The year is 1943.

We also know that the convoy, which we assume is under the Count's command, left Belgrade yesterday and that he set out through the Morava valley to the south. We do not know the further intentions or the dest…

In the beginning, it was only the knights who dominated the world of Zargo. Over the course of centuries, thanks to their strength, they had built castles on the four continents, subjugating all humans, in agreement with the Wizards, custodians of the art of Visions and Knowledge...

*60 copies limited edition* A few months ago the tranquility of Heimat Der Katastrophe headquarters was broken by an astonishing find: poking through the garbage, we came across a tape of dark recordings dating back to a period between the 80s and 90s.

Between the late 70s and the late 90s, a lot of private TV stations…

'There is a beguiling sense of simplicity in the complexity of le temps. In the scale of its orchestra - containing at least samulnori, clubs, bicycle bells, and bathtub plugs - that could be confused for just the kit. In the breadth of technique, in opening, closing, rubbing, and other gestures that confront the ear with a blown snare but could otherwise pass as traditional play. In the seemingly singular focus on one aspect of the kit in each vignette, the metal of rims and cymbals in “ouvertu…

*In process of stocking* Second Sleep presents Port Tedio by Disso.

"This is also connected with exorcism. In the ruling system of medieval religion and politics, demons, devils, etc. were treated as viruses that could contaminate the governing system or as bad sectors inside the memory that caused malfunctions. Since the devil constructs a position value in the system through the body of a person possessed by the devil, it is necessary to find out the devil’s real name, that is, the prototype code or pattern information in order to expel the devil. Therefore, i…

The opening track of “Concerto Wah Wah” measure…
