Nekyia - Slowmotion Downhells (Beast of Prey)
Fourth Nekyia album, with 6 long tracks that add up to around 52 minutes. Mid-paced ritualistic rhythms and darkwave-style vocals put together over dark ambient backdrops, with a less electro sound than the previous full-length. The rhythms are much more subdued, giving more breathing room to the instruments and dark ambient undertones. This is the normal edition.
(CD, A5 folded envelope with inserts, 12.00 €)

Desolation Zone - L'Homme Machine (Beast of Prey)
"L'Homme Machine" is named after a book by French philosopher Julien Offray de La Mettrie, the founder of a radical form of materialism he named mechanism. The six tracks presented here live up to this creed by delivering a solid 38 minutes of cadenced factory noises, mechanical rhythms and instructions barked over the factory's PA systems, like a more electronic and rhythmical version of some Linija Mass or Genetic Transmission tracks. Great stuff.
(CD, circular metal case with insert, black latex gloves and scalpel blade, 13.00 €)

Genetic Transmission - Ascetic (Beast of Prey)
New album from this absurdly overlooked Polish industrial pioneer, whose previous work includes many self-releases on Die Schöne Blumen Musik Werk and activities in projects such as Ładne Kwiatki, Godzilla and Hated Bruit Kollectiv. "Ascetic" is just as abstract and demanding as one would expect, with its brittle electro-acoustic textures slithering and scraping through three 20-min tracks. An acquired taste for some, but those interested in Niellerade Fallibilisthorstar and modern futurism shouldn't ignore this one.
(CD, circular cardboard packaging, 12.00 €)

Krepulec - New Radical (Beast of Prey)
Krepulec is a duo involving the head of the Beast of Prey label and the person behind Horologium. While they have released a number of splits and EPs, this is their first full-length album and it's the same blend of martial rhythms, neo-folk and subdued industrial influences as on their previous discs. A note-worthy aspect of this album is the recurrent use of accordions, which adds a nice nostalgic touch to its sound.
(CD, oversized sleeve held by a ribbon, 12.00 €)

Mlehst - An Old Broom Knows All The Dirty Corners (Belief Recordings)
First CD release from this long-active UK-based noise artist who's put out tapes, CD-Rs and vinyl on Self-Abuse, Nihilist and his own label, Belief Recordings. The sounds here range from spastic cut-up outbursts à la Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock to distressed sine tones.
(CD, digipak, 12.00 €)

N. - Memories From Before Being Born (Belligeranza)
Produced using nothing more than two empty tape-recorders connected to each other, this is the sound of nothingness, hollow frequencies and flat electroencephalograms. This album is presented over the course of 27 short tracks and fulfils its conceptual promise by straining raw, scum-drenched bass tones to oblivion.
(CD, jewel case, 12.00 €)

Funkstillesender / Komatöserzustand - Dno (Beta-Sendung)
Comatose ambient made from layers of radio noise and static by these two obscure Russian projects. The presentation is cheap (don't expect anything beyond a photocopied sheet and a white CD-R in a slim case), but it somehow fits the rough lo-fi nature of the sounds to be found here.
(CD-R, slim case, 7.00 €)

Shumy Rossii - Nevidimost (BioSonar)
Label info: "Shumy Rossii (aka Les Bruits Russes) is a unique project on Russian post-industrial scene. To create their music they don't use any instruments except for voices of their vocalists. The main method of sound-expressing is perfectly executed collage technique. This CD contains the recording of live show, being held in the city of Obninsk in April 2003."
(CD-R, A5 sleeve, 9.00 €, last copy)

Bardoseneticcube - Toyz-z-z (Black Arts Productions)
5 untitled tracks based on the theme of "the childhoods of sexual maniacs", which translates sonically into saturated drones layered with warbled kids' voices, nursery rhymes and music-box melodies. Suitably creepy photography by fellow St. Petersburg madman Hladna.
(CD-R, slim DVD case with insert, 7.00 €)

Altar of Flies - Dead Air, Broken Wings (BlackGapDeathTrap Records)
CD-R re-release of the tape with an extra track. Altar of Flies is Mattias Gustafsson from Sweden, and this project is one of those great surprises you run into and feel like sharing with whoever is actually reading this. This is tense, sputtering electronic sludge with industrial overtones done right, crafted into an organic beast with a life of its own. Limited to 50 copies, and we've only got two to spare.
(CD-R, individually handmade artwork, 7.00 €, last copy)
