Barrikad/Hydra + Death Squad - Split 10”
(Segerhuva: Seger7)
Last release from Greg Scott (Hydra) before his untimely demise (r.i.p. brother). Swedish anarchists Barrikad take control of the one side; revving noise with persistent, distortion drench wailings and wet electronic spasms. Hydra+ Death Squad collaborate on the flip side with crackling, low-level , minimalistic pulsations and rumblings with spoken vocals. Even while this whole thing remains moderately ‘atmospheric’, there’s a sense of palpable danger coming right around the corner. I like.. $13.00
Birch Book - Fortune & Folly LP
(Ahnstern: Ahnstern35)
 |
This classic Folk milestone also out on vinyl now! Comes in heavy fold-out cover, with 2 exclusive extra-songs. Recorded on San Juan Island of the Pacific Northwest, Fortune & Folly is the fitting second volume of BIRCH BOOK (also known as IN GOWAN RING). Assuming the allegorical emblems of The Wheel of Fortune and The Traveling Fool, Fortune & Folly distill the introspections of a perennial rambler reckoning the Bitter and the Bliss of The Road Less Traveled. Drifting away from the overtly psychedelic, medieval, and soporific atmosphere which typified IN GOWAN RING, Bee displays a more organic, individualistic approach to songwriting. Fortune & Folly blends elements of idiosyncratic folk-pop and outcast-country with brooding layers of sound and sense, yielding a spectral ethereality in a captivating chiaroscuro thick with the visionary allusions of a haunted wanderer. About Birch Book: Variously labeled 'Wyrd', 'Psychedelic' or 'Avant Folk', IN GOWAN RING extend roots into poetic-folk traditions while cultivating an inimitable, self-attuned writing style that prefigured the new-psyche-folk movement. As poet, pilgrim, progenitor of wyrd-folk and maestro of IN GOWAN RING, Jon Michael Beirth (otherwise B'ee) has developed a homespun sonic tapestry with peculiar richness of vision; recording over ten full length albums and performing throughout North America & Europe in veritable itinerant fashion amidst a dozen years against the grain. As well as composing the original material for BIRCH BOOK & IN GOWAN RING, Bee collects renditions of traditional songs and builds many of the acoustic instruments featured in performances and recordings such as the recent lyre-guitar & leaf cittern. Though largely self-taught, he has didactically studied the music of the Trouvères and Troubadours, the counterpoint of the High Renaissance, and modern orchestration. 54 min. / 13 . Lmtd 400, in gatefold cover. SALE!!. $9.99

Black Sun - Paralyser LP
(At War With False Noise: Atwar036)
 |
First ever vinyl release from the UK's most pummeling and heavy doom metal band. Black Sun come out of left-field with their most fully-formed body of work thus far: a raging statement of intent that doesn't let up or fail to engage from the opening guttural screams to the final thunderous crash. Swans-esque lessons in harsh rhythmical battery... drone wizardry... post-Neurosis chorus... mid-90s metalcore sound... sub-industrial and pounding, rhythmic monotony. File next to Swans, Godflesh, Sunn O))) etc. Ltd x 500 copies with A3 insert with old-school black and white block artwork. $12.99

Blod - Red Light Companion 3LP Boxset
(Segerhuva: Seger22)
 |
Offered here is three full length vinyl LPs by the Swedish master of harsh noise minimalism and perversity -- BLOD.In the late 90's, Blod released two full length tapes that were only distributed in a mere handful of copies. Both these recordings are now presented in this box, on one LP each. The third LP contains the Blod tracks from his split CDR with Goat on the Japanese Xerxes label -- it was high time to have these tracks presented on vinyl. Also featured on this third LP in the box are a number of Blod tracks from various compilations.All in all, this box stands as a monument to the heavy noise genius of Jesper Forselius and his BLOD. Hailed by harsh noise fanatics over the world, Blod's music is a unique offering of perverse singlemindedness shaped into sick monolithic slabs of noise.Red Light Companion is a limited edition of 255 copies in full colour box that holds three vinyl LPs, liner notes, and an art photo by Jesper Forselius. ORDERS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES MUST CONTACT BEFORE ORDERING TO ADJUST FOR SUBSTANTIAL POSTAGE. malignant@03.malignantrecords.com. $42.00
