  GROBBING THRISTLE  
  "Hidden Strategies"  
  digipack CD 2009  
    / experimental ambient / noise with postindustrial /  
     
 

Who would expect that under the name Grobbing Thristle are hidden mutated clones of Genesis P. Orridge, will be surprised by the amount of sound strategies used by the Poznań's ensemble. Despite that GT knowingly place themselves in continuum named by the creations of 20 Jazz Funk Greats”, their noise-electronic collages with every listening bring new musical universes.

 
 

On one of the levels Grobbing Thristle play steel symphony of postindustrial earthy Inferno. Noisy wind of clicks, cracks, laptop grinds, insect like microsamples and psychotic looped vocals lead into paranoic world like in novels of Philipa K.Dicka. The thing that scares here the most is by paradox, the most common and accustom element - voice. The words "...So yes I have to go now, so bye bye..." opening the album sound like a goodbye before descending into the abyss. But this is a hell of cybernetic robots - this is a music that brings pain. Fortunately for artistic might of the recordings GT knows how to dose it.

 
   
 

Grobbing Thristle is close to Coil's vision of "lunar music". It's the same type of psychoactive spells, slowly finding and tasting what hidden beyond the courtain of everyday time. The project idea came from Radek Dziubek, former co-creator of Blimp (grow up from post-punk scene and minimal rock Polish precoursors of postrock fusions). From them they learned how to describe the fragile nature of world, by dosing the intense of sonic signal. Grobbing Thristle made one rare thing - finding energy between what "live" and "mechanic", emotional and dehumanized, spontanous and constructed, created their own musical idiom. What more important - even though their experimental ambitions, the recordings hipnotyze with dense, mysterious, and often momochromatic aura. Dark and disturbingly beautiful album.

  ATUM  
  "Legendy Miejskie"  
  digipack CD 2009  
    / dark ambient / darkdrone /  
     
 

"Legendy miejskie / Urban Legends", the latest album by ATUM, has just arrived! "Urban Legends", arguably one of the strongest titles of the Beast of Prey label, is an extraordinary album, composed mostly of field recordings registered in Jaworzno, the home town of ATUM. It is an attempt at reconstructing the surroundings in order to distill something that eludes the every-day experience. Despite its private character, the message of the Legends is universal as well. Everyone of us passes dozens of places we think are "tamed", places seemingly devoid of meaning. Just a little effort is what it takes to dispel this illusion.

 
 

Musically, the album is rather varied. It's a combination of field recordings, drones, whispers, and sounds of different acoustic instruments. The purpose is to reveal the oneiric dark side of the surrounding world. Guests such as Infamis (acoustic guitar), Tomasz K, Rafał Pach, and Piotr U (the author's friends from Jaworzno) contributed to the making of the album.

 
   
 

Album released in colour digipack, full professional production.

  "Le Grand Mystere"  
  profi CD-r 2009  
    / dark ambient / deep darksounds /  
     
 

New release in Colaboration Beast Of Prey, Polish projekt of dark ambient with very dark, black and eternal sounds. "Le Grand Mystere" = 70 min album.

 
  "...Black, cold, the surrounding space. Without sound, without a bit of breath. Somewhere far away beyond the borders of the senses, outs of time, you can hear hopelessly long cries, sad, never-ending monotonous song of emptiness. Emptiness fills everything. Even hearts so far full of life now are dead. All overflows undescribed sorrow, starting off where everything was beginning. Amazing black, deep unlimited black. Darkness nothing more, there is no light. Far flare of perspective changes driven every day. The hours, days, months, years are irrelevant. Waiting gradually turned into the reluctance, the reluctance into sadness, sadness into pain. Far strenuous pain, of all colours of grey - the colour black. ..."

  INNER VISION LABORATORY  
& ROTO VISAGE
"Cinema Stain"
  profi CD-r 2009  
  / dark ambient / melancholic darksounds /
     
 

We would like to present a unique opus, which appears as a co-operation of Inner Vision Laboratory (Poland) and Roto Visage (USA) projects, symbolically entitled "Cinema Stain".

 
  Here, the listener is forced to wale in pathological and "impure" visualizations of human pain, fears and suffering, which are surprisingly seducing with subtle beauty. Some of the soundforms are painted heavily with a brush of rhythm while others flow like the spools of film spinning through a mechanical projector. The aim of both of the composers was to write an original soundtrack to a non-existent horror film – the result is excellent, and by taking vocal samples from other movies, they created also an auditory record of tension and melancholic darkness. For layout of this release, we used modified photographs from the very talented photographer - Karolina Kosowicz.  
 

Packaging is non-typical: professionally printed and professionally duplicated CDR with additional graphical insert are placed in a plastic box (slim dvd box type). Inserts and covers are professionally printed on gloss paper. Edition is limited to 200 hand numbered copies. Album production by No Angels Prod. and Beast Of Prey.

MONOPIUM

 
"Mesmerized"
  CD 2009  
  / psychodelic / neo-cabaret / dadamusic /
     
 

Debut album of polish project MONOPIUM is definitely something new and different on our Polish music scene. Based on fascinations of dadaism, avantgarde, atmosphere of old Berlin cabarets and surrealism is unusual  music project.

 
 

Over 40 minutes of psychodelic and avantgarde music. The mix of different genres and styles that cannot be described in one word. If dadaists were anarchistic negation of European heritage, rejecting todays conventions and restrictions for the sake of free and unbound fantasy and bit of trivial mistification, so what is MONOPIUM today? Dada works with all his might to incorporate the idiotism all around. But creatively. And how MONOPIUM did this...?

 
   
 

Conventional release, cover made by Robert Schalinski from COLUMN ONE idealy presents atmosphere and surrealism of the musical project MONOPIUM. Limited edition of  500 copies.

Untitled Navigations I was recorded live in the Villa Bohult studio, and is one massive ambient piece of slow moving darkness. As the soundscape evolves, rythmic patterns appear and merges with the crackling of broken records and deep resounding frequencies. Partly based upon Nordvargr´s previous attempts to alter sleep patterns, this recording also contains theta/delta waves, but the reason for this is not revealed. Untitled Navigations I is presented exactly as it was performed, without any overdubs or post production. Prepare for another dark journey into the mind of the nordic master of darkness.

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 gatefold cardboard sleeve.

 
 

 

 

 

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.

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALLSEITS - "Hel" CD (Cyclic Law) 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.

 
 

 

 

 

 

CITIES LAST BROADCAST - "The Cancelled Earth" CD (Cyclic Law)  Pär Boström, the man behind the acclaimed project KAMMARHEIT offers us a new and unexpected entity under the name Cities Last Broadcast. The Cancelled Earth album is the result of almost a decade of sporadic field recordings mainly recorded in airports, train stations, various tunnels and under numerous bridges all greatly polished and turned into a refined mass of desolate ambience and subtle hypnosis all engulfed in Pär's legendary signature sound. Uniquely packaged in a gatefold book like format with rich and singular artwork made by Boström himself. Through Cities Last Broadcast the buildings themselves will gather to whisper about their inscrutable story.

 
     
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ATOMINE ELEKTRINE - "Archimetrical Universe" digipack CD (Eternal Pride Productions) 2009 remixed version of "Archimetrical 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).

 
     
 

 

 

 

 

BEYOND SENSORY EXPERIENCE & MOLJEBKA PVLSE - "Zielona Gora" digipack CD (Ur Muzik) The debut release on this Polish label comes from two well-known Swedish acts: Beyond Sensory Experience and Moljebka Pvlse. Both bands were invited in April 2008 to play a concert in Zielona Góra, Poland. After the concert the two bands joined together on stage and recorded the raw material for this release. This material was then taken to chilly Stockholm and reworked by the artists. The result is a monumental, 70 minutes long, dark ambient work that unifies the excellence of Beyond Sensory Experience and Moljebka Pvlse's worlds. Ltd x 500 copies in a 6-panel digipak.

 
     
 

 

 

 

 

SOL INVICTUS - "Lex Talionis" digipack CD (Infinite Fog Productions)  Russian edition of the stunning album from the legendary UK dark folk act Sol Invictus.

Ltd x 1001 copies.

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ORCHIS - "A Thousand Winter" digipack CD (Infinite Fog Productions) "A Thousand Winter" it is improbable result of the deep mystical experiences embodied in studio work! It's a сonceptual album, with Grand Theme: The story of one part of Europe is extraordinarily like every other part; a thriving pagan culture that at first laughs in derision at the priests of the desert messiah, and then is slowly submerged by the rising tide of christianity until all that remains is folk memory and old tales and songs. The cult of the Nazarene has built many truly awe-inspiring cathedrals from the blood of the people of Europe whilst incorporating and subverting their culture into that of the Blood of the Lamb. Now this album also the important part of history Neo-Folk of music to which we again have possibility to touch... So, ORCHIS again with us and returning begins with "A THOUSAND WINTERS" which we with pride represent in 6 pannel-digiCD with a bronze stamping.

 
     
 

 

 

CONTAGIOUS ORGASM - "Invasion" CD (SSSM Rec.) First new full-length release from Japanese sound virtuoso Contagious Orgasm (aka Hiroshi Hashimoto) in 3 years! "From the outside space to the inner space. Music that enters your deep psychology from eardrum. Processed field recordings & electro-acoustic sound art collage, a mixture of constituted delicately industrial and noisy ambient sounds. Infected person increase!!" Presented in a sealed card sleeve.

 
 

 

 

CONTAGIOUS ORGASM & KOTODAMA - "Blackout" CD (SSSM Rec.) Two unique Japanese bands took part in this wonderful work. Both are very active in in the electronic music scene, with Manabu Hiramoto of Kotodama also recording as Shinkiro. But each act defines their own unique sound within many spectrums, from deep electro and dark sounds, noise to dreamy and atmospheric soundtracks. Presented in a sealed card sleeve.

 
 

 

 

 

 

CONTAGIOUS ORGASM & FLUTWACHT - "Inspection Of 1 Hour" CD (SSSM Rec.) 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.

 
     
 

 

 

 

DISHARMONY - "Evolution" digipack CD (Tympanik) Disharmony's new album, and these guys' second CD for Tympanik (following 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.

 
     
 

 

 

 

PERSONA - "Ruines" digipack CD (Marbre Negre) 19 tracks of Industrial, Martial, Noise and lyrical passages from this Dark Ambient and Experimental band from Barcelona, Spain. Presented in a digipak with a 24 page full-colour booklet containing an essay of the concept of ruin along history and artwork by Persona member and art historian Desirée. "Even though we intend to have everything under control, mankind will never be able to see the ruins that will survive them. They will always work as a silent reminder of history". Recommended!

 
     
 

 

 

 

 

 

RASALHAGUE - "Theories Behind Chaos" 3'CDr (Rasalhague Music) Packaged as a mini CD (3"), full-color artwork, and 2-page professionally-printed booklet inside a mini clear snapcase. Limited to 111 hand-numbered copies.  I love getting releases like this...hidden gems that catch me by surprise and just completely deliver the goods. The Vestigial debut 3 inch was the same way. You listened to it, and you pretty much knew within the first 4 minutes that they were onto something out of the ordinary and a notch above the rest. And so, we have here Rasalhague. A one man project from Indiana, this debut is a swirling black mass of brooding drones and weighty cosmic doom. Definitely for fans of Vestigial, Terra Sancta, Cyclic Law, and things of that nature. One to keep an eye on.

 
     
 

 

 

 

Z'EV - "Rhythmajik" CD (Small Voices) - This audio material accompany the Italian edition of "Rhythmajik" (RHYTHMAJIK: Practical uses of Number, Rhythm and Sound). Z'EV, percussionist extraordinaire, played his homemade instruments (gongs, hand-made metal percussions, titanium plate, low steel drums). Z'EV proved to be a sensitive and skilled master of his instruments, creating complex rhythms and varied timbres... Experimental percussive industrial music... Don't miss this magical album!!! Z'EV is a pioneer!

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Z'EV / RAMONA PONZINI - "Ankoku" CD (A Silent Place)   Ramona's personal touch is certainly her own particular Japanese chant, together with the use of traditional percussion, bells and cymbals from Japan. Z'EV, enchanted by all those elements, asked Ramona for this cooperation. "Ankoku" is a Japanese word which means "deep darkness". For this debut Ramona's voice and percussion was processed by My Cat Is An Alien in their mysterious studio, placed somewhere in Western Alps, adding some field recordings. Those recordings were then sent to Z'EV who has processed them with some of his typical percussion. Z'EV deconstructed the sweetness of Ramona's chants, enfolding the pieces with a darker atmosphere. 5 obscure tracks, structured on charming vocal melodies moving out from a "haunted house". Digifile.

 
     
 

 

 

MAJDANEK WALTZ - "About world's birth" CD (Wroth Emitter Prod.)  Fourth official album of dark folk formation from Ryazan'. Symbiosis between classic european dark folk and dark ambient. Slow guitar fingering and strident viola are mixed with gloomy drones. The voice is declaiming doomy and violently. About world's birth. Music for thoughtful listening. Guests Wolfsblood.

 
     
 

 

 

 

 

 

ANHEDONIA - "Ontology" CD (Aliens Prod.) A long awaited album of this talented musician, who has with its album DESTRUCTIVE FORCES crossed waters of idm genre and his next phase will be for sure a desert for fans of industrial community. Crystal electronics in pulsating rhythms and atmospheric labyrinths is again timeless phase in production of this creative artist, that is crossing over boundaries of human perception. Noncommercial electronic full of alterations and industrial methods in combination with melodies and destructive surfaces. On this album you can find interesting cooperations with projects like: DOCTOROFMINDMD, SOMBRA, DISHARMONY, that has moved this work again on higher level.

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

OXYD - "Astral Border" CD (Aliens Prod.) OXYD's previous album, "Larva" saw a huge step forward and change in production.  And with this new release, OXYD are once again searching through new electronic territories, exploring the new paths and corners that appeared on the previous release and pursuing them even further.  Atmostpheric elements, combined with dominant beats and monumental sceneries set the stage, whilst gothic voices accompanied by synthetic pulses and melodic lines make up the foreground.  A mix of IDM and analog elements into which flow dark ambient textures and industrial elements.  This album is yet another definitive step foward whose dynamic face and stronger attitude to production make it a musical experience not to be missed.

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

LAST INFLUENCE OF BRAIN - "Two Faces" CD (Aliens Prod.) New on Aliens Producion - one of the newest forces on the Slovakian dark electro scene.   This, the third official release from LAST INFLUENCE OF BRAIN is their most mature work, reflecting roughness and EBM roots in combination with industrial elements and glorious melodic patterns.  This excellent release is based on strong rhythms that will hunt you down from the first listen, live vocals are strong and confidently delivered and catchy refrains will quickly get under your skin.  This album is bound to gain worldwide attention, and with its old-school sound, fans of bands like SKINNY PUPPY, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, and more recently NECRO FACILITY will be delighted by this project!

 
     
   

ABANDONED PLACE - "Shadow Of Memory" digifile CD 2008 (Thonar Records) - Dark Ambient /  The debut album from french Dark Ambient artist Abandoned Place (sideproject of March Of Heroes!). Mastered by Frederic Arbour (Cyclic Law). Comes in a magnificent digifile with a beautiful artwork by Sperber Illustrationen.

 
 

 

 

 

FALSE  MIRROR - "North"  CD  (Thonar Records) - 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.

 
 

 

 

 

 

PANTHEON LEGIO MUSICA - "Per Aspera ad Astra" digipack CD 2008 (Thonar Records) - Ancient Industrial Folk / Martial /  Marching Drums, enchanting Flutes and Harps, epic Chorals and the strange feeling to live inside a movie which takes place in ancient Rome, somewhere between the legion’s march and the worship for a god, somewhere between Caesar and Marc Aurel, somewhere between the will to absolute power and the intuition of total decay, somewhere between history and imagination, somewhere between here and there is the Elysium of Pantheon Legio Musica and their house for all gods.

 
     
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

S.E.T.I. - "Corona" CD 2009  (Loki Fundation) Fifth album from Andrew Lagowski's deep space exploration project, S.E.T.I. Active since 1982, Lagowski has notably collaborated with Lustmord on one-off projects such as Terror Against Terror and Isolrubin BK, and his own solo work includes material released as Legion and under his own name. Of all his albums as S.E.T.I., 1994's "Knowledge" has always been a personal top pick, and remains even today among the best sonic attempts at evoking the vastness of the cosmos (and for $4 at Soleilmoon, there is really no reason why you shouldn't pick up a copy right now). "Corona" is the rightful follow-up to it, as it reuses and improves on a lot of the same elements: deep cosmic drones, sputtering digital oscillations, NASA recordings, cut-up radio broadcasts and harmonic waves are all forged together into a richly-detailed 52-min journey to the beyond. Ad Astra!

 
     
 

 

 

  STRATVM TERROR - "This is my Own Hell"  CD (Reverse Alignment) - The return in late 2008 of Peter Andersson (Raison D'etre, Necrophorous) and Tobias Larsson (Ocean chief) after a long silence. "This is My Own Hell" is over an hour of darkest, bleakest industrial. Spanning minimalist dark ambience to doomed industrial passages Stratvm Terror portrays an absolutely hopeless atmosphere of pure desolation. Artwork featuring the paintings of Mia Mäkilä, comes in 4 panel full color digifile.  
    TAPHEPHOBIA - "Black City Skyline" CDr (Reverse Alignment) - Taphephobia is Ketil Söraker, former member of Northaunt that has stepped into a different form of dark drone ambient. Guitar based drone-ambient that is in part peaceful and celestial, but also eerie and full of shadowy, nebulous textures. Pro – CDr in full – coloured folded A4 sleeve (edition of 250 copies)  
     
    BAD SECTOR - "Dolmen Factory" CD  (Faria Records) -  Reprint of the classic Bad Sector release. Harmonic, noisy, emotional electronic tracks set the trademark sound of the one-man project from Tuscany. It includes an unreleased track.

  AETERNA - "New Dawn" digipack CD (Cold Meat Industry)   Aeterna is a new apocalyptic folk outfit from Germany, born in 2007. In the beginning it was intended to be the strictly personal musical outlet for founding member Birthe Klementowski, well-known from her artwork for Cold Meat Industry’s Desiderii Marginis, :Golgatha: and Dawn & Dusk Entwined, but the dynamics between Alpha and Omega brought forth something new. The dark and brooding atmospheres invoke the mood of decline and decay, a direct resemblance to the artist’s photography. The album ‘New Dawn’ ultimately presents 11 songs about the decline and rebirth of culture.  
 

 

 

 

 

 

  BRIGHTER DEATH NOW - "Where Dreams Come True" digipack CD (Cold Meat Industry)  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!  
 

 

 

 

 

 

  ELDAR - "Sapere Aude" digipack CD (Cold Meat Industry)   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.  
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  KNIFELADDER - "Music/Concrete" digipack CD (Cold Meat Industry)  Knifeladder have been in existence in one form or another since 1998. Their sound is the culmination of years of experimentation and independent development. The resultant sound is a heavily percussive industrial organic hybrid, a new meshing of electronic loops, live bass and percussion and ethnic instrumentation to form a kind of Organic Industrial Music.Two years after the release of 'The Spectacle' (now sold out) Cold Meat Industry are pleased to present the latest work by Knifeladder; 'Music/Concrete'. - a unique mix of hi tec and lo fi sounds, authorititive drums courtesy of the one and only John Murphy, and distorted obscure instruments, Knifeladder have again produced a work of great visceral power. With shuddering machine loops overlaid with frenetic metal percussion, power ambient soundscapes melting into epic defiant anthems, Music/Concrete uses traditional hand played electronics and instrumentation to realise a throroughly contemporary vision of rebirth and decay.

  SEKTOR 304 - "Soul Cleansing" digipack CD 2009 (Malignant Records) Equipped with a frightening and impressive array of primitive instrumentation pulled from junkyards and scrap metal heaps, this Portuguese outfit has delivered an astounding formal debut – a heady mixture of truly old school industrial in the vein of Einsturzende Neubauten, Test Dept , and S.P.K , and the grinding, bass heavy dirge of vintage Swans and Godflesh . These are anthems to the past, but geared towards an apocalyptic and bleak future… a form of counter-culture using what is most evident in modern western society: the debris, the abandoned objects, the waste, the noise, and the interference. With a solid foundation of rusty, oil drenched percussion, Sektor 304 adds layer upon layer of squalling industrial clangor, hammering metallic noise, grimy atmospheres, heaving masses of haunted factory drones, and threatening tribal batter, with a strong and commanding vocal presence. The sound here is almost physical in nature – provocative, persistent, and demanding. No one is doing what Sektor 304 is doing right now. Anyone into TRUE industrial (and that includes not just the aformentioned old guard, but also things like Strom.ec, Militia, Negru Voda, and Knifeladder) really should not miss out. In 6 panel digipak, mastered by Steel Hook Audio.

  ASPECTEE "Morben" digipack CD 2009 (First Fallen Star) 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.  
 

 

 

 

 

  KARSTEN HAMRE - "Through the Eyes of a Stranger"  CD + DVD /PAL/ 2009 (First Fallen Star) Having created music for many years under such project names as Arcane Art, Penitent, and Defraktor, Karsten Hamre returns with the "Through the Eyes of a Stranger". Similar to his project Dense Vision Shrine, under his own name, Karsten crafts desolate dark ambient sound structures, ornamented by sampled sounds and experimental textures. The end result of this process is an experience categorized perhaps too simply as dark ambient, though it more closely resembles a dark soundtrack to a movie, or to a life - as seen through the eyes of a stranger. Ltd x 500 copies in a DVD case with bonus DVD that takes the viewer on a visual journey of imagery used for live performances. PAL Format, Region 0 (will play in all European DVD players).  
 

 

 

 

 

  DENSE VISION SHRINE - "Time Lost in Oblivion" CD + DVD /PAL/ 2009 (First Fallen Star)  Although it mysteriously shares a similar title and artwork with "Lost Time in Oblivion", "Time Lost in Oblivion" is a completely new album with no known connection to the 2007 release. Building upon a solid foundation of dark ambient, Dense Vision Shrine also employs sampled sounds and sparse rhythm to carefully design the listening experience of a realm where time itself has stopped, of a blackened voyage into oblivion. Each track of the album is distinctive, yet always possessing the signature of Dense Vision Shrine and proving unmistakably bleak. Ltd x 500 copies in a DVD case with bonus DVD of visual material used for the background screening during live performances. PAL Format, Region 0 (will play in all European DVD players).
