In Search Of Death – II Label: Steinklang Industries – SK149 Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered Country: Europe Released: 11 Feb 2022 Style: Dark Ambient, Industrial
Limited edition of 100 copies, comes 6-panels glossy laminated digipak.
Recorded in 2001/2002 Mastered in 2020 by Peter Andersson (Raison D’Etre)
Even though the material on II dates back 20 years, it in no way feels outdated or outmoded now. The darkly atmospheric, sonically abrasive music is timeless in the way good, classic harsh industrial is.
Recorded in 2001/2002, and now presented with mastering by Peter Andersson (Raison d’Etre etc.), In Search Of Death’s «II» is an album of classical, old school industrial music. Pulsating and throbbing dark synths, powerful percussion and electronic distortion are balanced by the occasional passage of bright, harmonious synths – which never entirely manage to wash away the sense of deep unease and lingering dread that permeates the album.
Staying on the atmospheric side of harsh industrial music, In Search Of Death’s sound combines elements from death industrial, dark ambient and occasional passages of more belligerent, martial atmospheres. This is certainly music fans of old death industrial – Brighter Death Now etc. – will appreciate. Having released material by the likes of Sütcliffe Jugend on the band’s own label, In Search Of Death are deeply entrenched in the world of vicious old-school industrial electronics.

SILICON RELIC is a new Italian industrial drones / dark-ambient project, which aims to describe and portray in music the remains and parodies of the sacred and the spirit in the age of disenchantment. The group – composed of Moreno Padoan and Cristian Luise, active for years in the industrial / experimental scene with various monickers – wishes to return with this project to the origins of the genre, combining genuine aesthetic and sound research with a solid conceptual and philosophical approach.
Stavolta ispirato dall’opera dell’esoterista francese del sedicesimo secolo Martinès De Pasqually, massone, studioso di teurgia e fra gli ispiratori del Martinismo, lo spagnolo Juan Carlos Toledo torna con la quinta uscita complessiva della sua creatura Hiemis, un anno dopo il buon «Radix». Per musicare questo vero e proprio viaggio iniziatico alla scoperta dell'»invisibile» sondato dall’ordine di De Pasqually e dei suoi adepti, il musicista di Siviglia accompagna la propria sottile e rifinita dark ambient a strutture sinfoniche dettate dal piano e dagli archi, intrecciando le due soluzioni nei quindici brani che compongono il dischetto (realizzato nelle 200 copie dell’edizione in bustina cartonata). Ne scaturisce un lavoro inevitabilmente più melodico rispetto alle uscite tipicamente dark ambient del progetto, in cui i toni sono sempre moderati ed abbracciano sensazioni ora più dolenti, ora misteriche, sempre col pathos garantito da un intreccio guidato dal buon gusto che contraddistingue l’operato di Hiemis. Una formula più aggraziata e lontana dalla tipica oscurità d’ambiente che tende a reiterarsi nell’arco dell’ora abbondante di durata, ma che piace proprio per quella sua essenzialità che mai la rende ridondante. Senza dubbio il lavoro più «musicale» firmato dall’act ispanico, che trova sempre temi intriganti e capaci di ispirarne le gesta sonore.

Label: Gradual Hate Records – GH05 MP3 Format: Digital Country: Spain Released: 2018 Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Minimal
There is a parallel world to which we all live, and it is made up of chance, intuitions, fears, mysteries… Hoffmann explored, in everyday life, that hidden reality that can be guessed in dreams, visions, ghosts, funerary stories, scientific machinations. In short, a world full of strange and mysterious forces, which are able to play with the life and illusions of all of us.
“Nachtstücke” is a look at that universe where disturbing characters live that become oracles, supposedly trivial images that contain a mystery, as well as threatening inventions that never cease to amaze us. Thus, dreams, magnetism, telekinesis, somnambulism, forebodings, premonition and telepathy make up the matter of this disturbing reality
First sound work (“only be published in digital format” ) by Juan Carlos Toledo (Silent Love of Death) dark environments full of nuances and sparkles, subtle orchestration, minimalism sound.
Day Before Us – Adorned Path Of Stillness Label: Gradual Hate Records – GH 135 CD, Twilight Records – TW 1.153 Format: CD, Album Country: Argentina Released: 15 Feb 2018 Genre: Electronic, Classical Style: Dark Ambient, Neo-Classical, Neo-Romantic
Adorned path of Stillness » marks the return of the neoclassical and dark ambient music act Day Before Us on the Argentina based label Twilight Records, in collaboration with GH Records. This is their sixth full length release. This new effort is an enthralling soundtrack for dark, solemn, thoughtful times. It incorporates acoustic and lyrical sections next to electronic textures and diverse processed sounds.
The general atmosphere offers precious moments of introspective melancholia punctuated by mysteriously hypnotic instrumentals. This is a multifaceted album but also remarkably cohesive with many dynamics, emotional movements that will ravish fans of haunting and touching cinematic music in a rather classical mood.

Poland´Horologium need hardly any introduction. Over the years they managed to create their own musical language and win many hearts in the post-industrial milieu.

Martial trumpets, orchestral fury and tribal percussion have been skillfully combined with delicate neoclassical fragments, dreamy ambient parts and female recitation.
Everything intertwined to create once again the band’s one-of-a-kind sonic maelstrom. Sea waves singing along gentle piano tune, radio broadcast fighting against air raid siren, fire meeting water meeting fire meeting… Well, you damn well know what to expect, don’t you? These earthbound songs come exclusively as a 12” LP in gatefold edition, limited to 333 copies on black vinyl with an elegant A2 poster.
