I Shall Die Here / Earth Triumphant
Black Vinyl. On I Shall Die Here, The Body sonically serrates the remains of metal's already unidentifiable corpse and splays it amid tormented voices in shadow. Sharing their heathen vision with The Haxan Cloak, The Body's tried, true, and absorbingly tragic sound is mutilated by process and re-animated in a spectral state. This double LP set is expanded with the previously unreleased Earth Triumphant, a full-length companion album that would become I Shall Die Here, showcasing The Body’s bruta…

A Bridge Over The Lagoon
Dean Brown is best known as Little Skull. A basement Florian Fricke, creating grainy chamber miniatures with the same latticework intricacy as the delicate handmade dioramas that serve as the covers of his records. He was (is?) also a member of Nova Scotia, purveyors of reed-heavy skree clouds - a band whose existence feels more like a rumor than a fact and one of the final acts on Peter Stapleton's Metonymic label.
Ben Spiers mostly performs solo and has produced a spartan architecture of lonel…
Gipping Through the Ages
This Norwich-based trio hit our radar earlier this year when we caught their third live performance in London. Gipping Through the Ages is their debut release.
Wild Noise Hall
*2024 stock* "Since the early 70's and Luc Ferrari's Presque Rien N°1, we are now offered the possibility to listen to any sound coming from natural phenomenons and soundscapes as musical composition. We can listen to them as any audio-naturalist do, enjoying the different species of animals and sounds from the storm, the rain, the wind, and the space in between echoing all of them. But we can also listen to them as sounds in an acousmatic way, forgetting the different animals, the storm, the ra…
Freak Out
We are pleased to reissue the masterpiece cassette of the early Acid Mothers Temple, which is an exquisite mix of psychedelic and noise that creates an unidentifiable sound. The reason for the mysteriousness of the sound is the editing that forms the composition and development of the sound in a way that would normally be unthinkable, and will reaffirm the uniqueness of Acid Mothers Temple.

The Last We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other
*150 copies limited edition* "[...]Ansgar Wilken uses an arsenal of sounds that is as simple as it is far-reaching, including objects and utensils whose inherent sounds sometimes sound almost computer-generated. Whether (or where and how what kind of) electronics are used is often difficult to determine, if only because the musician himself is somewhat electrified and can unexpectedly fall into machine rhythms while playing. Wilken's clapping opens up musical worlds in which, instead of virtuosi…

Each of these seven tracks has a depth to it that demands repeated listening. Fanaticus deftly weaves together the subtle nuances o…

s/t
Following last year’s “the Inner Room” Freddy Ruppert continues to explore false cinematic world building within these five tracks that are exclusive to this split cassette. Focusing on heavily manipulated samples, this time he brings textures to the forefront, in a blend of creeping ambient noir, synthetic realms, and hazy atmosphere. Although very often simply filled with the most basic vocabulary of the harsh noise canon, the releases - sometimes criminally obscure and limited - of Josh Stewa…
Samling / Collezione Vol.1
"If you are familiar with the two names here you are probably right about what to expect from this tape. Francesco sent instruments and field recordings from Italy and Jonas mixed them with more music, sounds and tape acrobatics." - JDV
