Silence & Strength - Le Divin Cagliostro (Eastern Front)
Neo-folk and ritualistic ambient from Israel inspired by the Grand Copht, the creator of the Egyptian Rite of Freemasonry. Reminiscent of a much more luminous version of Endura during the more ambient pieces, with the esoteric aspects of Freemasonry replacing Lovecraftian lore as the aesthetic foundation.

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.

Svasti-Ayanam - Sanklesa (Eternal Pride)
Label info: "Svasti-ayanam is Peter Andersson's foray into dark, Tibetan-Nepalese ambience. Andersson is well known for his work as Raison D'etre, Atomine Elektrine etc. In this incarnation, his signature Raison D'etre sound has been modified in an incredibly pronounced, and effective way. Sanklesa is marked by strong tribal rhythms that draw the listener into distant, foreign, ritual soundscapes. Andersson has released a prolific catalog of music, that includes many CD's, limited vinyl and countless compilation appearances. Album includes 2 exclusive bonus-tracks."

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. [...]"

Trepaneringsritualen - Deathward, To The Womb (Release The Bats)
Inspired by the Babalon working conducted by JPL co-founder and occultist Jack Parsons between January and March of 1949. An instant classic of bleak ritual ambient meets sludgy death industrial, the kind few summon this perfectly. The Scarlet Woman awaits. 6 tracks. 275 copies.

Urna - Liber Lelle (Abgurd)
New 2008 release from long-active Italian artist Gianluca Martucci, with a number of past releases on Slaughter Productions. Gradually stepping away from its dank death industrial origins towards more ritualistic and luminous sounds over the years, Urna's new work further confirms this evolution with its compositions of serene acoustic ambient. Bells, cymbals, percussion, mandolin, balalaika, zither, accordion and flutes are woven together into a lustrous tapestry of sound dedicated to the life and death of Angela da Foligno, a Christian author, nun, and mystic. This could easily be a White Magic audio counterpart to Endura's "Black Eden".

Velehentor / Vishudha Kali / Closing The Eternity - Ishopanishad (Vegvisir)
'Ishopanishad' brings together three ritual ambient projects from Russia for what is potentially one of their strongest releases altogether. Inspired by the vedic texts of the Isha Upanishad, the 3 tracks each convey a different stage of the rite. No need for additional wordiness here, this is simply one of the most compelling efforts in this type of music so far.
(CD, folded digisleeve, $14.00, last copy)

Vresnit - Tunvet (Vegvisir)
New album by the head of the Vetvei label, known for its solid roster of shamanistic ambient releases. The 36-min track presented here delves into the same nocturnal and wooded atmospheres explored in his collaborations with Kshatriy and Hladna, where every creak, rustle and echo in the mist conveys the primal forces of nature.
(CD, 6-sided digisleeve, to be restocked soon)
