Paréidolie
*Limited Edition of 300 copies.* Three years after Pergélisol/Chorémanie, their first diptych album crossing post-punk radicalism and minimalist ambition, the quartet named after Maria Spelterini (an Italian tightrope walker who crossed the Niagara Falls on a wire several times in 1876) released a second record that transcends this delicate aesthetic balance and navigates well beyond/below rock and electronics. When Pierre-Antoine Parois, Arthur de La Grandière (members of Papier Tigre), Meriade…
All That We See or Seem
*Limited edition of 300 copies.* “Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?” This quote from a poem by Edgar Allan Poe sums up the lamenting, primal work that is "All That We See or Seem"; a project conceived between Finland, England and Brazil. The self-titled album consists of two long-form pieces of droning mysticism hailing from the trio of Gruth (concept, production, electronics), Ellen Southern (vocals, field recordings, percussion) and Johanna Puuperä (violin, modular synthes…
Konec
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Longtime friends and frequent collaborators Luke Entelis (Viul) and Thomas Meluch (Benoît Pioulard) combine their enchanting textures reflecting on a time spent in lockdown, for A Strangely Isolated Place.
"Konec" is Czech for "end," and a nod to the uncertainty of Luke and Thomas’ home city of New York amidst the pandemic. Birthed from Luke’s short synth sketches, the two friends further collaborated in isolation to create a series of str…
Hallucinating Loss
In Hallucinating Loss, composer William Fowler Collins presents one hell of a cinematic record. Through a sweeping grandeur and telescoped gestures, he offers a poignant and powerful meditation on grief, loss, and sorrow. Completed before the 2020 pandemic besieged the US, this is an album that presages the conditions of anguish that many have felt throughout this very difficult season.
For this album, Collins furthers the connectivity between film and sound by recruiting his friends and colleag…
Nihil
*2022 stock.* Lunus at his beAst monochrome stark harsh beat & anti-drone musick. For those who do not have memory Lunus is the solo project of Devis "deviLs" Granziera of Teatro Satanico. And indeed here, among these gloomy tracks, you may find the bitter essence of older Teatro Satanico recordings. Industrial noise reverberations and echoes emerging before dissolving once again to leave tense heavy beat. And then strands of bursts of unbridled synthetic mangling. And subsequently wisps of mela…
Language Of Flames And Sound
*2022 stock. CD in a shaped folder. Limited edition of 544 hand-numbered copies.* Finally we are going for the re-edition of this great Maëror Tri album. Power for the right side of the brain! Our world is dominated by the left brain hemisphere. M.T. is here supporting the theory that it is necessary to stimulate and challenge the right hemisphere in order to get back to an equal activity of the two brain sides. Best Shamanic Meditation music of the industrial era! Maybe the best and more intens…
Timewaves
*2022 stock. Limited of 300 copies.* Timewaves presents moments of history in a flow of eternity. Each moment may or may not be clearly connected with each other. But when examining the past, does not every moment intertwine with some other moments, and suddenly everything is connected with everything in strange and unclear ways.
In Timewaves it is clear that those moments presented on the album are bound to civilisation. Is it our civilisation, or someone elses, or just a dream? We don't know. …
Music For Film And Exhibition II
*2022 stock.* Like baking a sweet cake or cooking an indian dish you need good ingredients and spices to get the right mouthfeel and the splendid flavor of your desire. 'Music for Film and Exhibition II' is just like that: a levelled declitre of Raison D'être, a brimful tablespoon of Atomine Elektrine, a couple of teaspoons of Necrophorus and a little bit of this and little bit of that, mixed into a perfect blend of many tastes. Peter Andersson, well-known from projects like Raison d'être, Strat…
Madeira
*2022 stock* Old Europa Cafe present Madeira, a collaboration between two great swedish CMI area projects Negru Voda (Megaptera's side project) and Moljebka Pulse. Two long dark industrial tracks in best cold northern tradition.
The Forgotten Tapes
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 282 copies.* After searching for an old Folkstorm recording in his vaults, Nordvargr discovered more unreleased material than he was looking for: old recordings from 1997 and 1998, all previously unreleased !Now, after more than 10 years, these old recordings see the the light (?) of day. This is all harsh gritty oldschool Folkstorm (the one we like the more !), served up fresh and carefully remastered from the original analogue tapes. Also included are the four t…
Nihil Total
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* Long awaited, finally Folkstorm returns with a new full length assault in the classic orthodox Swedish industrial style - no computers or modern tricks, just old analogue junk and a pissed off giant to orchestrate the mayhem. All the elements you expect to find are there - harsh noise, fierce vocals, pounding drums and bad attitude. A great comeback after eight years of silence that makes no excuses.
Devoted to the memory of Marco Corbelli, to us this…
Information Blitzkrieg
*2022 stock.* Folkstorm is the uncompromising power-electronics solo project by Mr. Nordvargr Kremator, leading mind of MZ.412. The sounds on this Folkstorm debut album are quiet different and not related to MZ.412, this is heaviest power-electronics and old school industrial ranging from real beating tracks to more noisy ones with loads of sampled voices. A masterpiece of real "Industrial Muzak".
Hurtmusic
*2022 stock.* Second release on OEC by this great side project of MZ.412 leader Mr. Nordvargr! This time playing helped by Mrs. Nordvargr.
This album was recorded live at Nar Mattaru on March 11 2000 in front of a selected audience. Simply a bombastic live attack, this is the renascence of uncompromising power-industrial, this is MUZAK for "no prisoners" war status !
Folksongs
*2022 stock.* Folkstorm returns to follow up the successful 2009 album "Ortodox" with another crushing assault on your senses. This time Nordvargr pushes the sound even further and adds a more classic songstructure and vocals to the album - hence the title. While still maintaining a harsh old-school industrial vibe, these recordings takes Folkstorm to a whole new level. Welcome to explore the wrath of a man gone seriously pissed off with everyone and everything. Don't loose the chance to taste t…
Folkmusik
*2022 stock.* Like a restless zombie that refuses to stay dead Folkstorm once again has risen from the grave to wage war on the world. Mr Nordvargr has been active as usual the last years, but he has focused more on producing darkambient and electronic music, but that is now changing. Our guess is that he just cant sleep at night if he doesnt let off some steam every once in a whileThe new album Folkmusik is very much a classic Folkstorm album with it´s roots firmly placed in the old-school indu…
Dödsabnorm
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* Only a year after the "Nihil Total" album Folkstorm returns stronger than ever with an album of suffocating and death-infused ortodox industrial. Recorded using only 70´s circuitry and lots of metallic percussion Nordvargr has created a dense atmosphere that is dark and threatening as well as hypnotic. A clear statement of what 2020, and possibly the future, will hold for us all; decay, darkness and suffering.
The Outside
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Fourth chapter of a series that began with 2007’s “Whispers Of The Approaching Wastefulness” (Cyclic Law). A Conceptual soundtrack envisioning the evolution of a fictional story and of which will soon come a VR experience.

Pariah Demise has been re-mastered with additional extra material from the Germinal Chamber tape out in the same time on OEC and now deleted, plus one previously unreleased bonus track from 1996. Discover this nice killer plate of pulsing and beating, cold and doom power industrial electronics served in a complete new…
Pain Implantations
*2022 stock.* Formed by aggression and pain the aptly titled CD 'Pain Implantation' is probably a good description of the music, given the focus of the approach. Sparse and suffocating atmospheres float forth while distorted sicken tones are injected. The opening track lulls the listener into a false sense of relaxation before the distorted frequencies leap out to reek havoc on the listeners cerebral area. The music throughout the disc pounds on your skull without mercy and then slows down befor…
