John Twells of FACT wrote :
“The doomy, distorted grind of Godflesh and Jesu is certainly still present, but woven into a wheezing 4/4 template that doesn’t sound a million miles from Andy Stott’s patented ‘knackered house’ or a Surgeon record on the wrong speed being played through a broken car stereo.”
Writing for The Quietus, Tristan Bath said :
“So frank and brutal are the whiteknuckled grooves and aggression on Rise Above it’s tougher than ever to imagine where Broadrick will go next.”
Resident Advisor reviewer Justin Farrar wrote :
“It’s a rare musician who could make music this bleak sound utterly engrossing.”
Ben Hudgins of Heathen Harvest called Rise Above “unadulterated machine music that’s been crafted by a master engineer.”

Label Description:
COINCIDING WITH THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF GODKILLER’S FINAL FULL-LENGTH ALBUM OF DARK METAL WITH INDUSTRIAL & ELECTRONIC ELEMENTS.
Formed in 1993 and hailing from Monaco, Godkiller was the vision of multi-instrumentalist & sole founding member, Duke Satanaël, who between 1996 and 2000 released an EP and 2 studio albums under the Godkiller name, commencing with the black metal cult classic debut ‘The Rebirth of the Middle Ages’.
Though initially more a death metal inspired act in the formative years, Godkiller quickly developed into a project fully engulfed in the spirit of 1990s black metal, bringing to mind acts like Emperor and Satyricon for the implementation of such strong atmospherics, though on later releases Godkiller incorporated more industrial and electronic elements into the compositions as part of its creative evolution.
‘Deliverance’ was Godkiller’s second studio album, and final release before the project was laid to rest, and ventured into a more electronic and industrially metallic direction for what could be considered a more contemporary and expressive take on Godkiller’s established brand of darkness.

Label Description:
Ø is Mika Vainios’s longest lasting pseudonym. Vainio is best known as the other half of minimalist electronic group Pan Sonic. The first Ø-album was released back in 1994 on Sähkö Recordings, before Pan Sonic’s recording career began. As with Pan Sonic, extremely minimalistic expression is the most distinctive feature in Ø’s music. As Ø Vainio has often created more atmospheric and abstract pieces than with Pan Sonic. Kantamoinen is a step into a new direction, from abstract to concrete. It is more romantic than his earlier albums and also more personal. Vainio doesn’t want to think of Kantamoinen as a concept album, but some of the tracks are inspired by Vainio’s childhood memories. The summery photo on the album cover is of Vainio’s grandmother’s house in Artjärvi, Southern Finland.

Label Description:
CONTAGIOUS ORGASM, the brainchild of hiroshi hashimoto from nagoya, japan, stands as a bold exploration of experimental sound and ambient noise. his compositions are a captivating blend of swirling psychedelia, crude samples, abandoned rhythms, and post-industrial noise, all woven into a seamless tapestry of ambient and concrete elements. this is music that demands active engagement, rewarding the listener with a hypnotic, immersive experience that is both inviting and disconcerting.
each composition is a rich vignette, balancing noise-soaked textures with exotic percussion, and gradually winding down into dreamlike interludes. CONTAGIOUS ORGASM’s work draws listeners into its nebulous darkness, offering a space for introspection, tension, and revelation. turn off the lights and let yourself be carried by this multifaceted, elegant journey through intimacy, alienation, and the blurred boundaries of perception and reality.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, time softened and blurred. each room held a fragment of feeling – a flicker of mood, a whisper asking thirsty?, and somewhere, a reflection of longing beneath the moon under water. shadows stretched gently, revealing a soft sensitivity in everything touched, a quiet ache threading through silence. reality wavered in the glass of an inverted mirror, showing not what was, but what might have been. then came the return – subtle, weightless, yet undeniable. beneath a suspended ceiling, where thoughts drifted like dust in filtered light, he understood: some truths only reveal themselves in silence, and only BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

Label Description:
Two years after releasing the acclaimed Crash Recoil, Anthony Child aka Surgeon returns to Tresor with new LP, Shell~Wave. Retaining the minimal equipment list and studio-version-of-live-show-sets approach of the previous album in order to focus on the work itself, Shell~Wave is a deeply personal document of both where Surgeon is and has been, converging three decades of experience with a continued curiosity in the untested.
“To make this project, I had to dig really deep in terms of what my relationship was to techno; I’ve been involved with it for a really long time and there’s a lot about it I feel dislocated from, so I had to really think hard about what techno is to me. I often get asked “what is techno to you?” but I can’t answer that with words; this album is the answer.”
From the complex, twisting track Infinite Eye to the caustic Soul Fire, the eight tracks that make up the body of the album are single-take explorations of the vast, hard yet minimal techno Child is synonymous with.
Neatly dividing the record in two, the emotional centre of the record comes in the form of Dying, a vibrating, beatless piece that with a mantra-like vocal loop steeped in reverberating effects.
Further echoes of dub production appear throughout the record as tracks like Divine Shadow, and Empty Cloud have an almost ever-present mist of reverberation, driven by the appearance of a new delay unit in the equipment list; while much of the philosophy of Crash Recoil’s creation is present, the process and the instruments have changed as Child again switches up his approach to studio work.
This insistence on trying novel techniques doesn’t preclude returning to old ones, as this use of modern digital machines with live, hands-on takes that are as inspired by 60s producer Joe Meek and 70s reggae as they are by this year’s synthesiser expos.
“For me, it’s an interesting experience returning to old techniques again after 30 years. [I’m] always exploring and finding myself back at the beginning. Connecting the present with the past.”
This philosophy of ‘time travel’ is inherent to the music itself as the synchronised loops repeat while the delay and effects branch out, forming unique eddies; distinct quantum moments within the circular whole; the future leaking through the spaces between the sounds. All of the concepts on the album are perfectly communicated through the painting by Taiwanese artist Jazz Szu-Ying Chen which suggests the movement of water, sound waves, and the chitinous shells of sea creatures.

Label Description:
Kali Malone and Drew McDowall present Magnetism, their first collaborative album born from a decade-long friendship and ignited by a single day of creative synergy. When Malone stepped into McDowall’s Brooklyn home studio, a shared vision immediately took root and set the course for a remarkable collaboration between these two singular artists.
On Magnetism, Malone’s poignant and evocative melodies manifest through McDowall’s signature timbral synthesis, creating a unified voice that soars freely and radiates with vitality. Technically, the duo employs an exquisite blend of Karplus-Strong synthesis, distortion and just intonation. Kali and Drew embrace these tools with refined grace while moving fluidly within their musical framework. Charged by the magnetic pull of repetition, saturation, and resonance, Magnetism pulses as a living music that captivates the senses and lingers long in the mind after the final notes fade.

Label Description: Das Ich kehren mit „Fanal” zurück: Ein apokalyptisches Meisterwerk für das postfaktische Zeitalter
Mehr als drei Jahrzehnte nach ihren ersten frevlerischen Kassetten, die mit Songs wie „Gott ist tot” und „Satans neue Kleider” die Geburtsstunde der neuen deutschen Todeskunst einläuteten, melden sich Das Ich mit einer erschütternden Diagnose unserer Zeit zurück. Bruno Kramm und Stefan Ackermann, die Pioniere einer Kunstform, die bereits mit frühen Werken wie „Satanische Verse” und „Die Propheten” Schauspiel mit Musik, Expressionismus mit Klassik und Elektronik mit Gothic zu ungekannter Intensität verband, präsentieren am 31. Oktober 2025 ihr neues Album „Fanal” – ein Werk, das brennender nicht sein könnte.
Zwischen monumentalen Alben wie „Staub”, „Egodram”, „Lava”, „Antichrist” und „Cabaret” ließen die beiden Künstler stets lange Perioden der Inspiration verstreichen, um zu jeder Epoche eine eigene musikalische Sprache zu entwickeln. Auf ausgedehnten, weltweiten Tourneen durch Europa, USA, Südamerika, Asien, Israel und Russland vertraten sie nicht nur die Kultur eines neuen, expressiven Deutschlands, sondern inspirierten mit ihren kontroversen und intensiven Liveshows unzählige Bands und Kunstformen aller Sparten. Ihre Gedichtvertonung von Gottfried Benns „Morgue” ist bis heute Thema im Deutschunterricht, während Evergreens wie „Kain und Abel”, „Von der Armut” oder die technoide VNV Nation Remixversion von „Destillat” noch immer die schwarzen Parties weltweit befeuern.
Nach einer schöpferischen Pause, bedingt durch Ackermanns schwere Krankheit und Kramms politisches Engagement, kehrt das Duo mit neuem Lineup zu einer Welt zurück, die ihre düstersten Visionen eingeholt zu haben scheint. Wo einst ihre Kunst über alle Szenegrenzen hinweg einen Ruf begründete, der auch 25 Jahre nach „Gott ist tot” keine Vergleiche kennt, brennt nun ein anderes Feuer: das Fanal einer Zivilisation am Abgrund.
Die neun Leuchtfeuer des Albums spannen den Bogen einer Spezies, die ihre eigene Vernichtung zur Kunst erhoben hat. Doch „Fanal” ist mehr als nur kulturpessimistische Zeitdiagnose – es ist ein hellsichtiger Kommentar zu einer Epoche, in der Individuen in gefährlichen Massen aufgehen, programmiert von Demagogen. Diese erschaffen aus den Schatten einer digitalen Höhlenmalerei technokratische Diktaturen und inszenieren die KI-gesteuerte Massenüberwachung und unmenschliche Hetzjagd auf die Schwächsten als mediales Opus. Aus den einstigen nerdigen Hippies, die sich an kultureller Allmende und dem privatesten von Abermillionen bereichern, sind längst die Multimilliardäre der digitalen Vollstreckung geworden.
Die Fackel auf dem Albumcover fungiert dabei als doppelte Metapher: Sie ist sowohl Warnung vor den Klippen, auf die wir zusteuern, als auch das letzte Licht der Aufklärung – ein Leuchtfeuer des Humanismus und der Empathie für alles Lebende, um den wieder erwachenden Geistern einer düsteren Vergangenheit zu entfliehen.
Nach dem Charterfolg ihrer Vorab-Single „Lazarus”, die direkt auf Platz 6 der Deutschen Alternative Charts einstieg, beweisen Das Ich einmal mehr, warum ihre Magie auch im neuen Jahrtausend noch immer zu spüren ist. Mit „Fanal” vollenden sie nicht nur ihr künstlerisches Vermächtnis, sondern entzünden selbst ein Leuchtfeuer – als Zeugnis und letzte Hoffnung gleichermaßen.
