Halo Manash - Syoma (Aural Hypnox)
Label info: "Halo Manash's third full-length album offers both minimalistic and complex material mainly created via acoustic instrumentation. The ritualistic / electro-acoustic soundscape is based on dark and hypnotic sample textures, evolving guitar drones, dynamic ritual-percussions & reverberating gongs/chimes/bells, chanting vocalizations, various windbones / experimental instruments and analog synthesizers."
(CD, in 6-panel cardboard package, $15.50)

Halo Manash - Language of Red Goats (Aural Hypnox)
New 2008 release from Aural Hypnox's spearhead project. "Language of Red Goats" sets aside the intricate textures of previous releases for a stripped-down and primal approach, relying mostly on reverberating gongs, bells and various acoustic sounds to form the backbone of this album. In lesser hands, this could be a recipe for dull listening, but the 3 long flowing tracks presented here make for an absorbing session of ritualistic music done right.

Henrik Nordvargr Bjorkk - The Dead Never Sleep (Old Europa Cafe)
Subterranean black ambient from this prolific Swedish artist also responsible for Folkstorm, MZ.412 and Toroidh. Much more minimal than the recent release on Essence Music, with more emphasis on soothing low-end frequencies that massage their way into your ears.

Inade - Aldebaran (Cold Spring)
Label info: "The masters of Black Ambient! "Aldebaran" is the black sun of the secret knowledge. This work focuses on the German Vril society myths of 'Aldebaran', from which universal spirituality is said to originate. One hour of immense walls of dark, brooding atmospherics, pulsating anthems of the universal power, mixed with themes of heritage and history. The ultimate document of deep and cavernous dark ambient."

Lebenswelt - Lebenswelt (R.A.I.G.)
Introspective and somewhat cinematic dark ambient with industrial undertones from this Moscow trio. While nothing initially stands out to accustomed ears, the album's variety and efficiency make this the sort of release that will grow on you should you give it a chance.
(CD, cardboard folder with 6-page booklet, out of stock)

Luasa Raelon - Into The Void (Crucial Bliss)
Label info: "Finally, after a pronounced delay, we're presenting the latest in grim, Cthulhian ambient death from David Reed, the man behind the Snip-Snip CD-R label and the ice-drones of Envenomist. With Luasa Raelon, Reed uses deep-frozen synthesizers and electronics to construct pitch-black sonic sculptures that evoke lost cities carved from obsidian whose masterless machines have been left to grind on into eternity, or descents into stygian pits whose bottoms cannot be gauged. Into The Void is the newest masterwork from Reed, recorded in 2006 and presented here as a five-chapter narrative that chronicles a doomed space exploration, where all that is left are the faint transmissions of apocalyptic dread drifting back at us through time. Beyond ominous, and gorgeously eerie, Reed continues to craft some of the blackest, heaviest drift this side of Gruntsplatter, Troum, Lull, Yen Pox, Melek-Tha, Lustmord, and Megaptera. [...]"
