Hum of the Druid Eric Stonefelt returns with another meticulously crafted album of crunching, crumbling, crackling modern industrial music. The sounds of metal and machinery and vocal vomit. HOTD constructs audio works of intricacy with such careful attention paid to timbre and texture, each repeat listen revealing a heretofore unnoticed detail or ten. For fans of Daniel Menche, Small Cruel Party, The New Blockaders, Einleitungzeit, Linija Mass... REVIEW: Aquarius Records New Arrivals #296 MP3 Audio Files:

Dog Holocaust Scathing and unrelenting, a perverted mix of static, distortion and feedback that harkens back to the mid-90s heyday of loud, sleazy noise. Dog Holocaust is the collaborative effort of Nolan Throop (Kakerlak) and Dan Johansson (Sewer Election) and this CD is a reissue of their first three now-out-of-print cassettes. An absolute must for fans of Macronympha, Incapacitants, Cracksteel, Merzbow... REVIEW: Vital Weekly #633 MP3 Audio Files: |

Vertonen/Demons LAST COPIES. The Demons duo of Nate Young (Wolf Eyes, Hatred) and Steve Kenney contribute a side recorded live in Chicago in the late winter of '07. Psychedelic and grey like a Tangerine Dream underwater. Vertonen's track is aggressive and harsh synth noise, not unlike the works of Inhalant or the extreme side of M.B. MP3 Audio Files:

Pig
Exam On Contort Thine Cells, New Zealand native Loren Clements (aka Pig Exam) lets fly with the SHOCK VOLTS - heavy electric razor wire blastage kicking and screaming from your shreded-out speaker cones. Nothing dark, dreary, or mysterious here, just the unadorned sounds of getting shot in the face by a police taser from short range. Twice. Lorent has been creating the sharp painful noise for over ten years in both solo and group settings under various monikers: Downfeed, Zorac5, EggSpecies, Blisstuff, Balance & the Blossum, Mommy Won't Wake Up, Degenerate & Enable, and of course, Pig Exam. Contort Thine Cells is Pig Exam's first pro-pressed cd and his second release for SNSE, following 2003's Rape of the Bees cdr. MP3 Audio Files:

Devillock “Devillock is Justin Chris Meyers on organ, tapes and electronics. He also runs the Tone Filth label and also plays as Panther Skull. 'These Graves' is his debut on a real CD, but he has released handmade tapes and CDRs. He offers four tracks of densely layered sound, knitting all the sounds he can find together. Slowing down old reel to reel tapes on the title track provide another dark gesture in this music. Devillock doesn't play harsh noise as such, but he provides a pretty noise related drone sound. Minimal piercing sounds, mainly the lower region of the sound spectrum, making this quite a menacing affair. Noise as it's supposed to be: menacing, not by the harshness of it's sound, but by the content of what its sound has to offer. Despite it's title and bandname, I think it's a much more serious affair than the average noise attack. Great stuff.” – Frans DeWard, Vital Weekly No. 494 MP3 Audio File:

Panther
Skull Spoiled gunk tape roll with the organ heave and moan. The howl. This is bleak and this is zoned. Might as well plug and blow out your nose as hard as you can for 25 minutes straight. Panther Skull is Justin C Meyers (Devillock, Tone Filth label). Slothwave is Panther Skull’s debut CD. “Panther Skull is the invention of Justin C. Meyers, whose other activites include involvement with Tone Filth, Devillock and others. Under this new pseudonym, however, Meyers comes up with a more foreboding approach. Here he uses tapes, organ and electronics to produce a quartet of sinister sounding moanings that echo and reverberate in some dark, dripping sonic cave of his own design. Sloth Wave has distinct elements of Mirror drifting through it, as supernatural gusts of electronic fog roll in and out of the mix and traces of feedback suddenly rise up like tiny voices trying to be heard through the ensuing gloom of Meyer’s bleak blanket of electronic murk.” – The Wire, Dec. 2005 MP3 Audio File:

Iovae "...Here layers of brutal droning, ferocious fuzz and other various eardrum shredding devices are seamlessly soldered together to produce a work that delivers an almost hallucinatory impact. Sounds that were once identifiable as just noise slowly take on a form of their own. As Civilization really begins to slide, these begin to mutate into a more detailed (and spikier) soundtrack. At its best, Civilization is the sound of everything falling apart." - The Wire, December 2005 Outside of Iovae, Ron is a member of the long-running Art Damage radio program and also pulls duty in the twerked “rock” band Death Beam. Iovae has shared collaborative releases with Mammal and Burning Star Core. He has had multiple CDR releases including some on C. Spencer Yeh’s Drone Disco imprint, as well as on John Olson’s (Wolf Eyes, Dead Machines,) American Tapes label. One of the most impressive of these prior releases, Quartervois, was reissued in proper CD format by the German experimental music label Zarek in 2004. Civilization is Iovae’s second pro-pressed CD release and SNSE is honored to present it to you. MP3 Audio File:

Niellerade
Fallibilisthorstar CD version of Hålrum runs about 6 minutes longer than the LP and presents the work in its uninterupted entirety. "Beautiful career-spanning collection of outside musical thought from this Swedish sound-collective, with two sides of collaged pieces that span clattering sounds-of-the-junkyard noise improvisations, the bells of ghost ships long lost to the tide, beautiful Gregorian/choral tones, fractured jump-cuts that bring to mind Nurse With Wound circa Spiral Insana and A Salt Marie Celeste and moments of joyous free-folk blurt. Recorded between 2001-2004, this makes for some beautiful deep-listening and should suit fans of early Ghost, Nurse With Wound, Asmus Tietchens, Einsturzende Neubauten, The New Blockaders, David Jackman, Keiji Haino and The No-Neck Blues Band. ... you get the feeling this one is gonna be a major item in years to come. Highly recommended." Volcanic Tongue mailorder MP3 Audio Files:
