Family Underground - "Un Tratto Di Malinconia" CD

£7.99

"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

Turgid Animal: Italian Division

This label is a collaboration between UK's Mutant Ape and Italy's Fecalove . So half of the stuff is phisically produced in UK, and the other half in Italy. Even if we mail each other everything we prepare for our catalogue, it happens we're carrying different items at the same time. Sometimes we are holding Italian back catalogue stuff and sometimes the Italian Division are carrying UK-produced stuff we don't have anymore. So it's always worth checking out the other side of the same coin. To have a look, click here!

Legion Blotan Records

The people behind Turgid Animal also run a Black Metal label called "Legion Blotan". All Legion Blotan releases are available from this web-site, find the link in the "Legion Blotan Releases" section of this site. More information on the Legion Blotan Blog.

Flesh Coffin - "False Memories" C-40

Highly thought out and perfectly executed harsh noise.

Satanhartalt - "Hæðenfolc" Tape

Satanhartalt -

£4.00

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.

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)

Sick Seed -

£10.99

"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
