1997EV - ZETA RETICULI
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 017, LP - marbled dark red / glittering ornage / gold-marbled transparent vinyl - 9 tracks - lim. edition of 315 copies)

Four years and several intense live appearances after their much acclaimed debut CD on Punch Records, 1997EV are back, this time on vinyl, with a new masterpiece of pure minimal post-psychedelia. “Zeta Reticuli” is a long, dark, trance inducing ritual journey verging on astral bad trip. Spooky, spacey, percussion-driven and guitar-loaded ballads unfold with a Voivod-like weirdness in the back of your mind, served by AndreaEV’s deep, hypnotizing vocals and an occasional drift of intoxicating Theremin sounds. Reminiscent of Goblin and S/T, with a hint of Earth and an overall feel of early Ordo Equilibrio on LSD, those hallucinogenic cosmic flowers will leave their imprint burnt on the retina of your inner eye long after the record has stopped spinning. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

AIDAN BAKER - BACH EINGESCHALTET, VIERTER BAND
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 020, 7" EP - clear silver grey vinyl - 2 tracks - lim. ed. 166 hand-numbered copies)

The fourth instalment of “Bach Eingeschaltet” by Canadian guitar-drone hero AIDAN BAKER is a double-edged sword: his interpretations of the maestro are both the closest to the originals, almost academic in execution, and in the end the most deconstructive. The live arrangement for electric guitar of the famous cello suite Prelude slowly but surely drowns in a mist of effects abuse, while the epic and lush metal-drone version of a menuet is carried away by NADJAesque lumbering guitar chords in streams of boundless distortion. mp3 mp3

BEX - ROSEGGER
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 022, LP - chrystal clear vinyl - 5 tracks - lim. ed. of 200 hand-numbered)

Third opus by Berlin-based one-man project Bex. Originally from France, Bex has released two CDs on the French label “Le Dernier Cri” and played a great many concerts throughout Europe since his first live gig back in 2006. “Rosegger” is his first vinyl appearance, his most luminous and most intense work to date. As if emerging through some hermetic transformation from the harshness and anger of the previous albums, “Rosegger” is ablaze with a radiant, almost ecstatic mixture of joy and grief, drenched in light even in its darkest moments. Melodic guitarscapes and distant shoegaze vocals between lament and incantations pour over the listener, filling every pore, vein and cell with a warm, brittle, spellbinding emotion, taking him adrift on luminous waters which progressively darken on side B, finally drowning the incandescence into deep pools of doom drones like a glorious, achingly beautiful sunset. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

CLAIR CASSIS - CLAIR CASSIS
(Starlight Temple Society #STS015, 12" LP - insert - 7 tracks - lim. ed. of 500 copies)

The debut album of CLAIR CASSIS (ex-VELVET CACOON) is 7 tracks of luxurious black metal inspired by drugs, fine perfume and graveyards. This fine album is a synthesis of VELVET CACOON's catalogue; heavy bass lines à la "P aa opal...", the tempo of "Genevieve" and the hazy dark sound of "Dextronaut" are united to offer the VC fan an experience which is both familiar and quite new. This is a high quality vinyl release with full color artwork and 12"x12" insert. mp3 mp3 mp3

CLAIR CASSIS - CLAIR CASSIS II
(Khrysanthoney # honey002, 12" EP - in extra thick jacket + 1 cardstock insert - 9 tracks - lim. ed. of 250 copies)

Vinyl edition of Clair Cassis' first mini-album (including the extra track "Aldehyde Rouge"), blending moody and straightforward black buzz, by times otherworldly poppish and shoegazzy, somewhere between VELVET CACOON and nowadays BURZUM. BM for spaced out weirdos... Recommended. mp3 mp3

DEAD RAVEN CHOIR - CASK STRENGTH BLACK METAL
(Weird Forest Records # WF-666, 3 LP Box - 25 tracks - 7 inserts - lim. ed. 999)

At last the long long gone and hard to find "Sturmfucklinglieder", "Grand Ravishing Extravaganza", "Sevenfold Songs Of Death", and "Sheath And Knife" EPs are back on black plastic. At first you may consider the music of DRC harsh, noisy, insane and evil, but behind the walls of guitar-noisescapes and the grim vocals you may discover a fragile and nostalgic music with undertones of banjo, cello and mandolin... you may hear in the distance a lot of traditional folk songs, telling stories of better times, shrouded in blasts of white guitar-noise armageddon. For fans of twisted, unique, out of step, raw black metal with a very bent edge. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - ALL THE DREAD MAGNIFICENCE OF PERVERSITY
(Burning World Records # BWR007, 2x LP in gatefold - 12 tracks)

New album by the Dutch black-metal project Gnaw Their Tongues, one of the most disturbing post-metal band around. Blacker, heavier, more chaotic and nightmarish than ever, this new sociopathic epic of death, torture, depravation and pestilence blends metal, choral, industrial, electronic, ambient, drone and noise into an inferno of demented sounds that would make more than one so-called extreme noise bands sound like easy-listening. Not for the squeamish! This is the vinyl edition, which features three extra songs compared to the CD. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

NADJA - RUINS OF MORNING
(Substantia Innominata # Sub-013, 10" - golden vinyl - 2 tracks - lim. ed. 500)

RUINS OF MORNING shows NADJA in a very experimental & dark poetic mood. Their contribution for the "Substantia Innominata"-series (dealing with the "Unknown", "Unnameable" or "Not-Knowable") comes in two long parts based around one musical theme that appears again and again (a great dark harmonic phrase moving through different levels through this epic track), linked by very beautiful drone-sections & more noisy outbursts. Song-orientation and a more experimental sound-art approach are thus combined perfectly. The phantastic lyrics from Aidan Baker point in a very poetic way to an utopian new morning where material values play no role anymore. Experience the avantgardish drone-metal duo at their most dark & beautiful and on their very first 10" ! mp3 mp3

NOTRE DESSEIN - COMME UNE MER DE VERRE
(Just Another Winter # JAW02, LP - black vinyl - 5 tracks - lim. edition of 212 hand-numbered copies)

Here cometh JUST ANOTHER WINTER's second offering, the "no drums" depressive BM solo-project of LaMort (DE GRÂCE, WERMUT, IWIK). Widely inspired by the Revelation of St John, "Comme Une Mer De Verre" takes the listener on a profoundly desolate and breathtaking prophetic journey to the end of times. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith... mp3 mp3 mp3

PROCER VENEFICUS - HOW THE HEATHER MOONLIT SHIVERS
(Just Another Winter # JAW03, DLP - red vinyl - gatefold sleeve - 11 tracks - lim. ed. of 406, hand-numbered)

JAW is very proud to present the long awaited first vinyl release of the unchallenged master of acoustic fog music. "How The Heather Moonlit Shivers" is the bleakest PROCER VENEFICUS to date : yet the unmistakable nebular ambiance remains, the darkest of night with all its swirling ghosts seems to close in on the listener and urges the trembling hand to finally switch on the light. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

SOLAR SKELETONS - FROZEN JAIL OF REVERSED DEMONS
(Just Another Winter # JAW04, LP - black vinyl - 1 insert - 2 tracks - lim. ed. of 200, hand-numbered)

The Skeletons are unleashed again, this time plunging into the dismal fogs of Dantesque blackened drone buzzadelics. Both haunting and transcending, harrowing and angelic, the "Frozen Jail Of Reversed Demons" is a monumental blend of post black metal fuzzscapes and eerie cello and synthesizer drones. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

SOLAR SKELETONS - NECROETHYL
(Night on Earth & others... #NOE 08, 12" LP, grey marbled vinyl - 6 tracks - lim. edition)

Excellent first LP by this obscure Belgian entity featuring Tzii and Ripit. The gruesome twosome delivers a haunting cocktail of bleak downtempo jazz-rock and psychedelic southern black blues, that fills the air with the scent of Jim Beam and Havana cigars and makes you feel like you had way too much of both... The music is slow, dark, malignant, filled with drunkenness, always on the verge of total breakdown and should appeal to those of you who are into Eerie Von, 1997EV, Earth and even Bohren & Der Club of Gore, but actually think that these bands are defenitely too joyful... Recommended! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

WERMUT - ETHER
(Reue um Reue # RuR015, double LP, black vinyl in gatefold sleeve - 4 tracks - lim. ed. of 310 hand-numbered copies)

After four years of intense cosmic labour, here comes full-length number five from the prog-electro duo, now turned trio with multi-instrumentalist NIEDOWIERZANIE joining forces, and assisted by guest drummer FALKO GRAU. The four long trance inducing Berlin-school influenced psychedelic pieces will take you on an 85 minutes long journey to the fountain of life. This new opus is without a doubt the band’s most traditionalist work to date, reflecting on the quintessence, the doctrine of the five elements, the cycles, the holy mountain, the world tree and what has been the bands most recurring symbolic interest: the heart of the world… Enter the realm of metaphysical Post-Kraut-Rock! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3
