Trouble
Trouble is the brand-new dispatch from the assorted output of Kevin Drumm and sits as one of the quietest in his entire catalog. A single continuous 54-minute excursion into the netherworld of the audio spectrum, Trouble is neither ambient nor drone, but a more complex investigation into the deep recesses of sound. One which discreetly works itself into the mind of a listener willing to invest in the path laid out in this extremely subtle, beautiful and exceptional release. Recorded in win…
Double A
Russell Haswell strikes bone on this 2-track, 20-minute 12", marking his return to the catalytic Diagonal imprint. Double A renders Russell at his slyest and most honest, presenting spasmodic, un-edited improvisations belying influence from the pivotal epoch of diamond-cut '80s freestyle, industrial and Detroit techno. Depending on your perspective, they're either splintered, techy DJ tools or skeletal nO!se inversions. Either way, they bristle and spark with a compulsive nervous energy and…
Festival Of The Dead
2LP version housed in high gloss gatefold sleeve. Includes mp3/FLAC download. It is said that the gods of the dead demand you ritualistically commit to each intensely hot beat of the ceremonial drum. Now, here, is the music for their celebration of death, music to dance together with, to oblivion, a music both spectacular and ecstatic where, like never before, the spirits of Santería and Voudou mix with raw electricity into burning diabolical polyrhythms. Festival of the Dead is without do…

Indagine Su Un Cittadino Al Di Sopra Di Ogni Sospetto
Few copies, coming from a dead stock. The phenomenal Italian composer's obscure work for horror, kitsch, and thriller films from his native land is somewhat overlooked in the canon of the man who gave signature to spaghetti Westerns. Such an enormous amount of work in the life of this genius composer is chronicled in cinema and, thanks to Dagored, many of these obscurities are being reissued on vinyl and CD, remastered straight from the original Cinevox archives. His work for the 1970 Ital…

Peplum
A driving force in what some critics dubbed Italian Occult Psychedelia, Heroin In Tahiti from Rome inaugurate 2014 with two tracks of their unmistakable Spaghetti-Sound. On Side A Peplum is an apocalyptic take on some imaginary Morricone soundtrack, filled with twangy guitars, doomsday synths, and even a mellotron: listen to it, and you will see Lee Van Cleef's ominous face wandering in a fucked up roman borgata, year 2018. Side B Alo is more in the giallo-vein and sounds like a clash bet…

Over the course of the 1960s it exploded across Europe, America an…

Justmeat
Taint is known to be one of the most powerful and pervert act in the power electronics scene. A kind of juiced up, Taint squared a brutal stew of screaming high-end feedback, crushing distorted scrape and corrosive furious vocals that are overlaid with sheets of white noise.’’Justmeat’’, that was released on Slaughter Production (SPT 40) in 1995, showed Taint at his best. Fucking brutal!
The record has been pressed on 140 gr black vinyl with black label and black inner sleeve and comes …
