Sonidos Y Modulaciones De La Selva
Italian sound artist Marco Shuttle debuts on Astral Industries with AI-39. Alluring and evocative, ‘Sonidos y Modulaciones de la Selva’ is a journey deep into the Amazon rainforest, seeking to capture its power and vastness, but also a rumination on the problem of its impending destruction.
In this album Shuttle sees the continuation and further ripening of an ongoing creative process, utilising both audio and visual documentations as source material. On this occasion most of the field recording…

Ikstelzok, also known for his work in Apocryphos and Psychomanteum.

Disappearing
*100 copies limited edition* In his latest musical endeavor, "Disappearing", Danish electronic musician Mathias Hammerstrøm, under the alias Amphior, embarks on an introspective journey where the tangible dissolves into the ethereal. Following his 2022 release, "Another Presence", Mathias delves into mesmeric spaces characterized by melodious pianoworks warmly infused with the nostalgic tones of tape machines, guitar pedals, and retro amplifiers. As the luminous glow of analog synths intermitten…

It includes a tea light in a home-made holder and matches showing the credits.
Geigerzähler
The precise motivations underlying the journey into nuclear wastelands are unknown. After Hans Hashimoto finished his apprenticeship he left home with a sleeping bag, a geigerzähler and two packets of methadone. Once in the exclusion zone, the geigerzähler became his compass - and the reactor his north star. The readings on the geigerzähler became stronger as the radiation sickness and Hans Hashimoto survived on one pack of methadone to enter and one to leave the zone. In his tumble towards the …
Herts
Latest recordings by Cluster Lizard – an interdisciplinary mixed media project by two Ukrainian artists Dmytro Fedorenko and Kateryna Zavoloka, based in Berlin. In previous centuries, Ukrainian warriors invented an audacious macabre ritual called Herts, a courageous death dance. Before the battle, a few ruthless Cossacks would leave their ranks to perform a mocking dance right in front of their enemy lines, laughing and shouting insulting indecencies at them. Herts, a mixture of laughter and dea…

......t
Sonically, the Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH distort the club context they work from by rendering functionality with an exceptionally refined and idiosyncratic palette. As logophiles, they contort the little descriptive context they afford audiences by imploding language into splintered and barely comprehensible character sequences. The impression is that each is the result of mutual process-driven experiments. This is all true of '......t', their new album and debut recording for Northern Electronics…
Endless Bullshit Vol. 2
*150 copies limited edition* This isn’t really meant to be music, it’s meant to be some kind of audio art work about music, but it just ends up being music. The Christopher Walken character in New Rose Hotel says, “Potato, potahto, government, corporation, it’s the same thing.” This audio is interested in the problem of what we do in a situation where the government corporation is the official sponsor of how we think and feel about every aspect of existence and the possible, is invested in all i…
Desire And Discontent
The world became another since the release of »Decadent yet Depraved« and Belief Defect's reflection of it: now darker, political, honest - end times in Cinemascope. When the duo reunited in the studio after the 2 year fracture COVID inflicted on reality, the album that had been on pause all this time seemed insufficient against whatever life had morphed into, while humanity hid from itself. Finishing an album coherent to the present moment took prolonged studio shut-ins that proved to be as cat…
The Itself Of Itself
Huge Tip! *Limited edition of 400 copies.* Since 1983, Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, Council Estate Electronics, The Sidewinder, etc.) has been producing largely solo, but sometimes collaborative, work under the Final moniker. Beginning as a more obviously power electronics-inspired project it has during the past two decades or so evolved into one which still retains that sonic intensity but has a more expansive sound. 'I Am the Dirt Under Your Fingernails' is the latest album, closely fo…

Moka 24
Founded in 1992 after Robin Storey left Zoviet France, Rapoon soon became an outstanding ethno-dark ambient project that has gained a cult following all over the world. More than 80 albums have been released over those nearly 30 years, some more beat driven, others more playful and with ambient sounds and ethnic influences.

Ancient Death Cults And Beliefs
Profound, ritual dark ambient and apocalyptic drones from Italy’s Sonologyst. The veneration of the dead plays an important role in mythology and (nature) religions. It is inspired by fear for wrath of the deceased, and by obtaining their council and favours. A large part of the religious life concentrated therefore around the death cults. This led to the erection of huge monuments (mastabas, pyramids, grave-temples, and rock-graves) in Egypt… but in ancient China, Mesopotamia, and India the dea…
