Named "Coemeterium", it is the darkest album in the existence of this lower Silesian project. "Graven night, cold and gloomy autumnal atmosphere with drone echoes, gongs and creaking living elements. Full of death, fullmoon in the fog, dark side of nature, catacombs, graveyards and ancient burial ceremonies".

SECRET DRUID SOCIETY - "Restless" digipack CD (First Fallen Star) - 10 euro - Long after we are all dead and gone, the planet will continue to go about its business. For aeons before humans existed and for aeons after we are extinct, Earth will cycle onward through seemingly endless ages, barely aware that we existed at all. It is from our own arrogance that we imagine Earth without humans to be a quiet place, an inactive place. If we were to look more closely, to listen...

SHRINE - "Nihil" CD (Cyclic Law) - SOLD OUT!!

SIEBEN - "Each Divine Spark" digipack CD  (Redroom) - 11 euro - "Each Divine Spark' is the finest and most fully-realised Sieben album to date. Finding the balance between enigmatic menace and elegant beauty, its lines lock into the brain on first listen - as the looped layers of violin build to a heady and head-spinning orchestral brilliance. Restless, driving rhythms are channelled into performances of restrained intensity, helped by MATT HOWDEN's most confident vocals yet, forward in the mix, close to the ear. Recorded in a perfect studio acoustic, the album creates a sound-maze and leads the listener to the centre. A statement of intent; a masterclass". Features guests: Jo Quail, Sarah Jay Hawley, April Howden, Michael Eden.

SIEBEN - "Star Wood Brick Firemamet" digipack CD  (Redroom) - 11 euro - Sieben is unique. There is nothing like him. Words flow from a silky voice and notes slide off the bow with ease. In this there is magic. Chemistry happens. The strings loop, the songs unfurl and the images in your head blossom. You are drawn to this world, compelled. Star Wood Brick Firmament envelops you. It enchants. Its stories are rich in life and human warmth and, sometimes, cold reality. This is the mighty Sieben, better than ever. Every track is memorable. Beautifully produced by the man himself, Matt Howden.

SIMULACRA - "There is a fountain filled with blood" CD  (No Angels Prod. / Consouling Sounds) - SOLD OUT!!

SISTRENATUS - "Sensitive Disturbance" CD (Cold Spring)  - 5 euro -  Blurring the lines between Dark Ambient, Industrial and Noise, Sistrenatus storms forth, shifting between oppressive aggression and unsettling atmospheres. "Sensitive Disturbance" is the third offering from this now legendary Canadian act, whose debut "Division One" was issued on Cold Spring in 2007. An aural journey through the urban decay of abandoned factories, scorched landscapes and underground passageways. "Sensitive Disturbance" is an abrasive rendition of the industrial revolution in its darkest phases.

SKY BURIAL - "Transmissions From The Void" CDR + ART CARD SET (Crucial Blast) - 8 euro - Since the dissolution of his long running power electronics/harsh noise project Fire In The Head, New England noise artist Mike Page has gone on to focus on his other project Sky Burial, which had long existed as a "softer", less violent side of Page's musical work. The first time that I heard Sky Burial was on the self-titled disc that he released on Housepig sometime around 2006, and was impressed by the vaguely menacing drone rock experiments and dark ambience that was featured on it's six tracks. In the last couple of years, though, Sky Burial has evolved into a much more distinct sound that while definitely less confrontational and abrasive as his work with FITH and Irukandji, is still plenty dark and malevolent, a kind of sinister cosmic bliss-out that brings together his obvious love of classic 70's space music and krautrock (Tangerine Dream, Popul Vuh, Vangelis, Klaus Schulze, Cluster, etc) with an undercurrent of grimy, apocalyptic industrial dread. Being a huge fan of both dark industrial and old-school kosmische music myself, I've been getting more and more into Sky Burial's music with each new release, and when C-Blast received a copy of the new Sky Burial album Transmission From The Void to check out earlier this year, I was sucked in to it's glazed black-nebula ambience instantly. Consisting of a single album-length track, Transmissions is one of the darkest pieces of cosmic drift that I've heard from this project so far, it's nearly forty-five minute runtime constantly moving through clouds of intercepted radio signals and distant rhythmic grinding into clusters of gorgeous synthesizer drift that ascend into the stratosphere, then crashing back down into blood-freezing stretches of infernal machine-drone and swirling abyssal ambience

SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY - "Stealth" 2CD (Cold Spring) - SOLD OUT!!

SPREU & WEIZEN - "Gott Vergelt's" CD (Lichterklang) - 11 euro - "Gott vergelt’s", the second full-length album of Munich's SPREU & WEIZEN is a conceptual album concerned with the fall and second rise of the Roman Empire. The album's title is an allusion to a Southern German expression for "thank you", but is to be understood, as was the case with the first album's title "Gott erhalt's", as a play on words calling on God to retaliate against the decline of the Roman Empire.
SPREU & WEIZEN's "Gott vergelt’s" features collaborations with Von Thronstahl, Art Abscons, Rose Rovine E Amanti and Karma Marata.
As opposed to the aspiring Bavarians' first album, this CD can no longer be classified as purely neoclassical, which is mainly due to two new members who have had a strong impact on the project's sound. Apart from powerful slogans and fiery guitars, we are presented with an enticing melange of melancholic neoclassicism and gloomy Christian folk that has a decent Italian touch.
The neoclassical project SPREU & WEIZEN was founded in 2009. In the beginning, the group consisted of two members, Sig P. and Hagalaz. After a slight change in style, embodying, amongst others, black metal and psychedelic elements, first concert plans were made, and guitarist Chris T. as well as flutist Iduna T. joined the group in the following year.
Especially a collaboration with German poet Uwe Lammla and German martial industrial project Von Thronstahl, which was based on Lammla's poem "Deutsche Passion", was received with great enthusiasm.

STEEL HOOK PROSTHESES - "Atrocitizer" digipack CD  (Malignant) - 11 euro -  As long time admirers of this Texas two piece, it seemed only a matter of time before Steel Hook Prostheses would find a home with Malignant. While Atrocitizer will probably not be considered their most aggressive release, it is unquestionably their most unsettling and creepy. 10 tracks in total and close to 50 minutes of death industrial in it’s purest form, dripping and oozing with sinister intentions, and full of grim electronics, unnerving pulsations, and cold frequency spasms that swarm from a fetid pit of malevolence. Add in a steady stream of ultra menacing , processed vocals and nightmarish samples, and surely you have one of the more disturbing releases ever to be released on Malignant. Steel Hook Prostheses formed in 1999, and since then have amassed an impressive discography of limited CDR releases. Atrocitizer is just their second full length non CDR release following 2005's Light Reflected From A Cold Cutting Table. In 6 panel digipak.

STROPS – "Likuma Burts"  digipack CD (Sturm) - 10 euro - Industrial. The solid fullenght release penetrates one's mind and emotions with massive layers of noisy, powerful industrial in combination with lyric ambient fever. The dramatic martial opus shines with a distinct Strops peal, - deep, anxious, snug and melancholic. Great barricade industrial songs bear strong social anti-consumerist concept, a hint of despise towards globalisation and philistinism - the resistant message about a forgotten price of freedom.

STURMPERCHT - "Geister im Waldgebirg" digipack CD (Percht / Steinklang) - 12 euro - One year has passed since the Austrian / south Bavarian Alpin-Folk formation Sturmpercht released their last 7". finally now here is their long awaited new album! "Geister im Waldgebirg" is a journey through the deepest central-European forests and mountains with all their strange creatures, fairies, myths and legends. the sounds and lyrics on this album are engrained in old pagan rites and cults, in hunters-legends and in tales from darkest woods and the people living there. the songstyles vary from powerful Martial-Folk hymns, over fragile Folk-balads, to weird songs about strange people and creepy animals. several great artists supported Sturmpercht in the making of this album: first af all Axel from WERKRAUM, who is a basic Sturmpercht-member since quite a while now. it's Axels perfect guitar- and flute playing and his skillful hands in mixing, that the Folk-songs have this brilliant late 60ies/early 70ies touch now. the close Sturmpercht-friends ALLERSEELEN, SANGRE CAVALLUM and WALDTEUFEL have also recorded fantastic songs especially for this album.

The project was then laid to rest and years later finally revived. A very surreal, obscure and cinematic sounding opus has been created by Miljenko, following closely in the footsteps of previous works but now taking the project to new levels.

THE FLOATING WORLD “The Apparition” digipack CD (Cyclic Law) - 12 euro - The Floating World is the solo project of Amanda Votta. Begun in 2005, three albums have been released so far; Full Sturgeon Moon (Hand/Eye 2005), Unda (Barl Fire 2005) and River of Flowers (Foxglove 2006), appearing as well on a few compilations. Amanda has also collaborated with Gustaf Hildebrand in Lacus Somniorum, as well as with Far Black Furlong and New Risen Throne. She also has a band, Secrets to the Sea, with Neddal Ayad from Desolation Singers. The Apparition is Amanda Votta’s attempt to capture that moment when things are other than what they appear to be, when a sound is not just a sound, a voice not just a voice. The liminality of certain places, things, sounds, people, experiences, apparitions in their own right as they are neither here nor there serves as inspiration for our endeavor to reach for that which we cannot see. Just as it was the sound of Iokanaan’s voice that transfixed Salome, the sound and the words, we have blended sound and words to mimic that experience. The Apparition takes its name from the painting by Gustav Moreau depicting the apparition of Iokanaan appearing before Salome, a vision only she sees, that exists in a space between that which we see and that which cannot be seen. On this album Amanda is joined by Neddal Ayad (Desolation Singers/Great Attractor), Timothy Renner (Stone Breath) and Nicole Votta. Drifting, minimalistic ambiances are overlaid by The Floating World's signature flutes, combining to weave soundscapes that are as dreamlike as they are melancholic.

The title of the album therefore might also be translated as "The colour of blood on stone". „Blóðslitinn á Steininum“ emphasizes WEIHANS outstanding position in that particular genre. The album was mastered by Axel Frank at the „Blue Lounge Studio“ in Berlin.

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.
