The Less You Know, The Better
*2022 stock* ...Zero point. Death. Ultimate stop. Internal. External.. the transgression of things to be and never be again. Secrets weave milky webs, textures kill the progress of disaster & yet the fevered bleakness endures. There are no highlights here, only the darkness. That of the far graces of space released. You, the lost vacant listener cross paths with three of the scariest people alive. The less you know the better...
Great collaboration by the famous Swedish duo "Nordvargr / Drakh" (…
The Dromopoda Transmissions
*2022 stock* The Dromopoda Transmissions must be considered one of the most complex and strange recordings in Sweden´s most prolific experimental artist Henrik Nordvargr Björkk´s career. The recordings are made up of field recordings (amplified sounds from insects and nature), radio transmissions and improvised electronic soundscapes that all come together to create a suffocating wall of sounds you have never heard before. Cold and desolate sonic landscapes that lets your imagination paint pictu…
The Dead Never Sleep
*2022 stock* The undisputed master of nordic darkness & leading mind of MZ.412 returns once again from his cellar with a new offering for OEC. Following the success of the more experimental CD "On broken wings towards victory", "The dead never sleep" is a massive journey of classic Scandinavian darkambient, but with added outbursts of more violent layers and haunting electronics. Without comparison, this is the only fix of darkambient you need this year to satisfy your needs. Take heed as the de…
On Broken Wings Towards Victory
*2022 stock* Following in the steps of "Awaken", this CD explores the dark cellars of Bohult even deeper... This time new elements are thrown into the trademark darkness - using knifes, water and some broken electronics this CD is sure to deliver a new perspective on the way we see and hear our nordic wolf. Best dark and deep sounds from underworld by MZ.412 mastermind !
Evolution
*2022 stock* 2 Nordvargr albums at the price of one! Showing two faces of Nordvargr complex sounds : Disc one of Evolution is firmly rooted in classic Nordvargr territories - darkambient but with a slight MZ. 412 touch, as it has some more bombastic and noisy elements to it than what we are used to hear from him. Disc two is divided in two parts - first 8 tracks from the Avart sessions ("Music for movement"). Part two is four tracks which are more "elektronika"-styled tracks, and shows another s…
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.
Eidolon. A Tribute To Reutoff
*2022 stock.* Reutoff tribute compilation! For those (few) who don't know Reutoff : they are one of the more prominent and intriguing Russian post-pndustrial ambient projects. The album, celebrating the bands 16th anniversary, consists of remixes and cover versions on original Reutoff tracks, made by bands / projects / friends, whose music has always been close to the band. Most of the contributors created their tracks using original Reutoff material, some of them were just inspired by Reutoff's…
Der Schatten Der Fliege
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 100 hand- numbered copies.* Y-Incision is a Vintras side project (mastermind of Djinn). The album was recorded back in 2006/7 and was foreseen to be released on Slaughter Productions but because of Marco premature death it was never pubblished. With this project, Vintras doesn't talk about his personal thoughts but describes the dirty, violent and raw side of the human being. These feelings become disturbing hypnotic noise/industrial frequencies, with a touch of …
Yours Is A Kingdom Of Death
*2022 stock.* This is unification! Two sides from split LPs — with Body Cargo, and Deathstench respectively — joined into the whole they were always ment to be. "Yours Is A Kingdom of Death" is an exercise in sombre slow-moving death chants, ritualistic in appearance and in intent. A renunciation of the created world; a glorification of the New Man; he who is beyond life and death, existing as pure flame alit in eternal void.

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…

Dark and painful sounds with few filtered voices coming from a col…
Fixation
*2022 stock.* Full length album for this great Sweden power industrial duo & Raison D'Etre side project, 3rd S/T album produced on OEC! Fixation is in our mind, and the world may be a cruel place just as reflected in "Fixation". This album mainly contains unreleased material recorded in 1998-1999, in the vein of the earlier CD album "Genetic Implosion" but way more harsh and brutal, there are also two completely new tracks recorded in 2004 showing a change in direction by combining doom metal an…
Acid Realm

Continuing in the same psychedelic/electroacoustic/industrial direction as the former albums Brain and Tantric Noise, we dive even deeper into The Acid Realm. Layers of acoustic and electronic instruments combined with scraping metal, flutes and distant guitar distortions take you deep into a melting, boiling br…
Aged Fractures And Dead Ends
*2022 stock.* Is it really dead? : yes, this release marks the end of Stratvm Terror. But what an end! Massive sounds of drowning liquids, mechanized background noises, brain mangler soundscapes and harsh abrasive amplifications. Playing this loud will probably make you deaf, but what else is there to listen to after experiencing this. 'Aged Fractures and Dead Ends' is a vast collection of various archive material produced by the Stratvm Terror constellation Peter Andersson (Raison d'être) and T…

Rings
*2022 stock.* Candor Chasma is the new electronic Italian duo of Corrado Altieri (Monosonik, Uncodified) and Simon Balestrazzi (T.A.C., Dream Weapon Ritual). The band name comes from outer space (Candor Chasma is one of the largest canyons in the Valles Marineris canyon system on Mars) and their debut album is a 5-part hallucinogenic voyage inside analogue whirls, multilayered textures made of tapes and white noise, psychedelic frequencies and cerebral ambient-noise.
