We Don't Drink Alone
Division S are here again - and this time they don't drink alone. As always, the Italians have an unhealthy obsession with alcohol, as is testified not only in the name of the album and many of the tracks, but also the music. There is a psychedelic, outlandish weirdness to be found in the weird atmosphere and feel of this music. What to call it? Tags one often finds attached to Division S ring hollow and untrue on a deep level, despite being superficially suitable. Yes, there are elements of neo…
Krieger...denn Dein Ist Dein Reich
Originally released in 2002 as limited edition of 450 handnumbered copies 12" on 220g vinyl.
Conglomerate Malaction
With titles such as Membranous Glomerunonephritis, Cleidocranial Dysostosis and Alessitimia (more familiar to English-speakers as alexithymia), Italian Whiterat firmly put the focus of Conglomerate Malaction on all things disfigured, diseased and aberrant. In the form of a vicious deluge of harsh noise, the tape plunges deep into the distressing, mortifying depths of corruption.
Blaring walls of crackling static; distorted and manipulated sounds of abused metal; ear piercing shrill screeching. F…
Our Hearts Are Like Open Graves - And Your Names Are Written On The Stones!
Do you like your power electronics totally old school, totally depraved, totally filthy? Then look no further: Swedish/American project Kontakt Service (joint union of Ideal Father and Human Vault) will provide just what you're looking for. With the pictures and quotes on the cassette sleeve lifted from the classic Swedish crime smut magazine Kriminal Journalen, one could say Kontakt Service are wearing their heart on their sleeve. This is all about that classic low-brow tabloid sleaze.
And musi…
Dämmerung
"Dämmerung" is the second compilation release by Dark Awake, the first one being released in 2015. With a discography tens of releases in almost 20 years, the time is certainly ripe for the Greek project to release another one. Starting from 2013's "Soil, Blood ...And The Reaping Of Light" and proceeding all the way to 2024's "Archemoros", this tape is an authoritative slice-through of the Greek project's extensive back catalogue. The selection of eleven older tracks is completed by one previous…
Total Purge For The Living
Total Purge For The Living is a whole made of contrasts. Harsh, abrasive, chaotic power electronics noise exploding with distorted violence meshes with atmospheric, ominous yet peaceful layers of slowly evolving synths. Deafening noise gives way to powerful percussions. Distorted, disturbing speech samples are laden over minimalistic drones. Vologne draws power from the friction of these internally opposed elements, creating industrial noise compositions with considerable emotional and atmospher…
The Sky Falls Down
Hot on the heels of last year's tape EP "Total Purge For The Living" (also on Steinklang), French Vologne present their debut album. "Lost Illusions Turned Into Black Rage" continues, evolves and expands upon the EP, elevating Vologne's industrial soundscapes to the next level. Whilst still firmly rooted in the tradition of analogue synthesizer driven power electronics, death industrial and harsh noise, the album expands the French one-man project's palette with, for example, elements from rhyth…
The Sky Falls Down
Hailing from Viterbo in north western Italy, Alya Serpentis are a duo performing neofolk/dark folk. On "The Sky Falls Down", their debut release, they present a brand of neofolk that is at the same time both traditional and experimental. "The Sky Falls Down" deals with the dichotomy of matter and spirit, science and religion, and man stuck in the middle. Alya Serpentis make their unusual sound into a vessel for the mystery, wonder and dismay of a world that on one hand defies and exceeds descrip…

Maranatha
Marana tha is the sole full-length statement by Megan Sue Hicks, a quietly incandescent artifact of early 70s psychedelic folk. Cut in Australia and pressed in microscopic quantities, it frames intimate, spiritually tinged songs in hushed acoustic settings that feel both homespun and faintly otherworldly.

Like its predecessor, this work originally appeared on tape for Aquamarin Verlag (1982).

Real Time Two
** Edition of 250 copies, remastered from the original master tapes ** Recorded live in concert. Rome, Italy December 12-13, 1977 by Nicola Bernardini and at Teatro Comunale, Pistoia, Italy December 14, 1977 by Carla Lugli. "It was a magic evening. Not only did the trio burst with a creative energy that was homogeneous and interactive, but the acoustics, usually inadequate, of the half-empty sports pavilion with a capacity of 10,000 people, gave the music an ethereal transparency and crystalline…
