L'ANTIETAM - FAMILY CD    (slave union)
"Out of the cold winters of New Hampshire comes L'Antietam, shattering the myth that prolific bands lack imagation and creativity. This CD compiles all their work to date: 27 tracks, about 5 seconds shy of a full hour of energetic emotional hardcore. Drawing comparisons to bands such as Reversal of Man, Hot Cross, and Ampere, while at the same time owning their own sound and fueling it with raw passion. This includes the songs from the S/T LP, the "We Like it When.." 7", the split 7" with Furnace, and plenty of newly recorded tracks. All mastered by Josh Bonati and sounding better than ever." MP3 (90kr/€9.50)


L´ANTIETAM - WE LIKE IT WHEN THE RED WATER COMES OUT 7"    (slave union)
"This New Hampshire 4-piece makes one hell of a first impression. Four songs of introspective lyrics screamed and shouted over passionate emotional hardcore that is as urgent as it is raw. They've recently drawn comparisons to reversal of man, circle takes the square, and mid-90's emo." MP3 (35kr/€4)


L´ANTIETAM LP    (adagio 830)
"this is a real young band from Cester, NH that sent me their demo CD-R almost a year ago and everything sounded so fresh to me. They got power, anger and motivation ... so we decided that we gonna release their full length debut LP on adagio830. After recording their new songs at Will Orchids DEAD AIR studio we got an 8 song debut album that reminds me of Reversal of Men (don´t know why – hahaha) w/ a lot of break downs and melodies (like circle takes the square) that are so typical for all those mid 90ies emo bands w/ out losing any energy and anger. You can call it Screamo if you want – but w/ a lot pf heart in it. limited to 500 copies! And mailorder gets CLEAR wax which is limited to 100 copies. They also got a 7inch out on Slave Union those days!!!" descritipon from adagio 830 (85kr/€9)


L/A/B - PSYCHOACOUSTICS CD    (ground fault)
"Live improvisations on electronics and mechanics treated with scientifically approved methods; together with composed sections interpolated with sounds of science; illustrates the musical sounds of the human psyche. Along any sensory continuum the adaptation level is the level we are used to. As listeners adapt to greater amounts of L/A/B music, there is a gradual shift along the continuum toward greater pleasure. At one extreme is the beauty that is associated with a sense of lightness and balanced order. It does have a faintly decorative quality to it. At the other extreme we have the much darker form of beauty that we associate with profundity and truth. The distinction between these two extremes of beauty has less to do with the objects under consideration, whether a flower, or a piece of music, than it does with the attitude of the considerer of the object. The dominating mythology of our time is science. Scientific methods applied to the arts can be used to enhance the receptability of the listener. L/A/B helps the listeners to program their own brains and to develop their own sensitivities." (80kr/€8.50)


LA QUIETE 7" + CD    (pure pain sugar)
"La Quiete's new 7inch is finally available after so many delays, 3 brand new songs coming out with a video-cd that includes 3 videos made by different italians artists, Blu, Emanuele Kabu and Erica Il Cane." MP3 (65kr/€7)


LA QUIETE/LOUISE CYPHRE CD    (electric human project)
"An absurd team up of two unreal European bands. Featuring members of RAEIN, Italy's LA QUIETE contribute four tracks of melodic, yet distraught screamy hardcore. Their sound harks back to the early 90's emo scene of bands like MOHINDER, INKWELL, and FRAIL. On the flip side is Germany's LOUISE CYPHRE, who's sound is along the lines of the breakneck insanity that USURP SYNAPSE, JEROMES DREAM, and PAGE NINETY NINE brought to the mix in the late 90's. Crazy change ups, and guitar tones similiar to DAUGHTERS and THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN." (80kr/€8.50)

LAGHETTO - POCAPOCALISSE CD    (horror vacuit theatre)
"Laghetto extralux digipack CD, new school HC noise for psychiatric institutions from Bologna, Italy. Tracks with thousands of (screamin) vocals and ninja turtles. If Sonate in bu minore is not enough for you... Pocapocalisse! Eleven new songs (di cui una palindroma). It comes into a digipack tartufato cd with a 16 pages full color booklet, different stickers on each cover, something like you can choose your sticker, thousand different stickers! No handly numered copies, no marzapane fruits, no pizza and fichi. No. Imagine a craaaazy mix between Helmet and Refused. Great lyrics." MP3 (40kr/€4.50)


LANDMINE MARATHON - WOUNDED CD    (level plane)
"Formed in late 2004 in the sun scorched desert of Arizona, the five members of LANDMINE MARATHON play thrashy grindcore that recalls the early days of Earache Records. Their first full length record WOUNDED combines ultra heavy riff loaded guitars and punishing rhythms that alternate between maniacal blur and choke the life out of you slowness, all crowned by Grace's gender blurring vocal onslaught. Fans of BOLT THROWER, TERRORIZER, DAUGHTERS, ED GEIN and ASSUCK will soon be suffering from a case of headbanger's neck. WOUNDED was recorded by Ryan Butler @ ARCANE DIGITAL(Impaled, North Side Kings) and mastered by Dave Shirk @ sonorus (Mastodon, Converge, Nasum)." MP3 (100kr/€10.50)

LHD - CURTAINS CD    (troniks)
"The one sheet for LHD says they are a 'double flme-thrower unit from Los Angeles'. I don't know how they get the comparison to a flamethrower other than the fact that they aurally destroy your unsuspecting ass. Five songs of some of the harshest noise imaginable thanks to Phil Blankenship of The Cherry Point and John Wiese of Bastard Noise. As much as I love noise, I find it hard to review. Jeff says it just sounds like birds chirping, but he doesn't know anything. Get your grubby little hands on this while you can." (heartattack review) (70kr/€7.50) MP3


LIFE AT THESE SPEEDS - TO YOUR HEALTH CD    (level plane)
"Life At These Speeds explode with hope. Their songs are frantic, careening slashes of resistance against the tumult and panic of this world. There's desperation in their voices, as if this were a final act of accusation against power; but at the same time a soaring, chiming, sandpaper beauty promises that there's more to life than damnation. The intertwined guitars leap and cut at each other; the stuttering drums and their embracing rhythms; the solid, binding bass notes; the passionate vocals - but that's not what makes it. It's a deeper thing, a shared heart and an unabashed love of creation that makes "To Your Health" a record that will save lives." MP3 (90kr/€9.50)


LIFE AT THESE SPEEDS CD    (level plane)
"Life At These Speeds debut nearly forty minutes of their infectiously catchy and urgent hardcore rock with this amazing self titled full length. At times heavy and at other times very much melodic, this Portland, Oregon based four piece never ceases to hold your attention. With an ambient and jazzy instrumental track as an interlude between the first and second parts of this journey, Life At These Speeds present an an epic and driving classic. People who are remotely interested in the sounds of Shotmaker, Drive Like Jehu, Rites Of Spring and Twelve Hour Turn will be instant fans of this record. Two new songs have been added to this re-release from split EP's with Sinaloa and End on End respectively." MP3 (90kr/€9.50)


LIFE AT THESE SPEEDS/SCIENCE OF YABRA LP    (grey sky)
"This is one of GSR's finest releases to date. It makes me so happy that two of my favorite bands are both on one LP. Life At These Speeds bring us 5 new songs. Beautiful, haunting, epic, and diverse are just a few words to describe the amazing new jams from the LATS boys. Science of Yabra give us 3 new cuts of heavy, pounding, and discordant rock and roll. This record commemorates the friendship between the two bands, the labels, and an amazing trip to Europe in the summer of 2005." (95kr/€10)


LIGHT THE FUSE AND RUN/TRANSISTOR TRANSISTOR CD    (electric human project)
"Virginia's LIGHT THE FUSE AND RUN and New Hampshire's TRANSISTOR TRANSISTOR breathe new life and a taste of fun into a scene that is often heavy handed and forgetful of its youth. LIGHT THE FUSE AND RUN throw at us 4 tracks of their Gravity-cum-Dischord driving aggression. The record starts out with my new all time favorite LTF track. It destroys everything and will be stuck in your head for fucking weeks. If you liked the tracks on the split with Hot Cross, then you will love this. Welcome to a collection of sounds that will have you at work in the pit, shaking your ass as well as your fists. The 4 TRANSISTOR TRANSISTOR tracks on here are some of the darkiest and edgiest Tranny songs yet. They still feature the propulsive rhythm section, driving guitars, and Nat's sultry and sinister vocals. But these tracks offer a look at the dark side of Transistor. With the appearance of some additional instruments and a pretty hot recording....the tracks are a huge step forward from their initial debut 12" ep." (90kr/€9.50)

LOCKWELD - 8 CUTS SAWBLADE 12"    (ncc)

LOG CABIN - A FOREST CD    (jezebel)
"A Forest is the new seductive album by the humbly legendary swedish trio Logcabin. Listeners face a dense ande descriptive journey with labyrinths of unidentified sounds, gridlike vocal deliveries, drugged drumming and magnificent string playing. Old followers will recognise traces from Logcabin´s excellent previous recordings: The Society LP (2001) and Statistics are static (2003). A Forest breathes fresh air which will sleep under your door and slowly leave you overwhelmed. The artwork on this artiago-packaged record is made by Robin Watkins." (90kr/€9.50)


LOOPOOL - COURTESY RUN RAMPANT LP + CD-R    (not not fun)
"LA’s king discontent Loopool finally achieved such core-level burn-out at day-to-day California-cation that he uprooted his Sycophanticide mini-empire and bolted for greener/rainier pastures (the Pacific Northwest). That said, Courtesy Run Rampant is the perfect Not Not Fun-eral for our favorite post-noise avante cultural disintegrator. Three bizarrely orchestrated manifestoes ringing with bashed upright piano, harsh drum distortion, and elegiac clarinet lament, often complimented with Herr Loopool’s Leonard Cohen-like dead poeticizing. Recorded during a day-in-the-studio birthday present at The Distillery in Costa Mesa on thick reel-to-reel tape, and effused with focus/purpose. One-sided LPs – with an ornate conspiracy-theorizing art chart etched on the B side – housed in hand-stamped, stenciled, painted jackets, plus a full-page insert AND a bonus full-length CDR of additional music/musings. Limited to 200." (100kr/€10.50)


LOOPOOL CD-R    (arbor)
"jean-paul garnier does it again. this ever changing artists comes at us with a lagrely vocal oriented album. free rock guitar jams and synth explorations. sewer pipe drones with beutifully placed vocals. this is another album that has been in the works for far too long, but it is finally here for you to hear. every song sounds differents as this urban chamelon of an artist approaches new terrain. some of these songs totally rock(in the rock and roll type of way), some of these songs rock (in the garage punk type of way), and some of these songs rock(in the noise drone type of way). these lyrics are there to make you think. think about your friends and think about the world. the lyrics are collected in a scrawled out sheet which folded up fits like a nice book in the purple clam shell case. the clam shell case is then put in a full color sike-out drawn custom envelope. in a numbered edition of 50 copies." MP3 (45kr/€5)


LOOSERS - BUMBA MEU BOI TAPE    (not not fun)
"The great unraveling continues. We first heard Loosers’ fried/frayed spool of sound-sprawl last year, via the Ruby Red/Jelle Crama-splattered LP/CDR offering. Immediate Portuguese fever set in. They, however, are a busy crew, dropping albums for Qbico and Our Mouth, touring Europe with Mouthus, generally ruling, etc. So NNF release plans moved slow. Fast forward to today: the CS is HERE, the time is NOW. Named for a semi-metaphorical 18th century Brazilian tale/dance concerning the FUCKED hierarchical relations between slaves and lords at the time, Bumba Meu Boi boils/roils with post-rational uprise, alchemical percussion ritual, and pulse-of-the-people electronic sub-consciousness. Two beautiful sides of fluidly splayed labor-as-magick post-Sunburned collectivist psych action. REAL tapes (a first for NNF) in hand-color-dyed, hand-numbered cardstock J-cards with cult cave-art covers. Limited to 200" (50kr/€5.50)


THE LOST PATROL BAND 12"    (ny våg)
"LPB is a power pop band from Ume, Sweden. The music is influenced by Buzzcocks, Elvis Costello and The Ramones. Three accord punkrock with songs about love. One of the better poppunk album from Sweden in years. Members from The International Noise Conspiracy, Refused, Randy, DS13, Tristess, Vicious, Dead Ones and Perishers." MP3 (80kr/€8.50)


LUASA RAELON - THE POISON CITY CD    (eibon)
"Welcome to the poison city. A place where nuclear radiations colour the sky with green clouds, mutating vegetation suffocates the sun and asphyxiating miasms coming from abandoned toxic wastes endanger life... LUASA RAELON is definitely one of the most interesting realities of US dark ambient/death industrial scene, combining low-rumbling drones with extemporaneous noise bursts to create a pretty personal & recognizable sound. This poison city IS a terrible place, trust me..." MP3 (80kr/€8.50)


LUGBURZ - TRIUMPH OF ANTICHRIST CD    (circle of tyrants)
"Another spear pierced the rotten heart of Christ! 37 minutes of total rage and hatred toward Christianity by Polish horde of tyrant lycanthropes. Fast paced bestial Black Metal with originality not futile innovation! No keyboard melodies, no female vokals! Sound/Production quality is better than what you expect! A homage to The Antichrist, A tribute to his monarchy from the very underground of Poland." (80kr/€8.50)


LUNGFISH - FERAL HYMNS LP    (dischord)
"Lungfish is now operating in its seventeenth year. The group's consciousness alternately/ simultaneously coalesces and disperses creating a continuos quasi-musical pulse which reaches climax at semi-monthly publc performances. Feral Hymns was recorded by Tim Green (The Fucking Champs, Nation of Ulysses) at Louder Studio in San Francisco in the Fall of 2004 and was mastered John Golden and Tim Green at John Golden Mastering."

MAGGOTED CD-R    (jyrk)
"Aside from Gabe and Liz, I've probably spent as much time with Robert Mayson from Grey Daturas in the last year as I have with anyone. I feel totally honored to have had time with the dude.... I can't think of a better dude to be trapped in a sweaty van with or out exploring odd aussie beach towns... No matter where you're at with the dude, he's always down for whatever trouble needs to happen. So.. when he and I were both camping at the old Huffin House in Oakland, where I was at the end of one tour, and he was at the beginning of his, we decided that we would form a band... Now.. there ARE plans for us to record in the future, I'm not sure if it'll be later this year or in ten years, I don't really care... that's all besides the point.. what does matter is that we slammed our skulls together for just about 30 minutes and dropped this egg out of the cracks... This is the entire recording history of the group thus far. the music is totally dense, repetitive and dark.. I think we were both listening to mirror a lot around then, but I can also hear heaps of early MAIN in there too.. Anyway, I felt great during this sesh and I'm always stoked to listen to this thing.. I hope ya'll are too. edition of 150." (50kr/€5.50)


MAJORITY RULE - EMERGENCY NUMBERS CD    (magic bullet)
"'emergency numbers' is the second proper full length from washington d.c.'s majority rule and their third release with magic bullet. recorded in snowy isolation in the dead of winter '03 at the outpost (stoughton, ma), this finely crafted cd/lp finds majority rule exceeding all possible expectations of both themselves and the perception of a modern diy hardcore band. where others get 'experimental' over time (or simply follow what's hot at the moment), this band is intent on branding and furthering a unique sound that is distinctly majority rule. and they have succeeded: huge production, goosebump-inducing dynamics, and the balanced dual-vocal attack that fans of the band have grown to adore... a record so groundbreaking that the band has already committed the next 7 months of their lives to touring the world in support! this is the recording that most indie, pseudo-indie, and even a few majors labels tried to wrestle away. yet once again, our beloved trio does washington d.c. proud by upholding the diy ethic that has come to define a city reborn."

MARAH-MAR CD    (scenester credentials)
"Delicate cello lines gain momentum until they burst apart at the seams, textural noises are pealed away exposing an underlying song, guitars collid in a wide stereo field to cascade and weave together. These are amongst the most apt descriptions of Marah-Mar's self titled debut album, a collection of songs as memorable for their mood and atmosphere as they are for their melodic counterpoints. Elements gleaned from electronic music, instrumental groups such as Dirty Three, Tortoise, Explosions in the Sky, and GSBYE!, as well as a vast body of psych rock, jazz, and chamber music all contribute to an aesthetic that dazzles the ears and entices the imagination. Marah-Mar recorded in the capable hands of Tucker Burns, a talented engineer whose sstudio built in an abandoned church provided the perfect atmosphere to capture the group's expansive sound. This is music that rewards the listener who can lost themselves in the epic sounds and the cinematic imagery that Marah-Mar skillfully creates." MP3 (80kr/€8.50)

MASS MOVEMENT OF THE MOTH/THE CATALYST CD    (electric human project/the perpetual motion machine)
"An eleven song collaborative split of apocalyptic proportions from two of DC/VA's most fierce and twisted young bands. Mass Movement Of The Moth returns with blast after contagious blast of synth-driven, psychedelic post-hardcore, while The Catalyst sludge through their latest offering of kerosene-soaked, in-your-face noise-punk/grunge. Song order switches from band to band allowing no side A or side B to keep the collective rock apart. For fans of Born Against, Pg.99, claymation, Camera Obscura, Melt Banana, and the movie Labyrinth (especially the scenes with Ludo). Full US tour June & July 200666." (90kr/€9.50)


MASS MOVEMENT OF THE MOTH - FINALE 10"    (alone)
"Merging raw hardcore and electronic elements, Mass Movement of the Moth unleashes a blistering weapon of sonic destruction that will likely draw comparisons to big brothers The Locust and An Albatross, as well as Mike Patton's sonic experiment gone awry, Fantomas. Following a string of split 7 inches, Mass Movement of the Moth reworked and re-recorded 2004's self-released "Finally" CDEP, and is re-releasing it under the title "Finale" on seminal New York state hardcore label Alone Records."

MATT WAND - PUBLIC: EXE 10"    (dekorder)
"Mr. Wand was one half of plunderphonic duo Stock, Hausen & Walkman, now aka Small Rocks and head of the Hot Air label. Always interested in small electronic devices he began to incorporate Game Boys running the Nanoloop and Little Sound DJ software into his live sets a few years ago. First recorded results have been released on the "Nanoloop 1.0" compilation (Disco Bruit) and the "1 1/2 Volt Music" 3"CD on Hot Air (extracts from an infinite symphony for 12 self-propelled pocket game machines). After experiencing some of Mr. Wand's energetic armchair live sets during his tour with the Goodiepal and Nanoloop programmer Oliver Wittchow in Germany we proposed to release some of his live recordings and one year later we finally got the results. Played on Game Boys and few effect pedals only, these recordings were made in Manchester, Utrecht and at the Felix Kubin curated "Nuit Blanche" in Paris. While all the instruments are very small the sound defintely isn't. This is high energy electronic music reminding of early Suicide bootlegs (and sometimes causing a riot too) or Free Jazz played on handhelds. Not being your typical video game music record, it utilizes sounds you wouldn't really expect from a Game Boy. These tracks simply rock! Limited edition of 500!" MP3 (60kr/€6.50)

MEF TEEF - IMPLIED BRAIN-FLEX TAPE    (night people)
"Debut transmission from this Iowa City based Free Music group. Rolling piano lines and crisp rhythmic drumming hold the backdrop for trumpet and saxophone spazz and howl. Before you know it everything breaks down into mush before instantly reforming into perfect hard-bop catchiness, swing cheesiness, or carnivalesque creepiness but only for a measure and then who knows what comes next." (50kr/€5.50)


MERZBOW - MASCHINENSTIL CD-R    (dual plover)
"As far as I can tell, this is one of the last analog era releases and one of the first recorded at "Bedroom, Tokyo." Structurally, the two pieces here sound a lot like what Akita would go on to do with his powerbooks, but much harsher and significantly more organic than much of the often too rigid material of the digital era. The first track has some incredible high end and harsh droning waves of harsh noise, in some ways bringing to mind harsh power electronics, but this element of intense high end is coupled with psychadelic but insistent processed drum loops and tones. In other words, this is an album with some very harsh sounds, but it's not brutal from start to finish. At roughly 52 minutes, this album is a little short (for Merzbow), but still satisfying." (50kr/€5.50)


MERZBOW & JOHN WIESE CD    (misanthropic agenda)
"An impressive display of both incredible composition and furious power from noise masterminds Masami Akita and John Wiese. Having both released significant work on Misanthropic Agenda, we are very proud to offer their premier collaborative album! Akita and Wiese pull no punches. No beats, no prog, no techno -- just pure delivery and satisfaction of electronic extremes." MP3 (100kr/€10.50)


MESA VERDE - AMOR FATI CD    (art for blind)
"Mesa Verde are from Glasgow, Scotland and play mid 90's emo/hardcore simlilar to bands like Envy and City of Caterpillar. This CD features 4 tracks over 25 mins. The record comes with a hand screened sleeve designed by Angelino of La Quiete." MP3 (80kr/€8.50)


METH AND GOATS - ATTACK FROM METH AND GOATS MOUNTAIN CD    (electric human project)
"In a sea of shitty and overpackaged demo CDrs and lame as hell press kits complete with glossy promo shots, you can always find that diamond in the rough worth salvaging. For me that diamond was the midwest's Meth And Goats. I was already familiar with Meth And Goats from their split seven inch with Ten Grand, but haven't heard much from them since. After listening to some of their home recorded tracks on repeat all day I had to wonder why. After subsequent conversations with them about a possible release I knew I had to be involved with their debut full length. Meth And Goats prove that punk rock doesn't have to be overproduced and glossy on "Attack From Meth And Goats Mountain". They rip through 42 minutes worth of post-hardcore dirt-rock comparable to bands like Transistor Transistor, At The Drive In, and The Blood Brothers, but with an originality all of its own. Meth And Goats marry an art damaged punk sound with an absurd amount of spaced out jams, numbing feedback, and distorted screams that reeks of beer and body odor. Raw, rough around the edges, and catchy as sin." MP3 (90kr/€9.50)


MICROWAVES - CONTAGION HEURISTIC CD    (crucial blast)
"In the anti-tradition of whitebread Bay Area thrash metal, the violent morass of New York no wave, and a familiarity with Ralph Records / THE RESIDENTS insanity, Microwaves draws from a palette that is somehow as wide as it seems limited. Spiked skronk-infested guitars spit tonality-impaired riffs like so much chaff from a surgically calibrated tree shredder, while a propulsive fretless bass assault is jammed through all manner of alien effects, often rendering it as more a bowel-rumbling presence than an actual instrument. The percussive cyborg clatter and MICROWAVE's paranoid dual vocal attack serve to further blast MICROWAVES' dystopian thrash into the outer void. Features former 1985/CREATION IS CRUCIFIXION/CONELRAD/FATE OF ICARUS personnel." MP3 (90kr/€9.50)


MIKA MIKO - C.Y.S.L.A.B.F LP    (deleted art)
"Mika Miko has made a name for themselves by being truly on their own program. The 5 piece all female ..punk.. band will defend the term with all their power because they are just that, an amazing Punk band, both in spirit and attitude. Pounding their way through interesting, fast, pop songs that leave you wondering how they pull the steam all the way through. Imagine a high school dance where Red Cross, Black Flag, X-Ray Spex, The Slits and The Germs are all playing at with an updated flare of excitement and anxiousness. That feeling you are thinking of is the feeling of Mika Miko and the sound you are imagining is only part of the equation that makes Mika Miko a local favorite in L.A. and everywhere else." MP3 (90kr/€9.50)


MIKOTO CD    (level plane)
"The music business is fickle - bands come and go all the time. Orange County's Mikoto is one of the few bands that when they hit the stage for their very first performance, got immediately noticed. Formed in September 2004 by former members of legendary hardcore act Taken and Preacher Gone To Texas, Mikto runs the gamut of influences and refuses be confined to just one "label." Think Hope Conspiracy meets Thrice meets Strung Out. Mikoto plays music from their heart that transcends every scene from song to song. Ethereal music, crashing guitars, raw and melodic vocals – no one song on this EP define the bands’ sound but rather, encompasses it. Their live performances are packed with unyielding high energy reminiscent of Dillinger Escape Plan without the use of fire breathers. Expect big things from Mikoto in the next few months – although new on the scene – they’re filled with experience and talent." MP3 (70kr/€7.50)


MILEMARKER - OMNIOSITY LP    (stickfigure)
"As the eyeball one sheet states: "milemarker returns from their three year hiatus and joins the Eyeball Records family. Milemarker frontmen David Laney and Al Burian have created their most ambitious and innovative album to date. Guest appearances from Milemarker alumni Ben Davis (with a long list of others), and the fresh perspective of being on a new lable, are just a few of the things that set "ominosity" apart from Milemarker's already successful catalog". Eyeball is going all out with a full advertising campaign, marketing/press by Stunt Company and the Radiotakeover street team, full college radio service, a video. AP among others will be printing interviews of milemarker. The record was mastered by John Golden, pressed at RTI and the gatefold cover was printed by Ross Ellis." MP3 (100kr/€10.50)


MILEMARKER - FUTURE ISMS LP     (tcwtga)
"the second fullengt, presenting a more dissonant and aggressive 'hardcore' musical direction which paradoxically sounds much more like the theme music to nintendo games at the same time. angry, abstract-political lyrics mask the true theme of the record, antipahty towards the housemates. the cd comes enchanced with rom, and includes various manifestos and reprints from zines passed out at shows, lots of additional extremely video-game sounding music as well as video footage of selected high and low moments of milemarker playing in front of audiences."

MIXTAPES & CELLMATES - IF THERE IS SILENCE, FILL IT WITH LONGING CDEP    (no method)
"Swedes Mixtapes and Cellmates presents their new luvely lush EP "If There Is Silence, Fill It With Longing". Great pop, guitardriven soundscapes, melancholy and hope meets something that feels real. Electronic sounds and shoegaze guitarwalls cuddle. This is really good. Mixtapes & Cellmates are a young fresh band, who made their first successfull thrusts to awareness when they toured with KHONNOR around Scandinavia. Mixtapes & Cellmates have been compared to bands like My Bloody Valentine and The Radio Dept. But we feel that they have found themselves a very distinct and own sound. Mixtapes & Cellmates are without a doubt one of The most interesting new bands out there today!" MP3 (50kr/€5.50)


MODERAT LIKVIDATION - KÖTTAHUVE 7"    (havoc)

MODERAT LIKVIDATION - MARIONETT I KEDJOR 7"    (havoc)
"Originally recorded and released as a demo tape in 1983 these songs have been re mastered from the original tapes. More original 1983 raw Swedish hardcore punk from the original ragers. This was a lot of material to fit onto a 7", but still sounds quite good considering it's source. These tracks will be released on the forthcoming Moderat Likvidation CD on Havoc.

MONNO - ERROR CD    (conspiracy)
"Dense, abstract, challenging, and confrontational. Monno stands out from the legacy of doomsayers that includes Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, Whitehouse, and more recently Wolf Eyes and Lightning Bolt. Monno are impressively, expertly abrasive in sending atomic blasts of fury, but beneath the shock value of these overwhelming sonic miasmas are throat-grappling melodies evoking a dense, brutal trance. In their rather short existence Monno has toured with Isis/Jesu and Lightning Bolt. They shared stages with contemporaries Melt Banana, Martin Rev, Marduk, Mauro Pawlowski, Ultralyd..."

MONOCHROME - FERRO LP     (trans solar)
"the long-awaited new release from pop rock specialists monochrome, the band's first new material in four years. includes six new tracks, along with the song 'angelfire', which was previously released on a 7-inch by dim mak. subdued and layered melodies, delivered with beautiful male and female vocal interplay."

MONSTER DUDES 7"    (breaking world)
"The once father/son noise duo, Monster Dudes, grows at the same rate as Venec (the younger member) grows up. Now a 3 piece, Monster Dude's have ventured into some dance punk territory, with Venec leading the dance floor with party shout vocals, at a mere age 5, that give bands like Moving Units a run for their money. Still loving the antics of noise, but now feeling a little more focused (with noise skits abut bailing your son out of jail, etc), Monster Dudes will probably be as different every year as any child growing up is. And that's their magic. While most parent/child bands are all about the obsessive control of the parent, MD is all about helping your kid bring to life whatever they can imagine. A true testament to family love. MP3 (40kr/€4.50)


MOUTHUS - SISTER VIBRATION LP    (our mouth)
"Brand new LP from Mouthus that might be their most devolved circumnavigation of rock from to date. The guitars are impossibly impacted, muffled sandpaper huffs that move in tectonic slugs while the drums shrug between boings of tone-pad squelch, electrified steel-band ceremonials and primitively executed power stomps. This kinda profound retro-futurist refusal lines em up with a buncha modernists like Chrome, TG and even live Mars but there’s something in the distant, hiccupping vocals and the generally manhandled atmosphere that sounds like a more drug-degraded take on the kinda hillbilly scorch that Alpo-era Cheater Slicks occasionally delivered on. If you like yr rock gasoline-damaged to the point of almost-intelligible, stick out your cans. Limited edition of 500 copies in art sleeves released on the group’s own private press imprint." - Volcanic Tongue. (140kr/€15)


MOUTHUS/COUSINS OF REAGGE LP    (oesb)
"A side each of fertile noise-rot from Montreal’s Cousins of Reggae and Brooklyn’s Mouthus. Soundly rejected by Discovery Channel - the Cousins five-track suite about the Hudson Bay follows up their limited & hard-to-find debut LP and a recent CD-R on Mouthus’s Our Mouth imprint. They set sail with some hyperactive stompers and narcoleptic stumblers intent on capsizing all vessels in their path before coming under attack by a squadron of pissed off jet-skiers. On flip are two massive Mouthus jams - "New Drugz" & "Better Than Facemask" which perfectly capture a day spent peaking on mescaline at the Daytona 500. Limited edition of 500 with unique handpainted covers and full-color inserts.." - OESB. (140kr/€15)

MY CAT IS AN ALIEN - THE SECRET OF THE DANCING SNOW CD    (ikuisuus)
"Another voyage into the inky blackness with the cosmos-loving Italians and another gem. MCIAA have gone from making dronescapes that were merely beautiful to listen to (merely!) to vast vistas of sound that seem to exert an almost gravitational pull into their depths. This opens with Roberto Opalio's parched vocal trances and the calming ching of Oriental bells and builds into a soporific sea of echoing guitar notes with bells rippling through it like a warm wind. For some reason, the line from "Astronomy Domine" about "the blue you once knew" comes to mind. The sound then appears to collapse in on itself before ebbing into freefall. Divinely beautiful. - Boa Melody Bar" MP3 (SAMPLE) (120kr/€12.50)

MY NAME IS RAR RAR 3" CD-R    (8mm)
"my name is rar rar are currently burning a hole in the midwest through their fiery and disconcerting style. the rar rar sound references the manic, twitching pulse of the stick men, updates it with a distinct ferociousness, and wraps everything in a pretty pink satin. tight, fluctuating rhythms form a suitable pulpit from which to preach childish bird-calls, frustrated laments and prayers of hub bub. proficient not only in piss-soaked rainbows or birthday party vomit, my name is rar rar exemplify fashion in our most nostradamus of times. plastically, my name is rar rar first hit ears worldwide through their split 45 with neon hunk, contributing 'pickles' and 'hounds' to a world in dire need of both. more notably, my name is rar rar have been consistently providing aural airbrushing to live audiences, perfecting the palm tree beach scene. filled with extravagance, tights, compatible color schemes, and more energy than a case of power bars, my name is rar rar provide more entertainment and excitement in a 20 minute set than most performers would assume possible."

MÖRSER - PURE SCUM LP    (vendetta)
"I don’t think the Germans of Mörser need an introduction. Their first 2 full lengths 2 Hours To Doom and 10.000 Bad Guys Dead became cult albums and since then they’ve built a steady fanbase worldwide. It’s been a while since they released something new though. In 2002 they released the mini cd Scum, the soundtrack for a comic with the same title. They were supposed to release another soundtrack for a comic called Pure but this release got postponed until it didn’t get released at all. This still has the trademark Mörser sound. It's heavy, mean, brutal and 100% metal and the two singers still grunt and scream like madmen. So nothing really changed since their last full length album 10.000 Bad Guys Dead. The new Pure songs have a better production than the old ones, which doesn't make them sound less brutal." MP3 (90kr/€9.50)


NARWHAL 7"    (super fi)
"london's screamy emo meisters deliver three tunes of searing emotive hc, this is clearly one for those reared on closure and portraits of past, when screaming all over your music didn't instantly mean you sounded like orchid." (35kr/€4)


NASH KONTROLL - YOUR LEFT HAND JUST EXPLODED CD    (ideal)
"This is fucking extreme. No shit. I am deadly serious. This is no doubt the best recorded and best sounding advanced-experimental music records I have laid ears on. Sharp, like a stiletto knife. Heavy, as a steel tank and spieced with ever changing tones and atmospheres. This is a document of the true power in sound and noise. In the hands of Mats Gustafsson, Dror Feiler and Lasse Marhaug sound and noise are getting vital again. Three true masters of the unknown terretories of their acoustic and electronic equipment. A modern power trio. This is the debut album by this new band. Yes! An important release on iDEAL. Maybe out most important one yet. For all the right reasons." MP3 (100kr/€10.50)


NAUTICAL ALMANAC/VERTONEN LP    (snse)
"nautical’s side could be considered a potential sound documentary of an army of cats in ice skates crashing through a recycling center. how carefully those felines climb the mountainous pile of aluminum cans before fate sends them slipping down, down, down into glassware and truck springs. vertonen’s side sputters, lurches, and drones until reaching an inevitable hallelujah to 60s female vocalists. The aural pleasure is akin to that reached when an incandescent strobe light is aimed at your eyes while you are restrained on a decrepit merry-go-round." (50kr/€5.50)

"4 beautifully composed yet haunting instrumental numbers from italy's neil on impression. this, their sophomore release, sees the band moving on from the inevitable tristeza comparisons that followed their first cd, illustrating a greater emphasis on the use of stringed instruments and more subtle arrangements. influenced primarily by the movie 'last tango in paris' the perfect tango should be a tonic for fans of explosions in the sky, do make say think and mono. lp comes packaged in a beautiful gatefold sleeve that folds out to reveal a map of paris."

THE NEW ALCHEMY - ORGANIC UNIVERSE CD    (ideal)
"Organic Universe is the second full length album of The New Alchemy; the sounding output for multi-faced artist Per Svensson, born in Gothenburg in 1965, now based in the beautiful south-west of Sweden. Svensson is comfortably moving between sound art and noise experiments, poetry, psych-rock, installation- and conceptual art. The borders are cloudy and unimportant. This is all as important to the world you are to know as The New Alchemy. Per Svensson was since the very early 80’s involved in the Gothenburg punk scene and bands like Rabies and also in the legendary society Garageligan. He has slowly created an artistic language of his own and since 1987 he is earning his living as an artist. Active in the circuit surrounding the Radium organisation he was inspired by people like CM von Hausswolff, Freddie Wadling, Jean-Louis Huhta and Leif Elggren. Soon – Svensson’s work was picked up by Elggren’s label Firework Editions which has been a very important base for his alchemical experiments in sound and image. Organic Universe is alchemic rock with an honest power. There’s a lot of nerve, and Svensson is allowing time to evolve the songs… There’s echoes of rock music from the 60’s and on. And echoes of mysticism, alchemy and occultism – colouring the music and the lyrics of course. Timeless music. But also simply, a fucking good rock album from The New Alchemy." MP3 (100kr/€10.50)


THE NEW BLOCKADERS/THURSTON MOORE/JIM O´ROURKE CD    (hospital)
"Some sick, cold atmospherics on this first time colaboration between The New Blockaders, Thurston Moore, Jim O'Rourke and guest Chris Corsano. Track one - TNB with Thurston Moore - is a brooding death tone overlaid with grinding, scraping noises that become increasingly beast-like as the track progresses. Track two - TNB with Jim O'Rourke - is more subtle but equally as menacing. Manipulated white noise and radio waves collide head on at the two minute mark with some muffled, claustrophobic percussion, courtesey of Corsano. Short, sweet and tense as f**k. Recommended." (120kr/€12.50)


'NEW' TERROR CLASS - DID YOU HEAR THAT WE FUCKED? LP    (electric human project)
"NTC preserve the Kent, Ohio heritage with the ten tracks on their full length 'did you hear that we fucked?' Members of THE PARTY OF HELICOPTERS and HARRIET THE SPY combine dark keyboard elements and complex guitarwork alongside plaintive vocals that alternate between spoken and screamed. A considerable amount of acid wit is also thrown into the songs, which have titles such as "give me your e-mail address, i'll send you some sick shit," "with an uzi and a 40oz," and "flying fuck for all." This LP is the long awaited vinyl version of the CD that was released on Troubleman Unlimited many days ago." MP3 (80kr/€8.50)


NEW WAVER - NEUTER CD    (dual plover)
"Boring folks from the tax office singing boring songs from the 80s sounding tired, bored and beaten down by society. It sounds terrible, but it's not. It's genius. Breathing new life - or is it lifelessness? - into some old chestnuts like I Got You Babe, You've Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party and a few that are a little different than I remember. Jailbreak becomes Tea Break and they seemed to have missed the point a little with songs like Too Sober To Fuck and Middle Class Man. After all these years of take, take, take finally the ATO are giving something back in the form of New Waver: Neuters." MP3 (60kr/€6.50)


NEWGENICS - EVERY GIRL IN THE WORLD 7"    (level plane)
"newgenics carefully choose their ingredients from the vegetable aisle of the post-everything world. they choose not to puree, but rather slice these ingredients into jagged pieces for inclusion in their sonic stewpot. newgenics harness the anarchic power of the sexually repressed mind as a heating element to boil this soup down to a single hardened wafer of vinyl. hoarders note: this slab is issue number one! the very first steps of this newborn that's about to grow into one very bad kid. get in on the groundfloor so you can say you knew them when. we struggle with telling you 'ex members of in/humanity, guyana punch line and marion' because a statement like that ain't gonna sell a record to anybody." (40kr/€4.50)


NIELLERADE FALLIBILISTHORSTAR - HÅLRUM CD    (snse)
"The Swedish masters of dark brooding creep return with their second full-length album and first to be made available on vinyl. Hålrum continues in the tradition established on their debut, Hackelsekista (Total Holocaust Records, 2004,) and then surpasses that brilliant recording, stretching their sounds to lay down one fortyfive minute-long piece that encompasses all elements of NFH. Using found, homemade, and traditional instruments in a variety of settings (including many out-of-doors,) NFH creates music that is chaotic, ambient, and full of unease. Hålrum is the noise of rusted ghost armies. It is the sound of decayed and poisoned winds as they howl through forgotten chemical factories. It is aural dread. Vinyl: Edition of 300, full color printed LP jackets, 2-color printed poster. CD: Edition of 425, pro-printed on textured cardstock, clear jewel case, runs about 6 minutes longer than the LP and presents the work in its uninterupted entirety." MP3 (80kr/€8.50)


NIGHT WOUNDS - ALLERGIC TO HEAT LP    (woodsist)
"Allergic to Heat LP, recorded in early 2006 in a downtown LA practice space by the band. 8 songs just shy of 30 minutes, mostly recorded live.

NIGHT WOUNDS 7"    (gilgongo)
"You probably haven't heard of Night Wounds yet, but just be patient. Their discography, already containing this solo seven inch and a split one-sided seven inch with Black Castle, is about to mulitply with upcoming split records with the likes of Coughs, Die Fugue USA and Genders. Their sound is a sort of lo-fi, feedback driven dance-punk that will bring excitement to fans of An Albatross, Combatwoundedveteran, Coughs, Lightning Bolt, etc. The artwork for this record was created by Chris of Steak Mountain, the man responsible for all of the CWV artwork, as well as much of the Atom & His Package and Reversal of Man graphics.

The Nihilistics originally hailed from Long Island, but gigged around Manhatten in clubs like A7, CBGB's and the Mudd Club, and appeared on the legendary New York Thrash compilation with THE BEASTIE BOYS, THE MAD, and THE BAD BRAINS. Through their wild live shows, they developed a reputation as one of the most damaged and misanthropic bands in New York City." MP3 (80kr/€8.50)

Fast Forward ten plus years, and I'm a bit older and making a small racket of my own.. we're on tour with Gang Wiz and playing up in bellingham, WA with Noggin.. ALL ARE STOKED. The Noggin bros rock up with no amps and TWO violin cases.. so.. now noggin's AS ABRASIVE as ever, but totally acoustic..

NONHORSE - HARAAM, CIRCLE OF FLAME CD    (release the bats!)
"Nonhorse is the solo act of Gabriel Lucas Crane from Wooden Wand & The Vanishing Voice and this is his debut album. On Haraam, piles of mysterious old cassettes are used as source material to create magic in a stunning way over 42 moody minutes. Different audio fragments on top of each other, over and over again, hand-mixed and orchestrated at what feels like must have been ritualistic tape laborations taken place somewhere where the sun never shines. Various echoes from the past are buried under layers and layers of manipulated voices, train signals, animal sounds and god knows what. Abrupt endings which burns like fire in your head. Churches in flames, the soundtrack to The House With The Laughing Windows played backwards, alien autopsys, cemetery fog, devestation... Haraam is a beautiful junkyard nightmare, a horrifying and atmospheric album. 13 songs. Mastered by Pete Swanson." MP3 (80kr/€8.50)


NONHORSE - RIGOR LORE TAPE    (not not fun)
"Hope you like to read/research. Cause Gabriel Lucas Crane aka Non-Horse here unfurls an ancient 80 minute scroll of dense cryptic sound/texts, perfect for dream-diviners and out-of-work drone-archeologists. The Brooklyn tape-manipulator conspiracy theorist (and full-time Vanishing Voice chief) has crafted similarly mystic audio-calligraphies for other visionary label undergrounders like Release the Bats and Fuck It Tapes but “Rigor Lore” is his first real novel-length outpouring. The A side walks through wondrous home recorded catacombs of dead machine murk and hieroglyphic mystery, murmuring million-year-old Masonic secrets to pharaoh ghosts, while the B terrain documents a series of his live rituals, which are equally occult and symbol-ridden. Fire-red tapes with printed labels in cases with runic/riddle cover art by GLC himself, color-copied on heavy Byzantine-gold paper, plus a lengthy scripture insert." (50kr/€5.50)

OCS - 3 LP    (yik yak)
"The third album from this two-piece acoustic guitar project led by John Dwyer (Coachwhips, Pink & Brown). Given the nature of Dwyer's other pursuits, the muffled, far-off quality of 3 is a departure, and while some tracks are minimalist beauties, the majority are full of sharp ideas drenched in an intoxicating distance. Nicely packaged with hand-printed sleeves." (120kr/€12.50)

"I think I've mentioned previously that we decided a bit ago to invite a few more established folks to drop some of their own particular breed of trouble under the JYRK moniker.. We got to drop that Spiderwebs deal awhile back and now... we've got OF.. A.K.A. Loren Chasse.. I don't know if anyone else spent last year being haunted by this dude, but both "the Air In The Sand" and Thuja's "Pine Cone Temples" spent serious time in my disc player and on my brain. I HAD to ask Loren to kick something down.. So.. We have The Awful Cloud.. possibly the darkest piece of music I've heard from Loren.. It's all instruments... organs, guitar, bells and field recordings collaged into one beautiful and dark cloud. edition of 150." (50kr/€5.50)

OHM - THE BLACK RIVER 7"     (release the bats)
the latest effort on release the bats records! ohm is an instrumental four-piece (features two members from the jam session), self described as 'timeless electronica'. think heavy progressive rock from the 70´s intersecting with modern electronica. a bit like a soundtrack to a fantasymovie from the 80´s. goblin comes to mind at times. the result of those 3 songs are truly amazing. orange vinyl (limited black vinyl for mailorder) + fullcolor artwork.

The O.S.S. released their first LP on Load records in '97 which was greeted with much acclaim and fanfare in Alternative Press, Your Flesh, Maximumrocknroll, etc... you get the idea. the band is something of a super group as it includes members of legendary providence noise makers as: VON RYAN'S EXPRESS, THE GOLDEN TOUCH, THEE HYDROGEN TERRORS, and LANDED!

ON THE MIGHT OF PRINCESS - WHERE YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU WANT TO BE LP    (traffic violation)

THE ONE AM RADIO - ON THE SHORE OF THE WIDE WORLD CD    (level plane)
"this remix ep follows up the full-length album a name writ in water, released in april of 2004. hrishikesh hirway (aka the one am radio) creates intricate, lush compositions, full of both hope and heartache. on this record, six of his songs are deconstructed and reinterpreted by a cast of luminaries. the line-up includes avant hip-hop auteur daedelus (ninja tune/mush/plug research/eastern dev), minimalist tech-house veteran john tejada (plug research/palette), ambient experimentalist the wind-up bird (music fellowship/translucence), shoegazey beatmaker caural (chocolate industries), and anticon mc and producer alias. the artwork for the ep is a remix as well, by acclaimed artist brian alfred, who based his illustrations on one of hrishikesh's photographs from the liner notes of the full length."

ONE INCH SHADOW - BIRTHDAY OF ANGELS AND MANNEQUINES CD    (perun)
"This is some seriously mysterious mojo, man. Never heard of the band before, which is hardly surprising, since they're apparently from Poland, and I haveonly Smolken from Dead Raven Choir to thank for the chance to grok it at all. Their sound is somewhere in the neighborhood of that smoky country death blues that the Black Heart Procession called their stomping grounds early on, just a few fields down from Current 93 and all the World Serpent bands. They're not too far removed from the Dead Raven Choir in terms of intent, in fact. But then their sound is so lush and ambient, so slow and droning, it calls to mind bands like Maeror Tri, Troum, Flying Saucer Attack, Godspeed You Black Emperor... all those droning soundtrack bands. The cd itself comes with four stiff inserts, all from a sinister medieval painting, with lyrics, notes, etc. on the back, completing a graceful and eerie experience with the appropriate graphics. I greatly approve. This is a brilliant cd, far too complicated and otherworldly to bother with yapping about "why" it is a dark work of genius - just trust me, it is and you want to hear it." (review from dead angel #58) MP3 (75kr/€8)


ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF ACHING/AMALTHEA 7"    (ape must not kill ape)
"amalthea dish up some more quality emo here, not so far removed from yaphet kotto and other beasts of that ilk. the second song starts off all chilled out and like engine down before they went wrong. lovely! these guys should do an lp. only for the sake of aching have a terrible name, and they play frantic emo falling somewhere between catena collapse and la quiete type whilst leaving plenty of room for hand claps."

OPEN CITY LP    (thin wrist)
"it's quite a loaded name to take on, but open city isn't basing itself on italian neorealist film nor on literary journal publications. beautifully packaged in a gatefold, hand silkscreened jacket, the record collects five free improv sessions by two guitarists who slide between droning feedback noise and abrasive strumming feedback noise. it's a wonderful squeal as the duo plays as much against themselves as they do each other. there's something about the murky depths of abstraction that only a properly distorted guitar can achieve. As with most lovingly created and assembled records this is limited to 500 copies." (90kr/€10)


OPEN CITY - L.A WE REVISE YOUR NEGLECT LP    (thin wrist)
"a second official studio offering for open city (after a handful of semi-private releases), l.a. we revise your neglect goes straight to the point, title and music wise. the back of an insert reads: 'embarrassment is your privilege. refuse entertainment'. this trio chooses to perform challenging improvisation. in fact, peter kolovos (guitar), doug Russell (guitar) and andrew maxwell (drums) make it their mission to rock against the clock, beating rhythm to a corpse and shredding melody to pieces. the music seems to be strongly inspired by sonic youth, although stating that doesn't do it justice. yes, the electric guitars are noisy (extremely in 'penitence, that casino witch', an exception), but overall the trio approaches improvisation in a way closer to european free improvisers like derek bailey, keith rowe or (to name a single drummer) roger turner. they provocatively balance clarity of enunciation and textural/drone noise. maxwell's percussives are anything but rock-minded, making strong use of cymbals and precise gestures on the skins. 'dificult braver than music', 17 minutes long, offers a good range of ideas, making a point of dropping one whenever it becomes to comfy. 'engram sepals' plays games with the listener in a succession of false endings. this lp is packaged in an eye-catching sturdy gatefold sleeve and pressed on 180 gram vinyl — a beautiful production in all aspects. 4/5 stars." (90kr/€10)


OPEN CITY - THE BIRTH OF CRUEL LP    (thin wrist)
"a gorgeous record of free sound: through three unsettled pieces, open city breaks down the formalism of the avant garde, noise and free improvisation to reveal one of today's most distinctive and intense group dynamics. the group use a constant flow of deep drone, pointilistic cut ups, rich texture and silence to create alpha music. unrepeatable and unpredictable, aggressively abstract, time-stamped, adaptive, actionist, attentionist, fun. an organic assembly language in an open field, avoiding the trance and repetition of idiomatic pop for sound statement and direct coinage. open city aims for a moment before music, the unsettled pause before a devastating blow. the birth of cruel is a generational x-flare, a sound proposition, a coronal mass ejection of propulsive and audible means. enjoy!" (90kr/€10)


OTESANEK CD    (electric human project)
"right from the exquisite feedback and hellish vocal introduction, you know something doesn't feel quite right. like oil is being pumped into your veins... and you know there is still a long, long way to go before its over. this is the debut of otesanek. the band that will decay all senses until nothing is left of you but a pile of bones. these philadelphians baptize the world with two tracks of gluttonous, overruling doom played slower then the second coming of jesus christ. scattered guitar chords are struck with the force of colliding planets, all while the drums are being beaten rather than played. the duel vocals ring in like the shouts of tortured souls, bellowing from the darkest places anyone could imagine. if you hate earth, boris, khanate and sunn o))), then you will despise otesanek. two tracks, thirty minutes. ex members of puritan & hassan i sabbah."

OUBLIETTE - ITALIAN GORE TAPE    (release the bats!)
"Spliced cassette madness from Georgia, USA. In search of the true audio essence of the golden era of the Italian horror, Oubliette here gives us Italian Gore! Filthy fragments from a range of the more trashy zombie flicks (Burial Ground and Zombi 3, 4, 5, anyone?). You may be to young to have been around in the days of the Video Nasties, banned home videos, Studio S and Strong Uncut VHS releases from Vipco but if you have the slightest interest in the Italian horror genre, you will get tears in your eyes when listening to this! This is all about the spirit of being 14 all over again and the excitement of watching Giovanni Lombardo Radice being drilled in the head in City Of The Living Dead for the first time or dropping your jaw to the ending in Nightmare City, or scoring an uncut copy of Anthropophagous, or trying to figure out what the hell is going on in a foggy VHS-dub of A Lizard In A Womans Skin, or... A true labour of love. Gross, harsh and disgusting. Originally released as a cd-r on Turgid Animal. Previous Oubliette releases out on Hanson, Audiobot, RRR, No Horse Shit etc. Limited to 40."

OUBLIETTE - ISENGARD CD-R    (audiobot)
"Seth returns from his claustrophobic dungeon to build his own iron fortress. Relentless crumbling walls and piercing shots of feedback that cast bloodboil spells on anyone that ventures forth into the realms. Mangled sounds and black poisoned energy generated in Seth's tiny Georgia bedroom. Great forces loom before you... Low end bubblegum and fairly odd twists. Not to be confused with the exceedingly dark Fenriz project. By the time this shimmy disc clocks in. your brain is reduced to the size of a peanut. the only thing left standing the central tower of Orthanc. Packaged in stylish full color fold-out jackets by Zeloot. in an edition of only 80 copies. Classify under: harsh command low-end guerilla noise." (60kr/€6.50)


OVERMARS - AFFLICTION, ENDOCRINE... VERTIGO 2xLP    (alchimia)
"It’s hard to believe OVERMARS once was a side-project to DONEFOR. At the time, DONEFOR was slowly dying before our eyes, and most of us secretly hoped they’d call it quits so that OVERMARS could finally grow genius. Cause Overmars has been one of those “promising bands” since the very beginning. Even at their roughest and less sophisticated. The first handful of shows they played already had this insane magnetic vibe they later mastered. But hey, it’d be way too easy for me to romanticize their story, and tell you a whole bunch of seductive lies about the “unchallenged heydays of the early Overmars” as I was part of the band for a short period of time in 2003. Those of you who met these guys face to face have probably been amazed by the unfathomable gap lying between their everyday good-heartedness and their darker-than-thou sonic barrage. Overmars draws a line that goes from thwarted philanthropy to assumed misanthropy. And I like that. ‘‘Affliction, endocrine... vertigo’’ shows a band with an unshakable will to offer the best of themselves, an all-time generosity they just can’t hide away. A multi-layered record wrong-footing its audience (How many records built on crescendo ? And how many bands to do exactly the opposite ?), an album that will surprise those who were waiting for an increase In greasy violence and who’ll sink their teeth on an amazingly quiet (not you run-of-the-mill “quiet”, rest assured) piece of wax instead. Starting with full-force velocity, ‘‘Affliction, endocrine... vertigo’’ knows no cruising speed and sinks in swamps of confusion from the third track on. Punctuated by five amazing segues (‘‘Destroy all dreamers’’) and tracks broadening their war fields (the goth-like ‘‘Buccolision’’ revealing all the intensity Marion now brings to the band), ‘‘Affliction, endocrine... vertigo’’ is a demanding record. For Overmars as much as for those on the other side of the speakers. Is such an achievement that surprising ? Well, yes. And no. Lotsa hard work and a natural evolution. From their very first record (a split album with DONEFOR released in March of 2002) to their latest (a split album with Japan’s FUGUE, recorded a year later), after so many days and weeks on the road through Europe, Overmars now fully masters a work scheme based on “serene soaking”. No futile hurries, no run after a mandatory first album like most of those young bands lacking in experience who’ll inevitably fail in the end, a will to go beyond the limits any scene or style can set (sharing writings, Arno’s video work, drawings, pictures, etc. on their website or on the DVD coming with the album). ‘‘Affliction, endocrine... vertigo’’ appears as ‘‘vortex-record’’, the epicentre of an experience in creation by a band generously offering their guts on a plate. They’re now yours to embrace (or not)." MP3 (130kr/€14)


PANICSVILLE - STERILE CD    (nihilist)
"A paranoid view of insufferable pain from a hospital bed. Fear never sounded so good, (or hurt so bad). Sterile delivers a heavy dosage of frequency induced hallucinations and nerve shattering waves of electronics. Featuring an exclusive video from the Stabbed in the Face sessions by Chicago underground film-maker, Usama Alshaibi. This is the essential sister album to Imperfection of the Organism (SNSE) packaged in silk screened white vinyl pouches. Are you ready for your shot? This is gonna hurt... Order now!" (70kr/€7.50)


PANICSVILLE - IMPERFECTION OF THE ORGANISM LP    (snse)
"panicsville puts some grimy fingers on primal nerves with their organic and very much alive electronic sounds. imperfection of the organism finds the band in lethal form, in full control of, while continuing to refine, their signature sound. this record slithers and oozes under the needle. fried electrics crackle and sputter forth layers of thick, sticky slabs of sonic butter, simultaneously building to both an ether-soaked beauty and a ravishing repulsiveness." MP3 (70kr/€7.50)


PANICSVILLE - PERVERSE CD    (liquid death/hello pussy)
"panicsville are certainly one of the most notorious noise groups of the late, demanding either full attetion or none at all. forging even deeper into the uncharted territories of the underground music, panicsville (headed by andy ortmann) create a world entirely their own, utilizing a range of electronic devices and their usual level of unparalled hymns of rock n roll. this already sonically destructive duo is aided by the talents of weasel walter (the flying luttenbachers), thymme jones (cheer accident), kevin drumm and mv carbon (metalux) on this album. enhanced cd featuring a new film by the controversial underground filmmaker, usama alshaibi. highly recommended!!"

PARTY OF HELICOPTERS - SPACE AND HOW SWEET IT WAS... 12"    (monotonstudio)
"this is a special release from THE PARTY OF HELICOPTERS. "space... and how sweet it was" is a blend of sinister beauty and pop hooks layered with lush vocal harmonies with keyboards added for good measure. It combines the sweet soul of soaring pop vocals with the dark forces of death metal guitar solos and choppy rhythmic clatter. it is an epic orgy of evil themes and narcodelic beauty! THE PARTY OF HELICOPTERS have always made it a point to combine their individual eclectic and varied tastes to create a hybrid of metal, punk and pop for a sound that is truly original."

I was totally confounded that I had never seen the dude jam... he was SO GOOD that night in oakland.. jamming a ton of homemade synth gear. I guess Daryl's been playing and building synths for YEARS.. So.. I move back to Portland and I keep running into the dude.. EVERYWHERE.. We talk about playing.. then I get this offer to play a show with Richard Ramirez... and I asked Daryl to join me for a duo.. So we got down to it. total electonic zoner style. Edition of 150."

THE PHANTOM LIMBS - RANDOM HYMNS 12"    (hungry eye)
"The Phantom Limbs successfully mined the early San Francisco “no wave” scene, the seminal deathrock scene, and turn of the decade punk to conjure up their own unsettling racket. Having already secured their place in Bay Area music lore through their frenetic live shows and deranged antics, the Phantom Limbs have gained converts throughout the world with their previous two full lengths and their numerous tours. This EP, their last before an undetermined hiatus might very well be the curtain call in their histrionic death-cabaret." (50kr/€5.50)


PHILIP SAMARTZIS - SOFT AND LOUD LP    (plates of sound)
"Deluxe U.S. vinyl version of an obscure Australian CD release by Samartzis. Luxurious quality production all around, #'d edition of 500 copies. 'Dr. Philip Samartzis, a senior lecturer and coordinator of sound at RMIT in Australia, is not a novice to the experimental music scene. He was one of the founding members of the Australian avant-turntable/noise group Gum in the '80s, and has since been composing abstract electronic music, w/ previous releases on Synaesthesia, Dorobo, Staalplaat, and For4Ears. Samartzis' Soft and Loud is a modern day exploration of Japan's culture and identity through the guise of modern day musique concrete. Soft and Loud was conceived in the winter of 1999 in Tokyo, Japan and meticulously completed in Melbourne, Australia in August 2003, using specifically derived field recordings (that Philip had recorded) from Japan that detail the daily existence of many of its people. The digitally altered sounds of the Japanese subway system, electronic bird calls, the mournful calling of a chestnut salesman, to the digital wash of a Japanese stream cohesively offers a sense of serenity, and calmness as well as the loud, busy and chaotic nature of a country that appears often reserved and guarded. We, the listeners, become voyeurs to the country and experience the key characteristics of Japan that defines itself as a country." MP3 (70kr/€7.50)


PHOENIX BODIES - RAISE THE BULLSHIT FLAG LP    (slave union)
"After countless splits and comps, Indiana's Phoenix Bodies have finally graced us with their debut full length recording. As with previous releases, every style under the massive umbrella of "heavy music" is perfectly mashed together to give the listener an experience comparable to bare knuckles pressed against a belt sander. Fans of this band's previous efforts and new fans alike are bound to view this as their best work to date, as well as their most vehement. In an age where too few bands are saying anything worth hearing, this album is more 10 tracks of blistering music; it's also a grand calling out of pretty much the entire human race. Each copy of the LP version includes an 11x17" poster and 2 Bullshit Flag stickers." MP3 (90kr/€9.50)

PHROQ - COLLAPSE CD    (ground fault)
"Collapse is the result of two years of work, based on electronic manipulations of contact microphones and field recordings made in Spain (1998), Japan (2001) and Switzerland (2000-2004). With this work, Francisco Meirino explores the tension between emptiness (the attempts #1 to #4) and fullness (the noise parts). This work constantly swings from silence to noise, from peace to chaos. It shows that music is an energy that can open the soul to the beauty that is beyond music at the edge of sound."

PINK RAZORS - WAITING TO WASH UP CD    (robotic empire)
"Rebuilding pop-punk from the ground up is by no means an easy task, but Richmond, VA's PINK RAZORS have boiled down the genre into its purest elements and improved upon it leaps and bounds. With no song crossing the two-minute mark, each track is packed with memorable melodies over fast, powerhouse rhythms. This all happens so fast you barely know what hit you, but still manage to get the songs firmly stuck inside your head. Sometimes snotty, sometimes dark, yet always up-tempo and immensely catchy, "Waiting to Wash Up" will have you singing along to desperate, cynical, and hopeful songs alike. Fans of the former East Bay and Chicago heyday are likely to rank this up there with current favorites (ala Dillinger Four and Toys That Kill), and appreciate this long overdue, fresh approach to power-chord punk rock."

PLATEAU - 1985-1988 CD-R    (jyrk)
"Uncle JYRK aka Rocket aka Robert Horton has been one of the busiest jammers in the freak scene in the last few years... no small fact especially since the dude just had his 50th birthday! A great, ripe age to drop in on the experimental music world.. Actually.. Robert's been up to tons of trouble for FOREVER.. He's the best.. always stoked and always adventureous.. Since Robert's been more active, he's been going thru his old vaults of recordings and reissuing various things... Plateau is possibly the most important of all his archival releases. Robert had been involved in the whole Subterranean post-punk anarchy mess in this group, The Appliances... This was back when Flipper was just getting going well.. long story short... the appliances broke up, some other things happened and Rocket started working on these compositions with some buddies that were inspired by folks like Lamonte Young and Tony Conrad... So.. these post-punk instrument inventor minimalist freaks got down to some SERIOUS drones in 1985.. this stuff touches on all the classic minimalist recordings and predicts future freak-folkist zone outs.. It's totally mind-blowing that these actions were happening when I was 6.. he's to the UNC! CHEERS! Edition of 150." (60kr/€6.50)


PLEASURE FOREVER - GOODNIGHT 7"    (sub pop)
"The San Francisco trio formerly known as SLAVES - is the musical embodiment of that orgone enigma of human will and desire.

The white man introduced the electric guitar and microphone as well as recording technology. The girls turned in their primitive gear to go analog! Vocal chants for a good harvest. Guitar strums coupled with bass drum dreams to protect oneself from the evil spirits. Backed behind a teepee of protective electronic hum. All is good.

PRURIENT/CARLOS GIFFONI - HEAVY RAIN RETURNS CD    (iDEAL)
"'Heavy Rain Returns' is a truly monumental album. Recorded in Bushwick, New York City - it's an intense trip into harsh noise and electronic sickness. Carlos Giffoni is maybe best known for his great 'Welcome Home' record for Important and his curator skills are infamous through his No Fun Fest in Brooklyn which is the world's most extreme music festival. Prurient is Dominick Fernow who is operating the Hospital Productions label and shop out of a basement in New York. His albums 'Black Vase' and the latest 'Pleasure Ground' for Load Records are both highly recommended and loved. Here we hear two of the US-noise scene's absolutely most important creators together - and man, it's pure energy hitting you hard. Most copies are in the US so hurry to get your copy. The noise is ON!" (90kr/€9.50)

PULSE EMITTER - MOUNTAIN CD-R    (audiobot)
"Pulse Emitter captures natural and electronic phenomena. which interface with a hand built modular synth as a source of control voltage. Sparse synth drone composition that erases all active knowledge of time and space from your mind. Leaving you numb in a bleak void of throbbing pulse grit. Like being frozen into the core of a misty mountain. no heartbeat or emotion. just pure generated waves of emptyness. Mountain was adjusted in strength and frequency to be a viable base defense. Packaged in demented anti-minimal full color fold-out covers by Jelle Crama & Godrapist. in an edition of only 80 copies. Classify under: alien synth psych." (60kr/€6.50)


PYRAMIDS - FOLLOWING THE TRACKS, FORCING MOTION THROUGH PASSES CD    (slave union)
"Epic in nature, the debut from Pyramids blends churning, chord laden bass, pummeling drums, dark guitars and frantic vocals. A whirlwind guide through the dreams we don't care to remember in the morning. Ex-members of A Petal Fallen and The Holy Fucking Spirit. This also includes video footage, and comes in a 3-color chipboard case, made of entirely recycled materials." MP3 (80kr/€8.50)


QUILTS - LIGHT HORN TAPE    (arbor)
"Shimmer shining strips of sound float through the sky. The light horn is calling. Organ sprawls covered in pit-er-pat percussion. This is the kind of music that you create in your head when you are sitting on the park bench and rearranging the memories of the sounds going around you. Except it is better and it is recorded. Earth drones make dreamy lullabies. These dudes have releases coming out all over the place including a split tape with Quintana Roo on Dnt, as well as a recent release on a new incarnation of imvated, cauliflower dreams. Limited to 50 numbered copies with orient smoke dream art on jade tapes." (45kr/€5)


QUINTANA ROO/QUILTS - WHITE BONE SNAKE TAPE    (dnt)
"Two Q-band units panhandle for spirit contact. Quintana Roo unearth another pit of holy bones and Aztec ash, classic "rumbling tombs" style drone-spelunking with post-straight edge summertime Josh Feola guesting on the drum throne. Communal seance zoning. Quilts' "Pink Hotel" rents a room/suite of space heater fuzz fog and falls asleep. Enough muffled murk-moans and endless echo to earn lucrative sponsorship from at least 4 of the 5 major US delay pedal companies. Heavy WARMTH. With fucked-up-and-photocopied covers of burial dirt. Hand-numbered edition of 100." (40kr/€4.50)


RACCOO-OO-OON - IS NIGHT PEOPLE CD    (release the bats!)
"Swirling sax-and-effects-heavy free-form punk from Iowa Citys Raccoo-oo-oon. Is Night People is their first magical recording, 7 organic rituals creating a majestic outlet of neverending energy. Beautiful cascades of manipulated vocals and layers of feedback melting together over sunny explosions of insane drumming. In the vein of Sun City Girls, Animal Collective, Excepter etc. The cd comes in a letterpressed black Arigato Pak with gold ink made by Stumptown Printers and stunning art by Shawn Reed in the band. Recorded and mixed by Steve Wilson, Brad Brandhorst and Raccoo-oo-oon. Originally released as a tape by the band in early 2005, now fully remastered by Pete Swanson (Yellow Swans)."

RADIO BERLIN - THE SELECTION DRONE CD   (ache)
"radio berlin is a four piece band from vancouver, bc, canada. with a sound best described as rhythmic postpunk/new wave with early 'goth' stylings, radio berlin's garnered many welcome comparisons to bands like pornography-era cure, joy division, wire, josef k and siouxsie and the banshees, only backed by the rhythm section one would expect from a band like clikatat ikatowi. containing current members of jerk with a bomb and a luna red and former members of the measure and ex-dead teenager and having played with the likes of the locust, i am spoonbender, the faint, vue and camera obscura, radio berlin rocks out with a hypnotic live show."
