OPERANT - TRAUMKöRPER LP [IOD050] 
500 vinyl on Purple crystal transparent w/ insert, 100 CS and CD.

As an outfit that has existed on the fringes of the club scene, Operant continues their willingness to break genre taboos and expectations with their debut LP, Traumkörper, exhibiting a hybrid vision of electronic and organic elements that gives rise to a sound self-described as somewhere between extra-terrestrial black-metal, singularity-sludge, proto-psy-trance, anime noise-core techno and auto-tuned trap-folk.

These disparate methodologies are bound together by the conceptual elements that operate at the core of Operant’s thematic universe: the transcendence and destruction of the body, consciousness melding with machines and the manufacturing of new realities. As a blueprint to new forms, Traumkörper sets a path both disorienting and euphoric.

Over the course of 11 tracks the Berlin based duo and operators of record label, Instruments Of Discipline, Luna Vassarotti (IT) and August Skipper (AUS) birth their dream-body, an unsettling soundtrack for the strangeness of our times.

We are happy to premiere a track from Russian rising star Noform, taken from his upcoming split with Samot, to be released on House of Reptile Records.
Dark, trippy and steamy, this is cinematic, industrial-broken beat at its best. 

The release features two massive remixes, firstly from Tomohiko Sagae who delivers an absolute industrial power remix of Samot’s 'Parallel Reality', intended for peak-time darkness, and Angel Attack who provides his signature style of broken techno, electro & EBM with a metal touch on his Noform remix.

ARTIST: TOMOHIKO SAGAE x NEVER WORSE - TOE TAG
LABEL: STRANGE THERAPY
CAT NR: ST015
FORMAT: CASSETTE AND DIGITAL
RELEASE DATE: 29 MARCH 2022

Returning label noise assailants Tomohiko Sagae and Never Worse conspire together in this half-hour lasting production and process line of controlled machine violence. Crushing and churning post-industrial schemes meet abrasive noisescapes, where rhythmic monstrosities usurp the dominion of our planet in an act of rusty robotic revenge. Screeching through different intensities and tensions. Presenting a fascinating yet frightful sonic world where man is obsolete and machines are dancing on our final rest places following static anti-melodies.

SALYAH - SETE STAR (archive)

@Evitceles, the project of Etien Slavchev, is documenting the time of day where no light can catch us with his album ‘Infinite Night’. 

Rustling and drowning in distressing sentiment through dramatic scenarios in which particles of droning guitar, rhythmic noise and eerie atmospheres conjure an alternative endless time span. Within becomes without in a transformative experience using a diverse palette of pace and ambiances, confronting the listener amidst their own fears and touches of melancholy.

Infinite Night

PRE-ORDER

Evitceles | Infinite Night [clips]

Age Eternal is the solo project of german musician and visual artist Lissa Benno. Since 2015, she has been diving into the subconscious to find her own musical language. With reverb-drenched guitars, hypnotic synths and ethereal vocals she creates a dreamy yet heavy haze. Her influences come from a wide variety of musical styles such as Ambient or Krautrock while she is also drawn to pop-music and mysticism.

"Wash Away" is a meditation about change as an universal force that is both fulfilling and terrifying. "Before and throughout the writing of the record I saw myself confronted with significant alterations in my daily life, which I sometimes had a hard time dealing with" says Lissa. The record bows down to that mighty ruthless force that is entrenched into everyone and everything that surrounds us and the potential that lies within it.

This LP is co-released by Third Coming Records (fr), Instruments Of Discipline (de), Premium Abundance (dk).

Strange Therapy presents a new name in its ever-growing roster: the French duo Second Spectre . A Cast of Memories is the name of their 8-track cassette here presented, a new chapter with a haunting rhythmic approach and filled with beautiful emotional cinematic soundscapes.

“Do You Believe In God” is a crawling and dark affair which starts with a subtle movement reaching harsher expression quite soon. An interplay between rhythmic mantras and ominous atmospheres guide us among a decadent reality, and during the second half of the track we collide into pure chaotic noise touching power electronics influences before returning to evocative effects. “Absolution” is like a horror movie made music, starting with droning lines and sudden bursts of hard-hitting blasts. A broken structure becomes the main movement, paused by eerie ambiances. Militant marches and technoid grimness become one in an obsessive mantra underlined by sacramental undertones. “Chaos Is A Ladder” has an almost urban feeling thanks to its breakbeat innuendos, but the listener will find himself among a city destroyed by an apocalyptic event. A cinematic atmosphere crafts a frantic chase with triumphal underlines, but the episode is ready to surprise us with modern, mechanical sounds. A fusion between epic and harsh aiming to conquer and transport us to a mental movie. “Death Note” slowly grows into a ritualistic evocation via sharp effects and industrial kicks, a serpentine pastiche no strange to subtle distortions and droning moments. Once again we find ourselves in a dark world conjured by aptly placed soundscapes and rhythmic patterns released at the right time, and the last part of the track sees a celestial climax. 

“Wisdom” reinstates the movie-like world of the album, starting with sombre patterns and then adding ominous vocal samples. After a while we find ourselves in a bombastic gallop which grows in intensity without really exploding. Instead, shrilling dissonances herald menacing orchestrations and interplays between broken rhythms. “Fear God” works like an interference made music, employing throbbing distortions and glorious, riffing lines in a fine example of obsessive rhythmic structures. Various tempos have their say during the course of the track, so the listener will find themself racing with their mind between sonic corridors. “Deadly Harvest” works as a study in suspense and tension, making its way with drone loops until it reaches more of a rhythmic momentum. A sort of dark d'n'bass movement takes its place in the composition, offering a very interesting moment for the listener. Heavily distorted vocals give an old-school feeling to the track, while eerie ambiances show themselves among the sounds. “Before It Disappears” ends our journey with a final cinematic statement made of dark orchestrations and sparse distortions. The drilling tension gives itself up in a robotic march empowered by almost melancholic lines. Once again Second Spectre shows their more emotional side to the listener. The mix between evoking stances and steady rhythmic loops is the perfect epitaph for this engaging work.
