Kruzenshtern & Parohod - The Craft of Primitive Klezmer (Auris Media)
First release from this highly eclectic Israeli band that deliver a joyful combination of Jazz, Klezmer, Hardcore and cartoon sound effects. Somewhere between Zorn and Bugs Bunny at times, and solid material throughout the album.

Igor Krutogolov's Karate Band - Children 4 Muzik (Auris Media)
New band that brings together 11 musicians (including the whole Kruzenshtern & Parohod roster) and an arsenal of toys as the sole instruments, resulting in some beautifully noisy and playful racket. From tango to black metal (that track alone is worth the admission price), the variety of styles covered in the 7 tracks is even more impressive considering the nature of the instruments, and the skilled musicianship pushes this beyond mere gimmickry. Excellent stuff. The CD contains two videos and photos from live performances at the Green Raccoon in Tel-Aviv.

Nekyia - Purgatory As The Serpent Domain (Beast of Prey)
Second release from this Polish band, whose debut album came out on Fluttering Dragon. This one comes across as a darkwave / rhythmic industrial hybrid with some ambient elements and well performed vocals. Think Sanctum but minus the coarse screaming. Nicely done and boasts a well-designed 3-panel sleeve with two inserts.
(CD, A5 sleeve with inserts, $17.00, last copy)

Moljebka Pulse / Horologium - Kaukasus (Beast of Prey)
Collaboration release between Moljebka Pulse and Horologium, inspired and devoted to the region where Europe and Asia meet and where ancestral grudges carry on to this day. Meditative drones and rumbling loops try to convey the majesty and richness of the region, but there are unfortunately no Azeri folk songs to be found here.

Storm of Capricorn / Paranoia Inducta - Jama (Beast of Prey)
Label info: "Jama is a poem written by the Croatian poet, resistance member and revolutionary Ivan Goran Kovacic, who was murdered in 1943 by opportunists and readers upset with his poems full of shocking scenes of Croatian perpetrations.
Jama is a story and CD devoted to the tragedy of the Balkan world, the dark history enriched by the beauty of its folklore. French project Storm of Capricorn presents dark martial ambient and Polish project Paranoia Inducta contribute music full of folklore."

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, $17.00)

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, $17.00)

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.

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.

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.
