    /// SOLD OUT ///

    With this new album, Kazeria gathers a retrospective and very personal material. All tracks (or “explorations”) are unedited and they were recorded between 2003-2007, pretty earlier to the formation of the project and on “a troubled personal time; one of militant nihilism” according to [S] own words. Neither hi-tech nor hi-fi were used in here.

    Back at that time [S] employed worn and minimal gear, using primitive recording technics (hand-manipulation, mostly) in order to create “old school” and minimalistic industrial, black / dark ambient and noise but including many elements that can be recognized on Kazeria´s later works.

    Nordvargr ‎– The Secret Barbarous Names

    abril 3, 2017

    Nordvargr ‎– The Secret Barbarous Names
    Label: Malignant Records ‎– TUMORCD102
    Format: CD, EP, Reissue
    Country: US
    Released: 20 Jan 2017
    Style: Dark Ambient

    Active since the late ‘80s as a member of MZ.412 and Pouppée Fabrikk, few names within the realm of dark industrial and blackened ambient carry more weight and presence than Sweden’s mighty Nordvargr. Though side projects Muskel and Körperwelten have been released on Malignant, The Secret Barbarous Names is the first solo recording done for the label, and Nordvargr’s first physical release since 2013’s The Dromopoda Transmissions on Old Europa Café.

    A vocal based work inspired by the Draconian and Typhonian traditions, the title refers to the hidden meanings of the countless manuscripts that have been kept secret for millennia – their supposed effectiveness resting in their utterance, not their meaning. The words of power, vibrated at the correct frequency and amplitude in the correct setting and time, have the power to manifest anything. As such, these are an incredibly haunting and formidable invocations, built upon richly timbered, incantatory vocals and deep, liturgical chants, and occasionally augmented by ominous orchestral swell and ritual percussion. All of it is endlessly stretched out into lightless passages of primordial malevolence and suffocating dread, completing an album that will stand out as a highlight, even within such a lofty and illustrious discography as Nordvargr’s. Lavishly packaged in a digipak designed by Margaux Renaudin (Anima Nostra).

    Phragments ‎– All Towers Must Fall

    abril 1, 2017

    Phragments ‎– All Towers Must Fall
    Label: Malignant Records ‎– TumorCD92, Construct.Destroy.Collective ‎– none
    Format: CD, Album
    Released: 01 Feb 2017
    Style: Dark Ambient

    The all new, fifth full-length album of Phragments is unmistakably dark ambient in nature, yet the overall feeling of the songs is more industrial this time. Moving a step further into harsher territory, “All Towers Must Fall” brings together dark ambience, heavily treated field recordings, classical instruments and also analogue synths, all echoing with orchestral grandeur. Phragments still follow a rather abstract and minimalist path, but this time the compositions have a touch of subtle chaos. With the atmosphere ranging from brooding to menacing, “All Towers Must Fall” is a gripping journey through desolate darkness, a gaze into the endless abyss.
