*2022 stock.* Re-issue of the legendary tape out on OEC and long time deleted. Two new additional tracks was aded. This is for sure one of the more intriguing collaborations ever in the industrial scene. The Japanese & the Italian monsters of sound manipulation are delivering 4 great tracks full of tension, liquid movements, deep iperspace voices, rumbling noices from an hell factory, bubbling magma. A masterpiece of real industrial-ambient muzak. Cover in best 50’es science-fiction tradition, i…

*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…

*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".

*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 !

*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" (…

*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…

*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.

*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…

*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 …

*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…

*2022 stock.* Long time sold out and very requested album, finally here comes the re-print. The powerful side project by Peter Andersson aka "Raison D’Etre".7 studio tracks & for the first time on digital format 3 live tracks recorded in 1998 during the Nursery Injection Festival in Stockholm. The sound is getting more harsh & powerful than on the two previous cd releases. 56 minutes of great and uncompromising power-electronics. Dark and painful sounds with few filtered voices coming from a col…

*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…

*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* Haare is the solo project of Ilkka Vekka, sometimes accompanied by Janne Martinkauppi. Very dense psychedelic-industrial sounds from Finland! 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…

*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…

*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* 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.

*2022 stock.* OEC was since ever the home for the more harsh & batteling Peter Andersson aka Raison D'etre side projects. OEC was releaseing the debut Stratvm Terrror CD & 2 other very acclaimed ST followers ...Now we like to go with this new disc by Peter which will be the very last one for his other "harsh" project : "Panzar".World War II has ended and so will Panzar ....Including a unique live performance from the hot summer desert war 2005 and a number of early prototypes never released befo…

*2022 stock.* Two years after "Rings", Corrado Altieri and Simon Balestrazzi are back on Old Europa Cafe with a new release that draws its inspiration from the life and work of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the 19th centuty Russian occultist, whose research and publications are still today a reference for many modern esoteric disciplines. "The Key" is a psychic voyage in eight parts, each one referencing dates, places or events which have been pivotal in Mme Blavatsky life and spiritual journey. Ca…

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. With the duo rewrites and revises old scho…

*Limited edition of 200 copies.* Mammoth stone walls stretching high into the unknown, dank cellars stewn with bones and ashes. A chill in the lonely night wind disturbed by the utterance of arcane phrases. This is music guaranteed to at least bring about thoughts of mysticism, if it doesn't produce mystical states outright. This defines the term hauntingly beautiful.In Sadness, Silence and Solitude’, first released in 1997 by Cold Meat Industry, is the fourth fullength album of Raison d'être an…

*Limited edition of 200 copies.* "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…

In addition to many other musical stations, bustling Schnitzler was a member of the kraut-electronic formations Tangerine Dream and Kluster. Numerous solo releases complete his extensive oeuvre. One of them is Con 84, probably his most c…

Call it favouritism or prejudice or whatever, but groups who claim to be influenced by This Heat are considered a bit of a front for yours truly...and look how predictable we are: Cape Fear belongs in this list. Cape Fear is the brainchild of Laurent Perrier who once played with the band Nox and belongs to one of the better known indus acts from France.In 1997, however, Laurent called it a day and started his solo project of which "Drift towards the heat" was the first egg. Apparently, Laurent w…

The material was recorded between 2018- 2019. Cinética gives a twist to the line that the g…

Pessimist links with longtime associate Karim Maas for twelve untitled, interconnected tracks of paranoid, dub-fissured hip-hop and voidal techno pressure. Forget dnb... This is a downer than downtempo excursion, deep and dread, heavy as a jeep parked on your chest, with low-slung, blunted breakbeats and weapons-grade sub-bass caught up in whirlpools of dissolve and decay and baleful, insinuating drone... Yeah at times it feels less like a record and more like a bona fide airborne toxic event. I…

Founded in Creil, in the Oise département north of Paris, in 1981 by Thierry Damerval on bass and keyboards, Christophe Demarthe on vocals, and Nicolas Demarthe on guitar, Clair Obscur are widely credited with coining the term cold wave, which makes it all the more striking that they vehemently refused to be categorised as gothic or wave, insisting on their own radical unclassifiability from the beginning. Their early shows mixed music with performance art; one notorious concert was staged as a …

Storms of cosmic energy, boiling and gurgling electronic fluxes, sonic masses made of monolithic and impenetrable drones, visions of smoky afterdeath landscapes, scorching and infernal… A neverending tunnel with no way out, a sense of deep anguish, of desolation and resigned impotence that lead the dark journey from the beginning to the end of this hallucinatory path. The sound quality and the sharpness of details are absolutely insuperable, they will offer you a “wrapping” and emotionall…

Mureedil by Tonton Macoute is a lost classic of French experimental rock, blending hypnotic rhythms, spoken word, and avant-garde textures in the lineage of Heldon, Art Zoyd, and Lard Free.

LP album, glossy cover, numbered and pressed on red vinyl. "Realites Servomecaniques" is an improved version faithful to the original recordings with visuals specially reworked, answering to a categorical assertion, theoricaly and practicaly on Vivenza's bruitist point of view, who presents sounds, « noises », under their rawest and genuine aspect: sounds are machines / machines are sounds. Thus Vivenza captured the essence of factories with a strong sense of austerity, radicality, verticality, …
