First Khanate album is best thing that O'Malley done! Absolute raw and heavy power!

Kinit Her ‎– Divine Names tape
Huh! I don't know why I have this weird mix up about Kinit Her and Cremation Lily. Bands have hardly anything in common. Country, style, or whatever. And I should know. But still, occasionally, like today. Thinking while listening this, why Harbinger Sound release this band?! And reply is of course: He hasn't.
So when Kinit Her brought me blurry and echoing neo-folk and experimental droning electronics and excellent use of strings and other normal instruments, it reminded me that perhaps it's time to abandon all sorts of bigger neo-folk heroes kind of jaded sounding new works, as much more apocalyptic, sonically interesting stuff is out there. Even those who normally are bored with man+guitar projects, will find much much more here.

New Pogrom tape.

A conceptual work exploring contemporary Europe through the obsessive gaze of power electronics. Singular and repetitive scores for the end times with a murky attitude. Minimal compositions. Muddy oppressive recordings with focus on low and mid level frequency range. Heavy synth abuse, atmospheric and committed vocals, feedback junk worship plus samples.

Release grows for every play. Pick it up via UNREST!

The band, or just about, in my sphere. Maybe they'll receive the recognition they deserve in the future, but that clearly isn't their goal to meet. This, for me, beats all the geriatric bar-chord neo(-hippie)-folk music out there. Just a personal opinion. Also, I think it needs to be acknowledged that these are two American boys. Fantastic stuff. Storm Of Radiance (as well as Wreathes) are legendary in my personal universe. Two albums that will never lose their spark. There's only a few other albums I've ever heard that contain that starstuff that melts my mind like those do.

Merkstave Merkstave (Pesanta Urfolk): The most stellar and crushing piece of (funeral) doom I've heard in a few years? Coming from a genre that seems to have run its course in the last half-decade, this is a hallmark slab of wax. These are redux renditions from their otherwise too-long demo tapes. From the same gents, I believe, that also put out the Hell albums on Pesanta/Eternal Warfare. That never whet my whistle anything like this. Can't recommend it enough!

Burial Hex Six Wings TAPES (Nostilevo): Managed to score these from a user here a few months back. After several listens, I wonder why this wasn't the vinyl-pressed version "Six Wings"? It trumps the vinyl output, which was also excellent. You see all facets of the Ruby-verse, aside from the recent quasi-techno works. You've got cthonic drone industrial, piano pieces, deranged vocal assaults, etc.  Two really killer tapes that hopefully won't be abandoned by Nostilevo while they press sub-par ____wave muzak.

PHBTK Verfall/Melachoir (Cathartic Process): As old and cold as I like it.

Many repeated plays of Hheva Drenched In The Mist Of Sleep, Crawl Unit Stop Listening and Hands To Nazha.

Hakaristi

Pogrom - Degančios Suros: Harsh PE excellence as per usual.

Silence of Vacuum - 4: Great stuff! More engaging than previous tapes, particularly B side.

Pieces - S/T: 3-way collab of Kakerlak/Oscillating Innards/Redneck. Solid harsh noise.

Edwige - The Inconsolable Widow Thanks All Those Who Consoled Her : Another flawless collab.

Dog Holocaust - Volume I, II, III: And again.

Being - Ghosts of Reality: After all the positive talk on Being, guess I was expecting more. This was ok but perhaps need to check some other releases.

No Joy was my favorite.

Crawl Unit Stop Listening (Ground Fault Rec.): Shit, this is awesome.

Yea, it is worth several repeated listens, the textures are truly distinct and seem to change with perceptions altered by mood, stereo setup and the amount of focus you can place on it.
I think also " A Study For Three Speakers" is a great listen and actually sounds like downtown Sacramento.

This is actually really good. Recommended.

Macronympha & Kakerlak ‎– MM4TS

Very loud right off the bat. The metal loops are uniquely repetitive and separate from other Marconympha material, more focus is placed on the looping of sound rather than the manipulation of looped sound. The harsh noise is penetrating and engaging. Worth the time.

Received the new HSV tape today from Posh Isolation and at first glance I thought the artwork was very impressing, also liked the paper quality/material of the j-card. Some really nice tape manipulations on A1 & B1 but they didn't really effect me in any way. A2 & B2 on the other hand were amazing tracks. To me A2 even had a "musical" touch to it, maybe I heard some instrument(s), not sure. Really nice nevertheless! B2 had the basic tape manipulations but with junk metal flavouring which gives completely different vibe to the track. Not sure if my tape was dubbed badly but side B had at least three or four gaps between the two tracks which was kinda strange. Anyways, very enjoyable tape in my opinion. Not my favorite from HSV, a project that I rank very high, but still good work and comes recommended. Next up is the new LR tape. Excited!!!

*Please note that in my case the HSV tape was left in the middle when I received it so I might've mixed up the sides since there isn't labels of any kind on the cassettes.

Now playing LR: What can I say... IRM with unique touch maybe? Impressive!

EDIT: Anyone here ordered the Sejr tape? Any comments, maybe some references to similar bands/projects? I regret not buying it!

Kaija Saariaho "D'om Le Vrai Sens / Laterna Magica / Leino Songs" CD
Another good piece of contemporary classical music.

(link is not the same recording as CD, but same composition!)

Burzum "Filosofem"
Eternally essential.

Sol Invictus "The Devils Steed" CD
Old London Weeps is to me one of the best SI songs! Neofolk legend in deed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfONTgZTrHs

Blitzkrieg "Wir Sind Zuruck" 2xLP
Seen this German band couple times live and I think in live situation they work much better. CD's are not bad, but there is much more energy and dirt in live shows. Vinyl version with one side bonus stuff has the usual quality of modern vinyl: Hard sibilant quality, what in some cases ruin the music, yet with stuff like this, adds the necessary dirt what is missing from contemporary metal music production standards.

This morning:
LR - The Fragility Of Happiness
Might just be my new favorite from Mr. Rahbek's impressive discography. Anyone here got "Brother"? How is it?? At least the sample sucked...
Irkallian Oracle - Grave Ekstasis
DM/BM mix-up with massive sound, amazing atmosphere and great vocals.

This afternoon (received these today):
Vemod - Venter På Stormene
Some nice moments but I'm kinda fed up with ambient black metal stuff. Grabbed this because I like the label, very nice pressing by the way (I have the CS version).
Svartidauði - Those Who Crawl...
I knew this would kill.
Svartidauði - The Temple Of Deformation
Kinda disappointing after "Those Who Crawl..." but still better than most (of the recent) BM demos. Too high expectations I guess.

At the moment:
Svartidauði - Flesh Cathedral
!!!

emboscado

Death In June - Burial (CD) Always preferred the studio side since the live performance sucks a bit...

Theologian - The Further I Get From Your Star... (CD) Much more drone oriented than NTT, enjoyed more than average NTT

Navicon Torture Technologies - The gospels of the gash (CD2) Last NTT album, sound anticipating what later would be Theologian.

Ghoulbog ‎– Fjälldesperadon Kristian Olsson (Tape) One side more ambient plus some kind of slide guitar, nice. The other side more industrial ambient, ok too.

O Paradis - Los Olvidados (LP) Great melodies as always, vocals... perfect new album.
