Towards the end of the outgoing year we are happy to present two new releases in the ZHELEZOBETON Distribution Division series!
ZHBD-21: along with kultFRONT we're releasing a tape with an encoded title KRCFHL – this is an almost forgotten recording made by the members of Kryptogen Rundfunk, Cisfinitum and Hladna projects back in 2005. It has been kept in the archives for 16 years, now taken out, properly mastered and supplemented with four remixes from Notum, bezvlastje, Svetlo111 and Symphocat. C-85 audio cassettes and digital version are already available, while the double CD edition is planned for late January.
ZHBD-22: the second release is published together with the Yekaterinburg-based label Evil Dead Productions and this is the new album of Zinc Room "Habal Garmin", dedicated to the work of the Austrian writer Gustav Meyrink. The roar of a heavily distorted bass guitar and metal percussion, crazy cello and gloomy synth passages – the fans of thick noisy industrial won't be disappointed! The CD edition is limited to 100 copies and comes in a foldout cardboard cover with an insert, digital version is waiting for you on bandcamp.
This time we decided not to make a distro update, but to postpone it until the end of January. However we should remind that our wonderful WINTER SALE in still in action, involving about two thousand CDs, cassettes and records from the distro catalogue and the second hand list. Order 10 or more items marked with the sign [-50%] and you get them for half-price! It's possible to make reservations for a reasonable period.
The series of ZHELEZOBETON mixes will continue in January, and meanwhile we can offer a small bonus – the recording of a cassette tape set played live by DJ Kryptogen during the Tapehood #2 program streaming, featuring tape releases of ZHELEZOBETON and friends:

We havn't been idle for the past two months! Just look at our awesome new releases! The new album of the Finnish magician Umpio "Insektio" sounds like a pack of microphones shoved into an anthill, and it looks just as good. An electroacoustic symphony dedicated to the life of insects through the prism of a noise musician's perception. The release is available on CDs (300 copies) and audio-cassettes with full-body UV-printing (100 copies).
The second release is a commemorative compilation dedicated to the Solar Systo Togathering 2020 festival and particularly to the work of the stage called "Gudelnaya Polyana" (Russian for "Droning Glade"). Three CDs in 6-panel digisleeve, 28 tracks, 3 hours of live recordings straight from the woods of the Karelian Isthmus.
