    Kraschau – Travail, Famille, Patrie

    enero 7, 2025

    Kraschau – Travail, Famille, Patrie
    Label: Gradual Hate Records – GH 157 TAPE
    Format: Cassette, Album, Limited Edition 50 Copies 
    Style: Neofolk, Military, Industrial, Ambient, Martial Industrial

    After 10 years, here’s the new EP and sound from Kraschau which tries to define 20’s martial industrial music. Fits well to this decade of madness and degradation of the remnats of European culture: it’s dark, chaotic and mechanic. Following the path started on the last, 2014 album, it’s now completely sample-based, presenting new techinques backed by tousands of short samples and loops, creating a very dense, multi-layered, massive sound going back to the roots of the martial industrial genre, inspired by bands like Der Blutharsch or Les Joyaux de la Princesse. Yet it still presents glorius, neoclassical and calm ambient passages as a slight glimmer of hope. Originally started as a tribute EP to LJDLP, by recreating tracks from ‘Aux petits Enfants de France’, but going deeper into the history and audio documents of Vichy France, and being astonished by that era, enough inspiration gained for an original work (but keeping references to LJDLP).

    And so, this EP is a tribute to 1940-1944 France and Marshal Philipe Pétain. While the everyday politics of his government was described by the commotion of either accepting or opposing the german regime, the ideology of Pétain, a devout catholic was spectacular. He wanted to overthrow modernism, and the ideology of the French Revolution and republicanism, he replaced the infamous masonic slogan to «Labor, Family and Fatherland» and wanted to restore the position of the Catholic Church and the aristocracy. Gaining power from his spirit, we try to fight against modernism and nowadays madness with this short release.

    Kaschau – Travail, Famille, Patrie, will soon be available in only three versions: Digital, Cassette version and Special Edition (contents still to be specified)

    Digital version:

    Tracklist:

    The limited cassette edition with an alternate tracklist is a real collectors gem for the most devout followers.

Furthermore, two studio outtakes were added from the recording sessions, which were not used on the final EP (including a Les Joyaux de la Princesse cover), and two ultra rare, remastered early Kraschau tracks.

    Last Dominion Lost ‎– Abomination Of Desolation

    septiembre 8, 2025

    Last Dominion Lost ‎– Abomination Of Desolation

    Label: The Epicurean ‎– cure.15, La Esencia ‎– LER017/2017
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Europe
    Released: 23 Oct 2017
    Style: Industrial, Experimental

    Last Dominion Lost has existed since 1992, formed out of the ashes of Merge (a project created by Dominik Guerin, founding member of SPK, and Jon Evans). With the inclusion of John Murphy (ex-SPK, Whitehouse, Current 93, Death in June), the transition was complete. In April of 1992 the recording sessions for what was to become „The Tyranny of Distance“ began (released on Germany’s Tesco Records). 16 years later, the opportunity arose to reform the slumbering project. With the welcome addition of Ash Wednesday (Crashlands, Einstürzende Neubauten) and Julian Percy (Ratbag) initial recordings and rehearsals began in May of 2008. In November of 2015 Till Brüggemann (Gerechtigkeits Liga, Krank) joined LDL.

    Desolation: total, utter, without remit. Departure, loss, absence, yawning valleys of noise. The overture moans from the terminal ward. The humiliation of the cadaver, the scouring of abandoned houses and rubbish heaps, a planet blasted by the fruits of hubris. The last sigh of bathos: “It is finished“.

    Such is the subject matter and sentiment of this follow-up to the much acclaimed albums “Snowdrops From A Curate’s Garden“ and „Towers of Silence“ which put Last Dominion Lost firmly on the throne of post-industrial music. “Abomination of Desolation” is consistent with their development into a dark and profound direction, and yet saturated with the noise and feedback that taps deep into the genre’s conscience: Metallic percussion and the screams of terror, ritual chants and anxious atmospheres, all used and abused in order to create the most accurate soundtrack of desolation.

    By the fans, “Abomination of Desolation” will be met with mixed feelings – as recordings began with John Murphy in 2015 and through his untimely death that year had to be finished without him, the acknowledged grandsigneur of post-industrial music. The album’s theme and musical approach were originally intended by John for a KRANK release: An electronic album, reflecting on John’s experiences when he was first hospitalized, comatose, and hooked to a breathing machine which was constantly creating bizarre sounds.

    The result stands as a brief and concise display of the group’s ability to create an unmistakable old school sound with contemporary production value. The album runs for ten tracks clocking in less than 40 minutes total and features new member Till Brüggemann (Gerechtigkeits Liga), as well as guests Nikolas Schreck, Lori Goldston and John Murphy’s beloved wife Annie Stubbs among others. With a firm electronic/analogue backbone, a delicate contrast of percussions of various origins and uncanny vocals, this is a truly dark affair, and while towards the end of the journey some more aggravating feedback loops crawl in, it never gets upfront aggressive.

    With the crisp mastering job of Hunter Barr it is safe to say that “Abomination of Desolation” will not lag behind its predecessors at all, but forge their deserved status as genre icons.

    Anemone Tube / Post Scriptvm ‎– Litaniæ Mortuorum Discordantes

    septiembre 7, 2025

    Anemone Tube / Post Scriptvm ‎– Litaniæ Mortuorum Discordantes
    Label: La Esencia ‎–cure.11
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered
    Country: Spain
    Released: 19 Dec 2016
    Style: Dark Ambient, Industrial, Abstract, Experimental

    CD comes in full color cardboard sleeve and white offset paper cardboard slipcase with golden typography, including a 4-page booklet. Limited edition of 144 copies, hand numbered

    For lovers of soul-shredding funeral music built on dissonance / Triggering spiritual delight / Intended for church performance

    Under the headline “Litaniæ Mortuorum Discordantes” Anemone Tube and Post Scriptvm present a collaborative album with a truly unique concept: Originally applied to a particular style of ancient ritual music, in the Classical era the term Litaniæ Mortuorum Discordantes attained a negative connotation and was used to criticize those compositions – which, instead of instilling listeners with the desired pious euphoria, incriminated them with a sense of dread, existential anxiety, feelings of
    death and decay. Finding this aesthetic choice to be most appropriate for the present era, the two post-industrial projects attempted to create their own “Discordant Death Litanies” for the XXI century.

    The idea is culled from a semi-fictional biography of Johann Sebastian Bach, written by a 19th century Russian author. In the chapter describing Bach‘s childhood and early education, his older brother – who was also his music teacher and mentor – dissuades him from composing those “Litaniæ Mortuorum Discordantes” as they dangerously steer the Christian liturgy into a “wrong” direction of primordial chaos. In reality Bach never dealt with such dark notions, but created the most versatile and accomplished musical glorifications of the Christian god ever composed.

    Yet tempted by the imagination of real “Litaniæ Mortuorum Discordantes”, Anemone Tube and Post Scriptvm stage a linear, gradually unfolding “oratorio” which begins with layers of lush brass synths resounding a time and place enveloped in ancient mythical beauty. The pristine serenity, however, slowly deteriorates through the influx of anguish, social decay and profanity. Raw field recordings, throbbing electronics, metallic tremors, distant voices and chants portrait a life of numbness and confusion, where man – tormented by ignorance, ignoble desires and anger – has become a plaything of insane “Weltanschauungen” and the commercialization plague. In a world where spirituality is reduced to rituals of sadness, the prophetic – and confirmed – certitude that the end of civilization is close at hand prevails.

    Composed, recorded, edited and mixed by Anemone Tube 2013–2016, with field recordings made in Kyoto, Nanjing and Shanghai, 2007/2009 and synthesizer. Gong sounds and additional samples on Irruption of the Whore by Post Scriptvm, 2013. For Ola.

    Buried in Fabula
    Dark and Nameless Gods
    Laterne D’Horreur
    Composed, recorded, edited and mixed by Post Scriptvm in Trepan Studios, Brooklyn, NY, USA, 2014–2015.

    Mastered by Hunter Barr, 2016.

    Anemone Tube ‎– The Three Worlds – Vanity Of Allegory

    Anemone Tube ‎– The Three Worlds – Vanity Of Allegory
    Label: The Epicurean ‎– cure.19, La Esencia ‎– LER020/2017
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Europe
    Released: 23 Oct 2017
    Style: Dark Ambient, Experimental, Industrial

    Far reaching pleasures will be at hand – Anemone Tube reveals a series of three CDs entitled “The Three Worlds: Allegory of Vanity / Forget Heaven / Vanity of Allegory”, referencing a cosmological treatise on the universe from the Theravada Buddhism of the 14th century, the subject matter of which is the description of three levels of existence of all beings and mythical creatures.

    This extensive retrospective release contains selected tracks from various tapes released between 1997 and 1999 – mostly rare and unavailable today – as well as yet unreleased tracks recorded between 1997 and 2013, a.o. outtakes from the “Death Over China” recordings, handpicked and recontextualized by Anemone Tube, representing the project’s roughest and most atmospheric material up to date, ranging from depressive ritual experimental ambient over dark rhythmic industrial soundscapes to whirlwind noise. Sharply mastered by Hunter Barr for a powerful, contemporary sound, each CD comes in a 6-panel digifile featuring beautiful photography by Dario Lehner and is available as single CD as well as a limited edition 3 CD set in a lavish slipcase with poster, sticker and patch.

    “The Three Worlds” is a work about transience on many levels, perfectly elucidated in the Buddhist Sutra “Far Reaching Pleasures”, “The three worlds are transient like clouds in autumn / Birth and death of all beings unfold like a dance / Their lives rush away like a mountain stream / Vanish like lightning in the sky”, which serves as the contextual framework for the CD series and is translated in the most beautiful and poetic fashion with three painstakingly arranged photographic scenes based on vanitas symbolism of old masters’ paintings.

    The object photograph “Vanity of Allegory” plays with the dissolution of all phenomena, the transience of all things, all allegories, featuring an extinguished candle, jewellery – and the artist himself, vacuously pointing his finger a skull laughing at the spectator from the mirror. All that is combined with poetry suggesting the dissolution of the ego, seemingly closing the circle. Besides collected tracks from old and recent cassette releases and compilations, this also features three unreleased tracks from the “Death Over China” recordings and therefore represents the newest cut from the trilogy and thus musically bridge
