AHNENERBE -"Nacht und Nebel" CD [Autarkeia] 12
(It is one more original record found in archives that, in Autarkeias
estimation, could not be forgotten and left unreleased. Particularly unusually
constructed, extremely suggestive, gloomy atmosphere of the work could
probably be defined as a result of synthesis of several styles of electronic
music. Powerful, striking and mysterious mood is created by sounds of
especially unconventional dark ambient and concrete music, and sickly,
distorted monstrous-sound consonances call out gloomy and uneasy psychedelic
emotions. Whole album savours of mystery, anxiety and sensation as if
something horrible is approaching or happening. The album s atmosphere, as
well as legendary Ahnenerbe institute, raises a lot of questions and presents
no answers. It is an impenetrable wail of 'Nacht und Nebel'. For a few chosen
it is the openness of mystical science, and for all the rest it is horror,
anticipation and obscurity while trying to perceive with strained senses what
is actually happening in the catacombs of the institute full of wandering
shadows and oppressing hallucinations. Wolfram Sievers (Reichsgeschäftsführer
des Ahnenerbes), perhaps was the only one able to reveal the mystery, but he
disappeared after performing an uncanny death ritual, and drew an indefeasible
line between himself and those who want to know, between those who ask and
those who know the answers.)
AEOGA - COAV CD
[Aural Hypnox] 12
(The debut album of Aeoga, titled as 'COAV', presents very original and
haunting material based on spiralling dark drones, eerie guitar feedback
textures, archaic drum and cymbal patterns, atonal / tonal vocalizations and
distant / peculiar sample layers. The 8 tracks of the album offer material
from organic dark ambient / archaic & ascetic horizons to dark and
haunting tribal /ritual atmospheres. "To exhaust mind and body in order
to obtain a condition of non consciousness and thus receive, realize and
create material based on both primal and absent vision".Comes in a
special octagon shaped cardboard covers including an 6 panel textured
cardboard sleeve)

(a collaboration project between Die Sonne Satan and Runes Order. Dark
atmospheres and death ambient)
ATRAX MORGUE - No More CD [Ars Benevola Mater] 12,00
(Atrax Morgue seems to have reached the terminal stage,
after more than 10 years of aberrant activity in music de-composing and
sound's murder. "No More" is a non-compromise work, a reflection of
a man that is watching his end, the cold analysis of the inutility of any
action. Obsessive, schizophrenic, violent minimal electronic sounds are a
soundtrack of a cold hell of nothingness and purity. But only words that can
explain this work are two and simple: No More.)

CIRCADIAN "Flanking the black moose"CD
[Radiotarab Records/Eibon] 12
(A pretty challenging listening experience. From the joint
efforts of Jason (NOTHING) and Scott(GRUNTSPLATTER) comes the hybrid creature
called CIRCADIAN. Schizo-noise ? Semi-glitch ?Power electronics ? Dark ambient
?All this and a lot more...... "Flanking the black moose" will
constantly keep you on the edge of an ever-evolving sonic experience by
defeating and escaping the usual structures of the genres. When I say "hybrid",
I really mean it....)
CLAUSTRUM & TRAUR ZOT - Returning To The Past By

some martial touch !high quality live recording by Latvian acts Claustrum and
Traur Zot .a big surprise to be discovered !!!)

compilation on Objective/Subjective. All remastered for this special release!)
CONTROL - The Means to an end CD [Eibon] 12
Redefining the concept of aural aggression.
Structured, multi-layered, hyper-complex power noise. Sharp like a surgical
scalpel and powerful like a demolition hammer, CONTROL music adds a new
meaning to the abused "power electronics" definition. The only good
way to describe "The means to an end" ? A fierce beast constrained (temporarily.....)
in a steel cage, far too small to contain its natural aggressiveness. The cage
won't last forever......)
CONTROL - Algolagnia
CD [Freak Animal] 12
(brutal powerelectronics)
CONVALESCENT - Before Sunrise ProCD-R [God is Myth REcords] 12
(This is the debut of a very dark and
mysterious project indeed. God is Myth Records is proud to have Convalescent
on board for this excellent releaseofsheer nihilistic-sounding dark ambient.
Get ready for an album shrouded in bleak mystery and utter darkness. While

such acts as CAUL and our own THE VICTIMS SHUDDER.)

DEATHPILE - G.R.
CD [Force of Nature/Hospital Prod.] 12
(After a long silence Deathpile returns with their first official full length
release focusing on the Green River Murders in Seattle from the early 1980?s.
Lyrics are written from the chronological perspective of the killer,exploring
key events and balancing truculent physical situations and aberrant
psychological terrain, with terse delivery.Nine tracks of dense and rushing
power electronics and sado-ambient atmospheres. Fierce, verging on hysterical
vocals and well placed and researched audio samples stand above thick and
violent synth beds. By far Deathpile?s most cohesive, strong, and obsessive
work fine turned with stark violent force and ritual atmosphere)

the feeling that you?re high in the mountains to go out. The air is being
crossed by toneless and icy sound, music motives are deep and sharp. Every
stream of sound will work out as if you, the listener, are in a trip of deep
emptiness.special dark DVD box.)

journey of classic Scandinavian darkambient, but with added outbursts of more

HIERONYMUS BOSCH - The Dream Songs CD [Fluttering Dragon] 12

life can bring. We call it "The Dream Songs".To illustrate the
concept and music we have compiled old photographs of children fighting in the

ILDFROST / UMBRA - "Possum Play Falcon"
CD [Fluttering Dragon] 12
(Conceptual split of two great bands whose principle is Contrast. it is Umbra

nighmare-like journey.)
