IV presents the listener with a record of greater complexity, but just as much power to evoke as the more soundtrack-focussed work. Take ‘Paratrooper’, for instance. Its airborne cavalry pour forth what seems to be glowering and gutteral chant. At this, atonal guitars slash and swipe and a heavily processed drum sound pushes and hisses, piston-like. Somewhere, innocent bells try to ring out before being instantly suppressed - this is an album that feels heavy, dystopian. KTL's IV sees Sunn O)))’s Stephen O’Malley and electronic artist Peter Rehberg team up with Jim O’Rourke on production duties for what is being described as their first studio album that exists without reference to accompanying visual stimuli.

The second full-length from this genre-defying duo is a somber and richly-detailed work that constructs a dystopic environment where the ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ are inseparable from electricities, radioactivities and the detritus of military-industrial technologies and materials. Through micro-recordings of metallic objects and resonances, field recordings, and raw filter-bank improvisations, Aden Evens and Ian Ilavsky (Sofa, Silver Mt. Zion) constructed a sonic landscape of polluted signal sources, weaving tentative, provisional signs of humanism into the mix by way of piano, organ and drums.
LP is pressed on 180g audiophile vinyl and comes in a thick printed jacket with credits insert.

This record has been pressed on 140 gr black vinyl with black label and black inner sleeve and comes in a deluxe silver silkscreen on black cardboard sleeve with an original picture, limited to 199 copies w/insert.

Originally released as limited CDR in 2013 on Oppressive Resistance Recordings, Cipher Productions have seen fit to reissue this on vinyl with all new artwork and 3 lengthy remixes appended for good measure. Thematically the album functions as a direct homage to to Lars Von Trier’s film ‘Antichrist’ (….or perhaps can be considered an alternate soundtrack of sorts?), and certainly manages to capture the mood of mental anguish and emotional desolation of the film. Sonically speaking this music found herein is far removed from what might be typically expected from either project, where ‘Nature Is Satan’s Church’ features industrial orientated drones and minimalist dark ambient soundscapes (…which then verges on the isolationist ambient side of things at times). In then tying back to its inspiration source, this minimalism has replicated and expanded upon the the harrowing and starkly minimalist sound design (…which is only fleetingly employed within ‘Antichrist’), while each of the 6 album track titles specifically replicate each of the chapter titles of the film.

The debut full-length by Emaciator (Jon Borges of Pedestrian Deposit, Monorail Trespassing), Reflection was recorded in the spring of 2007 and represents 'second phase' of Emaciator's music. Situated both historically and aesthetically between the dirty, depressive gutter pulse of the early cassette releases and the cleaner, blissful guitar shimmer of his newer material, these two pieces of vinyl bridge the gap with ghostly synth-based melodies that drift over a churning urban landscape of gritty static. Conceived of and composed as a complete artistic statement, the sides follow a narrative of deceit and betrayal, bookended by two halves of one musical idea; sides A and D are mirror images of each other, giving the title of the album its double meaning. Emotional and intensely personal, Reflection finds the Emaciator project at its most despairing, positioning aching melodic beauty in a context of bleak drone decay to suggest a kind of rock-bottom hopelessness. This is music for wallowing.

Vegas Fountain is the 2015 full length album from Copenhagen based industrial duo Damien Dubrovnik (aka Posh Isolation founders Loke Rahbek and Christian Stadsgaard). Since 2013’s ‘First Burning Attraction’ LP, Rahbek and Stadsgaard have continued to be consistently busy as label bosses and performing artists, performing worldwide and building a reputation for their fierce and powerful live show. It was during this time as well that the duo honed their craft in the studio and found a working rhythm where their live performance fed into the studio work and vice versa. Using this process to feed off the springboard of Rahbek’s words and imagery, it not only helped shape a stronger state of equilibrium in this project but also allowed the duo to challenge themselves, both musically and emotionally, exploring concepts like relations, performance, sexuality and their breaking points. This is possibly Damien Dubrovnik’s strongest work to date.

Coherent Abstractions quickly sets a bleak tone, as "Virtuality Continuum" opens with what sounds like a possessed dentist drill. The album's entire first half is steeped in dread, although the Drexciyan flourishes of "Arrival Into Uncharted Territory" and the twinkling IDM touches in "Phenomenalist" prove Mitchell isn't entirely indebted to the dark side. Nevertheless, those seeking punishment will hit pay dirt in "Conjectured State"'s ominous plod and the digital overload of "Nearing Obliteration," which includes a sort of monologue from Mitchell. It's followed by the only other vocal number, the churning "Bound & Broken," whose guest appearance by Janina is both seductive and menacing.

Limited Edition (500 copies), Experimental, Noise, Psychedelic, Power Electronics, Loops, Aaron Dilloway, Jason Lescaleet; 10" Vinyl EP
Oh man, It’s one of those releases that may well be lost to the sands of time, were it not for some keener-eared folk who recognise its absolute brilliance, so thank f**k for Amethyst Sunset because this is a real doozy, featuring Dilloway at the full width of his tape loop-morphing powers. As with any Dilloway performance or recording - which are almost the same thing, using the same methods of production - you never quite know what will happen, always retaining the ability to start in one place and end up somewhere totally different, yet never quite revealing how we got there. In this instance he starts out by grinding a spare vocal loop until it evaporates into the lushest ambient harmonic swell, and proceeds to squeeze that loop until it’s aching, swooning across the stereo field. And just as the loop begins to open out, he extrudes into a sludgy black metal riff, dragging us out by the roadside and leaving the loop to bake in the sun by the side’s end. Flipside, the trip only gets darker, sending everything down into a low register blur bubbling up fetid gases and drone clusters before sousing us in piercing, coruscating high end stress waves. It unfurls itself with such unique timing and haptic sensitivity that the only apt analogy is with a waking nightmare or the soundtrack to a severely warped video nasty. This is just so damn good....
Industrial, Electronic, Techno, Beats, Experimental, EBM, Ambient, Noise; Limited Edition Purple/Black Vinyl 10" EP
Straight out of the wet and hot city of Houston, //TENSE// delivers a great follow-up to the Memory album with this 6 tracks EP. Released on vinyl for the first time (the EP was originally out on the hype label Disaro as a limited CDr), Consume EP presents a new angle to the hard hitting EBM tracks the band has already released. The sound is cleaner and sharper. It mixes hard beats EBM style with more ethereal and atmospheric ambience of the shoegaze bands of the early 90s. Think Ministry jamming with Slowdive and produced by Salem with the help of DJ Pierre! Limited to 300 copies on colored vinyl on a 10" including a download coupon.
