Peplum
A driving force in what some critics dubbed Italian Occult Psychedelia, Heroin In Tahiti from Rome inaugurate 2014 with two tracks of their unmistakable Spaghetti-Sound. On Side A Peplum is an apocalyptic take on some imaginary Morricone soundtrack, filled with twangy guitars, doomsday synths, and even a mellotron: listen to it, and you will see Lee Van Cleef's ominous face wandering in a fucked up roman borgata, year 2018. Side B Alo is more in the giallo-vein and sounds like a clash bet…

Svezia Inferno e Paradiso
Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso is one of the most important scores in Piero Umiliani's lengthy career. He was an eclectic and internationally attentive artist, capable of genial expressions through jazz (I Soliti Ignoti), pop-funk (Baba Yaga, La Ragazza Fuoristrada), Western (Crisantemi Per Un Branco di carogne) and even electronic experimentation (such as his score for the unknown TV serial Il Mondo dei Romani, 1972).Director Luigi Scattini, whose partnership with Piero Umiliani was also a friendsh…
Justmeat
Taint is known to be one of the most powerful and pervert act in the power electronics scene. A kind of juiced up, Taint squared a brutal stew of screaming high-end feedback, crushing distorted scrape and corrosive furious vocals that are overlaid with sheets of white noise.’’Justmeat’’, that was released on Slaughter Production (SPT 40) in 1995, showed Taint at his best. Fucking brutal!
The record has been pressed on 140 gr black vinyl with black label and black inner sleeve and comes …

Bleaklow
Fully remastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy. One of the most destitute and absorbing albums in Leyland Kirby’s canon is finally given a much needed vinyl pressing, following on from its initial CD release 6 years ago. ‘Bleaklow’ is harrowing from the start, the opening "Something To Do With Death” reverberating dread via layers of unstable, radiant drones punctuated with pained, hi-pitched howls that cut through the mix with violent intent. ’Solemn Dedication’ adds percussion to the mix and sits …
Terrestrials
Doom behemoths Sunn O))) and Ulver meet for a deeply spiritual blood-letting on the eagerly anticipated 'Terrestrials'.

The original tracks they created that night have been over-dubbed in the interim resulting in three exte…
Kyle Bobby Dunn & the infinite sadness

I
Beautiful modern composition from LA's prolific Sean McCann and En/Root Strata's San Fran-based Maxwell August Croy. Their first collaboration, 'I' feels timlessly enigmatic, drawing on a wealth of aesthetic and compositional tropes from their respective oeuvres to synthesise something wholly new and uniquely engaging, weaving the exotic timbres of Croy's koto and McCann's keening string arrangements in a sound that defies easy categorization. Beaming forth with the flurry of strings and breezin…
