Band:OPIUM WARLORDS
Album:WE MEDITATE UNDER THE PUSSY IN THE SKY
Label:SVART
Format:CD
Genre:AVANT/POST ROCK
OPIUM WARLORDS return to life after three years of mental purgatory and dwelling in the sewers of the netherworld. It is justified to say that WE MEDIT ATE UN DER THE PUSSY IN THE SKY is the first noteworthy sign of life from its composer Sami Albert Hynninen (also known from ARMANENS CHAFT, AZRAEL RISIN G, THE CANDLES BURNIN G BLUE , KLV, MARCH 15, ORNE , THE PURIT AN, RE VEREN D BI ZARRE and SPIRITUS MORTIS ) since the release of Opium Warlords’ debut album LIVE AT COLONI A DIGNI DAD in 2009 by Cobra Records. Three records’ worth of material has since been recorded, but only one song, Lament For The Builders Of Khara Khoto, was made public. Until now! These three past years have been a period of almost complete reclusion, filled with the struggle to survive with various physical, mental, social, financial and spiritual issues. WE MEDITATE UN DER THE PUSSY IN THE SKY very honestly and truthfully represents this hermetic day by day life and psychic warfare against hostile surroundings, but draws elements also from times and situations dating back to as far as the years 2004 – 2008, before Opium Warlords had entered the world in its final form. At the same time WE MEDIT ATE UN DER THE PUSSY IN THE SKY offers its listener a lurid glimpse of one person’s private hell/ heaven, it – because of its unbelonging quality – also deals with the layers of human life that we all share; the primal elements that are the same in all of us

Now, with the release of Beg Upon the Light, VENOMOUS MAXIMUS is ready to show the world that its reputation precedes it for a reason.

Band:ROY PANTON AND YVONNE HARRISON
Album:STUDIO RECORDINGS 1961/1970
Label:LIQUIDATOR MUSIC
Format:CD
Genre:Reggae/Dub/Ska
It was to be expected that, sooner or later, someone would give recognition to these two key artists, central to understanding Jamaican music and its evolution. For some time, all over the world, thousands of followers and lovers of these Jamaican rhythms have tried, sometimes with luck and some with dismay, to get some of the recordings presented here today on vinyl, in what is the first compilation dedicated to Roy Panton and Yvonne Harrison.
Roy Panton started his musical career at an early age, and after finishing school, decided to take his passion for music and the stage more seriously. In late 1950, Roy and Stranger Cole auditioned for Duke Reid. They subsequently recorded their first work titled “Freedom Land / Adam & Eve” under the name "The Rovers", a name that they would not be using again given that, after the recording, each went their separate ways. Unfortunately, the recording never saw the light of day.
Roy recorded some songs with Monty Morris in the studio of C.C. Dood. So, by suggestion of "Sir Coxone", Roy Panton and Millie Small started singing together and became one of the most prolific duos of the island, leaving behind many recordings under the name "Roy and Millie". Some of these you can find on this LP. Unfortunately, after Millie’s departure to England under the management of Chris Blackwell, Roy found himself without a partner. However, this should not be for long.
In the autumn of 1962, discovered by TIP TOP Label’s Lynden Pottinger, Yvonne and Roy met for the first time at the West Indies Studios (WIRL) of Edward Seaga and recorded their first ever single, "Two Roads" with the B-side "Join together". The magnificent performance of both, and perfect compatibility of their voices “joint together” Roy and Yvonne in what would be one of the most requested duets in the country. During the following years, the young couple would share the stage with great musicians such as Jackie Wilson, Doris Troy, the Merrymen or Ray Charles. They also sang for Byron Lee at New Year’s Eve of 1963 and ‘64. In that same year 1964, a very young Roy and Yvonne appear on the legendary recording “THIS IS SKA” at The Sombrero Club playing one of the songs from their first double sided hit, "Two roads".
This however was only just the beginning for Roy and Yvonne in the rugged and difficult market of Jamaica’s music industry. They worked with many artists and bands from the day, including Tommy McCook and the Supersonics, The Diamonds, The Dragonaires, Carlos Malcolm, Dillon Phillips, Owen Grey, Desmond Tucker, Karl Bryan, Ken Parker, Roland Alphonso and many many more.
In the years between Ska and Rocksteady, between the two they left numerous recordings unique in style and variety, many of which you can find on this LP. Artists such as Millie Small, Annette, Eric Monty Morris and Glen Adams are just some of the friends who Roy and Yvonne share credits with on this recording. A special mention goes to the latter, Glen Adams, who besides being the organ player of The Upsetters, is also Yvonne’s brother. You can hear them perform together on this album with "Dearest" (1958), an incredible cover of US duet Mickey and Sylvia, which they made their own and laid it out over the base of the popular rhythm of “007 (Shanty Town)”. On some recordings, Yvonne is mistakenly credited as “Yvonne Adams” due to her family relationship. Another intriguing fact, Yvonne also performed under the name of “Joni Marie” with other bands of the island. Yvonne's first solo success was “The Chase”, a wonderful song also appearing on this vinyl and produced by Ken Lack.

Band:TRIBUTE
Album:NEW VIEWS
Label:SIREENA
Format:CD
Genre:Prog Rock
The Swedish symphonic rockband Tribute was founded 1982 by the two musicians/composers Gideon Andersson and Josef (formerly Christer) Rhedin. The band created four albums - ”New Views”, ”Breaking Barriers”, ”Live” and ”Terra Incognita”. ”New Views” was the first album and was the one that gave the group their breakthrough in Germany and Sweden in the middle of the nineteen eighties. Tribute toured continuously between 1983 and 1986, and established a large following among the symphonic/progressive rock lovers. Tribute's music is mostly instrumental. It is focused on rhythm, intricate riffs and melodies. In the orchestration there is plenty of classical percussion, such as tubular bells, vibraphone, marimba and timpani. There is also a strong impact from the keyboard section mastered by Josef Rhedin. Another significant aspect of Tribute is that all musicians were multi-instrumentalists, which made a significant impression on their audience.

Label:SPECIALIST SUBJECT
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Punk / Hardcore
Debut album from Sam Russo, 10 bleak, haunting ballads from an incredible new UK singer songwriter. Devoid of cliché, filler and empty "emotion", Storm is a perfect mix of beauty and grit.
Spending the past few years demoing tracks and touring hard whenever he can fit it in around a string of awful jobs, the path to completing this full length hasn't been an easy one. But that's not to say that Sam's talents have gone unnoticed, releasing split a with Chuck Ragan, touring with the likes of Brendan Kelly, Dan Andriano, Crazy Arm, Apologies I Have None & Bangers and even joining the Revival Tour on stage for a couple of tracks at a sold out Shepherd's Bush Empire.
Storm is a stunning record that sees Sam Russo finally realising his potential - “One of the strongest releases I've heard all year, and I can't stop listening to it.” - Invisible Vanguard

Band:HORN OF THE RHINO
Album:WEIGHT OF CORONATION
Label:DOOMENTIA
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Those Spaniards may have had to change their moniker due to copyrights problems (how rock n'roll is that?!) but make no mistake, this is exactly the same band that crushed both our souls and balls with two already heavier-than-thou albums, 2007's 'Breed the Chosen One' and the following year's 'Dead Throne Monarch'. But somehow, 'Weight of Coronation' is a tad of a different beast though… This being said, their music still weights more than a pack of bricks thrown from the 10th floor and as soon as opening track "Speaking in Tongues" will kick you in right in the nuts, you'll be in awe of their amazingly grainy and juicy six-strings sound, like some weird Yeti crawling out step by step from a lake of black tar. And if the title alone of the track "Crushed and Drugged to the Swamp" doesn't sound like a nasty plan, nothing will.
Recorded in Bilbao in March 2010, once again featuring the disturbing artwork of Rafa Garrés, which will even make your truest BM fan shit in their pants, and with five tracks out of eight breaking the eight minutes mark and a spanking deluxe vinyl version featuring an extra (and exclusive to this edition) cover of Black Sabbath's "Disturbing The Priest" for extra heaviness (like if we needed any!), 'Weight of Coronation' is one hell of a record that NEEDS to be checked out but hey, HORN OF THE RHINO are one hell of a band right?!

Band:BUNKER 66/BARBARIAN
Album:SPLIT ALBUM - CD
Label:DOOMENTIA
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
One could say those bands were due to one day share a split in the first place… Let’s face it, BUNKER66 and BARBARIAN have more in common than most: both bands are Italians, both are power-trios whose music is rooted in the 80’s heavy/thrash scene, both have been officially endorsed by Fenriz from DARKTHRONE in his ‘band of the week’ blog andboth bands have had releases on DOOMENTIA before. Oh yeah and born under the sign of the black mark, they both have the kind of ‘fuck off’ attitude that would make any emo fans weep! So this partnering wasn’t simply due to happen, it HAD to become reality.
So there you go, 25 minutes of glorious black/thrash/punk and whatever for all those warriors to headbang to until you bleed. A glorious throwback to CELTIC FROST and VENOM (BARBARIAN) but also DISCHARGE, BULLDOZER and SODOM (BUNKER66) performed and produced the way it always should be!

Band:RAVENS CREED
Album:THE POWER
Label:DOOMENTIA
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Death Metal
Ben Ward may have jumped ship to focus on ORANGE GOBLIN but as proven on last year vibrant EP 'Nestless & Wild' on DOOMENTIA, RAVENS CREED have lost none of their earth-shattering power! As a matter of fact, still featuring a cast of A-class metal veterans - Fraser Craske from SABBAT on bass, Jay Graham from SKYCLAD on drums and Steve Watson from cult death-metal squad DESCERATOR on six-strings attack - but now with the addition of Al Osta on vocals, they way sound even more pissed off than before on their sophomore release. As they say the proof is in the pudding. And with a title as simple and in-your-face as 'The Power', they're in for the kill with thirteen new blasts of proto thrash/death the old-school. Thirteen nuclear nuggets recorded in Notthingham earlier this year that rarely go beyond the two minutes mark and don't even bother beating around the bush. Illustrated once again by the striking of faithful DOOMENTIA collaborator Andrei Bouzikov, this is one album to get violent to while being damn drunk as a skunk....LTD Vinyl LP.

Band:TANGORODRIM
Album:UNHOLY AND UNLIMITED
Label:DOOMENTIA
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Death Metal
Originally released first in vinyl only (in 666 copies of course) back in 2003 and then reissued, on CD format this time, three years later but once again in very limited quantities, ‘Unholy And Unlimited’ wasn’t only the first TANGORODRIM album that really made an impact outside of their native Israel after two unnoticed and self-released full-lenghts. It is also the first time that this infamous quartet finally managed to truly achieve its nefarious mission: fusing HELLHAMMER primitive attack with early 90’s Norwegian black-metal edge.
Alas, upon its initial release ‘Unholy And Unlimited’ was originally cast out as a mid-era DARKTHRONE tribute band in disguise. But underneath its tremolo-picking fury, cold analogue production values and Nocturno Culto like rasping truly lies a beast on its own, somehow groovier yet still pitch black as fuck, full of 80’s metal references and saluted by Fenriz himself!
So six years after the LP release of TANGORODRIM foruth full-length ‘Justus Ex Fide Vivit’, DOOMENTIA is damn proud to bring back from the dead, once again on wax, its predecessor. An amazing album fueled by alcohol, hatred and an almost punk-rock type of urgency. LTD VINYL LP.

Label:Transubstans
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
Truly Nordic, the debut album "Maen" from Gothenburg based DÖDAREN, inspires with a cascade of riffs and melancholic melodies. Reminding you of the most classic 60's and 70's hard rock acts, Maen goes further offering a fresh breeze, never loosing touch with the significance of modern Swedish energy. Most of the songs run well beyond typical radio-length and take you on a journey in harmonics, on a spinning progression and finally punch you in the face with pure rock fury. With Swedish lyrics on top, the four members of DÖDAREN take a step in a new direction, paving the way for many new acts of original hard rock music to come.

Band:HOLMES
Album:BURNING BRIDGES
Label:Blackstarfoundation
Format:CD
Genre:Alt-Country / Americana
Sincere, true and honest – three words to describe the music of Swedish band Holmes, but also three words to describe them as a band. When you meet Holmes either through the speakers of your stereo, at the house of a friend or live in concert you will soon realize that you have found a new friend. I first met Holmes in 2009 through their EP Storm and after playing those four tracks for five or six hours straight during a rainy Friday afternoon I soon realized that I would have to get their debut album pronto, and 15 minutes later I found myself at the local music store holding Wolves as carefully as if it was made of glass, with a big grin on my face. A week later I knew all the songs by heart and since then we have been like the best of friends – Holmes and I. Holmes will welcome you from the very first tone and then carefully lead you through stunning melodies and lyrics with gravity and intensity. This is a band that will let you come along on tour, lend you a jacket when you’re cold or hand you a cup of coffee when you need it the most. Their music is a feeling to wake up to with sounds that compliment your spring walks in the sun and tones that will wag you to sleep, and it’s been described as critics as both melancholic and epic, as well as a portrayal of autumn dressed in music; steady and colorful, like a drizzling rain.

Band:PG LOST
Album:KEY
Label:Blackstarfoundation
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Postrock / Post Hardcore / Noise
Swedish instrumental shoegaze / Post-rock band Pg.lost have here combined their bearing parts from their previous three releases. The melodies from their debut EP “Yes I am” combined with the structure from their sucessfull album debut “It’s not me, it’s you! & the strong dynamics and depth from latest release “In never out”. An orchestra of the heart, a playground for the long lost sporadic thoughts of giving in or getting back. Pg.Lost is a Swedish band of many directions, but most of all a band throbbing with great melancholy grinding against the precious high hopes of not just individual human thinking and feeling, but also contrasts within pushing the sonic boundaries of endless instrumental experiments of prolonging.
Good looking double LP version on transparent clear / black “split effect” Vinyl packed in a good looking Gatefold sleeve.

Band:NEOMYTHICS
Album:NEW CORPORATE RESISTANCES
Label:PLANETWORKS
Format:CD
Genre:Rock
Delivering a multi-layered sonic and conceptual experience, Neomythics debut album New Corporate Resistance is as fresh as it gets. This debut album on Ex-Fed Records is a rock-solid 12 songs showcasing a variety of styles and approaches ranging from the stripped down and funky to maximum hard-psych. Addressing many of the socio-economic issues of our times, Neomythics succeeds in being relevant without sacrificing the music for the message. For people of a certain age it will remind them of the time when the terms independent and alternative meant something and rebellion and non-cooperation with the system was something done without corporate sponsorship.
Features legendary guitar innovator Harvey Mandel (known for playing with The Rolling Stones and Canned Heat), and drummer Lumpy from Throttle Elevator Music.

Band:EZ3KIEL
Album:NAPHTALINE- LP
Label:JARRING EFFECTS
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Dance/Electronica
With “Naphtaline”, EZ3kiel is adding a new dimension to its world : interactivity! The result is a genuine outsider in the music business: a boxset containing a DVD-Rom and an audio CD (its soundtrack), constituting a true front door to the band’s universe. The DVD-Rom features an interactive journey that sticks to the trio’s imaginary, including animated visuals, videos, and sound scapes entirely created by EZ3kiel’s bassist. Essentially acoustic, the soundtrack to “Naphtaline” takes the audience into a world full of modernity and nostalgia, where the piano, the clarinet, the accordion, or vocals are wonderfully orchestrated. Eleven tracks, close to each one, poetic, where instrumental grace is appealing dreams and melancholy, somewhere between Erik Satie and Sigur Ros !

Band:LUNO
Album:LITATO
Label:PALE MUSIC INTERNATIONAL
Format:CD
Genre:Psych/Garage
It´s difficult to find the right word to describe the music of LUNO, a band around Ema Brabcová, former lead-singer of Khoiba. It´s her ethereal voice put against the heavy pounding drums and gorgonizing base guitar that makes the music of LUNO so fulminating. However, where the eponymous debut was full of raw guitar riffs and blown-out drums, the follow-up LITATO is a more light-hearted affair witnessing a move to a slightly different, more pop-oriented territory.
LITATO has a whiff of weirdness: start listening to the opening track and you might think the guitar line went a bit off. As soon as Ema´s haunting voice rushes in, though, all doubts are brushed aside. It´s the brandmark of LUNO´s music: unsubsumable, oozing with loads of genuine authenticity. It manifests itself perfectly through all the 4 tracks, taking up a more sinister streak in Target Fish and See You In Water – the opening of the latter is indeed a watery feeling: synthetizers and background reverb thickening the atmosphere, the only guide out of the heavy depths left are the words. Ankle Deep In a Swamp Of Lies is somewhere between – it starts off very deep but gradually swirls up on Ema´s exquisite voice to dizzying heights.

Band:TUSK
Album:SACRIFICE..
Label:PALE MUSIC INTERNATIONAL
Format:cd
Genre:Indie/Shoegaze
Armed with haunting vocals and synth melodies, TUSK is a dance floor renegade with beats fit for the runway and an escapist sci-fi fantasy with no limits. Best described as synth-wave meets sci-fi, TUSK is hailed as a visionary by fans and for his upcoming release TUSK awakens the fantasy of polygendered superhero fighting a space-age doomsday cult to save an unworthy human race. In “Sacrifice”, TUSK threads this epic bittersweet space opera through the rising drones and beats of 1980s and 90s synthdance. Fusing together a disco rave swagger with the dark arts of a black magician, TUSK inhabits the nexus point between Xiu Xiu, John Foxx and Kate Bush. The hooks are indelible; the dislocated melodies and beats blast across the spectrum from acid house to future pop, new-wave to rave. TUSK is danceable music for an age staring into the apocalypse, synths married with science fiction; lipstick shine under blacklights

Band:Aniaetleprogrammeur
Album:FRIENDLY EXPECTATIONS OF THE STARS
Label:PALE MUSIC INTERNATIONAL
Format:CD
Genre:Indie/Shoegaze
Unclassifiable and purely authentic with a little touch of tasty kitch, Aniaetleprogrammeur gather several influences under one style, their own. Defined as dirty electro rock, electro punk, industrial electro or the kings of modern no-wave, indeed Aniaetleprogrammeur leave traces behind their passages. Even if electro is the most repeated word, the band doesn’t fit into clubs but to concert halls, where the quality of the speakers allow them to create the most incisive wall of sound. Berlin-based but originally formed in Paris in 2005, the band is composed of Hanrigabriel (direction/guitars/vox/synths) Tata Christiane (synths/machines), and Valquire Veljkovic (lights/synths/bass). The trio is a multidisciplinary art collective whose activities extend to fashion design (with the brand Tata Christiane), video, photography and graphic design. Their new and second album “The friendly expectations of the stars” will be released on Force Royale Records, Pale Music Int. (CD/digital, worldwide) .If the album represents what the stars nicely expect for the beginning of 2013, some are truly thinking it will be the apocalypse. At least we will be ready for the new era. With an accumulation of noise elements precisely laid down, layers of beats and massive electronic synths, heavily effected guitars and a voice coming from the black hole, the album is a fall of comets bridging rock to epic composition, psychedelic electro and soundscapes. A prolongation of their debut album “Die kir(s)che auf dem kopf” released in 2009 on Force Royale Records. Starting successfully, the album received critics of the international press and songs have been featured on compilations and radio shows. Following the release, a 7” vinyl was released on Plastic Spoons Records, distributed via Rough trade and Born Bad. Strong sound lines, strong visual identity. The release of the new album will be accompanied by a series of self-directed videos and visuals depicting the imaginary world of the band. Mysterious and anachronistic, Aniaetleprogrammeur is inspired by fantastic cinema, creating dark universes which Darth Vader would envy. On stage, the enigmatic atmosphere is created by an immersion of effervescent smoke and dazzling stroboscopes. A synchrony between stage design and sound, as everything, including the lights are programmed by the band. Live, Aniaetleprogrammeur are disturbing and danceable in equal measure. From the first tone they throw you in a vacuum that you can ́t leave until they stop. Their shards of thumping beats and razor guitar scotch your breath or enchant your body to provoke spontaneous jerky choreographies. And once in the backstage, you meet the friendliest people, taking care and making you smile with their soft absurd sense of humour. Aniaetleprogrammeur is a package of consistent contrasts, seducing crowds all over the world. They have already toured in venues and festivals across Europe and in Japan. A charm without limits, maybe because “they express what a generation is feeling”, according to the legendary Steve Morell ... (Clara Ouchène, Oct.2012)

Band:NAKAYA
Album:EVERYONE NEEDS A PEACEFUL LIGHT
Label:PALE MUSIC INTERNATIONAL
Format:CD
Genre:Indie/Shoegaze
By releasing their debut album “Everyone Needs A Peaceful Light” the band Nikaya moves into the focus of a small community of the art and music scene in Berlin for the first time. During their series of concerts called “BERLIN LITTLE WORLD TOUR 2011”, Nikaya was supported by Berlin artists from the 90’s such as Capt. Space Sex and Marva+Maschin-Klan and by G punkt EFFEKT (Punk-Chansons) and young DJ Bettibobikepunk (60’s), too. This new generation of excellent artists about lead singer and composer Florian Kusch (guitar/e-piano), drummer Julian Schütte, bass player Johannes Danker and Philipp Künzel doing the electronics, is often associated with The Cure, Mission and Joy Division in the broadest sense.

Band:THE MAGIK WAY
Album:MATERIA OCCULTA 1997-1999
Label:MY KINGDOM MUSIC
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Emerged from a Mortuary Drape's rib, after the album's recording 'Secret Sudaria', THE MAGIK WAY is born in the winter of 1996 by the will of Diabolic Obsession, Old Necromancer and Nequam who, with Azach’s add, created an occult mold body, radically influenced by the study of the esoteric arts and, primarily operates through an idea of the music by the highly theatrical connotations. Under the “Sigillum Electrale”’s protection, The Magik Way prepares the material for their namesake mini-cd. In the meanwhile they start a long musical work inspired by a Diabolic Obsession's short-story called “Il tempo si è fermato!” (Time Stopped) and named “Cosmocaos”. The Magik Way’s “musical” path suspended at the eve of 2000, as a natural process after 2 years of an alienating existence totally voted to Magic. 13 years later, the December 2012, SAD SUN MUSIC brings to light that material ratifying a new beginning along the meandrous course Mystical Magic Way. The reissue of the complete THE MAGIK WAY discography will be released on January 2013 with the title of “Materia Occulta 1997-1999”.
