I dedicate this one to everyone who’s living hellish times at the moment and can’t do much about it because of the higher powers ruling upon them or the system pushing them. To the depressed, to the suicidal, to all who struggle to find correspondence in this world. You’re not alone. Enjoy the hell ride!

Label Description: Once again, the Swedish-German project invites their listeners into its musical world, intricately woven from subtle melodies, warm, delicate drone structures, and the sounds of exotic instruments, over which hangs an aura of the extraordinary, shimmering with particles of light, bathed in summer sunlight, evoking fragrances from the farthest corners of the globe. Once again, MOLJEBKA PVLSE recorded the material with a four-member lineup. “An Expression of a Poetry That Was Lost” comprises two longer compositions, where, alongside electronics, we hear live instruments, and darker moments give way to exotic sounds, reflective melodies, and a fleeting aura of mystery. This is the next release showing that this band still has much to say… The album is available in two formats: CD and LP.
The Tear Garden, the legendary experimental project of Edward Ka-Spel (The Legendary Pink Dots) and cEvin Key (Skinny Puppy), is set to release their highly anticipated new album, Astral Elevator. This record marks a significant return for the duo, delivering a soundscape that is both familiar and refreshingly new. As with their past work, the album is a journey through surreal, often haunting electronic textures and Ka-Spel’s distinct, poetic lyricism and mysticism.
Produced entirely by The Tear Garden themselves, Astral Elevator is a testament to the enduring creative partnership between Ka-Spel and Key. The album also features contributions from a stellar lineup of guests, including the late Dwayne Goettel, who provides a poignant and powerful presence. The sound is further enriched by the talents of Randall Frazier and Dre Robinson, and the entire experience was brought to its final form by the expert hands of Greg Reely on mixing and mastering.
In addition to the album’s release, fans can look forward to a full visual experience. The stunning artwork for Astral Elevator was created by Simon Paul, perfectly capturing the album’s ethereal and otherworldly themes. Furthermore, videos directed by Cory Gorski will accompany the singles due out during the album cycle.
Astral Elevator marks not only a return for The Tear Garden, but also their first record for Toronto-based Artoffact Records, home to many of cEvin Key’s other projects.

Long have I listened to the songs of the Southron tongues, and low have I seen flung the banners of empires now unmoored in the tide of history.
I have traced the bloodlines of kings to the very marrow, weighed every rune that once lit the high towers.
And yet, this I cannot name.
They are the Nine. Shrouded, innominate, but ever present, they descend across these lands like grave mist over the battle strewn dead.
Their song is the unmaking of the world. All hear the black melody dimly in the silence of Night’s shadow, as if faint voices behind the heavy door were singing to thee, beckoning to thee…
They are as crawling thunder before the Iron Shadow, Warlords and Heralds of the Hungering King.
A piercing chorus of rusted shrieking, a cloying dread of which none can find refuge, they carry not banners but the grim auspices of Doom.
Do not seek them. Do not name them.
The Nine have risen. Their song is heard through the door.

Featuring: Hulder as Tear Maiden M. as Lord of All Langon as Loremaster S. as Luthien
Four extended songs ranging from experimental and minimal acoustic to heavy industrial doom metal, with the addition of saxophone, French horn, harp, and multiple voices.
Some words from Christopher Nosniborr regarding the release:
Journeys Through Inner Space
Art, in all of its many forms, often helps us to understand the world, and, indeed, ourselves. It’s also true that works which are the most personal for the creator have a wider resonance, in that they have the capacity to articulate for others something that reaches beyond art as entertainment, and that often, in the personal lies the universal. For a long time, I have found the act of writing has helped me navigate some of the most challenging times, and particularly recently, I have come to discover the catharsis of laying bare some of my most innermost thoughts on the page, and bringing these to performance.
The texts which form the narratives of Journeys Through Inner Space are taken from my novel The Deserted Island, and work in progress, Reflections on a Life, and explore themes of anxiety, bewilderment, and bereavement. These are not light or easy topics, and are topics we often shy away from. Because they are uncomfortable. But they are realities of life, and while we may wish otherwise, the stark fact is that they will likely affect us all in some way or another at some point. In these pieces, I speak only from my own experiences of my journeys through inner space.
‘Am I Really Having This Conversation?’, and ‘A Slew of Likes and Handy Hints’ – original texts appear in The Deserted Island (Clinicality Press, 2022).
All other texts from Reflections on a Life (unpublished).
The words to ‘Last Days’ appeared on a track bearing a variant title on the Last Days EP (self-released, 2023)
Komorebi” (木漏れ日) is a Japanese word that describes the sunlight filtering through the leaves of trees.
This Record is about the light of Autumn and foggy Days maybe two Albums about Winter and Spring are following
On my Tours I am always fascinated by the morning light trough Trees and plants.
I also like the Japanese philosophy about it and even create a word for it. So I try to make it into a musical Picture.

I played Guitar for „The Art of Illusion“ ( Prog-Rock) from 1994-2003 We recorded two Albums together after the Band splits I search for new ways in Music . I am a Fan of Steve Roach/Tangerine Dream and Kitaro since 1992 so I decide to try out this musical path till now . Sometimes I mix it up with (processed) Guitars, but 90% are made by Synthesizer and Software Plugins. In 201I get a Job offer to compose the Score for the short animation Movie „Employee of the Day“ from Alexander Isert/Christoph Kellner. I recorded 5 full releases and some single release so far.

snow pellets are small, resilient spheres or irregular fragments of crystallized snow, often encasing frozen water within their compact structures. born through delicate atmospheric processes, partial melting, refreezing, or the gradual compaction of snow by wind, they embody the intricate geometry of winter’s transient artistry.
this winter, anatoly grinberg invites us into his newest creation: a resonant world of granular synthesis where sound becomes sculpture, and the hush of frozen air turns into music – a space where science dissolves seamlessly into poetry. credits releases November 4, 2025
