Haus Arafna - Butterfly (Galakthorrö)
Long awaited third release from this cult project. Less confrontational and aggressive than "Children of God" but their most personal and emotional work so far. Strongly recommended.

Haus Arafna - Blut (Galakthorrö)
Label info: "Beloved for its rugged charm and its extraordinary harshness, the first Haus Arafna album has been an industrial classic for some considerable time. Since 1995 the original limited edition could only be obtained at horrendous collectors' prices, and ran the risk like many other Galakthorrö presentations of falling foul of the Bootleggers (Help! The Russians are coming!) and now in 2006 it has finally been re-issued, digitally re-mastered with three brilliant extra bonus tracks. The new edition is rounded off visually by a 24 page booklet containing numerous black and white photoplates illustrating the bloody subject matter."

Haus Arafna - You (Galakthorrö)
Seven long years after "Butterfly" Haus Arafna return with another finely crafted piece of angst-pop. Possibly their most elaborate album so far, "You" takes a syncretic approach to the post-industrial styles that have manifested themselves in their work, adding steel-sourced metallic noises and klangs to the sound and integrating influences from the duo's twin project November Növelet. A monument of intimately miserable and misanthropic Arafna Cultura.

Haus Arafna - Children of God (Galakthorrö)
Where the pathology began for most of us, over a decade ago. Bleak, fierce
and essential Haus Arafna material, just as powerful and impressive today as it was then.

Haus Arafna - New York Rhapsody (Galakthorrö)
Haus Arafna being commissioned to write a soundtrack album for a New York fashion show seems about as comically mismatched an idea as the Grey Wolves headlining a Christian rock festival, but "New York Rhapsody" dismisses any initial apprehensions rather quickly. While the aggressiveness has definitely been dialed down to some extent to emphasize the more textural and constructed aspects, the ingredients - electricity-charged static, dour tones and metallic noises - are consistent with what you'd expect from the current sound of Haus Arafna. Secondly, the album's theme hardly constrains it musically or lyrically, and this isn't some dull scholastic effort with some tacked-on references to the catwalk or what have you. Ultimately little aside from the photos by Nikolay Saveliev (Levoi Pravoi) and the blurbs tie this album to fashion, and if anything it could be argued that it's more about New York at large ("45 Minutes in New York", "Ground Zero"). Overall, a very nice little surprise.

Hermann Kopp - Under A Demon's Mask (Galakthorrö)
Label info: "Everybody who has seen the Buttgereit films Nekromantik 1+2 and Todesking, has heard of Hermann Kopp. The music he wrote and performed for them is ever-present, pervading the atmosphere and has contributed considerably to the advancement of these films into classics. He still retains to this day his exceptional musical ability, and proves it yet again.
Galakthorrö is proud to be able to present 13 new songs from the nekrodramatist: more than 40 minutes of new material, which today – just as it did then – has as its core his dissonant-tempered and individualistic violin playing. Combined with electronics, a host of weird instruments and metal percussion he creates an unequaled gruesome opus, carried by an effectively conceived minimalism, and the most beautiful and haunting Angst melodies imaginable. So morbid and wonderful in fact, that we have to ask ourselves how we could manage to survive for so long without any new material from Hermann Kopp – and which demons were riding him that he had to keep us waiting so long."

Hermann Kopp - Cerveau D'Enfant (Galakthorrö)
New 7" from the person responsible for the cult Nekromantik and Der Todesking soundtracks. On "Cerveau D'Enfant", Hermann Kopp indulges his penchant for deviant electronic pop, the kind where glassy synthetic melodies and idiosyncratic vocals (en Français s'il vous plait) define an unhealthy mood perfectly at home with the likes of November Növelet and Karl Runau.
One copy per buyer and only available if bought with a Galakthorrö CD.

Herz Jühning - Faces (Galakthorrö)
Label info: "Herz Jühning is a new Galakthorrö artist. He presents driving, straight ahead electronics predominately in an Angst Pop style. His tightly constructed arrangements consist of a combination of darkness, the required sadness, plus finally the aggression that fires off in the title track. All four songs will get directly under your skin and start your pulse racing!
From every standpoint a very respectable debut and we wait in suspense for the next episode."

Herz Jühning - Miasma (Galakthorrö)
First full-length album from this newcomer to the Galakthorrö family, whose Faces 7" the luckier ones of you may have had a chance to hear. True to the label's tradition, Herz Jühning delivers a compact dose of stylized dread that navigates somewhere between November Növelet's pulsating angst-pop ("Reopened Eyes") and Subliminal's dreary analog power electronics ("The Rape", "Infibulation"). No surprises, no gimmicks, just 13 solid tracks of torpor and contempt.

Karl Runau - Beyond Frequencies (Galakthorrö)
In the Galakthorrö family, Karl Runau could fit the role of the silent professor with a compulsive obsession for minimal analog electro. This album was recorded between 1994 - 1998, and tracks vary from punchy beatbox pieces to brooding synth noodlings, all with that certain Galakthorrö touch.
(CD, clear jewel case, to be restocked soon)
Maska Genetik - Strada (Galakthorrö)
Long-delayed and previously cancelled album from this mysterious Moscow project who grabbed everyone's attention with stunning tracks on the "Kosmoloko" compilation and the Quarantine 7". A personal synthesis of the various Galakthorrö strains with a unique touch. Spring is coming.

November Növelet - From Heaven on Earth (Galakthorrö)
Songs of beauty, despair and hatred from this Haus Arafna side-project. Another release of the strongest caliber from Galakthorrö.

November Növelet - Magic (Galakthorrö)
Label info: "This magically-charged jewel of electronic music consists of twelve new songs. The analogue foundation combines with electric vibraphone and 8-bit surrealism transformed into sound. Melancholic synthesizer melodies and the ethereal voice of Mrs. Arafna melt into a fragile beauty with emotional depth. Unpretentious and lost, a gripping experience.
In spite of all this exploration of the depths, there is also the opportunity to roll up the carpet. Mr. and Mrs. Arafna have conjured up a few dance hits, which because of their minimalism and cultured morbid charm, should kick off the party mood for the creatures of the night. These contrast well with the slow pieces – tinged with a breath of experimentation, resulting in a many-faceted, and at the same time very balanced, Angst Pop album. The long time in waiting for the release of this new record will soon be forgotten in sheer listening pleasure."

November Növelet - Sacred (Galakthorrö)
Label info: "The new 4-track vinyl EP from November Növelet. Deep emotions behind a stoic manner, walking tall in the face of sadness. Frau Arafna's graveyard voice, melancholy melodies and lashing rhythms invite you to dance into oblivion. Plus növelistic synth sound-carpets that carry one to Heaven. An intensive sound experience that will draw you in – many-layered, full of variety, but in spite of this, so modestly minimal." One copy per purchase and available if bought with a Galakthorrö CD.

Subliminal - Gracebudd (Galakthorrö)
Ridiculously overlooked project that perfectly matches the label's roster while adding its own distinct characteristics to it. Gracebudd is the sound of muffled cries, gasps for air, tape hiss and distant screams modulated by undulating low-end pulses. The result has a deranged autistic appeal to it.

Subliminal - Coping (Galakthorrö)
Second full-length album from Albert Fisch and just as cryptically spiteful as the first one, if not more. The label's signature analog electronics compact Subliminal's machine noise and aggressive vocals into a stark and focused charge of pure hatred, the sort not heard of on Galakthorrö since Blut. Beautifully ugly.

Subliminal - Look At The Creation (Galakthorrö)
It's been already 3 years since Subliminal last released "Coping", but at least we now have the 4 tracks on this 7" to follow up on that. Raw, poisonous power electronics with Albert Fisch's signature mangled vocals. One copy per buyer and only available if bought with a Galakthorrö CD.

Various Artists - Kosmoloko (Galakthorrö)
Celebrating the 10th birthday of Galakthorrö, this compilation brings together two new and exclusive tracks from Haus Arafna, November Növelet, Subliminal, Karl Runau and newcomer Maska Genetik.
