Niellerade Fallibilisthorstar - Skrankverk (Dystonia EK)
New album from this Swedish band whose previous one was released on SNSE. Clanging, scraping and squeaking metal resonates over the hum of flooded machine rooms and the gas bursts from rusting pneumatic tubes. This is the sound of toiling poltergeists, endlessly repeating the rituals of an industrial wasteland's cargo cult.

Nimh / Nefelheim - Whispers From The Ashes (Weird Amplexus)
Label info: "Ideally inspired by the Inquisition era, like some titles of the tracks may suggest, "Whispers from the Ashes" presents Nimh (Giuseppe Verticchio) and Nefelheim joined together for the production of a dark oriented CD that alternates obscure and haunting atmospheres with more gloomy and sometimes dramatic and highly evocative episodes... In a blend of low frequencies, metallic sounds, echoes of distant voices and human screams, whispers, concrete noises, ritual processions, suddenly an acoustic guitar chord, some reverberate piano notes, the sound of falling rain, bits of thundering percussions emerge... Like in a disquieting voyage to a far away past, in a stakes and witches age, featuring persecutions of heretics and superstition... A wonderful trip in vein of Raison D'Etre and Cold Meat sounds."

O Paradis - La Boca Del Infernio (Punch Records)
"Hell's Mouth" stares at you on the cover of this new release from O Paradis, and the 10 tracks are a suitably infernal mix of seductive beauty and blackened ugliness. The gentle Mediterranean guitars are present as before, but dirtied by plaintive looped noises and a taste for the dissonant. Quite likely the most experimental work by O Paradis so far, one on which he bares himself in more ways than one.

O Paradis - Las Nubes que Mueren (Punch Records)
2CD compilation of previously abandoned and unreleased tracks and demos from past recording sessions. While this sort of exercise usually gathers leftovers that prove only interesting to completists, O Paradis' level of work makes this collection a release that can definitely stand on its own merit.

Overdose Kunst - Was ist Overdose Kunst (Zhelezobeton)
Label info: "The Japanese duet Overdose Kunst exists since 2001 and records a strange sort of music which they call "schizopoetry". Rejection of stylistic norms in the name of sound-craft freedom, deconstruction and irrational re-assemblage of musical material - that's what stands behind this term. This approach allows them to keep a child's purity and frankness in musical perception with the ability to send an emotional charge without using settled compositional forms. This disc includes the most song-like tracks of the band: crookedly recorded guitars, voices emotionally singing some nonsense in a mixture of several languages, and reversed melodies. Fine and lyrical post-rock from Japanese experimental underground."

Panicsville - Sterile (Nihilist)
This is one visit to the hospital that'll have you calling for a nurse in no time, only to regret it as soon as she walks in. Starting off with the appropriately titled "Flatline", the release shifts from sedated bouts of hazy creepiness to cut-up noise aneurysms. Musique concrete, field recordings, ambient and noise all become stainless-steel instruments in the hands of Panicsville, and right now it's time for your shot. Features an exclusive video from the "Stabbed in the Face" sessions by Chicago underground film-maker, Usama Alshaibi.

Panicsville - Evil? (Nihilist)
Panicsville's 4th album and the most rhythm-oriented one so far, with plenty of Casio rhythms and arpeggiated synth
lines to shake a SK-1 at. Toss in a copious amount of found sounds and effects, some swirling feedback noise and a couple of creepy lullabies and you're almost there. Includes an amusingly jarring cover of "Video Killed the Radio Star".The CD comes with a booklet between two wood panels held together by binder clips.

Panicsville - Perverse (Liquid Death / Hello Pussy)
Released in 2004, "Perverse" is another stroll into the happily deranged world of Panicsville. It's a somewhat noisier affair than its direct parent "Sterile", but it does keep the latter's taste for twisted sonic collages, diseased atmospheres and pulsating electronic howls. this is like dumpster-diving into surreal nightmares, and what you'll scrounge up will leave you with a black-toothed grin.

Shinjuku Thief - Sacred Fury (Fin de Siècle Media)
Label info: "Darrin Verhagen on his latest release re-embraces all the dramatic theatricality his Shinjuku Thief project is best known for.
Hovering midway between gothic orchestral horror and contemporary cinematic narrative, "Sacred Fury" presents us with a score from the midst of judgment. Reflective cinematic odes are strafed by brutal sound design, whilst elsewhere, bombastic homages to In Slaughter Natives pound out a march to the apocalypse in 31 beats.
This is the quintessential soundtrack for when all your best military plans turn to shit in your hands, and each new oncoming palletload of reason, ideology and faith seems more combustible than the last."

Shumy Rossii - Nevidimost (BioSonar)
Label info: "Shumy Rossii (aka Les Bruits Russes) is a unique project on Russian post-industrial scene. To create their music they don't use any instruments except for voices of their vocalists. The main method of sound-expressing is perfectly executed collage technique. This CD contains the recording of live show, being held in the city of Obninsk in April 2003."
