Second full length. Eight songs of big bang black metal by DOMINIC FERNOW (PRURIENT, COLD CAVE, Hospital Productions) and KRIS KAPKE (ALBERICH, NORTHERN CROSS). Our comrades at Second Layer tell it like it is: “The duo blasts out raw and disgusting primitive black metal, with lots of balance between neck-breaking speed and lurking mid-tempo howl, with even some grind-ish elements for good measure.”

New full length of this groundbreaking Canadian duo! AUN’s previous travels took the duo to space, hell and back. Now home to tackle more earthly concerns ‘Phantom Ghost’ shows AUN at its most complex and determined, but also at its most accessible, while still quite adept to their use of extreme tones. Previous outings heralded as masterpieces of ambient and heavy psychedelic strains, ‘Phantom Ghost’ finds AUN’s considerable stylistic palette, augmented again. Fractured voice and locked dry, immovable, hypnotic rhythms are ethereal and experimental qualities, now find themselves magnified by a sound edging on indie-noise-rock, while also delving deeper into their penchant for pristine and shattered electronics. Drenched in celestial gazy-prog sheen, fuelled by blurry acid drenched dreams, ‘Phantom Ghost’ is AUN at its most otherworldly, but also most grounded and terrestrial. The Phantom and Ghost in focus here, could easily be of the supernatural variety, but are more the result of complex sound wave apparitions during the recording process. Very human in its essence and execution, but also increasingly beautifully machine driven, ‘Phantom Ghost’ is a wide new door opened by the constantly mutating AUN. For fans of : Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, Zoviet France, Troum, Can, Cabaret Voltaire, My Bloody Valentine, Popol Vuh, Chris and Cosey, Boards Of Canada, Eno, Ennio Morricone

Limited edition 10″ Picture disc from SKITLIV, the project of former MAYHEM front man MANIAC.

With a line up that includes SHINING’s NIKLAS KVARFORTH, SKITLIV is a disturbed, and disturbing, blackened doom journey through the mind of this legendary Black Metal vocalist who was one of the original exponents of the genre, and is one of its most recognisable figures.

This picture disc is made extra special not only by the inclusion of “Who Will Deliver Us From Gold and Planets” by CURRENT 93 – an introductory collage destruct that was created at the request of Maniac and is dedicated to him, but also because the artwork that is used for the side containing this track is part of one of Tibet’s own paintings.

Ltd x 777 copies. No repress.

“Ramblack” is the follow up to Deadwood’s successful 2005 album “8 19″ (CSR53CD). Over the past 3 years this Swedish artist has been toiling away, creating a new black ambient / death noise masterpiece and “Ramblack” is the result. Cloaked in a more raw and morbid sound then its predecessor, this album truly changes one’s perspective of audial darkness. This analogue beast of an album layers the tonal prayers of demons and the distorted cries of angels, sickness and depravity. True Death Electronics. The soundtrack to your end. “Ramblack” features guest vocals from Norwegian Black Metal legend Maniac (Skitliv, ex-Mayhem), whose vocal approach on the song ‘Forakt’ shows the full range of his capacity. Truly one of the most sick and twisted pieces of sonic art ever recorded. Enjoy the disease!

To manipulate a recording of the improvised process is to directly dilute spontaneous conception, and thank god for that.
Centering and Displacement was composed in the winter-summer of 2008 in Chicago.
A body of improvised source material was collected, segmented and organized by a simple chance operation. These segments were then orchestrated into a sound program and arranged by order of the strict composed form. At times, the score also regulated post-recorded effects to manipulate the original material. As the material was edited, it was divided into six separate channels (three stereo tracks). Each pair of channels was transferred to a cd and each was played on three cd players simultaneously, creating a simple six-channel sound installation. In 2011, the dense six-channel score was revised and reduced to two channels (one stereo track), which is now the final, preferred version.
The result is a centrifugal record filled with moments of surprise and complexity. Drums, percussion and electronics are at the core, revealing themselves with precision and radiant color. Frank Rosaly has created a piece that stands apart in the field of challenging music.

Limited to 300 copies. Black vinyl. LP includes cd version of the album.

Many of the pieces on side one consist of looped scuzz and drum machine sequences, with bass as the lead instrument—although it never develops too much melodically, it’s an effective tool. Some ambient-ish electro elements are present, showing more subtlety on the first side. Combined with some more postmodern touches like intentionally off-kilter looped samples, the atmosphere is dark and chaotic, but things rarely threaten to boil over—the side flashes some anguished noise, but is actually rather light and contemplative overall.

Limited to 281 copies with handmade covers, Hoor-paar-Kraat’s debut LP An Anagram Hypnotic contains two tracks (side A featuring the title track from ultra limited Najaraga Movements 3” CD and an unreleased track, Sundownings, on side B) filled with field recordings, tape manipulations, droning bass lines, and other unidentifiable noises that create a collage of sounds. Comparable to very little but if an assessment is necessary it would have to be Sunn o))) and Nurse With Wound.

NNA’s second split LP unites two American artists on the cutting edge of experimental electronic music: Brooklyn’s Oneohtrix Point Never and Los Angeles’ Rene Hell. Daniel Lopatin and Jeff Witscher have each been working tirelessly in the US underground for the last several years, releasing progressive, forward-thinking, and highly acclaimed music under a wide variety of guises and manifestations. In 2012, we see them each offering their respective unique visions and interpretations of digital music in the modern world, processing the world around us through the lens of technology and modern sound.
Oneohtrix Point Never brings us “Music For Reliquary House”, which consists of sonic reworkings from the “Reliquary House” audio/visual installation, a collaboration between Lopatin and video artist Nate Boyce. In a series of five pieces, Lopatin delivers a sequence of hallucinatory informatic assaults, a satirical re-envisioning of modernist sculpture. Picking up where 2011′s “Replica” left off, OPN uses digital technology to dissect human speech patterns and timbres almost beyond recognition. Via computer, Lopatin converts pieces of text to human speech, only to dismantle it entirely, surgically reassembling the scraps of frequencies and the shrapnel of pure sound into something new altogether… starkly melodic at times, but altogether harsh and inhuman as a whole.
Rene Hell presents “In 1980 I Was A Blue Square”, a suite of five pieces for piano, synthesizer, and computer. Juxtaposing mid 20th century classical music with chaotic electronic blasts, Witscher creates his own style of contemporary music that is peaceful and violent on top of itself, creating a rift of confusion that sits nicely between more vast, soundscape-like vignettes. Witscher’s previous forays into the worlds of noise and ambient are tastefully apparent here, indicative of an artist who is able to retain a broad array of influences and use them in a way that is both personal and original.

Mastered and cut by Lupo at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin.

Fusty Cunt is proud to announce it’s first LP after 12 years running. A bit of a roll reversal on this one. Skin Graft opens up with its trademark scum atmosphere, yet here there is a much more defined power electronic feel. Through 3 tracks, you begin understanding the deep seeded theme of child neglect. Very slow and passive HNPE. Deterge throws the cut-up noise and overly effected vocals that most are used to out the window for this side long track. Heavy industrial with constant mixing of low and high end sounds. Brings you up to climax then lets you down slowly.

The LP was cut perfectly and is honestly one of the loudest pieces of vinyl I’ve heard. To quote the pressing plant “…this was one of the most challenging cuts we’ve ever had to do. It took a long time to get it right…but we did it.” I can highly appreciate the precision and professionalism. Comes with 2 inserts, one of which is a double-sided, 2-color screen print by Sam Stoxen (Phage Tapes).

First installment in the Ecstatic Jazz Duos series. Multi-part, proggy King Crimson destruction on the A-side and total reed distortion dragged through shards of filth on the flip.
