Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones



Triptykon is a continuation of Tom Fischer's work on Celtic Frost's Monotheist. Monotheist didn't get many bad reviews, which stands to reason as the album was awesomely well written en amazingly well produced. This album isn't an exact copy of Monotheist, but it's definitely in the same vein.

Released: Century Media Records, 2010.

Caligine - Ter



I'm extremely happy Caligine themself contacted me for this. I am a huge fan of Caligine, I love every release they made. They always seem to fuse folk elements with noise or ambient without any effort. In this release the folk is more prominent en the experimental edge slithers in between guitar strings.

Released: The Wool Shop Productions, March 2010, 30 copies.

Fukte + [C. T. D.] - Radiations



More sizzling from the uncompromizeable [C.T.D.] and the unsurprisingly Fukte. Expect more of the same from both artists. They do what they're best at, make noise and make it annoyingly long and wall-like.

Released: Sodoma Record, October 2009, 30 copies.

Zombi - Spirit Animal



It's been a while since I first listened to this progressive rock/electro band and I remember that I wasn't too impressed with their previous albums. They were fine in composition, but they lacked substance, it felt more like they wanted us to listen instead of experience.
In this album, still relatively new, they've done the exact opposite and they manage to pull it off magnificently. They still sound the same, but they feel different, like they finally made up their minds about how they want to sound.

Released: Relapse Records, Februari 2009.

Merzbow - Ouroboros



I told you I'd post this as soon s I got this. It arrived this afternoon and I'm listening to it right now. Some harsher part of the album has just passed and we've landed in some mellow Fantail-like sizzling. It's quite capturing. The album artwork is amazing, that's actually the reason I bought this one, I expected it to be full of merzdrums again so I didn't really care that much about the music. Fortunately there are no explicit drum samples present, straight up old school noise (with a modern touch).

Released: Soleilmoon Recordings, May 2010, limited to 500 copies

Ladyscraper - Blood And Semen



A very short ep consisting of harsh breakcore infusing Bong-Ra techniques with gabber beats. Pretty fun and noise for electro.

Released: Wrong-Lab, 2007.

Dotåbåtå - Red Wall

Again no image, but hey, quit your nagging, you're still getting the music..
This is the best release he's done. Ever. It has everything he's known for. There are dreamy ambient ideas, a bit darker than usual, layered with haunting howls and screams, which makes it eerie as hell, and there are harsher analogue noise tantrums, bashing their way through the entire release.
This is again one of my own cassette rips, so the quality of the sound is lower than the original (and not in a wav-to-mp3 kind of way...). If you like what you're hearing, then definitely get a copy before they run out.

Released: Cantankerous Records, 2010, limited to 25 copies.

Dotåbåtå - For Birthing Applications

Bizzcard release by mr Dotåbåtå. It was harsh, fast and over pretty sudden. It was a fine release, but it didn't quite fit in his discography, he already made some harsh noise, but not like this before. It felt a bit dry.

Released: Self-released, 2010, limited to 11 copies.
