of extremist love letters this obscure erotique one man orchestra

a spicy cocktail. All shaken not stirred. A punch of its own!

Vinho is the Portuguese word for Wine Boat - the boats that in the
past brought the barrels of wine from the vineyards in Callaecia
(Northern Portugal) on the river Douro to the town of Porto. The
CD features four exclusive songs by the Northern-Portuguese group
Sangre Cavallum and four exclusive songs by the Austrian group
Allerseelen - ancient and traditional but at the same time
brand-new avant-garde music, somewhere between apocalyptic
folklore and psychedelic rock. Poetical songs about wine taken
down rivers with crews of strong men, floating down throats with
crews of sparkling spirits. Inspired by the vineyards that welcome
the sun bringing character to grapes. Then a silent darkness, a
timeless life inside oak barrels turn wine into flavoured blood
for a toast between men and nature. this CD is sold for the price
of a mCD or 7"-single, despite the length of 45 minutes is even
albumlength. Barco do Vinho was originally planed as a split-7",
but the artists were so much inspired by this theme, that in the
end we received a brilliant split-album. although we changed the
medium from 7" to CD, we decided to keep the price of the
originally planed medium.

Transcending Ghost" CD 2009 (Cold Spring)
- 11 euro -
Cold
Spring are proud to announce the debut album from All Hail The
Transcending Ghost - a joint collaboration between Henrik
Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Toroidh, Folkstorm etc) and Tim
Bertilsson (Fear Falls Burning, Switchblade). Together the Swedish
legends have created arguably one of the most haunting
drone-dark-ambient-industrial works in recent years, invoking the
spirits of old Nordvargr, meets the sludge-doom vibe of Tim's
hellish guitar. This has to be the most unsettling work from
Nordvargr, as the man himself states "truly the most scary music I
have recorded". An icy chill down your spine... a cold hand on
your shoulder... you are never alone in the darkness.
ALL MY FAITH LOST... - "In A Sea, In A Lake, In A River... or
in a teardrop" digipack CD 2009 (Infinite Fog Productions) -

was composed and recorded by "all my faith lost .." in its
original line-up (Francis, Federico, Viola and Raffaella) as a
first full album. The songs included in this album are inspired by
spirits and fairies somehow releated to water. There is
Grageth-Anoon, a fairy that can be seen near small lakes, there is
Argea, that comes out from a river to tell your destiny and Anja,
a fairy hidden in a tear. The sound of the album is just more
acoustic than recent releases of the band and almost all songs are
following the verse/chorus/verse rule. Acoustic and Classic
guitars are the main instruments at the base of the compositions,
flutes and delicate synths create, then, light arrangements giving
that ethereal mood that will be more present in the following
releases of the band. The vocal parts are equally divided among
the male one (Federico) and the female ones (Viola and Raffaella)
creating a perfect balance between heavenly/frail and profound/dark
atmospheres. "In a sea, in a lake, in a river ... ... or in a
teardrop" is a beatiful travel in the early steps of "all my faith
lost ..." music.
ALL MY FAITH LOST...

Hours" CD (Cold Meat Industry) - 12 euro - Darkfolk, Dark Ambient / Romantic,
melancholic, seductive. Acoustic, ethereal, lush. Sensual,

create graceful and elegant music for fans of Dark Folk and
Ethereal soundscapes. All My Faith Lost's second album quickly
follows their 2005 debut on Cold Meat Industry. The album is slow
and tranquil, featuring male and female vocals which serve as
instruments contributing to the soundscape of acoustic guitar,
flute, piano, violin, and cello. All My Faith Lost... unlock a
beautifully tender and delicate world, a view into the soul of
delicate seduction.
ALLSEITS - "Hel" CD (Cyclic Law) - 12 euro - ALLSEITS
is the Solo project of the german instrumentalist Nina Kernicke known
from her recent collaboration with German Drone pioneers Troum of
which Nina has also been a recent live member of and her work under
her other alias, ALLSIDES. The Album "Hel“ describes the way into the
underworld, the listener is guided through various stages on the
journey down to Hel, the Norse mythological term for hell and also for
the goddess Hel who is said to keep watch over the underworld. The
journey begins at the foot of Yggdrasil, the world tree, under which
the entry to Hel is hidden. We then ride the river Gjöll, that flows
along the human world before it runs down to Hel. Gjöll is spanned by
the bridge Gjallarbrù which is guarded by Modgudr, a female giant, who
decides who can pass the bridge. Leaving Gjallarbrú behind, the large
dog Garm that sentinels the gate to Hel is waiting and at his side
sits Fjalar, a rooster that will crow to signify the beginning of
Ragnarok, the end of the world. After passing Fjalar Hel is finally
reached. This allegoric tale is expressed diligently by Kernicke with
the use of guitar, bass, drums and skillful sampling creating thick
drony layers of deep and solemn emotions.

The Empty Night" is a fabulous dark album, developing new
influences and sound structures. The songs alternate male (by
Daniele Stefanuto and Alberto Milani) and female vocals (by Viola
Roccagli of All My Faith Lost...), building a bridge between the

album! Digipack, limited to 500 copies.
APHELION - "Lay" digipack CD 2008 (Shadowgraph Records)

Navicon Torture Technologies (with a few stray sperm cells from
Winterkalte), that came out completely malformed and mishapen....

barrage of relentless sound layers combining dark, chaotic noise

plain bedlam. A great new discovery!

ARDITI - "Omne Ensis Impera" Digipack CD 2008
(Equilibrium Music) -
12 euro -
The highly
anticipated new album by the Swedish duo is finally upon us, under
the title “Omne Ensis Impera” . The sense of determination that
echoes through their music and which has brought them to the
forefront of Martial / Industrial Neo-Classical scene has stayed
untouched, evoking the sense of duty and commitment that Italy’s
WWI elite storm troops, from which the name Arditi originated,
were known for.
“Omne Ensis Impera” introduces an additional strength to Arditi’s
compositions - epic orchestral loops and thunderous percussions
are granted a more prominent role, stirring the damp and
suffocating ambiance that the duo have always produced so well
with their use of ominous synths, obscure speeches and mesmerizing
narrations. The CD version is presented in a deluxe glossy Digipak,
with embossed artwork.
ARDITI - "Destiny of Iron" 7' (Equilibrium Music)

euro
- "Destiny
of Iron" presents 2 new tracks by Arditi, exclusive to this
release, in their unique brand of obscure and suffocating
Militaristic ambiance. Limited edition of 500 copies, pressed in
high-quality heavy vinyl. The title track brings sluggish humming
horns and ominous strings, crushed under heavy pounding
percussions, all building into an hypnotic orchestral march that
serves as backdrop to obscure speeches and inflamed combat
commands. "Struggle for Victory", on the other hand, draws into
the music a hazier ambiance, as if spawned out of a waking dream
filled with battlefield memories haunted by turgid battlefield
memories haunted by turgid orchestrations washing over faraway
chants.
ASHRAM - "Shining Silver Skies" Digipak CD 2006 (Equilibrium Music)
- 12 euro - The Neo-Classical style that acts as a foundation
to Ashram’s music is usually built upon the moods of pianist Luigi
Rubino, who sets a black and white cinematographic mannerism to the
songs, hereby uplifted by violinist Edo Notarloberti’s arrangements, a
performer well-known from various previous collaborations with other
Napolitan projects, and whose soaring violin phrases confer a moving
brilliance and distinct character to the project. Sergio Panarella,
the group’s singer endowed with a beautiful crooning voice, adds the
lighter tones to Ashram’s creations, by contributing also with a
couple of acoustic guitar-based mellower Folk ballads now and again.
ASPECTEE
– "Morben"digipack CD
2009 (First Fallen Star)
- 11 euro - It's as if you are
staring into the cold night sky. An infinite expanse of darkness,
a void, punctuated only here and there with points of shining
light. What little light exists fluctuates, flutters, dances ever
so faintly, though it remains forever dominated by a blackened
backdrop. Influenced by the human condition and the human
experience, by humanity's fortune and misfortune, the soundscapes
of "Morben" are varied, ranging from ambient to dark ambient to
experimental, though the sounds remain forever blackened, and the
moods heavy. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

Universe" (1999, Yantra Atmospheres) from the project of Peter
Andersson (Raison D'Etre, Necrophorus, Stratvm Terror). This album
showcases Peter's dissection of the sky, birthing massive,
geometrically perfect sonic diversions, burnished metal dreams and
pristine sonic caresses that reconfigure sound into smooth
surfaces. To counterbalance the exactness of the sonic development,
light rhythms emerge, huge slabs of disrupting tones puncture...
The clarity of production and meticulous restructuring of the
known with the unknown only heightens this alluring venture into
the cavernous realm of space. Intoxicating, mind-altering sound
manipulations that inspire one's imagination with conflicting
emotional responses at all times. Ltd x 1000 copies with 3 bonus
tracks taken from the "Nebulous" boxset bonus disc (Essence Music).

tones, self-transforming vocal work accompanied with carefully
chosen oscillating tunes and a variety of percussive patterns
utilising artefacts crafted according to the methods of
traditional metallurgia, as well as real-time tape operations.

towards History. And we must carry our own cross and pass our own

DEATH NOW -
"Where
Dreams Come True"digipack CD (Cold
Meat Industry) - 13 euro -The
assault lasted for just over sixty agonizing minutes, intimidation
of power the only lubrication. Sometimes slow and accompanied by
whispered threats, other times hard and gratuitously painful.
Always overbearing and unrelenting. Isn't that what LOVE is
supposed to feel like? Moans of pleasure in the throes of
violation. The amplification of obsession within an ongoing "abusive"
relationship. The evidence of trauma conveniently packaged and
presented as commodity. Feel dirty and ashamed over and over again.
Remember, you're a victim, not a survivor. On this special
occasion the personell of BDN was Roger Karmanik and Proiekt Hat.
Your trauma comes in packed in a deliciously foilprinted 4-panel
digipak. Limited to only 1000 copies!

ABSTRACTIVE NOISE - "Dychotomia"
CDR 2008 (No Angels Prod.) - 6 euro -It is a
specific tribute to Contradictions, but also for Differences, that
force world to move, give course for time, and form space. To
eternal antagonisms, which are one universal unity in fact.

participating projects. Buben – presents music built on massive
attack of powerful beats and high paces, and on the other side
there is young and promising Greek project Abstractive Noise with
more quiet, sober, but surprising dark ambient. Both creations,
despite of obvious differences, fits very well into experimental
electronics aesthetics and have fundamental common elements, which
attentive listener will recognize for sure. We want to invite you
to take a look and listen to dichotomy of presented world of
sounds.
Packaging is non-typical - profi printed CDR in hard foil envelope

psychedelia and automatic writing. Artistic forms manifest

within the dark ambient scene, this time in the form of French act
Collapsar. With their debut CD, “Beyond The Event Horizon”

COLLOQUIO – "Si
muove e ride"
CD
(Eibon Records) –
11 euro -
50'35'' / Dark wave
-
Nobody sounds and sings the inadequacy of this life like Gianni
does. There's something more than mere "music" in his records and
there's more than simple "poetry" in his words. I feel I could
write for hours about how touching, beautiful and moving
COLLOQUIO's music is, but it is frankly useless. Those who are
aware of the stature of this band, will greatly enjoy. The other
ones, well........
COMPULSIVE SHOPPING DISORDER - "In The Cube" digipack CD
(Rage in Eden)
- 11 euro - Bold and original arrangements, dense and
oppresive electronic sounds, aggressive industrial phrases,
melancholic melodies and cold, impassive voice. Where the darkness
and music become to one, COMPULSIVE SHOPPING DISORDER is alone
with you. This is a testimony filled with gloomy romanticism of
Kirlian Camera, Coil's sonic sadness and energetic clamour of
Skinny Puppy. Listen on minimal level, at night's solitude. 7
tracks, 52 minutes, 3-pannel digipack.

Rec.) - 11 euro - The latest volume of Contagious Orgasm's
frequent collaborations, this time with prolific German act
Flutwacht. "Inspection of 1 hour" starts off very scraping, noisy
and harsh, and evolves slowly towards more drone-oriented and
calmer material. It's only towards the last tracks that the poetic
side of Contagious Orgasm shows up, when some charming piano lines
provide the core of the collaboration. One of the noisiest and
less collage-based release by C.O. in some years, which still
manages to keep their usual quality level. Ltd x 300 copies in a
sealed card sleeve.

album "8 19". Over the past 3 years this Swedish artist has been
toiling away, creating a new black ambient / death noise
masterpiece and "Ramblack" is the result. Cloaked in a more raw
and morbid sound then its predecessor, this album truly changes
one's perspective of audial darkness. This analogue beast of an
album layers the tonal prayers of demons and the distorted cries
of angels, sickness and depravity. True Death Electronics. The
soundtrack to your end. "Ramblack" features guest vocals from
Norwegian Black Metal legend
Maniac (Skitliv, ex-Mayhem), whose vocal approach on the
song 'Forakt' shows the full range of his capacity. Truly one of

a remix album) repeats how deeply rooted in 90's dark EBM this
slovekian band is. Save for a few pads here and there, this is a
very nostalgic CD that should appeal to all of you who still
remember fondly the days of Yelworc, Zoth Ommog & co: 4/4 beats,
über distorted voice, and the most goth / emo atmosphere you can
think of. Black clad people, this one's for you, and just for you.

Oblivion", "Time Lost in Oblivion" is a completely new album with

music replete of feelings and deep pain … Feel how the crying of a
cold war, legacy of the past, stir itself in the tops of
destruction of our last days, where the dreams are just a legend
and the death is a dark reality … Industrial dark ambient for fans

DESIDERII MARGINIS - "Years Lend a Golden Charm" digipack CD
2009 (Eternal Pride) - 11 euro - To gain a deeper
understanding of what is, it is necessary to examine what was – to
go to the sources and the origins. With the emergence of this
brand new offering by Desiderii Marginis, ‘Years Lend a Golden
Charm’ we are invited to experience the very birth of what is now
a well established and worldwide recognised project within the
dark-ambient industrial scene. The contents of the new album is
made up of some 73 minutes of material from the first three
tapereleases from 1993. Highly sought after by collectors but only
available in a mere dozen of handmade copies, these songs are now
finally made available to a greater audience. When you listen to
the music with the knowledge that hindsight brings - it is obvious
that these are the roots and the foundations, not only of the
first full length album ‘Songs Over Ruins’, but of every succesive
release up to the latest ‘Seven Sorrows’. In 1993 there was no set
course, no long term plan – and still, maybe it couldn’t have
turned out any other way?
DIARY OF DREAMS - "If"
CD 2009

simple but expressive title “(if)” – subtitled ‘the memento Ritual

album, as the band recently announced – each of the 12 songs on
this ninth studio album is telling its very own story. Expect
otherworldly sounds of extraordinary intensity on this eagerly
awaited all new album by one of the most successful German Dark
Electro-Pop acts! With (if), Diary of Dreams open a new chapter of
their ‘Dream Diary' and take the listener to a world full of
tender melodies. The compositions on (If) seem to be even deeper
and more personal than ever, the charismatic voice of frontman
Adrian Hates appears even more varied and the sound of this new
opus reaches new levels of versatility. The stylistic spectrum
embraces all sound colours for which Diary of Dreams are acclaimed
and respected for, but at the same time (If) succeeds to surprise
with loads of New and Fresh influences and sonorities! Definitely

The second full length piece of work by

–5 euro

release MOONFLOWER. The tracks on this CD are actually unreleased
retrospective and the material, which appeared on this CD leaves
in the listeners the phases where Disharmony keeps moving.
Rhythmical, hybrid structures. Atmospherical spaces and film moods
meet on each step. Typical destructive vocals in Ryby´s
interpretation give more agressive face of this one side
harmonical and on the contrary dark and destructive walk in
electronic underground.

ECHO WEST –
"In Pop We Trust"
CD
(Dark Vinyl)
- 12 euro - On their new album, this German outfit is moving into
more melodic and partly even danceable minimal electro songs, away
from industrial to more poppy tracks. ?In pop we trust? thus is
comparable to bands such as RORSCHACH GARDEN or BAKTERIELLE
INFEKTION, that belong to the spearheads of the ever rising German
minimal Electro- (or ?Modern Pop-/Angst Pop-?) scene, that takes
inspiration from the 8oies. ECHO WEST presented their new album at
WGT2006 and the new songs were welcomed extremely well!
EIDVLON - "Idolatriae" digipack CD (Malignant Rec.) -
11 euro - With the release of Eidvlon's (Italy) debut CD
Idolatriae, Malignant are pleased to welcome another new project
into the cozy confines of their slowly expanding roster. 7 tracks
of ultra bleak, abstract atmospheres, with sounds and textures
that seem to seep from catacomb walls and come slithering out of
subterranean chambers. Certainly, this can be classified as a dark
ambient record, but at its core, it's more than just that simple
classification. There's a gritty, more jagged edge here, with
tetonic shifts, deep rumblings, and crackling, climatic squalls
buried under a bed of ghostly reverb and haunting tonal resonance.
Fits in nicely with past Malignant releases such as R|A|A|N's 'The
Nacrasti', Heid's 'Arktogaa', and even Caul's 'Crucible' CD. In 6
panel digipak.
EHE - "The last try to survive immortality" CDR 2008 (Suggestion
Records) -
3 euro
- Ltd.-edition 60 copies, After a long
time of silence here comes a new album from the german Harshnoise
project EHE. The sound is created by different sources, e.g. a
broken guitar pick-up, mutated by a few effectpedals. The music is
a strong, impenetrable harshnoisewall in which there are permanent
accumulations, changes or extiktions of structures. These quick
changes create a speed effect and the whole sound appears as Speed
Harshnoise.
ELDAR
- "Sapere
Aude"
digipack CD (Cold Meat Industry)-
12 euro -ELDAR is a
Barcelona-based project created in 2004 by Marc Merinee and Merce
Spica, with a few obscure and limited releases in the past, Cold
Meat Industry are pleased to present a new chapter in the bands
history, a chapter certain to put ELDAR on the Dark-Ambient /
Martial map. On this new album, entitled SAPERE AUDE, each track
has been created in a unique collaboration with close related
bands and projects, each introducing new instruments, melodies and
voices - all treated and strongly bound together by the special
ELDAR-sound to an epic and entralling listening. This is classic
old-school CMI music, in the vein of Archon Satani, early Raison
d'être; low brooding analog industrial sounds and voices,
thunderous percussion with a densed martial bombast.
ELISABETHA - "Über das Prinzip der Unschuld" CD 2007 (Beverina
Prod.) -
5 euro
-Is there a desire to live a life after
you awoke? Do you wish to flee? Are you strong enough to be your
dream? Are you ready to give up what you think is reality? Can you

EMIT's doppelganger Unknown I. "ABORTIONS" consists of 16 tracks
which make up over 63 minutes of dark ambient experiments...past
compositions and newer passages of black ambience...harbingers of

with past rituals...dust covered hallways littered with the bones
of fear. These are the lost relics and newly created moans of EMIT.

EXPERIMENTS IN DARKNESS - "From The Heart" digipack CD (Midnight
Productions) - 11 euro - Experiments in Darkness (Piette / Dead Man's
Hill) presents it's 2nd release. On this album you can hear the
soundtrack of a man who became more and more introvert against the
entire world. A man who got buried under so many problems and
sorrows, with no single place where he can lose his grief. And
this entire expression of sorrow is accompanied by a background of
oppressive neoclassical music. A must have for people who can find
(and cure) themselves into music which represents total sorrow and
neo-romanticism. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.
..:: F ::..
FALSE MIRROR - "North" CD
(Thonar Records)
- 11 euro -
North is the second full-length album from False Mirror. Many of
the techniques, methods and effects I developed during the
production of 'Chronostatic Scenes' were applied. Whereas
'Chronostatic Scenes' dealt with a dreamscape athmosphere, 'North'
is much colder and darker. He was always impressed by arctic
surroundings and the early expeditions to the poles. This is the
mood of the album, like an arctic expedition somewhere into
nowhere.
FARYUS & ROBERT RICH - "Zerkalo" CD (Faria Records)
- 11 euro -
Tangential glimpses remotely echoed, untethered from touch. No
time nor place, no past nor future, internal, external. Sculpting
from energy, clouded motion vaguely slipping. Evanescent vibration,
without meaning apart from its own open secret.

With influences from
ambient, classical music, Tangerine Dream, Yann Tiersen and...
Burzum (!) Newton Schner, the only man behind Feuerberg managed to
create a very dreamy-like & atmospheric music, which is balancing
somewhere between melancholy, nostalgia and… hope. With use of
“old school” analogue keyboards, real drums, electro-acoustic
guitar, piano he created a one hour album which as the title
says is somewhere “between vastness and void”. Special A5/DVD case
with an insert and professionaly manufactured CDr. Limited to 125
handnumbered copies.
FIRE IN THE HEAD – "Meditate
/ mutilate"
CD
(Eibon Records) –
11 euro -
44’23” / Power Noise - The straightjacket has been removed, the
medication has worn off and the delusions have intensified.
F/I/T/H has returned to spread the poison with
“Meditate/Mutilate”, a schizophrenic and volatile mix of seething,
harsh electronics, dark ambience and tortured vocals. From the
blackest depths of neurosis to the apex of unrestrained psychosis,
the ten tracks on this cd hone F/I/T/H’s dual-edged blade to
perfection. The assault has just begun. There's a world out
there. Prepare to
bleed.
FIRST LAW - "Terrorforming" CD (Loki Fundation)
-
SOLD OUT!! - The 6th
full-length album of FIRST LAW is setting real moments of
artificial and creative substance. Intermittent bass and
percussive elements as well as thrilling sound structures arrange
a wide aural spectrum from ambient to drones through analogue
modulations to complex compositions with outstanding vocals on
top. Conceptually don't get it wrong, this album is not about
religious airheads getting their way. This is not about the threat
terrorist attacks impose on any of us, nor has it the intention to
proliferate violence as a viable way to change the status quo.
FIRST LAW - "Chaos Structure" CD (Loki Foundation) -
SOLD OUT!!
- The 5th full-time album of First Law surprises once again with a
huge amount of stylistic variety and proofs that he is the

best! Absolutely recommended!
FIRST LAW - "Refusal as Attitude" CD (Loki Foundation) -
11 euro - With the third CD First Law presents once again an outstanding
sound journey into the Inner Cinema. Soundstructures of unusual
beauty and depth are enriched with psychedelic effects and precise
rhythms to unfold an atmosphere in that the spatial concept of the
CD creates its effect. Multi-layered fragments of speech are
connected with sound and the infinite analog modulations and
reaches levels, which lie expressed deeply embodied within the
listeners. “Refusal As Attitude” commences where the black-silver
shivering of “Velochrome” ended and convinces by his
self-contained compact, which holds an infinite variation of
interpretations
FIRST LAW - "Velochrome" CD (Loki Foundation) -
11 euro - The second full length album is the continuation of the Velochrome
recordings that have been started with the Saturn Gnosis
contribution of First Law. Voices from the edge of hearing,
whispering ambient soundscapes and symphonielements building deep
organic compositions that blend beautifully into a grand enigmatic
atmosphere of winding darkness blowing through controlled cycles.
Music for connoisseurs!

he was looking for: old recordings from 1997 and 1998, all
previously unreleased! Now, after more than 10 years, these old
recordings see the the light (?) of day. This is all harsh gritty
oldschool Folkstorm (the one we like the more !), served up fresh

Vision) - 12 euro - Wide and diverse selection of several
short pieces, composed by this prolific spanish musician during
the last two years. It features quite a variety of sonic materials,

cohesive and strong work, very characteristic and intense.
FREIBAND - "Replicas" CD (Monochrome Vision)
- 10 euro - Highly conceptual project that combines features
of remix, recycling and plagiarism – the re-interpretation of
classic album by Asmus Tietchens “Daseinsverfehlung”. All what can
be heard on this CD, as always in case of Frans de Waard framework,
is made from music that already existed: every sound, word in
titles and even the cover picture – all is just processing and
manipulation techniques.
..:: G ::..
G.S. - "Metafizyka" CD (Ars Benevola Mater)
- 10 euro
- GS’s
sound evokes the elemental completion of the symbol together with
the mechanical and almost unconscious gesture of the ritual. This
is the ideal place for a music which is obsessive in its forms,
rarified and nebulous in its emanations. The six tracks which
coldly paint the soundpath evoked by GS offer a series of
industrial soundscapes in a sacred and tormented key, where the
inviolable dark of an ancient nave meet the grieving silence of an
abandoned industrial area. Lim. ed. 545 numered copies is deluxe
package. / G.S. is side project HOROLOGIUM/

filth at the bottom of the barrel..." CDr 2009 (Mask of the

in normal slim-jewel case limited to 60 copies.
GELSOMINA / NO XIVIC - "Furnace" CD (Some Place Else)
- 11 euro -Furnace is an unlikely yet strangely natural union of No
Xivic, renowned sculptor of dark electro-acoustic soundscapes, and
Gelsomina, Finland's most prolific harsh noise artist. The title
track, also the main piece on the album, is a live collaboration
recorded in late 2006, a grand opus of psychedelic noise with a
peculiar 'kraut' flavour! In addition to this, both artists
created exclusive tracks on their own to complete the album. In
total, Furnace is a 44-minute blast of fire, brimstone and
hazardous electric currents, and thus a fine completion of Some
Place Else's tenth year of activity.
GELSOMINA / SQUAMATA "Junkyard Behemoth" CD 300 copies
(Freak Animal Rec.)
- 11 euro -
Finnish harsh noise at its best!!! Full of energy, scrapmetal,
feedback,... I dare to say best material in the harsh noise
category and recommended to any noise freak.
GELSOMINA "Cronenberg / Dead Music Live" CD 200 copies
(Freak Animal Rec.)
- 11 euro -
Finnish noise.
Cronenberg was originally released as 3"CDr done only 50 copies.

Freak Animal decided to make real CD release, accompanied with
Gelsomina's 2nd live assault, when they were warming up for
Deutsch Nepal in Turku. Total playingtime around 45 minutes. Harsh
and painful noise meets more p.e. orientated live assault with a
lot of feedback and vocals. Edition of 200 handnumbered copies.

gloom, Primordial Resonance is a voyage only limited by the
imagination of the listener.
