Release type: Full-length 

Style: Noise/Ambient

Country: Canada

Label: Brise-Cul Records 

Format: MP3@VBR V2

Size: 81 mb

About Release:

CDR (Brise-Cul reissue of a 2006 self-released recycled tape only availlable in Montreal’s Distroboto Machine. This is one of my favourite release that was made in the last year and the ephemere nature of it made me ask legendary Montreal axeman Chris Burns for a re-release. This insane release consist of 2 long tracks of a very telented guitarist exploring many sounds coming form his guitar behind a big wall of feedback. Unusual manipualtion, cavernous sounds and direct atmosphere make this release unique in its genre. We discuss about this release for years, so now that it’s out, jump on this KVLT recording…

Shearing Pinx - 2009 - Weaponry Part 1

Release type: Full-length 

Style: Noise Rock

Country: Canada 

Label: Divorce 

Format: MP3@VBR V2

Size: 57 mb 

MySpace

About Release:

In return the Pinx have gone all in with the new material. Weaponry Part 1 is a mountain that will remain visible in the sea of astounding, bizarre releases Shearing Pinx have been pouring for the last half decade. It is made clear from the first moments of the opening track; the Vancouver trio has been committed here to tape while in rare form. This LP sets up a classic, demento-tuned twin guitar battle where a nonchalant vocal delivery squares off against the drum set s muscular fake jazz-jizz-isms. William S. Burroughs used a shotgun to create paintings. Shearing Pinx use musical instruments to wound and maim. Tunes for the unglued. Artwork by Rick White of Eric's Trip / Elevator / Rick White Album. Edition of 600

Country: Poland 

Label:  LYNX

Format: MP3@VBR V2

Size: 73 mb 

Official | MySpace

About Release:

The new album - " Beauty " - consists of ten tracks about the Paradise about the Earth and 'bout us...our feelings, dreams,hopes, ..and ignorance finally .The sounds lead us through the dreamy lanscapes of Eden restored and grey reality of our present existence as well. The arrangements filled with dark and low pitched vocal parts by Marek Juza are veiled in his delicate orchestral melodies and heavy riffs by Marcin Kruczek. All that is based on strong, live percussion and drum 'spine' formed by Grzegorz Bauer.They all create fascinating pictures colorized by Piotr Bylica who play cello. But this time...these are not only ballads...same us our life is not an idyll...some parts express the dreams...other what we face day by day...how we live...and what we're sick of...We find some gothic, dark wave, neoclassical and even doom elements in Metus' music this time...To condense the whole atmosphere...all the piano parts are played by Krzysztof Lepiarczyk who's created such original keyboard parts on former Metus' albums and the final notes are played on classical guitar by Marcin. The solo drum parts are remarcable and together with expressive singing create a surprising image....as if we stand on a cliff...under the dark cobalt sky...and The Garden streatches toward the horizon...and suddenly you're wakeing up...enjoy!

About Release:

K.K. Null is one of Japan's finest, and most admired experimental music composers ever. This album is loud, abrasive and out there, and it is just what you'd hoped it would sound like. He is able to sculpt noise like clay into an image as equally dark as light, artistic and savage submissive and dominant, the most sublime of the most painful of art. This is uneasy listening, to the max Recorded live at the Electron Festival in Geneva Switzerland on March 22, 2008 This is his latest release, as part of the "Outer Bounds of Sound" LP series. It is only being released on vinyl, in an edition of 300 copies with a handmade cover

Merzbow - 2009 - Camouflage

Release type: Full-length 

Style: Noise 

Country: Japan 

Label: Essence Music

Format: MP3@VBR V2

Size: 98 mb 

Official

About Release:

Recorded & mixed at Bedroom, Sep-Oct 2007. Artwork by Masami Akita. Mastered by Anders Peterson. Limited edition of 800 copies. Miniature gatefold lp sleeve packaging.

The elemental excitement for each new Merzbow album remains intact among us here and, after four long years, the undisputable master returns to Essence Music with a new installment of his unique brand of harsh psychedelic noise assault. A bit distant from Sha Mo 3000’s pulsing, often rhythmic strategies or the recent albums featuring freestyle drums by Masami Akita himself, Camouflage plays by the more straight MERZBOW rules, going back to his comfort zone of audio barbarism. We salute the ferocious torrents of abused, imploding and exploding electronics, the sharp, pulverizing and abrasive high frequencies and the unrelenting punishment of frenzied throbbing machine-screams witnessed in the controlled cacophonic environment of Camouflage! Presented in our deluxe, sturdy gatefold mini-LP packaging featuring intriguing psychedelic collages by Mr. Akita. Limited to 800 copies.

Kirlian Camera - 2009 - Odyssey Europa (4 CD, Limited Edition Box)

Release type: Compilation 

Style: Electronic/Experimental/Darkwave 

Country: Italy - Germany 

Label: Out Of Line 

Format: MP3@VBR V2

Size: 448 mb 

MySpace

About Release:

Kirlian Camera is one of those special music projects that will have connoisseurs raving on about how good they are with glowing eyes, that manages to fuse sonic experiments, club-compatibility, anthemic pathos and a wholly unique aura into a one-of-a-kind experience and that has been able to span generations of fans. A comprehensive retrospective of this Italian cult band was more than overdue, especially since large parts of their older discography are now out of print and very hard to obtain. On this long-awaited compilation titled “Odyssey Europa”, Angelo Bergamini and Elena Alice Fossi are not content with just looking back on their past, though, but cleverly build a bridge to their current sound by including new recordings of their classic tunes, as well. Thus, cult-hits, such as “Eclipse”, “Heldenplatz” or “Erinnerung”, all mandatory spins at any decent underground club, are included both in their rare original versions and in new interpretations that convey the full power of Kirlian Camera anno 2009. “Odyssey Europa” will be released as a regular double CD that features new versions of classic songs and the best tracks from recent history plus the long-deleted original versions. The real fan will want to go for the classy 4-CD box set, though, that comes in a lavish book-style hard cover with deluxe booklet and 2 posters and also includes selected rarities, unreleased tracks and remixes on two more discs. “Odyssey Europa” – the ultimate Kirlian Camera!

Women in Tragedy I think is a name was spread all along the way since the first time I played with him like 3 years ago... Changes sometimes are in a good way, WIT is now more melodic, more emotionnal but it still has the great sound we love from this leading Toronto Drone/Shoegaze artist... Very very different from our first release, 2006Æs Tragic Life, but very similar to his recent stuff but with a very intense emotional personnal vibe... I think Women In Tragedy has now reach a form of maturity that very few will reach and that you felt it was just in an embryonic phase earlier on...

Dawn & Dusk Entwined - 2009 - Cathédrales De Brume

Release type: Full-length

Style: Ambient 

Country:  France

Label: Aube Et Crèpuscule 

Format: MP3@VBR V2

Size: 90 mb 

MySpace 1 | 2

About Release: 

Dawn & Dusk Entwined keeps following its path since its debuts on World Serpent ten years ago till the recent albums on Cold Meat Industry, with the soundtrack of the sci-fi novel Cathdrales de brume by the French authors Oksana and Gil Prou. This new album is not to be considered as a "usual" Dawn & Dusk Entwined new album, because it was composed under the inspiration of the novel and even keeps the same name. It is noticeable that this kind of project (the release of both a book and an soundtrack album at the same time) see the light of day, especially for the French readers who can appreciate the complementarity of such a project. It succeeds in crystallizing and magnifying the various adventures of a surreal plot, creating a real soundtrack about the destiny of a human condemned to wander simultaneously in the arcanes of space and of his inner psyche. Creating such a soundtrack allows more freedom to explore alternate musical fields and schemes, offering here a full instrumental album with often shorter tracks but also far more different and surprising atmospheres...   It ranges from the recognizable Damp;DE trademark, martial and symphonic sound, to dark ambiant through lighter melodic pieces and onirical fantasies, and even some oriental or spacey sounds!

Triarii - 2008 - Muse In Arms

Release type: Full-length 

Style: Neoclassical/Martial Industrial 

Country: Germany

Label:  Eternal Soul Records

Format: MP3@CBR 320 Kbps

Size: 117 mb 

MySpace

About Release:

"There is a decidedly imperial tone to Triarii's third album "Muse in Arms", thunderous percussion and swooping orchestral arrangements abound throughout the duration of this record. Triarii employ a devious sense of both historical somberness and a righteous indignation at the world as it is today. Christian Erdmann, who is Triarii, makes quite the photogenic poster boy for teutonic aloofness and Mediterranean cool. I look through the liner notes of this vindictive album and who do I find in the credits, none other than ambient/experimental/"martial" pioneer J. Hauvukainen. The man behind In Slaughter Natives. It all coalesces upon this little revelation just why it is that I'm so beguiled by the sounds of "Muse in Arms". This is not to say that Mr. Erdmann is without merit on his own, as his previous two albums clearly show but the stridency has been tempered by some requiem-esque symphonic passages which rend my soul. Having a pair of ears belonging to the likes of In Slaughter Natives mastering your work is never a bad thing for this line of music. Triarii is an act that when one closes their eyes they can see things happening to. Whether these things are good or not is entirely up to the disposition of the listener. As he clearly states in the sleeve: "Art is never only left or right, nor is it only black or white. Life is not that simple". I suppose the closest approximation I could make for how this album rates to me would be to compare it to the first time I heard Sophia's "Herbstwerk" in 2001. I simply did not know exquisite beauty could be contained in the midst of such bombastic overtures. This truly is a splendid record, one which I happen to think is quite pretty, despite the tones of aggression which like leaded lashes leave their scars across it's porcelain skin."

Triarii - 2006 - Pièce Héroique

Release type: Full-length

Country: Germany

Label:  Eternal Soul Records

Format: MP3@CBR 320 Kbps

Size: 125 mb 

MySpace

About Release:

"Ave Imperator, morituri te salutant. So creep Triarii on ‘Pièce Héroique’, their cindery follow-up to ‘ars militaria’, a triumphal arch of bombast and orchestral swells limned with choir and dark vocals. Encapsulating the Trajan typeface dominating the album’s cover in strong caps – puissant blocks of line, crisp geometrically carved serifs, and curving harmonic arches – so enfolds the music that launches with the opening track, ‘Le Crépuscule Des Dieux’. Accentuating a dark glory of Empire strings lend the air minatory aplomb, marching without percussion usher arteries of choir and strings offering skyward libations to swell in a grandiose climax. This initial inertia drives the entire album, a military mantle of resolute and unequivocal delivery, crepuscular as it is uplifting. Without detracting from the inexplicable presence of ‘Pièce Héroique’, this album picks up where Puissance reached, if rarely. Tracks like ‘On Wings of Steel’ lash bone, flesh and iron as carapace of an army streaming death on a battlefield, a chilling anthem that give pause to all those that would oppose, growling sinister lyrics of inescapable intention. Triarii plough an epic across earth and sky, churning the defeated with ritual percussion, eddying strings and heralding the end of dawn, the end of day on French horns. Not all tracks feature lyrical content, preferring instead to mix instrumental movements amidst thunderous military argot, breaking the intense aphasiac bolides with valedictory parallax as one’s body bleeds under the booted feet of the passing legionnaires. Guest featuring on the album on ‘Roses 4 Rome’, comes welcome repast with Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, in a folk epic classic meshing Tomas Pettersson’s fomenting vocals and guitar with the aegis of Triarii’s orchestration. ‘Kingdom of the Blind’ peels away journey for destruction, a dark ambient monologue of chaos and ululations from the deep as the very earth quivers, illumination of a stark aftermath where surface the subtle symphony experimenting in desperate dimensions. Incarnation emits from ruins of ‘Heaven and Hell’, like moths from chrysalis the dark symphony scatters at the demagogue commandments. The entire album falls short of a full sixty minutes, yet by the end of the fusillades the listener is well and truly mollified, subdued, peeled of skin and dreams of anything else but a world crowned in crumbling Corinthian pillars and ashes of civilization. With ‘Pièce Héroique’, Triarii have supplanted the mettle of their previous recordings, showing the potency that they so keenly deliver here."
