The Great Filter
Eighth Tower Records unveils Nihil Impvlse’s The Great Filter, the third release by the industrial project on the label. A dark post-industrial exploration of humanity’s collision course with its own tools, the album reframes the titular cosmic theory as a metaphor for our self-engineered existential sieve where accelerationism’s fervent dogma and apocalyptic fatalism fuse into a nihilistic liturgy. Through seven corrosive movements, Nihil Impvlse conjures the dissonance of a species intoxicated…
A Checking of Progress
With A Checking of Progress, JM Iversen maps transformation across thirteen concise landscapes, calibrating detail and drift in equal measure. The album veers between introspective minimalism and sudden flux, yielding studies in tension that invite immersion as much as contemplation.
5980 - Patto Generazionale
* 2025 Stock *Time is a trickster on 5980 - Patto Generazionale, the latest offering from Sokushinbutsu Project. Massimo ODRZ Mascheroni and Enrico Ponzoni transmute the shimmer of late-’70s and early-’80s dance-floor forms into a suite of revisions, exquisite in their brevity and sly in their intent. Subtly retooling classic tunes like “Oh! Carol” and “Passion Flower,” the pair do not simply trade in retromania; they stage a negotiation with memory itself, unspooling Italo-gloss nostalgia as it…

Moon's Milk (In Final Phase)
Electric Sewer Age was conceived in 2006, a glowing spark in the imagination of John Deek of Divine Frequency. A brief, cryptic announcement in 2009, followed by a few rough tracks released online, heralded its birth.

Kill A Phantom
Rent ist the pseudonym of artist and ecologist Katrin Euller. Rent’s sounds refer to industrial ecosystems, interconnections, dark landscapes and their stories and the stories of those who inhabit these places. At the same time, it is the processes of sound creation itself that emerge in Rent's compositions: sounds influence each other, reinforce each other, cancel each other out, dissolve and become noise, sound like the city, a car alarm for example. Then everything gets lost in the fog again.…
