Haunted, Non/Haunted
The Doberman crew has been relentlessly touring the U.S. for years now, existing as a traveling band of frequent collaborators and changing lineups, consisting of often radically different artists across many different states, that has resulted in a sonic path and sound unique all to their own. After dozens of recordings on Easy Listening (Green), Mastermind (Denmark), I Dischi Del Barone (Sweden), No Rent Records, and countless self released CD-Rs and tapes, this LP marks a dark and twisted tu…
Everything Starts
Since the early 90's, the Belgian duo Silk Saw has pioneered nearly unclassifiable electronic music at the forefront of experimental and avant-garde.
Their 12th album is a contiguous expansion of the universe created in 'Imaginary Landscapes', the previous album published on Kotä in 2015, blending sweet and bitter in languorous and enigmatic melodies that float on intriguing polyrhythms. With the release of 'Nothing is Finished' on Sub Rosa, Marc Medea and Gabriel Séverin are back home, since th…

When Only Shades Remain
Andrea Marutti (Amon and Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) have teamed up again for this new Hall of Mirrors monumental release. Textural, noisy, profound dark ambient with some pretty 'melodic' patterns hidden behind layered noises and evolving drones. Astonishing, to say the least.
Altered Nights
Third CD from the acclaimed collaboration between Andrea Marutti (Amon, Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh). Spread out over two CDs and totaling over 100 minutes, there's a lot to absorb here; organic, textural ambience that's murky and abstract, uncurling like tendrils of smoke before coalescing into a simulacrum of shadowy figures, to turbulent, more immersive post industrial sounds that prowl the depths of subterranean caverns and forgotten, still radioactive ruins. Fea…
Forgotten Realm
Second chapter in the Hall of Mirrors saga, a project that hides the fervid minds of Giuseppe Verticchio/Nimh and Andrea Marutti/Amon. Another long and fascinating journey among the ruins of lost and ancient civilizations, among desolate landscapes forgotten by time.
Reflections on Black
Hall of Mirrors is a new musical project formed by Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) and Andrea Marutti (Amon). The music is in the similar vein to the respective works of these two Italian artists. Consequently it provides a handful of dense, droney, shimmering electronic sequences that dissipate into distortion and black noises.
Amplified Discovery
Two intense tracks from New York based noise artist, sonic multitasks master and festival organiser (the famous Ende Tymes every year in NYC, as well as working for years at Issue Project Room). Bob Bellerue creates living visceral sonic organisms with feedback and amplification in specific resonant spaces, using electronics, voices or even Supercollider, resulting in massive wild evolving and mutating drones into outbursts of noise deflagrations - a tension between hellish tellurism and multidi…
Re-Pulsión
Re-Pulsion includes four outstanding versions/mixes of tracks from Esplendor Geométrico's Pulsión (2009), made by four unique talents from the international electronic scene. ATOM TM makes an irresistible rhythmic version of "Metallum," Frank Bretschneider re-forges "Japo" in his typical style, Most Significant Beat make a hypnotic version of "Aplicación Insospechada," and Andreas Tilliander offers another version of "Japo" that is pure, harsh industrial music. Limited numbered copies of 500 wit…
Simulacra
"First released in 1989 as a tape on the legendary German label Cthulhu Records and re-released in 1998 by OEC as limited vinyl, this legendary album by Ain Soph and Sigillum S finally sees the light for the first time on CD format. An absolute masterpiece of Ritual Music by those two primer Italian post-industrial acts."

"This stuff was previously produced by the band only as tape in a very limited edition of just 100 copies and never reissued... until now! This legendary tape is finally re-released as a 2CD set. First disc features Ritual 00, which is an endless trancy loop used for a Bhakti Yoga rite which can be used also as background for ritual concentration... The second disc is entitled The failure of Jesus, Visible Obscurity, Garbage, the City and the Death... For sure the more obscure and rare Ain Soph …

"CD repress of the original Ain Soph debut album! A must for all researchers and collectors of early exoteric dark industrial…""Ain Soph are a legendary group - or rather an entity - that over the years has managed to win a small but select following, reaching a true cult status. Formed in the early '80s in Rome, they started their activity by publishing a series of tapes not intended for publication but intended as real "magic" rituals. These were sound experiments inspired by magic texts, in p…

Chaosphere
**2020 stock** "Finally available for the very first time, exactly 15 years after its completion, here it is T.A.C.'s lost album Chaosphere. Recorded between November 1997 and February 1998 in New York City, Chaosphere was planned to be the sequel of Apotropaismo (also out on OEC) disclosing, in typical T.A.C. style, the "other side" of that album: gone were the lush and variated instrument array leaving room to a grey and menacing cloud of analogue electronics and sparse ambient samples. For th…

Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations
**2020 stock** "Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations takes the listener deep below the world of the ordinary into the catacombs of the subconscious, the worlds lying within us so few ever live to explore. This is music meant to stimulate the mind, to inspire one in their explorations of self and solitude. Layers of ethereal atmospheres and the collage of choirs, strings, bells and occasional voices slowly bleed together to create music for society whose spirituality has been rendered imp…
Requiem for Abandoned Souls - Expanded Edition
**2020 stock** "First escorted and abandoned by dark spirits, you wander alone through pitch-blackness, following sounds you'd rather run from then to. But there is no other place to go but down, deeper and further. So turn off your lights and put out your candle when you listen to this powerful release. The title says it all, Requiem for Abandoned Souls is filled with such extreme talent and understanding in the ways of the desolate decay that eats away at the very structure of mankind, that th…
Tales from the Tabula Rasa - Early Works 1988-1991
**2020 stock** "This is not a new album! This does not sound like Raison d'être! This is Raison d'être from another time and world! Tales from the Tabula Rasa presents Raison d'être in its earliest form, when there was no past and only future. This was the birth of Raison d'être and the creative music mind of Peter Andersson. In one way it can be seen as the first particles to the seed that later became the established Raison d'être sound in the 1990's. In the other way it can be seen as the evi…
