lots of reissues featuring 'italian stuff' these days, but nobody seems to talk about this? Great doomy low-fi work, deathindustrial, Bianhi/Toniutti, etc spring to mind. nice.

fuck never heard of this... funny name

Continuing my surge of doom listening:

Imindain - And The Living Shall Bury The Dead
Rough around the edges but good quality funeral death-doom, saw them a few years back and they were excellent. Dunno if they're still active or not.

Ahab - The Divinity Of Oceans
Came across this by chance and investigated further, really enjoyable. Good melodic funeral doom riffs with plenty of beef, good mix of vocal styles and a thematic obsession with Moby Dick.

Wormphlegm - In An Excruciating Way...
Still utter devastation, remember hearing this for the first time when it came out, early-2000s (I think?) and was awe-struck at the heaviosity of it. A truly great record. Total dungeon horror, sounds mouldy and vile.

Maeror Tri ‎– Meditamentum 2xcd

Amazing document of old Maeror Tri days. A must have for all fans of Troum/Maeror Tri and other quality drones.

I picked this up recently too and - quite apart from the great music - I'm hugely impressed by the quality of the packaging, Zoharum have done a beautiful job with it. It's even nicer than the recent reissue they did of "Emotional Engramm", which itself was beautifully presented (though I'm still getting used to the new mastering job after years of the original). While it's successfully defended its place in my top ten albums for about thirteen years now, I was always a bit disappointed in the super-minimalist art on the original pressing so it's great to see it in a package that does it justice.

Working my way through the Psychic Rally 10-disc set.  A lot of excellent cut-up but I'm left cold by some of it so far.  Need to spend more time with it.

The New Blockaders "Simphonie in X Major".  Causes massive sweating!  Whew!

Borbetomagus and friends "Borbeto Jam".  Good but not what I would recommend to new Borbetomagus listeners.

just noticed this on the Tesco Germany site (not on the USA site yet): http://store.tesco-germany.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=VNYAARCHAIC003

Anyone listen yet? Apparently it's almost identical to the extremely limited "Transmits From St. Petersbourgh" CDR from 2007. Sample sounds great. Picked up that new Grey Wolves live LP from the usa site a few days ago but may have to place another order once this becomes available.

UNCODIFIED "" tape (Santos) - Not bad but far from the collaboration with Wertham, qualitatively speaking.
CALIGULA031 "Odessa" (Santos) - Great release, C031 is still successful providing this particular mood.

[SiClark]

[concrete mascara] + Umpio - Concrete vs Umpio vs Mascara CD (Obscurex, Terror)

Very strong collaboration between these two artists. Their two styles work really well together, highly recommended album. Artwork looks great, CD in nice digi pack.

Also have been listening to [concrete mascara] - Dead In Philadelphia 12​.​2​.​11 which is really good live set. You can get it here for anyone interested -

I'm sure this will be mentioned here frequently, but:
Mania/HH- Wreckage - Sick release, didn't get a copy of the tape but from what I can see this edition is much nicer, especially in the artwork dept. Latest Mania stuff has been great, and HH is a growing interest of mine since I got 'taste of iron' a couple years ago.

&
Smell & Quim- The Jissom Killers - Only s&q record I own, which is unfortunate. Most tasteful presentation of Ed Gein crimes I've seen as well.
Burried Machine- Aoral Portion - Nice change of scenery in the Lust Vessel dept.
Barad Dur- Dunkelheit- German BM with the clumsy drumming I usually can't deal with but I like it here.

Burried Machine- Aoral Portion - Nice change of scenery in the Lust Vessel dept.

A label and roster I was slow to catch on to, but glad I ever did! Hope to hear this some day. Any deeper perspectives you'd care to give? Sounds? Aesthetics?

Being Ghosts Of Reality (FTAM): That expected Being putsch on the A-Side. B-Side gets a little more psychedelic/industrial...a real nice change of scenery!

Clew Of Theseus Meridian (Cathartic Process): Been meaning to pick this up for years. Strong droning noise. Not as full-blown harsh as previous material and not as lulled-out droning as later works. Reminds me of Jason Crumer at times.

K2 The Rust (Kinky Music Institute): Checked this out after reading New Forces (meh...but still great to see paper zines). His discography is too dense for me to crack, but if this ain't even a highlight I must dig in! A real mammoth of harsh junk metal torture. Hope to snag Metal Dysplasia soon as well.

Fullmoon United Aryan Evil (Ancient Order): Excellent re-release to see. My favorite drum programming ever. There's over-the-top like Mysticum or Helheim Society. There's hard-to-realize-its-artificial like later Aosoth albums. Then there's plates-cans-and-tin drums like this! I mean that as a good thing. Excellent hopeless and mid-paced atmosphere. Fun fun fun.

Drudkh: All the old LPs...fuck me this never gets old. Helping to roll in autumn in the country.

Ildjarn/Hate Forest Those Once Mighty Fallen (Osmose): Just about as disappointing as I expected it to be. Is there a pressing mistake on the Ildjarn LP? This sounds like generic Scandinavian BM. Pass! Hate Forest is great, cos it couldn't be anything but. Yet, these tracks sit on the lower wrung of the ladder. More money grabs...

Clew Of Theseus Meridian (Cathartic Process): Been meaning to pick this up for years. Strong droning noise. Not as full-blown harsh as previous material and not as lulled-out droning as later works. Reminds me of Jason Crumer at times.

There's a nice Organum/Jackman vibe to this album.

K2 The Rust (Kinky Music Institute): Checked this out after reading New Forces (meh...but still great to see paper zines). His discography is too dense for me to crack, but if this ain't even a highlight I must dig in! A real mammoth of harsh junk metal torture. Hope to snag Metal Dysplasia soon as well.

The best K2 I've heard.  I'm not much of a fan, so I think it is all downhill from here.  Shouldn't take away from its greatness, though.

Simply put it sounds primarily cut up tapes/loops at a pretty fast pace. Need to listen a few more times to work out the bugs but It is definitely not as "dense" as other LV stuff I've got, at least in the [assumed] variety of instruments being used. Still very dark/visceral/whatever stuff that fits nicely on the roster.

Haus Arafna - New York Rhapsody CD

STROM.ec - Dogs of Total Order LP - total classic Finnish PE. one of my all time favorites. I'm a big fan of later STROM.ec works, but grittier production and smooth mix of harsh and rhythmic tracks makes for a perfect album. Surprised to see the LP is still reasonably priced on discogs. No PE fan should be without!

[FreakAnimalFinland]

There has been some vague plans of collection all the Strom.ec old rare comp. tracks into one CD. I think it would be really worth it. I think some of the most intense works of Strom.ec was on split LP with Irikarah. I toyed with idea of doing CD version, but not sure how to reach mr. Irikarah these days?
