Description
by J. Campbell:
Released on
CD in 2005, “L’alliance Des Venins” HAS long been considered by many to be
among the most prominent recordings in the canon of French Black Metal. While
Darvulia’s influence may not be as widely recognized as some other French acts
such as Peste Noire or those in the LLN camp, the band’s 15 years of Existence
is a Testament to the Power of the music. That the band only HAS Eight official
releases (including just three full-lengths) to its name during that time is
evidence of the deliberate manner by which Darvulia sets about writing and
recording material and explains the remarkably high quality of the band’s
catalog. “L’alliance Des Venins” is arguably the most substantial statement
made by the band, and may easily be considered among the most impressive, if
often overlooked, Black Metal releases of the past decade. Darvulia
incorporates melody, intensity, and discordance in equal measure into the
overall tapestry of its sound. Assertive passages of rapid and sprawling melody
give way to mid-paced and down tempo atmospheric segments pregnant with the
tension of restraint. Woven throughout the album are astounding riffs that
shimmer with melancholy minor key dissonance. The effect calls to mind some of
the more atonal aspects of Piggy’s playing in Voivod, but the riffs here are firmly
embedded in the sweeping, sorrowful, and decidedly French, Black Metal
tradition. The overall impact is wholly unique. No other band in Black Metal
quite utilizes shifts in tempo and prominently misaligned harmonies to such
tremendous effect. The production on “L’alliance Des Venins” also deserves
comment. The album is never blown out or overdriven, leaving intact the
disorienting interplay of incongruous notes while also maintaining and merging
the visceral attack of each instrument. The production, like the songwriting,
never incorporates any extraneous and unnecessary elements, and, in this way,
Darvulia relies precisely upon those sounds needed to achieve the desired
effect and nothing more. The cover art, a simple rendering of the main de
gloire or hand of glory, is as evocative and austere as the music within and
bespeaks the potent and mystical aura of death that the album exudes. At its
summits, “L’alliance Des Venins” attains a state of grandeur and brilliance of
form that casts the album alongside the greatest in the genre.

"Intercourse and Lust" CD - “Intercourse and Lust” showcases the
ability of the three-piece band to deftly interpose elements of myriad styles
into the overall sound of the album. Yasuyuki’s familiar vocal rasp adds the
final sonic flourish. The lyrics on “Intercourse and Lust” are noteworthy
because many of the songs were written by Chuck Keller (Order From Chaos,
Vulpecula, Ares Kingdom) and bear the evocative and poetic mark of his lyrical
imagery. Juxtaposed with Keller’s lofty lyrical approach is the street-gutter
violence of tracks like “Attack with Spell” and “Hail Yakuza,” the latter of
which concludes the album with a series of Yakuza film samples. [Label: Nuclear

MAOR APPELBAUM "Collaborating Torture" CD - Quote from Label:
"Collaborating Torture is one of the last known recordings made by Matt
Gibney AKA Hollowing, who died in January 2006. Gibney, a member of
SOIHADTOSHOOTHIM who was also running the important Rectrix label and
mail-order, was joined here by the prolific Maor Appelbaum (Grave in the Sky,
Poochaltz and Maurizio Bianchi, to name a few) to create a brooding and massive
54 minutes track of dark pitch-black ambient of hypnagogic swirls and
industrialized drones. Sometimes subtle, yet mostly haunted and delirious, this
is highly recommended if you like Wilt, Murderous Vision, Brighter Death Now,
Aidan Baker, Z'ev, Daniel Menche, The Caretaker and John Duncan." [Label:

LETHAL DOSE
50 "21st Century Awakening" CD - (LETHAL DOSE 50 is the poison dose
injected into the veins of persons sentenced to the death penalty in some
states of the United States.… but LD50 is also a Belgian trio which has been
existing for years in the fields of electronic musics. After a self-released
first tape and a first CD-R, we are proud to offer you the first fullength CD
by this talented unit. Using some digital instruments – synths, samplers- as
well as some analogue ones –synths, rhythm’n box, effects-… LD50 develops an
atmospheric music which is at the same time dark but warm, cosmic and
experimental, melodic and deep, meditative but aware, often underlaid by some
sampled voices and sound-collages, sometimes intermingled with/ intersected
with some hypnotic rhythms. Being fully mastered and definitely original
compared to some nowadays releases from the dark-ambient genre, "21st
century awakening" will both appeal to the nostalgics of the 70ies and
80ies sonorities -old-school space-electronics from the 70ies and 80ies such as
TANGERINE DREAM, NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS-.as well as to the lovers of some nowadays
dark ambient acts such as SCHLOSS TEGAL, INADE, HERBST 9 or FIRST LAW… LD 50 is
certainly the sole musical project able to set a bridge between these two
tendencies, these two sounds, these two periods… Fans of sterilized lap-top
generated or of cheap new-age ethno-ambient can go their way. "21st
century awakening" will appeal as much to the soul as to the body, to the
mind as to the heart. At first listening, this record may seem a little bit
strange to you, like being out of phases, but the following listenings will
draw you into an endless spiral similar to the one painted on the sleeve. Allow
yourself enough of freedom for that... CD re-mastered by Christian RENOU,

THE JOY OF
NATURE "The Empty Circle Part.I" CD - Quote from label: The Joy of
Nature is a multimedia project from the Azores, with music as its main focus
(the Azores are a group of 9 islands between Europe and North America,
belonging to Portugal) . It was created in 1999 as "The Joy of Nature and
Discipline", and reduced to "The Joy of Nature" in 2006, following
a change in its sound - more organic and acoustic. Musically, "The Joy of
Nature" is like a serpent always renewing itself - never resting in one
shape, changing the form but keeping the same essence. ?Swirling Lands of
Disquiet and Catharsis? is the first part of a trilogy entitled ?The Empty
Circle?. Each part of the trilogy has a correspondence with the three main
hermetic-alchemical phases: Nigredo, Albedo and Rubedo and, at the same time
and correspondingly, to individual experience, inheritance of our ancestors and,
finally, the overcoming of a mere individual state of existence. This first
part corresponds to Nigredo. The subtitle of this work - ?A Theatre lost in The
Vast Abyss of Starry Skies? came in a lucid dream in which appeared the idea
that this world in which we live our day-to-day lives can be compared to a
small theatre in a vast abyss of starry skies. This album is about a world of
disquiet, in which a catharsis should be done. To gather the impurities,
realize their nature and build something pure from there. The music follows the
concept - there are elements of Folk, Ambient, Psychedelic and Experimental
music, mixed in a coherent way, creating a unique sound and a breathtaking
atmosphere, predominantly acoustic and with dark tones. 62 min. / 12 songs [Label:

TONY
WAKEFORD "Not All Of Me Will Die" CD - Quote from label: «Non omnis
moriar»—«Not all of me will die». Over 2000 years ago, the Roman poet Horace
wrote this line. Its poignant defiance of human mortality and faith in the
transcending power of art rings out down the ages, finding an echo in this new
work from Tony Wakeford, best known as the founder of seminal English dark folk
band Sol Invictus. Not All Of Me Will Die is Tony Wakeford’s fourth solo studio
album. It commemorates the life and work of the Polish-Ukrainian Jewish poetess
Zuzanna Ginczanka, who was executed by the Gestapo in Kraków in 1944. All of
the album’s lyrics are based on Ginczanka’s verses. As with his last solo
outing, 2007’s Into The Woods, Tony Wakeford is joined here by a range of guest
musicians and vocalists, including avant-garde composer Susan Matthews and
members of Orchestra Noir, Zunroyz and Sol Invictus. [Label: The Eastern Front]

"Rites of Genesis" CD Digipack - quote from label: Romanian project
Ad Ombra’s debut album “Rites of Genesis” (equinox tremendum) offers a suite in
15 parts of Dramatic Orchestral art, rooted in the timeless fragrance of
Classical music, adorned with Eastern lullabies, funeral dirges, monumental
choirs and operatic female chants, theatrical soliloquies, industrial hues of a
dark disturbing manner, all coagulated in order to depict the aesthetical
testimonies of the project’s mastermind, George D. Stanciulescu. A spiral of
emotions, thoughts, opalescent visions, essential recurrences, for Creation’s
shrine that stands as a living mirror where everyone can reflect the(m)selves.
For fans of Elend, Stoa, Sophia and Chaostar. 15 tracks, 42 minutes, 3 panel

limited editions then as Antikatechon which now represents the highlight of his
artistic and stylistic creativity. A first full length album has been published
on Silentes Minimal Editions back in 2011, this one provides a very
accomplished effort in the realms of hauntingly dark ambient music with a touch
of melancholic-spiritual inflected nihilism. Signed on Rage in Eden,
"Chrisma Crucifixorum" is an other eloquent and complex release which
oscillates between stately gazing drone sequences and original audio
treatments, the whole thing surrounded by a sacral aura. 2013 saw the rise of a
collaborative effort with the pioneering ethno-noise ambient act Nimh, also
from Italy. This musical meeting gave birth to a passionate and typical dark
ambient offering. The conceptual-visual background is connected to the visions
and powerful painting works of Goya. Davide Del Col presents here his new
catchy electronic dark ambient release entitled "Woe is the Reward",
welcomed by Rage in Eden Records. A tremendous, entrancing and blasting dark
ambient odyssey full of majestic sound sculptures, huge resonances, bleak
noises, metallic reverbs and many more. This sonic, soundtracky and
"acoustically haunted" ambient symphony will totally enthrall and
ravish the listener. Be prepared to this intense sonorous adventure. --

CONTROL
"Deadly Sins" CD Digipack - 11 years after making his debut on
Malignant side label, Black Plague, the legendary Control returns home to
roost, with another pulverizing display of power. 7 tracks, thematically
centered around the 7 deadly sins (with each track clocking in at the 7
minute), originally released as lmtd CDr for the Elektroanschlag 11 festival.
There is no atonement here, nor redemption offered. Just cold, jarring currents
of massively built power electronics and horror filled death industrial, full
of clamoring factory debris, razor sharp sheets of sonic violence, and grisly
metallic grind, rounded out with Garrison's trademark vocal devastation. In 4
panel digipak, designed by John Balistreri of Slogun. Mandatory! [Label:
Malignant] 8.50 €
DEATHSPELL
OMEGA "Kénôse" CD Digipack - "The immediate follow-up to 'Si

EIDULON
"Idolatriae" CD Digipack - Quote from label: With the release of
Eidulon’s debut CD Idolatriae, we at Malignant are pleased to welcome another
new project into the cozy confines of our slowly expanding roster. 7 tracks of
ultra bleak, abstract atmospheres, with sounds and textures that seem to seep
from catacomb walls and come slithering out of subterranean chambers.
Certainly, this can be classified as a dark ambient record, but at it’s core,
it’s more than just that simple classification. There’s a gritty, more jagged
edge here, with tetonic shifts, deep rumblings, and crackling, climatic squalls
buried under a bed of ghostly reverb and haunting tonal resonance. Fits in
nicely with past Malignant releases such as R|A|A|N's 'The Nacrasti', Heid's
'Arktogaa', and even Caul's 'Crucible' CD. In elegant 6 panel digipak, with
stark black and white, carefully arranged illustrations inspired by Taschism
and Spatial art. [Label: Malignant] 8.00 €
FROZEN
FACES "Broken Sounds Of a Dying Culture" CD Digipack - Quote from
label: "The year is 1996 I was surfing on cold waves through the very
heart of Linkopia, night after night it was all the same. Sleeping in the
Karmanik basement seduced by delerium echoing between white concretwalls. I
could hear the equiptment slowly disintegrating as I put out the light, broken
sounds of a dying culture. This might be the erosion of history eternally
scraping on the crown of mankind...or was it just the decline of my personal
belongings after years of abuse... and was there any diffrence between the two
theories? I streched out my limb and pressed the record-button." - Lina
Baby Doll. Originally released by Entartete Musikk in 1996 as a limited edition
LP. Now available in cd format with totally remastered sound, new artwork and
bonus tracks from the Religion of Hate 7" in original extended versions. A
must for all the fans of Lina's works who somehow missed the vinyl version! A5
digipack format. [Label: Wrotycz] 6.00 €
FUNERARY
CALL "Fragments From The Aethyr" CD Digipack - The grand master of
black ambience returns with this new missive from beyond the chthonic depths.
Featuring three extended descents into jet-black drift, funereal chamber music,
monstrous metallic noise, booming ritualistic percussion, slit-throat
recitations of formless horror, and further abyssal abominations. Fragments
From The Aethyr presents a triptych of long, sprawling pieces that descend
through dark layers of cinematic sonic horror. The music shifts between
violin-led passages of pitch-black, dissonant chamber music backed by booming
kettledrums and traces of modern music composition and the rotting exhalations
of the dead, to blasts of crushing shapeless doom where huge metallic chords
thunder in the deep, sending tremors of doom-laden dronemetal rumbling through
the strata of Funerary Call's demonic industrial nightmares. The sound of
Fragments sometimes resembles a Bela Bartok piece drifting through a fog of
black-mass ambience and the murmerings of the long dead, the sound imbued with
a deep ominous feel but also glowing with a mysterious dark beauty as it builds
to a crescendo of black majestic power, as on the nearly twenty minute
centrepiece of the album "Fragments". There are noisy elements that
appear here that threaten to push the music into ear-destroying industrial
cacophony at times, but even when the sound is at it's most chaotic, it's held
together by the searing melodies of the stringed instruments, tethering the
plumes of black industrial noise to the graveyard ambience that soaks deep into
the surface of the album. Absolute lightlessness from this seminal artist,
highly recommended to fans of Gnaw Their Tongues, Megaptera, Nordvargr,
TenHornedBeast, MZ.412 and Aghast. Released in a matte-finish digipack from
Crucial Blast. [Label: Crucial Blast] 7.90 €

Horologium’s work thus far, starting with the debut album „The Fire Sermon” and
ending with their „Du Grand Désir”, enclosed within nine new tracks. This
full-length takes you on a journey filled with military and ritual drumming,
ambient film score muzak, sublime recitation and fiery sound collages. An

Limbo" is based on the re-engineered early works selectively crafted anew
in summer 2009 at Olegh's Oda Relicta home studio. An elusory history of the
project proceeds with a special Wrotycz Records release. The record,

INNER
VISION LABORATORY "Perpetua" CD Digipack - Quote from label: The
focal point of the album is the condition of mankind entangled in the cycle of
creation, stagnation and destruction. Creation is an idealistic picture, it
dwells in an idea of fiat lux et facta est lux. It is a blueprint for the musical
narrative that is comprised of unrestricted admiration of life, of order that
is mankind
