Out now: KOLLAPS 'Until The Day I Die' CD/LP (CSR309CD/LP)

"Until The Day I Die", the third album from Australian post-industrial outfit KOLLAPS, is a merciless and visceral assault on the senses and continues the trajectory of the band's idiosyncratic approach in their creation of sound. The album showcases an uncompromising force of harsh post-industrial music narrated by overarching themes of condemnation and redemption; of violence, romanticism, sexuality, and addiction. Much of the creation and lyrical conceptualisation of the record has been stylised and presented using William S. Burroughs' cut-up method.

A wide variety of metals and raw materials were used in the creation of the album including metal grates, a rusted hoist, cement cylinders, field recordings, hammering of various decrepit objects, broken amplifiers, an exposed reverb tank, various synthesizers, and the infamous metal coil; a crudely self-constructed artifice that has become iconic in its use across KOLLAPS' triptych of releases and lengthy touring history in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

"Until The Day I Die" has had a tectonic shift in production methods compared to its predecessors and was entirely written, recorded, and mixed internally the self-constructed ILoveHeroin Studios built above a sculpture museum in Lugano, Switzerland. All instrumentation was handled by Wade Black except for bass guitar by Andrea Collaro recorded at Hangar 121 in Lenate Pozzollo, Italy on all tracks except "D-IX" and "I Believe In The Closed Fist", handled by Black, and additional sound design and percussion by Giorgio Salmoiraghi. 

Mastered by James Plotkin.
Cover artwork by Nullvoid (Thomas Ekelund | Trepaneringsritualen).

CD in 6-panel digipak || LP with full colour matt-laminate sleeve and printed inner lyric sleeve.

TREPANERINGSRITUALEN - 'Veil The World' Ltd LP / CD (CSR205LP/CD)

Vinyl edition of T x R x P's Swedish Ritual Industrial masterpiece, originally released 2011. Out of print since the 2015 CD edition, we're very proud to announce 'Veil The World' on vinyl for the first time, with new artwork by Thomas Ekelund (ᚦᛟᚦ ⅩⅠⅩ | Nullvoid). Ltd x 500 copies on bone white, 180g vinyl. Due to demand, we are also reissuing the CD edition in a digipak with the new 2021 artwork.

»All seals have been broken« proclaims a demonic voice on the titular track of Veil The World, and that is something terrifyingly evident in the music contained therein. On Veil The World, Trepaneringsritualen veers from crepuscular ritual moods to rabid death chants reveling, even celebrating the imminent end of flesh. Veil the World - originally released in a very limited and ultra-lavish box by Kości Tapes in 2011 - marks the half-way point between the earlier, more atmospheric works of T × R × P, and the more visceral aggression of the later material.

Trepaneringsritualen explores themes of religion, magick and the hidden realms of consciousness, taking its musical cues from the old school of ritual ambient & death industrial. Rhythmic and seething at times, and oozing forward with a creeping sense of desolation at others, Trepaneringsritualen conjures forth bleak but mesmerizing visions of the end-times.

TREPANERINGSRITUALEN Veil The World

The score for Only Lovers Left Alive -- a collaboration between SQÜRL (Jim Jarmusch, Carter Logan and Shane Stoneback) and Dutch lutenist Jozef Van Wissem -- serves as a reflection of the distinct textures of Detroit and Tangier, bridging ancient and modern sounds, entangled and timeless.

Avant-Baroque lute weaves through twenty-first century guitar grit, heavy back beats, Moroccan percussion, synth bass, field recordings, and numerous sonic effects to create a cinematic tapestry.

Guest vocalist Madeline Follin (Cults) appears on SQÜRL’s syrup soaked re-interpretation of the Wanda Jackson hit “Funnel of Love." Zola Jesus's commanding vocal soars through Van Wissem’s "In Templum Dei." And Yasmine Hamdan’s intimate and evocative “Hal" was recorded on the set of the film and mixed by SQÜRL.

The film and soundtrack album were released worldwide in 2014, and quickly earned the group the Cannes Soundtrack Award from a consortium of film and music critics. In the years that have followed it has remained a favorite of critics and fans alike, who have continued to hunt down the limited vinyl copies in existence.

Film Synopsis:
Set against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangiers, an underground musician, deeply depressed by the direction of human activities, reunites with his resilient and enigmatic lover. Their love story has already endured several centuries at least, but their debauched idyll is soon disrupted by her wild and uncontrollable younger sister. Can these wise but fragile outsiders continue to survive as the modern world collapses around them?

The Taste Of Blood

LLYN Y CWN 'Du Y Moroedd' CD (CSR302CD)

"Du Y Moroedd" (Welsh - the black of the sea) is an album of abyssal dark ambient - environmental soundscapes and atmospheres from above, below and beside the ocean; field recordings made onboard vessels at sea; sounds from submerged recording devices deep underwater; recordings from the coasts of North Wales to Greenland and the Arctic Ocean. 

"The tracks were created onboard the RV Prince Madog whilst conducting research using multibeam sonar to locate, survey and identify shipwrecks from WW1. The multibeam sonar creates images of the seabed using acoustic reflections. It is quite an experience to watch the sonar reveal an unsurveyed wreck and be the first person to "see" the ship for over 100 years; the vessel sitting at the bottom of the ocean waiting in the dark to be discovered. 

Research into the history of each wreck uncovers stories of boats torn in half by torpedoes and mines, U- boats hunted by destroyers and pummelled with depth charges. Many of these sites aren't just wrecks; they are mass war graves. The vital shipping channel to Liverpool passes the North Wales coast, the U boats would sit and wait; listening. When heard from under the water, each ship has its own unique acoustic signature based on the size of the engine, shape of the propeller, curve of the hull, these acoustic tell-tales were used by the U-boats to identify targets. The shipping lane became a shooting gallery of easy pickings and the submarines were able to slip away undetected into the black of the sea. 

The album features recordings from the hull of RRS James Clark Ross whilst ploughing through ice fields off Greenland, from a "sound trap" attached to an anchor as it descended through 80m of water to the seabed, and sounds from onboard the RV Prince Madog with its pitched engine drone. There is also a recording of the bell at Trwyn Du lighthouse, Anglesey, that was made in August 2020, days before the bell was removed to be replaced with a modern fog horn - prior to this, the bell had rung every 30 seconds since 1922" (Benjamin Ian Powell). 

File next to fellow Welshman Lustmord and Sleep Research Facility.

BURIAL HEX 'Gauze' CD (CSR301CD)

Horror Electronics and Phantasmagoric Post-Industrial usher in the brand new ritual offering from Burial Hex.

The impulse for Gauze is to be a prophylactic talisman and ward for the families directly involved with the Burial Hex project, though it can be effective for anyone who needs an extra layer of defense. The art, lyrics and sound were all layered together with supersensible content generated specifically for this purpose. Beyond just protection and defense, Gauze is an invitation to transcend sclerotic ways of experiencing incarnation, by freely juxtaposing increasingly divergent forms, and reconciling all with warmth and passion. Such has been the work of the Burial Hex project since its inception, striving towards a gestalt of timeless and enduring realms via a benign spiritual interaction with conflicting beings.

With Gauze we hear the mouths of Burial Hex spit in the face of those who would reduce psychic experience and spiritual feeling to material processes, penetrating the density of human denial and cracking the electronic shell which crushes much of our humanity. CD in digipak.

RIYL: Coil, SPK, Psychic TV, Trepaneringsritualen.

Premiere of 'Erase Me' by Varteres Durise, taken from Primordial Chaos VA forthcoming on Borders Of Known

What is chaos?
An illusion that arises from a misunderstanding of complex order, or that does not allow the universe to come to a state of absolute balance, thus the universe is constantly continuing to exist, changing shape and endlessly generating realities because it can not be balanced.

A balanced universe would be a world that no longer has a reason to move because everything has ended in it and has reached its final state...
Such a world can not exist.

KOLLAPS The Hand Of Death

JAGATH 'Svapna' CD

Jagath is a ritual / industrial / dark ambient act from Perm, Russia.

"A portal to another world is located inside an abandoned Soviet-era
swamp drain near a residential building in the Zakamsk suburb of Perm, Russia, 58.0122, 55.9623. A ritual was performed here, so now we are living in an inside-out world.

This is one of the last recordings inside our Temple - the oil tanks are finally scrapped. I hope this is not the end.

This album is dedicated to the victims of totalitarian regimes".

Jagath create their music at abandoned industrial locations - the bottom of a moist underground sewer shaft and inside huge hollow oil tanks - without using digital synthesis. Simple, mostly hand-crafted instruments, found objects and voices are used to share their vision of decaying post-industrial age, to unleash the spirit of deep beyond-world and unveil life in the abyss.

6-panel glossy digipak. For fans of: Shibalba, Phurpa, Raison D'etre, Arktau Eos.

Out 7 Oct 2022: DEAD VOICES ON AIR 'Abrader Redux' CD.

The debut album from DEAD VOICES ON AIR (Mark Spybey of DOWNLOAD / ex-ZOVIET FRANCE), feat cEvin Key (SKINNY PUPPY / DOWNLOAD). "Abrader" blends processed sounds from primitive instruments and found objects into hypnotic looped rhythmic structures, with dark clusters of heavy ambient washes into what could be described as Organic Panambience, or 'music for the eyes'.

The hugely sought-after "Abrader" was the first of over 80 releases (so far) by Mark Spybey using the name DEAD VOICES ON AIR. It was recorded over the space of days in Vancouver in 1993 and released as a tape the following year by Akifumi Nakajima (AUBE), for his G.R.O.S.S. label. Chronologically, the material was recorded after most of the music that made up his first two releases on compact disc - "New Words Machine" and "Hafted Maul" - however, "Abrader" was released before both of those albums. 

"Abrader Redux" features the three lengthy tracks that were released on the original cassette, plus the bonus tracks that were included in the 2009 reprint as part of the "Fast Falls The Eventide" double CD, and now with two 'new' previously-unreleased bonus tracks recorded 1994 - taking this masterwork up to 7 tracks and over 67 minutes of exceptional music.

"If most ambient is the laudanum of the new fin de siécle, then Dead Voices on Air are the absinthe" (Village Voice)

This release is dedicated to the memory of both Akifumi Nakajima and Zev Asher who both passed away in 2013. Spybey was introduced to Akifumi by his friend from Vancouver, Zev Asher. Zev had a noise project called Roughage and was also in a band called Nimrod, that had at one time been based in Japan. 

The album for Cold Spring has been remastered by Martin Bowes from Attrition. Packaged in a matt-laminate digipak with art by Spybey, beautifully laid out by Abby Helasdottir.

KOLLAPS Hate Is Forever

LULL 'That Space Somewhere' CD

Cold Spring proudly present the first new album in 14 years from LULL - the pioneering, isolationist dark ambient project of MICK HARRIS (SCORN, FRET, ex-NAPALM DEATH).

EXCLUSIVE FULL ALBUM STREAM AT THE SLEEPING SHAMAN: https://www.thesleepingshaman.com/streams/premiere-lull-that-space-somewhere

LULL was conceived by Mick Harris in 1990, in an attempt to create music that would stretch, if not forsake entirely, the structures of conventional music by developing and exploring sound without beats.

MICK HARRIS ON LULL: 

"I finally heard the way of recording, making profound sounds. Lull is purely something I can get lost in, as far as trying to create these imaginary spaces. And that’s what I always tried to do – to create. I'm a lover of sounds. I love collecting sounds. Playing with those sounds using various software until I created something new from that sound. Which for me end being what I call "a droner" or "a drift",  I’d use those to create a piece of music, or a sound-scape. That's what I’m doing with Lull. Just trying to create soundscapes. And to this day, still, absolutely love doing that". 

THAT SPACE SOMEWHERE:

"I haven't made Lull records since 2007 so... with this pandemic, I have time on my hands. I've used that time, I think, to the best. Going to the music-room is pretty much an everyday thing to me. Which has been the best thing because I’ve not been able to do this since the 90's when I had various studios... Since the lockdown I had all this time on my hands and I created a lot of good music, which I'm actually happy with.

I'm a fisherman. It gives me a lot of space. It gives me immense pleasure. For me it's about going to the river. I like moving water. The seasons change, the river changes with the seasons. It clears my mind, gives me ideas, gives me the space to be by myself and with nature... just listening to the sounds around me.

LULL is quite natural for me. It's an extension of me. Drifting. Just going to darkness. Into a space. LULL is drifting and droning, discovering more and more what can be done with sound. These soundscapes hugely appeal to me".

NYTT LAND 'Fimbulvinter' CD (CSR234CD)

Second edition of Nytt Land's 2017 album, which quickly sold out on first pressing.

Notably outstanding on the Russian scene and largely compared with the legendary Wardruna, NYTT LAND are unique in their devotion to ritual Northern music and tradition. Their approach, using genuine native hand-crafted instruments, and true Old Norse, help them to grasp the true spirit of ancient Northern music like no one in Eastern Europe has done before. Their music is mostly based on the sources from Poetic Edda, performed in original Old Islandic.

"Fimbulvinter" is enriched with instruments like bagpipes and trembita (Alpine horn), and throat singing skillfully used to illustrate the occurrence of the forces of chaos; chthonic monsters in the world of men and gods. Fear and powerlessness alongside belief in the coming revival, renewal.

All Scandinavian mythology is permeated with fatalism, humbleness to fate. The same mood saturates "Fimbulvinter". The first part is dedicated to the creation of the world and people, embodying the warm seasons. The second half to winter, the death of all living things.

NYTT LAND 'Oðal' CD (CSR249CD)

Siberian band NYTT LAND presents its new epic musical canvas. Working with the same unchanging 4 band-members, the musicians continue to revive the true magical sound of the Ancient North.

OĐAL...
HERITAGE...
PATH TO THE ROOTS...

Oðal is inspired by the traditional music of the indigenous peoples of Siberia, the Old Icelandic epic and the atmosphere of classic Norwegian black metal.

This time the album was recorded without using samples; all parts of the instruments were performed live. All songs were recorded and mixed in one of the technical quality best Russian studios, "Radio Sibir", which strongly affected the sound quality. All the sounds of nature were recorded in western Siberia and northern Norway.

For the first time the 4-year-old son of Natalia and Anatoly, Yuri Pakhalenko, took part. By this they emphasise the concept of the album - heritage.

As in the previous album, Fimbulvinter (CSR234CD), Oðal features the traditional Siberian overtone singing technique "kargyraa", but the overtone singing by vocalist Natalia Pakhalenko gives a special character to the sound. This is very unique, since this technique is a almost exclusively a male singing practice due to its physicality.

So, it's time to start the path to the roots...

'ANTICHRIST' Original Soundtrack (LARS VON TRIER) Etched 12" (CSR272LP)

Cold Spring are proud to announce the first ever physical release of the soundtrack to Lars Von Trier's controversial film 'Antichrist'. Ten years after the film's initial release, the extreme, provocative performances from Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg in 'Antichrist' still have the power to shock, repulse and divide. 

The sound design by Kristian Eidnes Andersen with Lars Von Trier, was composed using only natural sounds and samples (including internal body recordings). Each element was recorded specifically for the film and overseen by Von Trier, including a brand new, sombre performance of Händel’s ‘Lascia Ch’io Pianga’, recorded in Kastelskirken church in Copenhagen, 2009.

Pressed onto heavyweight 180 gram vinyl with an etched B-Side. Housed in a heavy 350gsm card full colour sleeve featuring the original theatrical release artwork.

12" 'Eden Olive' Coloured Etched Vinyl (Ltd Ed 250 copies, via Cold Spring only)

Out Now

“…the score feels like it was recorded in the bowels of hell and wants to break out. It’s an interesting release and the pressing is clear with an excellent focus on low frequencies, which makes for a fascinating listen” (Moviedrone: This Month’s Finest Film Soundtracks, September 2019 @ The Quietus)

“…a monster of a record…it certainly packs a punch. Andersen’s music here is rich, elemental and utterly terrifying. Heavy bass drones are smeared and slurred across the stereo spectrum. Quaking and crackling sounds will have you worrying for the integrity of your speakers… the un-music, the audiable, the hum of the world. Silence has never sounded so uncanny.” (The Quietus)

“The uneasy viewing is matched by a similarly thought-provoking soundtrack, meaning this new vinyl release feels fresh, necessary and exciting… something that’s curiously familiar and yet utterly, unsettlingly alien… a subtle, enveloping experience that’s perfect for all those late-night meditations on sex, death, myth and the endless, aching power of loss.” (Rue Morgue)

“Just like the film itself, Antichrist’s soundtrack is uncomfortable to listen to…The result is an ominous score that matches the sadomasochism that unveils itself onscreen; a thought-provoking soundscape of elements that have been meticulously layered and arranged to form something that has a sense of familiarity upon first listen for horror fanatics, but gradually reveals itself to be as unsettling and, perhaps, as polarising as the blood ejaculating visuals conjured from the mind of director/agitator Von Trier.” (Attack From Planet B)

'ANTICHRIST O.S.T.' (Lars Von Trier) - Lascia Ch'io Pianga Prologue

KHOST 'Buried Steel'(CSR278CD)

‘Buried Steel’ is the fourth album from Birmingham industrial metal duo KHOST, following the 2017 release ‘Governance’.

Themes and sonics of ‘Buried Steel’ range from granite and impassive to dreamlike and somnambulistic, in keeping with the promise – and threat – of the title, dwelling on slow, infallible ruination: a gravitational downthrust upon misshapen monuments and structures which are mangled, overgrown and increasingly forgotten. A monochrome landscape where nature reclaims and redefines us as time passes.

Recording of the album was marred with events such as an electrical fire which damaged some equipment. As a result, a number of tracks on the album had to be pieced together from damaged analogue elements such as reel to reel (Khost reel to reel RIP). From this point, the dynamic of some of the songs was altered, shifting their eventual outcome, particularly the tone of ambient work on Buried Steel.

Guests on ‘Buried Steel’ include Stephen Mallinder (CABARET VOLTAIRE, WRANGLER), Syan, Eugene Robinson (OXBOW), Manuel Liebeskind, Daniel Buess (16-17, MIR) and Stephen Ah Burroughs (TUNNELS OF AH, ex-HEAD OF DAVID)

CD in 6-panel digipak with artwork contributions from Talitha Bell, Syan and Craig Earp.
