Improved,
remastered version of the influential 1985 LP (Electro Institut) from
the French legends. Pioneer of Bruitist Music, Vivenza (under its proto
name Glace) formed in 1976 and is undoubtedly the first band of
Industrial music in the most natural area of the foundations and the
decline of heavy industries. "Don't look for any sensitivities, human
ego, idealogies of sex stories: Vivenza is machines". This 2009 edition
is faithful to the original recording and comes with a visual specially
redrafted for the occasion.

Malignant
presents another rising star within the dark ambient scene, this time
in the form of French act Collapsar. With their debut CD, Collapsar
transports the listener on an epic journey deep into the cosmos,
forging a path across a vast, inky void, and steering a course around a
roiling galactic core of hyper-dense stars and black holes. The sound
is epic, expansive, and most of all, HEAVY. There is beauty and
tranquility within these realms, but there is no light - just massive,
pulsating textures coalescing into shimmering drones, rippling sound
waves, and billowing, multi-dimensional layers of powerful dark energy.
“Beyond the Event Horizon” is without question, dark ambient in its
purest form and one of the more genre defining releases of the last
several years. A must for fans of Inade, Lustmord etc. In 6 panel
digipak, with design by eyelyft.
The
third album from Theme (Richard Johnson of Splintered, Stuart Carter
and Jeanne Boyer). On "Valentine (Lost) Forever" Theme often witnesses
barbed yet oblique words cut-up and formed into mantras over a mesh of
cascading drones, textures, blissed-out guitar strums, submerged
tamboura, metallic sheets of electronic frah, occasional drum pounds
and chilling swells 'n' flecks of musique concrete. With an additional
remix by ex-Siouxsie & the Banshees bass player Steven Severin,
this genuine album offers an apocalyptic sound mirage that recalls the
experimental and post industrial works of :Zoviet*France, Throbbing
Gristle and Coil, as well as the occult-like numbness of Current 93,
the bleak avant-electronica of Andrew Liles and the psychedelic drones
furrowed by the group's own previous work. "Valentine (Lost) Forever"
is a definite masterpiece in the ever-evolving legacy of the UK
industrial scene.
De Magia Veterum is the magickal creation of Mories (Gnaw Their Tongues)
which was summoned in the year of 2003. Bearing a few resemblances with
his other musical endeavors, De Magia Veterum represents a far more
chaotic outlet, one that prefers to communicate the grand mysteries
through an utmost violent and mesmerizing medium. "Migdal Bavel" is the
band’s second full-length album: 37 minutes of chaotic, raw, technical,
esoteric, avant-garde Black Metal. Let De Magia Veterum guide you as
you navigate through Samael's seas of madness. Packaged in a custom
made 6-panel deluxe A5 sleeve, with silver ink printed on black
cardboard.
