TEATRO
SATANICO – GOLD IN BLEI
(Treue
um Treue, TuT018, 7", 157 copies on gold vinyl,
157 copies on lead vinyl, in printed jacket, 2
tracks, hand-numbered)
Treue
um Treue is very proud indeed to present the
latest alchemical endeavour of Teatro Satanico,
the cult Italian project whose devilish wit and
magick electronics have been the talk of the
post-industrial scene for the last 20 years. On
“Gold in Blei”, they chose to invoke two of the
most infamous female figures of Germany’s recent
past, two parallel destinies, two deep wounds of
the German psyche: Ulrike Meinhof the fallen angel
and Ilse Koch the uprising demon. Staged with all
the flavour and cruel humour of a morbid nursery
rhyme, this unseemly yin yang put to a
post-revivalist technoid beat shows TS as
unpredictable and irreverent as ever. So, who is
Kasper and who the Devil? Don’t expect them to
tell you. The choice is yours between an EBM party
at the Stammhein prison and a 6 AM ecstasy
overdose at the Lagerkommandantur!
Deutsch-Italienische Freundschaft or hermetic
Electro Bunker Musick at its best.

TEATRO
SATANICO – XX
(NEDAC
Editions, # NDCA004, LP, blue vinyl, with
download-code, 7 tracks)
In
XX Teatro Satanico turns 20 and proposes five new
songs winking at the present with no nostalgia,
plus a couple of tracks witnessing their history
(the legendary "Comandante Bruno" and "Confesso
Tutto!"). Less dance-floor orientated than recent
works, "XX" is strongly reminiscent of 90s Italian
industrial and of what Ain Soph might have sounded
like today if Crucifige was still a member....

A
TERRIBLE SPLENDOUR -
POSEURS
(Desire
Records # DSR067LP, LP - white vinyl - 1 insert
- 11 tracks - ltd ed. of 300 copies)
A
Terrible Splendour are a London-based duo who
weave tales of blackmail and despair, of
cruelty and of heartbreak. Their sound is a
darkly luxurious synthesized pop. They make a
drama out of a crisis. Their live shows are a
theatre of love and death, with performances
drawing on Weimar-era cabaret. The band’s
limited edition cassette EP, released on
Desire in autumn 2012, sold out fast and left
audiences wanting more. Their wish is now
granted with the release of the band’s debut
album Poseurs, featuring 11 tracks ranging in
style from dissolute disco to sombre cabaret
musings. Resolutely modern synth sounds, in
turn lush and vicious, combine with lyrics
addressing the eternal themes of rebellion,
shame and the vagaries of outrageous fortune.

THOABATH
& SADR - INDICTOR
(Brave
Mysteries, # CQBL059)
Completely
thrilled by our first collaborative release, we
had no doubts about signing on for a second. This
time we find two entirely mysterious,
post-Industrial heavy steppers clashing against
one another in some of the most horrifying music
we have ever released. Riveting violence intrudes
upon wholly bleak atmospheres, whilst spurned on
by the oppressive and necrotic ceremonial
propulsion unleashed by this secret communication.
Thoabath is one of the unceasing torrents of dark
energy that emanate from the Sutekh Hexen enclave,
from the stinking pit across the San Francisco
Bay. Sadr is supreme tribal poly-rhythm tinged
orchestral post-Black Metal, hermetically tucked
away in parts unknown of thee old Northwest. The
swirling together of musical fluids by these two
conjurers is perfectly harrowing. What hath God
wrought? |

New

masterworks abstracted from electric guitar
bristle with life through the dense, rich and
detailed sonic expanse of Dimuzio's glorious
sound world. Vibrating wires inform a digital
musique concrete modus operandi replete with
unheard studio techniques which form a music
with a strong organic core, opening wide rooms
for pahantastic aural imaginations: like
flying over endless grounds of unknown origin,
sensing a heavy suction of extreme gravity,
moving towards a black hole center... or
driving into a totally dark mining tunnel with
all the metallic ore and dust around. These
are drones that live from the inside! Comes

SOVIETICA -
MAQUETAS Y DEMOS 1983-1984
(Atemporal,
AT-006- LP - black vinyl - 9 tracks - ltd ed. of
320 copies)
T.V.
Sovietica was an exploratory sound project
from Valencia (Spain) developed in 1983 in the
postpunk era, which built on the work of
“Neonada y Atentados”. From these beginnings
evolved a brief, dark and unsettled trajectory
based on sound effects inspired by electronic
German music, the darkest, most introspective
postpunk, moving towards “industrial” and
“anti-music” styles. The essence of its sound
combines the use of guitars and electric bass
with electronic instruments, acoustic
percussion, mechanical elements and vocals.
Confronting frequencies elaborated from
improvised riffs with vocal expression. Of the
same generation as bands such as Esplendor
Geometrico and Aviador Dro. The lost model,
now recovered in this work, demonstrates the
beginnings of Spanish synthpop with “Contacto
Telepatico”, the influence of New Wave in “La
matanza de los bebes foca”, moving towards the
conceptual project “Islandia” to which the
majority of the themes belong. “ Oxido en tus
ojos” (1984) draws to a close a period of work
for the band, probably in its most corrosive
moment.

TV
ZOMBIES from Paris, France, is the joined
effort of MACHINE MORTE (also known as
ZENOVONZAN) and SANTA ESPINA (who released an
album on Black Horizons and collaborated with
J. Weber as SUSA24). After a couple of
extremely limited 7-inches on their own
imprint Création Par Le Vide (which are
included on this album), here comes the first
long player of the French twosome. Feasting on
1930s Surrealism and early zombie flicks, TV
ZOMBIES succeed in creating a chilling
atmosphere of delicate spookiness, archaic
gloom and haggishness that will give you the
impression that some evil ghoulish creature is
right behind you, just about to drag you into
the smokey black swamp of modern mass media
hypnosis. Old fashioned organs, eerie HERMANN
KOPP’ian melodies and infernal sluggish loops
offer the perfect backdrop to Santa Espina’s
husky monotones, seeming to emerge from the
beyond, all summoning the monstrous Golem of
our modern times… This is the real unsurpassed
horror that lurks in this day and age. Are you
awake? Or are you still sleeping? more

Three

show us a definitely more electronic facet of
his unpredictable talent. A crystalline séance
in prog-elektro disguise, “The Skin I’m in” is
a truly unclassifiable album which addresses
both the body and the mind, playfully swaying
between post-cabaret electronica, freaked-out
analogue breaks and acid chill-out ditties. A
masterpiece of modern experimental
electronics, expect nothing but genius!

VEIL
OF LIGHT - HEAD / BLOOD / CHEST
(one copy left)
(Beläten,
MLP)
Veil
of Light is back with his first release since
the majestically morose album of last year
(now sold out). The new 12" EP contains a
quartet of songs that capture the artist's
signature air of serene and complex industrial
melancholy, yet widens the spectrum to include
glimpses of, dare I say, joy and hope. All the
more powerful, then, the main theme of dead
serious exploration of the emotional torso,
its appendages and circulatory system. The
title, Head/Blood/Chest, inevitably brings to
mind the seminal Throbbing Gristle album
Journey Through a Body. But the kinship ends
there. This is no experimental 1/2-inch tape
cacophony. This is beautiful and evocative
music, redolent with wonder. The bleak, yet
confident, tone echoes like the early literary
works of James Graham Ballard, particularly
The Drowned World (1963). Head/Blood/Chest is
a journey through an emotional as well as
visceral landscape, that arrives at the
conclusion that the two seemingly dualistic
properties are, perhaps, made of the same
basic stuff. A hauntingly atmospheric and
heart-swelling dreamscape, magnetically etched
into twelve inches of black vinyl.

Gorgeous new industrial odyssey from Samantha
Glass mainman Beau Devereaux. Victor Portsmouth is
an obsessive, power savvy work of historical
fiction. Doom and disciple are the new holy order
of his day. Six stately compositions of faded
memorials from the perspectives of the ghosts who
serve there. Imagine mixing the morbid numbness of
a Marco Corbelli project with the automatic
psychedelia of Maurizio Bianchi, all pumped up and
penned with the iron blood of the gutted poet
Mishima. A difficult series of contemplations will

With his Cineploit debut, Magnus Sellergren set
out to further and improve on the concept of
Videogram's previous "S/T" 2014 album. Starting
off with the now-familiar idents, "Pre-Cert"
covers an assortment of classic genre-influenced
sounds; from occult horror, 1980s Cannon action,
thrillers and post-apocalyptics to "cannibal
freakouts", Italian-produced erotica, 1970s
Spanish horror and the iconic Friday the 13th
series. The journey Videogram started in 2014 is
now taking a huge step forward, offering the same
amount of affection for the VHS format and genres
as his previous efforts, but more focused,
polished and well executed! |

“Murmurations”
is the newest offering of captivating folk
instrumentals from solo project of Hreodbeorht,
previously known from blackened thrash unit
CULTFINDER. Incorporating influences from Black
Metal along with a blend of pastoral neo-folk and
melodic ambient sensibilities, the project creates
a range of evocative atmospheres while retaining a
clearly rough hewn edge, an offering of stark
realism and unprocessed minimalism well suited for
self-imposed seclusion tactics or solitary nature
rite. Electric & acoustic guitars blend
triumphantly with sparse pounding percussion,
synthetic tone and textural field recordings to
create this raw masterpiece of modern bardship,
well keeping within traditional spheres but ever
edging towards the darkest shadows of our bleak
modern age. |

For

This latest trasmission is thematically derived
from the Necronomicon and the dynamic madness of
her chthonic lore. Blistering raw electronics

WETTERLÄUTEN
-
s/t
(Reue
um Reue # RuR035, LP - black vinyl - in foc + 6
postcards - 7 tracks - lim. ed. of 198,
hand-numbered)
There
were times, blessed times when man had not yet
lost the sense of his connection to both
Nature and the Sacred, when church bells used
to be heard across the countryside to banish
approaching storms from hamlets and villages.
In our Teutonic regions, this was called
“Wetterläuten” – the “chiming away” of bad
weather. Anyone who ever had the privilege of
experiencing the ecstatic and all-embracing
live improvisations of WERNER CEE (e-chin /
lapsteel guitar / electronics), NORBERT
GROSSMAN (synth / church organ) and EVA KORN
(gongs), will understand why the South-German
trio choose this archaic name for their
project. WETTERLÄUTEN’s atmospheric
manipulations range from dreamy sunset drones
to heavy pre-storm electricity to apocalyptic
orchestral deluge, penetrating and bringing
into motion the very cosmic fabric around
them. Their unmistakable sound owes much to
their unusual instrumentation, especially the
combination of e-chin (an electric version of
the ancestral Chinese Guqin zither) and live
electronics, and of course Eva’s virtuosic
gong playing. Understanding themselves more as
a musical concept than a band, WETTERLÄUTEN
regularly involve other musicians, especially
Norwegian guitarist ALF TERJE HANA and drummer
MICHAEL HOFMANN. Reue um Reue is excessively
proud to present their first ever official
release. Welcome in the eye of the cyclone.
