IRM - Order4 CD, cmi206

IRM has already existed for over 10 years and are recognized as one of the most interesting Industrial bands around. This time Martin Bladh and Erik Jarl are joined by a third band member Mikael Oretoft on bass-guitarr.

This new work by IRM is a deeper delving into the psyche of the self inflictor ? the core of inner regions violently exposed. Comprised by four tracks, each exactly 15 minutes in length we are thrown into a vortex of feedback, cymbaldrones, heavy bass-strumming, nightmarish pianotinkles and irreproachable synthwork. Demanding your attention all the way through ? certainly not an easy listening experience ? describing the course of events is impossible. It is again a mature and intricate work of incisive delicacies and theatrical ambiences. The sense of detail throughout is immense and the editing perfect. The clinical heaviness of earlier works are now transformed into a pure harsh, static soundwave which are most often cut off by another, slower, softer but in ways a more painful and dynamic one. The lyrics here are deeper cuts into personal matters. A man altering between life and death - a calculating and disillusive thinker and recluse who has lost the grip of reality, or perhaps found another? The strife for self-control turned into sick dedication, waging war on himself to receive recognition ? the end comes nearer. Seldom have we heard a strange work like this which turns both lyrics and music into a full whole ? stay away if deeper encounters with the human mind offends.

The creative artwork was made by the renouned Swedish artist Stefan Danielsson, who also made the frontcover artwork for Whitehouse album "Racket"

BLOOD AXIS - Born Again CD

Coming in a super deluxe & stunning foilblocked 3panel ecopak with 24 page booklet.

There will be at least one resurrection on Easter Sunday, 2010, when Blood Axis unveils its latest work, Born Again. The second full-length studio album in the group's twenty-year history, Born Again signals startling developments and a radical maturation. Old vines have been cut back and carefully tended in order to bear strange new fruit. Over the course of the twelve tracks that comprise Born Again, Blood Axis explores an epic yet human universe in which gods are summoned, kingdoms rise, riddles are unlocked, love is lost, and worlds crumble. This is psychedelia in the literal sense: a "mind-manifesting" journey through the collective psyche of its creators.

Born Again weaves a web of potent pleasures. Whereas the earliest Blood Axis music was marked by keyboards and samples, Blood Axis in 2010 is stripped down to an essential core of natural instrumentation, but with force and bombast fully intact. The sonic ingredients on Born Again include electric and acoustic strings (guitar, violin, bass, bouzouki, banjo), melodeon, piano, highland bagpipes and Galician gaita, marching percussion, the mysterious Annabel-a-tron, and Bobby BeauSoleil's growling, prison-vintage guitar eruptions circa 1976. Underpinning the album and propelling much of the music is the traditional Irish drum the bodhr? recorded here with unprecedented power. Moynihan's ominous voice is well matched by Annabel Lee's elfin intonations, just as her violin finds a perfect counterpoint in Robert Ferbrache's protean guitar parts. A selective cabal of guest musicians from Europe and the USA add tasteful embellishments to these deceptively simple arrangements. Shot through by myth and romance, the expressive lyrics on Born Again have their roots in ancient and modern poetry, archaic invocations, and tragic laments. Alongside modern English and German, songs are sung in medieval 10th-century Old English and 13th-century Middle High German. The end result is both unclassifiable and unforgettable: neither folk nor rock, traditional nor avant-garde, modern nor archaic. It is simply Blood Axis.

Born Again was recorded over a span of many years in remote locations ranging from rural Vermont to the catacombs of Absinthe Studios in Denver, Colorado. Engineered and produced by founding Blood Axis member Ferbrache, the dense sonic tapestry of Born Again is simultaneously raw and refined, synergistically more than the sum of its primal parts. Packaged in a beautiful gatefold cover, Born Again includes a 24-page booklet with complete lyrics and translations, striking portraits of the band members, and solemn photographic images from France, Germany, Austria, Portugal, and the USA.

To everything there is season. For those who are cursed, a time to die and to be forgotten. And for the blessed, a time to be born again: to live on, beyond death, in the minds of men.

Now is the time for Blood Axis to be Born Again.

ATRABILIS SUNRISE - Pillgrimage CD

Atrabilis Sunrise Pillgrimage CD version available NOW! 58min of the finest old school, machine-based Acid Death-Industrial. (fuck computers!) Tracklist slightly different than the ultra-limited 46min P.C.M. tape version.

\"hello? god? are you there? it\'s me... \"

all things in life, whether good or bad, can be sold provided they\'re sugarcoated and smell like strawberries, pine trees or flowers; other goods can be sold provided they are applied on properly perforated blotting paper. the blue unicorn will scare you enough to miss out on the chance of a lifetime and bart simpson will turn out to be the savior who rescues the primitives. congratulations! you have just hit rock bottom.

\"i have been taking quite a bit of these drugs lately and i feel

different. i hear voices and they tell me to be humble...\"

atrabilis sunrise\'s \"pillgrimage\" is a story about psychedelics,

religion and unconditional surrender; a possible soundtrack to an

unnamed road movie involving more drugs than \"fear and loathing in las vegas\", more bad trips as in \'easy rider\' and more sportive activities than seen in \'the passion of christ\'.

\"i see them becoming larger in numbers and i must follow the leader... maybe you know him, he says he\'s your son...\"

this songbook counts eleven tracks of some of the best death industrial you will most likely encounter for some time. eleven \'psalms\' writtenb and orchestrated by the frenchman padre p.c. who created atrabilis sunrise after the demise of catharsis. under this pseudonym he released several cdr\'s and one white vinyl 7\" on formosan rec, the predecessor of raubbau.

\"he tells me to find them all...\"

\"pillgrimage\" is an untold tale of the noughties; made of sleepless nights in the country, weird meetings and brought to you by drugs andother kinds of banned cults. for better, for worse. \"pillgrimage\" is the journey towards the unknown through the combined eyes of the children of god and the children of the corn.

CIRCUS JOY - Laetitia CD

Italian cult band in which play 2 former members of AIN SOPH as well as other well known musicians of the Roman underground.

At the time of the last release by Circus Joy ?Improvvisa Azione Paganini", noise was turned into pleasure and sex; in their new work, "Laetitia", there is no pleasure in noise without sorrow , and sorrow takes over...

this CD is not only a sonic tribute to Pop-Art, as its cover clearly shows, or to the noise-psychedelic rock of Velvet Underground (one of the most influential bands for Circus Joy): it's a tribute to the recent and tragic departure of their friend and poet/singer, Letizia.

"Laetitia" displays the two faces of Circus Joy: sensual, sick love ballads on one side and the crazy, electric, rides on the other.

The record has been recorded between 2008 and 2009 at "Spectrelab" and "Trafalgar Studio Roma" , except for the last track "An Eccentric Garden" which has been realised putting together the single parts each of members did on their own, at their own place, then sending them via the internet to the others...

Circus Joy is a group of non-musicians, long time friends who come together to produce noise by experimenting and improvising with their instruments.

Formed in 1984 by Corrado Mancini, the line-up tends to change from release to release, for this album the line-up was completed by Spectre, Mario F.O.B., ClauDEDI and Steve StrolI.

A crazy post-industrial release.

GENOCIDE ORGAN - Leichenlinie CD

20 years have passed since :Leichenlinie: got released the 1st time, and 10 years since it got released the 2nd time as CD accompanied with the :Truth will make you free: album.

And now it shines here as the totally remastered 20 years anniversary edition. Completed with 2 additional tracks recorded around the same time and formerly released on the Monochrome Meditator MC only (SSSM / Japan 1991).

This material stands for one of the most wanted records in this genre for all times.

:Leichenlinie: remains as an outstanding release in the german post industrial music genre. The well-balanced music contains power electronic rhythm based tracks as well as dark drowning ambient pieces with haunting samples. Tracks like Klaus Barbie, Mind Control and Come Orgasm are played on various stations, parties and radios for the last 20 years. The two additional tracks, so far unknown to the majority, are fitting perfectly to the line-up of the early industrial-rhythm driven sound of the band.

The CD comes in a nice spot varnished digipack with the logo debossed on the front cover, similar to : In-Konflikt :.

Genocide Organ got founded in 1985.

:Leichenlinie: compiled G.O. material that got recorded between 1987-1989 at Strebelwerk / Mannheim.

Originally released in 1989 as Tesco 001.

:Leichenlinie: is still an outstanding milestone in europeon "post industrial" music as it let loose new creative energy of a genre which was thought to be dead.

The socio-political criticism, and cultural-terrorist approach is inherent. A document of its time! The opening opus of the bands restless striving for more depth in a shallow reality, in a society that likes to hide the unpleasant and controversial sides of life. The phrase "noli me tangere" is no longer in effect!

TREHA SEKTORI - Sorieh CD

Debut album by this Franch project.

A distressing piece, a universe where breath are cut, where falls are rising.A schizophrenic language for screamed and murmured odes to the end. A unique aproach to ambient sickness, soundscapes for a locked up experience.

"The last ritual has begun".

Real great dark ambient sounds!

CHANGES - Lament CD

From Changes' inception, R. N. Taylor and Nicholas Tesluk have woven bardic tales of gallantry, chivalry and of larger-than-life legendary and mythical heroes. They've sung of new love, love unrequited and love lost. They've written songs painting sonic imagery foretelling a dark apocalyptic future, which later came to pass while currently prophesying a society in the seminal stages of an even darker fate.

With their new album, Lament, they turn their gaze inward, to their own personal apocalypses, stemming from their long marriages ending in dismal dissolution. They tell of their dark, oppressive inner-world that sought to drive them beyond the brink of despair. Only by being able to immerse themselves in their art and create works expressing these sorrows would they be able to maintain their sanity. Lament reaches out to all who've had their lives disrupted by modern societal partners going through mid-life crises, becoming antagonistic strangers to their families overnight.

The song entitled "The Invisible Man" tells a tale based on H. G. Wells' novel with a personal twist. In their song "Emily", the historical figure of poetess Emily Dickinson comes to life. The "Mountains of Sorrow (Remix)", is an instrumental song enhanced by the deft arrangement, musicians and singers of Der Blutharsch with a voice-over by R. N. Taylor of his heart-rending lyric poetry.

Also included, new versions of three of Changes' earlier works; "The Saddest Thing", "Sweet Eve" and "Memorabilia" as these songs merged well with the album's concept. Lament is sixty-four minutes in length with thirteen tracks. Comes in nice Digipak with a sixteen page liner booklet.
