Asandre - Midgard (Membrum Debile Propaganda) dark ambient by Irikarah. not so impressed
Voluspa / Robert X.Patriot 7" (the Ajna Offensive) Voluspa side project of Maniac (Mayhem). bass/guitar drones + spoken vocals, not good. R X.P multilayered delayed vocals/samples, very good!
K2 - Iron Kulture (Self Abuse) great junk noise
Alfarmania - Halogd Insikt (Autarkeia) great as usual

Voluspa / Robert X.Patriot 7" (the Ajna Offensive) Voluspa side project of Maniac (Mayhem). bass/guitar drones + spoken vocals, not good. R X.P multilayered delayed vocals/samples, very good!

I think I have spares of that, if anyone needs it.

Just listened to:

Antediluvian "Through the Cervix of Hawaah" 2LP

[linxtyx]

Fabbrico Incubo "Karkass Operator" C90 - Really, really good industrial/dark ambient from the Steel Sadist Rebirth sublabel of Trash Ritual. I will have to check more of this guy's stuff out as this is really just a foot in the door. Two really long tracks of dark, metallic, ringing mechanical sounds and junk metal sounds. I think this could have been better and more complex at that, but that won't keep me from re-listening.

Talking about TR, is that sub-label officially active? And is the TR active itself?
I am willing to get info from anyone who got into successful contact with Chris in last 3 months (I haven't for almost 6.5-7.5 months).

Bitewerks: first time I heard someone compare Revenge with VDO, two great acts however! I am waiting for cassette version to come out on Satanic Skinhead Propaganda before ordering. Their show in Berlin last year was extremely powerful, but Helmkamp felt like an important part of band and I was surprised to not see him on stage. 

Watched a live video with Negative Climax and it was great stuff... Japan is taking up the torch again it seems.

Recent plays:
v.a. Tapeworks vol VI (best tracks by Orquere, Arv & Miljö, Treriksröset, Vanhala & Amph...)
Amph - Öar under vatten
Anenzephalia - 23
Hedonic Serge - Somatoscopy
Grunt - Dance for the Genocide
Sverige LP

I am very excited to hear the Death Squad CDs - I'll return with some thoughts on them once I receive the set.

Militant Walls

I am very pleased with all the releases I have from this label.



Now Listening:
VA - Death Odors (Slaughter Productions)

Such an excellent compilation.

[whateverforever]

Some new Chondritic stuff:

Pure Ground cs -pretty sick dark electro-industrial. New Greh project apparently from the blown out little picture in the j-card.

Bad News cs -like it, pretty much like Wax Trax style with synth punk bass or guitar or whatever. Doesn't really sound like Skinny Puppy as indicated by label.

Present Moment cs -really bad, doesn't sound like Skinny Puppy at all even though billed as such, total gay Depeche Mode, Gary Newman crap although some of the programming is ok.

[Levas]

Well, I finished listening to Death Squad batch.

Death Squad - Death Textures
Death Squad - Acoustic Isolation
Death Squad - Fuck You
Trucido - Salvation

Last two were the nicest ones. Trucido was somewhat different from the usual sound in these discs and fuck you was also quite varied in sound. 2 discs with the booklet etc. nice.

Singular Cleansweep operations - Final Service Not a bad disc. Nice, but perhaps I'll have to listen to it few more times. German structured industrial stuff is quite difficult to get from the first listen

Con-Dom - Live in Japan 2003 - Nice and varied live performance. Enjoyed

[Baglady]

Con-Dom - This Sickness Faith MC
Genocide Organ - Jap album CD rerelease 2012
Haus Arafna - Children Of God CD

Was surprised how good this old Con-Dom recording sounded. Expected alot less. Regret not picking it up earlier (and a bunch of other ones). And the bonus tracks on the latest edition of the GO album easily made it worth getting (unless you're lucky enough to own the 7"s).

Currently waiting for War Against Society 3LP to arrive in the mail. I've read so much praise over that set, my expectations are skyscrapers.

Shift - 16 09 05 / 14 02 07 on the stereo, WD40 fumes in the air. Good times.

GERMAN SHEPHERDS: Music for Sick Queers (Superior Viaduct) - LP + 7" + tape
This LP belongs to one of the most played in my collection. I was happy to see that Superior Viaduct was putting it out and finally giving German Shepherds the proper attention that they deserve as one of the lost legends of american industrial music.
Besides the tracks from original Del Amo edition you get three bonus tracks on the LP and an additional 7". Most exciting is the tape included with collectors edition. It is M&S Music (their own label I guess) version of the untitled 1992 tape that Tonspur issued... here titled "Experience the freedom of total control". It has been on my wantlist since I first heard about it.... Proprinted covers & tapes, shrinkwrapped. Probably old stock they never managed to sell. LP comes with 4 page booklet featuring great artwork and stories from only surviving member and some other guy....
Can't recommend this enough! http://superiorviaduct.com/germanshepherds/

OK Kristian, your word is good enough for me ... just bagged a special edition from Superior Viaduct, their re-issue of "California Babylon" last year was a highlight here at Hartop Towers!

Tack.

[ghoulson]

I doubt you'll regret it... I've got the California Babylon LP on some older release but picked up Scheintot last year - it was also a great release...
the live DVD is something I'd like to check out but don't remember if its sold separately.
Talking about US industrial - there is a second volume of the Deviation Social anthology coming out soon on Dais.

DEATH SQUAD "sarin" CD
Arrived today, and just started to go trough the massive batch of Death Squad discs. Normally I'm quite annoyed by most of digipak covers, but this time, I think the covers work out just fine. They actually look much better than I expected! Very faithful for the original spirit. If one doesn't have a clue where to start, I'd say "Fuck You" 2xCD is probably the best value for your money, but for guy like myself, full set is absolute mandatory!

[ConcreteMascara]

is Michel 9 putting out all these re-issues or is this from a different label?
