Nachtmystium
'Instinct:Decay'CD
Genre: USBM
Nachtmystium's third and highly-acclaimed full-length album, "Instinct: Decay" is a murky, psychedelic voyage into utter darkness.
I absolutely love this album. Totally progressive but still very much black metal. There's wailing riffs in here that remind me of Hendrix, melodies pahse in and out, one that even recalls part of 'Love Gun' by KISS, but maybe that's just me! Truly a marvelous piece of work as the band started to veer
further into psychedelic territory. Totally recommended. Not too avant to be annoying or weak in any way, this is just classic.

NEKRASOV
'Into The No-Mans-Sphere Of The Ancient Days' CD
Genre: black metal/dark ambient
Self-released debut album from this Australian atmospheric Black Metal / Noise / Dark Ambient act. "From the surreal, nightmare-evoking textures that speak to the
most ancient and basic part of our beings - that which understands without attaching judgment - to the unabashedly raw renditions of suffering brought on by the purposefully
unintelligible, wretched vocals and the seething guitar-work, the listener may draw parallels but will surely find no equal to what is found here. All assumptions you might make
as to the musical influences that may or may not have imprinted themselves upon this record may just as well be wrong. So simply listen and let the music wash over you".

NEKRASOV
'The Form Of Thought From Beast' CD
Genre: black metal/dark ambient
Second self-released opus from this Australian act. Raw, creepy, enigmatic black metal-meets-noise-meets-dark ambient. "Nekrasov is most definitely
a master of both the noise and the riff, and manages to fuse the two into something blackly transcendent... blown out soundscapes of samples and percussion,
blurred into a windswept buzz, what sounds like ghostlike vocals underneath processed sounds of whipping winds and the click clack of a railroad, to noise
drenched old school raw black metal crush, to slow burning deep ambience... Absolutely essential" (Aquarius). PVC sleeve.

NORDVARGR
'Pyrrhula' CD
Genre: noise/death ambient/drone
Partly based on an old Swedish folktale, Pyrrhula ("doomlord") is a pitch black journey into utter darkness. This is a tale of foreboding doom... a portent of dark times to come...
a blight on the face of this earth. These eight Black Ambient / Doom / Droneworks were brought forth from the abyss of Villa Bohult exclusively for Cold Spring and contain
the malevolent vocals of Lord Nordvargr himself!. "Beware the small creatures of light, they only bring misery and death upon the enlightened ones. For they will paint their breast with blood
and reap your unborn angels."

O'Malley & Csihar
'6Fskyquake' CD
Genre: noise/ambient
Stephen O'Malley: HP 200CD & Travis Bean / Fender Twin Reverb
Attila Csihar: Vocals
Total Time: 33:41
Produced for Banks Violette exhibitions at Barbara Gladstone & TEAM Galleries, NYC 28th June - 17th August 2007.
6Fskyquake is an audio composition designed in 2001 but explored in
conjunction with the american sculptor Banks Violette's solo shows in summer 2007. Actually, two shows at two different galleries, Barbara Gladstone & Team, running simultaneously for the duration. The interaction of sound and Violette's work revisited concepts touched in prior collaboration of loss, absence, residual energy of a missed evocative experience.
The composition was captured at a recording session during the installation process in Team gallery, and later transfered to Gladstone as recorded playback. Designed for 3 separate systems consisting of powered 18" subwoofers and PA tops, the entire composition runs a total of 8 hours and 35 minutes.
This room recording represents a possible stereo interpretation of a portion of that work.
The fifth collaboration between Stephen O'Malley & Banks Violette circulated amongst the main theme of sound as physical presence. Sound pressure in substantial space, relative dimension between concrete & perceptual mass, gravity induced by heightened sonic action and standing sub bass pressure. The contribution of lyrics, text & vocals by Attila Csihar inspired by his journeys inside imperial Tokyo bring emotive & meditative identity to the otherwise purely structural composition. For this we shall be blessed.
The ghost of presence subsists across physical space, the phantom of absence across linear finite, the shadow of mass via memories. What once was.

'Mahavishnu' CD
Genre:drone/ambient/electronica
"The majestic debut full length album from Sweden's Ondo. Intricate, textured doomed drone, blackened ambience and lush nocturnal electronica, delicately
crafted into a dark cinematic vision. A shadow dreamscape of overpowering density, akin to an intoxicating fusion of early Earth, Raison D'Etre and a touch
of the shimmering haze of Fennesz, perhaps? Presented as a limited edition of 500 copies only, in dvd presentation box with full colour art." - Paradigms

PITA
'Get Off' CD
Genre: ECM/electronica/noise
This is the fourth solo album from groundbreaking sound artist Pita (real name Peter Rehberg, also of KTL). His previous solo albums as Pita (all on the Mego label) have all been landmarks in electronic music. His sound ranges from furious to minimalistic, but always with the same uncompromising attitude. To be true to ones ideas when trends come and go is something admirable in every artist. "Get Off" is his most varied album to date.
Get Off was made over a two-year period, with most of the material originating from various 'live' situations. It was then compiled and completed during the summer of 2004 in relative isolation.
8 tracks, 35 minutes, nice packaging from the Hpna label.
...spacious yet harsh sounds...somewhere in the thermal pools between drone and noise. Although remaining on the difficult side of fringe music, this one still works like balsam for the warped mind, and its organic qualities are as mesmerizing as they are surprising. -
Mats Gustafsson, Broken Face.
Coming off somewhere like broken ambient with some beautiful and deranged parts, this is really great. Recommended.

POTOP
'Channels' CD
POTOP create seismic assaults of negative, down tempo extreme hardcore. In a world where the boundaries between hardcore punk and extreme metal have long since dissolved, POTOP straddle genres and easy labels to produce pure audio negativity, despair and ecstatic misery. Their sound combines hardcore urgency of extreme Power Violence acts such as DROP DEAD, CROSSED OUT and MAN IS THE BASTARD colliding with the slow motion brutal Doom of bands like BURNING WITCH. POTOP are fiercely DIY and have strong links with the global hardcore underground, typified by their hands-on involvement with the FUCK YOGA label.
"Channels", the band's first CD release, combines two tracks from the split 12" with the US band BURMESE and a further track from a forthcoming FUCK YOGA compilation LP with two previously unreleased dirges. POTOP are slow, blackened, ugly music.
"channels the slowest, ugliest sludge possible into narcotized dirges splattered with sickening feedback that drones on and on and on, twisted slow motion riffs, pounding glacial drums, occasionally blasting into short bursts of noisy, unstructured grind. But it's the vocals, that intense, tortured wailing and shrieking, a high pitched bloodflecked scream that oozes fear and horror and despair...it's the vocalsn that elevate Potop's extreme sludge to another level of seismic intensity, and I'd almost compare 'em to the idiosyncratic suicidal shrieks of Silencer. Think Burning Witch, Crossed Out, Eyehategod, Despise You, but more vile." - Crucial Blast
"I" (edit) sample.
Other notes: IRON PIG is proud to present "Channels" with the packaging entirely in the band's native Macedonian language, in Cyrillic characters.
The CD package will have an outer sticker with English language text.
Running time approx 30 minutes. IRON PIG records.

Professor
s/t 3" CD
Genre: grind/noise/metal
"On a European trek about ten years ago, a curious 7" was unearthed in a used record store. It had an amazing black and white cover, a painting of Golgotha, with the cross lost in a cloudy haze and surrounded by watercolored trees. The band was called Professor, their logo in splattery hand drawn Olde English. And the record was called The Academizer ep. One of the tracks was "Into The Auditorium". Suddenly thoughts of an evil black metal band made up entirely of doctoral scholars leapt to mind. Sort of the whole Carcass medical student thing, but with academia. This was just getting better and better. The record sat unplayed until returning to the States, where it finally made it onto the turntable. And holy shit! It was as good as the cover suggested it could be. A sloppy noisy blackened slab of Carcass worship. Blast beats and grinding guitars, howled gutteral vocals, and crushing heaviness.
Fierce and furious, stumbling and blasting drunkenly like a grinding blackened metallic juggernaut. Four tracks of crushing grind, pummelling crush and grinding pummel. Heavy and noisy and fucking great! Rumour was, that Professor was maybe a joke. But if that's true, this is some sick joke. Fans of Carcass, Drop Dead, grindcore, black metal, and all things heavy owe it to themselves to enter the auditorium, and bow before the Professor!!
This long lost, VERY out of print black/grind/thrash artifact is finally available on cd, on a 3" cd in fact, with the original 7" art (only smaller!)" - Andee, TUMULT
This is mental sounding: trash can/sewing machine drums, production by someone with no ears, truly retarded but amazing. If you are looking for fucked up, this is it. 3" CD in a mini jewel case, cute!

Peter Rehberg
'Work for GV: 2004 - 2008' CD
Genre: noise/electronics
Peter Rehberg's collaboration with the Paris based puppeteer and choreographer, Gisele Vienne began in 2001, with the production of the DACM piece 'ShowroomDummies', followed by 'Stereotypie' in 2003.
In 2004, Vienne started to direct under her own name and began to work on pieces collaborating on text with US author, Dennis Cooper. This CD is a document of selected audio parts of all Gisele Vienne
productions made between 2004 and 2008, except for the epic 'Kindertotenlieder', whose audio material was presented on the various KTL releases in 2006 and 2007 (eMEGO 084, eMEGO 085).
The range here is vast from the upfront noise excess of the 'I Apologize' (2004) tracks to the lonely synth passages which were used in 'Une Belle Enfant Blonde' (2005), and the sad coda used for
'Jerk', which began as a radio play for Radio France Culture in 2007, before being adapted for stage in 2008.
The opening 'Murder Version' is a version of the recording 'Meurtre' by Catherine Robbe-Grillet & Jonathan Capdevielle, which was released as a single sided 12" vinyl in 2005 (UBEB 001), and
is to be considered as a tribute to the Alain Robbe-Grillet film 'Glissements progressifs du plaisir' (1974).
Although this material was intended for consumption in a theatrical setting, it has been edited with domestic use in mind ultimately representing that the grey zone where puppetry,
literature, contemporary theatre & dance, visual art, and extreme computer music meet.

ALEX SANDERS
'A Witch Is Born' CD
Genre:spoken word/ritual
Alex Sanders (1926-1988) - "the King of the Witches" - was the most powerful witch in Britain. "Here, for the first time, he presents a full recording of the solemn initiation of
a new member into the ancient Craft. Assisting him is his wife and High Priestess, Maxine, and a coven of their young witches. Alex himself is a hereditary witch; he was initiated
by his grandmother when he was seven years old. For centuries the Craft was driven underground by persecution and intolerance. Today, though their innermost secrets may still be
only told to witches, they can open a few pages of their Book of Shadows - and for those who seek to know more of this faith that is older than history, they can set up signposts
to the way of Wicca, or wisdom. This record is such a signpost."

SILBERNACHT
'Liebe und Verfall: Die Hoffnun stirbt, die Liebe nicht' CD
"This one has been in the planning stages for a couple of years. Imagine a gloomy, old silent film. Imagine the soundtrack for that film. This CD would be the music you would hear.
Germany couldn't be a more appropriate home for SILBERNACHT, project of one Frank Esser, for this musical score seems to fit in perfectly with an era of film that is legendary the world over thanks to the genius of many a German filmmaker.
The release is on a 4-panel chipboard stock, with hand printed panels, is set up to look like the work received from Herr Esser over the years." - Ajna
Tracklisting:
1. Das Erwachen (The Awakening)
2. Liebe und Verfall (Love and Decay)
3. Unter den Sternen (Under the Stars)
4. Wenn der Tod nur Sehnsucht weckt (When Death only creates Longing)
This really is very good indeed and very unusual. Lots of reviews have mentioned various films that this brings to mind, but to my mind its "Carnival of Souls". This release is adrift in time, another great release from the ever
amazing Ajna.

STABAT MATER
'Stabat Mater' CD
Genre:blackened doom
"Debut full length of genocidal blackened deadly doom. No groove, no ambient-drone, etc. Just obscure discordant vibrating guitars, bass, drums and vocals creating real songs, pure soundtrack for withnessing crucifixion. Band known from split 10" w/ Worship, split 7" w/ Mournful Congregation, split LP with AM, V/A Crushing The Holy Trinity, etc.. This album is all new material and certainly progression forward, yet remaining
true to unpleasantly rough production values and non-entertaining approach." - Northern Heritage.
Miserable and strange. Worthy for eschewing the lazy doom drone thing, and very far from bluesy stoner doom (dude)...This is a strange beast with some sampled choral music, grim metallic atmospheric dirge and klang, warped organ... Excellent release.
Definitely worth picking up.

"David J. Smith (Guapo, Miasma & The Carousel Of Dead Horses) releases a second set of recordings as The Stargazer's Assistant. Following The Other Side of the Island on Aurora Borealis,
Shivers and Voids is a union of instrument, voice and tape. A soundtrack left waiting for the right film to accompany it
through the dark. Sweeping, intricate, sometimes ominous, yet always exuding a warmth of emotion. Ancient forests,
vast plains, billowing clouds, rusted metal hulks, wet rock walls, lights flickering in darkness. The Stargazer's
Assistant reveals all this to us." - Utech

from the debut album "The Sacred Truth" and two totally new pieces that are in a similar style to this dark masterpiece. Walton has stripped some of the songs to their bare

'amid devonia's alps' CD
Genre: guitar drone/outrock/Heavy Rural
"Urthona is back with their devastating second album AMID DEVONIAS ALPS, three incredible slabs of rural Luddite VU overload from
deep in the heart of Wessex. Within the fiery soul of this Urthona music, there's a holy beauty that transcends its many
contemporaries, as colossal guitars intertwine around the base of listeners minds, lifting them skywards like a magical beanstalk
ride. Sumptuously packaged in the same fashion as last years Head Heritage album I REFUTE IT THUS, Urthonas music is the Ult in
meditative aids, and a freight-train ride to oblivion." - Julian Cope
"Almost 60 minutes of soaring, unrelenting guitar worship and field recordings from deepest Dartmoor. Three enormous tracks...commencing with an
Ur-garage racket that conjures up visions of the Barrett Floyd hammering T. Dreams early 45 Ultima Thule, before plateauing out
into two exceedingly beautiful and enormously vast eternities of axe overload, ernie-ernieing seagull dives, digital distortion and
microphonic feedback somewhere along the lines of Nadja, To Blacken The Pages and the Angelic Process, but even better and even more
useful." - Further

the result is a fine and coherent whole, full of extended textures, contrasted acoustic surfaces, subtle and strong.
Idioscapes contains 70 minutes of authentic acoustic researches, with glitches, loops, noises, deep and glittering textures, subliminal
frequences and narrative inserts, punctured with sensible musical moments.
Idiosyncratics is honoured to present these sound masters on idioscapes. infinite thanks to all of them."

VELNIAS
'Sovereign Nocturnal' digi CD
Genre:blackened doom
"God is Myth Records is proud to present Illinois based blacked doom outfit VELNIAS. The bands music can be best described as a combination of sorrowful
black metal with a very doomy atmosphere, combined with elements of folk. Although the band definately has their own sound, one could easily find
comparisons to bands like OPETH, AGALLOCH, PRIMORDIAL & WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM.
'Sovereign Nocturnal', the bands debut album is miles ahead of their 2007 demo 'Pacing the Cyclic Nether' in terms of maturity, songcraft & production.
With the three songs combining for a total running time of 41 minutes & 15 seconds the emphasis has been laid upon a musical foundation of progressive
yet feral riffs intertwining with delicate passages that only make the heavier parts that much more potent, not unlike early Opeth & Agalloch! Combined
with lyrical content based upon the premise that the human race is insignificant compared to the grand power and prestige of nature this is a debut album
that should not be dismissed!" - God Is Myth.
Definitely one for fans of the emergent Cascadian scene.

VOM
'Primitive Arts' CD
Genre: noise/doom/drone
"First full-length album by this Glasgow-based post-goth trio, and one of my absolute favourite At War releases ever! Building on their two-track CDr on Kovorox from a couple of
years ago, Vom have come out with a much more attractive proposition than the metal/krautrock hybrid which was going on there; this album is much more focussed, dark and heavy.
In fact it's as brooding and dripping with dark atmosphere as anything I've heard released in ages. Like a hybrid of Scream-era Siouxsie And The Banshees, early X-Mal Deustchland and the
first Killing Joke LP, with vocals buried deep in the mix and heavily distorted (think Ramleh's early post-PE stage), Vom reference a lot of music yet sound nothing like you've ever heard.
Total intensity and they deserve to be huge; hopefully this will be the first step on the jourey.

describe the sheer brutality of either the concept of Vomir's music or indeed the sound of the music itself. It's long, it does not
change, and it leaves me with a feeling of intense loss and depression afterward. Truly some of the most powerful music I know.
For Vomir there is nothing, and this is how he makes that statement. It's an ugly listen for sure, but well worth the effort.

Seattle and New York, Westering have created a cold, urban dreamscape of isolationist black metal, claustrophic ambience filtered through a haze of frozen bliss and driving
rhythms and percussion that remind us of early Cure or Joy Division in part. A wonderful headphone experience for appreciators of Lifelover, Amesoeurs, Alcest and Swans,
perhaps. Mastered by Mell Dettmer (Sunn O)), Wolves In The Throne Room) and presented in beautiful, minimalist wrap around card sleeve and wallet." - Paradigms

This album is a musical extension of a soundtrack produced by Y.E.R.M.O. in collaboration with conceptual and visual artists Nadine Hilbert &
Gast Bouschet for the Luxembourg Pavilion at the 53rd Venice Biennale (running till november 2009).
The music is an invocation of the coldness and cruelty of a borderzone between two worlds and a transmutation of fear into euphoria.
The album is a unique piece of immersive ritual sounds, dominated by loud, distorded guitars, hypnotic percussions and industrial drones within
rain-soaked Mediterranean landscapes.
