Band:AMSG
Album:HOSTIS UNIVERSE GENERIS
Label:Profound Lore
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Canada’s A.M.S.G. have been recognized as one of the most unique, strangest, controversial yet polarizing black metal bands today. Upholding the true ancient spirit of black metal, without compromise whatsoever (musically and within the core beliefs of the band members), A.M.S.G. create their outsider death worship Luciferian black metal artistry that sets them apart pretty much from everything else going on in black metal today. By incorporating and harnessing the true black metal spirit through elongated melancholic yet vitriolic ritual-like hymns dedicated to the rejuvenation of the black light, A.M.S.G.’s music contains many layers and dimensions within its sound picture by also incorporating morose noir-ish saxophone passages, moments of harsh noise/power electronics, ritualistic spoken word segments, acoustic guitar and piano passages, and meticulous sampling. Following the band’s debut LP “Anti-Cosmic Tyranny”, the new A.M.S.G. album “Hostis Universe Generis” is unlike anything going on in black metal today and will stand as the most singular and distinct black metal album of the year.
The new A.M.S.G. album will stand as one of the strangest, most unique and distinct black metal albums of the year, unlike anything going on in black metal today. - A.M.S.G. uphold the true spirit of black metal without compromise whatsoever. - A must for fans of cult bands such as Destroyer 666, Abigor, Necromantia, Rotting Christ, Root, Mortuary Drape, and early Samael.

Band:DANDY WARHOLS
Album:LIVE AT THE XRAY CAFE
Label:BURNSIDE
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:Alt Rock
What did The Dandy Warhols sound like before they became world-famous practitioners of neopsychedelia and synthpop? What did they sound like during their eighth concert ever? Now we know: comfortable shifting between shoegaze and garage rock, confident in their stage banter and poised for world domination! Live at the X-Ray Cafe is the third release in Voodoo's "Tales from the Grease Trap" archival series. The recording, from July 8, 1994, was originally captured at Portland's legendary all-ages venue the X-Ray Cafe.

This is a 12” Vinyl EP with four tracks.

Band:OCTOPUS SYNG
Album:HOLLOW GHOST ROCHELLE SALT - CD
Label:MEGA DODO
Format:CD
Genre:Psychedelic Rock
Octopus Syng was formed in the summer of 1999 by the band’s guitarist and vocalist Jaire Pätäri. Drawing on the spirits of psychedelic innovators from both the USA (Velvet Underground, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane) and the UK (early Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Marc Bolan), Octopus Syng play exquisitely crafted songs that range from warm and sunny acoustic psych pop to acid tinged folk songs with hypnotic Kraut rock grooves and catchy jazzy rhythms. Gluing all the pieces together what you get is a band that plays a unique blend of neo‐classical psychedelic rock.
Hollow Ghost/Rochelle Salt is the band’s second album for Mega Dodo. It’s as strange, dark and melancholic as their previous album and every bit as good. Highlights include ‘Woman’, ‘Surrealistic Room’ and ‘Melancholy of Delight’.
Plays on CD players. Contains mildly hallucinogenic music.

Band:TRUTH AND JANEY
Album:NO REST FOR THE WICKED - LP
Label:LION PRODUCTIONS
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:Classic Rock/Metal
New 500x copy pressing of the first joint vinyl title released by Rockadrome and Lion Productions, sold out since 2011 !
“This is essential, must-get release for fans of 1970’s hard rock.” —Roadburn
“One of the greatest hard rock albums of all-time.” —The Acid Archives
High quality vinyl reissue of this hard rock monster from 1976 by legendary underground power trio led by guitarist BillyLee Janey •Includes insert with history of the group, lyrics and rare band photos!! •Considered by many to be perhaps the best independent U.S. heavy rock release of the 1970’s A total heavy sonic assault! Since the release of “No Rest for the Wicked’s” in 1976, it's stature among collectors of 60’s and 70’s hard rock and psychedelia has grown steadily over the years, with original copies now fetching large sums. Originally formed as Truth in 1969 in Iowa, USA, Truth & Janey was named after a record by Jeff Beck. Between 1973-75 they played thousands of gigs, many with Leslie West, as well as playing with Blue Öyster Cult at a festival in Davenport, Iowa in front of 20,000 hard rock fans. All the while, Truth & Janey were writing original material, gearing up to record their first full length album. In 1976, they laid down the tracks that would see release on their stunning “No Rest for the Wicked” album later that same year. The record featured six original tunes and two traditional blues covers revved up in true powerhouse Truth and Janey fashion. Only 1,000 copies of the album were pressed on the local Montross records. Just as the ball started rolling, it all ended, as Denis Bunce left the group and quickly thereafter they completely disbanded. In a last ditch effort, guitarist Billy Janey reformed the group with all new members in 1977 and released the “Just a Little Bit of Magic” album, but it was a move in a completely different direction and has little to do with the ferocious hard rock Marshall 100-watt super lead guitar sound that dominates “No Rest for the Wicked.” "Not to be dismissed because of its underground status, Truth and Janey's only LP, No Rest for the Wicked, was another incredible find..

Format:CD
Genre:Blues
Nick Moss Band’ latest is a double CD titled From the Root to the Fruit. This release presents the musical story of the birth and growth of the blues genre as it relates to popular music. “The first CD has a bit of 40's and 50's jump blues, Texas, Chicago, and Uptown sounds. The second CD focuses on progressive / experimental music and delves into 60's soul, garage punk sound, high rhythm, soul, and harder sounds,” says Moss. “I wanted to showcase my band. They're a group of guys who just keep growing musically and getting better and better. I also recognized that, as a band leader, I was growing too. And since From the Root to the Fruit is about the growth and development of music, it became an appropriate catalyst to tell the band's story and my story with the band.”
Double CD showcasing different styles of Blues. Nick Moss is a staple in the Chicago Blues Scene.

Band:ORACLES
Album:BEDROOM EYES
Label:THIS CHARMING MAN
Format:CD
Genre:Indie/Shoegaze
Oracles emerged from long-held friendships and musical cross-pollination via hazy bedroom sessions in the summer of 2013. They recorded and mixed their first EP ‘Stanford Torus’ in basements and closets between their hometowns of Berlin and Cologne, Germany. The six songs touched on the multitudes of musical interests and activities each member brought to the band – psychedelia and shoegaze, Krautrock and early electronica, Highlife, Afrobeat as well as classic Disco. All of this moldedinto a wash of tape saturation created a music of a blissful yet somber warmth like a bonfire on a pitch-black and deserted plain. Soon after, ‘Stanford Torus’ was released via Clouds Hill Recordings and garnered some international recognition: ‘Our new favourite psyche pop band’ (The Quietus); ‘They’re shit-hot!’ (Pete Doherty); ‘Buzz Band Of The Week’ (NME).
In the period to follow, a few things started to fall in place for Oracles: two German headline tours, supports shows for The Libertines and Allah-Lahs, festival appeareances at Reeperbahn Festival, c/o Pop, Dockville, Immergut, Maifeld Derby, Puls Festival, Way Back When, Appletree Garden, Copenhagen Psych Fest among others and invitations to New York City’s CMJ Music Marathon, Austin’s SXSW and Brighton’s The Great Escape followed in a frame of just one and a half years.
Meanwhile, ideas piled up, as did unexpected yet standard business moves. In an instant, the band found themselves left to their own devices. A long search yielded a beautiful farmhouse in Northern Germany, to which they withdrew for three cold weeks to record among cattle, horses and howling winds. Each day in the old stables was commenced by the sparking of the fireplace – and twelve songs were to unwind in this process of self-recording and -producing. ‘Bedroom Eyes’ is Oracles’ first longplaying outing. It’s taken from a lyric of the upbeat, sphynxian ‘Thoughts Of Love On The Verge Of Sleep’. The title does a good job of sketching what Oracles embody on their debut album: examining, bemoaning and celebrating their lives and loves with all the fissures, losses, turns and joys with one dissecting and one passionate eye.

Band:THE HOSTILES
Album:LAST CALL
Label:BUBBLE TEA
Format:CD
Genre:Punk / Reggae
The Hostiles are a ska-punk band from Ayr, Scotland, described by Punktastic.com as ‘upbeat, effervescent, bouncy and danceable’. Reflecting the transatlantic origins of the band members themselves, their sound introduces sunny US ska-punk to slamming Scottish ska-core, dragging the best of both of these musical worlds kicking and screaming onto the stage. The Hostiles’ live show is detonated by the meeting of these highly-combustible elements, underpinned by the two-pronged brass backbone of trumpet and trombone, and the band’s relentless drive to perform. Since releasing their debut album in 2009, The Hostiles have played hundreds of gigs and captured cult followings in Scotland, England and far beyond.

Band:NEBELUNG
Album:MISTELTEINN
Label:TEMPLE OF TORTUROUS
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:FOLK METAL
When ten years ago Nebelung released its debut Mistelteinn on the now defunct Dresden label Eislicht – known for its genre defining releases in neofolk –, it received wide attention despite all its technical imperfections. Through the haze of a band taking its first steps into acoustic music and singing, the album seemed to manifest a nature mysticism as pure and heartfelt as it is seldom experienced. Sold out since half a decade, and never rereleased, the album now finally gets a new treatment. Completely rerecorded, and partially rearranged, the songs on Mistelteinn are presented here in a new light. The delicacy of the picked guitars, the mournful melancholy of the cello, and the matured and warm sonority of the voice reveal the craftsmanship Nebelung has acquired over the decade of its existence. Where the official release revealed merely a glimpse of its beautiful and pristine wilderness, this rerelease finally pulls the listener deep into its world, singing nature’s hymn, clear and unimpeded. Mistelteinn is released by Temple of Torturous on white vinyl in an edition of 300 copies.

Album:CYBER RENDEZVOUS
Label:Analogue Trash
Format:CD
Genre:Dance/Electronica
Originally formed in 1986 by Gary Watts and Andrew Stirling-Brown, Hereford-based electronic band Nature of Wires toured regularly until 1994, playing a mixture of covers & originals; self-releasing their debut Modus Operandi album in 1993. In November 2014, Gary began composing music again, later forming an unlikely partnership with Maren Northway, otherwise known as CountessM – a prolific and respected vocalist and lyricist from Fullerton, California. July 2016 sees the release of the highly anticipated new album from Nature of Wires and CountessM. Over 20 years in the making and featuring ten brand new tracks, Cyber Rendezvous is the brainchild of two very distinct yet complementary talents. Brooding and uncompromising; stark, brutalist percussion juts menacingly from below ethereal string and synth arrangements, while CountessM’s crooning vocals and poetic lyrics spin intricate tales of subversion, love, longing and betrayal.

Band:K2 WITH ES
Album:BLACKHoLE
Label:MUSIK ATLACH
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial / Experimental
The unique collaboration of K2, the mad doctor Kimihide Kusafuka's solo project with .es, the piano and sax improvisation duo that goes to and fro between contemporary and passion. Coalescence of mineral- like noise with the improvisation of which pulsation reaches out to skin is something like a space probe that organic and inorganic matter has fused, and has given a life to a harsh dystopia played by sudden strange creatures. The sound that gives uncanny reconciliation and panic to people, as chimera-like figure procuring semipermanent tranquility, has turned into a humane machinery and found itself at the event horizon, and soon will deviate from the visual light range and embrace fulfilled silence.RIYL Merzbow etc.

Band:NOVAKILL
Album:DANGER
Label:Repo
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
NOVAkILL return in 2016 with their fourth and strongest album, (D)ANGER. More than six years in the making, this album represents the biggest leap forward in the band’s 20 year history. Every song is a potential single, from the haunting Gone to the stompin’ dancefloor fodder of Zombie Killerz. This is high powered EBM of the highest order, with a Punk edge that makes it truly Cyberpunk. Much of the improvement has come from the working method the band have used to create (D)ANGER. Where Bones and Sik had previously worked on songs individually, this release sees eleven songs that are true collaborations, with input from both members. The results of this new working method speak for themselves, with an album that is consistent from start to finish.

Band:CATAPLEXY
Album:DEVANGELIGHT
Label:ZERO DIMENSIONAL
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Forget keyboards and other innovations ; Cataplexy interprets a quality orthodox Black Metal. Anyone listening to Taake, Darkthrone and other perky groups is in familiar ground. Like their colleagues from the other end of the world,this band develops dark and desperate atmospheres, marked by great violence. The assault ends with the excellent and epic Lifelessdawn, which leaves you with a good general impression. All fifty minutes of Devangelight that those samurais have perfect masterpiece. The cruel nihilistic dark beautiful melody of Black Metal and obscure hymns. This Japanese Black Metal band which comes alive in 1991 and the first recording source by cataplexy new organization. It's nihilistic and dreadful with a sadistic dark beautiful melody, maybe it's devious, written concept album. Composition beauty of more refined music and a crying inevitable darkness beauty of melody are conspicuous! This is definitely some of the best black metal acts from Asia.

Band:NERODIA
Album:VANITY UNFAIR
Label:MASTERPIECE
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Nerodia's serpent's lair is born around late 2004 by guitarist & vocalist Giulio Serpico Marini and bass player Davide Villa. With its roots deeply anchored in old school raw thrash with a punk attitude, the band soon evolves itself to a more actual black metal style, heavily influenced by european Black and Death metal acts. The first remarkable live apparition of the band is dated in 2007, with drummer Francesco Latini and guitar player Luca Fois on second guitar. After a bunch of successful live performances the band records its first selftitled demo in 2008, which receives very good reviews and leads to the recordings of the first album, Heretic Manifesto. Unfortunately the collaboration with Davide ends before the recording session, so the bass duties are left to Valerio, which stays in the band just for the recordings and some shows. The album, available exclusively in digital support, receives very good reviews, and the band keeps hitting the stage promoting it. After few gigs Ivan Contini joins Nerodia on bass guitar and Dario teams up on second guitar, in 2010.ÂDuring the Summer of 2012, the band is close to giving up because of line up problems, so takes its time to gather up ideas and renew the line up. October 2012 is a crucial month for Nerodia: David Folchitto (Stormlord, Screaming Banshees) is recruited to help on drums and Marco Montagna (VII Arcano) is called to arms on lead guitars. The renewed and proud combo unleashes its first bullets in a live set with Aura Noir, setting the basis for a what will be the 2013 version of Nerodia: faster, heavier, more direct and more raw than before! For all fans of Destruction, The Crown
