TREPANERINGSRITUALEN - 'Perfection & Permanence'
'MOSS GREEN' LP £23 | T-SHIRT £18 - OUT NOW!

Bandcamp Soundcloud Soundcloud YouTube

2026 edition of the lauded 2014 T × R × P album.

Trepaneringsritualen
explores themes of religion, magick and the hidden realms of consciousness, taking its musical cues from the old school of ritual ambient & death industrial. Rhythmic and seething at times, and oozing forward with a creeping sense of desolation at others, Trepaneringsritualen conjures forth bleak but mesmerizing visions of the end-times.

"Perfection & Permanence": a hymn to Isis; a further exploration of the duality of the holy harlot, the black skinned Magdalen, mother and concert of the Christ; Yeshua Ben Yosef, son of MAN; the shameful dead, those who sold their brothers, condemned to forever roam the earth; to transgress the abyss, to mortify flesh, towards cosmic renovation. It is lonely, it is awful; on the verge of physical death, but still unable to understand; absolute perfection may be attained through WILL.

A conversation with angels, in archaic tongues; EirÍkr inn Sigrsæli sold his blood and kin to desert rats for corporeal power. EirÍkr, we spit on you; from across the abyss, it rises. Ceaseless, blood-churning, terrible; an incoherent accusation by the mirror image, he who's blood was shed to atone another man’s sins. Without bloodshed there can be no salvation.

Early hallucinatory ritual percussion works from the much-missed rhythmajik master Z'EV, with his 1983 Berlin Atonal performance as a bonus track (first time on any format since the original split LP with Psychic TV).


This legendary album by Industrial pioneer Z'EV was originally released in 1986 (LP, Dossier), now finally available with the state-of-the-art remastering it deserves. Also included is the bonus 20 minute track 'Titan Night', recorded at Berlin Atonal in December 1983, now available here for the first time on any format since the original 1984 split LP with Psychic TV (who performed their iconic set at the same event). Z'EV performed on all-steel, custom-made percussion instruments, designed to activate the acoustics of the space.


"Each track finds Z'EV creating moody and atmospheric percussion based compositions. If you're familiar with Z'EV's work you'd say these tracks are a bit more primal, stripped back, and unmanipulated. Each track takes in a set pattern of percussive elements, which he investigates over the tracks length, and these move from forceful battering onto more moody drifts, and in between the two... a worthy work from this most respected and unequalled artist" (Musique Machine).

CD in matt digipak, with all artwork remaining true to Z'EV's original concepts.

VA - 'Salò or The 120 Days Of Sodom' -
CD £11 - OUT NOW! | T-Shirt £18 - OUT NOW! | LP BROWN - 29th MAY

Bandcamp  Soundcloud

The first time on any format for Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial 1975 vision of the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, featuring beautiful and discordant classical compositions, in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding onscreen.


Three weeks before the scandalous release of "Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom", Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote 'Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini' (Goodbye to Pier Paolo Pasolini) for the late filmmaker, included in the final edit.

Following the narrative of one of Pasolini's defining cinematic moments, the soundtrack opens with Ennio Morricone's "Son Tanto Triste", descends into the melancholic minor chords of Bach, Chopin, Orff, Puccini, and Graziosi, incorporates sinister renditions by the cast, and includes Morricone's own sombre tribute to the director.

Disgusted by the flood of crass sexploitation movies which filled the space opened up by his "Trilogy Of Life", Pasolini turned to the most nihilistic thinker in European history for what became his final film. His version of De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, amplified with motifs from Dante's Inferno, confronts the ultimate implications of fascism in a series of sexual and moral atrocities. "The only true anarchy is power".

The CD was released on Friday 13th February 2026, exactly 249 years since the Marquis de Sade was arrested and imprisoned in the dungeon of the Vincennes fortress for charges of "debauchery and immoderate libertinage" that scandalised his contemporaries.

DEREK JARMAN - 'Through The Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping'
LP £23 OUT NOW!


  Bandcamp  Soundcloud

Written in 1971 and read here by the author himself "Through the Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping" is Derek Jarman's only known work of narrative fiction.


Providing a prelude to some of the imagery Derek Jarman would use later in his career, particularly the alchemical dreamscapes in the film "Blue", it is a surreal, hallucinatory fairytale, signposted with elements of modernity, that has much of the mythic and archetypal about it.

With tantalising autobiographical details and a panoply of chromatic landscapes and psychosexual symbols, this richly poetic story details a journey with no destination or purpose across a mythical America, undertaken by the young blind King Amethyst and his valet John.

Previously only ever released on cassette (2022, Prototype Publishing, Ltd 80), this vinyl edition features facsimile images of the story's handwritten drafts from Jarman's archive and photos by the artist Michael Ginsborg, a close friend of Jarman's throughout the period of the story's writing.

Ltd x 500 copies on heavyweight 180gm black vinyl in gloss sleeve.

ONE LEG ONE EYE - '...And Take The Black Worm With Me'
CD £11.50 - OUT NOW!

  Bandcamp   YouTube    YouTube  

As a founding member of Dublin experimental folk group LANKUM, Ian Lynch explores submerged leylines of music and song. His solo project ONE LEG ONE EYE sees him taking a fresh approach to musical arrangement culminating in a sound that is more rooted in the raw aesthetics of second wave black metal than contemporary folk.


Over the course of a year, Ian Lynch enjoyed the freedom of experimenting and exploring different paths of sound design without expectation or pressure. Seeking out interesting settings to record music and gather field recordings, the essence of which have seeped into the spirit of the music, Lynch explores rediscovered spaces in Dublin and familiar interior spaces. He frequently visited the abandoned warehouse where his father worked and sang with his shruti box, contented in his solitude.

The result is a distinct and sometimes harrowing drone-folk atmosphere conjured throughout the album's lengthy and enveloping compositions, with an eerily beautiful, immersive sadness resonating throughout.

"An immersive world of created sounds and raw, resonant singing... dazzling sounds... gorgeousness and menace... lyrics carrying oceans of sadness" (5/5, The Guardian)

Features Ian Lynch on hurdy gurdy, uilleann pipes, synth, vocals, shruti box, concertina, guitar, found sounds, and tape, with guests: Laurie Sue Shanaman (Ails, Ludicra) on vocals, and Ruth Clinton (Landless, Poor Creature) on church organ.

Only available on a one-time, long sold out CD pressing in Ireland (Nyahh Records, 2022), we now present this incredible album with an exclusive bonus track 'Sympathetic Invertebrate Ritual', recorded especially for this edition.

NEW MAILORDER IMPORTS
BANDERA | GRANZIERA - '5 Marzo' CD (St.An.Da. / Silentes) - £12

A very special project by Paolo L. Bandera (Sigillum S, Sshe Retina Stimulants, The Sodality) and Devis Granziera (Teatro Satanico, Lunus, La Porta Ermetica), released on the day of their birthday. "We were both born on the fifth of March, even if in different years... after having been friends for a long time, we started discussing a possible collaboration in late 2024 and Devis came up with the intriguing idea of playing around references to other people which were also born on March 5... a mythological and symbolic exercise in sound alchemy and time dissection. So, we selected the appropriate icons, and then started a special kind of dance, merging our own sensibilities and histories with the peculiar aura of each Birthday Twin... something like a Sigillic Theater of Satanic Relatives". A unique work, dealing with memories and legacies from: Ennio Flaiano, Rosa Luxemburg, Giambattista Tiepolo, Zhou Enlai, Letizia Battaglia, Filippo Panseca and Pier Paolo Pasolini... a mystic elegy for kindred souls and psychic partners. Ltd x 200 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve.
COLD PROPHET - 'Cold Prophet' 2 x CD (The Sinister Initiative) - £16

Nightmarish debut album of cold, misanthropic Death Ambient from one of the most prominent individuals in the Finnish Black Metal Scene. Cold Prophet is the death / dark ambient project of artist and designer Tuomas Tahvanainen (aka Ritual Nucleart), who also made a guest "cacophony" on Shining's self-titled album for Napalm Records. The Sinister Initiative is the label of Niklas Kvarforth of Shining. Limited second edition to coincide with the release of the album "Intentio Exitus". Double CD in jewelcase with matt-laminate slipcase.
DOROTHY MOSKOWITZ & THE UNITED STATES OF ALCHEMY - 'Songs Of Compassion' CD (13 / Silentes) - £14

"Songs Of Compassion" is a project by The United States Of Alchemy (Dorothy Moskowitz, Francesco Paolo Paladino and Luka Chino Ferrari) that delves into the shades of the night, of psychedelic ballads, of the dreamy filaments of the evanescent matter of para-auditory sensations. A truly alienating chapter in which the illusion of a muffled sound intertwines with shreds of chamber music, the exploration of unusual territories of the mind supported by the magical voice of a gigantic Dorothy Moskowitz who challenges without disfiguring the vocal architectures of Nina Simone and Nico, passing through the torch song roughness of a terminal Scott Walker. Francesco Paladino (also of A.T.R.O.X. / Nosesoul) filters with incredible passion the sounds and harmonies of Moskowitz, managing to be at the same time extremely synthetic (and poetic) and pyrotechnically creative. The architraves of this delicate, timeless glassware are supported by the poetic texts of Luca Chino Ferrari who fights between lacerating and cynical ideas and sudden flutters of oxygenating wings, in a path that, even if on "tiptoe", reverberates in our soul as if it were an earthquake of immense dimensions. Ltd x 300 copies in a sealed folding card envelope which also contains a 28-page 15x15cm booklet.
FABIO ORSI - 'In The Quiet Of A Short Winter, Every Hidden Thing Finds A Voice Sharper Than Memory' LP WHITE (13 / Silentes) - £28

Six touching tracks that, starting from quiet ambient atmospheres, initially soft, tenuous, and crepuscular, gradually seem to soar... ascending towards celestial spaces, revealing ever-wider and brighter landscapes below, ever-more distant horizons, ever-more infinite spaces. Highly evocative progressions, guided by sober and delicate melodies and driving, pulsating bass lines, wonderfully deep (best enjoyed with a good stereo system to truly appreciate them) - the kind that make your stomach churn before you even perceive the exact frequency and harmonic progression, often "set" in sober rhythmic patterns that mark the time, making a sonic journey even more dynamic and compelling. If it doesn't surprise you, it's probably only because you've already had the opportunity to explore and plumb Fabio Orsi's most recent discography, and are already accustomed to the best of what this new wave of distinctly electronic but ambient-inspired music has to offer. Ltd x 100 copies on white vinyl with two artcards (one hand-numbered), and a full-size insert including download code and featuring liner notes by Giulia Dal Vecchio (Hiseka).
MAURIZIO BIANCHI - 'I.A.C.V. Tapes' 4 x CD Set (St.An.Da. / Silentes) - £45

Inspired by the early German electronic vanguard of Tangerine Dream and Conrad Schnitzler, and by the radical provocations of Throbbing Gristle, "I.A.V.C. Tapes" gathers the 4 foundational documents of Maurizio Bianchi's solo career, in chronological order: "Industrial Tape", "Atomique Tape", "Voyeur Tape", and "Cold Tape" [read more about each release here]. Working alone from his hometown Mantuan in 1980, equipped with little more than an analogue synthesiser, a tape machine, and a small bank of effects, 24 year old M.B. closed the chapter of his Sacher-Pelz project and inaugurated the body of work that would place him at the heart of European industrial music. Across roughly 12 months he produced an extraordinary run of self-issued and small-label cassettes that, in their density and consistency, remains among the most singular outpourings of any artist in the post-war avant-garde. Ltd x 66 copies in a black cotton bag, with each of the four albums in its own gatefold digisleeve. The bag itself features a piece of banner canvas secured with metal staples (printed with the M.B. logo and the words I.A.V.C. Tapes). 33 copies have a white banner / black print and 33 copies have a black banner / white print. Each set also includes folded poster and an additional canvas insert of the opposing coloured banner featured on the front.
MERZBOW - 'Paulownia' CD (Sun & Moon Records) - £12

The brand new album by the king of Japanese noise! "Paulownia" is a full-length statement comprising two lengthy compositions that fuse intense electronic manipulation with Merzbow's enduring fascination for natural phenomena. Across both pieces, the album merges organic inspiration and harsh digital process, producing a hypnotic yet confrontational experience. The album's name, drawn from the paulownia tree, hints at Masami Akita's long-standing environmental preoccupations; here, they are rendered less as representational themes and more as evocative textures and forms. The compositions surge with layered feedback, haunting drones, and micro-rhythmic fluctuations, evoking an ambiguous, immersive environment that rewards attentive listening. What distinguishes "Paulownia" is its ability to generate tension and release from the interplay between ferocity and fragility. The music neither settles into a predictable assault nor dissipates into formless ambience; instead, it sustains a meticulously sculpted intensity. As always, Merzbow's commitment to tonality, texture, and structure resists easy classification, maintaining a delicate balance between repetition and change, aggression and atmosphere. Ltd x 360 copies in a digipak.
MURDEROUS VISION - 'Ghosts Of The Soul Long Lost Volume Four: Live 2002-2025' 2 x CD (Live Bait Recording Foundation) - £14.50

For the 4th volume of the "Ghosts Of The Soul Long Lost " series of archival recordings, Stephen Petrus compiled the best moments of Murderous Vision's live recordings. Clocking in at 2.5 hours, these Death Industrial / Dark Ambient performances are, for the most part, post-pandemic, but a few old moments are represented. None of these recordings have been physically released, and all (but a few available digitally) have been heard outside of the room they were captured in. The DCD contains performances that took place in Akron / Columbus / Cleveland (Ohio), Brooklyn (New York), Manchester (New Hampshire), Minneapolis (Minnesota), Los Angeles (California), Pittsburgh (Pennsyvania), Vantaa (Finland), and Limburg (Netherlands). Stephen Petrus with guests TTR (percussion), Lot1113 (synth, electronics, handmade acoustic instruments), and Jeff Curtis (bass guitar). Mastering by Grant Richardson (Gnawed). Ltd x 200 copies in a 6-panel matt ecopak with graphic design by Dan Serbanescu (Alone In The Hollow Garden, Temple Of Clear Light).
RAMONA PONZINI & MAURIZIO BIANCHI - 'Seti Non Tael Tene' CD (St.An.Da. / Silentes) - £12

A sonic device unfolding through stratifications, resonances, and semantic as well as acoustic collisions. Italian Industrial pioneer Maurizio Bianchi chisels soundscapes built from abrasive, material noises, dissonant cadences, and atmospheres both dust-laden and rarefied yet simultaneously dense... sonic debris, distant echoes, reverberations functioning as unstable archives of memory. His practice remains faithful to the grammar of noise in its most concrete form, transforming chaos into a syntax that vibrates and breathes. Upon this fractured yet fertile topography, Ramona Ponzini (Painting Petals On Planet Ghost, Praxinoscope) overlays her voice and texts, which become a dramaturgical substance in their own right. Ponzini develops an unprecedented sonic language based on anagrams, an impossible tongue that comes alive through fractured vowels and recombined consonants. Her Japanese vocal delivery becomes vibration; an acoustic body intertwining with Bianchi's cacophonic textures. A liminal landscape, constructed out of sonic ruins and verbal visionary force, to be inhabited with both attention and surrender. Ltd x 200 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve.
RAMONA PONZINI & MAURIZIO BIANCHI - 'Seti Non Tael Tene' LP CLEAR (St.An.Da. / Silentes) - £28

Ultra limited LP edition of the above release. Ltd x 100 copies on clear vinyl.
REGEN GRAVES / KOLDVOID - 'Omen Of The End' CD (Sun & Moon Records) - £11.50

Regen Graves (Abysmal Grief) and Transylvanian ghost ambient act Koldvoid unite to forge the darkest ambient split album possible. From the abyss, Regen Graves weaves hallucinatory synth incantations in the lineage of the vintage era of dark ambient, while Koldvoid's cinematic dread drifts like a phantom through haunted valleys of dream and decay. Their communion becomes "Omen Of The End", an album that opens a rift where time dissolves and shadows sing. An alliance of abyssal soundscapes of inevitable doom. "A pure collection of rock-solid end-of-the-world sounds... [Regen Graves]' menacing soundscapes are polluted with a light dose of noise, crackling electronic ripples, and intimidating drones... Palpable in an enigmatic, ethereal way, Koldvoid manages to translate impressions of nature and nostalgic emotions into (soothing) dark soundscapes and chilly winter soundscapes in an engaging and refined manner" (Luminous Dash). Digipak.
THE BOOK OF INDUSTRIAL & NOISE FLYERS Book (Heavy Music Archives) - £34

Dive deep into the raw, experimental underground of early Industrial and Noise music with this heavyweight hardback book. A curated visual time-capsule that captures the harsh textures, radical spirit, and DIY culture of underground gigs, experimental events, and the avant-garde performance scene. This volume includes exclusive interviews with Laibach, Skinny Puppy, Ministry, KMFDM, Test Dept, The Legendary Pink Dots, 16 Volt, Frontline Assembly, Die Krupps, Killing Joke, Die Kur, Priest, Skold and more. From xeroxed hand-drawn flyers to cut-and-paste collages, gritty photocopies and xerox aesthetics - each page evokes the urgency, dissonance and creative rebellion that defined the early Industrial / Noise underground. This is a hand-picked archive of authentic flyers from early Industrial, Noise and experimental music shows, presenting a vivid visual narrative of a subculture built on underground venues, DIY ethics, performance art, abrasive sound and the aesthetic grit that defined the era. Designed as a true collector's object and printed to archival standards in a limited edition run. A4 matt hardback colour cover featuring 212 strictly black and white pages. Printed on uncoated art paper in the UK. HEAVY ITEM!
THORSTEN SOLTAU / FEMURL - 'Furafauna' CD (Black Sun Recordings) - £11

An inspiring and varied musical journey that mixes rich instrumental pieces with electronics, vocal and acoustic sound sources. Atmospheric layers build slowly and twist into an intense sound sculpture. The music has a cinematic feel to it with one reviewer calling Soltau "a storyteller with sound". Created over a period of 3 years he sculpted "Furafauna", an electroacoustic sound work dealing with fables and anthropomorphism. It includes two commissioned reworks from Sewicide and Troum, with Ralf Wehowsky contributing sounds sources to a couple of tracks. Thorsten Soltau is a sound designer and composer working in the field of sound design, electroacoustics and New Musik since 2005. He also works under his alter ego name as Femurl. Recent compositions have shown him use elements of new classical music, drone, and electroacoustic passages in a unique and inventive way, including sonic disintegration, conceptualism and dualism. Ltd x 200 copies in a digipak.
UP TO 23 - 'An Apple A Day You Die Anyway' LP 'ROTTEN RED' MARBLED (13 / Silentes) - £28

With an exclusive presentation by Gigi Masin, Up To 23 release their second album, now with an expanded three-member lineup following the permanent addition of Enrico Coniglio (Aqua Dorsa, Lemures, Open To The Sea), alongside founding members Marco Buffetti (Citrus Citrus) and Francesco Fincato. The album draws inspiration from the 1980's, evoking atmospheres reminiscent of sci-fi soundtracks. Partly romantic, partly doom ambient, the work unfolds as a requiem for our planet. Liquid and enveloping atmospheres drift between ambient territories with a distinctly melodic character - explored through treated guitars and synthesizers - and subtly electronic paths traced to the rhythm of patterns built through sequencers and programmed structures. Dramatic and evocative moments emerge throughout this succession of varied yet perfectly integrated and fluid soundscapes, where sounds and progressions combine with ever-shifting solutions, following a descriptive thread that remains consistent as it continuously unravels through encompassing and emotionally engaging textures. The perfect soundtrack to these dark times that Up To 23 want to colour in order to continue to hope, to live without having to survive. Ltd x 100 copies on red / black marbled vinyl with hand-torn translucent printed and hand-numbered obi. The unique package also includes two artcards and a full size insert with download code and liner notes by Giulia Dal Vecchio (Hiseka).

BLACK LEATHER JESUS - 'Yes Sir (Filth Play)' CD (Mask Of The Slave / Sun & Moon Records) - £11

TEMPLE OF CLEAR LIGHT - 'Communion' CD (Live Bait Recording Foundation) - £12

Temple Of Clear Light is Dan Serbanescu (Alone In The Hollow Garden / Tanz Ohne Musik).

An offering to the diversity blooming from the modern world's Aquarian chaos and maelstrom of information, in which grounding in the inner spaces and personal truth is crucial to establish a point of balance and also to refine the ability to find sacred mysticism in the mundane experiences. Originally self-released in July 2025 in an extremely low edition of just 20 CDR copies, this CD-proper edition of 200 copies is packed in a matt-finish digisleeve, created and designed by Dan Serbanescu.

RAPOON - 'Fallen Gods' 2 x LP (Abstrakce Records / B.F.E. Records) - £30

"Fallen Gods" is the third studio album by Rapoon aka Robin Storey, formerly of :zoviet*france:. Originally released in 1994, it emerged amid a prolific early period for the Rapoon project. Building on the haunting industrial ethers of the debut album "Dream Circle" (1992) and the esoteric, rhythmic drone of "Raising Earthly Spirits" (1993), "Fallen Gods" consolidates many of the sounds and disciplines that had shaped Storey's work up to this point, while indicating a newfound, concerted focus on classical Indian instrumentation. A deeply arresting body of work that is arguably considered one of Storey's finest, weaving together indeterminate, sonorous currents of ambient and experimental electronics with magnetic, sprawling passages of acoustic instrumentation, creating a profound work of entrancing, ritualistic minimalism. The results represent a synthesis of myriad ideas, rooted in the duality between modernity and mysticism. Organic elements are subjected to inventive technological processes; primitivism made mechanical - with Tabla-led percussion, the remote tones of what sounds like the Bulbul tarang (Indian banjo), and repeating locked instrumental cycles, vast, atmospheric shadows and echoes are unfurled.
Remastered by Colin Potter (Nurse With Wound / Monos). Ltd x 500 copies in a beautiful matt sleeve with gold print. Already sold out from the label!
TUNGU & TABATA - 'Paranormal Awakening' CD (Fourth Dimension) - £12

Ukrainian sound artist Tungu (Sergiy Senchuk) has been well known for over two decades in the metal and hardcore music. For over ten years now, however, he has been responsible for producing electronic music that draws from improvisation, abstract sound and electroacoustic composition. "Paranormal Awakening" catches him collaborating with a vital mainstay of the Japanese underground, Tabata Mitsuru, who has long forged a solo path with experimental psychedelia in addition to his work in groups such as 20 Guilders, Acid Mothers Temple, Zeni Geva, Green Flames etc, as well as being a founding member of Boredoms. Over the course of these tracks, serrated electronics spiral alongside decidedly old school synth churn, otherworldly sonic dimensions collapsing inwardly, angular jabs, melodic fragments pulled into new shapes and those all-consuming yet atmospheric blankets of sound perfect for bathing the outermost reaches of the mind in. Ltd x 200 copies in a digipak.
S.E.T.I. - 'Believe Night Imagination' CD (Power & Steel / Loki Foundation) - £11.50

The final album from S.E.T.I. - the deep space sound project of Andrew Lagowski. A scientist sits with his head in his hands, still listening for signals that he hopes will rescue the inhabitants of Earth. Why should the other planet people care about us? "Over 30 years ago, I began using the acronym S.E.T.I. as an alternative outlet for my musical projects. Eventually moving into ambient territory with "Knowledge", "The Geometry Of Night" and "Sleep Environments For Interplanetary Travel", amongst numerous titles. Back in 1992 I was happy that it stood for the "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence", however it has become clear that, from my point of view at least, it now represents the "Self Extermination Of Terrestrial Inhabitants". These tracks, which were to be performed at 33YLOKI in Berlin, represent an honest and open-hearted state of affairs as I see them. This performance, not without flaws, was captured live to digital stereo as a way to communicate my presence with you, my friends, despite not being physically with you all" (Andrew Lagowski). Ltd x 200 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve.
ACHERONTAS - 'Vamachara' CD (Zazen Sounds) - £12

Reissue of the third opus by the Drakonian Black Metal coven Acherontas (originally released by Agonia Records, 2011), featuring an unreleased hymn recorded in 2012. Acherontas Manifestation in this recording: VP. Adept - 6 strings of infernal devastation, chants & spells of Draconian sorcery, Kadmos - Spells & Hermetic philosophy, AKHKHAR - 5 strings, Nexion of Disharmony, PARFAXITAS 450 - Swords of Shin upon Martian Towers, C. DOCRE - Skulls & Bones. "Vamachara stretches back to the buried past, regressing to a time when the female archetype was worshipped through the Cult of Vama. The lunar waters shall possess the soul essence with the blood current of Immortality, pushing the Adept towards self-excellence through the imbibition of the nectar of Salvation, the Amrita, through the ordeals of Black Al-Khemy. The vultures on infertile desert grounds cry LA ILAHA ILA ANA, and you shall kneel to drink from the cup of the fornications of the Priestess - either dust or Fire. Enter the Womb of the Black Moon and be reborn. Let the feathers of Abraxas reflect the function of Samsara". 8-panel digipak with new artwork layout by Vision Black. Already sold out from the label!
GEMUNU DE SILVA X GNOSTIC FRONT - 'Industry Standard' COLOURED LP (Tracks Investigations) - £24

"Covert field recordings from within the animal industry, transformed into a dark industrial soundwork - where hidden suffering, machinery, and silence collide. These sounds emerge from hidden places, presenting work that refuses to look away" (Robin Rimbaud - Scanner). "Industry Standard" is an industrial ambient record built from sound gathered during undercover investigations into animal industries. Rooted in experimental and musique concrète practices, the album reworks covert field recordings into dark, immersive compositions. Sounds from hidden places are shaped, layered and transformed, forming a stark industrial soundwork that refuses to look away. Gemunu de Silva is a pioneering investigative filmmaker whose covert work has fuelled global animal protection campaigns for more than three decades. As founder of Tracks Investigations, he has exposed hidden abuses in over 50 countries, confronting the industries that exploit animals for food, fashion, research, and entertainment. Gnostic Front is an experimental musician, filmmaker, activist, and former animal industry investigator. Since 2009, GF has been putting out records, touring, composing soundtracks, doing sound installations, and more, primarily under the name Garbageface. "As musically inventive, startling and captivating as it is disturbing... what you hear could almost be soothing ambient music if it weren't so utterly hellish... We're reminded at times of Hafler Trio and German musique concrète experimenters P16 D4 and, not least, Coil" (Nightshift). Warning: comes with 8-page 12" full-colour booklet with disturbing photography exposing animal cruelty throughout - visit the links for full description of the field recordings used. Available on 3 different colourways: Dust / Cream / Blood, Sky Blue / Cloud White, or Graphite Eco Mix.
TWELVE DEADLY SECONDS - 'Black Flights' CD (Old Europa Cafe) - £12

A new devastating alliance in the Italian Power Electronics / Industrial underground. "Black Flights" marks the first collaboration between: UNCODIFIED (Corrado Altieri of Candor Chasma, New Processean Order, TH26), FUNERALE CLASSICO ITALIANO, and WERTHAM / CALIGULA031. Oppressive patterns, high-octane harsh frequencies, distorted field recordings, and tortured vocals. The album is a cold, methodical document of disaster rendered in harsh audio - an autopsy of aviation tragedies through a power electronics lens. A thematic descent into airborne catastrophe, drawing from a wide range of real-life aerial tragedies: hijackings, mid-air explosions, deadly crashes, and terrorist attacks. Each track offers a different lens into the moment when human control fails, and death takes over the sky. Brace! Brace! Brace! Ltd x 300 copies in a 6-panel digipak, visually enhanced by digital reinterpretations of Walter Molino's catastrophic illustrations for La Domenica del Corriere - famed for their sensationalism.
JUHO TOIVONEN - 'Lapsikuninkaan Fanfaari' LP (Discreet Music) - £22

Juho Toivonen's third album navigates memory's fluid terrain through off-key piano, tape loops, and spectral melodies. Featuring Ramo Sinnemäki's trumpet, this Nordic ambient masterwork recalls William Basinski while exploring childhood fragments and imagined futures. In the expanding universe of contemporary ambient music, few artists navigate the liminal spaces between memory and imagination as sensitively as Juho Toivonen (Free Tala). "Lapsikuninkaan Fanfaari" ("The Child King's Fanfare") is a profound work - simultaneously intimate and expansive - that drifts from forgotten past into uncertain present like remnants of a half-remembered dream. The faded recollection of a melody, what music might sound like when recalled after years of experiencing silence. An invitation into a world where memory is fluid and music exists as ghostly echo of what once was or could have been. Pure Scandinavian melancholy - essential contemporary ambient. Ltd x 500 copies with insert.
