CDs & CD-Rs
All My Faith Lost... -- "Chamber Music" -- CD -- €12
2013 Infinite Fog Productions, IF-31, (ltd. 500)
We are happy present to you new CD of this wonderful Italian band. And now a best time for it, because their quiet melancholic music will be perfect introduction for imminent autumn season. "Chamber Music" was recorded 10(!) years ago, and it was the work that brought the group to a contract with Cold Meat Industry, but not released till this time due to copyright problems. All lyrics are taken fro James Joyce's collection of poems called 'chamber music'.To release this work was only necessary the permission of the actual copyright owner, Joyce's nephiew Stephen. This permission was denied in the past even to bigger artists as Kate Bush. It was clear then, that there was no other possibility than to write new lyrics and record all vocal parts again. Here under the base of "Chamber Music" was borns "as you're vanishing in silence" - CMI/2005, which got many many positive feedbacks. Now 10 years later, 70 years after Joyce's death, we have all rights to release this album. Digipak CD - limited to 500 copies. [press-release]
Ataraxia -- "Spasms (Sous La Coupole Spleenetique Du Ciel)" -- CD -- €12
2014 Infinite Fog Productions, IF-36
Regular edition of the all new album, in Jewel box with 12 page booklet! Ataraxia in their own words on their new album: “Is this the bitter-sweet side of ourselves? We portray great misery, of course, and a typically human desperate need of survival but, at the same time, joke and irony are always present to exorcise the fear of decay and death. Here we are just musicians playing airs that make you dance and cry at the same time, and while doing this we say to ourselves: “Take your bloody knife and start exploring your killing nature, be not politically correct, sing and play as a fucking gorgon if you wish and have fun". “Paris Spleen” and the following “Spasms” are works in progress, both musically and as live performances, and our main actor Paul Patchy is just a disseminator of chaos.”

Diagnose: Lebensgefahr -- "Transformalin" -- CD -- €22
2005/2012 Infinite Fog Productions, IF-25
Words are not enough to describe the visceral feelings that Transformalin delivers, but this sound-therapy will cure your soul or make you total sick! This project’s sole member is Nattramn, whose ‘Death—Pierce Me’ album under the project name Silencer stand as defining work in the suicidal black metal movement. Diagnose: Lebensgefahr is significantly different from either, though, and should not be considered a black metal album as such. For the first time this album blew up the world in 2007 and now it's still one of the most interesting works on current scene. Transformalin is a bleak voyage through related genres, particularly dark ambient, power electronics, martial and noise-influenced industrial, with black metal serving as the filter that taints and completes them. Consequently, ‘Transformalin’ is a jarring experience that can be harshly rhythmic at one moment and the next dive into unmetered, dragging ambience, while still others draw on martial cadences and horn reveries that echo in the background. Though mostly instrumental, he does provide ‘narration’ from time to time with primarily clean vocals that range from manically impassioned to psalm-tone catatonia. Last years it became extremely rare album and now, 5 years later, this black pearl is available again! This time with the expanded booklet on 16 pages which was specially developedover by the well-known artist Costin Chioreanu (drawing for Grave worked; Darkthrone; Demonical; Aura Noir; My Dying Bride; Arcturus, Trencadis; Arktau Eos and many other). Masterfully executed, under the sensitive management of Nattramn'a, drawings, are your silent conductors on desert corridors of Diagnose: Lebensgefahr. Strictly limited A5 BOOK with the large-format printing of the booklet on 16 pages and a postcard from special paper - 200 copies O:N:L:Y! [press-release]

Exploplasmatic Coagulation -- "Harmonium" -- CD-R -- €7
2015 Still*Sleep, CDR25
40 minutes of hypnotic and meditative (drone), split- second digital fluctuations spread for a few octaves – this is a new album Exploplasmatic Coagulation “Harmonium”. The album, inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s novel The Sirens of Titan will cast you into deep detachment and, like one of the novel’s characters, will bring you to Mercury to take care of harmoniums - creatures who change their psychophysical properties, influenced by every sound vibration. The album is good both for Tantric practice and for deep relaxation. [Oleg Hurvatov]
Five Elements Music -- "Oborot" -- CD-R -- €7
2015 Still*Sleep, SS21
A project by Sergey Suhovik (Exit In Grey, Sister Loolomie, etc.), this time detouring from processed field recordings towards the arsenal of concrete objects. The instruments were record player, radio, metal, wood and stones. All came out into 4 long pieces with hypnotic textures painted by seemingly familiar sounds, but often twisted in spiral coils, sometimes going into the realm of ultra low frequencies, sometimes stretching to dark resonating spaces.
GaldrareyniR -- "SolarLjod" -- CD-R -- €5
2014 self-released, (ltd. 48)
Second album of this Russian chtonic ritual project. From the very first minutes the listener gets sucked into a tight cavern of ventral saound, in a foggy veil of which one can feel rhythms, splutter of mouth harp, flute and guitar howls and mutter of endless incantations. Sometimes the texture of sound becomes more clear and spirits manifest themselves from emptiness, but mostly the matter flows like dense jelly and all images come out of focus. Recommended to the lovers of dark ritual psychedelia.

Kalte Traurigkeit -- "Equilibrium" -- CD -- €13
2009 Shinto Records
Kalte Traurigkeit ('Cold Sadness') is a Canadian project from Eric Labrie and Mireille Tessier. Neoclassical / darkwave / dark ambient, layered with operatic female and brooding male vocals. Originally started by Eric alone, "Equilibrium" took 2 years to complete, during which time he welcomed in mezzo-soprano singer Mireille Tessier. Mireille brought new ideas to the music from her influences, chant experience and her talent, which transformed the project's approach to music to a more tangible one. Her wide range enabled the creation of more complex choirs and vocal arrangements. For fans of Autumn Tears. [Cold Spring]

Lunar Abyss -- "Koncerts Mixer" -- CD-R -- €7
2014 self-released, (ltd. 4)

The oroginal label info about "Concerts Mixture 10-11" says: "Side A: Consistent mix of live recordings from 2010-2011 captured with a microphone of Zoom H4 recorder. Fluent waves of chtonic sound and subterraneat industrial dark ambient turn into hypnotic loops and concrete acoustic pieces. Side B: Live mic with the materials provided by the projects Ogni Videniy and ZHA, recorded from a mixer to one track. Multi-dimensional choir of ringing percussion and drones, good for some trips and ritual tea parties."
Lunar Abyss + Ogni Videniy -- "Mohalociya Eroja" -- CD-R -- €7
2015 Biosonar^Labyrint 028, (ltd. 33)
Continuation of the series of collaboration live recordings. This disk presents a fragment of a pu-erh session in Zanza-room on the night of December 13th, 2014 with minimal editing, in one track. The sonic flow is formed mainly of analogue modulations with hybrid processing and flavoured with strings, winds and voice. On a winter night with a teapot of pu-erh we remembered everything about mosses and lichens, night swamp fogs and former trips, and made the wishes for the future, twisting potentiometers to the beat of thoughts. String drones and bell chimes turn into atomized analogue crackles and rustles, sometimes pink noise and timbral waves blend in multi-layered cocoon of moss. Recommended to listen on wideband audio systems as well as in earphones, and if there's a chance to use both at the same time - surely use both simultaneously. The disc is packed in a cardboard sleeve with a hand-made stamp, each copy is numbered. [label info]
Majdanek Waltz -- "Nachtlied" -- CD -- €12

Recorded "Nachtleid" attended by 13 musicians - piano, guitar, violin, viola, cello, clarinet, flute, trumpet, oboe. And well known band Reutoff play as guests on album. Those who have been following the work of Majdanek Waltz, usually notice evolution of their ark, complexity of the structure of the compositions, strength and mature of reflection, the depth of sound, all this quality increases from album to album and not an exaggeration to say that with "Nachtleid" group revealed deeper their potential. "Nachtleid" in a good way very cinematic album that draws more than hour-long picture, which we hope will please fans of the band, as well as us. Paul Bliumkin characteristic vocal accompaniment neoclassicism , neofolk, dark ambient, martial... to give a description of the project by means of music tags has long been a pointless, but corporate identity MW still remains easily recognizable.

Trencadis -- "Odelagt" -- CD -- €15
2012 HAL, HAL 006, (ltd. 300)
First (un)known as Sinneskross in 1994 and later reborn as Trencadis, Nattramn formed this industrial ambient project in 1995 and recorded one demo in Ljungby roughly a year after it's birth. The demo was dubbed onto tape and given only to a handful of individuals in the Black Metal underground at the time. "Ödelagt" consists of one song recorded in Mono under rough circumstances. Although Trencadis have been slumbering for 16 years it remains relevant as the beginning of Nattramn's artistic and spiritual journey. The music could be described as watching over a cold desolate landscape while musically grounded in the sounds and atmospheres of artists such as early Mortiis and the ambient works of Burzum. The cd comes as a digipack and is limited to 300 handnumbered copies and will never again be re-issued on compact disc. Mastered by T.Lilja, layout and artwork by Nattramn and Costin Chioreanu. [Infinite Fog]

All head-experiments contained herein work on quite simple and primitive levels in the good, old-fashioned industrial way, with less focus on layering and vocals. Suggestive hell-drones and slow grinding dungeon electronics with a concrete edge - toward the inevitable, lifeless end. CD edition consist 2 bonus tracks: "Death Is Your Friend" & "Seeing What I Suffer". [label info]

Turman, Robert -- "Way Down" -- CD -- €10
2014 Infinite Fog Productions, IF-42, (ltd. 400)
Originally released as a small run cassette in 1987, only to fall into tape label obscurity, Robert Turmans industrial genre-bending masterpiece album Way Down finally has been excavated for a proper vinyl reissue after twenty-three years in the shadows. This album solidifies Turman as a cut above the rest with respect to his talent and his natural ear for experimental composition. Turman first came onto the industrial scene in the late 70s as the ominous other half of legendary noise outfit NON, alongside Boyd Rice, together releasing the now classic first NON single, Mode of Infection/Knife Ladder 7” in 1977. After parting ways, Turman went on an excursion of self-released cassettes to which he fused every possible influence at his disposal, culling together past habits of experimental know-how and going forward into uncharted terrain. After his previous experimental efforts included on his Flux release in 1981, and even later in the prolific Chapter Eleven boxset, Turman turned the tables with the creation of Way Down, using synthesizer arrangements and drum machines alongside guitar solos, piano chords, tape loops and primitive sampling to create a whole new concoction of dance-like minimal synth blended together with the industrial darkwave noise he was mostly known for. After almost vanishing from the music scene, Turman resurfaced in 2005, teaming up with seminal noise musician Aaron Dilloway to not only reissue previous recordings, but to record and perform once again with new releases out on Hanson and Medusa. This reissue of Way Down serves as the blueprint of what Turman sought to render as a very accessible minimal synth/industrial album, yet keeping it just obtuse enough to make it one of the most brilliant and engaging albums to be ushered into the canon of 80s experimental culture. Regular Jewelcase edition. [press-release]

Vehjora -- "Mind's Constructions" -- CD-R -- €7
2015 Eternal Return Records, ERR-05
Human mind is argressive and unpredictable, sometimes downright scary. ''Mind's Constructions'' is actively trying to show this in its constantly evolving and dynamic noise textures. High-frequency whirs move through the space of sound like neural impulses between synapses, and every new track is painting a picture of some other mental state. This music is harsh, but completely honest about the phenomenon it describes. [label info]

Velvet Condom -- "Stadtgeil" -- CD -- €13
2011/2012 Cymbeline, CYM 04
Velvet Condom the amazing French-Berliner duo creates a unique aesthetic of cold synth wave with elements of rough, but melodic post punk and shoegaze; with a very contemporary feeling the band ends up with one sound for themselves. 'Stadtgeil' their second full length album is an urban romance that mixes danceable electro-wave elements to darker experimental ones ingeniously. Cyber Muzik for urban Metals! This album starts very powerful with its noise-pop anthem 'Funeral For Love'reminding some new-gazers as A Place To Burry Strangers with an irresistible cocktail of machines echo drowned guitars and dreamy vocals. Then comes the sick and dark groovy 'Menace', the listener immediately get hit by its martial drum machines mixed with some industrial sound samples а la Depeche Mode (Construction Time era) joined by a droning fat Bass line. This song has nothing to compare with; let's call it a grave rave masterpiece, gloomy and funky and the same time. After this menacing sophisticated trip the album shows us a more danceable and fresher side with the electro-wave hit 'Rouge City'catching one with an awesome in-your-face French touched bass sequence followed by Nico's suave and melancholic vocals sounding like cybernetic sadness. Following is the surprisingly Italo-Disco influenced song 'Ice Disco', cold and danceable: that's apparently the bands recipe, and it works perfectly! The ьber-sexy 'Faint-Hearted'is a brilliant psychedelic-garage- glam track and takes you again by surprise with its heavy Glitteresque guitar riff. This leads us almost to end of these 9 breathtaking songs with 2 remarkable down-tempo pieces: 'A New Fall'a beautiful touching dreamy wave ballad and the very David Lynch-Nick Cave like 'Scars Shine'that majestically closes the album and leaves us totally numbed by the diversity of its emotions. It is astonishing how much work was put into that recording, you need several listens to get every subtle precious detail. [Infra Rot]

Glazova, Jelena & Grigorij Avrorin / Bisamratta -- split -- MC -- €5
2015 Spina!Rec, sr011, (ltd. 25)
Spina presents a split-record again! Jelena Glazova, guest from Riga, played duet with Grigorij Avrorin, musician from St. Petersburg, at Fulldozer festival where the release of Sergey Kostyrko and Rutger Zuydervelt was recorded. Jelena worked to create a background and direction for almost bass solos of Grigorij. It turned out distantly and sometimes frighteningly bleak! In contrast, there is a bright side with music of project Bisamratta. It was formed by Vladimir Luchansky, musician from Novosibirsk which has recently been living in St. Petersburg. This is a guitar ambient at its best: music for meditation, relaxation and sleep. [label info]

As a result, Andrea got received new inspiration and she decided to work again on a full album with dark tracks! Aghast Manor is inviting you to haunting darkness and decadent visions, providing perfect soundtracks for dark disturbing atmospheres. With a blend of sinister ambient and classical tunes the first album 'Gaslights' is giving you images of industrial lunacies, victorian visions of opium smokes and dark poetry, femme fatales, Jack the Ripper and Lovecraftian occult experiences... Travis Ryan from Cattle Decapitation has submitted a song called 'Suck My Drain', vividly describing the atmospheres within slaughterhouses and other death camps. Aghast Manor's 'Gaslights' must be enjoyed at night, either in darkness or with candle light. [press-release]

Ataraxia -- "Suenos" -- CD -- €12
2001/2012 Infinite Fog Productions, IF-14
"Sueсos" ('Dreams' in Spanish) was originally released in 2001 by Cold Meat Industry's imprint Cruel Moon International. This remastered edition contains the bonus track 'Melisanda', which appeared on the rare split 10” with Engelsstaub "In Amoris Mortisque" (1995). "Sueсos" is a collection of songs with different styles, themes, with different historical backgrounds and recorded with the use of many acoustic instruments. Divided into three parts, the first (‘Ego Promitto Domino’) features lyrics inspired by journeys and memories of middle Eastern lands. The sounds are between neoclassical, orchestral and dreamy Mediterranean ambience. The second part (‘L’ame d’eau’) is entirely based on Medieval ballads for acoustic instruments and 2 vocalists. The Third part (‘Sandy Dunes’) is more intimate and meditative, once again the theme is the one of water linked to the female soul: The voyage through the sea, regret, the need of the sea, just for Francesca’s heavenly vocals.

Atomine Elektrine -- "Archimetrical Universe" -- CD -- €12
1999/2009 Eternal Pride Productions, EPP 015, (ltd. 1000)
Eternal Pride Prod. presents re-mixed version of "Archimetrical Universe" + bonus tracks from extra limited CDr boxed version of the album "Nebulous". New edition like DIGI-CD with new design. Space is an illusion. Peter Andersson (Raison D'?tre, Stratvm Terror, Svasti-ayanam, Necrophorus) is one of the handful of finest sound manipulators in the world. Period. Archimetrical Universe showcases Peter’s dissection of the sky, a Caesarean section that births massive, geometrically perfect sonic diversions, all spheres and angles, burnished metal dreams and pristine sonic caresses that reconfigure sound into smooth surfaces. To counterbalance the exactness of the sonic development, light rhythms emerge, huge slabs of disrupting tones puncture, the scattered remnants of all of Peter’s projects utilized in the creation of the music here. Everything seems to be in perpetual motion, evolving, revolving, reinvented at the mercy of Peter’s deft hands and devious whim. The clarity of production and meticulous restructuring of the known (space, stars, planets) with the unknown (space...stars...planets...) only heightens the journey upon which he guides us, an alluring venture into the cavernous realm of space...but not a space most of us would imagine. Whether he is sonically scrubbing the architecture, or just mesmerizing us with another sound sculpture at the edge of forever, Archimetrical Universe is, quite possibly, Peter’s finest release yet, which says a lot because his sonic portfolio runneth over with intoxicating, mind-altering sound manipulations that inspire one’s imagination with conflicting emotional responses (sorrow, desolation, awe, wonder) at all times. Space is an illusion... but Peter has brought it to life. Essential! [press-release]
Atrium Carceri & Eldar -- "Sacrosanct" -- CD -- €12
2012 Infinite Fog Productions, IF-26
Atrium Carceri & Eldar, two of the genres most prolific artists, team up for this fantastic dark ambient release. The deep rumblings and future visions of Atrium Carceri combined with the whispers of historical enlightenment that is Eldar creates a vacuum in time where the future and past coexist. Where nothing and everything is sacred, where the webs of powerful bloodlines are woven and where humanity crumbles. [Cryo Chamber]

GaldrareyniR -- "Gal anda vidR" -- CD-R -- €5
2012 self-released, (ltd. 96)
Young Russian project "inspired by old nordic mythology, traditional poetry and esoteric practices of ancient north... " Dark ritual ambient, 6 tracks and about 50 minutes filled with the sounds of shaman's drum, pipes, mouth harp, mysterious incantations, incomprehensible and indefinite noises. Technically the quality of recording isn't that high, but the atmosphere doesn't become weaker, on the contrary, with this kind of monolithic sound material this only adds some true liveness and rawness, this even resembles some kind of chtonic interpretation of the music from Finnish label Aural Hypnox. The last track with its crazy exorcist samples only adds a couple od drops of insanity to the overall gloomy picture.

Neutral -- "Luisenkirche, Konigsberg" -- CD + DVD -- €33
2006/2013 Infinite Fog Productions, IF-22, (ltd. 99)
A very anticipated release from one of the best Dark Folk bands! Neutral was founded in 1993 by a singer and composer known as ASH, later Evgeny Voronovsky (Cisfinitum) joined the band. Literally every song of this project features delicate guitar and violin tunes, touching lyrical images and deep vocals. Neutral have never released too many albums, actually their recordings are big rarity... Aside for some demos and mini-albums, during the 20 years of existence only 2 studio albums were recorded: "...Of Shadow And Its Dream" (2004) and "Serpents In The Dawn" (2008), and also 2 live albums: "Walpurgis Night At Luisen Kirche Koenigsberg Live" (2000) and "Luisenkirche, Konigsberg" (2006). And if "Walpurgis Night" was released twice, in 2000 and 2008, "Luisenkirche, Konigsberg" was kind of lost in the history. It was published in 2006 by a cult and now deceased German Dark Folk label Eis Und Licht, but only on CDr/DVDr limited to 35 copies, which were actually sold out immediately. There was also a CDr version without bonus video, but those 100 copiesalso quickly found their places in cozy collections. After that the original masters were lost and we spent almost 2 years trying to find them and luckily we made it! Now this recording is reissued on factory pressed CD and DVD packed in heavy digibook, and light remastering work was done by Peter Andersson (raison d'etre)... Despite the work we've done, the new release is also limited to just 99 hand-numbered copies! [press-release]

Northaunt -- "Barren Land" -- 2 CD -- €20
2004/2013 Infinite Fog Productions, IF-34
"Barren Land" was the second full-length release from Northaunt (originally released 2004 on Fluttering Dragon). Recorded 2002-2003 in Spitzbergen, an island in the arctic region north of Norway; a desolate place that inspired the most arctic album by Northaunt. "Barren Land" is a masterpiece of nature-inspired ambience; a release that returns the listener to the icy floes of Norway, not only figuratively but also literally, with samples woven into a poignant ambient work that is a worthy heir. Seeking to underpin humankind's intrinsic relationship with nature, the music delves far more than simple reverb and endless drone; melodic guitar performs contrapuntal to glacial drifts groaning as giants, evanescent lisps of male and female voice grace the skies like aurora, plaintive piano swirls in the eddies of gelid and industrial storms. In addition to the "Barren Land", you will find extra CD including the mini-album "In The Midst Of Life, We Are In Death" (2004), the unreleased track "Winter II" (2004), as well as an absolutely new composition "Hopeless Dreams", the first track recorded by both members of Northaunt since 2006. This expanded edition is presented in the in finest digibook with a 12-page booklet, including additional information and photos from 2002-2003 by Haerleif. Highly recommended! [press-release]

raison d'etre -- "Collected Works" -- CD -- €12
2013 Infinite Fog Productions, IF-30
As the title suggests 'Collected Works' is not an album with new material of raison d'etre (Peter Andersson). It is a collection of tracks from between 1999 and 2010 that has appeared on various compilations or other external projects. Suprisingly, despite the collection fact, these tracks form together a unity like if they were material for a conceptual album and presents a memorandum of a past.Death, decay, melancholia and sadness is the common attributes and this is also beautifully rendered in the images by Martin Bladh (Irm, Skin Area) used for the artwork. His premature death masks sequence is based on different aging faces of Peter Andersson and works as the perfect facade for this kind of soundwise journey and exposure. [press-release]
Schattenspiel -- "Schattenkrieger" -- CD-R -- €12
2010 Ufa Muzak, UFA 35, (ltd. 150)
Neoclassic / Noir Industrial / Military Pop. Prologue. The scene's being filled with strange people, all covering their faces. The curtain trembles a bit, inviting into the mystery of dance decorated by fear. Hardly heard whispers, agitation and tension of a spring inside the audience, the way of blood will be started. We remember this mystery, we've heard all this in childhood. But who's the main character and what hides in his trickster soul? New German avant-guard theatre of post-industrial music invites to the hidden room of stylistic delicacies and a fad of soul movements. Collaborative artistic work of the musicians behind Schattenspiel, Igniis, Barbarossa Umtrunk, Art Abscons, Orpheus Enthroned. Tickets are sold out and burnt, no way out, only walls covered with brocade and someone's shadows on them. Epilogue. [press-release]
