fields. Their 5th full-length album is a heavy entanglement of morbid, rough-edged analogue industrial structures, warped samples, and eerie, hypnotizing ambient, submerged in otherworldly, mystical atmospheres. "Benommenheit" contemplates earthly existence as a ghostly, tenebrous moment between eternities. From the opening track to the final piece, he album unfolds a solitary journey, plagued by torturous angst, clouded by ethereal torpors, shadowed by tragic incongruities and concluded with nothing but the inevitable pain-filled departure back into the void. 6-panel digipak.
• All Post Scriptvm Titles |
SELAXON LUTBERG - 'Simboli Accidentali' CD (Denovali) - £13 |
 |
Selaxon Lutberg is the ambient project of the secluded Italian artist Andrea Penso. "Simboli Accidentali" is composed of 8 tracks, recorded between 2010 and 2012. The typically warm and encasing songs are mostly made with processed and unrecognisable guitars, an old and cheap organ and loops from ruined tapes and vinyl. The resulting sound can be found somewhere in the vast landscape spanned by the ambient / postrock of Labradford and Slowdive's "Pygmalion" era, the analogue and decayed loops of Philip Jeck and William Basinski, the cinematic feelings of Stars Of The Lid, and David Lynch's drones. Time to explore. Mastered by Miles Whittaker (Demdike Stare). Digipak.

THE AUSTRASIAN GOAT - 'Principles Of Disillusion' 2 x CD (Music Fear Satan) - £12.50 |
 |
With all the singles, splits and collaborations (like the ones with Niege Morte, L'Acephale, Habsyll, Hollow Sunshine etc) released by The Austrasian Goat since 2008, a record to compile all these strewn tracks was necessary. This double CD brings together 19 songs composed during the "Stains Of Resignation"-era with a mix of pure blasted black-metal tracks and mid dark-folk mid funeral-doom ballads. There is also a surprise on the record! Ltd x 1000 copies in a gatefold digisleeve.

YEAR OF NO LIGHT - '...Play Vampyr' CD (Init Records) - £11 |

OF THE WAND AND THE MOON - 'The Lone Descent' CD (Heidrunar Myrkrunar)
- £12
The long awaited and anticipated 5th album from Denmark's Of The Wand & The Moon. Kim Larsen takes a different road to the previous albums. 60's influenced, where the love for Lee Hazlewood and Serge Gainsbourg shines through. Still keeping the dark Neofolk roots, "The Lone Descent" is without doubt the most bleak and melancholic album from Of The Wand & The Moon, and clearly shows Larsen's brilliant talent as a singer/songwriter. Features guests: Lorenzo Woodrose (Baby Woodrose), Aron, Soma Allpass (Mew, Martin Hall), Bo Rande (The William Blakes, Mew, Blue Foundation), John Murphy (Death In June, Knifeladder, Nico, SPK), John van der Lieth (Sonne Hagal) and Anne Eltard (Solanaceae, OTWATM). CD comes in glossy spotvarnished slipcase and 24 pages booklet. Features the artwork of Alex Rose. |
