small doses: Trepaneringsritualen, Disgust/Joshua Norton Cabal tapes

[southbound]

trepaneringsritualen: martyrium cassette
The latest from this mysterious Swedish project takes it in a slightly new direction. The ritual noise/drone work heard on past releases is certainly present, but alongside a pair of pounding industrial tracks, complete with vocals. Edition of 136 copies, packaged in brad packs (hand screened at Phage Tapes HQ) with accordion fold insert.

disgust/joshua norton cabal: split cassette
Disgust (members of Koufar, Bachir Gemayel, Winters in Osaka) brings some of their most vitriolic, hate filled material yet to this split; some incredibly bitter and angry power electronics with a depressive edge. Joshua Norton Cabal (Ex Endless Blocade) brings his unique harsh noise, but adds some vocals in the tradition of European PE. His material for this release is quite varied and dynamic. Edition of 100 copies, packaged in brad packs (hand screened at Phage Tapes HQ) with two inserts.

Also new....


kinit her: gratitudes cd
Gratitudes finds Kinit Her doing what they do best - crafting unique compositions and blending influences from all over the map. Elements of doom metal, dark ambient, and early industrial music all work their way into Kinit Her's eclectic brand of ritual neofolk msuic. This release reissues their masterful Divine Names cassette and includes an unreleased full-lenth companion recording, bringing their complete vision to fruition. Mastered by James Plotkin and features artwork by Sineater. The first 50 copies sold include a 3" cdr of their Lord of Power 8" lathe release and an extra insert.

ekca liena/a death cinematic: preternatural cdr
This split release brings together two of the more underrated names working in drone. UK artists, Ekca Liena create dark, slowly unfolding, ambient landscapes tthat build in intensity over the three tracks on this disc. A Death Cinematic take a different approach, the layerered guitars swirl around each other like a hypnotic, slow-motion whirlwind. The two styles complement each other quite well. Edition of 96. Printed discs lavishly packaged in die cut sleeves with two inserts.

Is there any label in EU that will distribute the Trepaneringsritualen CS?

[southbound]

Release the Bats has copies on the way. I haven't had any other inquiries from other outlets yet.

Just added these in the RTB store. Still haven't listened to the new Trepaneringsritualen, but Kinit Her comes highly recommended. Divine Names, which is included, was probably my favorite tape of 2010.
