DEREK JARMAN - 'Through The Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping'
LP £20 Adv. OUT 31st MAR

    

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 £9.50 Adv. OUT 6th MAR

  

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.

VA - 'Salò or The 120 Days Of Sodom' -
LP 'BLOOD RED' £23 Adv. - OUT 17th MARCH 2026 | CD £11. - OUT NOW!

  

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 LP / CD will be 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.

2LP 'COLD WHITE' + CD £30 | 2LP BLACK + CD £28 - OUT NOW!

       

We mark a decade since we first released Coil's landmark album 'Backwards', with a special 10 year anniversary vinyl reissue. All editions come in a gatefold matt-laminate sleeve with silver detail.

ALL ORDERS DIRECT FROM THE COLD SPRING STORE / BANDCAMP INCLUDE: THE FIRST EVER RELEASE OF THE FULL 'BACKWARDS DEMOS' (10-track CD), POSTER AND ARTCARD.

After the ground-breaking release of 1990's "Love's Secret Domain" album, Coil were not dormant; the main project was "Backwards", which was started in 1992, updated considerably between 1993 and 1995, and transferred in 1996 to New Orleans, where it was finished in the magic of the Nothing studios of Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). The album saw the fruition of Jhonn Balance's recent vocal coaching, producing haunting, passionate vocals, while reaching new heights.

23 years after its initiation, these tracks have been beautifully preserved by Danny Hyde and are finally available in highest quality audio. Differing substantially from the later, remixed incarnation, "The New Backwards" (2008), "Backwards" contains the original versions of Coil's much-loved tracks; 'A Cold Cell' and 'Fire Of The Mind', which have appeared on various compilations over the years, and are now presented as originally intended.

HERMANN KOPP - 'Der Golem'
CD £11.50 - OUT NOW!

      

Best known for his "Nekromantik" soundtracks (Dir. Jörg Buttgereit), HERMANN KOPP composed and recorded his new soundtrack to the 1920 classic horror film "Der Golem" - a leading example of early German Expressionism by Paul Wegener. First released in 1914, three versions of this material were made, but only the 1920 version is still available.

Using violin, viola and electronic / synthesizer sounds, the new score adds a more contemporary, sometimes noisy edge to the film, whilst not forgetting the esoteric and mysterious components of the Golem myth of Jewish folklore. Set in a ghetto of medieval Prague, the Golem, a clay hulk brought to life by a magic scroll implanted in his chest, is summoned as a protector and avenger.

The soundtrack premiered 7th March 2025 in a Parisian cinema near Place de l'Etoile - by invitation of Vincent Glaume (organiser of the legendary Au-delà du Silence events in France, who first proposed the idea to Kopp). It was also presented at Wroclaw Industrial Festival, Poland in October 2025.

Hermann Kopp started recording songs on tape in the 70's, combining his violin with a Moog imitation in a very personal and minimal approach to music, with lyrics that bordered on surrealism. After a mini-LP in 1981 and his "Pop" LP of 1983, he became the fifth member of experimental synthesizer band Keine Ahnung. After a split, Kopp was contacted by filmmaker Jörg Buttgereit to participate in the scores for "Nekromantik", later in "Der Todesking" and finally in "Nekromantik 2". He has since released a string of incredible works through labels such as Galakthorrö, 4iB Records, One Way Static, and Vinyl On Demand.

ABSOLUTE KEY - 'Ei Meidän Kotimme' CD (Dunkelheit Produktionen) - £12

With "Ei Meidän Kotimme", Absolute Key frontman Antti Klemi (also recording as Circle Of Ouroboros and Valtakunta), displays his impressive skills and feeling for experimental soundscapes. Organic sound sources, such as the usage of scrap metal, have been skillfully arranged to form true compositions of semi-experimental sound. These parts are backed by deep drones and Industrial elements reminiscent of broken machinery. The results are nothing short of amazing and leave no doubt that this is indeed the work of a true visionary. Although not the easiest listening experience imaginable, those open to genuine skill and craft will be sure to appreciate the sounds and arrangements that has that deepness and bite of the old days of experimental Industrial. Ltd x 200 hand-numbered copies in a digipak.

BLACK VAULT - 'Death Obsessed' CD (Dunkelheit Produktionen) - £12

Behold the return of mighty Black Vault from Denmark. After their debut "Hymns To The Great Devourer" the knives have been sharpened. "Death Obsessed" is beautifully murky and Scandinavian old school, evoking feelings of disturbing morbidity and atmospheric bliss at the same time. The album forms a true monolith of atmospheric Death / Black Industrial, which is oftentimes so painfully missed in our plastic age. Danish death enthusiasm reigns supreme as Black Vault shows how it is done. Decay is transformed into old school sonic pulses and haunting waves. In our times of oversaturation and uninspired form, "Death Obsessed" is one of those very few releases that could still be called a landmark. Frequencies of analogue death gone rampant. Mastered by Grant Richardson (Gnawed). Ltd x 200 hand-numbered copies.

LA PORTA ERMETICA - 'Horti Lamiani' CD (Dunkelheit Produktionen) - £12

Featuring the talents of Adriano Vincenti (Cronaca Nera, Macelleria Mobile Di Mezzanotte, Pain Injection, Senketsu No Night Club, Waveshard, Zoloft Evra), Claudio Giammarini (Ain Soph, Circus Joy, Malato), and Devis Granziera (Teatro Satanico, New Processean Order), Italian super group La Porta Ermetica means business. "Horti Lamiani" is a show of strength for those waiting to hear new ritual frequencies. Throbs and bass are mixed with classical instrumentation, evoking an atmosphere one may know from acts like Halo Manash or Trepaneringsritualen. Never losing sight of experimentation and innovation, La Porta Ermetica also utilises unconventional elements like the female singing of Elisa Pambianchi (3+Dead) and a track featuring Maurizio Bianchi on piano to forge something truly original. With majestic sounds, "Horti Lamiani", is true alchemy and a great entry into the book of Ritual Industrial. Ltd x 300 hand-numbered copies.

MURDEROUS VISION - 'Pestilent Black Breath' CD (Dunkelheit Produktionen) - £12

"Pestilent Black Breath" is the brand new album from Death Industrial Noise legend Murderous Vision (Stephen Petrus). From the first second, MV makes clear that that old darkness and spite is still alive and kicking. Blackest seas of vitriol and menace flow through the shadows of the psyche, while tortured vocals and whispers sing of desperation and hate, while walls of night crawl through the cracks of sanity. As one has come to expect from Petrus, the material is somewhat influenced by Dark Ambient but still has a noisy edge, which should please the fans of more dissonant frequencies. "Pestilent Black Breath" is a triumph and another addition to the ever-expanding exquisite catalogue of Murderous Vision. Experience the spirit of the 90's old school death draped in a cloak of modern mastery and dive into these dark parallel worlds. Features guests Pauline Lombardo (C*nting Daughters), and Philosoph (aka Jan Bremen of Cult Of Nihil, Grimoire De Occulte). Mastered by Grant Richardson (Gnawed). Ltd x 200 hand-numbered copies.

NIHIL IMPVLSE - 'The Great Filter' CD (Eighth Tower Records / Unexplained Sounds) - £12

"The Great Filter" is a dark post-industrial exploration of humanity's collision course with its own tools. The album reframes the titular cosmic theory as a metaphor for our self-engineered existential sieve where accelerationism's fervent dogma and apocalyptic fatalism fuse into a nihilistic liturgy. Through seven corrosive movements, Nihil Impvlse conjures the dissonance of a species intoxicated by progress yet paralyzed by its consequences, mistaking collapse for transcendence. Far from a Luddite cry, "The Great Filter" interrogates the paradox of a civilization building its own obsolescence, each track a recursive loop of creation and erasure, until all that remains is the hollowed echo of a "yes" hissed into the void. "From the moment we hear the first notes of opener Trigger Event Mass, we know this is an album that will get under our skin. Nihil Impvlse succeeds in forging new paths within the post-industrial framework" (Luminous Dash). Ltd x 100 copies (CD proper) in a 6-panel digipak.

RUNES ORDER - 'No Future' CD (Eighth Tower Records / Unexplained Sounds) - £12

First released as a cassette in 1993 (Ltd x 30 copies, Hate Prods), this work by Runes Order has become a forerunner, a precursor, as well as a musical (and beyond) reference point for many industrial works whose main pillar is post-apocalyptic themes. It puzzled even the most devoted followers of the Genoese project at the time - which had trodden the path of ritual industrial music, with a keen eye on ancestral past and pagan myths. Hypnotic and circular music had always been the hallmark of the sound born from Claudio Dondo's soul, but "No Future" was the first foray into music of a clearly cosmic origin. As a baptism of this new path, the concept chosen for the work was the nuclear nightmare (in the shadow of the just-concluded Cold War) - a theme that still terrifies, captured from a "day after" perspective. Like a camera wandering and rummaging through the rubble of a now-vanished civilization, the musical suites that compose "No Future" roam through smoky scenarios with a raw and intense crescendo. A cathartic exorcism that still reaffirms the enormous scope of its message. Ltd x 100 copies (CD proper) in a 6-panel digipak.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - '11th Annual Report' CD (Unexplained Sounds) - £12

Now in its eleventh edition, the Unexplained Sounds Group Annual Report brings together 15 outstanding tracks broadcast during The Recognition Test radio program. A sonic map of today's electronic and electroacoustic music, documenting the many directions of current experimentation: from digital architectures to electroacoustic textures, from minimal abstractions to immersive soundscapes. A unique overview of a constantly evolving global scene. Features: Rapoon, Daimon, Dronæment & Aalfang mit Pferdekopf, Von Helfenstein, Christophe Bailleau O'Farrell, BVHZ, Mario Lino Stancati & Marco Magnelli, Farabi Toshiyuki Suzuki, Loo(p)cy, Unearth Noise, Progettosonoro, David Strother, Samarobryn, Castrup & Emerge, and Harrison & Dunkley. Ltd x 100 copies (CD proper) in a 6-panel digipak.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Electric Dead Speak. Music Inspired By The Electronic Voice Phenomenon' CD (Eighth Tower Records / Unexplained Sounds) - £12

This compilation dedicated to the Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) delves into one of the most fascinating and disturbing frontiers of sound and human perception. Across twelve tracks created by artists active in the post-industrial and dark ambient scene, the release investigates the mysterious intersections between technology, death, and the persistence of consciousness. EVP, documented since the 1950's, refers to the capture of inexplicable voices on magnetic tape or digital media, often interpreted as messages from the dead or transmissions from other dimensions. Whether one believes in their paranormal origin or considers them the by-product of noise and human projection, these sounds occupy a zone where the boundaries between science and mysticism, signal and hallucination, are erased. The artists involved translate that uncertainty into a dense fabric of drones, mechanical pulsations, spectral harmonics, and decomposed field recordings. The album functions as an aural séance; a shared act of listening where every sound could be a transmission from elsewhere. In a time when artificial intelligence and algorithmic processes increasingly mediate perception, EVP returns as a powerful metaphor for our relationship with the unknown; the desire to hear what is not meant to be heard. Features: RhaD, Yousef Kawar, Kokum, Sílení, Pnévmma, Mario Lino Stancati, Richard Bégin, Oubys, The Resa, Nerthus, Nikos Sotirelis, and Insectarium. Ltd x 150 copies (CD proper) in a 6-panel digipak.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'The Third Mind. A Sonic Tribute To The Dreamachine' CD (Unexplained Sounds) - £12

The Dreamachine, conceived in 1959 by Brion Gysin in collaboration with the mathematician Ian Sommerville, was an experiment in expanded consciousness. A flickering cylinder of light designed to be viewed with closed eyes, it sought to induce visionary states, to dissolve the boundaries of perception, and to reveal the inner landscapes of the mind. Gysin regarded it as the first work of art meant to be seen with the eyes shut, turning vision inward rather than outward. It was around the aura of the Dreamachine that Gysin's creative alliance with William S. Burroughs deepened. Both artists shared an obsession with breaking down systems of control, linguistic, social, and perceptual. Gysin's discovery of the cut-up technique became one of Burroughs' most radical tools, just as Burroughs' prose amplified Gysin's explorations into altered states and the mechanics of thought. Together, they envisioned what they called The Third Mind: a new consciousness that could emerge from the fusion of two creative intelligences, transcending individuality and generating something other, stranger, and more powerful than either artist alone. Each track on his compilation seeks to channel the spirit of experimentation, psychedelia, and radical perception that defined their work, whether through hypnotic repetition, immersive soundscapes, or altered states of sonic awareness. What emerges is a collective attempt to listen through the ears of The Third Mind itself. Features: Dead Voices on Air, 400 Lonely Things, Rapoon, Browning Mummery, Mark Hjorthoy, Paolo L. Bandera, Mario Lino Stancati, Joel Gilardini, RhaD, Richard Bégin, Nikos Sotirelis, and Tescon Pol. Ltd x 200 copies (CD proper) in a 6-panel digipak.

400 LONELY THINGS - 'Subdivisions' CD (Unexplained Sounds) - £12

What sets 400 Lonely Things apart is its ability to turn seemingly mundane or discarded sonic artifacts into evocative, almost cinematic experiences. The project's work resonates with fans of dark ambient, hauntology, and experimental sound design, offering a gateway into worlds where time has fractured and memories linger like spectral echoes. "Subdivisions", the latest album from 400 Lonely Things, marks a departure from the project's conceptual and thematic approaches of the past. For the first time, there is no overarching narrative, no predefined agenda, just music existing in its purest form. Each track functions like a memory of a memory, a fleeting impression untethered to any specific story or framework. These pieces are nebulous journal entries, capturing the essence of a time, a place, and a mood. 400 Lonely Things employs a variety of occasional instrumentation but primarily uses obscure sampling to weave mostly instrumental melodic collages of melancholic texture and psychedelic drone. These weathered, loop-based introspective forays border on hauntology, dark ambient, experimental, electronic, and plunderphonics. Ltd x 200 copies in a 6-panel matt digipak. Long sold out from the label (last copies from artist).

BLACK VAULT - 'Hymns To The Great Devourer' CD (Dunkelheit Produktionen) - £12

Prepare to be devoured. Black Vault, a formation dedicated to pitch-black Ritual Industrial, present an album steeped in dark occult traditions and sinister antihumanism. This Danish act remains loyal to the virtues of the sub-genre while still maintaining a refreshing take. Minimalistic frequencies of necrophile Death Worship, gurgling demonic vocals and stylish percussive elements blend together in a Maelström of devotion and frenzy. Both the lyrics and the overall feel are a testimony to Black Vault's insights into the forbidden lore and practices shunned and condemned by the general public. "Hymns To The Great Devourer" delivers an atmosphere harking back to the 90's Scandinavian scene - nothing short of crushing. Mastered by Grant Richardson (Gnawed). Ltd x 200 hand-numbered copies.

THE GREAT OLD ONES - 'Lands Of Azathoth' CD (Eighth Tower Records / Unexplained Sounds) - £12

Cinematic Dark Ambient from Raffaele Pezzella (Sonologyst); music to recreate the Lovecraftian universe of the Mythos. Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the centre of all infinity - the boundless daemon-sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time amidst the muffled, maddening beat of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes... H. P. Lovecraft. The Great Old Ones present "Lands of Azathoth" - an exploration into the unfathomable and chaotic core of Lovecraft's mythos. This third instalment, following the albums "Yog-Sothoth" (2022) and "The Mythos of Cthulhu" (2023), summons the enigmatic dread of Azathoth, the Blind Idiot God who lies at the heart of the cosmos. The music of The Great Old Ones is so profoundly lo-fi and shrouded in dense fog that each melodic line feels submerged, as if suspended in a gelatinous substance - trapped within an alien shell, unable to fully emerge or resonate in the ears of the listener, eternally encased in otherworldly isolation. It offers a unique vision steeped in Lovecraft's portrayal of the universe as a realm of endless chaos. 6-panel digipak.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Solaris. Music Inspired By Andrei Tarkowsky's Movie' CD (Eighth Tower Records / Unexplained Sounds) - £12

Few films in the history of cinema have achieved the haunting, meditative power of Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972). This masterpiece of science fiction transcends the genre's typical preoccupation with technology and speculative futures, reaching instead into the depths of human consciousness, memory, and the aching poetry of the unknown. Solaris unfolds slowly, its deliberate pacing inviting viewers to sink into the vast silences and lingering imagery that define Tarkovsky's cinematic language. Long tracking shots through rain-soaked landscapes and the dim corridors of the space station evoke a sense of isolation and introspection. The film's visual and aural textures work in harmony, crafting an atmosphere where memory feels as palpable as the physical environment. This immersive quality is heightened by the sparse yet evocative electronic score by Eduard Artemyev, whose droning soundscapes and abstract compositions mirror the psychological disorientation experienced by the characters. This compilation is a tribute to Tarkovsky's vision, an attempt to translate the enigmatic beauty of Solaris into a sonic experience. Each track, like the planet's ocean, reflects fragments of memory and imagination, evoking both wonder and melancholy. The music contained here draws from the textures of ambient, drone, and experimental electronics, mirroring the film's hypnotic pacing and its exploration of the liminal spaces between waking and dreaming. In these compositions, you may hear the echoes of Kelvin's (the main character) sorrow, the undulating mystery of Solaris, and the endless dance between presence and absence. To immerse oneself in Solaris is to embark on a journey without easy answers. Likewise, this collection of music invites you to drift into the unknown, to embrace the mysteries that lie beneath the surface of sound, and to discover, perhaps, something of your own subconscious reflected back at you. Features: Psychophysicist (Adi Newton of Clock DVA / TAGC), 400 Lonely Things, Kloob. Mario Lino Stancati, Michael Bonaventure, Phoanøgramma, Yousef Kawar, Rauðvik, Sílení, Solaris, Mark Hjorthoy, and Zzoneman. Ltd x 200 copies in a 6-panel matt digipak.

MAKINA GIRGIR - 'Torment' CD (Other Voices Records) - £13
MAKINA GIRGIR - 'Torment' LP (Other Voices Records) - £23

A true classic of modern minimal synth, unavailable for more than a decade. Makina Girgir emerges from the shadows with a soundscape deeply rooted in the early 80's synth-pop and industrial scene. Drawing inspiration from pioneering acts like Cabaret Voltaire, Kraftwerk, Chris & Cosey, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Coil, Talk Talk, Severed Heads, their music is a rich homage to an era that reshaped electronic music. Yet, Makina Girgir doesn't merely replicate the past - they reinterpret it with a modern twist. The band's lyrics delve into profound and universal themes: the human soul, melancholy, the fragility of life, and the inevitability of death. They weave their narratives through the timeless words of literary giants such as Tolstoy, Gorky, Dostoevsky, and Tvardovsky, infusing the music with an intellectual depth. With the band's cold, spoken female vocals delivered in a haunting blend of French, English, and Russian, they paint an immersive, misty, and mysterious sonic world that is captivating and unsettling. Includes the long out of print "The Spell" 5-track EP and a new bonus intro track. CD: Ltd x 300 copies in a digipak. LP: Black vinyl in a full-colour sleeve with lyric sheet and a new bonus intro track. Ltd x 400 copies.
