Contributors include vidnaObmana, Vir Unis, Saul Stokes, Michael Bentley (eM), and, of course, the inspirator Interstitial (John Koch-Northrup). The starting point, 'sub. Terra', is a composition that blends ambient textures with adventuresome trumpet excursions into a truly unique hybrid sound. As John (Interstitial) tells it, 'sub. …
Interweaving #1
“interweaving #1” is the sound-aesthetic result of an improvised session by rsn and NAGEN. With a setup of stereo guitar, bass, electric kalimba, selfbuilt instruments like the "portanuum", sampled field recordings and some little synths, seven songs or sound collages were created, which combine the drone and ambient of rsn with the improvisational art of NAGEN. “interweaving #1” is a dynamic sound experience with a focus on noise and drone, but much more.

The Salamander Treaty
Over the years, Andreas O. Hirsch has shaped a distinctive sound, exploring the possibilities of the electro-acoustic instruments he constructs. The Carbophone as well as the Electrified Palm Leaf are plucked instruments akin to the African Kalimba or Mbira. In combination with effects and loops, Hirsch creates an experimental space, influenced by early electronics, Asian and African music as well as the possibilities of editing and collage. The majority of the pieces on The Salamander Treaty we…

Interior Music
After a collage tape collab with Bardo Todol back in 2022 (SUC52, Magnetic Road to Hell) Robert Millis finally gets his Discrepant debut proper, a much overdue entryin our random catalogue of lost musical oddities.
The not so self explanatory title Interior Music explores Millis obsession with hidden sounds and its anomalies. An hermetic rearrangement of emptiness could be another more big headed title. But I leave the man to talk about his thing:
‘’The phrase interior music occurred to me a few…
Grey Interiors
An imperial phase Actress commits a lushly amorphous installation piece made for the Berliner Festspiele to vinyl, rendering a post-industrial symphony full of iridescent shifts in gyring, OOBE-like spatial coordinates landing somewhere between nutopian ambient, kankyō ongaku and sawn-off bass science.
‘Grey Interiors’ was made in collaboration with Actual Objects and is an absorbing animation and navigation of those post-human ideals that have prompted Darren J. Cunningham to his best work acro…
If Tomorrow Gets Here

A towering statement from one of experimental music’s most singular voices, If Tomorrow Gets Here compiles a vast selection of Kevin Drumm’s recent self-released and unreleased works into a single, panoramic whole. Spanning ten discs, this collection captures Drumm’s prolific output across his many moods: from searing noise and tension-laced drone to haunted ambient drift and pointillist electroacoustics. Not merely an archive, this box acts as a sonic self-portrait, unfolding the br…
Overspill Estates
Overspill Estates EP is a new four track EP from Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan, which delves back into the Your Community Hub sessions to uncover some gems that had been forced off the album. Gordon Chapman-Fox, the genius behind WRNTDP says “I’d worked on these tracks for the best part of a year, and, in my mind, they were a fundamental part of the whole Your Community Hub project. I was heartbroken when they couldn’t make it onto the album, so it’s an enormous relief to see them…
Sister, Brother, Lover....
*2025 Stock* Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing (with obi strip) – including two bonus tracks - housed in single tip-on linen paper sleeve. Includes four page insert with rare photos and extensive liner notes by Brian Young. Originally issued by Regal Zonophone in 1971, this highly sought after release has never been reissued on LP officially. The band's sound has been likened to that of the twin lead guitar style of Help Yourself/early Wishbone Ash with refined vocals. The songs are spiced with ta…
Abyss
It's pitch black, freezing cold and the water pressure is unbearable: we are in the depths of the sea, where sunlight no longer penetrates. The deep ocean remain full of mysteries for man: dark places where only partially known creatures live.
The series that Doom Catacomb has dedicated to the most inhospitable places on planet Earth continues: after the perennial ice of "Polar" and the boiling deserts of "Arid" it is now the turn of the ocean depths. "Abyss" is an inexorable and exciting descen…
The Dark Seal
A recurring dream, macabre visions in which a symbol appears, a seal of a mysterious shape that you have never seen before. The dream becomes an obsession, acquiring details as the nights pass. Details that lead to an ancient dungeon dug into the mountain north of the city. It is not the treasures that can be found there that drive you to search, but the mystery of the Dark Seal. You gather a group of adventurers and rogue like you to face the expedition into the caves: each of you is driven by …
Berserker
Orcus is a fantasy synth champion who made us dream first with the track entitled "The Pyramid" included in HDK Dungeon-synth Magazine n.3 and then with the incredible album "Heroes of the Last Glare", a crystalline masterpiece of epic-synth music. Finally Orcus returns, with a thundering Sword & Sorcery-themed album, dedicated to the heroine created by the writer Bludgeon: Lorelei the Berserker. The album is the soundtrack to the hard-boiled adventures of the bloodthirsty half-naked barbarian t…
The Empire Of The Necromancers
Gosh!! A smelling, rotting ooze invaded the HDK offices!A bleak and morbid tape spins in our ghettoblasters: it's "The Empire of the Necromancers" by the necrophilist musician Doom Catacomb, a hymn to the dark recesses of humid dungeons...
Inspired by the omonymous novel of the divine Clark Ashton Smith (1893 – 1961) "Empire of the Necromancers" is a little, intense album of classic dungeon-synth music, devoted to the pioneers from the glorious 90s.
The Short And Foolish Quest Of Sylovar And Hrud
NEVER APPROACH THE GODS OF THE IMMATERIAL PLANS WITHOUT POWER, KNOWLEDGE AND A CLEAR MIND! Heimat der Katastrophe is very happy to present the album by Silencio Permanente, a dungeon synth champion from Argentina! The album, based on an original screenplay by the underground heroic-fantasy writer Gian Spazz, is a little, vintage ambient jewel, halfway between the golden era of New Age music and the 80's horror movies soundtracks. In this album the dungeon-synth meets the great names of the ambie…
Wizards of the Watchtower
The enigmatic psych rock duo The Psychic Circle return with their third album, 'Wizards of the Watchtower', arriving March 7th via Library of the Occult Records. Comprised of Tom McDowell (Dream Division, Library of the Occult Records) and Jack Harris, the group once again conjures dark electronic krautrock, doom-laden psych, and motorik grooves, channeling a sound that is equal parts hypnotic and heavy.
A ritualistic blend of Black Sabbath’s crushing riffage and Can’s relentless drive, Wizards …
The Séance At Hobs Lane
The next in an ongoing series of Ghost Box back catalogue re-issues, Séance at Hobs Lane is an overlooked classic of British electronics. Its sinister atmospherics are comprised of VCS3 synthesizer squalls, howling guitar, skronking sax, and oddly haunting keyboard and cello melodies. The album has a similar eccentric and disturbing atmosphere to the work of great mid-century British experimentalists like Desmond Leslie, Daphne Oram or Tristram Carey.
Hobs Lane is the fictional tube station whe…
In De Verte, Dit Uitzicht
'In de verte, dit uitzicht’ is Abel Ghekiere's second album. It is a celebration of beauty and sudden bursts of euphoria and melancholy, hidden in the distinctive soft and fragile sound of Ghekiere's music. Much more personal than on his debut record, he calls out to the world.Working with voice samples and field recordings, voice and improvisation take centre stage. Sounds from outside are subtly interwoven with instruments, while conversations and memories act as a thread running through the c…
