Degeneral - After The World (Zhelezobeton)
First official release from this Siberian project, based in the city of Kemerovo. A potential soundtrack to frozen lunar colonies, their autonomous machines and the desolate surroundings. Monotonous and truly ambient moments are to be found here along with thunderous saturated electrical discharges.
(CD-R, foil-covered outer sleeve, semi-transparent inner sleeve, out of stock)

Erthad - Gma (Zhelezobeton)
Active since the late 90's but without any official releases until now, Erthad's first output on physical format is the sort of obscure discovery from the Russian scene that makes Zhelezobeton a reliable source for new releases that go beyond what's already established or tamed by familiarity. Recorded in 2002 using processed voices and software synthesizers, "Gma" compiles 6 tracks of serene yet expansive robotic meditations, at times approaching some form of mantras for nano-technological organisms. Soothing but not ambient in nature, the closest comparison I can think of would be another Zhelezobeton act (Degeneral) crossed over with Sshe Retina Stimulants, but that's still not close enough to what can be found here.

Forma4 - Cycle (DTA Records)
2002 release on the now defunct DTA Records label. Forma4 is Vladimir Dronov, and "Cycle" combines uneasy atmospheres, drowsy drones and subtle rhythm programming to create something not too dissimilar from some early Reutoff material.

Hated Bruit Kollektiv - Aktion One (New Nihilism)
Hated Bruit Kollektiv is the name for the ephemeral collaborative project between Rafal Sadej (Moan) and Tomasz Twardawa (Genetic Transmission), two of Poland's better artists operating in the post-industrial domain. This release captures their live performance at the 2007 Bez Kontroli Festival, and it's presented here in the shape of 37-min stream-of-consciousness maelstrom of whirring, clanging and heavily textured noise. Not the "harsh noise" pedal mashing variety that is, this is much more atmospheric and shifting in nature, with certain moments bringing to mind the more subdued material they release under their own main projects.
(Pro-printed CD-R in folded A2 poster sleeve, $9.00)

Hermann Kopp - Nekronology (Red Stream)
Label info: "Nekronology is a compilation of mournful musical selections from director Jorg Buttgereit's infamous films, Nekromantik, Nekromantik 2, and Der Todesking. The tracks contained on this release were performed by artist Hermann Kopp. The idea behind the music was to create a dreary atmosphere through a raw, ritualistic sound. You can hear Kopp's signature violin groans, and Moog synthesizer during scenes such as the bathtub suicide, the rabbit being skinned alive, and the necrophilia sequences. Co-released with underground splatter mag, Ultra Violent."
(CD, jewel case, to be restocked soon)

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.

Hinageshi Bondage - Pariisi Vuonna 1959 (Nihil Market)
Strange and often sparse experimental noise from Finland. Turntable sounds, high-end tones and rhythmic loops are used on the noisier tracks, while some interludes are provided in the shape of bass-heavy drones.

Hollowing & Maor Appelbaum - Collaborating Torture (Topheth Prophet / Heart & Crossbone)
One monolithic 54 min track of spectral ambience courtesy of Israeli musician Maor Appelbaum (Poochlatz, Vultures) and the late Matt Gibney (AKA Hollowing, So I Had To Shoot Him and owner of the Rectrix label). Those of you who picked up his collaboration with Chaos as Shelter which we released back in 2005 should definitely look into this.

Hollydrift - Waiting For The Tiller (Parasomnic Records)
Hollydrift is Wisconsin-based Mathias Anderson's experimental sound project. "Waiting for the Tiller" is his first proper CD release if I'm not mistaken, and it's a finely crafted piece of work with a high level of attention paid to detail. The ten tracks here often work as collage pieces, with field recordings of all sorts (number stations, answering machine messages, nonsensical vocal snippets) mingling with radiant droning loops and sedated noise outbursts.
