Band:PRURIENT
Album:FROZEN NIAGRA FALLS
Label:Profound Lore
Format:DCD
Genre:Industrial / Experimental
Known as America’s most prominent noise figurehead, for nearly 20 years under the moniker of PRURIENT, Dominick Fernow has created a sonic entity unlike any other in the realm of experimental, ambient, and noise music respectively. Throughout a massive repertoire that consists of full-lengths, EPs, splits, singles, limited cassette runs and 7” releases etc. PRURIENT is one of the most important artists to define and reinvent the genre of noise music which in turn has made Fernow one of the premiere visionaries in the entire genre of experimental music.
Throughout the years PRURIENT has been known to constantly shape shift its sound into many mutations and incarnations within the noise genre through massive layered walls of sound consisting of harsh feedback, tortured vocals, meticulous sampling, machine-like industrial pounding, entrancing synth work, enticing beats, and waves of electronica to create an aura that treads the fine line of harsh noise extremity and atmospheric beauty.
PRURIENT’s first full-length album since the 2011 game changer “Bermuda Drain” sees Fernow deliver the most ambitious and massive PRURIENT album to date. A double-album clocking in at a near 90-minutes entitled “Frozen Niagara Falls”, the new PRURIENT album is set to define Fernow even more as a master within all the genres PRURIENT tends to crossover into. In what encompasses moments familiar from the entire PRURIENT catalog along with creating something entirely new and different from what PRURIENT has previously done, “Frozen Niagara Falls” could very well be recognized as the PRURIENT magnum opus.

Band:SAMMAL
Album:MYRSKYVAROITUS
Label:SVART
Format:CD
Genre:Prog Rock
Torchbearers of Finnish progressive rock Sammal return with a new single on March 27th and a second album, to be released on May 15th via Svart Records. The eponymous debut album of these Finns, who sing in their native language, garnered widespread praise: Classic Rock called Sammal “an impressive, obsessive rendering of 45-year-old dynamics across a set of beguiling and timeless rock melodies” while Decibel called them “a rare prog band that knows when to say when.” Last winter, Sammal entered the studio and laid down nine new tracks for their second album, Myrskyvaroitus ("Storm Warning"). Whereas the self-titled debut and the band's other early work had mostly been the work of two people - singer Janu Kiviniemi and guitarist Jura Salmi - with last year’s EP release No 2, Sammal closed the doors on its past. Myrskyvaroitus is very much an ensemble album, and the band worked on the material as a tight-knit unit. The album was mixed and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Messenger, Hexvessel, Paradise Lost, Ulver) in London. Says guitarist Salmi, “We decided to get rid of the comparisons to Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep and be just Sammal. As leading influences in the rehearsal room and studio, we had Vangelis, Moody Blues, Scandinavian jazz, and early Turkish progressive psychedelic rock.

Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
The young psychonauts of Domovoyd are onto their sixth year of existence in this dimension, and, having taken many acid heads by surprise with their debut album Oh Sensibility (2013), are ready to deliver a second transmission from worlds beyond and within. Scheduled to appear on the planet on May 8th, the album is self titled and it will be available on CD, double vinyl and digital. Domovoyd's eponymous 60-minute behemoth pays tribute to progressive rock masterpieces of yesteryear in the sense that it is, for lack of a better word, a concept album. Storytelling and mythmaking in the works, if you will, but distilled through an overdriven stack of amplifiers. The album's six tracks deal with inner discovery of the psychedelic kind and ultimately with the loss and destruction of all conceptions of self and the world. Old ego is a too much thing, as Charlie Manson once said. For those who are looking for a quick fix while waiting for the album to hit, Domovoyd have prepared a shorter version of the album's opening track Domovoyage. Ease on out of your mind with Domovoyd!

Band:SEREMONIA
Album:KRISTALLIARKKI
Label:SVART
Format:CD
Genre:Psych/Garage
Finnish heavy psych rockers Seremonia dive deeper than ever into the dark psychedelic abyss with their third album Kristalliarkki (The Crystal Ark). With lyrics (still all in their native tongue) revolving around the spiritual cult practices and teachings of a mysterious doomsday cult, the album also explores the cultist mindset musically. The heavy riffing, the psychedelic solos, the out-ofcontrol drum fills, the blood-chilling vocal delivery and the collective free rock freak-outs all go way beyond just playing good ol' heavy rock. Seremonia is a band on a sacred mission, possessed by the black flame of rock'n'roll. Kristalliarkki bears their trademark garage doom sound and catchy riffage, and adds an abundance of acid rock experimentalism, proto punk anger, sacred music bliss and even some cosmic jazz flawors in the 15- minute namepiece of the album. It's a hard rocking hard rock record, but a wonderfully weird one.

Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Vidunder’s self-titled debut album (2013) was praised by the press as by the fans. Since then the band has, with their retro infused 70’s rock, done numerous of European tours and shared stage with bands like Graveyard, Horisont and Spiders. Now it’s finally time for the follow-up!
”Oracles And Prophets” is recorded analogy at Studio Möllan and Studio Celsius in their hometown Malmö, Sweden, along with producer Emil Isaksson. The sound on their self-titled debut with its raw attitude and unadorned simplicity has now with ”Oracles And Prophets” been refined in a tasteful way – the foundation is intact, but the sound has grown by more elaborate arrangements, thorough production and it has been given greater scope for melodies and longer experimental parts.
If the last album was a result of what we sound like if one knocks up a bunch of microphones and play rock, this is how it turned out when we worked with a more open mind and thorough work in production. We have brought new elements into the songs, both in terms of arrangements and instruments wise, to move forward and develop our sound, says singer and guitarist Martin Prim.
”Oracles And Prophets” is one of the 2015 most interesting rock releases and Vidunder’s fantastic voyage has only just begun…

Band:DEAD MOON
Album:LIVE AT SATYRICON
Label:BURNSIDE
Format:CD
Genre:Garage Punk
Voodoo Doughnut Recordings presents a blistering-hot live recording by NW punk legends Dead Moon whose roots go back to the garage rock of the 60s (The Weeds, Lollipop Shoppe). Featuring husband-andwife team Fred and Toody Cole on guitar and bass, respectively, and Andrew Loomis on drums, the recording, from a single performance at Portland's now-defunct temple of grunge Satyricon on April 16, 1993, captures the seminal trio at the peak of their bone-crunching powers. Blending punk, garage rock and country, Dead Moon creates their own genre of raw, unmistakable stripped-down sound. The audio, originally captured on an 8-channel analog cassette tape, was mixed and mastered in late 2014 by New York punk and hardcore producer Don Fury. The result is a fully functional time machine back to the most gritty and dangerous-sounding days of Portland punk rock. CD

Band:OLTEN
Album:MODE
Label:DIVISION
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Postrock / Post Hardcore / Noise
Why would ØLTEN release a new record? Their previous one is far from obsolete! To be honest, I never thought I'd need another. Their self-titled EP still sit proudly on my desk. It looks like my grandma's ancient dresser: it's built to last, assembled too carefully, impossible to move. It reminds me of these massive furnitures from the old days, when cabinetmakers were really willing to produce solid looking, patiently handcrafted and reliable furnitures you would only yield to your grandchildren when they get their fifth baby. ØLTEN's organic rock is like the finest forest wood, the older and the dryer it gets, the better it sounds. So frankly, now that I already own one, why would I bother getting another ? Simply because it is bigger, crunchier, heavier, louder, longer and olten-er. As a passionate broker I don't need it - but I desire it. Is there a weight limit to their art? What am I gonna do with all that firewood? What if my entire flat ends up being too small for their lumbermen riffs? Well, I guess the guys from ØLTEN just don't give a shit - all three of them are giants already…

THIRD ION fully embraces technology in the writing and production of their sound, while maintaining and nourishing an organic aspect.

Band:CRO MAGS
Album:NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE
Label:PUNISHMENT 18
Format:CD
Genre:Punk / Hardcore
In the Year 2000, Cro-Mags have become an urban legend. Their story told and retold, twisted and warped until it is unrecognizable. But now to set the record straight, this is how it all be began. Before the Quarrel. Picture this, the year 1980, it's sunrise on NYC's lower east side, Ave. A is a barren urban wasteland of empty storefronts in abandoned buildings. the streets are littered with junkies and freaks. Heroin and cocaine are the only flourishing businesses and the only sign of life in this ghost town are the local gangs and 40 or so kids in front of A 7 (hardcore club) where Urban Waste is still on stage. Little Chris, age 11, and Eric Casanova, age 12, sit on the curb still tripping from the night before, with no money, no hope and no future, just drive and dried blood on their clothes from a night they've already forgotten. This was hardcore and the streets were ours. Across from Tompkins Square Park Parris Mayhew and Harley Flanagan are sitting in the back booth of the Park Inn Tavern (after-hours) pounding pitchers of beer and shots of Jack, planning their new band. Nothing unusual, except that Parris was16 and Harley was 14 and their band was to change the hardcore scene forever. In the bar, Harley is recounting to Parris the details of a robbery he and Paul Dordal had perpetrated earlier that day. As Parris sits listening and looking into Harley's drunk, drugged and crazed eyes that seem to pierce the darkness, Parris thinks "What am I getting myself into?" That was really the beginning...
Moving along to 1993 and with 'Near Death Experiences', Cro-Mags created a harder, more aggressive metal / crossover style of music, whilst still capturing their original hardcore lifestyle.

Band:ONECYZE PROJECT
Album:ABSOLUTE ZERO
Label:EK Product
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
After the extraordinary validity demonstrated in 2009 with the full -length "Confused Mental State", the project is ready to astonish you with thirteen new tracks that will make you literally vibrate directing to your brain all its amazing energy. You will discover a dynamic technologic sound planned with extreme accuracy, with modulations that will make you dance for days. The solid bass-lines and the glacial vocals of Josef Gruen, together with the instrumental strategies by L.B. and ShallC, they wholly polarize your attention flooding the surrounding space, while the nervous intermittences of drum-machine, the minimal synth ornaments and the pulses of programming they spread scans that will force you to move rhythmically following metronomic trajectories. The return of OneCyze Project is considered an event of great resonance for the sensational danceability of their music, for the highest quality of sounds but also for the atmospheres electronically restless and leaden contained within this new album that will honor the record collection of many fans.

Band:ARSTIDIR
Album:HVEL lp
Label:BESTE! UNTERHALTUNG
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Folk
Árstíðir is a vocal¬based acoustic band from Reykjavík with a sound unique to the Icelandic music scene. All four members are distinguished players known from various bands in the Reykjavík soundscape. Over the two and a half years since Árstíðir’s formation the band has released two records praised by trendsetting music critics, had two number¬-one hits on Icelandic radio, made several TV appearances in Iceland, Sweden, Russia, and the Czech Republic, and played sold out venues all over Europe. Árstíðir’s arresting vocal harmonies and lush instrumentation set them apart, effusing a warm tide of resonant acoustic and baritone guitars, virtuosic piano, and melismatic strings. The result is an uncommonly wide spectrum of sound, driven by the members' exceptional vocal range. Consequently, Árstíðir’s music is a rare composition of the clear-cut and the complex. Their songs are easy to fall in love with, yet mixed with diverse influences such as progressive rock, indie, classical chamber music, and Icelandic folk music.

Genre:Folk
From the northernmost point of the Norwegian mainland in Sápmi, Gamvik in Finnmark, comes Torgeir Vassvik; a stormy and barren landscape hidden in darkness through the winter.

Vassvik is a Sami artist whose soundscapes mirror this landscape. He plays orginal compositions and traditional tunes, combining joik and the Sami drum with throatjoik and natural sound. And he present this together with some of Norway's most innovative musicians. So comrades the joik story continues. Go on and on and on and on.
'Torgeir Vassvik is a magnetic and individual live performer, among the most fascinating and intense of sami contemporary joikers. A true orginal.' -Andrew Cronshaw-fRoots

Band:FOGHORN STRING BAND
Album:DEVIL IN THE SEAT
Label:BURNSIDE
Format:CD
Genre:Bluegrass
The Foghorn Stringband is the present day shining gold standard for American string band music, with eight albums, thousands of shows world-wide, over a decade of touring under their belts, and an entirely new generation of oldtime musicians following their lead. Through all this, they've never let the music grow cold; instead they've been steadily proving that American roots music is a never-ending well of inspiration. To Foghorn, this music is as relevant today as it was a century ago. They see themselves not as revivalists, but as curators and ardent fans, and their music is a celebration of these roots. They've brought in influences and inspirations from their many travels and late-night jam sessions. Old-time square dance tunes now rub shoulders with Cajun waltzes, vintage honky-tonk songs, and pre-bluegrass picking. This is the kind of bubbling musical brew which first intoxicated the American mainstream in the days when "country music" was just being invented.

Hey, Killer is the Local H’s first full-length record with drummer Ryan Harding and their eighth studio album overall. Hey, Killer was produced by longtime Local H collaborator Andy Gerber and recorded at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studio and Gerber’s own Million Yen Studios, both in Chicago. While Local H have earned praise in the past for their catalog of clever concept albums, they are forgoing a singular theme on Hey, Killer, turning out a non-stop blast of straight-up, hooky, guitar-heavy rock songs - - each one catchier than the last. Frontman Scott Lucas credits Harding’s addition to the band and a selfimposed time-crunch with the rush of inspiration that spawned Hey, Killer, which was written and recorded quickly at the end of last year.

Band:GRAAL
Album:CHAPTER IV
Label:JOLLY ROGER
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
The Italian quintet GRAAL first came to prominence in 2005 when it released its full-length debut album "Realm of Fantasy" (self-released on Cd and Lp). Since then the band has hooked up with label Bloodrock Records, and two new more productions have seen the light: "Tales Untold" in 2007 and "Legends Never Die" in early 2011. Also in 2013 Bloodrock reissued on double Lp their debut. "Chapter Iv", the brand new album, is far by the most mature and complete of their discography, underlining a constant and progressive growth. Musically Graal is placed well inside the retro-oriented hard rock universe: few touches of southern rock Molly Hatchet-style, some details heralding a plausible Deep Purple influence, others with similarities closer to Iron Maiden and early 80's UFO, with occasional additional flavorings folk-oriented.

Knowing Bob could handle all guitar duties in the studio, but being at a loss as to who would play drums, Bob called his old friend George Kollias (Nile) whom he played with in Nightfall back in the early ’00s. George loved the material and instantly agreed to record. Also featured as a guest on the album is a friend of Chandler’s from NYC, on the song Toy Soldiers, guitar god Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob). Once tracks were complete the band once again had the album mixed and mastered by the ‘Honorary Outloud Member’ Tommy Hansen in Denmark, and inked a fresh deal with AOR Heaven for the European territory, and continuing with Rubicon Records in Japan.
