Internal Fusion - Tribute To Hastia (Lucioléditions)
With a sparse discography on Désaccord Majeur, Staalplaat and various Taalem-related labels, Internal Fusion has become mostly known for its sound somewhere between Rapoon and Muslimgauze, with various sorts of percussions providing a rhythmical backdrop to most of its work. This new release however definitely moves away from that area and towards minimalist dark ambient, with deep low-end pulses and restrained drones becoming the main driving force for the 6 long tracks gathered here. That said, they're composed with enough imagination and grace so as to remain worthy of attention and not an exercise in reverb-drenched nothingness. Quality stuff.
(CD, transparent slim DVD case, $16.00)

Irmologion - Dynatos (R.A.I.G.)
Electro-acoustic and ritualistic ambient with Orthodox thematic influences. A less sinister sermon than their previous self-titled album, but distilled from the same essence.

Isolrubin BK - Crash Injury Trauma (Soleilmoon)

Kshatriy - Slepok Soznaniya (Muzyka Voln)
First CD from this Russian project that started out in 2004 and whose collaboration album with Vresnit and compilation appearance on "Muzyka Voln" are definitely solid material. "Slepok Sonzaniya" (meaning "a mould of consciousness" in Russian) forges a bio-mechanical sonic construction from synthesized drones, slow chugging rhythmic loops and treated field recordings, in a manner that brings to mind a more organic version of "The Crackling of the Anonymous"-era Inade. Dense, telluric drones for the age of Kali Yuga.

Land:Fire - Shortwave Transmission (Power & Steel)
Follow-up album to 2004's "Physical : Mental : Psychological" released on Tesco Organisation, this new album from Herbst9's more technologically oriented twin project provides the perfect soundtrack to the military industrial complex with its array of menacing rhythms, electromagnetic waves, radio communications and glowing harmonic drones. Think of Bad Sector's "The Harrow" but as engineered and constructed by defense contractors. Reliably stunning work.

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)

Legion - Zodiac (Auf Abwegen)
Label info: "New release by the master of dark ambient, Andrew Lagowski. He has worked with Lustmord, Isolrubin BK and Terror Against Terror in the past and his other projects include S.E.T.I. and Lagowski. Zodiac is a study into the depths of human misery - haunting and fearsome."
(CD, clear jewel case, out of stock)

Luasa Raelon - Season of the Witch (Snip-Snip)
Monumental synth doom from Ohio's Luasa Raelon, headed by David Reed of Snip-Snip Records. While a number of past Luasa Raelon releases had noisier industrial leanings to them, these 5 tracks of lush and sinister ambient are closer to his work as Envenomist. Most definitely recommended.

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. [...]"
