Very pleased to announce the first batch of releases on New Forces - tapes by Baculum, Being, Breaking The Will & Koufar. Ordering info is at the bottom of the post.
Baculum - On High In Blue Tomorrows
On High In Blue Tomorrows finds Baculum (the main project Sam Stoxen, the guy behind Phage Tapes who also records with Grain Belt and White Plague) moving into much more dynamic harsh noise territory than past releases, and the result is an amazing tape of grinding amplified metal, harsh noise and feedback.

Being - Slated For Evacuation
Being is the harsh noise project of Luke Tandy who also runs Skeleton Dust Recordings. Being consistently releases ripping walls of harsh noise and this release is no different. Inspired by the recent happenings in Gaza.

Breaking The Will - German Autumn
German Autumn is a mediation on political violence, inspired by events surrounding the Red Army Faction in 1977. Out of control feedback, amplified metal, grinding harsh noise.

Koufar - The Death Of Myself
Koufar is a project that gets better and better with each release, and The Death Of Myself finds this Lebanese nationalist utilizing tape loops and samples along with his usual harsh vocals to create a power electronics requiem. If you've heard Koufar before you know what to expect from this very personal project. Beds of static, white noise, feedback and tape loops supporting one of the most extreme vocal attacks around.

I've been very interested in this Koufar release for a while.. are there plenty left?
For those interested there is a recent Koufar interview up here:

yes, I have plenty of the Koufar release left, which is a shame since it is of such high quality.

As I stated in the interview
"Koufar is me making a bunch of awful sounds and screaming about shit that I only care about."
Thanks for doing it again Stefan!
it was a pleasure.
For folks planning on ordering the Werewolf Jerusalem boxset New Forces just put out, I am offering a discount on other New Forces tapes if you grab one, which includes the Koufar tape. Just FYI.
