The album which
presents only original extraterrestrial sounds captured from

scientific and meteorological satellites, radio signals and the
space itself. No electronic and acoustic instruments are used in recordings
of this album. Every track is created with original space sounds
only slightly enriched
with effects or sounds processors just to improve the quality of
sound. All that makes this album very unique.

Project "VOICES OF
THE COSMOS" is an educational-artistic initiative created by two
artists from Kujawsko-Pomorskie: Rafał Iwański (X-NAVI:ET) and
Wojciech Zięba (ELECTRIC URANUS). Both of them have lot of
experience in creating experimental and electroacoustic music. In
recordings of this album original extraterrestrial sounds captured
from space by radio-telescopes (pulsars), sounds from space
missions and the space itself. |
|
| |
Every artists
created 3 tracks that form the 40 minutes album. Instrumental
tracks played and recorded in rhythm with tones of "space sounds",
are made manually with use of electronic and acoustic instruments.
All that makes this project very unique. It is the only type of it
in Poland. The project had also gain reputation in science circles.
"VOICES OF THE COSMOS" is the electroacoustic dark ambient (although
it should not be genered this way), it's music that in 100% the
title itself explains - the voices of cosmos. We watch the sky and
the stars, we know many photos of heavenly bodies, other galaxies.
All that fascinates us, is beautiful and colorful. But those are
not environments kind to us. They are terrifying, cold or
extremely hot places. And this how this album is. It can take you
out there but it can scare you too. |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
As a bonus two
tracks are added in video version, made with exclusive video-art
by Chris Konky. The "VOICES OF THE COSMOS" is released by Beast Of
Prey and Eter Records in a three panel digipack. |

Here it is! The
newest work of A.A.Destroyer has came to be, "Evil Angel" is an
album touching the deepest emotion in human being, tender, subtle,
uneasy. PARANOIA INDUCTA has gain a lot of respect for it's
earlier albums and it's one of the most valuable projects on

lot to say, as it is one of the most personal albums of PARANOIA

Prey. With great pride and joy we present this album to the world! |

On "Evil Angel" we

whispers and voices... - and fading in distance. Big dose of
incredible industrial sounds, dying machines that represent

LEGENDARNE ZĄBKI -
"1984–1985" CD special box (Archive Series / Requiem) Legendarne
Ząbki to zapis sesji nagraniowych efemerycznych formacji, które w
połowie lat 80-tych tworzyli Jacek Alka, Bolesław Błaszczyk,
Ryszard Wojciul i Robert Wyszyński, oraz goście z warszawskiej
Pragi i z podwarszawskich Ząbęk. Na materię brzmieniową formacji
składają się m.in.: perkusja (także automatyczna – radziecka),
ksylofon, instrumenty dęte, wiolonczela, gitara basowa, polskie
organy elektryczne, zabawki, sporadyczne taśmowe podkłady i
spontaniczne akcje wokalne. Przed włączeniem zapisu muzycy niemal
niczego nie ustalają, ale grając przeważnie dbają o zwartą formę i
wyrazistość brzmienia. Starają się przy tym uwiecznić swe
działania w możliwie profesjonalny sposób. Wykreowane dźwiękowe
historie wytrzymały próbę czasu i radykalnie odcinają się na tle
tego co najczęściej opatruje się pojęciem jazzowej czy rockowej
ekstremy. |

X-NAVI:ET - "Soundtracks
for the Dying Moments" LP 2012 (Istant Classic) Rafał Iwański
a.k.a. X-NAVI:ET is a percussionist, wind-instrument player and
electronic sound artist, known from his main outfit HATI.
Performing as X-NAVI:ET, he presents
electroacoustic-space-drone-music, a unique combination of analog
electronic sound generators and filter machines with acoustic
instruments and field/found recordings. "Soundtracks for the Dying
Moments" is the title of his full-length solo debut album,
released on limited to 250 copies vinyl via Instant Classic.
„X-NAVI:ET is based on analogue modified electric and acoustic
instruments. I’m talking about small percussive instruments,
medium-sized gongs, Chinese and Arabic clarinets and found objects”
– explains Iwański.
"Soundtracks for the
Dying Moments" was carefully composed with the attention towards
every small detail. It resembles a kind of musical storytelling. „It
was crucial to create it as a story with memorable scenes,
something like a movie to listen to. I spent a lot of time trying
to figure out the one and only logic of the sequences-compositions.
I’m glad that people are coming back to traditional records and
magnetic tapes which is a more holistic way of listening”. The
album is released in a limited run of only 250 copies. 140gr LP is
packed in handmade covers via a Cracow, Poland based indie label
Instant Classic. |

PETER BJÄRGÖ - "The
Architecture Of Melancholy" digipack CD (Cyclic Law)
Peter Bjärgö, the man behind the now legendary groups ARCANA and
SOPHIA is back with his second solo album. On his first solo
release "A wave of Bitterness", we got a glimpse into the mind of
a thoughtful person. Now this new release, "The Architecture Of
Melancholy", we are sent onto a journey to the darkest depths of
Peter's mind and thoughts. Melancholy was once a disease, a mental
statement of chronic depression, we are now facing this illness
again around the world and this album is a real journey with the
melancholic mind. Titles like Bitteresque, Apathy and The Death Of
Our Sun give us an idea of the aural voyage ahead. The delicate
blend of soft guitars, engulfing dark ambient and the sheer power
of Peter's voice make this album a shining diamond among stones.
Hope is all that is left...

THERRADAMEON -
"Den Mørke Munnens Språk" CD (Cyclic Law) "Den mørke munnens
språk", translating to "Language of the dark mouth" is a new aural
venture from Hærleif Langas (Northaunt), and definitely his most
massive and ominous dark ambient project to date. Designed to open
beneath you as a trapdoor, the 4 mammoth tracks on this first
album are a reflection of a more sinister side of the psyche made
from deep ambient structures and constantly evolving drones.
Atmospheric and slowly moving it taps into the hidden maelstrom of
the mind.

KARJALAN SISSIT -
"Karjalan Sissit" CD (Cyclic Law)
The 2001 debut album by the legendary Karjalan Sissit, originally
released on Cold Spring, is now available again with completely
redesigned artwork and 2 additional tracks. This gem laid the
foundations of Karjalan's unique sound of massive orchestral
arrangements and pounding percussion. A bombastic yet solemn album
that laid the ground for a whole scene with it's hard hitting
Martial / Industrial anthems. We're honored to present once again
this lost classic celebrating Karjalan Sissit's 10th year
anniversary.

KARJALAN SISSIT -
"Miserere" CD (Cyclic Law) Re issue of the second album by
Karjalan Sissit, originally release in 2002 on CMI, with
completely redesigned artwork and 2 additional tracks. A close
follow up to their 2001 self tilted debut. Blending unsettling
string arrangements and ambient passages with thundering
percussion and screeching vocal passages, this second installment
in the Karjalan Sissit discography definitely deserves to be made
available again and be rediscovered. Hate, humor and
disintegration really have established themselves as the essential
elements fueling this unique project.

KARJALAN SISSIT -
"Fucking Whore Society" CD (Cyclic Law) At last, Karjalan
Sissit return after 4 years of relative silence with their most
obscure and harshest work ever. Fucking whore society is an anger
and Vodka fueled bombastic opus inspired by the world's
psychopathic state. A revolt against the cruel and sickly ways of
today’s society and a visceral and personal statement denouncing
betrayal. Karjalan Sissit have masterfully expanded their
signature sound with dense ambient passages and unsettling vocals
all combined with their intensely unique orchestral passages,
presenting us their best and most intense work yet. Produced by
Peter Bjärgö (Arcana / Sophia) Edition of 2000 copies In A5

KARJALAN SISSIT -
"Karjalasta Kajahtaa" CD (Cyclic Law) The Finnish pioneer is
back from the degenerated and alcoholized Swedish ghetto of
Eskilstuna. 3rd full lenght from Markus Pesonen who now dove
deeper into total Melancholy, Anti socialism, Bitterness,
Disintegration and Alcoholism. Filled with what has defined
KARJALAN SISSIT's sound thus far; Bombastic outbursts of Neo
classical arrangements entwined in traditional Finnish Humppa and
deep industrial sonorities. The songs were this time fiercly
enhanced with some added vocals giving the whole album a much more
agressive touch. Again produced by Peter Bjärgö at Erebus Odora,
this new album definitely stands above it's predecessors. First

NEW RISEN THRONE
- "Loneliness Of Hidden Structures" CD (Cyclic Law)
New full length album by Italy's New Risen Throne which marks a
welcomed return to Cyclic Law. "Loneliness Of Hidden Structures"
is the latest chapter of a series that began with "Whispers Of The
Approaching Wastefulness" (Cyclic Law 2007) and continued on with
"Crossing The Withered Regions" (Cold Meat Industry 2009). The
first of this series is explained as the annunciation of the end,
while the second part was expressing the advent of this end. Now
this third chapter speaks of rebirth. Within the caves and ruins
left by the destruction, there begins to form the first
foundations and structures of a reconstruction that is in turn in
constant evolution. The album's track listing is structurally
organized in order to evoke that evolution:
1. The echoes of the end
that travel through the empty regions ("Into Lungs declining
structures", "Echoes from the loss")
2. New forms listening to the "silence" of a new world ("Loneliness",
"New Risen Throne", "Lands filled with silence and grief")
3. Structures evolving and coming out from the shadows ("A vision
of the hidden", "Breath of growing structures")
Filled with New Risen Throne's now trademark sound of deep
cavernous drones, processed voices and percussive moments, this
new album is a superb follow up to his now impressive discography.
Features exclusive remixes by Nordvargr and Northaunt. Edition of
1000 copies. Enhanced CD with a special Video Clip of the track
New Risen Throne (I), comes in a 4 panel A5 folder. 9 Tracks.

VORTEX - "Rockdrill"
CD (Cyclic Law) Vortex is a German sound art project from :Golgotha:
and Aeterna member Marcus Stiglegger, challenging the boundaries
of ritual and dark ambient music. After the critically acclaimed
debut album "Phanopoeia" (2008) out on Tesco Organization and the
media book/soundtrack "Silence" (:Ikonen: media 2009), the new
full length album ‘Rockdrill’ continues on the same path and
mobilizes acoustic instruments (guitar, percussion, piano), voice,
electronics and samples to create a unique and very epic sound
monument in 11 parts. Vortex is named after a modernist British
art movement of the 1920s called Vorticism, headed by Ezra Pound
and Wyndham Lewis. The new album ‘Rockdrill’ is especially
inspired by a sculpture called ‘Rock Drill’by the Vorticist artist
Sir Jacob Epstein (1880-1959). It was built according to his
sketches in 1913-14 to symbolize 'the terrible Frankenstein's
monster we have made ourselves into'. The sculpture had a huge
influence on the Vorticist movement and inspired several cantos by
Ezra Pound (LXXXV–XCV, Section: Rock-Drill, 1956). It was
destroyed during the war and cast again in bronze in 1962. Epstein
himself did not like the sculpture and decided to "save" only a
part of the actual figure - not the rock drill itself. The concept
of this album is to reconstruct the history, mood and allegory of
this piece of sculptural art as well as its impact on modern art
movements. A 12 page booklet adds rare visual documents to the
whole.‘Rockdrill’ by Vortex is consciously caught between archaic
and modern energies, between history and present. This truly
complex album transcends the frontiers of ambient soundscapes in
order to awake a nearly forgotten sense of beauty and grace within
modernist avant-garde by using twisted rhythm patterns, pounding
industrial percussion and fragile organic ambiance.Fans of
Northern European post industrial acts will appreciate this album
for it sheer power and atmospheric strength while sound art
listeners will slowly uncover layer after layer of this many faced
composition. Edition of 500 copies in 4 panel digi sleeve
with 12 page booklet. 11 Tracks. Running Time 53:50 |

PSYCHOMANTEUM - "Oneironaut"
CD (Cyclic Law)
Cyclic Law is proud to bring forth
another new comer to it’s roster, this time with US duo
PSYCHOMANTEUM’s debut “Oneironaut”. The album is a sonic portrayal
of dreams tainted with the beauty of melancholia and mystery,
based on various dream structures and esoteric emotions of it’s
creators. Carefully manipulated field recordings layered with
dense melodic drones, processed guitars and keyboards form the
foundation of this body of work. The concept of the dream traveler
is the main focal point behind each piece, serving as an orbital
center which feeds energy and emotion into all encompassed works.
A travelogue of otherworldly proportions, where the search for
one’s self leads you into the abyss of the soul. Relinquish
consciousness and let the subconscious speak… The album’s unique
visual artwork was carefully channelled by the legendary Kati
Astraeir. Edition of 1000 copies in 6 panel Digipack

KAMMARHEIT - "The
Starwheel" CD (Cyclic Law) Reissue of Kammarheit's long
deleated second album wich has become a true classic in the Dark
Ambient spheres. The Starwheel offers us an eloquent, more
profound and highly personal album. The deeply serene drones and
melancholic soundscapes are as always the main focus, but this
time Pär Boström introduces an engulfing spiritual depth to his
soundscapes. Here is a new glimpse of the world of Kammarheit,
here's the second meditation. 8 Tracks. Running time; 46:06 |

KAMMARHEIT - "Asleep
And Well Hidden" CD (Cyclic Law) Now back in stock, the first
"official" cd from this now well known Swedish master of Dark
Ambient soundscapes. After a streak of cdrs and an apperance on
the Nord Ambient Alliance compilation CD, Kammarheit offers us a
unique album of tortured sonic landscapes taking us on an
unsetteling journey through darkened dreams. Homogeneous dark
ambiences combined with serene drones and put together as a
shadowy collection of dreamy, melancholic soundscapes, Kammarheit
forms images of long lost ruins, barren lands and gigantic,
rumbling machines. "Asleep and well hidden" was created as a tool
for dreamers, a place to flee to when the outside world comes too
close... 6 Tracks. Running time; 40:31 |

TRIANGULAR
ASCENSION - "Leviathan Device" CD (Cyclic Law)
Triangular Ascension is the debut album by Venezuela's Federico
Agreda and a much welcomed addition to the Cyclic Law Roster.
Taking inspiration from Thomas Hobbes book "Leviathan", the album
aims to depict the inner nightmare of the reality of mankind, ever
dwelling in fear and self-destruction. Upon activation of the "Device",
the water once used by the Elohim to create life, rages over the
lands cleansing the planet from every living creature that crawls
the soil, concluding in a post-apocalyptic requiem sung by the
leviathans themselves. The music translates into a carefully
crafted work full of cinematic drones of ruthless atmospheric
power, destined to make Triangular Ascension a name to be reckoned
with. Edition of 1000 copies in 4 panel Digipack. 9 Tracks.

SVARTSINN - "Of
Darkness And Re-Creation" CD (Cyclic Law)
First in a series of collaborations between Cyclic
Law and Ewers Tonkunst,
this is a re-issue of the long sold out second Svartsinn album
from the year 2003. “Of Darkness And Re-Creation” is
a
“collection of stories based on heavy mind struggles, emotional
complicity or elegies which either leads to emptiness or dark
places for a re-creation of the self image. Darkness is all around
us or inside each and every one of us, let¹s not fear it.. Prosper
in darkness...” (from the original edition release notes). Maybe
the most hopeless and desperate music ever done by Svartsinn’s
mastermind’s Jan Roger Pettersen, it is definitely one of the
classical works from this “new” generation of dark ambient artists
that were gathered around Cyclic Law in the first decade of 2000.

SVARTSINN - "Elegies
for the end" 2CD (Cyclic Law)
The 4th album by Norwegian dark ambient act, Svartsinn, shows a
more melodic yet rather obscure side of the artist. 2009 is the
10th year of Svartsinn's existence and it has inspired Pettersen
to try a different approach and to experiment with some new ideas.
This new musical journey deals with sadness and melancholy, about
not knowing one's place in this vast and at times uninviting world,
how it can become a daily torment to not be able to find one's
reason to exist. And it's also about finding one's personal path,
finding ways to endure and hopefully transcend these engulfing
life challenges. The Double CD includes a unique collaboration
track with Dahlia's Tear and a 10 years anniversary bonus disc
containing exclusive remixes by Triarii, Kammarheit, Letum, Life
Toward Twilight, Gustaf Hildebrand, Tenebrious, New Risen Throne,
MGriffin, Visions and Hovmod. All acts giving very interesting
perspectives on some of Svartsinn's previously released tracks,
making this second disc a very special homage to the singular
world of Svartsinn. Edition of 1000 copies in 8 panel foldout
cardboard sleeve. CD1: 4 Tracks. Running Time 34:36 CD2: 14 Tracks.

VISIONS - "Summoning
The Void" CD (Cyclic Law)
Following in the foot steps of the acclaimed "Lapse" album
released in 2005, "Summoning The Void" offers a deeper and more
refined rendering of previously explored themes. This is
unmistakably VISIONS, but a notch above in terms of spaciousness
and musicality and there's an even more profound spirituality
transpiring from these tracks. Passages that are more solemn and
austere give way to ritualized motifs where voices from the void
whisper words beyond words. And then, calm drifts bearing a more
aerial and streamlined quality emerge, from which shards of light
cut through the massive pitch-black backdrop where a bulging red
sun awaits in the distance, endlessly and slowly consuming itself.
Beyond that, nothingness. Void. This is the journey where Visions
wants to lead us, a world and non-world of infinite proportions, a
macro cosmic voyage through the hidden and intangible vastness of
all...for we are stardust... Edition of 1000 copies in A5 foldout
cardboard sleeve with embossed lettering. 5 Tracks. Running Time

ATARAXIA
- "Simphonia
Sine Nomine"
digipack CD
(Twilight
Records)
-
ATARAXIA is an Italian neoclassical
band who combine modern technology with archaic instrumentation.
They describe their music as a cross "between sacred and profane,
ethereal and neo-classical , contemporary and early music". They
make researches into the European legends crossing the Greek and
Latin myths. Their lyrics are written in many ancient and
contemporary languages.
An unusual disk that may remind some of Dead Can Dance, Elijah's
Mantle, or another neoclasical band of early 90`s. Simphonia Sine
Nomine seems to be halfway between Gothic and Symphonic Rock.
Vocalist Francesca Nicoli sings (in Italian and Latin) over synths,
keyboards, electric and acoustic guitars, and occasionally drum
machine. The music as a dark 'liturgical' gothic feel much of the
time, with lots of minor keys and half-chanted singing, although
there are a few brighter songs as well. A very enjoyable album,
although it's not for everyone... |

AYTHIS
- "The
New Earth"
digipack CD
(Twilight
Records)
-
AYTHIS was brought to life in France
by Carline Van Roos (Remembrance, Lethian Dreams) in 2006.
Lyrically inspired by dreams, isolation and death, Aythis aims to
be timeless and isolated from human nature. Aythis' harmonies are
created by the alchemy of depressive keyboard atmospheres,
haunting and hypnotic melodies, ethereal voice and dark orchestral
drums.
In July 2007, Aythis catches the interest of the english label
Paradigms Recordings that releases Aythis' debut album
DOPPELGÄNGER in November 2007.
After the succes of DOPPELGÄNGER, Aythis gets in contact with the
well-known french label Prikosnovénie that releases the second
album GLACIA in March 2009, a work that turns out to be more
orchestral. GLACIA paints a picture of wintry, icy and desolated
landscapes and receives very positive feedbacks from the press and
the listeners.
One year later, the composition of the third album begins. The
follow-up for GLACIA is called THE NEW EARTH. Without losing the
wintery atmospheres, this third album melt many influences and
results in an unique blend of ethereal, neoclassical, neofolk
rythmed by bombastic drums. |

THE SOIL BLEEDS BLACK
- "Quintessence"
digipack CD
(Twilight
Records)
- Long
out-of-print, The Fossil Dungeon and Argentina’s Twilight Records
have teamed-up to re-issue “Quintessence,” the fifth full-length
album from THE SOILS BLEEDS BLACK
lengthy discography of esoteric, folk-driven, traditionally
inspired medieval music. “Quintessence” consists of five
neo-medieval folk songs, each based on the alchemical elements of
earthe, air, fyre, water, and quintessence. This fifth album of
theirs showcases the longest songs ever recorded by the band and
accomplishes a sound unlike any of their previous musical efforts,
while still maintaining their standard of medieval atmosphere.
Considered their "neo-folk" album, this release is filled with
rich lyrical intricacies and lush acoustic instrumentations. Two
additional bonus tracks are included on this album. For fans
of DEAD CAN DANCE, MEDAEVAL BAEBES, QNTAL, ATARAXIA, ESTAMPIE,
etc. |

DAWN & DUSK ENTWINED - "Vanitas
Vanitatum"
digipack CD
(Twilight
Records)
- six
songs of decadent and gloomy atmospheres, now with three exclusive
new versions of songs originally featured on “The Hikimori songs”
10 inch EP. The original edition of Vanitas Vanitatum was strictly
limited to 99 hand-numbered copies on a printed cdr with A5
special paper packaging. The revered French project
Dawn & Dusk Entwined released its
first album now more than 10 years ago on World Serpent, then on
various other famous labels like Athanor or Cold Meat Industry, to
follow its uncompromised path made of heavily atmospheric and
dynamic soundscapes, mixing cinematic dark ambience with forceful,
at times martial, rhythms, neo-folk nuances and strong
orchestrations, with the permanent care of avoiding the clichés of
all styles. In a era where man was placed at the center of
creation, vanities paintings in the 16-17th century were meant to
recall him his mortal fate and greater values, God at the time,
than human pretentions, consumerism, cheap entertainment... |

VILGOĆ - "Use This
Body of Mine for Any Purpose"
CDR (Chaosynod) VILGOĆ is a prominent Polish act which has
recently undergone a drastic transformation from minimalistic
Power Electronics (physical releases) / Noise (live shows) to pure
Harsh Noise Wall aesthetics. Upon this metamorphosis, Sebastian
Harmazy has recorded a number of releases, establishing himself
well in the genre. "Use This Body of Mine for Any Purpose" brings
thick, relentless and unforgiving Harsh Noise Wall with no
prospects of change or progress whatsover.
This release comes with
pro-printed disc locked within printed envelope wrapped in elastic
black foil. |

KAFEL -
"1982–1992" 2CD special box (Archive Series / Requiem)
Cross-sectional
record of this very interesting group, led by Dariusz Krzywański,
with whom Katarzyna Nosowska began her career.
Part One (1982-1986) presents the great beginnings of recording
activity. Definitely a greeting to a direction of experiments
close to Throbbing Gristle. Yet, this is not an aggressive, biting
or noisy music. The artist in a continuous search, took care of
melody, arrangement tastes and traditional composition. A
multitude of ideas as in recordings from 30 years ago.
Second record (1989-1992) is already a designated trail. Cool-wave
atmosphere mixed with a heavy rhythm of drum machines. Powerful
bass interacts here with ambient, which oscillates between
sequential electronics and industrial. Lyricism and form of
expression in texts gives a specific character to the whole.
This is a must for every self-respecting music in search lover,
mixed with a pinch of the best achievements of the late gothic
scene of 80/90. |
