Obscured Focus
ISoD is the most recent arrival in the adventure in sound started by Gerritt Wittmer more than 20 years ago. In this dazing mixture of industrial and avant-garde - which anticipates and completes an imminent full length album - he drags all the previous syntax, technical and conceptual armory - as well as his heavy emotional tones - into a sonic result of shining modernism and implacable sharpness. Meant to be a tape only release.
Psycotron - 1
** 2024 Much-needed repress, Llimited edition of 150 copies, silkscreened covers and printed insert. ** A hazy, claustrophobic bridge between minimalism, drone, creative conceptualism, ambient music, and noise, we’re thrilled to offer the first ever vinyl reissue of Nord’s “Psycotron - 1” - one of the greatest and most sought-after holy grails of early Japanese Noise. Recorded by Hiroshi Oikawa only a handful of years before his complete disappearance and originally issued in 1984 as a cassette…

Darkened Obscurities
Darkened Obscurities contains the complete live set from Magasin 4 in Brussels/Belgium, the final stop of the European 14 date tour in 2024. The live set consists of four long pieces with interchangeable sounds that has been performed live since 2019 but always changed and evolved for each year. Many of the sounds may come from various tracks from studio albums, or are newly tailored for the live set, and some sounds are created by live improvisation. All sounds are manipulated and mixed live to…
The Slaying Of The Infants
The Slaying Of The Infants was the very first output from Stratvm Terror, originally released as a very limted edition demo cassette in 1994 (10-15 copies). Pulsing and beating, cold and doom power industrial electronics. Many of the tracks ended up in the first official release Germinal Chamber, released on cassette by OEC later the same year, but slightly different recordings/versions. Sleeve design mimic the design of the original demo cassette.
Campaign 2024
300 copies limited edition Second CD album (after the "Sutcliffe Jugend - Masks" / 2016) out on OEC by the UK masters! Very "old school Industrial" & a very "Sutcliffe Jugend" sounding album!Two wasps microphone feedback and Paul’s noise generator. Suitably fucked up!
Reel to Reel
*300 copies limited edition* The sounds in this double CD (already available as CD + Music Cassette in the "Atrax Morgue's - Mörder Machine" Box), are the very last recordings by Marco Corbelli and was found on a couple of reels in his studio after his death. For these recordings Marco used an old Korg MS20 synthesizer which produced a continuous background noise together with the audio signal, such noise is clearly audible in the recordings. During the editing phase this hiss was kept as an int…
Information Overload Unit
OEC is proudly going for the re-release of this Industrial timless masterpiece on its 45th anniversary! And after 45 the relevance of that album is incredible, it feels like it was recoded yestarday. The lack of equipment & tools has sharpened creativity. Information Overload Unit by "System Planning Korporation / << SPK >>" is simply a M.U.S.T.
A reference and absolute highlight in Industrial culture and muzak!
Without Blinking
Angelo Harmsworth's lands on Warm Winters Ltd. with his newest album titled 'Without Blinking', imbued, as usual, with a kind of gentle de(con)struction. Comprising of two longer compositions and a shorter piece featuring Felisha Ledesma, 'Without Blinking' is music on the verge of collapse, barely held together by its syrupy textures, intoxicated rhythmic gestures and characteristically raw emotionality. It's Harmsworth trying to map the limits of the senses, playing with our perceptions of tim…
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.
Eine Nacht
Deaf Lions is the recording project of T.S. Vickers who was based out of the San Francisco area. Although only active for a short period during the 1980s and early 90s, Vickers pioneered an enigmatic style of industrial / ambient utilizing early digital sampling techniques, Roland Juno compositions, and reel-to-reel tape loops.
Cassettes by Deaf Lions were self-released under the Stolen Art Productions imprint, though 1987’s “Copia” saw an official label release with Al Margolis & Sound of Pig. …
NY VIII
The motion and speed of a metropolis is captured on this collage-style disc. MJE sends field recordings and incidental music to Cyess Afxzs who provides further processing. 6-panel CD digipak is indexed as separate tracks and includes an additional epilogue.
Nameless Science
*2024 stock. 90 copies limited edition, very last ones in stock* Thought Broadcast return with a highly limited new long player via the freshly minted Amok Age. It's been over a decade since we first heard from Ravi Binning's project, arriving at around the same time as Blackest Ever Black and what felt like a renewed interest in blasted post-industrial electronics. Whether that interest still prevails i'm not sure, but Nameless Science nonetheless finds Binning worshipping at the same cursed al…
Collage / Décollage
80 copies limited edition Recorded, cut, reassembled and mixed in 2023/2024 by Guilhem All. 3 tampered electrophones + sound effects, rhythms and layers recorded on vinyl. Software collages.
Karaokult
*80 copies limited edition* The Karaokult sect organises karaoke ceremonies where disciples speak into microphones in a new language, that of dreams, the cosmos and confusion.
Finomehanika
Tip! An essential repress of the monumental 2020 album. Finomehanika was Rijeka-based Robert Merlak's first solo release in two decades since "Albumski" on pioneering avant-garde techno label Phthalo which put him on the map next to fellow artists as diverse as Dntel, Daedelus and James 'V/Vm' Kirby.
Merging piano and field recordings, Merlak moves between musique concrete, ambient, and neo classical, crafting great layers of depth and ambience combining the frayed melancholia of Vladislav Delay…
I Am The Dirt Under Your Fingernails
*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 following 'I…
1991, Summer, Huntington Garage Fire
The A-side and title track of this cassette is a live document of one the best live concerts I've seen/heard in the past few years. It was recorded during a house party cookout in Leila Bordreuil’s backyard that I was lucky enough to attend. She played along to a video recording her partner’s family had made for their insurance after a garage fire back in 1991. The audio of the video was played through the PA and Leila slowly builds her electronics and cello into a psychotic inferno of wild nois…
Symphony For A Genocide
*202 copies limited edition* First issued on LP in 1981 by Sterile Records, London, England. The moral of this work: The past punishment is the inevitable blindness of the present. MB: electronics. Symphony For A Genocide came out in 1981, on this album, MB construct brutal, hallucinatory blasts of electronic noise and grinding rhythms of hand-cut tape noise and overblown synthetic distortion.
These, bleak chilling drones are reminiscent of Conrad Schnitzler at his most neurotic, Nurse With Wou…
Multiple Density

In a roaring daytime session, the pair performed two sets, approximately 20 minutes each, of finely detailed fast paced electronics. Recorded November 2023 at Technology Hour Extra Volume 3 at Freaky Show, Shizuoka, Japan. Digipak CD presented by Helicopter and Troniks. Art and design by John Wiese.
