Galerie Schallschutz - HAARP
(Tesco: Tesco053)
A new German project. Deep, pulsating frequencies, cosmic, hallucinatory sounds and electromagnetic interferences, based around the conspiracy (??) theory that the US government has a new ground-based Star wars' weapon which is being assembled on a military base in Alaska. HAARP stands for High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program. This new system has the capability to manipulate the environment in such a way as to change weather patterns, disrupt global communication systems, disrupt human mental processes, negatively affect health and impact the earth's upper atmosphere in an unnatural and damaging way.. The military gives the impression that this project is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing the ionosphere to improve communications for our own good, but they have deliberately misled the public, through sophisticated word games, deceit and outright disinformation. Powerful, penetrating atmospherics slightly remiscent of some Inade and more so Schloss Tegal (Oranur 3 era). In handsome clear tray DVD house.. $15.66
Galerie Schallshutz - Cocoon CD&DVD
(Tesco: Tesco073)
 |
Galerie Schallschutzs first ever live appearance at the Tesco Festival / Antwerp 2007. With the sole purpose of giving the audience a great nights entertainment, Galerie Schallschutz put together an exceptional and amazing multimedia show with a profound stage concept. To maximize attention G.S. have optimised their performance almost theatrically, with a highly topical theme that covers the controlling of willpower, observation and constrictions of individual basic rights, and the ideology of freedom! Moreover, the musical concept, with its layered ambient-drones, cosmically deep pulsations, penetrating frequencies and manipulated interferences, was produced specifically for this special event and contains completely new, and most importantly, previously unreleased sounds. Skillfully filmed and tastefully produced by a professional German TV- and multimedia company! Comes in a luxury 6-panel DVD digipak with 8-page booklet.. $19.00

Genetic Selection - Darwin's Voyage
(Ant-Zen: Act185)
This is the second release of Genetic Selection for the Ant-Zen label. This album is more industrial by character compared with the previous album. More complex as well as it has a more dense sound. There are again dominating 4 to the floor beats but now the dark ambient soundscapes and complex rhythmical structures are more present as well. This is industrial techno for the experienced. The tracklist hints towards a conceptual approach in the thematics of this album, and the tracks have been divided into chapters and together they bring to life a sci-fi world. This all is even enhanced with the use of samples. It is meant as a soundtrack to a story written by Antonio Berger. Also the title of the cd and the quote of Jules Verne in the booklet (Alles, was ein Mensch sich heute vorstellen kann, werden andere Menschen einst verwirklichen ; All man can imagine now, will once be achieved by man) further fill this image. Musically speaking the cd increases in heavyness the further the tracklist develops. The illustration on the cd cover is by the hand of Michael Hutter. It is a painting, and this is something different compared to what we usually are used of with Ant-Zen releases. $6.00
Genetic Selection - World of Tomorrow
(Ant-Zen: Act195)
Two years have passed since Genetic Selection's last strike - the concept album "Darwin's Voyage" showcased the German one man project as an open-minded artist who is an explorer of new musical territories. Futuristic sci-fi concepts combined with complex hard beats are his trademarks and these are further refined with "World OfTomorrow". On this album, G.S combines heavy rhythms with his interpretation of various styles : hypnotic synth lines converge with pounding four to the floor sequences, symphonic choirs ( "Epic Dreams" ), disturbing shattered voice samples ( "A Man And His Droid" ), and electronic ambience ( "Whispers In The Dark" ). All of this ( and more ) is welded together with straight but well elaborated rhythm-work.... $6.00
Genetic Transmission - R.E.T.R.O.
(War Office Propaganda: Wop41)
Genetic Transmission is a living legend of the Polish industrial scene. This latest GT album is recorded in the vein of good old classic industrial. Most of basic sounds are microphone recordings of different instruments, original acoustic installations like setsof stones, glass and metal as well as field recordings. The equipment is a wide spectrum of contact and dynamic microphones and old telephone headphones... all enriched with vintage soviet made electronic devices from the early 80's. Lots of creakings, bangings, metallic drones, and echoed mechanical noises. Think C.O. Caspar, Illusion of Safety, things of that ilk (basically, right up my alley). More than sixty minutes of pure industrial sounds on six tracks. Presented in digipak.. $7.00
Genevieve Pasquier - Handle with Care CDep
(Umbkollektif: UMB009)
 |
Following on from the album "Le Cabaret Moi" GENEVIÉVE PASQUIER presents this seven-track EP on her own label UMB Kollektif: a 40-minute journey through Geneviéve's thoughts and feelings. Right from the beginning she shows her ability to cross the borders between soft and severe, hypnotic and ecstatic. Geneviéve and Dan Courtman present a mixture of post-industrial electronics and 80s minimal electro, ranging from hypnotic ambience to hard driving rhythmic dance tunes, dominated by Pasquier's breathy, wailing, militant and charismatic voice. This record comes in a beautiful tiny handcrafted package in Madame Pasquier's favorite colours, limited to 500 copies - handle with care!. $12.99

Genevieve Pasquier - Le Cabaret Moi
(Ant-Zen: Act231)
 |
Three years after Soap Bubble Factory and Virgin Pulses, Ant-Zen is proud to present Geneviéve Pasquier's new album. From the very first note the listener will be mesmerized by the elegant electronic pulses that are dominated by the persuasive/icy quality of her vulnerable and adorable voice. Le Cabaret Moi is Geneviéve Pasquier's very own cabaret. A cabaret which transforms her desires into fourteen songs of diverse styles (without regard to any arbitrariness). The music's scope ranges from subtle, slow-moving ambience (Changing, Nobody's Darling), electro noise tunes (Bouge!, Fusion), beautiful atmospheric lounge cabaret (Mon Cabaret), insistent electroid beats (Rubberpop) and finally into a furious rapid interpretation of the Normal's Warm Leatherette. At once beautiful and distant, Geneviéve Pasquier's delivery speaks to everyone's feelings of loneliness, anger and pleasure that crop up at some point in life. a revue of class and noblesse - enter and enjoy your stay.. $14.99

Geneviéve Pasquier - Le Cabaret Moi Special Edition
(Ant-Zen: Act231.1)

Special limited edition of Act231 w/ oversized 22page booklet (21x21cm) and inserts.. $27.00
|
Gerostenkorp - Terre Brulee
(OPN: OPNCD010)
 |
Interesting and highly unique CD from the French project Gerostenkorp; a hallucinatory, post-apocalyptic vision full of luminous, multi-layered sounds, that move from the surreal, fractured and dreamlike to something more structured, with sprinkles of tribal rhythms, industrial beats, loops, and actual songs. Features Phil of Von Magnet among others. I'm having a terrible time trying to pigeonhole this and I'm just not able. I pick up nuances of Skincage, The Young Gods, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Regardless, the production is impeccable.. $12.00

Ghosts of Breslau - Sacred Places
(Twilight Recordings: TW1.50)
 |
Third album by Ghosts of Breslau, this time a collection of material from numerous compilations, split releases and never before published tracks. Including the extremely limited and hard to get "Gas" mini-cd (released by Z-Bugle Records in China), a very special song "Warszawa" (intended for the now defunct 3 Days- 7inch vinyl series from Fluttering Dragon) and special guest appearance by Ritual Front. 18 tracks in all of haunting ambience and solemn, nostalgic filled atmospheres.. $9.00
|
Giancarlo Toniutti - La Mutazione
(Klanggalerie: Klang117)
 |
A milestone originally released in 1985 on the legendary Broken Flag label. Many people say ´La Mutazione´ is the darkest piece of music they have ever heard. I can't say I agree with that, but it's definitely dark and suffocating and strange in that early '80s industrial lo-fi way....3 long tracks of obscured, hallucinatory atmospheres from multiple origins (as the booklet will detail). If you're expecting, you know, Lustmord "Heresy" style groans and such, this will probably disappoint. But, it does have an unsettling, slowly creeping vibe that's definitely more genuine than anything being recorded nowadays. This compact disc edition comes with a previously unreleased bonus track and with updated artwork and 12-page booklet explaining the history of Toniutti's work. A classic for any fan of MB, Ramleh, or simply the Broken Flag label.. $14.99

Gjoll - Sum of Transformations
(Ant-Zen: Act237)
 |
On their third full length album this Icelandic project continues its ideological struggle against men's arrogance and pretend predominance. Wrathful but never nihilistic, Gjölls lyrics appeal to those who still keep an open mind, a large amount of hope, and the ability to separate right from wrong.Musically, Jóhann Eiríksson and Sigurður Harðarson have expanded their previous album's harsh eruptions into powerful ambient noise hymns and drones that are combined with a kind of post-krautrock feel. Sum of Transformations contrasts analogue guitar strokes with the digital iciness of dark and disturbing soundscapes. An outstanding release, both calming and intensely enraged at the same time. Not to be taken lightly.. $14.99
|
Gjoll - Way Through Zero
(Ant-Zen: Act177)
New to Ant Zen and something quite different than what youd normally expect out of their camp. "Way Through Zero" from Gjöll ( members of Reptilicus and Forgarður Helvitis ) is a conceptual journey through the evolution of mood and anger and ultimately hate. Utilising haunting, pulsing sub-basses, undulating synth layers over driving rhythmic sequence and noise drones, ambience and high frequency sonic attacks together with silent, melodic phrases, "Way Through Zero" is a commanding and challenging journey - add to the mix cut up vocals ( ranging from clear and whispered to distorted and hate-filled ) and you have a sonic journey not for the faint of heart. Funny, I listened to this just after the new Skin Area and and seemed sort of like an extension of that release, or at least it sounds like something Erik Jarl may have created. Presented in a jewel case with 16 page booklet including all lyrics in Icelandic and English. $8.99
Gnaw Their Tongues - All The Dread Magnificence Of Perversity
(Crucial Blast: CBR78)
 |
Picking up where 2008's An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood left off, Gnaw Their Tongues is back with nine new tracks of fearsome blackened orchestral chaos and abstract horror that still sounds like little else out there. On Dread, we're feeling an even heavier bass-assault compared to the other releases, and this is easily the heaviest Gnaw Their Tongues release yet. This monstrous, noxious bottom-end roar that skulks and slithers throughout the album suggests a foul fusion of Abruptum (which is still the closest reference point to Gnaw Their Tongue's black chaos) and Leonard Rosenman's most nightmarish film scores, piled in towering heaps of sadistic noise, warped orchestral strings, degraded samples, shrieking voices, and punishing lurching doom draped in suffocating atrmosphere. Hyper-abstract black metal sound-collage? Wagnerian avant-doom psychosis? That's one way of putting it, but Gnaw Their Tongues is ultimately impossible to pin down, defying simple categorization as this album plunges even deeper into a black pit of total cinematic horror, sexual perversion, and shapeless heaviosity.. $10.99

Gnaw Their Tongues - L'arrivee de la Terne Mort Triomphante
(Crucial Blast: CBR85)
 |
One of the extreme metal/industrial underground's most unique bands, Gnaw Their Tongues arises again with a new album of majestic, orchestral death-terror called L'arrivée de la Terne Mort Triomphante, a series of five hymns to the death shroud, a celebration of dissolution. This Dutch one-man avant black/doom/industrial band is responsible for two of the most chilling albums of abstract heaviness to have been released in recent years (An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood and All The Grand Magnificence Of Perversity, both from Crucial Blast), but with this new full-length, Gnaw Their Tongues peels back additional layers of it's bombastic horror to reveal moments of euphonic beauty more than we've heard on the previous albums. This is still harrowing stuff, though. The album opens with soaring choirs of the damned and a cacophony of tortured shrieks and demonic howling underneath a crushing, sludgy bass riff and pounding elephantine drumming, total blackened doom that's soon joined by peals of dissonant strings and softer droning cellos and violins. As you get deeper into " L'arrivée de la terne mort triomphante", there are moments of severe beauty that emerge, brief passages of fragile piano and mournful strings, the soft crackle of ancient vinyl grooves and French horns. These moments repeat throughout the album, lots of symphonic shadow that drifts amidst the pounding industrial blackness, but they never last for long as the spiraling woodwinds and cyclical piano figures inevitably become subsumed into the blasts of malevolent orchestral might. The fearsome martial drums and brass fanfares at the beginning of "Les anges frémissent devant la mort" eventually evolve into stretches of abstract industrial percussive pummel over droning strings and organ, and then into a stunning cinematic finale. That's followed by the clanking doom, swarming black buzz and sheet-metal cacophony of "La mort dans toute son ineffable grandeur/splendeur", the most industrial-sounding track on the album. "Le Chant De La Mort" is a lurching, blown-out death march that shifts into an infernal dubbed-out dirge, and the closing track " Le trône blanc de la mort (de white throne of death)" rumbles through funereal classical drift, waves of horns, strings, percussion surging into a series of dark, mournful shapes at first, but are then shattered by pounding doom metal drums and wailing choir voices, becoming an utterly grim blackened dirge with distorted shrieking vocals that are wracked with agony, ending the album with a suffocating atmosphere of death. At its heaviest, it's like funeral doom bathed in modern orchestral music, a cross between Penderecki and pitch-black doom filth, pulverizing and intensely evil. Of course, this is essential for fans of previous Gnaw Their Tongues albums, but it's equally recommended to fans of both abstract blackened weirdness of bands like Emit, Abruptum, and Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, and the bleak Wagnerian industrial of In Slaughter Natives and Shinjuku Thief. Like the previous two Gnaw Their Tongues releases on Crucial Blast, this comes in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket (which is exclusive to the North American release of this disc. $10.00

Golgatha - Tales of Transgression & Sacrifice
(Cold Meat Industry: CMI176)
 |
The French philosopher Georges Bataille serves as the inspiration for the new and third fulltime album of the German ritual-folk-band :Golgatha:. Founded in 2004 by Christoph Donarski and S. Marleni, :Golgatha: began in the dark realms of ambient-drones and continually developed their use of acoustic instruments to create a unique mixture organic and electronic elements. After two acclaimed albums on the subject of heroism, Tales of Transgression & Sacrifice marks a certain change of course in the music of :Golgatha: in a psychonautic trip from ritual-drumming via multi-textured soundscapes up to catchy folk-songs this album appears even more sensual, erotic and fascinating than before.Included are new versions of the songs Rites of Spring (from CMI-compilation All My Dead Friends), Garden of Love(from NONPOP-compilation) and Flesh of the Orchid. This time :Golgatha: introduce the beautiful female voice of Sorakey besides a wide variety of acoustic instrumentation (acoustic guitar, viola, bodhran drum, Asian gong, flutes etc.). Tales of Transgression & Sacrifice was produced in close collaboration with German photo-artist Birthe Klementowski, who has done mystic and erotic pictures for each song contained, reproduced in the booklet.The new album by German ritual-folk-band :Golgatha: will appeal to fans of apocalyptic folk, shamanistic soundscapes and gothic-mysticism alike.Comes in a very exclusive DVD-sized digipak with 32 pages booklet. $14.99

Golgatha - The Waste Land
(Cold Meat Industry: CMI198)
 |
The German ritual-folk-formation :Golgatha: was founded in 2004 by Christoph Donarski. The first full length album ‘Waste Land’ after two compilation tracks appeared in an edition of 100 hand-numbered CD-rs. Published by the musician himself it shed first light on things to come. ‘Waste Land’ is the rare prequel to the acclaimed and successful 2008-album ‘Sang Graal’ (with Dawn & Dusk Entwined) and is itself inspired by T. S. Eliot’s enigmatic grail-poem ‘The Waste Land’ which works as a key metaphor for a spiritually dying world.On “Waste Land” sinister and pessimistic soundscapes unfold and spread fragmented allusions and remarks on spiritual death and cultural clash. The symbolic name of :Golgatha: - which is the execution hill in Jerusalem where Jesus had been crucified - was never more fitting than in this early apocalyptic soundtrack for an Inner Cinema, carried by ritual drums, dark drones, mysterious sounds and sacred voices.For this re-release the original sound was totally re-mastered and appears more powerful than ever before. The original artwork is added by bleak photos from the same era to complete the image. This CD contains two original versions of tracks later remixed by Dawn & Dusk Entwined for ‘Sang Graal’. Bonus tracks: two combined tracks from ‘In the Crystal Cage’-compilation (2004) and ‘Shred your skin’ from the SAW II-soundtrack by Charlie Clouser (Trisol).‘Waste Land’ is a terrifying soundtrack for the Kali Yuga, the darkest of ages. Comes in a 6-panel digipak.. $13.99

Golgatha & Dawn and Dusk Entwined - Sang Graal
(Cold Meat Industry: CMI184)
 |
Sang Graal is an opus magnum, built in symbiotic collaboration during the last two years by the French masters of martial neo-classic Dawn and Dusk Entwined and the German Ritual-folk-band :Golgatha: - both formations well know from their recent albums on CMI. Both bands worked on all tracks together, combining their styles and forces to create a powerful neo-classical-folk-opera with occasional glimpses of soundtrack pathos and dark ambience. A wide range of acoustic instruments was used (guitar, viola, bass guitar, flute, gong, piano, dulcimer, percussion) and at least three vocalists appear including Sorakey from :Golgatha:s appraised Tales of Transgression and Sacrifice. Martial tunes like The Messiah or Cross of Lorraine and majestic folk hymns like Crusade and A Seeker Divine will rule the darkest dance floors worldwide, while introspective ballads invite those interested in a deep listening experience. Sang Graal is true aural mythology!The title refers to the myth of the Saint Graal, the holy grail, and the sang réal, the bloodline of Jesus Christ. The album researches on various levels the different readings of the grail through the centuries, from an ancient fertility rite to the popular conspiracy theory.In its astral-mythical origins, long before its Christian interpretation, the Holy Grail is the spring and the magic cauldron of daylight itself the Sun. But the Sun has to be cut from the clouds and to be won: Indra in the Indian myth and Thor in the Germanic myth were the heroes who conquered the cauldron of the Sun through the Spear of Lightning. Only later this cauldron became the Christian chalice, in which Joseph of Arimatäa caught the blood of Christ, this differently hot essence from the Other Sun
Ernst Bloch, The Principle of HopeThe pagan roots of this myth are once again revealed!The 6-pages digipak features unique photos by Birthe Klementowski and photos/artwork by David Sabre.. $14.99

(Steinklang: SKD08)

Proper re-issue of the first, lmtd 100 GAF CD, with bonus tracks. Conceptual eco-terrorism based concept, though its hard to tell beyond a few select samples. Writhing, bristling, shock-inducing-electrodes- to- the-nads, heavy electronics. Lots of saturation, dangerous, staticy fuzz, jagged edged noise, and an overall fuck you attitude.. $12.50
|

Grobbing Thristle - Hidden Strategies
(Beast of Prey: Bop6.8)
 |
Who would expect that under the name Grobbing Thristle are hidden mutated clones of Genesis P. Orridge, will be surprised by the amount of sound strategies used by the Polish ensemble. On one of the levels Grobbing Thristle play steel symphony of postindustrial earthy Inferno. Noisy wind of clicks, cracks, laptop grinds, insect like microsamples and psychotic looped vocals lead into paranoic world like in novels of Philipa K.Dicka. The thing that scares here the most is by paradox, the most common and accustom element - voice. The words "...So yes I have to go now, so bye bye..." opening the album sound like a goodbye before descending into the abyss. But this is a hell of cybernetic robots - this is a music that brings pain. Fortunately for artistic might of the recordings GT knows how to dose. $11.99

Grunt - Peeturien Rooli
(Freak Animal: FreakCD049)

Peeturien presents some of the new sides of Grunt, but with the touch known from before. No harsh noise, but an innovative mixture of fierce power electronics with echoes of early 80´s Ramleh & Sutcliffe Jugend, experimental organic noise influences a la Organum & Ferial Confine, as well as heavy dominant euro PE/industrial attacks with rhythic elements and metal percussion in the vein of Vivenza, Test Dept and Militia. Exclusively Finnish language lyrics and samples, with themes related to the history of Finland from the early turbulent years of civil war to the post-WWII atmosphere. 64 minutes with 9 songs presenting a wide variety of moods, sound sources, compositions, and approaches, blended into album that could be said is unique, even in the extensive Grunt discography.. $14.99
