MZ. 412 - 'Hekatomb' CD (CSR172CD) - £9

Shipping: 2nd March
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: 2nd March
“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: 2nd March
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.

ALEKSANDR MATOCHKIN - 'Traditional Woeful Folksongs Of Russian Kin' CD (Vegvisir Music)
- £11

Daring fun, kosovorotkas and kokoshniks, clapping and stomping - such associations we have now with the words "Russian song". Here is the other face of Russian song heritage - a selection of songs from the collection of Alexander Matochkin, among which are Russian folk songs, some foreign and the author's songs too. Alexander Matochkin was born and grew up in an urban environment, where Russian traditional song is a real rarity now. No wonder - true folk, not arranged and not accompanied by instrument song is a real surprise to the modern listener - such inescapable, ultimate Russian melancholy is in it. Alexander mastered the traditional Russian songs in the folk ensemble of the St. Petersburg State University. For 15 years he studied folk songs, toured with expeditions in the Russian North, has collected many ancient tunes and tales. Ltd x 200 copies in a 6-panel digipak with booklet.

DAMIEN DUBROVNIK - 'The Vanity Set' LP (Alter) - £14

Formed in 2009, Damien Dubrovnik is the Danish electronic duo of Christian Stadsgaard (Sarah’s Charity) and Loke Rahbek (Sexdrome, Var, Lust For Youth), founders of the Copenhagen record label Posh Isolation. Their third LP, "First Burning Attraction", draws explicitly from DIY minimal synth traditions and the canon of European Industrial music, resulting in the strongest manifestation of their sound so far. Consisting of 6 powerful and varied tracks, the album features more of the brooding synth parts and ominous bass throbs that dominated the highlights of previous LP "Europa Dagbog - Europa Diary", yet it feels tenser and more atmospheric due to the application of new acoustic-based sound sources, primitive bass pulses and more disciplined dynamics. Rahbek’s vocals, which were previously guttural and wild, appear more restrained here giving the tracks an alluring air of ambiguity and suggestiveness - no undirected aggression, but something more thoughtful and introspective instead.

All LP / 12" Vinyl

DAMIEN DUBROVNIK - 'The Vanity Set' LP (Posh Isolation) - £16

Originally released by on cassette by Järtecknet (2011) in an edition of just 100 copies. This Danish duo also run the Posh Isolation label out of Copenhagen - Christian Stadsgaard (Sarah’s Charity) and Loke Rahbek (Sexdrome, Var, Lust For Youth). "The Vanity Set" bears all the trademarks of past releases but shows another side of the coin. A very atmospheric and bleak recording divided into three long tracks. Even if it's moving from minimal industrial compositions to fierce noise outbursts, it is always covered with the cold and distant hands of despair. Ltd x 300 copies.

All LP / 12" Vinyl

DOXA SINISTRA - 'Via Del Latte' LP (Enfant Terrible) - £14

Doxa Sinistra was all about pure minimal electronics, proto-elektro and experimentation. Their debut album received only praise as being way ahead of its time back then, and being even today daring in the field of electronic music. Originally released on cassette back in 1982 (Trumpett), "Via Del Latte" now appears on vinyl for the first time. This debut is serious freaky stuff. Dissonant electronic sounds and weird tunes make up for a sort of sci-fi / horror B-movie soundtrack. This is not your every day easy listening, but a trip through a surreal Milky Way. Ltd x 325 copies.

All LP / 12" Vinyl

FORREST - 'Beyond The Withered Hills' LP (I, Absentee) - £18

Warren Kroll's meditative ambient/drone project, Forrest, returns for just his second full-length in seven years. Elements of the album commenced in 2006 in Ohio. A labour of love, tracks were carefully crafted over humid summer days and cool autumn nights over the next eight years, during only his most inspired of moments. Key pieces were crafted in South Bend, Indiana, using guitar, synths, voice and field recordings and more, with writing coming to a conclusion in 2014 in Lacey, Washington. A cross-country odyssey recorded over the better part of a decade and loosely inspired by the works of Kerouac, Steinbeck and Bradbury. "A complex and disarmingly creative record whose sounds speak of the mystical and the physical in the same airy breath".  For fans of William Basinski, Stars Of The Lid, and Mirror. Cover painting, design and layout by Eric Adrian Lee. Mastered by James Plotkin. Ltd x 250 copies on gold / black vinyl.

HYBRYDS - 'The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive' CD (Zoharum) - £11

This album is the fourth instalment in the reissue series of Hybryds classic releases. It is an expanded reissue of ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive (1)” EP (1991), extended to a 70-minute full album with the other two parts of ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive” included, plus one more bonus song. ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive” contains slowly-evolving, long pieces which will hypnotise the listener with their sonic magic. Four songs on this album come from the same period, so it sounds very cohesive. Because three of them were not published before, this complete version of ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive” might be treated as a new album. Digitally remastered from the original stereo cassette master by Sandy Nys, who also provided the cover based on the previous editions. This is the ritual music at its best. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

INNER VISION LABORATORY - 'The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive' CD (Zoharum) - £11

”Austeros” is the third album of Inner Vision Laboratory, an ambient project of Karol Skrzypiec. "Austeros" unites sounds from the surrounding reality. The meanings and references do not illustrate or deconstruct as usual, but completely allow new musical beings to peal out, torn alive from random, lost radio broadcasts, the cacophony of everyday life, or unspecified ether. "Austeros" is an album that allows the individual to enjoy the sounds, served with reverence, which, thanks to its minimal consequences, reverberate with the strength. The more they strike, the more you get into this kind of futuristic world, disappearing faster and faster into oblivion. Once again IVLAB shows that the form is a useful tool in overturning established routines ... to build on their ashes a message sent to sublime senses. Ltd x 300 copies in an ecopak.

KONSTRUKTIVISTS - 'Anarchic Arcadia' CD (E-Klageto / Psych.KG) - £11

Konstruktivists, the legendary industrial/experimental UK group, returns with a brand new album. "Anarchic Arcadia" features 8 new tracks recorded during the past two years. Glenn M. Wallis and Mark Crumby prepared one hour of experimental songs, twisted dance music, dark electronica. The influences span 4 decades. "Anarchic Arcadia" is an album that will appeal to both fans of classic projects such as Coil, Chris and Cosey or SPK, and followers of modern dark electronics in the vein of Demdike Stare or The Haxan Cloak. The great cover was designed by Natascha Schampus. Ltd x 300 copies.

MACHINEFABRIEK - 'Loos' MCD (None) - £7

Recorded live at Éphémère, Studio Loos, The Hague, 11.12.2014. Performed by Rutger Zuydervelt, using analogue tone generator, mini speaker, smartphone, contact mic, coil pick-ups, effects pedals, mixer.

MACHINEFABRIEK - 'The Measures Taken' CD (Zoharum) - £11

Renowned sound artist Rutger Zuydervelt returns with a brand new album. ”The Measures Taken” is the score for a dance performance by choreographer Alexander Whitley and visual artists Marshmallow Laser Feast. It was originally commissioned by the Royal Opera House and premiered there in May 2014. The spectacular performance involves a lot of hi-tech interactivity between dancers and projected visuals. The theme of man vs/with machine is magnified by the music, which combines warm melodic pads with glitchy white noise and propulsive rhythms. A striking musical output, with or without the visuals. Ltd x 300 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve.

All Machinefabriek Titles

PUCE MARY - 'Persona' LP (Posh Isolation) - £16

With her second solo full length Puce Mary proves herself to be one of the most interesting projects around today. "Persona" manages to balance the hyper personal universe of the artist with enough care for presentation to make it valuable for everyone to listen to, and take part in her experience. And she does that through six tracks, that each take their own place while corresponding beautifully with its neighbours. From primitive rhythmic patterns to elaborate drone pieces and pain stricken vocals. Insisting on finding new routes for the work and with a rare honesty, "Persona" holds its listener captive from start to finish. Ltd x 700 copies.

All LP / 12" Vinyl

RICHARD PINHAS / TAMAGAWA - 'S/T' LP (Mayo Records) - £15

Richard Pinhas, guitarist from cult band Heldon, is here accompanied by his son Duncan Pinhas, Oren Ambarchi (Sunn O))), Gravetemple) and Erick Borelva. The musicians interpret a very tense-flowing track, where the sounds are all mixed in one another and where the arrow is never let go of. Tamagawa, lonesome guitarist, plays a series of songs totally stripped from subtlety. A suite of audible haikus bring to mind the sound of footsteps in the water... a distant waterfall. Ltd x 300 numbered copies on splattered orange/black translucent vinyl. Presented in silver ink silkscreened covers with insert.

All LP / 12" Vinyl

SLUICE ROOM - 'Antinatalist Variations' CD (Sink Slop Processing) - £10.50

Pure harsh noise from Seattle. "Relentless pounding at your walls. Mechanical whirring of Azathoth. Forced into meat at the behest of your progenitors. Wrestle with ouroboros in the sophomore ceremony from Sluice Room". Digipak with Braille insert card.

STROM NOIR - 'Glaciology' CD (Zoharum) - £11

Strom Noir is a moniker for Emil Matko. On his new album, Emil goes to places filled with white glaciers and snow-capped mountains. The subtitle of Strom Noir latest album is "Four Songs about Snow and Ice." Emil skillfully converted the arctic landscapes into sonic structures. Four compositions filled with static guitar drones resemble a snowy picture. They unravel very slowly and subtly into one another. They require focusing on them. A 20-minute bonus track - which is the full version of ”Niekedy Sa Vracaju” originally released on "Tanec Rusaliek" cassette in the shortened version - has a similar sense. Ltd x 300 copies in an ecopak.

All Strom Noir Titles

SURVIVALIST - 'Les Mouvements Del A Femme' CD (Bleakscape) - £10.50

The 5th album from Survivalist, after previous albums on Sadisque, Murderabilia and Signora Ward Records. 8 brand new tracks of advanced, extreme, violent fetish electronics / sadistic power electronics. Sounds by Martin Daniels, with vocals from Magda Caruska. Ltd x 100 copies!

TREPANERINGSRITUALEN & SUTEKH HEXEN - 'One Hundred Year Storm' 2 x LP (Pesanta) - £23

Recorded live in 2013 at Stella Natura Festival in Tahoe National Forest. An archival quality audio-documentation of the otherworldly performance that notoriously unleashed the elements upon Stella Natura. This blistering collaboration showcases easily the darkest performance to take place under the Sierra Nevada skies over the course of the festival's history. Mastered for vinyl by James Plotkin. Ltd x 350 copies on black vinyl in a gatefold jacket with metallic printing, spot gloss and a screen-printed obi strip. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

TROUM / CLOSING THE ETERNITY & AD LUX TENEBRAE - 'Dilo' 12" (Vegvisir Music) - £15

Pure dark shamanic ambient vinyl-only split of two reputable masters - Troum and duo of Closing The Eternity and Ad Lux Tenebrae. Music inspired by the ambience and atmosphere of swamps and marshes. A long static, hollow and oppressive track of Troum fills the A-side. A slow immersion to cold, roily waters. The B-side is catchy, disquiet, full of flutes and bells - an aural journey of Closing The Eternity with Ad Lux Tenebrae through the soaked withered ferns and mossy woods of Ural. Ltd x 121 copies on black vinyl.

KONTAKT DER JÜNGLINGE - '0' CD (Die Stadt) - £13

This is the second part of the ongoing series of live performances (numbered backwards) by Kontakt Der Jünglinge - the collaborative project of renowned sound sculptors Thomas Köner and Asmus Tietchens. "0" was recorded inside the MS Stubnitz, a ship situated in the harbour of Rostock, Germany. Much more 'basic' in the use of sounds that their first CD '1', the 43 minute long track creates denser and darker atmosphere with occasional rhythmic additions, seeming to reflect the space it was recorded in. Ltd x 900 regular copies in a card sleeve.

ORTHODOX - 'Baal' CD (Alone Records) - £10.50

4th album from the Spanish Avant-Doom trio. Like previous efforts, the new Orthodox album moves again towards a search of spirituality and the sense of innovation that is part of their music. This time the band has concentrated all its strength and sound imagery into these 5 pieces. The band explores its roots to leave behind the search for alterations in their musical language and the emerging psychedelic and progressive atmospheres that appeared in their previous work "Sentencia". This work sums up all the attributes picked by the band during their career, places them in a new starting point and gives them a spectacular projection because their sound and musical ideas have yet to travel far beyond. "Orthodox were a metal band once, but they have become much bigger. At this point, everything they have in common with doom music or any other style of metal music is the sense of spirituality and their search of catharsis through rites" (The Wire).

VISHUDHA KALI - 'The White Stone' CD (Fight Muzik) - £10.50

Martial / ritual noise filled with heroic pathos. "The White Stone' features dense walls of sound made using analogue synthesizers, samplers and electro-organs - each track recorded in real time. It also features Kali's agonising vocals. Ltd x 444 hand-numbered copies in a unique fold out sealed sleeve, with a lyric & photo booklet.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Americanoise' 2 x CD (Audio Dissection) - £13

Reissue on double CD format of the classic cult American harsh noise compilation, previously released by Mother Savage Noise Productions on tape format in 1995 and limited to just 150 copies.
