Cineploit, the label run by ex-Pungent Stencher Alex has a mission statement of primarily releasing Cinematic Music and Italian Genre Film. Naturally this involves some fantastic and at times strange material, which although united by a common sensibility delivers some… Continue Reading →
For her second album Hildring (Engl. mirage) Lindy-Fay Hella of Wardruna has joined forces with fellow Norwegians Dei Farne (Roy Ole Førland and Ingolf Hella Torgersen). Following her solo debut Seafarer (2019) which regarding themes and soundscapes was close to… Continue Reading →
I really enjoyed last album ‘Herbslicht’ by Italian maestro Regen Graves. If his name is familiar to you this is probably due to recordings in the stratosphere of doom with the likes of Tony Tears and Abysmal Grief. When working… Continue Reading →
Well this has the label tag number 55 on it so that seems to be the number of releases we have reached from Austrian cosmonauts Der B as I shall abbreviate their name to for sanity’s sake. Although I have… Continue Reading →
