Family Underground - "Un Tratto Di Malinconia" CD
"If recent offerings from this long running CPH outfit (this being their ninth studio album) has showed a leaning towards a more industrialized sound. This could be said to be the band's first proper Industrial record. The drone pieces of the past are still present but in a more controlled and subtle way, adding even further to the psychedelic experience, and tying together 5 harsh industrial tracks. At times this will remind you of Whitehouse, Godflesh and more than anything else TG, complete with screamed desperate vocals and harsh oscillating synths. The disc flows extremely well and this together with the unorthodox artwork invokes an almost soundtrack like atmosphere . I urge everybody into oldschool industrial not to let the bands background trick you into not giving this album the attention it deserves". - Klaus Hansen
Edition of 500 copies.

Flesh Coffin - "False Memories" C-40 Norwegian harsh noise at it's finest. Taking a leaf out of the book of the forefathers like Lasse Marhaug, Andreas Brandal (also of Lupus Golem, The Hour of the Wolf and the Twilight Luggage label) crafts two 20 minute sides of expert experimental music which only someone at the top of their game can produce. Highly thought out and perfectly executed harsh noise. | Hakaristi - "S/T" 7" Under license from Filth & Violence. Finnish raw black metal hatred. 300 copies on black vinyl with hand stamped labels. | Satanhartalt - "Féondscipe" Tape More totally absurd and buried Black Metal weirdness from Blyth's most bizarre act. Picking up where "Hæðenfolc" left off and adding more melodic elements, Satanhartalt blur through 30 minutes of dabauched misery until they break through the other side... Limited to 300 copies, first 50 copies on pro-tape with on body print. | ||
Torturing Love - "Cock Pig/Unoriginal Macho Energy" 7" + C-30 Third Fecalove and Torturing Nurse collaboration. Pure harsh noise, recorded in China and Italy during 2008/2009. Tape features longer cuts of the 7" tracks plus the two additional pieces "Super Rock And Roll" and "Total Fuck Off". Limited to 188 copies. Each copy has different hand-drawn labels. | Satanhartalt - "Hæðenfolc" Tape Now for something much different. Possibly the most bizarre and obscure "Black Metal" I have ever encountered. Nothing seems to make sense and it's a struggle to hear what exactly is going on but somehow it feels right. Slow sound that has quite possibly been buried under Blyth beach for several years. Limited to 300 copies, first 50 copies on pro-tape with on body print. | Panicsville - "New Directions in Creative Nihilism" 7" Finally! New Panicsville 7" on our very own Turgid Animal Records! Junk yard pick and scrape from Andy Ortmann and co. Using time, space and mind boggling stereo switching to their advantage; this truly is a bizarre and engaging record! We're honoured to release this I can tell you. Limited to 220 copies on HEAVY black vinyl, slapped on at 33rpm (for extra long psych) with artwork screened by Jelle Crama. | ||
Sick Seed - "The Great Corrupter" LP (Filth & Violence) "This is truly a landmark album. I've heard all of the previous Sick Seed material, but I was not prepared for The Great Corrupter. The tracks here truly exceeded my expectations, surpassing all previous SS material. Each track is filled with tiny details and slow manipulations that reward attentive listening. The songs all revolve around a few main sounds; a synth line, the vocals, mic feedback, and what sounds like a seriously fucked up guitar. The sound is always evolving, truly progressive, each sound taking center stage and then retreating. The delivery is slow and deliberate, carefully paced for maximum destruction and malice. The vocals never over power the mix, but remain ever menacing. The first half is a little more experimental. Verbanntes Land writhes, with an almost tribal mixture of bass and percussive elements, while Plague Area is almost static, thick with tension. The two biggest standouts for me are Snow Fell, an unconventional and dramatic Skrewdriver cover and The Most Hated Crime of Them All which uses a piano mantra to the most sinister effect. Despite the varied sounds used, the consistent approach and atmosphere truly create an album experience. This is essential not just for fans of that special Finnish sound, but all for anyone into Power Electronics. Don't sleep on this, because with quality like this it will be gone fast" - Zero Beat from discogs.com | Brethren - "Kingdom Coming" 7" (Freak Animal Records) "White pride power electronics from notorious american project. Presenting their best 3 songs taking the their material to new strengths! Essential purchase for anyone into aggressive pe". - Label Description | Karst - "Protze" - Single Sided C-90 45 minutes of straight to tape archive documentation. Ugly tones and beaten up guitars pave the way for a drone going on harsh noise junk terrifier! New UK project from the North. Cheap winters.... | ||
