The bodies are mostly murdered women, in one section the images have been superimposed with effects... or colored washes applied. The sound track mechanical/industrial noises.

Amlux
** Limited edition of 100 tapes, 50 on blue colored version (this one) and 50 on original colored version cover. ** Certainly Amlux is a very cohesive and well-constructed piece; starting more softly than usual, the record slowly builds into the chaotic harsh sound that Merzbow is well known for, but this time adding some actual recognizable music elements (like rhythms), and constructing various surprisingly well-texture soundscapes, that made of this album a more focused and immersive piece th…

Hiking The Trails Of Mount Muzak
No time to waste: nine months after Tim Vanhamel released 'Dubs Pour Oh La La', his debut album under the moniker Comité Hypnotisé, the Millionaire frontman presents already the second album 'Hiking The Trails Of Mount Muzak'. Hardly leaving any traces of the dubbed out vibe which marked the first record, Tim expands his Comité Hypnotisé universe to a surprising next level on this second album: exploring a place where James Last, Wu-Tang Clan and Dj Shadow are cooking up a Thai meal in a Peruvia…
Stonewalling
“Stonewalling” offers a collection of electroacoustic pieces taking as input the Mexican vernacular music from the golden age of Mexican cinema of the first part of the 20th century. In those films, music was used as communication due their poor verbal communication-skills. This is an album about communication, about the impossibility to do so to resolve conflicts. In the technical side, some of the sources used as layering in the tracks come from radio frequencies taken from explorations into t…
hi leaves
“hi leaves” is the new full-length record from soft tissue, the duo of Glasgow-based artists Feronia Wennborg and Simon Weins. Following their self-titled debut for Penultimate Press in 2019, this collection examines microsound by way of extended amplification technique, bone conduction, domestic recordings, and digital feedback. Tracks like “plant pot” and “kettle” appear to disclose their source material, presenting wonderfully tactile environments of highly articulate sound. Wennborg and Wein…
A Part Of America Therein, 1981
In the summer of 1981, The Fall embarked on their second American tour, criss-crossing the States over a two-month period. Featuring the dual guitar of Marc Riley and Craig Scanlon and rhythm section of Stephen Hanley and Karl Burns, A Part Of America Therein, 1981 would document this fabled journey with crucial performances that show the band evolve from noisemaking lout cultists into true post-punk legends."From the riot-torn streets of Manchester, England to the scenic sewers of Chicago ..." …
Barene
"August 2019; Piacenza. The warm padano, sticky, inexorable, which marks the hours from dawn to evening and the flu in the night. Almost by mistake, in the automatic gestures of false computerized researches, after having registered the mail, read messages and fulfilled the electronic deontology, I come across Barene. I knew nothing about them. I look at photos, videos and read articles. Suddenly present. They attract me. I imagine. And immediately I put in memories, paradoxically distant in tim…
Twilight - The Opening
Geruch Von Blut is the project that was born here and now. Geruch Von Blut calls to mind a scent referring to iron and metal. For predatory carnivores it is irresistible, triggering their instinct; without knowing what you want, not listening to what you think you are listening to, always, that's what not to lose sight of, in the ardor of the drafting the sounds trigger in a continuous.“When Geruch submitted his musical world to me, I thought of an immense ocean similar to an impassable wall. Th…
Jenseit Der Anerkennung
Following many previous encounters of various nature (collaborations, split releases, sharing live line-ups, etc.), Joel Gilardini (The Land of Snow, Mulo Muto, Psychic Drones) and Paolo Bandera (Sigillum S, SSHE Retina Stimulants, Iugula-Thor, Ensemble Sacrés Garçons and much more) get back together for a very different new project “Jenseits Der Anerkennung”, released under their own names. An isolationist exercise in sonic psycho-geography, the album takes a series of Berlin-inspired images as…
Droneworks I-V
"Droneworks I-V" is a collection of five long beatless soundscapes, composed with the purpose of inducing hypnotic and meditative states. Healing music, aiming to calm the mind from the background noise of our chaotic reality. Orghanon is the solo venture of Sergio Calzoni, producer and musician active since the '90s in various musical outfits (Alma Mater, Act Noir, Colloquio, Iluiteq). With Orghanon Sergio Calzoni blends melancholy with silence, depicting stark yet deeply emotional soundtracks …
Confessions of a Satan's Priestess
A murderer wanders the shabby streets of the city, between gloomy concrete buildings, under the pale autumn sky... in the background a delusional legend about a witch burned at the stake, strange sadistic rites and the consume of bad drugs. Here is the soundtrack of a mysterious slasher film never shot. A story of satanism, sex and suspence, set in a gray and anonymous city of the former Soviet Union. The music is reminiscent of the Italian horror-thrillers of the 70s-80s (Dario Argento, Lucio F…
Autopsia Edström
Between the '60s and the '80s the production of pulp magazines in Italy was flourishing and incredibly varied: every month hundreds of paperbacks containing strange, adventurous or more often terrifying stories came out on the newsstands. Among the most popular italian pulp magazines was the horror series "I Racconti di Dracula" (Tales of Dracula) published by Baron Cantarella: each issue of "I Racconti di Dracula" contained a grim and disturbing story, inspired by Italian gothic and giallo cine…
The Tower of Doom
HDK proudly announce this incredible album by a well-known artist from the Dungeon Synth scene. Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the new FVRFVR (aka Lord Cervos) album!
Germinal
*110 copies limited edition* The debut LP by Outliers, "Germinal," offers a kaleidoscopic blend of lo-fi sensibility and hi-fi substance. The duo delivers on its namesake by deviating from musical norms. Using atypical rhythms, atonal sounds, and shifting forms, their music creates an inviting familiarity. Outliers' music can call a number of genres home: electronic, ambient, psychedelia, minimalism. No matter what you label it, "Germinal" will soothe your psyche with its shimmering inner light …
Gona Rubian Ranesa
*Edition of 218. Tip!* Reynols is a storied band with endless lore. Many history lessons have been written about them, still they remain one of the world's most mysterious and challenging groups. "Gona Rubian Ranesa" is Reynols' first studio album in 17 years and it updates their classic sound to new realms of hypnotic psych-rock immersion. This record was cut by the classic Argentinian quartet of Miguel Tomasin, Anla Courtis, Rob Conlazo and Pacu Conlazo and it stands as 100% proof that Reynols…
Wapassou
"With their first album, legendary French art-rock band Wapassou found a distinctive musical voice: well-developed melodies, rhythmic organ, prominent droning violin, and guitar doubling-up as a rhythm instrument. They often conjure up what it might have sounded like had John Cale and Stereolab formed a band in 1974, the year this album was released. The five tracks are highly original, varied and inventive, steeped in post-psychedelic rock. Although Wapassou are noted for playing without …
Astragaloi
This trio didn’t know how lucky they had it. They were certainly happy to perform again when this concert was recorded at the ArtActs Festival in St Johan Austria in early March 2020. Although their first outing was back in 2013 in Harnik’s hometown of Graz - a live concert broadcast through the Austrian National Radio/ORF, the band has had a sporadic performance history. So the opportunity to reunite for this festival performance was already special. Little did they know what lay ahead though, …
