Ad Lux Tenebrae - Зов Предков (Vegvisir)
First revealed with an impressive CDR on Abgurd back in 2006 which was followed by a collaboration CD with fellow Russians Closing The Eternity, Ad Lux Tenebrae returns with this album that captures two long ritual sessions performed in 2004 and 2008. The flowing drones and hand-drumming are layered with the distant howls of flutes, horns and ghostly voices, conjuring the sort of atavistic incantations you'd find on Aural Hypnox and Vetvei releases. To paraphrase a part of the label's press release in Russian, this is music that is not "disfigured by the influence of civilization".

Aere Aeternus - Humanity Needs No Funeral (Kaosthetik Konspiration)
Label info: "'Humanity Needs No Funeral', the first full-length album from AERE AETERNUS, was released on the French label Kaosthetik. With a multi-national and eclectic lineup, the band comprises Alex (MACABRE OMEN, THE ONE, RAZOR OF OCCAM), Claudio Alcara (FROSTMOON ECLIPSE, STROSZEK), Cyr (DARK SANCTUARY, ELKTRONIK SCIETY) and Radu. [...]
The dominant atmosphere combines a sense of impending insanity with sexual deviancy and a large dollop of occultism, creating a dark and troubling misanthropic sojourn that is relatively unique. [...] The accompanying video of 'Invocation' shows a Satanic ritual in all its kitschy glory."

Cataclyst - Monuments Of A Rubicund Age (Zhelezobeton / Tantric Harmonies)
Label info: "A strange project that for a moment united Peter Andersson (raison d'Etre) and Johanna Rosenqvist (ex-Institut, Koeff) in the distant 1992. Cataclyst's music combines the melancholic beauty of early Raison D'Etre and Necrophorus, the harsh industrial rhythms of Institut and tribal-elements of another undeservingly forgotten project of Peter - Svasti-Ayanam... What makes this product differ from other works of the Swedish industrial scene is the atmosphere of remote fairy worlds in which you smoothly sink into while listening to "Monuments of a Rubicund Age". Peter and Johanna have woven an infinite labyrinth of mirages, walking through which will be a pleasant surprise for both the fans of ambient / experimental / industrial and more conservative gothic lovers. [...]"

Chaos as Shelter - Dawn Syndrome (Topheth Prophet)
Label info: "Recorded in 2001 and dedicated to the end of Kali Yuga, the age of iron, which is the final and most negative of four evolutionary Yugic cycles, the end of the world, and the dawn of a new golden age - Sataya Yuga (the age of purity). Dawn Syndrome is an eight-track composition of ritual dark ambient crafted in the skillful way Chaos as Shelter is known for. [...] Dawn Syndrome was recorded at new jerusalem studios and Chaos As Shelter was supported by Vera Agnivolok , Helena Dorsht and an accidentally obtained presto home recorded vinyl disc."

Cloama & Blutleuchte - From Wasteland Mausoleums (New Old Sentinel)
Stunning collaboration release between those two Finnish projects. Cloama's lurch towards more experimental sounds from its power electronics / noise beginnings is further emphasized by Die Blutleuchte's contributions, and this release effortlessly shifts from post-apocalyptic mantras to doom jazz dirges, with distorted guitar melodies and bleak atmospheres thrown in between. Scrapyard shamanism at its best. On a side-note, be sure to also look into Die Blutleuchte's "Rus", a sonic overview of Russian military history.
(CD, clear jewel case with UV-coated 8-page booklet, to be restocked soon)

Cloama & Die Blutleuchte - Cloama & Die Blutleuchte (Anima Arctica)
CD reprint of the 2005 collaboration CD-R originally released by New Old Sentinel. If the psychedelic industrial / baroque experimental nature of their other release together ("From Wasteland Mausoleums") caught your attention, you will not want to miss this. Incantations for the twilight hours. Yog-Sothoth is the key.

Contemplatron - Antarabhava / The Six Realms (Wrotycz Records)
Label info: "The Sanskrit word "Antarabhăva" means "the intermediate state" and in particular refers to the state between death and the moment of the next birth. This is the sonic journey of the soul wandering through the nooks of other worlds. The second part describes the six realms which, according to the Buddhist tradition, symbolize six destructive emotions: ignorance, hatred, enslaving desire, jealousy, pride and greed. [...]"

Contemplatron - Delog (Wrotycz Records)
Sophomore release from this Polish dark ambient project strongly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. The Tibetan word Delog refers to one who has crossed the threshold of death and returned to tell about it. 45 minutes of serene compositions and ritualistic instrumentations, with an overall tone that would fit somewhere between Exotoendo and Herbst9.
