Daikan
'The Earth is burning, covering all environments in ashes. Smoke comes to us from computers-from social networks accelerating the spread of burnt affects, damaging our ability to feel and respond to what the planet strives to express. We need to cool down. Thomas Köner's music can help change the pace of our perceptions: 1) In Daikan (2002) - a Japanese term meaning "the coldest" or "the coldest part of the year"-the ear stretches until touching the depth of time that persists in the ice; a soni…

Equilibrium
Glacial Movements brings bvdub and Netherworld together for their first official collaboration... but more importantly, a testament to a friendship that has endured and grown for well over a decade - and the pinnacle of the GM catalogue to date. Quite simply, the "equilibrium" of a glacier is the point at which its mass of snow and ice that comprises its mass is forever in balance - neither advancing nor receding... the frozen and slightly less-so forever in balance. Cold depths below freeze all…

Vanishing Lands
*200 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Immerse yourself in the great north, lost in the darkness of winter nights. There is a green glow that slowly dances above you, it is that of the Northern Lights, which lights the way. Around you, ice-covered volcanoes and endless white and silent expanses. Slowly all of this is fading, day after day, and unfortunately it is irreversible. "Vanishing Lands" is a cry of desperation, it is the realization that we are one step away from the abyss.…

Dracula (Music Inspired By The Bram Stoker's Novel)
*200 copies limited edition* Eighth Tower is here to celebrate Dracula on the book’s 125th Birthday. Two books, since first publication, have never been out of print. One is the Bible and the other is Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Dracula is the embodiment of Satan for the Victorian age. The character is sinister. He is cunning. He is repulsive, sickening in fact.

Nyarlathotep - A Tribute To Howard Phillips Lovecraft
'Nyarlathotep was an earthbound deity in the mythos of writer H. P. Lovecraft. Unlike the other gods in these stories, Nyarlathotep appears in humanoid form and can speak human languages. This being, as an abstract concept, provides a fitting name for an album that brings largely forgotten and mysterious music to human ears. Indeed, this album is a newly remastered reissue that was originally released in 1997 by the KADATH label, and gathers eight offerings of experimental underground music of t…

A string of cassette releases via his Post Mortem Rekordings label established the name within the underground noise scene of …
Les Spectres du Crépuscule
A dusty tape full of creaks, hisses and squeaks swooped down at HDK headquarters a while ago. Its author, one who calls himself "the Prince of Darkness" (sic), remains a mystery. On the tape minimal sounds, limping scores, silences full of anguished expectation, short instrumental excerpts that have the flavor of foggy and humid winter evenings, of the soil of ancient cemeteries, of loneliness, of putrefaction and decay.HDK has delighted and entertained you with orchestral soundtracks, accompani…
Байконур
In 1955, the Soviet Union completed the first spacecraft launch site in history: the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Still active today, the cosmodrome is located in Kazakhstan, about thirty kilometers from the city with the same name (until 1995 called Leninsk). The cosmodrome was the scene of grandiose events in Soviet history, such as the launch of the first sputnik (1957), but also of dramatic events such as the Nedelin catastrophe (1960), in which 78 people died due to an explosion.Baikonur was the co…
Dödsabnorm
*2022 stock* 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.

The album takes different paths, showcasing the artist’s various approac…
