    Lasse Marhaug ‎– White Inferno 

    septiembre 11, 2017

    Lasse Marhaug ‎– White Inferno
    Label: Old Captain ‎– OCCD31, Narcolepsia ‎– narco076
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Digipak
    Country: Ukraine, Portugal
    Released: July 2017
    Style: Noise

    During a hellish blizzard in the winter of 1996 Norwegian noise artist Lasse Marhaug locks himself up in his home studio in Trondheim and records the harshest noise of his life. Marhaug’s attempt to obliterate the arctic climate with total sonic destruction fails, but the recorded onslaught results in the “White Inferno” cassette, released on Macronympha’s Mother Savage Noise Productions label. The material reflects Marhaug’s modus operandi at the time: dense analogue tape overload, and could be seen as a more bloody-minded sister-release to his better known “Science Fiction Room Service” album of the same year. Fast forward 21 years and Ukrainian Old Captain Records ask Marhaug to dig out the original master tapes from his mouldy archives and remaster it for a CD release. In the process an obscure piece recorded at the same sessions surfaces, previously issued on an Ecuadorian compilation cassette, but included here as a bonus. So if you wanted to know what Norwegian noise music sounded like 20+ years ago, here it is: “White Inferno”, remastered to maximum volume for a new generation of music fans to endure and enjoy. Co-produced with Portuguese finest label, Narcolepsia. 300 copies in a 6-panel uncoated Digipak.

    Released: 01 Oct 2015
    Style: Industrial, Noise

    “The whole history of mankind is a prolonged history of a living matter that, by the Creator’s will, acquired an ability to think, but that did not know what to do with this fatal ability. It could not find any better use for this ability than invention of the most effective ways of global suicide”.

    The apocalypse created by the mankind’s own hands is the main idea of the debut album “Fate” (“Участь”) of a side project POTERNA by Shilov, the leader of martial/neofolk duet ORDER OF VICTORY. Sounds recorded in steel and forge plants of different industrial enterprises, as well as samples from movies, were used for recording of this album.

    Sound production and mastering by Antuan Graftio (THEORY, SACRIS TANDEM, CONJUNCTURE).
    Design by The Temple of Theturham

    The album is released as 6-band card-sleeve CD with a pennant card. Album edition is 260 hand-numbered copies.

    Khost ‎– Governance

    julio 18, 2017

    Khost ‎– Governance
    Label: Cold Spring ‎– CSR237CD
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: UK
    Released: 05 Jun 2017
    Style: Doom Metal, Industrial

    “Governance” continues KHOST‘s immersion in themes of detachment and dissonance, and ruminates upon the exertion of wills that are not your own, and upon the ways to detect and trace the outlines of the presence(s) that may exert these daily wills upon you, day by day. It was written over the course of the 2016/17 Winter, during times of unease and sickness for the band, including one near-death experience. The resulting album is a hinterland of low resolution transmissions interspersed with broad concrete columns of distortion that loom suddenly from the dim landscape. Governance is like driving at night with your spirituality asleep at the wheel.

    With demoralizing vocal terror, hypnotic nightmarescapes, frost-encrusted tones, and horrifying rhythms, KHOST’s Governance devastates the listener with nearly fifty minutes of entrancing yet hazardous tectonic doom-laced revulsion. Features guest appearances from Eugene Robinson (OXBOW), and Jo Quail, and includes a remix of the track ‘Coven’ by Tel Aviv artist Adrian Stainburner.
