Cold Spring are proud to announce the debut album from All Hail The Transcending Ghost - a joint collaboration between Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Toroidh, Folkstorm etc) and Tim Bertilsson (Fear Falls Burning, Switchblade). Together the Swedish legends have created arguably one of the most haunting drone-dark-ambient-industrial works in recent years, invoking the spirits of old Nordvargr, meets the sludge-doom vibe of Tim's hellish guitar. This has to be the most unsettling work from Nordvargr, as the man himself states "truly the most scary music I have recorded". An icy chill down your spine... a cold hand on your shoulder... you are never alone in the darkness.

The soundtrack to the End Times!
Babylone Chaos- Les Machines Ecarlates CD $12.00
"A man with a fish eye stared at me when I satisfied my computer with this CD. The artwork on this release is awesome, something which is thoughtful to do when you release your CD in a DVD case. On the front of “les machines ecarlates” stands a man pierced through his forehead with a huge piece of piping. On the back a man with a fish eye gives me a look, which keeps me away from the track listing underneath it. I must say, it pleases me to receive such artwork, I could write a good review about the artwork alone.
Babylone Chaos is new to me, not only as an artist, but the music is very new to me too. Listening to the first track “Dissect me” I got very enthusiastic. This artist knows how to frighten someone with sounds. Electronic heavy sounds flow back and forth while strange ‘ahhh’s and ‘oohh’s can be heard. A shivering breath, winds and strange electronic drums complete the picture. Shocked awake by a heavy pound on a barrel and a cracking door. Where am I at this point? The gruesome sounds I heard before are overtaken by heavenly sounds, birds and some vocals. But it was a short victory, the dark sounds kick in again and the beat starts to get back at me. I am stunned, this is not music, this is straight on sound-engineering! The second track “Scared datas” goes like the first track, but gets more of a triphop sound. Dark triphop, that could become a trend. Count me in for that genre, because what Babylone Chaos is doing here is new, refreshing and awesome. The third track “Blood on thorns” gets a lot noisier than the previous tracks and is suddenly petrifying when circus music starts. (I always had something against the circus and clowns, don’t ask why.)
Listening to the CD I found that Babylone Chaos can be compared, in a strange way, with Aphex Twin. You can hear beats, but they never last longer than a few measures. That is one of the reasons why this CD sounds so great. Babylone Chaos doesn’t care about being tagged with a genre; the artist just does what he wants. The CD isn’t one you listen to on a regular occasion. Listening to “les machines exerlates” is a trip. A trip to the beautiful, the ugly, the frightening the heaven and the hell. As I continued my exploration, I found even more interesting material. The piano pieces in the fifth track “Death crusade” are so strange. It doesn’t fit with the music, but in some way it jet [i]does[/i] fit. The tender background sounds are divided and shattered to pieces by deep noisy scrapes, pounds and scratches. This is music which can be compared with using acid. But please dear reader; don’t use it at the same time!
The tracks go well into each other, although that isn’t hard with such experimental music. Track eight, “Paranoiac morons”, made me think of a scene in the Kubrick movie “Full metal jacket”, where Joker tries to find the sniper who turns out to be a woman. I’ve always found that scene and especially, the music, incredible. But I think “Paranoiac morons” would be even better as a soundtrack to that scene.
As an overall thought I must say that this release surprised me muchly. The packaging is awesome, although I can’t stand it when a CD doesn’t fit between the regular jewel cases and digipacks. The music is refreshing and “les machines ecarlates” is more like a piece of art then a CD filled with songs. “Les machines ecarlates” brings you to the verge of your life, a leap of faith, a trip to hell and back and leaves the unprepared to wonder. This isn’t my regular “sing along in the shower” CD, this is something I admire, treasure for the special moments and certainly use in tiny portions. All those experimental fans out there, beware! “Les machines ecarlates” gives you the journey of a lifetime." [Heathen Harvest]
Bereft- Your Messiah Will Fail CD $12.00
BloodLust! is pleased to announce the release of the new Bereft CD, "Your Messiah Will Fail," a full-length recording, which at long last, follows the private series 7-inch, "Tough Man" b/w "Religious Leaders" [B!066, November 2006]. The sound on this new album takes a far more confrontational approach, compared to the single, which had a darker, more death-industrial feel to it. "Your Messiah Will Fail" is certainly one of the most straightforward power-electronics recordings that BloodLust! has released in quite some time, and it falls somewhere alongside the high-fidelity assault of the recent Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck 7-inch and the classic P.E. approach of Slogun -- all the while maintaining its own personality and style.

Bisclaveret - Psyche NoMine CD $12.00
Edition of 1000 copies. Special 3 panels folded cardboard packing + postcard. Pressed CD. Release date: 11th of December 2007.
Dark ambient
Bisclaveret - A Polish dark ambient/dark wave duo presents its album Psyche noMine. It took two years to conceive, resulting in 6 songs (clocking at around 53 minutes). Musically, it's a piece for those interested in moving, yet extraordinary art. Lush strings, industrial rhythms and even noise tones at times summarize the background for Dragos' voice coming from the other, subconscious side of his mind. Lyrically, it's a concept-album of sorts. All the lyrics deal with human sub consciousness. The words on 'Psyche noMine' shows a man entangled in the arcane of the world, somebody who does not notice phenomena around him. The man whose recklessness or even arrogance so natural for him is the cause for him being lost in the surrounding reality. The album's ambiguous title suggests what receivers will deal with when listening to new Bisclaveret album. A must-have album for fans of Nordvargr, Dead Man's Hill and Cold Meat Industry acts, such as In Slaughter Natives & Sanctum.

Collapsar- Beyond the Event Horizon CD $12.00
With their debut CD, “Beyond The Event Horizon” Collapsar transports the listener on an epic journey deep into the cosmos, forging a path across a vast, inky void, and steering a course around a roiling galactic core of hyper-dense stars and black holes. The sound is epic, expansive, and most of all, HEAVY. There is beauty and tranquility within these realms, but there is no light – just massive, pulsating textures coalescing into shimmering drones, rippling sound waves, and billowing, multi-dimensional layers of powerful dark energy. “Beyond the Event Horizon” is without question, dark ambient in its purest form and one of the more genre defining releases of the last several years. A must for fans of Inade, Lustmord and the like.

By far Deathpile's most cohesive, strong, and obsessive work fine turned with stark violent force and ritual atmosphere. Not to be missed for fans of sadistic power electronics!
Dominator- Back for More CD $13.00
Traditional English power electronics at its very best, stocked with extreme sexual content over streams of background noise. Sick stuff, which should appeal to fans of Con-Dom and Sutcliffe Jugend.

Freeze Etch- Vessels CD $12.00
Over four years in the making and clocking in at just over an hour -- Vessels, the first proper full-length Freeze Etch album, is a dynamic excursion into a world of thick organic rhythms, striking melodic textures, and surging ambient momentum. By turns sparkling and pristine and by others ugly and smoldering, Vessels explores the brooding tensions between dynamically opposed auras, employing textures which are at once terrestrial and alien, as well as melodic structures which merge skilled composition with the ambiguous flood of drone.

Gerostenkorp- Terre Brulee CD $12.00
With feminine howls and sultry susurrus to mollify crushing rhythms and the simmering experimentative noise the album makes for a more accessible listen. A quartet of vocalists work on various tracks, Terre Brulée remains a tightly knit opus despite what could be inferred by disparate voices. Daniel Larose’s treatment of the vocals melds them as another instrument with the vocals ranging high registers while he misshapes the low.The six panel digipak is a sumptuous decadence of artwork, with decayed full colour artwork of naked flesh enwrapped in ephemeral tendrils of smoke against a pitted and scarred earth. The three panel spread of an outstretched arm snaked with coiling wisps within the digipak, especially tastefully appointed."

Hated Bruit Kollektiv- Aktion One CD $12.00
HBK is an ephemeric project held among musicians behind Genetic Transmission, Moan and Nojsens. Three minds, three individualities, tree artists sharing one inspired vision. These are people we know for years so it became somehow natural to invite their bastard child to our NN therapy group finally, starting the "Harsh Kontakt" series of relases from now on.
The sound sculpture presented hereby has been captured at Bez Kontroli Fest 2007 as probably HBK's best gig to date. Expect the unexpected, as they have gone the whole hog, without no mercy to the audience or themselves. OK, it's all there: refreshing traditional industrial, warming harsh noise, stoned bruitist plunderphonics, and last but not least—good taste and the fucking clue, VSOP.

Hollowing/Marspitter- Habashira CD $12.00
A sonic eulogy to the civilization that mankind is racing to bury beneath it's lack of understanding and commanding avarice. A multi-faceted electronic work incorporating violent noise, ambient neoclassical arrangements with mind-numbing drone and ferocious tribal rhythms. A true journey, leaving the listener horrified, but too exhausted to stand. Hollowing presents 4 tracks, swelling with polyrhythms, explosive musical arrangements, swirling death-ambient passages, as well as more subtle, musique concrete material. Marspiter is an unearthed innovator of the neoclassical sound; three tracks of moody, hypnotizing musical creations, buried beneath a fog of reverb and bass creating a dreamlike state. Marspiter's sounds are uniquely signature, in that his methods seem obscure, his arrangements are cloudy yet precise, and the effect is daunting.
Packaged in standard jewelcase format. Total running time: 60 min.
Hollowing/Maor Appelbaum- Collaborating Torture CD $12.00
"Collaborating Torture" is one of the last known recordings made by Matt Gibney (Hollowing), who died in January 2006. Gibney, a member of SOIHADTOSHOOTHIM and label boss of the Rectrix label, was joined here by the prolific Maor Appelbaum (Grave in the Sky, Poochaltz, Vectorscope) to create a brooding and massive 54-minute track of dark, pitch-black ambient, hypnagogic swirls and industrialised drones. Sometimes subtle, yet mostly haunted and delirious, this is highly recommended if you like Wilt, Aidan Baker, Z'EV, Daniel Menche and John Duncan.

Mixed by J Havukainen (IN SLAUGHTER NATIVES).
Inner Vision Laboratory/Roto Visage- Cinema Stain CDR $11.00
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.

Judas Iscariot- Heaven in Flames CD $12.00
Judas Iscariot comes from a small yet elite element of the black metal underground that puts diabolic ideology and anti-Christian philosophy before anything else. In denying the superficial reqrds of the materialistic music industry, Judas Iscariot conjures hatred and violence from the depths of the underground.

Overlook Hotel heralds the return of the mighty KNO, the collaborative project between Swedish industrial legend Peter Nystrom (Megaptera, Negru Voda), and Norwegian up and comer Kristoffer Oustad (V:28, Plague Machinery). 5 years after the highly acclaimed brakeHEAD CD, KNO welcomes you into the Overlook Hotel, where every room has a ghost, and every room has a story to tell. Travel the hallways and explore, as you venture into a more cerebral musical state than what brakeHEAD offered, where ghostly transmissions and hypnotic layers of surreal, ethereal atmospheres intersect with disembodied voices, clattering, furnace blasting percussion, and of course, healthy injections of true, old fashioned industrial noise and sweeping doom, done in the best Scandinavian style (imagine if Deutsch Nepal had continued in the same path laid down by Benevolence and you start to get the idea). The pacing of the album is truly impeccable, flowing seamlessly from to track, as if moving from room to room in a hazy, dream state, the layering and cohesiveness on a whole nothing short of meticulous.
Klinikal Skum- Chosen Powerless CD $12.00
The new full-length album from death industrial recluse Ryan Oppermann, perhaps best known for his work as REDROT and NEUNTÖTER DER PLAGE. Under KLINIKAL SKUM, Oppermann focuses heavy analogue electronics on the topics of mental illness (in particular, paranoid schizophrenia), and the negative aspects of psychiatric treatment.
Over the course of five tracks of extended length, intricate layers of analogue synthesizers and corroded electronics dissolve into each other, giving way to vague melodies, distant voices, and sickly pulsations beneath the sheets of heavy medication. A major step forward from the dismal, minimal sound of previous works, these are obsessive compositions and diseased atmospheres in high-fidelity. Through a decisive pathology of unsettling textures, suffocating ambience, and absolutely mind-numbing low-end, Oppermann works within the tradition established by many of the classic, death-obsessed acts of the past, bringing to mind the likes of Atrax Morgue and Slaughter Productions, Premature Ejaculation, and the earlier works of both Brighter Death Now and SPK, all while maintaining his own psychotic presence.Following a handful of deeply obscure cassette and CDr releases, 'Chosen Powerless' is the first KLINIKAL SKUM release on proper compact disc.
Klier, Cordell- Apparitions CD $12.00
Razorsharp beats and low frequencies for this album by Cordell Klier, this time under his own name. Very dynamic, precise and exciting click'n'glitch, creatingverydeep and encompassing tracks: a sombre and extremely precise album arranged with the care of a brain surgeon.
Knurl - Nervescrap CD $8.00
In Nervescrap, Knurl explores not only the textures of sounds, however, but the tones that can be coaxed from the materials. These are not synthesized tones matching specific frequencies--that would defeat the purpose--instead, the irregular, natural harmonics escaping the metal surfaces interact between layers in each composition to develop a dare-I-say "melodic" core.
Kotkavuori, Tapio - Terra Hyperborea CD $12.00
Terra Hyperborea contains a selection of Kotkavuori's sound-magical Workings recorded in 2001CE. At the time, recordings were made under the project name Vaskikäärme.

Kinetix - Gestalsystem 01 ::Possible Forms:: 2 X CD $13.00

It includes sixteen electronic compositions of identical length [5'20"] for a total time of 42'42" for each CD. This work is conceived in order that every track of each record could play as second layer on every track of the other one. For this reason, the tracks hasn’t neither title nor a pre-arranged sequential order.
Kerovnian - From the Depths of Heron CD $12.00
Dark and haunting ambient from Eastern Europe.
Lopez, Francisco - El Dia anterior 3" CD $10.00
This mcd, placed within Francisco López more silence oriented pieces, is a new approach to his soft and abstract conception of the world as a generator of sound.Within the audible texture, the drone comes and lies down on a bed of a subtle pulse. The composition then develops in a progressively but dramatic way. On a single breath, the sole theme of constant intensity fills the hears with velvet bass tones.The Spanish composer working closer to silence, within the physical boundaries of sound, exploring our fascination for the lower frequencies.
Le Depeupleur - Disambiguation CD $12.00

Menche, Daniel- Wings on Fire CD $13.00
Extreme ambient in a textured gatefold sleeve, strictly limited to 555. Scorching and searing drones, heated and flaming rhythms and a burning ritualistic sonic force to be reckoned with. This is Daniel Menche's "Wings on Fire" and this noise inferno soars with volume and intensity that makes it the unheard soundtrack for the flight of Icarus - that is, if his wings did not melt and he did actually fly to the sun. This is Daniel Menche at his most ferocious sonic exploration. Call it extreme ambient or gorgeous noise, Wings on Fire is a must-have release to incinerate the speakers and melt the listener to a beautiful submission of sonic power.
Minamata- Niigata CD $13.00
Re-issue of the third tape of this legendary French group, originally recorded in 1985 and released on the cult French label LES NOUVELLES PROPAGANDES as N.P.002 in 1986.

Monopium- Mesmerized CD $13.00
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...?
Moljebka Pvlse - Sadalsuud CD $12.00
The name Sadalsuud refers to a star of the same name in the constellation of Aquarius. The name comes from an Arabic phrase meaning "the luckiest of them all". Nevertheless the album is rather earthy-sounding, yet mystical and surreal, almost claustrophobic at times. The sound is vaguely reminiscent of some works by Nurse With Wound, Maeror Tri or The Hafler Trio, but carries the trademark Moljebka Pvlse feel. An unsuspecting pre-listener described Sadalsuud as "a visit to a supposedly haunted house, though only once you've entered the house you begin to grasp the real meaning of haunting."

Ghosts of the Soul Long Lost is the title used to harness out of print, rare and unreleased archival material by long standing dark industrial act Murderous Vision. This second volume in the series contains two full length albums and bonus tracks that showcase the more Death Ambient and Neo-Classical side of the project. Disc one is an unreleased album written and recorded from 2006-2008 called "Cathartic Drifts in a Sea of Sadness". Sonically this slab of melancholia features many elements familiar to the Murderous Vision sound, plus some new elements and a much more composed overall sound. Tracks like "In Hell We Will Burn Together" and "Order Born from Chaos" dive headlong into meticulously programmed Dark Classical pieces, while tracks like "Upon Both Flesh and Soil" and "Structures and Pathways" further strengthen the traditional Murderous Vision Dark-Ambient sound. Disc Two contains the out of print album from 2009, "Frozen in Morphia". Showcasing the neo-classical elements in the forefront with a grinding underbelly of post-industrial textures and demonic vocal drifts. Features 2 bonus tracks, not included on the original release. These two cds work together almost as companion albums, which was not intended when they were composed, but became apparent once compiled together. Packed in a standard double jewel case, 6 panel book with original artwork by Rebecca Potter (Cunting Daughters)135 minutes of material for one low price! Limited to 500 copies.

The early works (1991-1992) from this now very well known by its organic drone ambient soundscapes project of Peter Andersson (Raison d'etre), but you can't find slow ambient passages on this CD. This music must be described as Modern Classical or Gothic if we talk about its sad and mysterious nature. These tunes remind a bit of his main project Raison D'etre but yet more powerful and majestic. Beautiful and Melancholic compositions to take your soul to other dimensions! Could find appeal with fans of In The Nursery, Nouvelles Lectures Cosmopolites, early Ildfrost, Penitent, Endvra, Arcana or even the gothic icon Dead Can Dance. Die for this record!!!
Niko Scorpio - Escape From Heaven CD $12.00
Escape from Heaven is the fruit of a lengthy period of hard work, the music has been composed in 2000-2005. The musick could be described as 'industrial', mostly because it pays homage to the early Industrial groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Coil or Psychic TV by being a wide-ranged beast of experimentation as well as fusion of diverse styles.

Of Swine and Swill- S/T CD $12.00
Like an ancient bottle of Absinthe found buried in some dark cellar, you’ve discovered something very unique here. Elements of the classics, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Hawkwind perfume the air as an aural louche, sonic clouds swirling with Industrial soundscapes a la Deutsch Nepal or In Slaughter Natives, with a touch of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Stephen Petrus (Murderous Vision) and John Potter (Flintknap/Murderous Vision) created the initial concepts for Of Swine and Swill as childhood friends. Musical discussions turned to all night experimentations. Recording sessions turned into weekends, then weeks of nothing but the music. Over the course of the summer of ’08, Stephen and John blended their rock and electronic roots into a finely honed project, with over an hour of material recorded. With the addition of Rick Pflueger (Reichardt Van Grieken, Rambler 454) contributing vocals on two tracks, and eventually joining the project full time, the circle has been made complete.Without the constraints nor boundaries of any one genre, the music of Of Swine and Swill is very personal, introspective and emotional, a palette of color, aggressive yet subtle. Atmospheric, yet never a passive listen!
The album features a 8 page full color booklet, which includes all lyrics and artwork by both John and Stephen. Limited to 1000 Professionally replicated copies.
Omenya - Ancient Rights CD $12.00
Heavily influenced by early Zoviet France and then later Rapoon, Mark Davis' music reflects and incorporates his interest in the esoteric rituals and ceremonies of various world religions. The mood is rather solemn; the tranquil music invites reflection. The music on this album never becomes wild or spectacular, just minimal, rather distant ritual ambient music. Organic and electronic means together create a quite interesting soundscape.
Oblivion Ensemble - Seraphim Hallucino CD $12.00
These improvisations are sculpted and sampled, twisted and turned, shaped into building and diminishing moments, and, at times appearing alone, pure and unmodified. Deeply imbedded in the music and fragmented lyrics are secrets, intertwining themes, voices, and imprinted messages. All come together to create an enormously complex, mercurial mix of surreal, dynamic and dark sounds. To fully appreciate the scope and intricacies of Seraphim Hallucino, headphones in a darkened room are highly recommended.
Origami Galaktika/I: Wound/Inderst Elia - Monolake CD $12.00
Reissue of some fantastic live collaborations between these artists. From deep gutting ambient to rioutous beauty and weirdness.

Per Aspera- Nil Desperandum CD $12.00
Eerie industrial atmosphere seamlessly blends with serene harmonies of almost orchestral form. Cinematic, monstrous drone formations morph into pulsating abyss of dissonant disturbances and uncompromised sonic experiments, overlaid by subtle beauty of human voice and minimalist acoustic instrumentation.
Panzar - Pratotypon CD $12.00
Peter Andersson's death industrial project. Very similar to heavier BDN.
Premature Ejaculation - Anesthesia CD $12.00
Ambient project of the late Rozz Williams.
Phaenon - Submerged CD $12.00
With the debut release from Phaenon, it is immediately evident a heavyweight has arrived. The brainchild of Polish born, but current Maryland resident, Szymon Tankiewicz, Submerged is a dark ambient tour de force. Visually and sonically enveloping, this is an album of space and texture, slowly revealing a psychoactive soundscape of majestic, arcing timbres, circadian buzzes, and expansive drones. Heavy, and cosmically weighty in the beginning, Submerged evolves into something more minimalist and serene, radiating a celestial beauty, yet becoming even more bleak and suffocating as it progresses over it‘s 66 minute time frame. Experienced from start to finished, there’s a palpable sense of drifting and drowning, of being carried away into an endless, interstellar vacuum.
Phragments - The Burning World CD $12.00
Edition of 1000 copies. Special 3 panels folded cardboard packing. Pressed CD. Release date: 31t of July 2007.

Radiodrama - Autopsy Number 9 CD $12.00
Horror film based noise industrial. Great concept, great release!!!
Reptiljan - The Hellbender Suite CD $12.00
The Hellbender Suite is a half-an-hour package of compressed energy, a dirty bomb purifying both mind and soul. In Pangrenade, blastbeats get layered over and over again, growing into an aggressive wall of sound, which collapses under its own weight in order to rise up again. Freegulls is arrogantly pilfering a recent hit, bending it into unrecognizable knots. Outauguration of the Chimp Zombie is an instinctual regurgitation on world politics pouring straight out from the spine... All in all, 11 tracks and 28 minutes.
Rukkanor - Deora CD $12.00
Brings original mix of styles and cultures. Oriental melodies and rhythms, live percussions and synthetic beats, ethereal sounds and electromilitary marches, gregorian and muezzin chants, symphonic instruments and jazzy clarinet.

7 years went by since the last album from this Austrian Cold-Electronic project was released.

"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.

Skrol- Insomnia Dei CD $10.00
This Czech project composes industrial music in the purest tradition of the ancestors! It makes me think to a kind of hybrid between the symphonic tunes of Test Dept and the oppressive, bombastic rhythms of Laibach and Swans! From start on, you get surrounded by powerful industrial blasts leaded through the screaming propaganda-vocals, which still remind to Test Dept and Laibach!
Sian- Sink/Assign CD $12.00
Aube + Shoei Iwasaki of Monde Bruits.

Schmerz- Old School Misanthropy CD $12.00
Old School Misanthropy is a debut release by a new band formed out of three individuals running their notorious noise mongering projects as Leichenhalle, Mantichora and Sujoy. Schmerz unifies their sound–abrassive struggle in another form. Right form the start it has been pretty obvious that after several initial rehearsals and spontaneous live-without-audience recording sessions they will came up with nothing else than deliciously rough and grinding, industrialised power electronics noise mayhem with angry screamings and insane scansion of profound lyrics. Intentional use of limited variety of tools like analog synthesizers, mangled electronics, processed feedback, metal junk abuse and pissed off attitude has brought Schmerz back to simple, yet effective basics. Such approach is kind of hard to came across nowadays which makes this album a gem. Yes, this is a brutal stuff. And yes, you'll love this.

Telepherique- Slowmotion CD $12.00
"Telepherique, one of Germany's most recognizable names, has returned with another masterpiece. After almost one-hundred
releases over the last eightteen year on many respected labels like Ant-Zen, MSBR and Old Euroupa Cafe, Force of Nature is honored to
present 'Slowmotion'. Telepherique's new album 'Slowmotion' is not the first album in which a critical view on society is presented to the listener. For example with the project Telerotor they released 'Modern Times' and 'Mobility', two highly conceptual albums with a vision on the hasty life and connectivity in modern times. But in contradiction with their earlier social conscious albums, 'Slowmotion' has a ritualistic ambient flow which enforces the listener to take it a step down; To see and live things in 'Slowmotion'. It is well said on the inlay: "This CD is dedicated to all the people who try to simplify their life in modern times, marked with materialism, business, stress and sickness". The eight tracks have notitles but they are divided into three 'steps', being "Out of balance", "Down shifting" and "Fountain of flow". The whole results in a ritualistic, flowing album with moments of rhythm, ambience and complex soundscapes." [label info]

Tribal-Ethno-Ambient is a genre merging musical forms and cultural sensibilities of the world's indigenous cultures sent through the filters of today's sound artists. By using state-of-the-art recording tools and processing technology, common ground is found between animal skin drum, the shaman's rattle and the digital domain. While the outlines of this style can be easily suggested and co-opted through more superficial cut and paste computer methods, RADIOFOREST shows that Testa clearly understands how powerful the authentic ethno-ambient form can be when created with a deep sense of the primal mind. Shifting trance percussion, ocarina, flutes, and synth textures co-mingle with field recordings from Mexico, Africa and Italy. In Antonio's words, the "radio" aspect is the music or the tribal drum transmitting outwards, a calling of the spirits to help the state of our planet.

Vomit Arsonist, The- Wretch CD $12.00
"Wretch" is brought to you in partnership with Cipher Productions and represents a journey through the mind of Andrew Grant, aka The Vomit Arsonist. A decidedly personal and unnerving recording, "Wretch" was written during a period of mental instability that lasted nearly two years. The result is a release that bleeds raw emotion: loss, hatred, self-loathing, and reflection; starting at rock bottom with waves of dark ambiance and quietly spoken words, moving further into the depths of a tortured mind. The result is a gradual advance into forceful, vengeful power electronics.
