Murder Ballads (Incest Songs)
Incest Songs is the final chapter of the Murder Ballads trilogy, and its most fully realized expression. Where Drift and Passages explored the post-isolationist frame through voice and single instrument, this third volume dispenses with that approach entirely, opening instead onto a more labyrinthine sonic architecture - one built from overlapping, saturating, blurring voices, all of them Martyn Bates'. The decision feels both inevitable and quietly inspired. Bates' vocalizations unfold as layer…
UMA
Malasomma returns to Stochastic Resonance with his third full-length release, completing a conceptual journey that began with the remote isolation of Jura (2018) and the linguistic deconstruction of Neolingua (2024). While his previous records functioned as warnings inspired by George Orwell’s 1984, UMA is the sound of those prophecies coming to fruition. As we step into the blinding, digital glare of the present day, we no longer inhabit a hypothetical dystopia. We no longer need to imagine a B…
Awakened To Never Sleep Again (CDr)
2001 release ** TCOB continue to create some great, minimal and intriguing music. Stripped bare, with very little going on, this is nevertheless a mighty work. ERIC KESNER, the guy behind TCOB, goes to great lengths to let people know that this is purely a guitar album with just one sample appearing on the last track. You may not think this worth mentioning, but when you hear this music you'll realise why. Mutated beyond nearly anything else you'll ever hear on this instrument, it's impossible…
Music for Ancient Catacombs
*150 copies limited edition* Across centuries, catacombs have exerted a powerful fascination on the human imagination. These underground networks, carved beneath cities and landscapes, have served as places of burial, devotion, secrecy, and contemplation. Their presence continues to resonate strongly today, inspiring artists, writers, and musicians who perceive them as symbolic spaces where history, spirituality, and the passage of time converge. The silence of stone corridors, the weight of cen…
Breath Of Earth
2008 release ** Hypnoz is a project of Dmitry Zubov, a musician from Moscow suburb Fryazino, the town that endowed the lovers of post-industrial music with such names as Hum and Staruha Mha. His first composition was recorded in 1993, and during its existence Hypnoz has released one CD on the Moscow label Insofar Vapour Bulk, which gathered tracks from different periods, a couple of very limited CD-Rs, and participated on the compilation "Iznutri" by the Ewers Tonkunst label with a fragment of a…
Anamnesis+
Scorn is dead. Mick Harris has said it himself, repeatedly, over the years, but this time the sentence has the weight of finality. Anamnesis, expanded to a four LP set and issued by GOD Records as catalog GOD 80, is the last word. Few projects have travelled the distance Harris travelled. From the blast beats that helped invent grindcore in Napalm Death to the cavernous low end and pulverising patience of Scorn, his career describes one of the strangest arcs in British underground music. Formed …
Caswallon The Headhunter (LP)
First LP by experimental group from Boulder with the excellent electro-acoustic soundtrack to a play by Stan Brakhage's wife, released by Silent in 1986 with cover by the great experimental film-maker and never re-issued on either LP or CD.
Black Box (4CD box)
Beautiful wooden box released by Urashima in 2018 in an edition of numbered 199 copies re-issuing on 4 CD's nine albums spanning from 1993 to 1996 by Marco Corbelli's morbid electronic music project with "violent and cold analogue electronic sounds, and my own voice".
Dominium Terrae
*50 copies limited edition* A cry. Woodsmoke drifts across a field and into the forest, an acrid smell haunting it, and the sound of distant cheering, chilling those squatting wide-eyed among the underbrush. It could be anywhere in Europe in the 15th, 16th or 17th centuries - a woman being literally burned alive, outwardly for being at one with Nature, but more prosaically and to many in the know, for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The deafening, hateful voice of patriarchal re…
Hafalgar (10"EP)
1991 EP of minimal electronic ambient music by German post-industrial project akin to Cranioclast and released on CoC. With booklet.
Songs From The Massive Darkness (LP)
Rare first minimal industrial electronic LP released by Vinyl Attack in 1992 in an edition of 200 copies by industrial dark ambient band from Sweden.
Ypnos
*200 copies limited edition* “Ypnos”, the Greek word for sleep, is reinterpreted here as something far more introspective and unsettling. Within the context of this release, it evokes a state of emotional isolation and spiritual withdrawal, a descent shaped by trauma. Rather than presenting trauma in a literal or narrative form, Fractalyst translates it into a kind of aural poetry, abstract yet deeply resonant. The album avoids fixation or glorification of suffering. Instead, it unfolds as a gra…
0.16.6.19
*33 hand-numbered copies* We present a new recording by the enigmatic project Sagart Alhague.
By definition, folk music is traditional music that originates among the common people of a particular culture, which raises the question: who are those people, and what is their culture in this case? The answer is not obvious, but a few things are clear: their morals are peculiar, their customs are unsettling, and their history is filled with ineffable suffering and secrets.
Recorded in Paris, 2025, on…
Circles
Several years after the release of ‘Metamorphosis’ (with Sid Hille), Multicast Dynamics (Samuel van Dijk) reemerges on Astral Industries with ‘Circles’ - an enchanting two-part work venturing into deep unconscious realms. Sonic landscapes unfold in a sequence of hidden spaces and intimate revelations, featuring detailed sound design and rich thematic content.
Circle One initiates the process, opening gently with glassy drones and the patter of distant voices. A faint light shimmers through swir…
Spiritually Unemployed
Ak’chamel, The Givers of Illness plunged into truly deranged extremes to summon the decayed, otherworldly essence captured on Spiritually Unemployed, embracing unhinged and esoteric methods during the tracking process. Recorded in a makeshift adobe studio amid liminal border-zone ruins. Nocturnal treks along forgotten stretches near the U.S.-Mexico line, through derelict border outposts and sun-bleached vehicle husks, yielded unique recording opportunities: Ak’chamel dragged tape decks like sacr…
Vala, or the Four Zoas
On Vala, Or The Four Zoas, Capricorni Pneumatici push their FM-synthesis ritualism to a more dreamlike, narrative plane, fusing DX7 and CX5 timbres, cave-born concrète, and ascetic tape manipulations into one of their most enigmatic, Blake-shadowed works.
Omen Of The End
This autumn brings Omen of the End, where Regen Graves (Italian metal musician, mostly known for his work in Abysmal Grief) and Koldvoid unite to forge the darkest ambient split album possible. From the abyss, Regen Graves weaves hallucinatory synth incantations in the lineage of the vintage era of dark ambient, while Koldvoid's cinematic dread drifts like a phantom through haunted valleys of dream and decay.
Their communion becomes Omen of the End, a split album that opens a rift where time dis…
Dies Irae
**Limited Edition of 60 numbered copies ** Paul Chain’s 1994 experimental album. "There are sections of familiar guitarplay included as well as the standard hammond organ, but still all metal/rock fans should be warned that this is mostly an electronica/industrial release. The mood of the album varies between lamentation and insane anxiety. In particular, ‘Prescence Of The Soul’s Forest’ is utterly disturbed and the vocals of Sandra Silver is what makes the most impact. There are no lyrics at al…
XKatedral Anthology Series III
Tip Tip Tip! XKatedral Anthology Series III is the third installment in the label’s ongoing archival series, and it arrives as both a celebration and a statement of intent. Marking ten years of XKatedral, this double‑vinyl set gathers works composed between 2014 and 2025 by artists who treat harmony and timbre as slow‑moving terrains rather than backdrops. Synthetic and acoustic sources, algorithmic procedures and close‑mic’d performance all serve a common aim: precise, patient work in the realm…

Tip Tip Tip! ** 2026 Repress ** XKatedral Anthology II is the second instalment in a series of archival releases dedicated to presenting music by composers affiliated with XKatedral working within the realm of slowly evolving harmonic and timbral music. This double-vinyl set contains an array of pieces dating from 2018 to 2020. This collection of pieces focuses on the use of synthetic sound and algorithmic composition languages as tools for precise work within the realm of spectral exploration.…
