Rapoon – Dream Circle (In Three Phases) [Zoharum]

Posted by John Lithium on

a1878451718_10

Label Description:

We are proud to present the unique RAPOON publication “Dream Circle” (In three Phases)”, a special edition of the British artist’s debut album, containing a total of 3 CDs: a remastered version of the debut “Dream Circle”, the sequel “Recurring (Dream Circle)” and a specially prepared version of thinking about this release, the album “Mandala”, which is an extension of the formula contained in previous releases. As in the case of the extended reissues of RAPOON (“Vernal Crossing Revisited” or “The Kirghiz Light”), the musician had a similar idea there, also here, to record new compositions, Robin Storey reached into his archive to extract the tracks and sound banks that he used during those sessions almost 30 years ago, to use them in a completely different way with their help, compose completely new, interesting and coherent musical material. “Mandala” draws listeners into a mystical journey to the Middle East with the same intensity as “Dream Circle” and “Recurring…”. The discs put together in this way close the triptych started at the very beginning of Rapoon’s activity. This unique trilogy was released in a black and gold 8-panel digipack.
In addition, an extended collector’s edition in a wooden box will also be available, containing several bonuses.

Anatoly Grinberg & Andreas Davids – Inspired By A Tragedy (Ant-Zen)

Posted by John Lithium on

a4128309195_10

Label Description:

INSPIRED BY A TRAGEDY is a collaborative album between anatoly grinberg (aka tokee) and andreas davids (mainly known from xotox). their obsession manifests as a cinematic odyssey through an enigmatic dystopian story, where silence can resound with intensity and noise can become inconsequential. the superficial weight of matter can dissolve into an intricate idm-ish loops, metamorphosing an entire composition into a meticulously crafted form. hypnotic repetition, crunchy beats and lush, expansive swells serve as the catalyst for their journey through ambient soundscapes, revealing new dimensions of auditory perception.

INSPIRED BY A TRAGEDY – the plot: a violent shudder sent the small plane plummeting towards the snow-capped mountains. the sole survivors pieced together the fractured memories of the inexplicable descent. days bled into a desperate struggle against the elements, panic a constant companion – a place where even the mountains whispered warnings. one terrifying night, an unseen force ripped through their camp. they fled in terror, leaving only a slashed tent and a chilling tableau. days later, rescuers found the scattered bodies, some bearing strange internal injuries, others with signs of radiation exposure. recovered journals hinted at strange lights in the sky and an oppressive sense of dread since the crash. theories swirled, but none explained the bizarre events. the incident became a haunting legend, a grim reminder of human fragility in the face of the untamed wilderness.

Ulvtharm – 7 Uthras (Cyclic Law)

Posted by John Lithium on

a3211526061_10

Label Description: Second opus from MZ 412 co-founder Jouni Ollila. Ulvtharm is painting his world as a sprawling, post-apocalyptic industrial wasteland, where humanity clings to survival in the shadows of monolithic factories and decaying cities. Skies choked with ash, and a sun that seldom breaks through the omnipresent smog. Within this landscape, the Seven Uthras exist not as beings of benevolence, but as ancient, god-like entities that emanate from the darkest depths of the earth, commanding forces beyond human comprehension. 7Uthras serves as a sonic gateway to otherworldly realms, offering a glimpse into the abyss that challenges and expands the listener’s perception of the known universe. Ulvtharm masterfully blends the essence of dark industrial soundscapes with layers of mystical ambiance, creating an immersive experience that is both deeply unsettling and profoundly enlightening. This new album is not just an exploration of sound but a journey into the soul of its creator, exploring the chaos and darkness within his imagination. Ulvtharm’s deeper vocal experimentations are weaving a narrative that is both personal and universal. The album’s blend of dark, martial, pulsating rhythms and ambient organic soundscapes invites us to confront the death and ruins of our world. As each track unfolds, we will be drawn deeper into a narrative of chaos and transformation, where the end of one world signifies the birth of another. 7UTHRAS is not just an album; it is a ritualistic journey that seeks to unlock the ancient doors of perception and embrace the darkness as a path to enlightenment. All hail the Serpents, all hail the Seven Uthras!

The Jesus Fish Experience – Cosmic Predation (Argali Records Netlabel)

Posted by John Lithium on

a0135267200_10

Pursuing a dark, singular music vision, “Cosmic Predation” fuses haunting e-bow melodies with industrial dirges, dark ambient pulsations, and harrowing post-rock constructions to form a “blackened neo-shoegaze” experience of harrowing intensity. Oppressive and moody, the sounds on this album grips at the earth while illuminating the void.

Originally released back in 2011 on the Argali Records Netlabel site on Archive.org, this re-release features high-definition audio (the original being an mp3-only release) in addition to a new graphic design by John Lithium. Also, the complete album download also includes the original album graphics as well.
