Ignis Divine - Creatures of the Abysall Divine ( Section XIII Coma: SXCDIII03)
 |
First proper CD release for this occult, black ambient project from Greece unveils a definite hidden gem. This isn't a new release (early 2011 if I'm correct), but I'm surprised I haven't heard talk of it until copies came into stock. It's certainly not ground breaking material, but for those that like their ambient cavernous and bleak, this comes fully equipped. Flowing, reverbed drenched atmospheres and brooding, textural drones with industrial nuances. Lmtd 200 in slimline DVD case.. $13.00

Illusion of Safety - Bridges Intact ( Waystyx: Way69)
 |
Dan Burke (mastermind of IOS) has been creating unique soundscapes since way back in 1983, including, in my humble opinion, some of the greatest industrial records EVER (Historical and More Violence & Geography). IOS 2011 doesn't quite pack the visceral punch that IOS did in 1990, but still, there's no denying the creativity and uniqueness displayed here.
This new album by the Illusion Of Safety was recorded preliminary with piano, guitar, electronics and sound processing devices. Abstract tonal and atonal improvisations share the sonic continuum with background drones, rasps and gentle noises, and they do it in highly unpredictable surreal way: mild "melodies" turn into energetic uneasy passages being interrupted by "concrete" sonic romp evolving into spatial drone and electronic landscapes... And all this whirl continues during the whole CD increasing the degree of abstractness and psychedelia as it moves towards the end, which is presented in a form of beautiful harmonic composition. Terrific and elaborate fold out packaging. Lmtd 324. $6.00

Inade - Audio Mythology One ( LOKI: LOKI57)

There’s more to the history of the incomparable Dark Ambient Sound Sculptors, Inade, than meets the ear. Audio Mythology One gathers unreleased material and compilation tracks, the shards and splintered remnants that litter the cosmic wasteland that is their sonic home.

Masterful audio musings.A.M. ONE is an introduction to the archive of INADE´s sound work. The first part of this series is focusing on unreleased and now finalised material from the recording period of „The Incarnation Of The Solar Architects“ album , V.A. compilation tracks and re-worked studio material of live backing tracks.

Inade - The Crackling of the Anonymous ( LOKI: LOKI29)
 |
After 5 years since the last studio album Aldebaran, we can finally announce the release of a new full length work. With The Crackling Of The Anonymous, Inade move beyond all preconceived notions of sonic creativity. The plethora of puzzle pieces that interconnect in the expanding universe that Inade unwaveringly explores have grown amorphous, no longer defined by distinct outlines, melding as one whole, obscure entity. The expansion comes in many levels, incorporating the vast parameters of time, dimension and reality as viable participants in Inade's aural objective: to shine a light on the enigmatic unknown and give it a vague silhouette. The dark and hallucinatory masterwork that is The Crackling Of The Anonymous, is constructed via the never heard utterances of the void, while tapping into the psyche of the impossible. A stunning release that defies all logic because it creates its own!. $13.77

Inade - The Incarnation of the Solar Architects ( LOKI: LOKI50)
 |
There is a world that shadows our world, a world of mysterious design and unspoken secrets, of space that breathes and infinite echoes that never cease to cry. Mirrors that refract images into dark pools of cosmic nothingness. Inade explore these worlds on their latest masterpiece, The Incarnation of the Solar Architects, in which sound is utilized in a transformative manner, not only to focus on that which lies beyond and that which has never been seen, but to embrace the Darkness and let it wash over one's soul. The mythology that Inade has created touches that place beyond forever, yet now, through the insistence of that which lurks in the margins, a metamorphosis has transpired, in which the cosmos of self has awakened. If one believes that God is everywhere, so is the Darkness that came before Him. A Darkness thriving with anonymous ideals (the possibilities are endless ... ) and devious intentions, resplendent with mystical creatures that shamble through antediluvian kingdoms constructed from polished metal, luxurious crystals, and unlimited dreams ... though one would need new eyes to see them, and new ears to hear them. Inade provide the soundtrack--the frisson of unease is abundant, a churning, seething dread that veers into awe. It's up to the individual listener to listen intently, behind shuttered eyelids ... to see and experience the true labyrinthine hierarchy of black splendor that awaits. Massive, awe-inspiring, crushing cosmic doom from the best dark ambient band in existence. A MUST!!!. $13.77

Infant Cycle, The - Drop-out Center ( Zhelezobeton: ZHB-XXXIV)
 |
"Drop-out Center" is the anniversary album of The Infant Cycle project celebrating 20 years of the personal creative journey of the Canadian musician Jim DeJong which began in November 1992 after leaving the band Mind Skelp-cher. During this time Jim has recorded and released a massive amount of material both on his own label The Ceiling and on other respectable underground labels such as EE Tapes, Drone Records, Afe Records, etc. and this is his second full-length album on CD after "The Sand Rays" (Diophantine Discs, 2009). The album includes nine abstract compositions recorded with Jim's trademark approach. Using such sound sources as shortwave radio, vinyl surface, videotape, bird cage and also more "normal" instruments (bass guitar, electric mandolin, Korg Poly-800 synthesizer) he creates slowly drifting multilayered textures with sometimes unexpected stops and narration twists. Sharp crispy foreground sound is set off by gentle background waves of resonating feedbacks forming intelligent electroacoustic glitch / drone with scratchy tangibility, meditativeness and even a sort of romanticism. This is music that evokes imagination and easily paints images in the listener's mind. "Turn on!". $10.00

Inner Depth - Horn Herald the Severity of the Day ( Steinklang: SK66)

Debut release from Inner Depth, about which I know very little, other than it's a monstrous slab of old school death industrial; inky black and utterly hopeless, bristling with dark energy, slow-grinding rhythms, and bad vibes. If you're into early MZ.412 and BDN, this completely delivers. Lmtd 300, I think I'll order more right now.. $13.99

Inner Vision Laboratory - Future Chaos ( Zoharum: IYHHH04)
 |
Zoharum present the 4th installment in the IYHHH series. This time it's an archival material from Inner Vision Laboratory which was created more than 4 years ago and has not been released in any form whatsoever. The material was recorded between 2006 and 2007.
It still sounds fresh and interesting despite the fact that IVLab music has evolved into a different direction. 'Future Chaos' is a more dynamic and harsh face of Karol Skrzypiec. This is a dark ambient passage in the world of tribal and postindustrial elements. Album is the sound illustration of the world after a sudden collapse of the humankind and the 21st century civilisation.. $11.66

In Scissors - Orbis Terrarum Requiem ( Zoharum: Zohar008)
 |
In Scissors actually sent me this awhile ago looking to release it on Malignant. I turned it down, mostly because it wasn't really a good fit for Malignant, but I thought about it a lot, and there's definitely some strong pieces on here (the first track alone is enough to leave quite an impression). Mostly string and woodwind based neo-classical in the more "romantic" vein rather than the bombastic vein, but flirting with aspects of ritual dark ambient. There's definitely some reference points you can make here , but In Scissors seems to have their own feel."Orbis Terrarum Requiem" in brief means "The World's Requiem" or "The Earth'sRequiem" and in the case of this album the second explanation given fits better toits concept and thematology.It is a requiem for the destruction that has befallen Earth/Nature as inflicted by humans.. $7.00

Instant Movie Combinations/Closing the Eternity/Kromeshna - Split ( Radiodrone Records: RD08)
 |
3 way split between these Siberian acts, Closing the Eternity of which is the only one I know of, and I suspect that goes for most of you (if you even know Closing the Eternity that is). Minimalism seems to be the operative word here - long tracks of nuanced, singular drones and shifting, monochromatic layers of sound with almost no sense of warmth until perhaps the latter tracks, but even then, this is subterraneanly frigid. There's stuff going on here though, no doubt...you just need to pay attention.. $6.00

Institut - The Struggle Never Ended ( Cold Meat Industry: CMI143)
 |
Lirim Cajani's project Institut should be well established now. This newly recorded effort, the first CD without earlier member Johanna Rosenqvist, is a solid tribute to the struggle of the little man. The sound is more up-front live-centered, almost totally devoid of rhythms throughout and with a lot of anguished and hateful vocals. Full of drenching static and simple but effective walls of noise and reverberating samples which surely works sufficiently incisive. Unabashedly harsh and uncompromising brutal, this is about as pure a straight up power electronics release as youll find. It just roars with brutality and vengeance, reminding me a bit of Grunt this time around (as opposed to Haus Arafna with the previous releases), though with a different vocal style. $15.75

IRM - Anthology 2CD ( Autarkeia: ACD065)
 |
Having started out in 1997 when Erik Jarl asked Martin Bladh to join him, 2012 sees the 15th anniversary of IRM. 15 years - incidentally the legal age of consent in their native Sweden - that have seen them mature from bedroom autodidacts to masters of the studio environment. Taking their cue from the confrontational sounds of BDN and Whitehouse on the tape debut, IRM have honed their sound by each album and eventually fleshed out the sonic tapestry by the addition of Mikael Oretoft on bass. By tapping into the mindsets of outsider artists/authors such as Mishima, Rudolf Schwarzkogler and Francis Bacon, their obsessions with pain, purity and beauty leaked into Bladh's personal lyrics. This aesthetic amalgamated with the volcanic eruptions of Jarl and Oretoft have set IRM apart as true originators in the diluted sea of contemporary power electronics. The box contains of 2 golden metalisation discs on digipack, 2 special protectors including box itself for discs and digi and 20 pages booklet. Lim. E 500. Disc contain a collection of live recordings, unreleased studio material, compilation appearances, as well as the Four Studies 10 inch, the 10 inch split with Skin Area, and more! Mandatory!. $27.00

IRM - Oedipus Dethroned/An Act of Self Mutilation is An Act of Freedom 2CD ( Autarkeia: ACD062)
 |
Re-issue of two IRM power house recordings...2000's Oedipus Dethroned on CMI, and An Act of Self Mutilation from 2003 on Annihilvs. Here's what I wrote about Oedipus for the catalog when it first came out: "An even more amazing follow up to what was an amazing debut. A slower attack than the LP, but eminitely more forceful and devastating, heading away from the more straight forward p.e. stylings and into a more old school territory (check out Inside the Skull of a Mannequin and tell me it doesnt play out like the sequel to Gristles Hamburger Lady!). Infectious, nauseating frequencies, loops, and epileptic electronics with a steady stream of malevolent vocals and an inherent sense of incurable sickness and decay that you just dont find in records these days . This confronts you, shouts you down, steps on your head and stabs you in the back, then makes you get up and press play again. Nice elegant artwork and slipcase cover, with a full booklet of printed lyrics. Truly belongs with the classics (and I mean that)". Truth be told, in hindsight it's even more amazing. The fact that you get An Act along with it, and some stellar packaging? Mandatory.. $28.00

IRM - Red Album ( Autarkeia: ACD054)
 |
To celebrate that a decade has passed since the release of IRM's "Red Album" LP, a welcome CD reissue is now presented by Autarkeia. Martin Bladh and Erik Jarl had already known each other for a few years when they began their mission as IRM in 1997. Fuelled by the rage of sonic power-houses like Whitehouse and Brighter Death Now, they recorded a demo tape that landed them a deal with Cold Meat Industry. Immediately upon its arrival, "The Red Album" was met by great enthusiasm as it breathed new life in a genre gone quite stagnant at the time. In fact, around here, instant classic came to mind, and that holds true to this day. The sound displayed is a unique amalgamation of Jarl's analogue bass-heavy eruptions, and Bladh's revelatory lyrics/vocals which were thematically more aligned with the apocalyptic preachings of Michael Gira and Nick Cave than the confrontationalism of William Bennett. Also the monochrome cover designs that IRM chose to work with stood in stark contrast to the cheap shock tactics that had infested the power electronics scene for so long. On subsequent landmark albums such as "Oedipus Dethroned" and "Virgin Mind" IRM honed their sound and dug deeper into the maze of the human psyche, while in parallell both Bladh and Jarl have explored new aestetic avenues with diverse solo projects.Now when looking back, it is perfectly clear that IRM have fulfilled and surpassed all the expectations that the release of "The Red Album" promised. More than ten years down the road, the adolescent debutants have become the revered minstrels of industrial gospel. Almost perfect!. $15.77

IRM - The Cult of the Young Men ( Annihilvs: Apex005)
 |
Finally back in stock! Returning with a singularly cold, desolate and lonely release, IRM continues to fervently espous irreligious, body-obsessed abstractions of the highest order. Departing from the aggressive PE outbursts of the past, the duo of Erik Jarl and Martin Bladh sculpt pulsating drones, shuddering frequencies, and powerfully dark sounds, as the bleeding wound of IRM continues to flower. The aggression may not be there, but the intensity is in full effect. The Cult of The Young Men contains 'live' tracks recorded in the studio, selections from live performances (including the APEX Fest), and a cover of JOY DIVISION's 'Here are the Young Men. Like all IRM releases, absolutely necessary.. $11.00

I.R.O.N. - Evolving ( Rage in Eden: Rage99)
 |
The information, that I.R.O.N and Legionarii is the same person would be pretty good recommendation, but then we could ask why it isn't just next Legionarii album? All the more it is also martial industrial. But, the music on "Evolving" it's different than Legionarii recordings. It's pure domination of industrial and machines, in short - Legionarii is into spiritual sphere of war, while I.R.O.N is technical. And that's the album is. Rhythmical, mechanical, industrial and martial.. $14.33

Iron Fist of the Sun - Who Will Help Me Wash My Right Hand ( Cold Spring: CSR179)

New full length album by English artist IFOTS. Continuing on his path of exploratory yet focused industrial, and his trademark clean detailed power electronics that was first seen on his debut CD for Cold Spring, “Behavioural Decline”, “Who Will Help Me Wash My Right Hand” is a frantic mix of structure and chaos, less violent than previous releases but instead drenched in melancholy and bitterness.

Iron Forest - Body Horror CD+Art Card Set ( Crucial Blast: Blaze20)
 |
Iron Forest's Body Horror is the second full-length release from this new project from Midwestern industrial/experimental artist Brandon Elkins. Some might know Elkins from his previous project A Crown Of Amaranth, who released an excellent album of dark, futuristic heaviness and black-hole ambience as part of a Crucial Bliss series in 2005 as well as a short-lived collaboration called A Crown Of Light that had one album out on Italy's Eibon Records. Within the past year Elkins has re-emerged with a brand new outfit called Iron Forest that delivers with super-heavy industrial rhythms, mutated drone/dub experiments, and doom metal influenced riffcrush. The band released another disc earlier in 2012 on Paradigms called Pantechnicon that was issued in an extremely limited run; this follow-up Body Horror comes via the Crucial Blaze series and features the new album of music accompanied by a set of collage prints depicting various biological hallucinations that were all created by Elkins for this release.
The eight songs on Body Horror are forged from gleaming metallic drones, glitchy electronica and vast clouds of interstellar synthesizer that wind around fractured doom-laden riffs, rife with the sort of apocalyptic atmosphere that Godflesh exuded from their more experimental albums. Justin Broadrick's pioneering industrial metal is one obvious influence on Iron Forest's sound, though here the crushing guitars and solemn ambience are cracked and broken into strange splatters of percussive noise and dissonant dronescapes that evoke an altogether more warped vision of industrialized doom-tronics. The music is varied, ranging from the bizarre but ultra fuckin' heavy robotic dub-sludge of "Rust And Decay", "Prognosis" and "Mountain Of Teeth" (where blackened doom metal meets a hellish variation of Scorn's dystopian beatcrush), to the orchestral majesty and skittering percussion of "The Divide" and the abstract, bitcrunched rhythms of "Dead Batteries". Elkins abuses a bunch of dubstep tropes (the blown out speaker rattling bass tones, the vicious synthesizers, the fragmented rhythms), but what comes out doesn't sound like dubstep at all. There's hardly anything here that a sane person would consider "danceable". It's more of a chaotic, noise-damaged, dub-infested version of Skin Chamber's industrial metal, if that band had been obsessed with the experimental glitchery of Autechre. Combine that with Body Horror's obsession with Cronenbergian themes (mutation, deformity, etc), and you get a pitch-black brand of mechanized dread that wallows in a similar cyborg plasma-pool as bands like Wreck And Reference, Cloaks, Necro Deathmort, The Blood Of Heroes, and Author & Punisher.Released in a limited edition of four hundred hand-numbered copies, the Body Horror Cd comes in Crucial Blaze's signature clear dvd-style case with an insert card and a black folio (with black printing) that holds a set of gorgeously grotesque full color collage prints.. $10.00

Iron Halo Device - The Collapsing Void ( Malignant: None)
Isomer - Face Toward the Sun ( Tesco: Tesco076)
 |
Isomer's third cd with Tesco takes a sharp turn toward more aggressive territory, with the raw industrial hinted at in previous outings getting a proper airing. The dark ambient textures for which he is known still feature, but Face Toward the Sun forges new stylistic ground for the project. From the throbbing electronics of the opening track, through power electronics, walls of noise, violent vocal deliveries and carefully structured dark ambience, this is a characteristically varied album. Never one to shy from a dirty old blending of styles, a nice little martial ditty even makes an appearance for the militant in all of us. Face Toward the Sun was assembled from improvisations, previously unused material and nights of MS-20 hard-ons, making a lusty, varied album of industrial music. Some of the tracks here has been already presented on the well received DVD Cold Meat Live in Australia, where Isomer delivered one of the most surprising gigs of the festival. The studio versions of the tracks here will appeal to listeners of martial industrial as well as to an industrial dark ambient audience. Presented in a double gatefold digipack with potent imagery,. $15.99
