Band:BEASTMILK
Album:CLIMAX
Label:SVART
Format:CD
Genre:Post Punk
"Apocalyptic visions and a wicked sense of humor populate audio nightmares as Beastmilk create visceral, unsettling death rock for the elite", wrote Pitchfork of the band whose highly anticipated debut album poignantly combines haunting clean vocals, darkly shimmering melodies, and a throbbing rhythmic pulse to create an atmospheric yet energetic journey into post-punk's past, present, and definitely its future..."
"Elements of a gloomier Joy Division, an angrier Echo & The Bunnymen, a medicated Killing Joke, and even a lush layering of Peter Murphy" - all this, and vastly more, describes the immediately memorable 3D darkness of Beastmilk. Born in 2010 during a nuclear winter in Helsinki, Finland, the void-mothers of Beastmilk kick out an irradiated dust of what they appropriately dub "apocalyptic post-punk." Their debut demo, White Stains On Black Tape, sold out quickly and earned the attention of Darkthrone's Fenriz, who made it one of his favorites of 2010.
In June 2013, they flew out to Boston, USA to record at GodCity Studio with the legendary Kurt Ballou (Converge), who produced their debut full-length album, Climax; the members of Converge found Beastmilk online, loved them, and ordered both their 7"s, with Ballou soon offering to produce their debut album at his world-famous studio. The result is Climax, an album of dark, driving anthems that work their magic instantly upon the first notes - fall in with the fallout and get down with BEASTMILK!

Band:THE SUBURBS
Album:SI SAUVAGE
Label:BURNSIDE
Format:CD
Genre:Alt Rock
Some 35 years ago, The Suburbs were the very first act signed to the (now) legendary Twin/Tone label in Minneapolis/St. Paul. As their career blossomed, they were later signed to both Mercury and A & M Records. As happens, they went on hiatus, put out a Greatest Hits album, played the occasional reunion show, had lineup changes and now, regrouping, have their first new album in over two and a half decades, Si Sauvage. This is not just another trip down memory lane but a vital new album of songs by a band who can (and does) still deliver.
"The Minneapolis new wave punk outfit maintains it quirky spunk and funky pop energy." -The New Yorker
1st band signed to legendary Minneapolis rock label Twin Tone, also home to The Replacements, The Jayhawks and Soul Asylums' early recordings. This is their 13th record having successfully recorded for Mercury and A&M.

Band:MOS GENERATOR
Album:IN CONCERT
Label:ROADBURN
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Mos Generator “In Concert” captures the band in a high pressure live situation. “We were opening for Saint Vitus on that tour and every night we had to go out and prove ourselves. On the night of this recording we had a very tough audience. I could tell by walking through the crowd before we went on that it was going to be a hard night. In situations like that we have a tendency to turn to each other for support on stage. As soon as we walked out we could feel the energy change, the people wanted into our circle. On the record you can hear it start as soon as we walk out. It was a great feeling and we ended up playing the show with two mindsets. The introvert and the extrovert. I was very surprised and pleased with the outcome”

Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
ANCIENT WARLOCKS are: Darren Chase ‐ whose solid rhythm guitar work and punk flavored delivery of Fuzz drive the riffs.

Anthony ‘Oni’ Timm ‐ a dynamic and energetic bassist with thick, rolling grooves that belie his noise rock influence. Steve Jones ‐ whose veteran status, behind both the drums and the recording console, give him invaluable insight into keeping heads nodding and bodies moving to the grooves.

Band:CONNECT ICUT
Album:CROWS AND KITTIWAKES WHEEL AND COME AGAIN
Label:AAGOO RECORDS
Format:CD
Genre:Avantgarde/Electronic
A new entry in the REV. Lab series is connect_icut’s Crows & Kittiwakes Wheel & Come Again. Connect_icut is an electronic music producer based in Vancouver, Canada. His releases include Moss (Dehausset CD, 2005), They Showed Me the Secret Beaches (CSAF LP, 2008) and Fourier's Algorithm (CSAF download, 2010). These albums have received a good deal of critical acclaim. Most notably, Secret Beaches was praised in Thurston Moore and Byron Coley's Arthur magazine column, as well as in The Wire, which commented that it was "(a)lways involving - and easily rewarding enough to make getting up and turning the record over an anticipatory pleasure." The music itself combines the disruptive "glitch" techniques of Oval with the melodic noise rock of My Bloody Valentine. It anchors all manner of chaotic abstraction in a solid foundation of three-chord pop. It is also fundamentally grounded in hands-on performance and spontaneous composition. Live connect_icut appearances have included support slots for a number of notable electronic artists including Oneohtrix Point Never and Loscil.

Band:KK NULL / ISRAEL MARTINEZ / LUMEN LAB
Album:TERRA INCOGNITA
Label:AAGOO RECORDS
Format:CD
Genre:Avantgarde/Electronic
These works are a collaboration between the Japanese figure of experimental electronic music, KK Null, and Mexican artists and brothers Israel and Diego Martinez.
Diego is best known as Lumen lab, and both are mentors of the label Abolipop -Suplex. The process started at the end of 2012 when Kazuyuki Kishino, based in Tokyo and Israel Martinez in Berlin, started to share electronic sounds and field recordings. They tried making new pieces exploring various approaches to composition such as the recording of improvisation sessions, the capturing of the soundscape and incorporating some electroacoustic computer processes. After several exchanges, Israel invited Lumen lab to participate in the project from Zapopan, Mexico. The two had not worked together since 2002 when Israel was part of Lumen lab. Sharing this experience with an early influential musician of the 90's electronic and experimental scene provided a good moment. The process of exchanging isolated sounds and then fragments of composi- tion continued. The three musicians worked using each others' lead. Eight months after moving back to Mexico, Israel together with Diego and Kazuyuki, finished four pieces called Incognita, now available on CD as an album. In addition, they composed work for a limited edition vinyl, Terra. It includes the first track of Incognita, which makes it especially appealing for vinyl collectors. The result of this collaboration shows the different profiles of the musicians, from the semi-rhythmic and powerful electronic dynamism of KK Null and Lumen lab to the deep drones and the convulsive field recording's treatment of Israel Martinez. Incognita and Terra Incognita are a celebration of sound as a bridge of communication between people of diverse geographies and generations, sharing respect for each other's work and their cultural context. Friendship, reflection and teamwork.

Band:ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
Album:MAN IN A SUITCASE
Label:NETWORK
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:TV and MOVIE
Official vinyl release (one off pressing) . Music by Albert Elms with the legendary theme by Ron Grainer. All in glorious Mono.
A discredited ex-CIA agent reduced to working as a private investigator, McGill travels the world as a ‘gun for hire’. In place of the glitz and glamour of sixties private eyes, his world is one of uncertainty, tough decisions and a constant struggle to survive. Richard Bradford’s astonishing method acting gives Man in a Suitcase a genuine edge and intensity that’s reflected in Ron Grainer’s driving, relentless main title, a dynamic theme employing strident piano and brass that has become a genre classic. Against this dynamic signature tune, Albert Elms’ incidental cues provide contrasting moods throughout the series, reflecting a diverse range of global settings and following every pitfall on the rocky career path of the outsider known only as McGill.
Never before released on vinyl - New transfers from original analogue tape elements - Mastering/vinyl cutting by Ray Staff - High quality pressing by the renowned Pallas pressing plant in Germany - 180g virgin vinyl – superb sound reproduction!

Band:ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
Album:RANDALL AND HOPKIRK (DECEASED)
Label:NETWORK
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:TV and MOVIE
Never before available on vinyl with stunning new transfers..the original soundtrack selections of the cult TV show with music by Edwin Astley in glorious Mono.
Working from a shabby suite of offices in Central London, Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk are two private detectives with a twist - one of them's a ghost! With both theme and incidental music supplied by the versatile Edwin Astley, he returns here to the harpsichord - an instrument he had previously employed to great effect in the theme for the hour-long Danger Man series. Astley furnished Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) with a minor key main title theme, the lead instrument intoning a plaintive melody over an upbeat, rhythmic brass section - perfectly matching the series’ balance of drama and humour. The harpsichord recurs throughout the incidental cues, as well as providing a memorable ‘sting’ whenever the ghostly Marty pops in and out of the action.

Band:NADINE CARINA
Album:THINGS THAT PEOPLE LOVE TO REMEMBER
Label:African Tape
Format:CD
Genre:Folk
Born in Switzerland but currently residing in Liverpool, Nadine graduated from the renowned Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts and is now releasing her six song EP this Autumn. Nadine plays acoustic guitar but likes to experiment with looping vintage toys, small percussive instruments and electronic drum beats. Her vocals have previously lent Nadine fans from some of music’s favourite outlets including The 405, Artrocker and Bido Lito Magazine as well as support slots for Coco Rosie, MS MR and How To Dress Well so far this year. Lead track, The Love, was one of the first tracks written for the EP and is based upon a romance that didn’t go to plan, with a girl infactuated by a boy whose feelings were not mutual. Bon Iver was Nadine’s main influence when writing this song, which has already had plays from new emerging music lovers, Amazing Radio. Nadine’s songs for the EP were initially based around the idea of things that she and other people often think about, memories that play a major part in a person’s life leading to the EP’s title Things That People Love To Remember. Her well curated percussive and electronic lines create atmospheric landscapes that sound much greater than the solo performances Nadine plays.

What is the connection?
On first impression not much. On stripping down both rhytms Mad Professor found that they are quite similar, with Samba being a close cousin to the Mento / Calypso beats from which Reggae and Dub evolved!
Clearly, music is the main culture to survive the journey across the Atlantic during the slave trade : Samba Dub Experience is the main theme of that journey!!

Band:BLIZARO
Album:STRANGE DOORWAYS
Label:ATMF
Format:2CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Known mainly as the founder of superb doomsters ORODRUIN and now-defunct black metallers CRUCIFIST, John Gallo has many alter egos and exciting musical incarnations, though BLIZARO is certainly the most adventurous and unpredictable of all. BLIZARO's songs are like dark portals leading to mysterious and macabre dimensions populated by mutants, ghosts, ghouls, and other unearthly presences. John Gallo tells us their stories of horror and madness using his own peculiar doom rock language, assisted by the unquestionable talents of Mike Waske (drums) and Mark Rapone (bass).
Musically, the band shortens the distances between the American way of doom and the school of Paul Chain and Black Hole, at the same time combining the so called "dark sound" and the heavy-psych/prog rock styles of the Seventies with the frightening synth-driven soundtracks composed by Goblin and Fabio Frizzi for Italian horror movies like Suspiria and The Beyond. BLIZARO demo recordings: "Horror Rock" (2006), "Blue Tape" (2008, with a cameo from Peter Vicar of Reverend Bizarre fame!), an expanded version of "The Old Wizard Of Winter" (2009), and the amazing "Blak Majicians" album (2012). Plus lots of rare, unreleased and never-heard-before tracks directly from John Gallo's vaults!
The 2-CD release comes with a luxurious 20-page full-colour booklet featuring extra artwork by Costin Chioreanu, rare band photos, plentiful liner notes by John Brenner of REVELATION, and track-by-track commentaries provided by John Gallo himself!

Band:LORN
Album:SUBCONCIOUS METAMORPHOSIS
Label:ATMF
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Born in 2002 as a traditional black metal act, the Italian band Lorn has forged a new and personal metal language, better suited to the ambitious concept behind its long-awaited sophomore album, "Subconscious Metamorphosis". Conceived in austere solitude on the Dolomites mountains, immersed in a portentous amalgam of trance-inducing black metal and menacing cosmic ambient, "Subconscious Metamorphosis" is a long mental voyage through cold dark tunnels, a continuous and violent hammering on the joints of reality, to unhinge them and open new vistas on interior landscapes. In its brave rejection of the most obvious metal schemes and norms, Lorn's music propitiates the definitive conjunction between mind and spirit, microcosm and macrocosm, to win the fear of unknown and be triumphantly reborn in the blinding black light of a new awareness.

Pressed in a run of only 250 vinyl copies in 1972, it has barely been heard since. It is presented here complete with detailed background notes and rare photographs, and is a truly essential addition to any folk collection.

Brilliant debut by a band that has already created a name for themselves by intensive touring and energetic live shows.

Combined with the vocal talents of singer Benny Åberg, the monolithic rhythm-section of bass player Tommy Nilsson and drummer Gustav Kejving, OLD MAN`S WILL has created an album which would stand on its own alongside legends such as DEEP PURPLE and LED ZEPPELIN. This record had might as well been recorded during that time. Stunning artwork by Felix Nilsson. An instant classic!

While all of us are very different from each other, one could surely say that in some senses, we're fairly similar too. THREE SEASONS is a mash-up of our thoughts, minds and bodies, together forming sounds possibly reminding of bands and musicians such as DEEP PURPLE, LED ZEPPELIN, PINK FLOYD, JIMI HENDRIX, THE DOORS, BLACK SABBATH, FREE, GOV'T MULE, MOUNTAIN and SANTANA.

Album:GO UP IN SMOKE
Label:BASEMENT APES INDUSTRIES
Format:LP
Genre:Grindcore
With Go up in smoke, ANORAK has given an album that holds up to their classic repertoire of grind 'n roll, delivering another milestone in their career.

Band:PARHELION / ZAC KEILLER
Album:FARTHEST NORTH
Label:cyclic law
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
Farthest North is the result of a musical collaboration between Canada's Parhelion and Australian sound artist Zac Keiller. The idea originated while they both were treading similar thematic ground with their individual projects, mainly, that of using the far north as an artistic muse. The end result of their effort is a record that, through the prism of its authors, focuses on capturing the essence of this extreme landscape, eschewing the romanticized and instead focusing on the stark, cold immensity and volatility of a place located at the ends of the world. Teetering between the hauntingly sparse and the occasionally chaotically dense, the music attempts to mirror the landscape's primitive elements through its sonic interpretations, weaving together both a personal and impersonal narrative drawn from the geography, atmosphere and psychical character of one of the most forlorn realms known to men. Comes with a bonus DVD of a special collage of the album tracks set to abstract nordic landscapes for a uniquely immersive audio visual experience. Edition of 500 copies

Band:FUNERARY CALL
Album:THE MIRROR REVERSED PART ONE
Label:cyclic law
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
It is with great honour that we welcome Canada's unique and by now legendary Black Ambient act Funerary Call to our family. For this new opus Harlow Macfarlane found inspiration from personal interpretations of the Tree of Death and what is considered to represent the reverse or occult side of the Tree of Life, a diagram of the negative forces or Qliphoth (hebrew, Shells) assigned to each Sephiroth. They represent the counter-forces of the ten divine emanations as described by the ancient Qabalists and the paths or tunnels that connect to these infernal realms and the various demonic forces that inhabit them. The constant shifting of sounds and tones are a metaphoric reflection of these various "shells" and chaotic entities. Built as one continuous piece with various chapters, this new album serves as a vehicule for delving deply into the shadow side. Edition of 500 copies

Band:LE MUR
Album:SILENTIA NOVA
Label:SIREENA
Format:LP
Genre:Kraut / Space Rock
LE MUR call their music heavy-dark-trip-rock with prog influences and space. And in fact, that hits it. The songs are heavy, partly grim (sometimes reminiscent of the Velvet Underground), there is rampant instrumental sections with a dash of Hawkwind, and when Matthias Graef then unexpectedly picks up the saxophone, strong memories come to the magnificent Out Of Focus. They worshiped the heroes of the seventies, but they are not copied.
"Silentia Nova", the second one in a planned trilogy, will be released in a limited vinyl edition. The first 500 LPs are of colored vinyl and hand numbered and come in 180 gram heavy-weight material. The cover is painted by legendary Helmut Wenske (NEKTAR etc.) So not only a musical treat, but also an exquisite rarity. Ultimately, the board of a band that you will certainly hear in the future! We promise!

The result? Extended emotional sonic adventures that sizzle with drama, humaility and humanity.

Genre:Death Metal
Martyr’s long hailed 1997 debut. Intricate & advanced Death Metal, the brainchild of Canadian metal-legend Daniel Mongrain (GORGUTS, VOIVOD). WAY ahead of its time. Sound of Perserverance-era DEATH is an accurate point of comparison to Hopeless Hopes-era Martyr. Disciplined rhythms, classy uber-competent lead work, and even a Shuldiner-esque vocal approach from Mongrain. Hopeless Hopes was instantly received as a masterwork by world class musicians, and played an important role in helping shape the extreme spectrum of the genre which would emerge over the following years.

Continuing the progression of the previous 2 records, Feeding the Abscess really takes Death Metal to a level previously unachieved, incorporating distinct elements of well schooled Jazz-shred, pushing even the boundaries of avante-garde technical music. An absolute MUST for fans of modern extreme tech-death - but ahead of the curve, and much more listenable and composed than most of the frantic works the genre has produced as of late.

In Dis Pater's visions - built on ambient-black metal, symphonic arrangements and funeral doom abysses - Acheron, Cocytus, Pyriphlegethon, Lethe and Styx become places of the soul, where the dead face their despair and are left to wander eternally, drowning in their own memories and miseries, waiting for a merciful hand to save them or cancel their existence forever. Over 1 hour in length, the CD will be accompanied by a luxurious 24-page full-colour booklet with all lyrics, Dis Pater's notes, and the superb paintings by the Flemish visionary artist Erik Heyninck, a true master of Surrealism.
