Bocksholm - The Haunting Curse Of Skogs-Sara (Wrotycz Records)
Third release from this collaborative effort involving two Swedes named Peter Andersson, one being responsible for Raison d'Etre and the other for Deutsch Nepal. Somber industrial recollections of their seemingly grim home town of Boxholm, where the hypno-rhythmical aspect of Deutsch Nepal meets up with Raison d'Etre's haunted soundscapes.

Contemplatron - Antarabhava / The Six Realms (Wrotycz Records)
Label info: "The Sanskrit word "Antarabhăva" means "the intermediate state" and in particular refers to the state between death and the moment of the next birth. This is the sonic journey of the soul wandering through the nooks of other worlds. The second part describes the six realms which, according to the Buddhist tradition, symbolize six destructive emotions: ignorance, hatred, enslaving desire, jealousy, pride and greed. [...]"

Contemplatron - Delog (Wrotycz Records)
Sophomore release from this Polish dark ambient project strongly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. The Tibetan word Delog refers to one who has crossed the threshold of death and returned to tell about it. 45 minutes of serene compositions and ritualistic instrumentations, with an overall tone that would fit somewhere between Exotoendo and Herbst9.

Frozen Faces - Broken Sounds of a Dying Culture (Wrotycz Records)
Re-release of the 1997 LP by this Deutsch Nepal side-project, along with the two tracks from the "Religion of Hate" 7". While the hypnotic loops of its immediate parent are carried over, this is a much cruder affair, with no room for ornamental effects or intricate structuring. This is stripped-down blunt-as-bones rhythms repeating themselves with mantra-like insistence. Rewarding in the right state of mind, utterly alienating in other circumstances.

Grismannen - Absolute Bajs (Zhelezobeton)
The anthology release of Grismannen, Peter "Raison d'Etre" Andersson's oldest project. It covers the 10-year period from 1991 to 2001, and includes tracks from early self-released tapes, from the tape released on Old Europa Cafe, self-released CD-Rs and various little known compilations. Weird, playful electronics with a twisted sense of humor. The boxed set comes with a pair of rubber gloves and a surgical mask.

(CD-R, cardboard sleeve with negative film insets, out of stock)
Degeneral - After The World (Zhelezobeton)
First official release from this Siberian project, based in the city of Kemerovo. A potential soundtrack to frozen lunar colonies, their autonomous machines and the desolate surroundings. Monotonous and truly ambient moments are to be found here along with thunderous saturated electrical discharges.

Vetrophonia - The Space Voyage (Zhelezobeton)
Label info: "The science fiction film "The Space Voyage" was first shown in Soviet cinema theatres in January 1936. [...] The film narrates about the bravery of young pioneers, the willingness of Soviet women to always come to aid, the fearlessness of scientists and their determination to sacrifice their lives in the name of science. [...]
The original film had a soundtrack compiled of various classical music compositions. But what can be more appropriate to the constructivist spirit of Soviet time than the retro-futurism of St. Petersburg's noise scene classics? The Vetrophonia duet consisting of Nickolay Soudnick (ZGA) and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass, Stalnoy Pakt, Veprisuicida, etc.) solved this task with enthusiasm. During 2005 while working in the ZGA studio they laboriously collected samples, recorded the parts of electronic and acoustic instruments and composed collages for each specific scene of the film. The result turned out to be beyond all praise.
The DVD-R with the movie has an option of turning on English subtitles, comes with a booklet containing an article about the shooting process and is packed in a special cardboard sleeve.

Nazi Bastards From Aldebaran - Invasion (Zhelezobeton)
Achtung! This is a collection of all the tracks recorded by this mysterious band from the late 90's Russian scene. The music is old-school electro-industrial with pumping bass lines, arpeggiated melodic loops and clanging beats, all mixed up with some samples to spice up the affair. With completely over the top titles such as "Swastika Man", "Illuminati" and "Nazi UFO Attacks Paris Nightclub", this is sure to be a hit with all the DJs in Neuschwabenland.

Erthad - Gma (Zhelezobeton)
Active since the late 90's but without any official releases until now, Erthad's first output on physical format is the sort of obscure discovery from the Russian scene that makes Zhelezobeton a reliable source for new releases that go beyond what's already established or tamed by familiarity. Recorded in 2002 using processed voices and software synthesizers, "Gma" compiles 6 tracks of serene yet expansive robotic meditations, at times approaching some form of mantras for nano-technological organisms. Soothing but not ambient in nature, the closest comparison I can think of would be another Zhelezobeton act (Degeneral) crossed over with Sshe Retina Stimulants, but that's still not close enough to what can be found here.
