Wakeford, Tony - Into the Woods ( Tursa: TE03)
 |
Loosely influenced by the prog records of Wakeford's youth, this pictures a weird England of the 60's and 70's where pockets of woodland hold out against the encroaching suburbs. A beautiful and delicate CD of traditional Folk/Folk Noir with elements of 70's prog and psychedelia.. $7.00

Waldteufel - Rauhnacht ( Ahnstern: Percht08)
 |
Re-issue on Ahnstern of this great mCD released a few years back, but with added material making it pretty much a full length release. Rauhnacht' was originally released by the Portuguese label Terra Fria for the (unfortunately) aborted Waldteufel European tour that should have started in Sintra, last October. Features six tracks, for a total length of almost 60 minutes, that explore the Wild Hunt and Twelve Nights folklore and myth. With the exception of 'Allerseelengebet' that was recorded last year at the occasion of the 'Language of the Wild Hunt' performance in a church in Portland, all tracks, based upon poems by German writers-poets, are exclusive to this release. Combining primitive ritual sounds, with traditional instrumentation, distorted electronic sounds and sometimes deep-throated shamanic chants and Germanic verses, Markus Wolff does not offer music that ''suggests'' ritual. This is the real thing -- despite the electronic/industrial elements the musical sound here stretches back before European music as we know it to the dawn of religious experience. In digipak, with beautiful booklet. Also available on LP. $12.00

Walk Through Fire - Furthest From Heaven ( Aesthetic Death: ADCD030)
 |
The debut CD from awesome Swedish sludge doom act - Walk Through Fire. Oppressive, claustrophobic, dark, blackened sludge enveloped in pain. Obviously, I'm not going to carry a lot of metal (as much as I love it, there's already enough mailorders that carry it and do a better job than I ever would), but there's definitely things that are atmospheric enough, with a sort of Neurosis styled hypnotic repetitious churn, that it doesn't not fit in...plus, it's things like this that I'd like to bring in more of this year..
Taking inspiration from the shit that surrounds us in society - WTF transpose this into a musical megalith which yearns for the demise of mankind.. $10.00

 |
CD re-issue Wappenbund's cult album from 2004, including the classic "fremde Fahnen II".Deluxe packaging in fine linen hand-crafted box, including an embossed tin and aluminium logos, booklet, card and sleeve. One of the benchmarks of the genre, this is uncompromising German Martial-Industrial at it's finest - hitting hard and hitting often with persistent percussion, marches, samples, and enough noise and distortion to periodically push it into near power electronics territory. Designed to rape your ears and your wallet apparently.. $22.00

Weihan - Symphonies of Divination ( Old Europa Café: OECD103)
 |
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 album will be released as a limited edition digipack of 540 copies; each album thus representing a gate to the Hall of the Slain, Valhalla. The concept as a whole is a key to higher cosmological understanding; let the 432.000th year of Kali Yuga begin with Symphonies of Divination! The cycle continues as a new world arises out of the shed blood of the old. $7.00

Welter in thy Blood - Through the Fields of Mourning CD ( Shadowgraph: Shadow04)
 |
New release from this LA based funeral -doom-ambient-black-metal hybird, offering an hours worth of foul, impure atmospheres and desolate hopelessness. This moves like tar….ultra sparse and depressive, with extended passages of ever so subtle, shifting textures and minimal drones that eventually rise to meet blackened guitar sludge, with crashing cymbals and whispered vocal torment, before drifting back into an ambient abyss. Music you probably don’t want to listen to if you’re on the verge of suicide, or mass murder.. $4.00

Wertham - Memories From the Pigsty ( Tesco: Tesco069)
 |
Wertham is the solo project of Marco Deplano, Italian mastermind of Mediterranean cinematic post industrial/folk combo Foresta di Ferro and active collaborator of numberless sound and visual projects spawning from post industrial culture to punk/hardcore. After more than 10 years of waiting and a handful of smaller releases, "Memories from the Pigsty" is the first full length CD, displaying a sound rooted in a mix of full frontal power electronics and searing industrial music with a plethora of samples and very aggressive vocals. Outstanding, biting lyrical content which should be interpreted as a real life diary, painting human landscapes full of domestic violence, white trash mentality, ghetto culture and street life in general. A real breakthrough for the Italian power electronic industrial scene, and long overdue manifesto of Marco Deplano. Will remind you of the classic Tesco sound established so long ago. Recommended!. $15.99

Wicked King Wicker - God is Busy....Save Yourself ( Cold Spring: CSR125)
 |
Wicked King Wicker is pure doom. Their brand of guttural expression strips away the rock n roll base and leaves nothing for the listener than the caustic reality of the darkest side of life. It is heavy, barbaric and void of hope. Wicked King Wicker has taken the power of doom metal and added noise to mix to make its point. “God Is Busy… Save Yourself” is their 6th album, and their first released outside of the U.S. Wicked King Wicker is unique, and their extreme doom stands alone as the heaviest, most brutal doom imaginable and it may take you places you don’t want to go.. $6.00

Wolfskin - O Ajuntar das Sombras ( Malignant: TumorCD22)
 |
Finally, after years of delay, O Ajuntar das Sombras by Wolfskin is finally unleashed. Initally intended to be a re-issue of 2001s very limited The Gather of Shadows by the Setting Sun CDr (Ajna), it eventually evolved into a re-working of three tracks from that release, complimented by 7 newly recorded tracks. As the Wolfskin era comes to end , this release represents a glimpse into their past
a more organic, flowing ambient record than what you may find today, and perhaps the least conceptual of all their releases. That being said, it most certainly will go down as one of their more stunning, darker visions; a masterpiece of shadowy atmospheres and drifting currents, featuring multiple layers of archaic sounds, foggy, nebulous textures, and ritual invocations, perfectly combined to form a release of intense depth and complexity.Must certainly rank among the finest dark ambient records released in the history of Malignant. In elegant 4 panel digipak. Audio sample at the Malignant myspace, or available for download from iTunes: iTunes . $9.00

Wolfskin feat. Last Industrial Estate - Stonegates of Silence ( Malignant: TumorCD46)
 |
And so the journey formally ends for Wolfskin, 15 years from whence it began with the release of the Hidden Fortress cassette back in 1995. The essence of Wolfskin has transformed and mutated throughout the years, reaching on "The Stonegates of Silence" it's simpler form….one of desolation, solitude, insanity and death, the final frontiers of human existence. As he did with The Hidden Fortress: A Revisitation CD, Wolfskin once again pairs up with Anders Peterson of Objekt 4 fame, now operating under the name of Last Industrial Estate for the purposes of this recording. This is Wolfskin at its bleakest and most restrained, offering 5 tracks of enveloping ambience built around foggy, ambiguous textures and an endless flow of drifting isolationism, shapeless horrors, and oppressive subterranean heaviness. In the case of Stonegates, Wolfskin goes out not with a bang, but with a slow, evolutionary creep into the shadows, forever etched in the lexicon of dark ambient music. In 4 panel digipak.. $9.00

Wolvserpent - Gathering Strengths/Blood Seed 2xCD ( Crucial Blast: CBR90)
 |
Previously known as Pussygutt, the duo of blackened psychedelic dronemetallers from Boise, Idaho changed their name to the much more ominous sounding Wolvserpent in 2010. The name is the really the only thing that changed, as the occult hypno-doom and grim, folk-stained nightmares that populated their previous albums are all intact here. This double disc from Crucial Blast collects both the Gathering Strengths Lp (Olde English Spelling Bee) and Blood Seed Lp (20 Buck Spin), both of which were previously available only on limited edition vinyl. The material has been remastered for this format, and comes in an eight-panel digipack that features both the original album artwork as well as new imagery that further compliments Wolvserpent's avant-garde witch-sludge.
Originally released under the name Pussygutt, Gathering Strengths offers more of their signature blackened dronescapes and ominous metallic ambience that we heard on the amazing albums She Hid Behind Her Veil and Sea Of Sand, with two massive tracks, each one a mysterious and abstract slab of twilight drift and formless low-end blackness. The beginning of "Gathering Strengths (Silence Within)" is a spacious blend of abstract doomdrift and eerie nocturnal field recordings, the chirping of crickets and other nighttime forest sounds surrounding the slow deep wheeze of a clarinet drifting through the woodland shadows, the tones of the clarinet stretching and winding into tendrils of dark drone, a subtle undercurrent of rumbling heaviness deep beneath all of this. As the track continues to unfold, clinking metal and the whir of prayer bowls and distant tolling bells drift in, along with what sounds like a detuned banjo, muted strings, blurred streaks of violin, the sound smoldering for quite awhile, a sort of cinematic chamber-doomdrift, looped and scraped strings becoming more intense, joined by a gorgeous violin melody that begins weeping over the dark diaphanous ambience. And then the calm is split apart as a billowing black fog of metallic heaviness rumbles across the landscape, crawling over the horizon, seething and roiling just behind the mournful violins and creaking, whirring drones. The second begins with black wavering buzz floats across the simple pound of hand drums and a slowly beaten tambourine that begins "Gathering Strengths (Spirit Walker)", slowly joined by violins playing a simple keening melody, the mood bleak and sorrowful, with buzzing cello-drones slowly swarming beneath. The sound gradually builds into waves of rumbling doom riffage hovering over the horizon, never becoming overly heavy, instead spreading out and forming into a hazy doomfolk ritual with hypnotic violin melody and deep strings and soundtracky synths, becoming a dreamy funeral processional, dark and beautiful, austere and apocalyptic.
The band's fourth album Blood Seed was released as a limited vinyl edition in 2010 on 20 Buck Spin. The first half is mostly made up of swirling nocturnal folk-drone, the second shifting into fractured, crushing heaviness. The first side is titled "Wolv" and starts off with the soft warm blur of a synthesizer drifting through a black expanse, very dark, dreamy, and cosmic, slowly joined by the sound of a violin playing a melancholy minor key melody that drifts over the soft swirling hum of the keys. Right from the beginning, the sound is dramatic and moving, and heavy with a feeling of loss and grief. This feeling is amplified as more layers of violin are gradually added, the strings sometimes falling away into pure drone. After a few minutes of this, the guitar finally appears, playing a slow creepy figure plucked in slow motion, and combined with the violin and keys creates something resembling atmospheric, funereal chamber music. Bits of slide guitar are draped over top, and it almost sounds like an extremely depressed and despondent Amber Asylum. About halfway through the side, the drums suddenly kick in and the guitar swells up in a rush of heavy distortion, and the duo lurches into this massive heaving sludge riff, all pounding slow mo drums and down tuned metallic crush, the grinding riff and pounding ultra heavy pace reminiscent of the Melvins, but with the violins and keys continuing to swirl around, transforming the heaviness into some kind of mysterious folk-doom ritual. Up to this point it's been more or less instrumental, but now the howling unintelligible shrieks begin to appear, the sound of demonically possessed throats screaming in the midst of a monstrous doom jam taking place in the middle of the woods at midnight, a single riff grinding over and over, backed by a legion of classical violins, layered and intricate yet totally trance inducing. More effects start to appear, as well as strange echoing noises and droning guitar notes, the violins taking off on haunting counter-melodies, the sound becoming incredibly huge as the side approaches the end of the first side, until the drums fall away and the guitar dissipates into a cloud of dense feedback fug and it winds down into those witchy violins and clouds of amp buzz. The "Serpent" side picks up from there, with soft wisps of violin licking at the edges of a buzzing guitar leaning against an amplifier, gushing black feedback. Then we hear the distant howling of wolves, their cries actually forming into a sort of melody that merges with the other elements, the strings diffusing into a soft circling melody over that rumbling guitar hum. After a few minutes, all of this fades out once more and a creeping, muted guitar appears, playing a menacing Sabbathoid riff for a moment before the full band drops in again, grinding out another massive sludgy metallic dirge, wolf howls reappearing behind the pummeling slow mo metal. The chorus of strange nocturnal cries is joined by other yelps, moans, echoing shrieks, and chanting voices, evoking images of a midnight garage doom jam performed by a coven of witches, the sludgy riffing and heavy drumming speeding up into a pounding groove and slowing back down into pure tar-pit sloth, a serpentine gothic sludgefeast that stretches out to the very end of the album.. $12.00

Wreck of the Hesperus - The Rotting Light ( Aesthetic Death: ADCD018)
 |
There's doom, and then there's what Wreck of the Hesperus does, which transcends all doom, and takes it to a place more bleak, hopeless, and morose than you can imagine. This is putrid, distressing, suffocating, all encompassing, massively scaled darkness....but, unlike a lot of things operating in the same field, this is not boring, and not plodding, even as it moves along a zombie crawling pace. 3 long tracks, totaling 40 minutes, capped off by an epic 21+ minute track of pure nightmarish horror. So ugly and deformed, you can't help but love it.. $13.00
