KEPLERS ODD - "STRENA SEU DE NIVE SEXANGULA" CD (FS0108CD), AVAILABLE IN MATTE 4-PANEL DIGIPAK Guitar-drive ambient noise
From the darkest and coldest heart of Sweden comes the trio known as Keplers Odd, and FracturedSpacesRecords is pleased to announce that “Strena Seu de Nive Sexangula”, their third CD album, is the first official release on the UK’s newest quality underground music label. Featuring seven tracks of noisy yet subtly ambient guitar-driven sonic attacks, eerily redolent of the icy cold mysterious aurora-wrapped landscapes prevalent throughout Northern Europe, inhabited by creatures and monsters spawned from the myths & legends told around campfires over countless generations. Indeed, Keplers Odd have themselves spawned a monster of an album, creating textures and ambiences far beyond the normal run of over-driven guitar noisefests – yes, there is unalloyed power here, but there is also quiet subtlety, sinister atmospherics, and deeply dark occult moods. Ancient abandoned buildings, dark musty corridors, sinister forces at play – it’s all here in stonking quantities!!
GENERIC - "TORTURE" CD (FS0208CD). AVAILABLE IN FULL-COLOUR 4-PANEL DIGIPAK Creepy, atmospheric dark ambient.
For its second release, FracturedSpacesRecords couldn’t have chosen a better one: Generic’s “Torture”, a long and deeply unsettling journey into the beating black heart, and Antarctic iciness of the collective shattered psyche, of a shattered mankind. Created using ‘foley tracks’ and sound effects (used for both film and television), as well as the occasional guitars, bass, and found sounds, it all combines to produce a haunting, nerve-shredding, ghostly and schizophrenic soundtrack, guaranteed to simultaneously freeze the heart and mind, and induce cold sweat to bead the forehead and shivers to wrack the body. Six mid to long tracks of bleak mindscapes totalling just over 50 minutes and wrapped in beautiful full colour digipak with artwork by new German digital artist THAMUS.
OSMAN ARABI - "BURNING SIGILS" CD (FS0308CD). AVAILABLE IN FULL-COLOUR 4-PANEL DIGIPAK Hypnotic dark ethno-ambient.
The third release on FracturedSpacesRecords is Osman Arabi’s “Burning Sigils”, a single 38-minute track of deeply hypnotic ethno-ambience tinged with a cold darkness; a forgotten text written in the blood of generations, a story of long-buried secrets and civilisations that worshipped dark gods in the hidden kingdoms, lost to time and memory, becoming covered by both sand and the unforgiving ravages of time. This languid and hip-swayingly sinister piece builds slowly, unfolding its narrative unhurriedly, in the same way that the ages-old deserts themselves have been around forever, in the process resurrecting the shades of aeons-dead peoples and blowing cold winds across the heat-ridden sandy wastes. Delve with us into the black heart of a now-vanished civilisation and visit the incense-filled temples of the gods of the arid places.
DISKREPANT "EX MACHINA LIBERTAS" CD (FS0408CD). AVAILABLE IN JEWELCASE WITH FOLDOUT 6-PANEL BOOKLET WITH FOIL STAMPING Experimental/environmental dark ambient
We are now here, in the tunnels of the mind. This is the place where it all happens. We pass through the imaginary laboratories, the small workshops and the gigantic halls where the WE of tomorrow is being built. This is a place where both nature and technology merge into one seamless entity. Then we’re placed on the assembly line where a new world and a new version of man has been created, a blend of flesh and synthetics. We are no longer trapped in our physical bodies. Computer chip and mind has merged.
Here, in this chamber of us, we deconstruct what was and rebuild what we've seen crumble. Forever catching a fleeting glimpse of a lush paradisiacal state from the past. What we construct we are.
This is the fourth release for both Diskrepant and FracturedSpacesRecords, and this time we’re entering a dystopian vision of the future of mankind with a nightmare amalgamation of flesh and machine. Using, subtle environmental field recordings Diskrepant dives into a Hadean vision of a world where people are half-natural/half-robot, a world where nature is slowly being squeezed by metal and glass.
KADAVER "MOLESTED INTO FORM" (FS0508CD). AVAILABLE IN JEWELCASE WITH 6-PAGE FOLDOUT BOOKLET Harsh electronics/noise
“Molested into Form”, the latest opus from Kadaver and FracturedSpacesRecords and the sequel to “This Time... it’s Cancer” (originally to be released on Marco Corbelli's Slaughter Productions but due to his death was eventually released on Topheth Prophet), is the soundtrack to accompany our species’ inevitable (and, some would say, welcome) demise. Searing, grating electronics, mind-melting granularity, ferocious jet-engine sonic blasts and flesh-rending nastiness all combine to bring us a worthy paean to an already lost cause. .. welcome to the nightmare world of our future. Also included is a tribute to Jörg Buttgereit’s classic underground film “Nekromantik”!!!
