Band:VIDEOGRAM
Album:Gladiatori dell Apocalisse
Label:CINEPLOIT
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:Cinematic Music
Since its inception, Magnus Sellergren's Videogram project has been constantly surprising listeners with blending fresh new styles with a healthy dose of inspiration from classic genre cinema soundtracks. Every record had its own theme, meticulously followed by each instrumental. On his latest EP, Sellergren took on sound of the golden era of post-apocalyptic movies, with all of their grime and strangeness, and owned it. "Gladiatori dell'Apocalypse" sees Videogram following quite a different sonical path than the ones he explored on previous records. The signature sound is still present, but the tracks are more beat-sy, flashy and oddly danceable. If you ever wanted to get down in the wasteland, the soundtrack's right here. More than an excercise in imagining the music of the depraved, gasoline-deficient, steel and leather clad unspecified future, the latest EP shows an evolution of Videogram. Whether you've been following his music from day one, or just discovered the project, "Gladiatori..." offers a rich and immersive sound with a flawless production. - Jan Klein, Trash Mutant
Hot on the heels of the well-received "Camp Blood" 10" picture disc, Magnus Sellergren, aka Videogram, set out to expand his sounds with the Italian-titled eight-track post-apocalyptic EP "Gladiatori dell'Apocalisse". Intended as a mini-soundtrack for an imaginary 1980's genre effort, Videogram drew inspiration from such vast and varied sources as Goblin's "Buio Omega", Paul Hardcastle, Claudio Simonetti's solo soundtrack work of the 1980's, novelty disco tracks and Piero Umiliani; effortlessly blending them together to create a sound that is truly his own. Not the first effort on this genre (post-apocalyptic tracks appeared on both his "S/T" digital debut and "Pre-Cert" on Cineploit), this allnew EP sees a technical and compositional growth from the artist, creating a new and exciting path for soundtrack-influenced music! If you're into dark and interesting synth wave, check Videogram out. Inspired by '80s post-apocalyptic and exploitation films, this music perfectly personifies the glory of analogue action and horror. I'm a fan of Videogram for life...and beyond! - david j. moore, author of WORLD GONE WILD: A SURVIVOR'S GUIDE TO POST-APOCALYPTIC MOVIES and THE GOOD, THE TOUGH, AND THE DEADLY: ACTION MOVIES AND STARS.

Band:HOLLOW SUNSHINE
Album:BIBLE SEA
Label:IRON PIER
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:Indie/Shoegaze
Bible Sea is the new all-electronic MLP from California’s Hollow Sunshine, the duo of acclaimed visual artist Reuben Sawyer (Deafheaven, Chelsea Wolfe, art, etc.) and Morgan Enos (Other Houses, Hheaven). In contrast to Hollow Sunshine’s previous LPs Held Above and Bring Gold, Bible Sea ditches all semblance of a rock band in favor of disfigured samples, 808 sequences, and driving industrial percussion. A harsh, otherworldly musical atmosphere is soothed by Enos’s melodic vocal approach. Enos sees the lyrical theme of this lush darkwave masterpiece as “spiritual weaponry” while main instrumentalist Reuben Sawyer says that the sounds are “cold and alienating, which is a good thing… the vocals remain sensitive while the music is buried in this digital muck and can’t find a way out.
Previous Praise for Hollow Sunshine: “a sublime slice of downer pop” (Pitchfork); “do not be ashamed of your love for really good dreampop” (Invisible Oranges); “a unique conflation” of abrasion and effervescence” (IMPOSE Magazine).
For fans of Galaxie 500,In My Rosary, Salem, Lycia, MBV, Mazzy Star, Have A Nice Life, and Yo La Tengo.

Label:BLACK BASSETT

Genre:Postrock / Post Hardcore / Noise
Lying somewhere between the worlds of noise-rock and electronic music since 2011, QUADRUPÈDE have developed their own blend of instrumental music with an experimental yet danceable approach.

Following a first EP that has seen them touring in France, Germany and Benelux, including shows with acts such as LITE, Papier Tigre, Woodkid, Adebisi Shank or Lost In The Riots, Quadrupède released T O G O B A N in December 2014. The sold-out album is now re-pressed (on cream vinyl) by popular demand! - Limited edition of 250 copies on cream vinyl.

Band:LORD VICAR
Album:THE GATES OF FLESH
Label:THE CHURCH WITHIN
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
The Gates of Flesh is the third album from Lord Vicar.
The tracking of the album was undertaken by the core of the band – Kimi, Gareth and the legendary Lord Chritus, with bass duties being split between Kimi and Gareth. Sami is not featured on the album but has been taking care of bass for live shows. Deliberately shorter than previous albums, the band sought to concentrate their trademark heaviness into shorter, punchier songs and fit the album onto a single vinyl LP. The result is an album that the band consider their most focused and intense release to date. Whilst this is definitely not a concept album, there is a loose lyrical theme relating to the pleasures and weaknesses of the flesh. Musically and lyrically the album covers a wide spectrum of textures from the fragile beauty of ‘A Woman Out Of Snow’ to the oppressive menace of ‘Leper, Leper’, with subtle details that reveal themselves to the listener with each subsequent listen.

Band:DARK FOREST
Album:BEYOND THE VEIL
Label:Cruz Del Sur
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
Dark Forest was forged in the Black Country, England by guitarist Christian Horton. For just over a decade they have been delivering their uniquely rousing, defiant heavy metal to the world. With the release of their self-made EPs in 2007, the band quickly gained the attention and support of the heavy metal underground, both in England and abroad, and then went from strength to strength, gigging across Europe and the UK and releasing their self titled debut album in 2009, then Dawn of Infinity in 2011. In 2012 Dark Forest recruited the outstanding vocalist Josh Winnard as their new front man and shortly afterwards also gained the incredible talents of guitarist Pat Jenkins. "Beyond The Veil" is the album that will consign DARK FOREST to the Olympus of Traditional Heavy Metal, their most mature offer so far. Classic Maiden duelling guitars combined with folk and acoustic interludes with many references to England's mythology. Strengthened by the beautiful Duncan Storr's artwork, (Skyclad, Rage, Elixir) the album is destined to be a top 2016 release!

Band:DEAD PROCESSION
Album:RITUAIS E MANTRAS DO MEDO PLUS DEMOS
Label:DUNKELHEIT
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
"A shadowy entity hailing from the fertile underground of Portugal, Dead Procession began in 2009 with a series of three, super-limited demo tapes - each limited to only 33 copies, in fact. The style back then was keyboard-driven ambient/drone, but with the release of a split 7" with fellow countrymen Black Cilice in 2013, Dead Procession developed its ambient/drone to include vocals, and also garnered more attention due to the fortuitous pairing: a shared sensibility of otherworldly wanderlust, of magisterial melancholy, despite utilizing seemingly opposed means. However, with Rituais e Mantras do Medo, Dead Procession display that a tangibly black metal atmosphere can be created without using any conventional black metal at all. Here, the development on the split with Black Cilice follows forward toward a ritualistic sort of drone/doom full of contemplation and wonderment, embracing the vast expanses of the natural world whilst remaining resolutely alone and isolated. Each of the five tracks across the album start with the barest of fundaments and then build from there, the textures subtly unfolding as the trance takes hold. In fact, the album title itself translates to "Rituals and Mantras of Fear" in English, and it's this very emphasis on the nightside that suggests that Dead Procession in general and Rituais e Mantras de Medo in particular together form a sort of "shadow self" to black metal but, again, not being remotely "black metal" by any conventional definition of the term."

Band:GURDAN THOMAS
Album:ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
Label:BESTE! UNTERHALTUNG
Format:CD
Genre:Folk
Gurdan Thomas brings high quality, low tech and unusual songwriting with a generous pinch of Oompah !
This 4 (sometimes 5) piece likeable yet chaotic band performs songs woven around quirky texts and subjects, arrangements inventively painted across their own unconformist musical landscape with the tonecolours of the human voice, charango, accordeon, ukulele, guitar, Helikon (Tuba), cornet (Trumpet), piano and other percussion. Sometimes a little crazy and with their Zappaesque attitude, always inventive, often bursting with their unfeigned, unfettered high energy acoustic driven ball of sound and at times vunerable and heartbreakingly fragile in quieter moments, sometimes simply drawing listeners into their infectious ryhthm infested dance but always remaining ‘Gurdan Thomas’.
Comparisons have however been drawn to Beirut, Ben Folds, The Band, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Andrew Bird, Colin McIntyre and The Divine Comedy.

Band:OKRA PLAYGROUND
Album:TURMIO
Label:NORDIC NOTES
Format:CD
Genre:Folk
Okra Playground, formed in 2010, is an ensemble made up of folk and rhythm music professionals. This six-person band’s fresh music captivates the listener with its hypnotic beat and mystical energy. The kantele and bowed lyre, both ancient folk instruments, coexist in a new, exciting symbiosis with modern instruments and soundscapes.
The music resulting from this interesting combination has roots deep in the Finnish soil, but its tallest branches spread out towards the the furthest reaches of world music. The strong voices of the three female singers, as well as the age-old lyrics, simultaneously take the listener to far-off places and close to home.
The musicians of this groundbreaking group are well known in the fields of folk and pop music – both in Finland and abroad. You can hear them in bands like Mari Kalkun & Runorun, Rönsy, Hohka, Siba Folk Big Band, Malmö, Ruber, Maija Kauhanen solo and Päivi Hirvonen solo.

Band:Suistamon Sahko
Album:Suistamon Electricity
Label:NORDIC NOTES
Format:CD
Genre:Folk
This folktronica band stirs up hysteria and makes you dance yourself into a trance. Anne-Mari Kivimäki and Eero Grundström create new Suistamo dance music with electronics and a Notka accordion. The combination results in fascinating work by crazy scientists. Dancers Reetta-Kaisa Iles and Tuomas Juntunen bring to the stage the power of song, scintillating motion and manic moves. The songs’ stories are inspired by, for instance, Suistamo’s old village maps, hydroelectric power plants and mills, scratchy archive tapes, folk poetry, trips to Karelia, and bumpy roads. Suistamon Sähkö has something new, something old, something blue and something borrowed.

Band:Uusikuu
Album:SUOMI NEITO
Label:NORDIC NOTES
Format:CD
Genre:Folk
“The Finns have managed to kill the whole passion of the fiery Argentinian tango, and what is left over is a sad story in minor key about lost love and no hope.”
Uusikuu are one of the most interesting and original interpreters of the rare and rather special genre, the Finnish tango. Their message: The Northern melancholy is the beautiful side of sadness. And even if the Finnish tango is not as full of obvious hot passion as its Argentinian or Uruguayan siblings, these three tango nations have more in common, than you would think… Uusikuu revisits the haunting and melancholy Finnish rhythms and melodies from the 1930s to 1960s, the glowing voice of the Finnish singer Laura Ryhänen acting as a tour guide to a journey through time into a uniquely Finnish world. Uusikuu’s repertoire does not include only tangos, but also fun and fast humppas, dreamy waltzes, and sleek and sophisticated foxtrot and swing numbers that will bring a smile to your face. Uusikuu strips the songs to their bare bones and then reconstructs them and decorates them with jazz, musette and blues influences. Though the songs are in Finnish, the universal language of music makes it easy to understand the stories that touch upon the deepest emotions of the human heart. Uusikuu has performed at concert halls, theatres, clubs, and various festivals, and has also been involved in theatre and film productions during the past nine years.

The Stockholm based Swedish band Svartanatt holds a classic and timeless sound that can be tracked back in time to the 60´s and 70´s.

The bands self titled debut album holds 10 tracks with a running time of 42 minutes that offers a new view of many things old.
”Straight outta Stockholm with a copy of the late 1960s concealed in their backpack, Svartanatt (it means 'black night', apparently) conjure up the early days of Rock with a track that's three quarters garage and nine fifths psychedelia. It's certainly much better than our grasp of basic math." - Classic Rock Magazine (UK)

Band:DAMIEN DONE
Album:STAY BLACK
Label:DEMONS RUN AMOK
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:Punk / Hardcore
Despite its arcane history, Stay Black made its way onto the hard drives of many, and songs were featured on the soundtracks of adult films and Vice Guide to Travel DVDs. Now, after years of missteps and odd circumstances, the refreshing (if not a bit chilling) studio recording will finally see a proper vinyl release.
Sparse, minimalist rock and roll dirges from Damien Moyal, frontman best known for his tenure in the hardcore punk band As Friends Rust. Damien Done makes a notable sonic departure from his more raucous past, instead crooning over bleak, droning, mostly acoustic-driven numbers that crawl like molasses, while tinted with dark and faraway hints of blues and metal.

Label:MEGA DODO
Format:Vinyl 7 Inch
Genre:Psych/Garage
Chicago neo‐psychedelic rock band The Luck of Eden Hall has been a fixture on the Chicago music scene since the 1990s, and they are “Phenomenal!”, says Jim DeRogatis of the NPR show Sound Opinions. Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins claims their first 7” on Limited Potential Records is “still one of my all time favorites.” With over 25 vinyl and CD releases, including nine full length albums, they have appeared in numerous articles in magazines including: Goldmine, Shindig, Record Collector and Bucketful of Brains. Their theme song for the PBS television show Moochie Kalala Detective’s Club, starring Tim Kazurinski (Saturday Night Live) got them nominated for an Emmy.
The new single The End of The Lane pays tribute to the classic psych singles of yore, with lush guitars, plenty of echo on the vocals, the warm sound of the mellotron and a rhythm section with an uncanny gift for melodic fills. The End of The Lane is a song that was inspired by superstar author Neil Gaiman's wonderful book titled The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Mr. Gaiman created a drawing for singer Greg Curvey to use on the front cover of this single. The rest, as they say, is history.

Band:VORTEX
Album:MOLOCH
Label:cyclic law
Format:CD DIGI
Genre:Industrial / Experimental
'Moloch' is the fourth and most epic album by the German ritual ambient project Vortex. Combining droning ambience, pounding percussive outbreaks and noisier elements they’ve crafted an apocalyptic soundtrack for urban decay. 'Moloch' means 'king' and is originally the name of an Ammonite god who was worshipped by the Phoenicians, the Canaanites and some North African cultures by sacrificing their own children to him. In later ages 'Moloch' has become a metaphor for an entity demanding a very costly sacrifice...Marcus Stiglegger says about the album’s inspiration; “In 2013 I visited New York City to see what was left of the unique mood i came to appreciate from the inspiring, New York based american cinema of the late 1970s. While visiting the shooting locations of films like Cruising, Taxi Driver, Wolfen, French Connection, Mean Streets, Maniac, and many more, I had a lot of strange encounters in the city streets. I continually felt absorbed by this Moloch of a metropolis which made me one of its demons - a hunter with a camera lens. This album and its artwork is the result of this intense and sometimes frightening episode in my life.' For the recording of this dark and impressively cinematic album, Stiglegger joined musical forces with Bergemann (Mink M. Ra), MARS & The Trail, Christoph Wirth and Patrick Kilian of Dvrtal and Rome Asleep. Besides field recordings the music was composed based on acoustic instruments like guitar, strings, flutes, jaw harp, various percussions and voices, joined by elaborate keyboard compositions.

Band:NIHIL (Feat. IN SLAUGHTER NATIVES
Album:VENTRE
Label:cyclic law
Format:CD/BOOK
Genre:Industrial / Experimental
Ventre is the cumulative work of French writer and graphic designer NIHIL. A singular fictional universe growing and mutating within since his childhood, where unconscious fears and forgotten memories emerge as grotesque figures populating surreal landscapes and where everything appears as symbols and disguised archetypes. An ever-changing and bizarre tale marked by mystical heights and regressive downfalls. Ventre started in 2004 as a series of short texts and soon developed to include imagery as well, exploring transcendence and identity matters. After more than ten years of work, the Ventre art book collects ten cryptic and philosophical texts and seventy-five portraits of saints and martyrs, including a retrospective of past works and a number of previously unreleased ones. The book comes with a unique soundtrack composed especially for this project by Swedish pioneer of the ambient industrial IN SLAUGHTER NATIVES, which has infused most of NIHIL’s work since the early days and both have also become close collaborators. The music contributes to create a complete sensitive experience along with the texts and images, in a natural symbiosis of atmospheres and inspirations. Limited Edition of 300 Copies. Book Format: 7x10". Hardbound cover with Matte Lamination. 115 pages. CD: 7 Tracks.
