Romantic, melancholic, seductive. Acoustic, ethereal, lush. Sensual, beautiful and stirring. All are good words to describe The Hours' passionate search through the soul, an album inspired by the lifes and books of great authors. The Italian due of Viola and Federico create graceful and elegant music for fans of Dark Folk and Ethereal soundscapes. All My Faith Lost's second album quickly follows their 2005 debut on Cold Meat Industry. The album is slow and tranquil, featuring male and female vocals which serve as instruments contributing to the soundscape of acoustic guitar, flute, piano, violin, and cello. All My Faith Lost... unlock a beautifully tender and delicate world, a view into the soul of delicate seduction. Mastered by Peter Andersson (RAISON D'ETRE, ATOMINE ELEKTRINE, NECROPHORUS +++)

This material possesses quality and individuality. With an acoustic instrumentation of guitars, flute, piano and violin along with the members, Viola and Federico's own technique, spirit and presence, All My Faith Lost create an openly honest sound that is hard to come by these days, with a purity that is almost painfully intense. Italian melancholic ethereal as we know from bands such as Gothica, Ordo Equitum Solis and also even some of the calmer dark-acoustic sets of Ain Soph, interwined with influences of the darkwave bands heard on the American label, Projekt. This is sound-balm for the ears, far away from daily stress and the disturbing noises of today. Volumes are low, lyrics are whispered - it's sparse, soft and dangerously seductive.

Fantastic remastered reissue of this classic prog masterpiece! Taking their name from an Egyptian God AMON and a character in Turkish fiction DUUL.

Full of improvisation and experiment they remain as challenging and as influential as they were at their inception. The CD has been re-mastered for this release to give as much clarity and depth as possible without losing any of the original warmth. But don't take my word for it: listen for yourself.

Fantastic remastered reissue of this classic prog masterpiece! 'Airs On A Shoestring' is one of the best avenues to investigate Amon Duul's sometimes darkly comic, sometimes difficult brand of fragmented rock and jazz fusion. It represents the band's musical free expression and their more structured sound, but, at the same time, offers an introduction into Amon Duul II's historical Krautrock prominence.

Fantastic remastered reissue of this classic prog masterpiece! 'Meetings With Menmachines...' fits perfectly into the body of work from this outstanding band. Proving that nearly 20 years after their beginnings they still worked together as a tight and imaginative group proving that they are still very much rock pioneers. A must have album for any Amon Duul fan & also for fans of CAN, HAWKWIND, MAGIC MUSHROOM BAND & OZRIC TENTACLES.

Fantastic remastered reissue of this classic prog masterpiece! Amon Duul must surely be one of the most established of all the free expressive improvisational bands in the history of rock. Formed as long ago as 1966. A joyous jam session captured in the crystal clarity of CD technology. This line up went on to record two more LP's & a compilation of these was released as an introduction to the band.

At the beginning of 2000, a man calling himself Andrew W.K. seemed to appear out of nowhere in an explosion of soaking white electricity.

Anenzephalia are a wellknown cult band in the underground industrial scene in Germany, Europe and the World. With obscure limited edition releases on labels such as Tesco and RRRecords and with a close relation to their label mates Genocide Organ, they, or he, or whoever really is the core of this mysterious band, have made a mark in the annals of German industrial music. This is not just another Anenzephalia live recording, since this was a special, and may we add a very odd occasion: In Slaughter Natives and Mortiis(!) opening up for Anenzephalia!! We who were there recall an almost religious experience, an intense show with throbbing electronics setting up the scene for B. Moloch's chilling voice. Now, five years later, this legendary live set sees the light again with this release, and hopefully gets the attention it deserves.

This follows after a couple of eventful years where focus had shifted towards his other project Sophia, a period that has been crowned by the recent birth of Pettersson's daughter. The absence seems not to have had any major effect on Arcana though; the strings flow as gently as ever, the rolling drums and the sonority of the chimes accentuate the various moods spelled out by the music, while the voice of the female companion take the compositions to even more celestial spheres. This albums stands as a magnificent proof that Arcana are back in a leading position among the host of bands on the romantic/ethereal fringe of the darkwave scene.

"We rise above" gives us an intimate view into Peter's thoughts and ways of working with real timpanies, accoustic guitars and hammered dulcimer. "Body of sin" is probably the most different song we have heard in the history of Arcana.

Never before did Ida's voice resound so crisp and clear, never before did Peter croon so elegantly, but yet again Arcana surpass expectations with this shimmering eulogy for a past era; an age marked by the polar opposites of belligerence and spirituality, the two streaks also always present in the music of Arcana. So kiss the earth, sharpen your lance, and bliss out to the latest offering from this marvel duo.

Arcana's followup to their one year old debut album. They continue their mixture of so-called industrial elements and rather classical and medieval influences, and this one will no doubt be as critically acclaimed as their debut.

Founded in 1990 by Tomas Pettersson (Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio) and Mikael Stavšstrand. Archon Satani returns once more to ultimately raise the tombstone and once and for all complete the premature burial of 1993. Luxury digipak!

Black Metal experimentalist return with another forward thinking avante garde masterpiece. Originally thought of as simply a black metal super group, Norway's ARCTURUS, have had the guts to incorporate traditional melody, keyboards, vocal experimental & melodrama into their sinister theatrics.

Now, on their fourth full-length release, the have become the premiere progressive, avant-garde art band.

Gatefold double vinyl.

This album remains metal at its core while dragging the genre through endless tunnels of light, color and sound that it has never before seen. The Trickster Garm (ULVER) showcases his previously-unexplored falsetto range; Hellhammer (MAYHEM) offers a percussive display that teeters between the organic & the inhuman; Sverd's keys pepper the spaces with masterful confidence. Note for note, song for song, "The Sham Mirrors" is likely Arcturus's grand achievement, pulling together various facets of their previous releases & molding it into a bold new shape. Also features guest vocals from Ihsahn (EMPEROR) on one track!

A release that's unusual even for this eccentric band. 'Disguised Masters' consists of oddities conceived in the period after 'La Masquerade Infernale', including unreleased songs & nine rerecordings and remixes.

One of the most astonishing albums ever! Dark, evocative & symphonic, this album created a new level of metal and music altogether. Ultra-essential!

Classic re-issue of the debut album from Norway's ARCTURUS, now complete with new artwork + 2 unreleased bonus tracks & the legendary and highly collectable "Constellation" and "My Angel" ep's as a bonus. This album has also been re-mixed & re-mastered by Norse legend ULVER who along with Hellhammer from MAYHEM founded this ground breaking act. Since it's original release in 1995 on the Misanthropy label the band have gone on to become one of the most respected and diverse metal acts of recent times. See how this infamous black metal "supergroup" started with one of the finest debut albums in underground metal history.

Side project of the legendary Brian Williams who is LUSTMORD!

The Russian horde ARKONA delivers a masterpiece of Slavic Pagan Metal with their latest full-length release "Ot Serdca K Nebu", or "From the Heart to the Sky". Traditional folk instruments merge skillfully with powerful guitar riffs & pounding drums creating catchy yet versatile songs that have quickly become the trademark of mastermind and frontwoman Masha Scream. Her unique compositions & lyrics set the stage for her impressive vocals that range from clean passages to brutal screams and grunts. The lyrical concept breathes of lore & legend, inviting the listener to enter the realm of nearly forgotten gods.

ASCENSION OF THE WATCHERS is Burton C. Bell (FEAR FACTORY) & members of MINISTRY & KILLING JOKE!

ATARAXIA SPEAKS: "- Helas!... The CircuZ KumP drama company has managed to convince (and corrupt) us to collaborate with them in order to transform a turbid and tormented reality, the one of the freaks of the beginning of the XXth century into a concept album! Two years ago (yes, with a gun pointed straight to our temple), we started exploring an historical period and environment that have always appealed to us: the 'cabarets macabres' and fun fairs of the beginning of last century in Paris. We felt the urge to turn into music the universe of Atget, an anomalous artist who, unlike his contemporaries, felt the wish, through his photographic objective, to capture the state of grace of some places, persons and situations that had always been considered of scarce interest. And who, better than Baudelaire, has managed to portray a similar universe within his verses? "The spleen of Paris" has been our guide and some of its poems have become the lyrics of our songs. Exploring the 'ghost cabarets' that animated the nights of Boulevard de Clichy, we disappeared into a nocturnal environment both gloomy and sparkling of unnatural colours, a distorted dimension where each mask, drama, jest and tear turned into a grotesque and amplified representation of life."

Atrium Carceri emerges from the vapours with yet another stunning release entitled Ptahil (fetahil). The obsidian citadel stands stoic, its forceful gaze forever over streets running rampant with the councils bidders, while the citadel of glass attracts the mindless reincarnates grasping at anything physical while their memories slowly burn away in the womb of their eternal home. The comforts of quiet lives forever washed away by a miasmic tidal wave of necrotic flesh, sagging, protean forms and the chill of the grave.This is a place where steel rusts and is forgotten, where flesh and the fleeting forms it inhabits are forever changed. Ptahil sees all, and forgets naught. Let your mind be stripped to the pulpy, undulating core with this darkened voyage into domains both dreadful and serenely beautiful.

Beyond the malignant jail cells and narrow asylum walls, our hidden tormentors laugh at us from a world of smoke and mirrors. Kapnobatai, the third installment from Atrium Carceri, ventures further still into the wretched world beyond the place we so resignedly inhabit, and into the sublimely unkown. Shattered yet enlightened we are thrust forcefully through the illusion of our making, to the ancient sprawling city that is the one true testament to human achievment. The visions of the Kapnobatai (those who walk in smoke) are seen, heard and felt in this genderbending and exquisitely detailed black ambient album from philosopher/visionaire/composer/artist Simon Heath. This is a place of ancient machines, rusty walls and whispered sighs. With lavish attention to detail this profound composition of the mind wrests the listener away from the mundane, perchance never to return.

Seishinbyouin is the second album from Atrium Carceri, and drags the listener on a violent journey through haunted mental asylums, ripe with the cries of the lost and the damned.
