Singular, uncompromised and inimitable !

NECROPHOROUS - Drifting in Motion CD Digipack 13,- euro
Arctic ambience, melting with imagination, leads the listener to the frozen tundra at the top of the world.
This rarely explored land, resonant with a shimmering radiance that is bleak, barren and mysterious, is distinguished by slivers of fantastical nuances that twinkle like crystals under the midnight sun.

NJURMANNEN was the VERY first project in which Lina DEUTSCH NEPAL was involved !!!
He was working and recording with the rest of this "CULT" band all the tracks on this album !!!

Snappy gothic pop tunes meet electronic gamelan meets Russian poetry in outer space... Or something like that...
Or much more simply "The real cult release of 2008" !!!?!?!?

NORDVARGR / DRAKH / CORDELL – The Less You Know, the Better CD Folder 12,-euro
...Zero point. Death. Ultimate stop. Internal. External..
the transgression of things to be and never be again.
Secrets weave milky webs, textures kill the progress of disaster & yet the fevered bleakness endures.
There are no highlights here, only the darkness. That of the far graces of space released.
You, the lost vacant listener cross paths with three of the scariest people alive.
The less you know the better...
An absolute masterpiece of best dark and elegant ambient electronica !

VA - Manifesto Rumorarmonico Post Futurista 2xLP 22,- euro
Vinyl compilation devoted to “Luigi Russolo” the father of Futurist music and the first man theorizing that music has to be composed mainly by rumors and not by harmonic sounds !
His music was played with a self made instrument named : "Intonarumori” or “Rumorarmonio” !
Russolo is the forefather and theorizer of the “Electronic Music” concept and for sure we can say today that he was the first man playing “Industrial” muzak !
For this project we invited four artists which are known for beeing very close to "Futurism" since their first approaches to music and for their true and uncompromising “Industrial” involvement, in alphabetical order :
- GX JUPITTER-LARSEN : also known for being the mind behind The Haters and for all his very “Futurist” performances whre a click becomes the main sound !
- MERZBOW : the father of Japanese noise ! This is most propbably Russolo's own sound devellopment into our days ...
- RAPOON : with his first project “Zoviet France” Robin Storey, the mind behind Rapoon, was one of the very first artists using toy instruments which can be very well compared to the use of Russolo's Rumorarmonio's or Intonarumori !
- SACHER PELZ : Sacher Pelz was the very first project by Maurizio Bianchi also known as MB , he was one of the very first artists theorising electronic noise ! For sure a perfect follower of Russolo's tehories ...
special white vinyl

Latest releases December 2007

OECD103 WEIHAN - Symphonies of Divination CD Digipack 13,- euro
“Symphonies of Divination” is the sophomore album of this very promising project from the medieval lands bordering the cold North Sea, Flanders (North-Belgium).
Dramatically straying from the neo-folk path of their debut album “Galder”, “Symphonies of Divination” offers dark and bombastic compositions with clear references to Slavonic, German and Scandinavian classical music.
Heavy percussion, assiduous spiccato string sections, dramatic horn accents and haunting choirs form the backbone of this album.
The cold and eerie narrative vocals enhance the grim atmosphere of the music even further.
The lyrics, mainly in English but with hints of Dutch, Old-Norse and Swedish, are devoted to Indo-Germanic religion, myth and legend, the Nietzschean spirit and relentlessly attest to the grotesque decline of the modern world.
The cycle continues as a new world arises out of the shed blood of the old …

OEMP 014 TEATRO SATANICO - Inno a Satana 10” Record
red vinyl with blue sparkles, strictly limited and numbered to only 333 copies 16,- euro
How to define the Italian devils music known as Teatro Satanico?
Throughout their recording career they’ve crossed so many different genres that its almost impossible to label them down since every recording is so different from their last one.
In "INNO A SATANA (Hymn to Satan)" the music nullifies itself in becoming just a choir of voices reciting a real Satanic hymn composed in 1863 by Italian poet Giosué Carducci.
A dark chilling ambient composition that comes from absolutely elsewhere.
And if those Satanic murmurs and grumbles would not be enough for your most devilish taste just listen to “LUCIFER”, a true ritual-noise track mixing electronic and acoustic sounds with an eerie voice invoking the “Light Bringer”.
And beyond your belief read the personnel line-up involved into the making of these true Satanic recordings:
Alberto MK, Ari. ClauDEDI (Malato / Circus Joy … Ex Ain Soph), DeviLs g, Dan Saint Julian (Testing Vault), David Youcide Muzakiller (Muzakiller Foundation), Marco Deplano (Wertham / Foresta di ferro), Spectre (Ain Soph / Space Alliance / Circuì Joy …) .
Got this record to get the chance to catch your part of the demonic fire for burning down the lair of the liar god. Hail Satan, Hail Lucifer !
