NORTHAUNTHorizons Enhanced CD.
RU: Вышел в свет новый альбом замечательного минималистично-эмбиентного проекта из Норвегии NORTHAUNT. О группе мы писали в одном из своих номеров. На диске с альбомом можно найти и видеоклип.
EN: 3rd full lenght album from one of Norway's most renowned Ambient Atmospheric act. Horizons is a collection of 7 long ambient landscapes, lonely sceneries on the verge of night, places we long for, places we have been, sanctuaries from mankind, devoid of human elements. This is desolation made audible, carefully constructed and layered with deep drones, melancholic tonalities and outdoor field recordings which makes this Northaunt's most haunting release so far.
Includes a bonus Video file with an alternate version of the track The Wilderness.

THE MERLONS (OF NEHEMIA)Water Naked Nature /Salamander CD
Новый релиз лейбла включает в себя два альбома известной немецкой группы на одном диске.
Small Voices:
NOCTURNAL EMISSIONSNightscapes LP
EN: Nightscapes is probably one of the purest and most refined record made by Mr. Nigel Ayers as NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS. First of all we have to consider that N.E. is an ultra vicennial project which can challeng the test of time without any trouble. And something of the past remains playing this brand new album. In these seven suites (about fourthytwo minutes) we found sacred atavistic rituals, celtic resonances and natural hypnotic mantras, which are bringing the listener through an aural journey, till to the roots of Sound.
The first part of the album can be compared to his masterpiece STONEFACE and SPIRITFLESH, which are more ethereal, atmospherical with beautiful natural sounds... The second part is more ritual and hypnotic with sacral atmospheres..., and it would be compared to N.E. album like BLASPHEMOUS RUMOURS and CATHEDRAL.
Beast Of Prey:
ATUMAgorafobia
EN: The first album of the Polish dark ambient "Agorafobia" project - ATUM is a record that is as cold as ice. Dark and cool sounds are inspired by dead and huge space. The cover includes a beautiful poem by A. Mickewicz called "By the huge and clean water".
Limited edition 255 copies.
The unconventional triangular cover-21x21x30cm is folded in two with two holes through which a black rubber band connects the entire cover. Inside there is a cardboard strap thet keeps the record from moving inside the box. The edition is hand-numbered and includes 255 profesionally made CDR's.
REUE UM REUE:
HIS DIVINE GRACELE GRAND SECRET CD in 3-panel-digipak lim. edition of 500 copies
EN: Inspired by the works of the Traditionalists and the lives and deaths of Sekens Murdock and Leontin V. Abilgaard, Moonchild Erikis fourth CD album Le Grand Secret (The Great Secret) takes the shape of a metaphysical reflection on the deceptions of human language, in which Murdock and Abilgaard saw the main cause for the world of confusion we live in.
Musically more accessible than Eurydice or Reverse Aleph, this very diverse new opus is the worthy successor of Die Schlangenkonigin, hovering from emotional soundscapes and spacey dub rhythms into gloomy, awe-inspiring drones with even noisy elements. An initiation through pure sound.

RU: ЛОКИ переиздала на компакт-диске альбом Первого Закона, который не так давно выходил на виниле и CD. Ничего нового, просто другой формат. Интервью с группой и рецензию на сам альбом читайте в новом номере Стигматы.
EN: First released as limited CD/12inch set we can now offer the CD only as well as midprice release! Beyond IO casts a large shade and proves once more the inimitable profile of this artist.

SEVERIN BESTOMBES Vom Horse Gore Club (J.Weber's solo project) Auszug und Abgesang
12" vinyl GLOW IN THE DARK !
Limited hand numbered edition of 333 copies : 110 copies in Blue vinyl & 223 copies in Green vinyl. Silk-screened plastic sleeve.
RU: Еще один "подарок" от дядьки Вебера, который из Нового Света. И снова богатым дуракам предлагают лимитированный винил по космической цене. Уверен, снова втюхают какой-нибудь отстой, который стал уже нормой для веберовских винилов. Да, забыл сказать, это это хитронасаженный винил - он светится в темноте.
EN: Severin Bestombes is said to be J. W. Eber who is said to be J. Weber, who the world claims to be NOVY SVET, singer and brain appendix of MUSHROOM'S PATIENCE and god knows what else. might be true....well, seems to be true. And what's truth on diplomacy's smooth grounds? Was this guy ever known for being outstanding diplomatic? Definitely not...neither is this album. Bad memories melted into two long (each one LP-side long) tracks, that have their roots growing out of the sixties avantgarde's ass. In the end it is just fuckin' beau.
RU: Альбом DEATH IN JUNERose Clouds Of Holocaust был внесен в офоициальный немецкий "Список запрещенных к распространению на территории Германии". Владельцы TESCO Joachim Kohl и Klaus Hilger подали в суд на правительственное агентство, принявшее это решение. В данный момент Rose Clouds Of Holocaust - единственный "наш" альбом, попавший в упомянутый список, но, как известно, аппетит приходит во время еды. Кто знает, что случиться дальше.
Даглас Пирс из DEATH IN JUNE обратился ко всем музыкантам с призывом помочь TESCO, потому что суд потребует как минимум 10000 евро. Он предложил устроить фестиваль, на котором бы сыграли все команды, возмущенные действиями немецких властей. Причем, он готов выступить на фестивале сам, хотя до этого и принял решение больше не устраивать концертов. Посмотрим, что получится... хотелось бы надеяться, что неофолкеры не сведут все это к банальному трепу про права человека.
EN: Here is a note from Douglas P.:
"With the recent addition of the Death In June album "Rose Clouds Of Holocaust" to the German government's so-called Index of censored/banned 'forbidden fruit' comes a much greater threat.
I have been told that Joachim Kohl and Klaus Hilger of Tesco Organisation Germany, the manufacturer and distributor of this title, have initiated legal action against this decision. Although at present this act of censorship only involves Death In June and one album by my group this, as anyone involved in this musical genre should be aware, could prove to be only the very tip of the iceberg. If this ban succeeds and continues what other works and what other groups from the Neo-Folk/Post Industrial/whatever you wish to label it 'scene' will be next;
DER BLUTHARSCH, :OF THE WAND AND THE MOON:, ORPLID, BLOOD AXIS, WESTWIND, FORSETI, SOL INVICTUS, DIES NATALIS, HERR, WERKRAUM, SONNE HAGEL, DARKWOOD, OSTARA, FIRE+ICE,..........?
The list could go on and on and possibly will if some few people have their way in restricting freedom of expression in Europa. This is not an isolated banning of a show in one city caused by a threatening telephone call, or a group of violent street people hanging around a club or a politician desperate for some votes. This ban is a national one courtesy of a European national government agency who have been maliciously influenced.
These are indeed "Strange Days for YOU, Me and Germany!"
I am not directly involved in the actual day to day legal proceedings in Germany but Joachim Kohl and Klaus Hilger have been effectively called to task and are serving on the front line - for all concerned!
Although I am offering moral support and support in terms of legal statements my financial support is also required and at this first, extremely vital stage of appeal the costs could run as high as 10,000 EUROS.
Eventual costs could be higher.
It is with not only this in mind but, also a Greater Calling for a Demonstration of Solidarity that I call to those out there who have proven capabilities and experience that a Fighting Fund Festival should be arranged and feature groups from this genre/artfield that are willing to waive their fees so ticket sales, after costs, would be donated to this cause. The Festival should naturally take place in Germany and I will come out of my recent retirement from live work to also perform for this cause.
Will the Sons Of Europe answer this call to arms - even if their only weapons could be an acoustic guitar and some drum sticks?
Or, after all these years will "Festivals End - As Festivals Must"?
Heilige Kampf!"
ARK Records presents:
CORDE OBLIQUERespiri CD
RU: Итальянский лейбл ARK Records, известный своими релизами ARGINE и книгой про ATARAXIA, выпустил еще один интересный альбом. CORDE OBLIQUE - проект дядьки по имени Riccardo Prencipe из LUPERCALIA. На Respiri участвует целый сонм известных личностей: Catarina Raposo из DWELLING, Alessandra Santovito из HEXPEROS (ex-GOTHICA), Corrado Videtta из ARGINE. В общем, должно быть интересно.
EN: Ark records presents the new folk-ethereal-ethnic album from the guitarist composer Riccardo Prencipe, already mind of the LUPERCALIA project. CORDE OBLIQUE is the name that Riccardo gave to the "equipe of sound artists'" that collaborated to this new album. A precious musical chapter, a resonant journey that takes us from little rainy harbours to distant valleys. From the ancient town of Assisi to the beauty of Paris, from the myth of Miseno to the ancient Caserta's splendours. Here is the list of musicians who take part in the album:
Riccardo Prencipe: composer, ensemble's mind, plays all classic guitar's lines, percussions, synths, working on the arrangements and lyrics;
Caterina Pontrandolfo (chant, soprano, spoken voice): her vocal style is incredibly versatile, she manages to interpret both ethnic songs and lines more close to ancient music, she is working on a traditional musical project. She collaborated with the composer Carlo Faiello;
Catarina Raposo - DWELLING's voice (Portugal), she sings a music really close to the portuguese fado, with a warmer and more ancient sound. Portuguese language gives to the last track of this album ("Winds Of Fortune", inspired by the ancient town of caserta) a neverending magnetism;
Alessandra Santovito - mind and voice of the HEXPEROS project (ex-GOTHICA), her vocal sound is very delicate and melancholy. Her vocal lines are like ancient sound paintings;
Alfredo Notarloberti - well-known among the fans of the folk-gothic italian scene, and not only. Alfredo gives to this album a touch of melancholy thanks to his unique sound: warm and visionary;
Corrado Videtta - mind and voice of the ARGINE, famous italian band. His vocal style well fits both in performing and singing;
Luigi Rubino - ASHRAM's pianist, other well known italian band, works on one of the finest instrumental tracks of the album, inspired by Paris;
Francesco Villani - talented pianist, son of Art (Virgilio Villani), working in lots of musical contests, above all in jazz, for this collaboration he returns to his beginnings as classic musician;
Francesco Perreca - talented clarinettist, already working in folk popular music.
Cold Meat Industry presents:
SKIN AREAJournal Noir/ Litihum Path DCD
RU: Наконец-то вышел так давно заявленный альбом SKIN AREAJournal Noir/ Litihum Path. Проект состоит из дух известных шведов - Мартина Бладха из IRM и Магнуса Линда. Альбом двухдисковый. Отзывы - самые восторженные.
EN: Talk about being open-minded and actually being it is a virtue. The two gentlemen Martin Bladh (from IRM) and Magnus Lindh, set out on a journey to blow up the everyday expectations of common industrial music and we must say they really surpassed themselves. Years in the making, this experimental set of tracks presented as a double CD should be seen as two different works. Blending raging noise, ritualistic, flowing ambiences, shimmering guitar drones, intelligent beats, strangely structured bass-lines, hypnotic percussion, surreal and psychotic vocals as an instrument. Sublimely paying homage to golden creation, it never offers what you expect. Should you be the LEAST interested in something out of the ordinary and got the shakes for drastic changes, fast turns and full spectrum visions, look no further, you've got it right here! Might be chilly outside, but this certainly gives your body both physical warmth and mental discomfort.
Featuring vocal contributions from Carl Abrahamsson and Ann-Marie Thim and several other guest appearances.
BEYOND SENSORY EXPERIENCEThe dull routine of existence digi-CD
RU: BEYOND SENSORY EXPERIENCE - шведский дуэт, в которм участвует один из MZ.412 - Дракон. Дуэт уже успел выпустить несколько довольно интересных эмбиентных альбомов. Поэтому вести о новой работе шведов - добрые. Ждем.
EN: On The Dull Routine of Existence, the Swedish duo BEYOND SENSORY EXPERIENCE find themselves carefully scrutinising the conventions of everyday life applying an impressive new take on their characteristic experimental dark ambient. This time delivering dark, complexly melodic and rhythmic waves of sound that penetrates mind and body. In short, this is BSE at their very best.
Beyond Sensory Experience was formed in Uppsala, Sweden in 2001 by Drakhon and K. Meizter. The Dull Routine of Existence is their second release on Cold Meat Industry, after starting their journey with four albums on the Italian label Old Europa Cafe. L.White presents:
HALTHANCollapse In Progress 3“ mini CDR lim. 200 / special package
EN: A new power electronics artist from Finland with his brand new work on L.White Records / 4 catchy power electronics tracks with tortured voices and a sound alike CONTROL.
FIRE IN THE HEADKill From The Inside 3“ mini CDR lim. 200 / special package
EN: FIRE IN THE HEAD whets the blade for this L. White release with 5 tracks of unrelenting, razor sharp power electronics and dark, harsh noise. This is some of F/I/T/H\'s most vicious work yet.
SOFAShitloads Of Fuck All 3“ mini CDR lim. 200 / special package
EN: “Adopt this theory and things might get better; they may not!” The debut release from S.O.F.A. is really their paradoxical manifesto. This cell of musicians arose from the fallout of a string of British punk bands. Disillusioned with the direction that punk was taking, they decided to strip back music to raw noise and expression of anger. Putting aside conventional instruments, and using vacuum cleaners, shouts, theremin, synths and industrial samples; S.O.F.A. delivers.
This release kicks ass, if you like the funny Whitehouse style!

GJOLLWay Through Zero CD
RU: Новый подписант Ант-зена. Группа, как я понял, исландская. Дуэт. Один из музыкантов параллельно играет в black metal команде. Обещают нечто абсолютно неординарное, руническо-викинговское, нордическо-даркэмбиентное. Музыканты говорят, что "их альбом посвящается тем индивидуалам, которые жгут флаги наций."
EN: GJOLL: "Way Through Zero is dedicated to individuals who burn the flags of Nations." GJOLL are two individuals, Johann Eiriksson (member of the musical projects REPTILICUS and PRODUCT 8) and writer/vocalist Sigurdur Hardarson (member of the black metal band FORGARDUR HELVITIS). Way Through Zero is their initial release.
Within the first minute you will be haunted by the story's musical visualization. Each of the five parts stands for itself, showing the evolution of the man's mental state: from depressed to aggressive and then finally released. Various astounding sounds are found within its isolated shell - pulsing sub-basses, synth layers over a driving rhythmic sequence, noise drones, ambience with high frequency sonic attacks and silent melodic phrases. If we should dare a comparison then the scandinavian dark industrial sound isn't that far from the 'Way Through Zero'. An important fact about the album's concept: this story happens in the present. Moralists, advertisements and politicians are mentioned by GJOLL as oppressors; while today's western consumer society is the cause of anger and hate. Besides the mythic 'Nostalgia', the pictures of nordic rune stones included in the plain, beautiful artwork are part of GJOLL 's self-conception: "These stones carry memories of the past and all our digital creations will never last that long. We will be a gap in history. We don?t have any romantic visions of life having been very nice in the viking times, when the runestones were made, but back to those basics is where we might be going." (GJOLL)
BLACK LUNGConcrete Octopus 12"LP
RU: Вышел новый винил одного из главных "крутанов" Ант-зена Дэвида Труссела. На виниле представлены 2 ремикса треков с The Coming Dark Age и три неизданных вещи. Обещают что-то танцевальное.
EN: First came Karmageddon, then The Coming Dark Age - together with Concrete Octopus David Thrussell serves a fine CD/vinyl-sandwich. 2 tracks on this LP are featured on The Coming Dark Age; however, the two Concrete Octopus remixes and three new unreleased tracks will keep you dancing & thinking - after all, that's what black lung stands for. The listener will find sir real's distorted big beats, hecq's sound wizardry, Drilling basses and the final Fissure Of Baal collage.
SYNAPSCAPE · ASCHEScenes From A Galton's Walk CD
RU: Не смотря на то, что буквально пару месяцев назад SYNAPSCAPE издали отменный альбом The Act!, у них выходит новая пластинка, вернее, совместный релиз с ASCHE, еще одним восхитительным проектом с Ант-зен. Думаю, стоит ждать чего-то зверского. Вернее, уже жду.
EN: The Act! was just finished, but still had more. Seven new tracks where T.Kniep and Philipp Munch keep the beat straight, the vocals distorted, and the pace fast; however, they let the dancers catch their breath with 'Karambolage' and 'Situation Eight'. After three years, several compilation appearances and re-releases of older material on CD-r there is a new sign of life from more distortion, more beats, more disturbing voices, more vocals and more names: THIS MORN' OMINA collaborated with Andreas Schramm on Petunia, which was re-edited by MOCTAN on Falling To The Ground. Rhythmic rage meets droning.
DER BLUTHARSCH
RU: Уж и не знаю, как все это воспринимать, но Альбин Юлиус на днях объявил, что предстоящий тур рок-группы DER BLUTHARSCH… прощальный и последний! У нас, правда, Кабзон тоже лет так пять попрощался со зрителями, но его хрен со сцены сгонишь… но на всякий случай, имейте в виду… чтоб не было потом мучительно больно…
EN: Note from Albin: "Yes - for those who need it histrionic - indeed - it now should be official - this tour is the "farewell" tour....take it, or leave it...but never complain you missed it!"

FROZEN FACES :: TRAUR ZOT :: CON-DOM :: FROZEN FACES :: DEUTSCH NEPAL :: HAZARD :: JANITOR :: THE GREY WOLVES :: TRAUR ZOT :: WEJDAS
RU: Наш литовский камерад Лашиша издал, наконец, сборник, посвященный своему замечательному фестивалю NORDIC AUDIO MODERN. На сборнике под очень литовским названием Зачистка собраны треки команд, принимавших участие в майском фестивале 2005 года. Безусловно, сборник посвящается самым безбашенным музыкальным фанатам - здесь только powerelectronics!
EN: The release dedicated to the second festival of industrial music – NORDIC AUDIO MODERN which took place in Vilnius on 7 May 2005. Compilation consists of tracks never published, remixed or performed by the world’s famous guests of the festival – CON-DOM, THE GREY WOLVES, DEUTSCH NEPAL, FROZEN FACES, HAZARD, JANITOR, TRAUR ZOT, WEJDAS. In the slang of Russian military task-force, “Zachystka” carries the meaning of purging the certain territory of everything that moves and breathes. Shortly speaking – destruction. Many of industrial-minded people who had been attended the second NORDIC AUDIO MODERN festival stated that it was one of the most tremendous acts of brain defragmentation through their whole life. This CD may be considered the odd memento of that unforgettable night. Zachystka !!!

EN: Clausthome is another project of the Latvian band Claustrum known for their great release on Old Europa Cafe. “Radiophare” brings the listener first class radio-noise in a vein of Bad Sector, Arecibo or SETI/Lagowski. This material was gathered during two years (under project research named Clausthome) using different ways of radio waves scanning, data gathered by radio telescopes and archives of universe research data servers. It was a sound analysis experiment, where material and after-processing of both Earth and cosmic authentic static radiation were used, applying different sound alteration programs and sampling methods, as well as sound synthesis creating music environment. It is a process
of translation and transformation that leads towards awareness of that potential environment, which can be created using the gathered material. CD comes in a silver-black digisleeve with an insert and is limited to 500 copies.
Stigmata recommends this release.

KARNNOSUndercurrents and lost Horizons CD
EN: Finally, the 4th record of Karnnos is out. Undercurrents and lost horizons it's the natural continuation of Dun Scaith, with varied folk songs and minimalistic dark-ambient soundscapes, trying to be a journey through the geography of Celtic sacred symbols, like the burial mound, the well, the stone, the oak, the forests... It has a straight connection with the traditional symbolism of water/death/night as the idea of wandering through the otherworld can only be conceived as a ritual death, the passage to another state of being, of consciousness.
