BETWEEN VOICES “PHANTOM PINNACLES” CD / DL (238TH CYCLE)
A new face in the already profound roster of Harlow MacFarlane’s (Funerary Call, Stars Without Light...) body of work, Phantom Pinnacles presents a dense Odyssey of tragic themes and long-lost moments.

Out Now! CURSE ALL KINGS “FERAL EARTH” CD / LP / DL (251ST CYCLE)
Feral Earth, the third full length from Berlin’s Curse All Kings (and second shared with Cyclic law) celebrates the expansion of the collective around B.S.s. (Common Eider King Eider) to include Fabian Van Beek (Kluizenaer, Lavvra, Hagiophobic), Bryan Bray (Gates, Sutekh Hexen collaborator) and Edie. (La Haine, Common Eider King Eider collaborator). And with these extraordinary collaborators, each soaked in their own personal worlds of dark ambience and black metal, the third chapter of Curse All Kings unfolds with suffocating fury and wrath.
The arrangements move from almost inaudible ritualistic hums and murmurs, through patient and methodical ritual repetitions, into furious abstracted atmospheres of blackened noise and black metal.

CURSE ALL KINGS “FERAL EARTH” CD / LP / DL (251ST CYCLE) Now up for Pre-Order
Feral Earth, the third full length from Berlin’s Curse All Kings (and second shared with Cyclic law) celebrates the expansion of the collective around B.S.s. (Common Eider King Eider) to include Fabian Van Beek (Kluizenaer, Lavvra, Hagiophobic), Bryan Bray (Gates, Sutekh Hexen collaborator) and Edie. (La Haine, Common Eider King Eider collaborator). And with these extraordinary collaborators, each soaked in their own personal worlds of dark ambience and black metal, the third chapter of Curse All Kings unfolds with suffocating fury and wrath.
The arrangements move from almost inaudible ritualistic hums and murmurs, through patient and methodical ritual repetitions, into furious abstracted atmospheres of blackened noise and black metal. What few finger holds the organic drones and compositions offer in the quieter sections of Feral Earth quickly burn away with searing guitar lines stretched, distorted and disfigured almost beyond recognition… Only hints, memories, and echoes of shadows remain. Pummelling doom drums and apocalyptic blast beats suggest movement and coherence, but that mask is quickly removed to show its true face of chaos and hopelessness. When the sonic themes and vocal offerings on these arrangements are more present, they are heartbroken and crushed by the weight of the world… trampled and cast aside. Yet within all of this insurmountable despair, there is a sense of beauty and hope. Like witnessing a hungry fox walk the filthy inner city streets at 4 AM.. It looks up at you, feral and defiant. Co-Released with BSBB.

DEN SORTE DØD “Depressiv magi” CD / LP (202nd Cycle)
From above corroding skies adrift with clouds of grey.
Through spiraling voids undone by stars colliding.
Past infinite aeons of spectral mists forgotten.
The crying cosmos flaps its wings.
Releasing waves of depressive magic.
Hurling storms of piercing sorrow.
Crashing against the fraying shore of human flesh.
Offermose & Angst returns as Den Sorte Død. Channeling the depressive magic of a crying cosmos. Making this the 5th album from the mournful duo.

"Werden" is Kristina Feldhammer's (aka Krist Mort) latest book of analog photography. It comprises a careful curation of self portraits created, and hand printed in the darkroom, between 2015 and 2020 in Austria. Along with this collection of darkroom works, the book also contains previously unreleased sketches, a foreword by Jonathan Berman as well as an artist bio by Isabel Biederleitner.
The Self in motion, in transformation, a state of emerging, of ceasing. A state of becoming; something, and nothing. The German word ‘werden’ describes this constant state of transformation and captures the essence of something that is about to become. By contrast, a photograph can only ever show us what has been. It is fixed, motionless. And so this collection of photographic self portraits is also a collection of perpetual Becomings forever frozen in time.
