Nordvargr / Drakh – Northern Dark Supremacy Label: Infinite Fog Productions – IF-62 Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition Country: Russia Released: 01 Oct 2017 Style: Black Metal, Dark Ambient, Industrial
«Northern Dark Supremacy» was the first collaboration between Henrik Bjorkk and Jonas Aneheim in the framework of Nordvargr / Drakh, only 5 albums were released by this band, the last one in 2008. Thus, this reissue is the first activity of the duo for almost ten years, we can speak about conditional activity since the re-release contains also exclusive material.
«Massive and ugly-gloomy landscapes of the true atmosphere of black metal from the founders of the already legendary Swedish industrial scene. The ghouls, groans, and voices of the united forces of death trapped in the underground cells of Bohult. Attention – this can be dangerous for your health! No jokes, no hopes …
Einstürzende Neubauten – Fünf Auf Der Nach Oben Offenen Richterskala Label: POTOMAK c 1987 / p 2002 Format: CD, Album, Reissue Country: UK Released: 2006 Style: Industrial, Experimental
Newly won and improved subtlety replaces the spontaneous distractedness and the destructional madness of former days – with their fourth studio album released in 1987, the Berlin noise artists of the Einstürzende Neubauten went back to the legendary Hansa-Studio, and with the help of the producer-icon Gareth Jones they arrived at the boundaries of acoustic feasibilities once again. For the first time, Blixa Bargeld and Co. placed their bets on their ideas about beautiful sound, integrating genuine string instruments into their songs and consequently unsettling a whole genre once more! The omnipresent aggressiveness, practiced almost excessively before, gives way to a disrupted, deceptive and unpredictable quiet, which is borne in songs such as “Zerstörte Zelle,” “Morning Dew” or the extremely characteristic and programmatic “Keine Schönheit ohne Gefahr.” As a consequence even the detested Arts & Culture pages became aware of the walled city curiosity that had only been smiled at up until then. A significant album for music history and a milestone of industrial music!
REDVCI – Sprezzante Adunata Di Noi, Ultimi Indomiti Label: Perimetros, PR 144 CD 103 Format: CD, Compilation Country: Italy Released: 2025 Style: Electronic, Experimental, metal, Punk, Disco, Rome
REDVCI: un’adunata di artisti liberi, sprezzanti dell’oggi ma senza età; puntellatori di memoria, ma anche pionieri dei suoi più pindarici lasciti.
“Su non fraintendibile appello degli ideatori, fondatori e organizzatori, Yorga (ex Aborym – Boslide) e G/Ab Volgar (leader dei Deviate Damaen), i più indomiti nomi della musica estrema italiana si sono raccolti attorno a un progetto discografico stabile e militante, intenzionato tanto a ostentare la più schierata appartenenza ideale, quanto a strafottersene di censure e ricatti propri del declino creativo da vomito in atto.
Con simili premesse, non è stato difficile avvistarsi e contarsi fra spiriti eretti, in una porcilaia di gobbi pronati al conformismo dell’algoritmo e di sorridenti questuanti col palmo teso a pietire pass sanitari e inclusioni alla cipria.
Un setaccio artistico e umano tradottosi, nel lasso d’un tintinnar di calici, in collettivo musicale dal piglio autarchico e consociativo, moltiplicatore di idee, strumenti, energie e soluzioni tecniche, stante un ambito musicale miserrimo e riprogrammato per isolare i migliori e favorire i mediocri. L’ignavia non sarà il nostro forte; la strafottenza, piuttosto. E la gloria, soprattutto.”
