Label Description: There are many doors in the above simple collage I made for the cover. Doors that lead to nowhere and doors that lead you to the unexpected in life. All doors lead here to this examination of my current ambient work. On these recordings I try and mimic my past and distort it at the same time. Not in any negative way, only as examination. I once read there is nothing more frightening than an unopened door so open one and see.
This is a WHOLENESS RECORDINGS release: WHOLE202603
Label Description: For almost four decades, MZ.412 have forged some of the most uncompromising ritual industrial and dark ambient soundscapes the world has ever known.
“The Nar Mattaru Curses” gathers obscure recordings from their whole career including previously unreleased or buried tracks, recorded between 1989 and 2017 in the legendary Nar Mattaru studio. Raw hymns of apocalyptic industrialism, occult malevolence, and crushing sonic sorcery that never made the original albums.
An essential transmission for devotees of black industrial and dark ambient music.
CD in matt digipak, with artwork by Abby Helasdottir.
Label Description: Rapoon’s new album brings ten premiere tracks. Over an hour of pulsating ambient music, bathed in a somewhat dreamlike aura, from which lazily emerge snatches of melody, sonic nuances of an ethereal nature. We still encounter the Brit’s signature sound, but above all, we experience music with a slightly more meditative, reflective quality than usual. With each passing minute, images unfold, intricately woven like clichés of memory, vaguely recalled in our minds…
Label Description: Bay Area based experimental metal entities Sutekh Hexen and Seattle’s Hissing unveil SH:HS, a long-awaited collaborative release capturing the raw intensity of their joint improvisational project, SH:HS (Sutekh Hissing Arkestra).
Originally conceived as a live convergence of both bands’ full lineups, SH:HS documents two volatile and distinct performances recorded in 2017 and 2019. These recordings, born from spontaneous interaction and unrestrained sonic exploration, have since undergone an extensive transformation. Across 2024–2025, both groups meticulously revisited the material, cleaning, mixing, and reshaping the source recordings with a careful balance of restraint and intervention, preserving the immediacy of the performances while expanding their depth and dimensionality.
The result is a work that embodies abstract metal improvisation at its most feral and unfiltered. SH:HS channels dissonant textures, unstable rhythmic forms, and raw sonic collisions unfolding in real time. What emerges is a dense and unpredictable soundscape, oscillating between chaos and intention, where structure feels simultaneously eroded and reconstituted in the moment.
This release stands as both a document and a reconstruction, capturing not only the ephemeral nature of live improvisation, but also the evolving dialogue between two of of the west coast’s most uncompromising experimental acts.
CD co-released with Phage Tapes.
Edition of 300 copies in 6 panel Digisleeve. 2 Tracks. Running Time 29:45

Label Description: Sky Burial marks its twentieth year in 2026 with the release of “Shadow and Shroud,” the project’s first recording built entirely around rhythm-based material. The eleven tracks coalesce euphoria and angst, forming a dichotomous tenet of ritual praxis for liberation from the binds imposed by the self, society, and state; a return to an actuality where life’s cadence is the totality of existence.
Recorded, Aborted, Reanimated 2006-2026 Mastered by Chris Leamy Original artwork by Matthew Blodgett
Label Description: Our new release is from a new artist on SubCastCo. Glacial long form electronica. This from the artist.
“Slowly building, repeating washes of synthesised sound and noise envelop all around it. Overtaking, consuming, suppressing and supplanting background signals. Noises ricochet through the consciousness; ghostly snares echo back and forth as in an imagined cathedral. Anxious calls and distorted responses. A cloud of hazy dissonance rises, forced up and through intricate tones and space.
The thaw. Ice melts, turns to water, trickles and weaves, carving out streams and pathways. Slowly, shapes emerge from a frosty prison. Moist moss and lichen, once deformed, returning to shape; reappearing from the cold.
An antidote to pain.”
Music and visuals by Arran Poole.
Created using guitars, bass and snare drums, strings, tape hiss, synth and effects.
