Simulacrum - Anti Matter Society (Weird Amplexus)

Somnivore - Clergy Of Oneiros (Anima Arctica)
After coming across his collaboration CD-R with Kivelä, the search was on for more material from this new project from Finland. Clergy of Oneiros is the debut CD from Somnivore and has the same ethereal yet richly detailed sound as the above mentioned CD-R, with its meditative drones, ghostly vocals and slightly noisier percussive loops co-existing in a dim and distant state.

Somnivore & Kivelä - Maelström (New Old Sentinel)
Free-form dark ambient from Finland that wouldn't be out of place on the Aural Hypnox roster, even if this does have slightly more industrial than purely ambient undertones.
The mid-range frequencies require a decent pair of headphones to be fully appreciated and the lack of track markers might initially put one off from sitting down for the full 47 minutes, but Maelström is a finely crafted piece of work that renews its sound palette regularly enough to keep your attention throughout its duration. A great pick for those late-night listening sessions.

Tabor Radosti - Lamat (Epidemie)
Czech ritualistic ambient with electronic rhythms and processed vocals that somehow sound like the alien language spoken by the Pharaonic gods in Stargate. Includes three bonus remixes, one of which is by Schloss Tegal. Brings to mind some of the more rhythmical Reutoff tracks at times.
(CD, six-panel digipak, $13.00, last copy)

Tapio Kotkavuori - Terra Hyperborea (Gemina Stella)
Label info: "Musically the artist himself describes Terra Hyperborea as "post-apocalyptic dark-ethno-ambient". Its semi-organic, semi-electric soundspheres are trance-inducing, almost hypnotic, varying from soft mood adjustments to more focused incantations and chants. Kotkavuori's main weapon of choice in this battle against silence is the didgeridoo, but tons of other instruments - such as vocals, rainsticks, shaman drums, coffee maker, synthesizers, kitchen knives etc. - have been used as well. All in all, these recordings create a shamanistic ambiance with a dark twist characteristic to the Left Hand Path. [...]"

The Hollowing / Marspiter - Habashira (Rectrix)
Split release with 4 tracks from the Hollowing and 3 from Marspiter. The former move from cavernous noise ambient to aggressive tribal pieces, while Marspiter sticks to a subterranean form of neoclassical with a restrained and buried sound suitable for the epic movies of yore. A nice combination that covers a fair amount of sonic ground.

Thermidor - 1929 (Brume Records / Thisco)
Debut album from this Portugese dark ambient project, with a penchant for clear synthetic melodies and processed noises and atmospheric effects that brings to mind some First Law albums. Features remixes by Flint Glass and Empusae.
(CD, slim DVD case with a mock mini-newspaper, color insert and two stickers, $13.00, last copy)

V.O.S. - Veil of Secrecy (Triumvirate)
Simple and efficient isolationist music from a Yen Pox member. Brooding synths and heavy reverberation may seem like overused staples of the genre, but this is how it's done in the best of scenarios.
(CD, clear jewel case, out of stock)
