TAIGA 'Hsheal' LP - PREORDER


We are now taking pre-orders for the TAIGA 'Hsheal' LP, due for release December 8.
All pre-orders ship December 8

Taiga is the solo space monniker of Bryant Clifford Meyer from Red Sparowes, Windmills By The Ocean, Isis and The Gersch.
The LP is limited to 750 copies, 180gr vinyl (100 fluo green, 150 solid yellow, and 500 black). This will be a one time pressing, once they're gone they're gone for good!
The LP comes with a download coupon for digital listening pleasure.

Carlo Steegen wrote this when listening to the record:
People who have accumulated a large sleep debt are dangerous. Their pulse rate doubles during nightmares and can lead to uncontrollable insomnia. Taiga's electronic hymns are deeply personal and spiritual, complex riddles that are buried under post-traumatic tape hiss and disturbing reverb. An aura that's beamed from another dimension, echoing down your spine.
Shimmering hypnotics that force dialogue, no seasonal offering of spring mountain-tops but a heartening experience, both precise and organic, that just seems to regenerate itself. Offshore aquatic trance that casts delicate shadows on the floor. Imagine awakening from a cold sweat coma, still paralyzed, but awestruck by space and shuffling movements of ghost hunters breathing through inflatable weapons.
A micro cinematic voyage that feels like Peter Fonda's dazzling appearance in the '67LSD epic The Trip. An old sea with tales yet to tell... Gradually the brain shows signs of fatigue and the haunting question is, why don't you wake up?

New age minimalism and post-ambient clouds highly influenced by Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Brian Eno, Cluster and Terry Riley.

Monno - Ghosts preorder



We are doing the new MONNO album due for release November 21. For you unaware about this band, MONNO is a Swiss / Canadian band around Antoine Chessex and Gilles Aubry. Antoine Chessex travels the world with his solo tenor sax performances, he has performed and played with Sudden Infant, Chris Corsano, KTL, Hijokaidan, Lasse Marhaug, Aethenor, Zbigniew Karkowsky and many more. Gilles Aubry is known for his solo sound installations, field recordings and collaborations with Keiji Haino, Axel Doerner and the improv duo The Same Girl.
With MONNO they are more than the sum of their parts. This is the third MONNO album we are involved in, the first album Candlelight Technology was released on our sister label Subdeviant Records, and is temporarely available from the band only. Their second album ‘Error’ was released in 2006, the vinyl went out of print almost straight away and the CD was well received, and got the band to tour with Lightning Bolt, Isis, Jesu and Knut. And now there is ‘Ghosts’, their 3rd album. Etheric yet droning vocals covered in doom frost, gradually moving into uptempo black metal waters, than backdropping in sludge mystery like a free-jazz bat in the night…. We are printing shirts exclusive available for pre-order in our webstore. Pre-orders run from today until November 16. All payed pre-orders will ship on the releasedate of November 21. Pre-orders consist of the shirt (choose your size) and either the CD or Vinyl (choose your color) for only 18.95 euro.
The LP is a one time pressing of 500 copies, 100 on silver vinyl for mailorder customers only.
If you only want the vinyl without the shirt please add the item to your wishlist, you'll receive a mail a couple of days prior the actual release date so you'll have the chance to order the album before it becomes generally available.
You can Preorder the package here

Envy/Jesu & Maninkari orders

Thanks to all who already ordered the Envy/Jesu and Maninkari records. We are currently doing our best to send everyone their moneyrequests and charge their credit cards but please keep in mind that we have received a ton of orders and that this might take a while, so please be patient.
the Conspiracy

ENVY / JESU 's/t' LP & MANINKARI 'Art Des Poussieres' LP / MP3 now in stock !

Hello,
Here's a reminder that the ENVY / JESU 'st' LP & MANINKARI 'Art Des Poussieres' LP / MP3 are available as of today!

ENVY have never left their emotionally unstable path of heavy postrock oaths, but again they've cracked open it's core and stripped the sound down to it's epic essence. Always passionate and persistent, most motivational products create unrealistic expectations but stay blind in the mist. Resembling a dose of insomnia, Envy blaze like a grey wind through the cream of the Japanese screamo-postrock crop. Shuffling forward with solitude and starring at a dying light, an unknown glow. Splendid emotionally layered riffs and carved drums guide, and give understanding of despair. Deeply wandering through thick clouds of post-hardcore guitar dust, musically chanelling the remorseless pieces that lead to the dark side. They continue to swing like an eternal pendulum. A coma may also result from head trauma, caused by the mechanisms such as a fall or headlock. Ever since it's formation in 2003, guru Justin K. Broadrick has let no one come close to the throne. He comes and asks questions later. On this new slab he incorporates melodic twisted pop elements with downtempo heavyness, creating a stark textured vessel intoxicated by the minimalism of cold techno drama. JESU holds on to the feeling of eternity, still being a modern day flymachine, yet never losing a transient sight. In a world where lies and reality constantly transform, we need new frames of thought. New bricks in the wall, and new days off to rethink how we'll spend our days off. That's karma. On the righteous path, no tears left to cry. It was too dark to see whether it was staring at us, but im guessing it was!

First pressing of 2000 all on coloured vinyl:
500 x transparent blue
500 x gold
700 x solid white
300 x solid silver.



New Maninkari recordings. Pressrun is 400. 325 on black vinyl, 75 on gold / clear vinyl. As with all our limited vinyl releases, they tend to go fast, if you don't wanna miss out, please wishlist the record and we will send you a notification before the record will be oficialy available. Hide your sorrow and cover your eyes. Maninkari continues to dwell in medieval alchemy, delivering yet another organic instrumental voyage. Bodies are turned inside out and brave souls are free to roam the plagued battlefields. A ritual psychedelic cleansing that plays like a chapter of a forgotten esoteric book, obscure yet spiced with cinematic romance and blood drama. Stretched strings, metal clatter, bells and chains form an eerie trance inducing carpet that inspires and drags the listener down in a radiant sea of darkness. To understand the core essence of darkness one must experience the light first. Groaning tones form a cluster where piano's and shimmering percussion raise the pressure. Maninkari undoubtly wear the classical composition coat, but smeared with the blood of vicious hellhounds. Imagine opening the gates of a lost kingdom washed away by the waves of death, only to remain breathing and move onwards into stark reality. Every track carries a voluptuous density, sparked by a chronic claustrophobic motor, a dusted one that delivers spot-on genuine quality. In short terms the best thing to rise from the French ashes since what seems like forever. Hypnotic minimalism for folks that dig holes listening to Pelt, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Henry Flynt, The Necks and Nurse With Wound.

Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat - the Nebulous Dreams


The brand new Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat record, the Nebulous Dreams is now available at our webstore. Order it here


Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat has always been utterly fascinated with primitive savagery and heathen tactics. On this third full length endeavor, they explore and recast their horror-filled doom theme in the light of current debates on modernity and globalization. Minimalist instrumentation and hypnotic ultra dramatic vocals are wrapped in equal parts doom ridden heresy, the percussion is stripped down off hazy emotions and stretched into a pure vessel of magical strength, where a muted buzz deliberately enforces mental overload. A divine doom folk/rock cloud that shares apocalyptic interests with such visionaries as Current 93, Woven Hand, Richard Youngs, Comus and other uplifting pagan psych-folk.

With bestial roots in the anti-establishment punk movement and a healthy dose of nihilism, Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat are ready to drive the wooden stake through the heart of inner demons. A wail of a time. When not chewing wind-dried tobacco, these vicious heretics sink further into dreary pools of cosmic sin. Pounding drums that sound like bones drugged with medication, hovering over a ghostly buzz spiked with bells and subtle piano clatter. Blackened loner persistance drenched in assault sorcery and woven with occult paraphernalia. Highly influenced by spiritual unease, borderline fathoms and kanaima, an ancient practice that involves the ritual stalking, mutilation, lingering death and consumption of human victims. Serpent riders gather around the trance-inducing campfire and raise their beverages to inhumane fornication and strangled animals. Heretics believed that fire was a living being, notably an old woman, the licking flames of the fire are her movements. The indistinct shape of semi religious drama and apocalyptic misery create a nocturnal ability to see through the dark. Board up your windows and load up your shotgun. The death is in the details... More specifically the end of a hot dog that resembles a cat's anus. I may just have to eat my words.
'Carlo Steegen -
This record is limited to 750 copies. 250 on clear and 500 on black.

KISS THE ANUS OF A BLACK CAT 'The nebulous dreams' Streams entirely!


That's right, we're streaming the entire record for a week! You will be able to listen the whole record September 17 until February 24.
The first reviews are coming in, check what Julian Cope had to say on Head Heritage:
"Those of you dragged awake by such cello and viola drones and dark fölk musings will hopefully dig THE NEBULOUS DREAMS, an epic (but too brief) album by a Belgian sextet fabulously known as Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat. Released on Conspiracy Records (www.conspiracyrecords.com), and led by singer/keyboardist Stef Irritant, this ensemble has conjured up such a superb union of pagan discord and highly catchy repetitious choruses that each song enslaves listeners’ brains and pummels their subconscious minds. Imagine Marc Almond singing Van Der Graaf Generator’s ‘Killer’ over a churning base of Sweden’s Terry Rileyesque Parson Sound and you’ll be approaching the pleasure centres of this extraordinary group. Grab your copy from Conspiracy Records or interface directly via www.myspace.com/kisstheanusofablackcat."

Nadja - Truth Becomes Death 2xlp

The Nadja - Truth Becomes Death 2xlp is now available.

The recording opens with “Bug/Golem”, an epic track weighing in at a walloping 23 minutes. The piece opens slowly, building from a distant drone that matures into riffing and sparse percussion and then escalates into a murky wall of sound. At the halfway point the track changes dramatically, utilizing heavy guitar riffs alongside buried layers of vocals that combine with eerie melodies before finally trailing off with a whisper. The second composition, “Memory Leak,” erupts with a colossal blast of doom metal and advances at a menacing, sloth-like pace, making it reminiscent of a more plodding Isis or a cross between Earth and Rafael Toral. In its last quarter the track shifts into an opaque soundscape of drones and remote noises. The closer “Breakpoint”, commences with a thick fog of cacophony and then assumes a more subdued tone, employing serene vocals in a style that brings to mind The For Carnation. The final and most tranquil section of the record makes use of ghostly murmuring that brings “Truth Beomes Death” to a graceful yet ominous conclusion.’ – Alien 8 Recordings -

TRANSITIONAL 'Nothing Real Nothing Absent' CD - May 27



Transitional is the new project of musician producer Kevin Laska (Novatron) and long time Justin K Broadrick and Kevin Martin collaborator Dave Cochrane (Jesu, Grey Machine,…). The debut 'Nothing Real Nothing Absent' offers a rich variety in their approach to sound combining crushing atmospheres through a mixture of electronic ambience, mangling bass lines and distorted epic layers of textured guitar.

Transitional; a solid, textured and dynamic sonic journey through a world that is both self deprecating and enlightening, but either way leaves you wanting more.

On this album he blends his drone spectrum with slow repetitive drums (with drummers such as Tim Bertilsson / Switchblade and Magnus Lindberg / Cult of Luna), and additional guitar layers, manifesting a work of mysterious landscapes of ghostly echoes and whispered guitars, long stretches of blissy drift and dark washes of distorted hiss...

Over the past 2 years FEAR FALLS BURNING has manifested himself as a wilful and unique statement admits the ever expanding drone music genre with numerous limited and exclusive releases on both vinyl and compact disc and a highlight in collaborating with the epic ‘once we all walk through solid objects’ 5lp set. The new cd/2lp ‘frenzy of the absolute’ is the summon of fear falls burning’s visionary in teaming up with kindred spirits and talented musicians from the experimental and metal scene.

HeatdeatH... blacker than black!

The HeatdeatH records have arrived at the office... limited black vinyl (250 copies), with black print fold out sleeve, showing nothing but the dark future which lays ahead of us: grim, violent, foreign and insipid.

With HeatdeatH, Andrew Broder and Tim Glenn are flirting with the dire circumstances of the human condition in the abstract. The two tracks on this black slab of vinyl are thematically linked in sound, structure and mood. The music evokes a place unpleasant and unbearable.

HeatdeatH is a duo from Minnesota that conjures up sound with guitars, drums and machines. Musically informed by Black Metal, Free Jazz, Electronic Composition, four track recording and pretty shit, their sound constantly unfolds and overlaps, searching melodically with great sadness and beauty, while overwhelmingly abrasive and terrifying all at once. HeatdeatH is the Void, Infinite Cosmic Despair, and the end of consciousness.

Listen to some sound samples here. Official release date is March 25!

The brand new Birchville Cat Motel - Four Freckle Constellation lp will go online tomorrow! 6 New tracks by New Zealand's Birchville Cat Motel (Campbell Kneale).

Birchville Cat Motel has gained international recognition as one the bright shining lights of drone-music.
Kneale has to be one of the most exciting proponents of the New Zealand noise-avantgarde scene, engaging the full spectrum of electro-acoustic sound exploration over numerous releases on such labels as Ecstatic Peace, Drunken Fish, Freedom From, Last Visible Dog, Celebrate Psi Phenomenon,Insample and more …

To listen to Birchville Cat Motel, one must really free their mind. It is more than just an aural experience. Being immersed in his soundscapes is like being transported to another world, like a great composer, he puts each piece in its perfect place as to leave the longest impression.
To say Kneale is a drone master is kind of an understatement. Over the courses of too many releases to remember, he has constructed a sonic arsenal to match any threats that may arise.

'Four Freckle Constellation 'is no less then a mindfuck of epic proportions…

"I just want to make beautiful things." -Campbell Kneale -

All records are 180gr vinyl, 150 on Transparant and 350 on Black vinyl, Full colour fold out sleeve with artwork by Seldon Hunt and come with a coupon for a free MP3 download.

The beast is GONE !

We would like to thank all the people who wishlisted the ISIS 'Shades Of The Swarm' 12xLP box, and all the people that placed their order today. It is now SOLD OUT. Unfortunately the demand was overwhelming, and the box sold out in no time.

We are now going to start packing and shipping all the packages. This is going to be one hell of a job, so please be patient. We're on it!

Greetings,

Birchville Cat Motel, HeatdeatH, Fear Falls Burning, Transitional & NADJA releases!

Hey folks,

Time for a huuuuuuuge update...

First we'd like to wish everyone a splendid 2008!
2007 was a blast for us with the new Maninkari CDs, the collaborations of our dearest Fear Falls Burning with Birchville Cat Motel and Nadja, and Sunburned Hand of the Man with Circle of course. We had some delicious new MGR stuff, a very tasty Skull Defekts record and we were delighted to throw in those Pleasure Forever recordings we got from Sub Pop. Even earlier there was the Growing 'Live' LP and of course Jesu's 'Conqueror' and Isis' 'Celestial'.

Our plan is to continue that path to pleasing your ears this year, and we have quite some stuff in the works to do just so:

COMING UP!

HEATDEATH 'St' (very) limited LP - handnumbered/black

OUT ON MARCH 25, 2008!



HeatdeatH is a duo from Minnesota that conjures up sound with guitars, drums and machines. Musically informed by Black Metal, Free Jazz, Electronic Composition, four track recording and pretty shit, their sound constantly unfolds and overlaps, searching melodically with great sadness and beauty, while overwhelmingly abrasive and terrifying all at once. HeatdeatH is the Void, Infinite Cosmic Despair, and the end of consciousness.
With HeatdeatH, Andrew Broder and Tim Glenn are flirting with the dire circumstances of the human condition in the abstract. The two tracks on this black slab of vinyl are thematically linked in sound, structure and mood. The music evokes a place unpleasant and unbearable.

More info and sound samples here!



FEAR FALLS BURNING 'Frenzy Of The Absolute' CD/Limited 2xLP clear&white/black

OUT ON APRIL 22, 2008!



Dirk Serries is one hard working man! This highly-anticipated new studio album is the initiation of a change in method and playing for Serries aka Fear Falls Burning. On this album he blends his drone spectrum with slow repetitive drums (with drummers such as Tim Bertilsson/Switchblade, Magnus Lindberg/Cult of Luna & Dave 'Conspiracy' Vanderplas/Ontayso!), and additional guitar layers, manifesting a work of mysterious landscapes of ghostly echoes and whispered guitars, long stretches of blissy drift and dark washes of distorted hiss...
The vinyl version has one extra track ( ‘The Passage Of Wrath’) and one hidden track.

More info and sound samples here!



TRANSITIONAL 'Nothing Real Nothing Absent' CD

OUT ON MAY 27, 2008!



Transitional; a solid, textured and dynamic sonic journey through a world that is both self deprecating and enlightening, but either way leaves you wanting more.

Heavy electronic machinery, juggernaut bass lines and hypnotic guitars go from passive relaxation to an unstoppable machine within a single surge.

Kevin Laska's woven creations of bleak electronic/organic mesmerizing mayhem and bliss has found a new level. Now joined by legendary bassist Dave Cochrane (Grey Machine, The Courtesy Group), who played with the likes of Kevin Martin in God, Ice
and The Bug and Justin Broadrick in Head of David.
Born September 2006 Laska's found himself in another quality up with Cochrane, following his last collaboration with a.o. Russel Smith and Anthony Difranco (Ramleh, ex Skullflower) as Novatron.

More info soon!



ALSO COMING UP!

NADJA 'Touched' 2xLP (Alien8 Recs) - APRIL 2008!
