Factory-pressed CD in solid cardboard-folder. URFYR is a fairly new project, after some years of spreading demos, Licht und Stahl is proud to present the first proper release. The music by this duo from germany is entirely dedicated to germanic mythology and heathen spirituality, as in this case, the celebration of the winter solstice. Or, in their own words, we simply call it "runosophic ritual music". Expect an exciting blend of dark ambient, neo-classical arrangements and rather synth- and guitar-driven "pop-songs", not unlike some earlier Allerseelen... Price: 10,- € + postage. Orders to: mario_loehr(at)t-online(dot)de or hag-all(at)gmx.net.
2 professionally made tapes in solid plastic case with various inserts. This one brings together the "Transmitter"-Trilogy for the first time which single parts were released through 2007 and 2008 (Mindscreen, Zeitpapier, Äthernarkose). Additionally you get 4 exclusive remixes by the following artists:
You can get the box at LICHT UND STAHL (Germany => mario_loehr (at) t-online.de) and DESERTED FACTORY (Japan) for 10,- € + postage. More pictures HERE.
"Fleisch", the latest full-length work by Flutwacht´s ambient-industrial/drone-alter ego, this time released in cooperation with Contagious Orgasm´s famous SSSM-label, is a step further into vast auditive desolation. Expect minimal bass-heavy loop-pieces of a purity which hardly finds any equivalent these days. Recorded entirely in a rather "oldschool" analog way, these recordings couldn´t have found a better medium than the classic magnetic tape... Professionally made C-80-tape. Limited edition of 60 numbered copies. Available for 8, - Euro + shipping. (Orders to: mario_loehr [at] t-online.de)
Ensomhet 777 is another moniker of Riccardo Z., well knwown for his martial industrial project Zr.19.84. This first full-length release features one long piece in two chapters. Expect raw, athmospheric post-black metal, speckled with experimental ambient- and neo-folkloristic tunes. "Lagoscuro" is about the south-tyrolian region around the lake of the same name, which was an important battlefield in WW1. Professionally made C-60-tape. Limited edition of 50 numbered copies. Available for 8, - Euro + shipping. (Orders to: mario_loehr [at] t-online.de)
Behide Flesh Crawler hide the well-known german noise-/industrial-artists DCS (Flutwacht, Fieberflug...) and Vincenzo Bossi (Brechen, Shadow Theater...). On their first release they present an affecting mixture of deep dark ambient industrial, not unlike the latest Fieberflug works, and harsh, abrasive noise walls. Stamped high-quality CDr in printed cardboard-sleeve. Limited edition of 30 numbered copies. Available for 8, - Euro + shipping. (Orders to: mario_loehr [at] t-online.de)
"Zentralebene" is the second album by Strahlenzentrum on which the rhythmic element of the cold and minimal compositions comes to the foreground. This pure electronic music, by means of intense, monotonous beatbox-patterns and analogue synthesizer sounds, creates a rather "oldschool" athmosphere of "electronic totentanz". There are two editions of the album, as high-end CDr in a white digipak and as a white C60-tape. Available for 8, - Euro + shipping. (Orders to: mario_loehr [at] t-online.de)
On their second collaborative album M. and N. present a pretty dark and isolationist soundwork. Mystified creates calm athmosheric pieces from N.Strahl.N´s concrete sounds and unfinished compositions, mostly using machinery sounds. N.Strahl.N builds up a maelstrom of hypnotic mechanical soundwalls, refined from Mystified´s electronic drones. Available for 8, - Euro + shipping. (Orders to: mario_loehr [at] t-online.de)
From subtile organic drones to dramatic harshness. "Shipwrecks" is a very skillful blend of post-industrial soundworks, perfectly illustrating the title of the album. Limited edition of 50 numbered copies. Available for 8, - Euro + shipping. (Orders to: mario_loehr [at] t-online.de)
L.u.S. is proud to present the debut album by this exciting project from spain. Vacio Perfecto uses contemporary computer techniques to create a sounds which is rather close to what you might call "old school" industrial. Cold, isolationist noisescapes create a kind of inner image which finds a very fitting description in the project´s name: the "complete emptiness". There are two editions of the album, as pro-manufactured CDr in a matt grey digipak and as a white C60-tape. Available for 8, - Euro + shipping. (Orders to: mario_loehr [at] t-online.de)
