Light From Another Sun

Negative Dream Body Tranference
Häxa Komät returns to Bent Window with a long-form track for deep dreaming amidst the spirits. Displaying excellent esoteric guidance, "Negative Dream Body Transference" brings to life the power of the hidden mind.
Sacrificator / Scarificator
Sainerine is known in Vancouver for live performances involving self-mortification with an industrial staple gun. These wounds of purity and obedience are drained on their debut tape, “Sacrificator / Scarificator”. Raised in institutions of Catholicism and classical music, they perform what they know: blood and opera. Synth arrangements weep over rich vocals and pained harmonies, alongside elements of noise that rip into the belly of this confessional. The artist negotiates a constricted past, s…
Brutícia
A collaborative harsh noise c40 chock full of nauseating frequencies and tones. Both artists hail from Spain, bringing their distinctive style to this release!
Ashes
Coming from Genoa, Italy, Regen Graves (guitarist/drummer of death-doom band Abysmal Grief) brings his solo dark ambient project to Bent Window. "Ashes" presents expansive soundscapes for the dreary years. Cities that lay wasted in ashes from above have a soundtrack with this latest effort.
Yellow Springs
Beherit (electro), Diabolos Rising, and 90’s industrial fans will be excited to discover the debut release from Yellow Springs (Vancouver Island, BC). Formed by members of the black metal band Tarvos, this duo explores the boundaries of internal meditative chaos. Electronics envelop over demonic vocals calling out from the bottom of the pit.
Imploding Harmony
Absolute Key (Finland) is a powerful, flexible entity that swirls in the realms of dark art. In this go around the artist presents us with the release "Imploding Harmony". It's album title does not betray what lies within. Cacophony echoes out toward an empty sky. Absolute Key rains down harsh frequencies, evoking the eldritch prowess of the eternal void. Chaos reigns in this extensive study of the beyond.
Tab In/Tab Out + Apocalypstick
Wall noise fanatics take note on this split between Tab In/Tab Out (Seattle) & Apocalypstick (Pittsburgh). American harsh noise wall done only the way two artists of this calibre can do it! For those not in the know Tab In/Tab Out is a project from Imploding Sounds head honcho Tim Burkland, and Apocalypstick is a project of Thomas Puopolo who runs Summer Interlude. Get ready to rumble, quite literally.
Hormonic B.C.
Morgan Hall (Greece) brings a hedonistic take to dark ambient on "Hormonic B.C.". Streets lay barren and grey, buildings crumble as time passes. The atmosphere is thickened by the heat, as those left amidst the ruins revel in listless debauchery. A formidable collection of bitter truths published by way of sonic excess.
One Void Ceremonial Program I
Bent Window is proud to present this ritual ambient release from the One Void Collective (Atlanta, GA). Pay attention to the stripped down rhythyms, melting into their surroundings. The trance-like work leading down the paths of the metaphysical. In reference to the recording Häxa Komät expresses the following: "Thematically based on the religious and spiritual practices of animatism and unitary religious experiences via ritual, ceremony, self expression and art. Presented through the lens of th…
Ash In The Room Below (demo)
*25 copies limited edition* Bleak ambient for insomniacs. N.G. - synthesizers.
Smelt
Bent Window presents Tim Olive's new release "Smelt", a buzzing conveyance of sound manipulation made from the leftovers of our mechanical world. Hum, crash and crackle combine for a unique journey into electronic disaster. Magnetic pickups, analog electronics, radio signals and consumer detritus (springs, styrofoam, metal sheets, motors, magnetic tape, wood, dental floss) to generate sound-textures which evolve, shift and mutate. Born in Canada, currently residing in Kobe, his discography inclu…
