masonna - "shock rock" (2002 midi creative / noble)



31 untitled tracks, which is pretty normal for masonna.
this album was supposed to be a bit of a 'return to form' for masonna, going
back to his erm...more "raw", "lo-fi" recordings of the "old days".
you know what to expect.


T.E.F. - "Saturn Ring Plane Hazard" (Xerxes)

t.e.f. is among the best harsh noise composers out there.
it should be no surprise then, that the compositions on this cdr are killer.

Fallen - "a tragedy's bitter end" (2004 Aftermath)

another great cd with less than stellar artwork. excellent atypical funeral doom from norway with deep droning gothy vocals and orchestral elements.

...and review from The Metal Crypt: (http://www.metalcrypt.com)

"This was a surprise. I got this with the latest Runemagick in the promo envelope from Aftermath, and I was like "hmm", because normally Funeral Doom is not really my thing, but I was just blown away by this release. Fallen are from Norway, and they have apparently been around for a while, but this is their debut. And I have never heard a better release in this genre. This album once again points up the idiocy of doing top ten lists every year. If I had heard this, it would have been on there easily for last year.

The major gripe that I and others level at badly done Doom is that it's boring. "Slow" replaces "Epic", and rather than melancholic music, you get somnolent. Well this is veeeeerrry slow music, but it is nothing short of captivating. From the first sweeping chord of the magnificent opener "Gravdans" I was just caught up in this, and I could not stop listening to it. Huge, booming riffs backed by beautiful orchestral keys create a beautiful, compelling soundscape that rises to towering heights of keen despair. There is nothing uptempo, happy, or accessible about any of this, and yet I was caught from the first note. The vocals are a pleasant surprise, as they are not harsh but a low, deep clean voice that is less singing than intoning the lyrics. The vocals actually sound a bit like Big Boss of Root held to a low moan. It's very distinctive, and very cool, and it adds a whole other dimension to already excellent music.

If you like Funeral Doom or depressive music like Agalloch, then you have to have this, as it is just the best album of its kind I have ever heard. A huge, involving, sweeping work that is never anything but bleak, and is too beautiful to stop listening to. Being on a small label, I doubt many people will get the chance to hear this, but they should. A magnificent album."

Crashdog - "The Pursuit of Happiness" (1992 Grr/Word!/Ocean records)



one of those releases that i bought twice(cass. & cd)... i bought the cassette and for many years i kinda liked parts of it, but i don't think i really 'got' the aesthetic. with time, and after seeing them live...where there was an electrocution on stage, plenty of following tech problems, prayer circles and false re-starts, it began to sink in a bit more.*BACK WHEN SPIKE NARD WAS THE VOCALIST* some 17 years later i'm quite comfortable saying that this album totally rocks. Many of their albums (this is their 3rd) are relatively easy to find with the internet, but this one...not so much. its good though. grab it.

Cataclyst - "Monuments Of A Rubicund Age" (1999 Yantra Atmospheres)

From Ritualistic Nature: "Cataclyst was a project of Peter Andersson (Raison D'Être etc), with Johanna Rosenqvist ( from Institute). The music combines the melancholic beauty of early Raison d'Être and Necrophorus, and the industrial rhythms of Institut and tribal ritual elements of another undeservedly forgotten project of Peter, Svasti-Ayanam. AMAZING Record that i advice you to hear."

Offizial Propagande - "...Oh, The Humanity" (2002 pagan moon organization)


from FUNPROX.com:
Offizial Propaganda is an Italian power electronics act with a strong apocalyptic and martial feel. Titles like ‘Final Solution’ and ‘Long live death’ may give you an idea of the direction of this album, which is devoted to the exploitation of mankind. They deal with politically uncorrect themes in an ironic manner, take for instance the title ‘White n#ggers’. Expect over 50 dense minutes of harsh noises, distorted sounds and drones, folk/classical samples and a variety of (war) speech samples.
This rather aggressive album by the duo B. Malphas (also known from Tronus Abyss) and Draucor Tibes is not something for delicate ears. Offizial Propaganda perhaps doesn’t sound very revolutionary within the powernoise genre, but “…Oh the Humanity” contains some powerful tracks like ‘Odal Europa’, which may bring us closer to the collapse of what’s left of human civilisation.

my own two cents: i wouldn't call this 'powernoise' and it certainly isn't revolutionary, nor is it always that outright harsh, if that's what you're looking for, at least not as far as its sound, though frequently you will find just that.

Arcana - "Dark Age of Reason" (1996 Cold Meat Industry)





amazing debut from Arcana, dark and emotional, evoking a time long since passed, a gothic film score, a neoclassical re-interpretation of beautiful poetry...
"... Comparisons to Dead Can Dance will be made, and they are inevitable and justified, with Arcana's approach to intrumentation and compositions nearly identical to something like De Profundis off of Dead Can Dance's 'Spleen and Ideal'. (...) woefully baroque wood winds, gently plucked strings, flowing violin orchestrations, beautiful piano melodies, and of course, the heavenly blending of baritone and soprano vocals courtesy of Peter Petterson and the beautiful Ida Bengtsson. Yes, it's all been done before in some form or another, but who am I to chastise the band for doing it this damn good?"
