S.F.A.G. / S.F.A.G. De-Composed
*2022 stock* "Ante-facts : after the disintegrative period of my production (from “Symphony for a Genocide” to “Das Testament”), the purchase of a misanthropic echo-machine and the consequent decay of the electric-analogue machinery, my efforts was redirected to a pre-recording sound sublimation, so I started to re-compose the electronic metastasis of early times, filtering through dehumanizing effects of the echo-machine, keeping attention particularly to the explanatory process of my ancestral…
The Less You Know, The Better
*2022 stock* ...Zero point. Death. Ultimate stop. Internal. External.. the transgression of things to be and never be again. Secrets weave milky webs, textures kill the progress of disaster & yet the fevered bleakness endures. There are no highlights here, only the darkness. That of the far graces of space released. You, the lost vacant listener cross paths with three of the scariest people alive. The less you know the better...
Great collaboration by the famous Swedish duo "Nordvargr / Drakh" (…
The Dromopoda Transmissions
*2022 stock* The Dromopoda Transmissions must be considered one of the most complex and strange recordings in Sweden´s most prolific experimental artist Henrik Nordvargr Björkk´s career. The recordings are made up of field recordings (amplified sounds from insects and nature), radio transmissions and improvised electronic soundscapes that all come together to create a suffocating wall of sounds you have never heard before. Cold and desolate sonic landscapes that lets your imagination paint pictu…
The Dead Never Sleep
*2022 stock* The undisputed master of nordic darkness & leading mind of MZ.412 returns once again from his cellar with a new offering for OEC.

Without comparison, this is the only fix of darkambient you need this year to satisfy your needs. Take heed as the de…

Evolution
*2022 stock* 2 Nordvargr albums at the price of one! Showing two faces of Nordvargr complex sounds : Disc one of Evolution is firmly rooted in classic Nordvargr territories - darkambient but with a slight MZ. 412 touch, as it has some more bombastic and noisy elements to it than what we are used to hear from him. Disc two is divided in two parts - first 8 tracks from the Avart sessions ("Music for movement"). Part two is four tracks which are more "elektronika"-styled tracks, and shows another s…
