From Musique Machine:
Der Blutharsch – The Philosopher’s Stone
At its heart The Philosopher’s Stone is a rock’n’ roll album, be it gothic licked, atmospheric and building, tongue in cheek, or just down and dirt rock. Set through out the albums rock crown you find other genre traces such as lo-fi electroinca, world music, dark pop, country & neo-folk.Halo Manash – Language of Red Goats
This is the new sonic manifesto from Halo Manash and the occultic ambient & mysterious Finnish label /collective Aural Hypnox. It finds them striping down of their atmospheric and ritual sound to a very organic and rhythmic base, With much of the album built around gong, percussive and dark ritual tones.Beequeen – Sandancing
This is my first taste of Beequeen’s quirky cocktail of pop, electroncia, indie guitar strum and female vocals. And I’ll have to say I’m quite taken by the tuneful, lazy and often bizarre air that purveys Sandancing’s sonic Canyon’s.Various Artists – Zelphabet volume B
Zelphabet volume B is the second in a series of 26 compilations each featuring sound/ noise/ experimental artists names who start with each conceding letter of the Alphabet- with this edition easily topping the great start of Volume A. Featuring a track a piece from The Beast People,16 Bitch Pile-Up, Black humour, Bob Bellerue.Striborg – Journey of A Misanthrope (dvd)
Journey of a Misanthrope finds Tasmanian black metal /experimental project Striborg offer up an hour and half of grim, creepy and atmospheric visuals to a selection of eight tracks from throughout his prolific discography.
