The Nihilistic Front
Last updated: 20 January 2012
THE NIHILISTIC FRONT are progressing well with tracks for the new album - for a completion in spring 2012.
Titled "Procession To Annihilation" - the cover art is also finished.
This new material will crush any emotion and empathy you may have remaining following their previous 3 albums - TNF are the musical manifestation of all the hatred and contempt you have for society.
TNF have commented - "What the fuck have we created!" - as the realisation dawns of the monster that is being conceived.

Goatpsalm
Last updated: 6 November 2011
I am extremely pleased to be working with Russian act GOATPSALM on their forthcoming 2nd album - Erset La Tari
Bleak death industrial ambient for the fearless, a dark initiation co-existing with lo-fi noise and raw black metal visitations - an eclectic diversion of auditory dissonance and dissidence.
Features members of Karna, Sickrites, Baal Zebuth, Cyber Baphomet etc
A true underground and occult aura surrounds this act of darkness. Highly anticipated....
Saxon Barbarians
Last updated: 6 November 2011
Pernicious Enigma - the 2nd album, and to some the best, recorded back in 1997 from Saxon Barbarians - ESOTERIC
Work is ongoing with the 3-LP vinyl version of "The Pernicious Enigma" - currently the artwork is receiving a layout overhaul by Mauro Berchi, along with the album being totally re-mixed and re-mastered by Greg Chandler. Never being completely happy with the eventual sound of the original release - the vinyl version gives an opportunity to revisit and amend.
More details to follow soon...
Fatum Elisum - Homo Nihilis cd
Last updated: 30 October 2011
.jpg)
out now (28th October 2011) is the new album from FATUM ELISUM - Homo Nihilis
four long tracks of awesome and epic doom - since the self-titled debut Fatum Elisum have progressed and matured, and have now forged their own style of doom - albeit with a healthy reference to the early 90s sounds of Cathedral, Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride.
A thoughtful and melancholic album - with a stunning vocal display from Ende
quality recording and great artwork - highly recommended album
The Nihilistic Front
Last updated: 13 September 2011
Aesthetic Death will be working together with Australian uber-crushing extreme doom death act - THE NIHILISTIC FRONT
TNF are currently working on their fourth full length album - although this will be their first release with a label. The first TNF albums have been outstanding - and would be appreciated by people with an empathy towards the sounds reminiscent of the early days of bands like Esoteric, Disembowelment, Loss etc....
Expect awesome heavy oppressive unrelenting punishing doom........

Section 37 CD released
Last updated: 20 February 2011
OUT NOW...
eclectic dark electronic poetry
Section 37 is the musical extension of the blackened mind of a deranged poet, one that is fustrated by a savage disdain to the modern world.
"The Kudos Of Serial Killing" is gleaned from a collection of serial killer poems. Portraying the twisted reasoning of "serial killers", each piece to its own eclectic dark rhythmic electronic style of music. Coupled with sound bites and samples to prepare for a dark journey into minds of madness.
Taking elements of Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, VAC, Underworld, Roger Waters, Depeche Mode, Lustmord, FLA etc...
available to order now - £5 postpaid worldwide

Black Depths Grey Waves
Last updated: 25 January 2011
I am very pleased to announce news of a forthcoming co-operation with US act - BLACK DEPTHS GREY WAVES.
BDGW is a black occult industrial project from the sickened minds of Clint Listing (As All Die, Long Winters Stare, When Joy Becomes Sadness) and Saint Ov Gravediggers (Ordo Tyrannis, Grim Pig)
Noise-filled, black industrial, occult evocations - music that will make you feel at one with your disturbed mind.
Expect their 3rd album "Nightmare Of The Blackened Heart" during summer 2011 - this exceptional wall of noise will appeal greatly to those that have an inclination towards the grim art of MZ 412, Valefor, In Slaughter Natives, Schloss Tegal etc....

A tale highlighting the continuous decay of the human race.

Features collaboration from members of Uncertainty Principle (UK), Torture Wheel (USA) & Until Death Overtakes Me (BEL).
Limited to 1000 copies - UK£7.00/Euro 8 - postpaid worldwide
Murkrat - Drudging The Mire CD
Last updated: 19 August 2010
The new Murkrat tracks are now recorded.
This 2nd album is nothing short of stunning - some of the darkest, most depressed and enchanting doom I've ever heard - emanating directly from the heart and soul.
Plenty of bands claim to be dark and depressive - but this album makes those bands seem more like Coldplay, lightweight and weak.
This music takes you to darkest voids, then strips you of your emotions - then will remind you of your pathetic insecurities.
A beautifully balanced album - it will reward you finely if you dare to enter the world of the Murkrat.
