Deep and cold echoing dronescapes woven together with hypnotic rhythms and metal junk sounds, resulting in massive textures of semi-organic audio lifeforms. Two tracks made exclusively for this release in 1999 combined with two tracks created in 1996-97 all entangle into strong and intense industrial ambient atmospheres. Good quality tape in minimalistic transparent cover with inserts.

Challenging experimental groovescapes of lo-fi beats and hand made garage industrial. Subliminal gibberish made into music, simultaneously surpassing and bringing together all imaginable categories of experimental sounds.

Strong conceptual soundwork by this more carnal manifestation of Tiermes. Storming power electronics, pulsating industrial and purely illuminating ambient spheres with the theme based upon the morphogenetic patterns.

Minimalistic excursion to four different flavours of Finnish ambient industrial. Alchemy of the 20th Century and Hinageshi Bondage presenting ambient with a droning and industrial approach whereas Niko Skorpio and Cloama+Depther create more static and occasionally orchestral ambience.

Second, remastered edition of the well acclaimed vinyl release originally released on Freak Animal Records in 1997. Conceptually based around the idea of the ever-changing nature of organisms and their reactions to whatever stimulus. Applying the concept to sound, Tiermes present six pieces delving passages between heavy guitar noise, ritual percussion, industrial experimentation and harsh power ambient, all reaching frightening frequencies at both extremes.

Documenting the first Kaos Kontrol festival ever, the Kaos ex Machina I double-CDR set contains selections of performances done on the 3rd of June, 2000 by Strom.ec (extreme rhythmical industrial and power electronics) and a collaboration of Grunt and Cloama (violent noise and power electronics), along with entire performances by Temple of Tiermes (suggestive guitar noise manipulation) and the British acts Putrefier (high energy harsh noise) and Dieter Müh (massive industrial and power electronics). All material recorded live at Kaos ex Machina I, mastered and edited by Neuroscan.Org to ensure high quality sound.

Profound exploration to the peripherals of sound and thought; the sounds bringing forth bleak scapes of darkest ambient and the thoughts dwelling deep in the roots of mysticism. Three monumental pieces of haunting soundscapes bearing diversity and depth beyond compare, presenting multifaceted drones spiralling in a constantly evolving vortex of sound. This is the first full-length work from this intriguing new Finnish sound artist, being also a member of I.corax. In addition to the two new studio pieces, included is a live recording from a festival held in Oulu, Finland in May 2001.

Masterly document of transforming the character of a cultural commodity into sound, and via decomposition and manipulation giving it an entirely new structure and meaning. Acoustic signatures collected from railway stations shift into soundworks bearing the fluence and dynamics of the sound sources, yet presenting them in the form of harsh ambience often taking an overwhelming approach by piercing all senses with all-engulfing frequencies. These 8 new pieces belong to the series of this Italian sonic genius exploring field recordings, and presents by far one of his strongest works thus far.

Psychedelic trip back in time through sounds that know no boundaries. Endless turntable recycling loops having teamed up with a galore of electronics and instruments, all force their way through walls of harsh distortion, just to come out as the most diverse sonic pieces ever. Harsh electronica containing elements of experimental noise, industrial and ambient, acting loud and painful whenever feeling like it, calm and vibrating the next second. Paris will never be the same again. First full-length work from this astounding new Finnish sound sculptor, already having a few vinyl releases under his belt.

Audacious plunge into the undercurrent textures of sound overwhelming with archaic and primal influence yet appearing unprecedented and downright fresh in the present day. Finest sonic massives emitting complex syntheses of post industrial, electro-acoustics and harsh ambience; intensive layers of drones and abrasive loops laying foundation to diverse analog sound sculptures. Utilising old reel-to-reel recorders and analog gadgets has given this Finnish duo an almost trademark sound, now presented on their first full length release with highly acclaimed vinyl releases already under their belts.

Fifth instalment in the seven-part series presenting various locations in Reutov, the city of origin for this acclaimed Russian post industrial outfit. Launching off with the ceaseless hum and rhythm of heavy machinery grinding onwards as alarm sounds form into hysterical choirs complementing the slowly proceeding pounding of the machines. As an aftermath, the second piece bears a calmer approach with pulsating drones and loops yet retaining a profoundly ominous nature. After proving themselves to master a wide variety of styles within the post industrial genre, Reutoff present here a rather traditional blend of dark ambient industrial - nonetheless remaining at least equally strong as their previous efforts.

Haunting revelation of sonic worlds where primal elements and archaic voices flux side by side with contemporary methods of amplifying the relation between sound and mind to culmination. Whirling soundscapes of organic and natural phenomena woven together with the synthetic and manipulated; the outcome being nothing short of utmost brilliance in the field of dark ambient and post-industrial. After a few highly acclaimed limited CDr works, the Finnish duo finally presents their first CD release, undoubtedly setting out to challenge the stagnance of the genre they master eminently.

There is obscure and then there is Obscure. The difference is subtle, but when you hear Sink, you know the limit between obscure and Obscure has been surpassed. The Process is a beast that drags you below the surface and lets you gasp for air just enough to keep conscious and experience the horror. Monumental wall of sound built from demented vibrations, violent distortion, wailing feedback, reverberating clashes and almost choral (in)human voices echoing in your mind like amplified painful memories; and when the wall collapses, the undertow pulls you deeper into paranoid and disturbing surroundings filled with static drones, scorching electrical trills and gravely impressive Obscurity that defies mental health. You may never reach back to the surface… This is not a sludge record. This is not a drone record. This is not an experimental record. This is The Process.

Colossal is the word that is bludgeoned into your mind when Hebosagil's debut album forces itself out of your speakers and 43 minutes later you know you have experienced something colossal. This five-piece from Northern Finland boldly mold their colossus from diverse influences and elements, their approach ranging from slow, crushing doom to violent hardcore bursts and riff-heavy sludge, all forced through unhealthy doses of distortion and performed with fiercely rocking energy. "Colossal" includes 7 tracks perfectly showcasing Hebosagil's varied and uncompromising style, but most importantly everything has been tied together with excellent sense of songwriting and dynamics, complemented by the crushing production.
Will cause vibrations to fans of Electric Wizard, Sourvein, Godflesh, Autopsy, Eyehategod, Entombed and Motörhead.

Just when you thought Hebosagil had found their niche on the debut album "Colossal", the band flips the bird at you and deliver "Ura". Already hinted by their split releases with Viisikko and Two Beats Off, Hebosagil have changed their language to Finnish and smashed their chain of distortion pedals in favour of a more organic, yet perhaps even more violent sound. Seven songs of genre defying groove which can go from slow dirge to filthy punk craze without a need to rescue the band from the swamp of forced versatility - not saying that swamp isn't already filled with useless bands. On "Ura", you can find the driving sludge riffs from previous releases, but also a punky noise rock vibe nodding towards bands like Unsane and Radiopuhelimet. Be prepared to stand on your feet for weeks after hearing "Ura", Hebosagil are about to give you the spanking of a lifetime!

"Licked Inch Fur" is the latest four-song EP from top-notch Finnish noise rock act Throat, and somehow it's even better than the "Adult Situations" 7" that I wrote about three months ago. I mentioned last time that the band seems to draw frequent comparisons to 16, Unsane, and Fudge Tunnel, but regardless of whether or not I agree with that, I will say that this EP puts Throat right up there with those highly regarded acts in terms of overall quality level. Surging rhythms, plodding basslines, eerie feedback, ringing dissonance, harsh vocals… it's all here in fine form. The songwriting has an unexpectedly dark heaviness to it as well, and that definitely pays off. And it's all wrapped up in an excellent recording that keeps everything sounding warm and natural – giving each element its own breathing room in the mix. Awesome, awesome stuff. There's absolutely no reason why fans of this particular style shouldn't be absolutely flipping out over this band!

Hot on the heels of their "Licked Inch Fur" 12", Throat deliver two new songs that shouldn't disappoint people who enjoy their watersports golden and compromising situations naked.

After several years of infrequent stages of activity, Solar Horn presents their first own official release, previously having taken part in Blind Date Records' Clone III compilation with a cover version of L7's "Talk Box". Compared to the sparse live appearances over the years, "Rebirth Ritual" presents a less psychedelic and more violent sound with heavy emphasis on monotonous bass riffs, endless layers of painful feedback and wailing guitars as well as minimalistic drums and metal junk percussion. No intention to please or entertain, instead purely to purge negativity from the members' system.
