OECD 118        STRATVM TERROR – Pain Implantations           CD Digipak  13,00 

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 before the next eruption,

ripping through your ears jamming them with feedback and beats tearing the mind apart.
Every track has a nerve grating, tympanic membrane agitating attraction, sonically careens off of the interior fortress of the body.

Stratvm Terror is Peter Andersson of Raison d'être, Necrophorus, Bocksholm, Atomine Elektrine etc.

and Tobias Larsson of Ocean Chief.
'Pain Implantations' were originally released in 1998 on Malignant Records as the second CD album release of the band.
This re-release from Old Europa Cafe, totally refurbished from the original master and added with two more songs,

is presented with complete new artwork.
Total disc duration is 77 minutes.

Tracklist:
1. Nerve Short Circuit
2. Collapse
3. Scrambled Eggs In the Fallopian Tube
4. Anal Inhalation
5. Intravenous Pain Injection
6. Awaiting the Slime
7. When a Spermatozoon is Getting Jammed to Death ...
... Against the Intrauterine Device
8. Plasma Erection
9. Auto-Terror
10. Anti-Static Systematic Cloning
11. killing Me
12. Plasma Rejection

OECD 117        K. MEIZTER – Tetraphobia         CD Jewel-Box  12,00

After channelising all his musical energy into Beyond Sensory Experience for the past two years,

K. Meizter finally returns with a new solo exertion.
Spawned during the sinister last months of a northern year, Tetraphobia scans through the kafkaesque layers of human anxiety,

and continues K. Meizter’s distinctive manipulation of sound, melody and pulse.
Following Travelling Light, Dark Matters and the Horologium collaboration Eight Studies in Transition,

K. Meizter’s new release develops even more unsettling atmospheres of reflection and alteration.
With 10 tracks and over an hour of foreboding avant-garde, Tetraphobia is K. Meizter’s most convincing work this far.
Dark and solemn.

Track List:
1. The Process
2. Protoscience
3. Samarkand
4. Tetraphobia
5. The Golden Mean
6. Retroduction
7. K-Shaped
8. Projections
9. Synkemina
10. Introspection
