Originally released by Side Effects in 1986, Zamia Lehmanni was the third (and final) core SPK album and was Graeme Revell's first truly solo project. He was in a period of transition, somewhere between the industrial noise of the early years and his later award-winning soundtrack work. On the day before this was first released, this style of music, now ubiquitous (especially in soundtracks), did not exist. After Information Overload Unit (1981) cleared a space for subsequent explorations, and the environmental percussion and anchored mutilated sound collages of Leichenschrei (1982), the "body without organs" was fully eviscerated. Graeme felt "industrial music" was becoming ossified and needed to be taken into radically new territories: "post-industrial". The track "In Flagrante Delicto" (mastered as originally intended here) was later used by Revell for his work on the soundtrack for the 1989 film Dead Calm, which won him Best Original Score from the Australian Film Institute. Unavailable in any format since Mute's 1992 CD edition, Cold Spring Records now present this landmark album on newly remastered CD, and on vinyl for the first time since 1986. Approved by Graham Revell, this release comes with new artwork by Abby Helasdottir and is remastered by Martin Bowes (The Cage). New liner notes from Graeme Revell, 2019. CD version comes in six-panel digipak; the track "The Doctrine Of Eternal Ice" appears on CD only.

The tenth album from The Telescopes is full of wall-to-wall psychedelic drones, swaying chants, trance-inducing shoegaze, and "suspended-in-space magnificence" (Julian Cope). Stone Tape is a concept album inspired by "Stone Tape Theory" (or "residual haunting"), theorized by Thomas Charles Lethbridge in 1961. The archaeologist, parapsychologist, and explorer developed the idea that inanimate materials can absorb energy from living beings, and that this mental electrical energy, released during emotional or traumatic events, could somehow be "stored" in such materials and "reproduced" under certain conditions. The hypothesis has been known as "Stone Tape Theory" since the cult 1972 TV screenplay Stone Tape by Nigel Neale. Recorded in Powderhorn Minneapolis, The Vicarage, West Yorkshire, and The Experimental Health Unit. Originally released as a limited-edition LP by Italian publishing house Yard Press in 2017 (YP 001LP), this CD edition contains a bonus 14-minute version of the track "The Living Things", recorded in Switzerland in 2018. Digipak with new artwork by Stephen Lawrie. Mastered by Martin Bowes at The Cage. Layout by Abby Helasdottir.

Sonically minimal yet devastating in emotional impact, this working lets the listener grasp the last vestiges of Nifl and Múspell, and with them as weapon and beacon traverse the Night. ᛉᛣ reveals a barren landscape where crooked paths lead onward, through soot black veils to a point of radiant light where all that is Union & Dissolution.

Cold Spring Records announce the first ever official physical release of the soundtrack to Lars Von Trier's controversial film Antichrist, originally released in 2009. 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, somber 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 full-color sleeve featuring the original theatrical release artwork, approved by the director.
Award-winning Danish composer Kristian Eidnes Andersen has produced music and sound design for films, television, and documentaries for 30 years, notably working with Lars Von Trier on the films Antichrist, The House That Jack Built (2018), Dancer In The Dark (2000), Melancholia (2011), and Nymphomaniac (Vol I & II) (2013).

Égrégore is a ritual collaboration between B.S.s. (Common Eider, King Eider, Badgerlore, Six Organs Of Admittance collaborator) and Arexis (La Breiche, Coume Ouarnede, Stille Volk, Ihan) and all of the spirits of the Pyrenees present during those Dark Moon Rituals, wishing to speak. Born under May's New Dark Moon in 2018, born in secrecy, in darkness, in ritual. Born in a tiny cabin in the Pyrenees of France... Born in humbleness... in friendship. Born to offer voice to the stones and waters and stars and all the spirits of that land. Born to summon... Born to give thanks. Rituals documented late into the night and early morning hours. Black moon... Black Mother... Voices captured whispering, wailing, lashing out. Rocks ground together, bundles of branches channeling voices hanging in the air, wishing to be heard, but spoken with a foreign tongue. Bells ring to both banish and invoke. Antlers scratching... mapping a direction... drawing digits. Voices speaking of loss, of longing... of hope, of despair. Voices singing of the broken relationship with the land and spirits. Voices screaming for repair and reciprocity. Recorded live using electronics, rocks, antler, branches, and voice. Four offerings given as gifts to the black air... the burnt soil... Gifts to the Spirits living in those forests and mountains of the Pyrenees. Dark moon folk magic... Housed in a beautiful matte-laminate gatefold eco-pak, with visuals prepared by Kevin Gan Yuen (Sutekh Hexen).

LP version. Includes printed inner sleeve. Australian post-industrialists Kollaps are a three-piece creating a unique brand of primitive noise "intended for degenerates and outsiders". The band's distinctive primordial tones are created using appropriated waste materials like scrap metal, raw plastics, and steel plates combined with blistering percussion, bass, and vocals. This is no empty "industrial" gesture, for the band this process of creation facilitates the literal use of postmodern society against itself. Mechanical Christ, the band's sophomore release, is a conceptual continuation of its predecessor, Sibling Lovers (2017). This release sees Kollaps further their exploration of the inherent societal sickness of our times, one that manifests itself in the debasement of individual morality. Themes of exploitation, vengeance, drug addiction, paranoia, and slave labor are part of a dissonant, inverted morality play. Testament to the band's evolving conceptual depth are the overarching themes of love, life, and death that offer a sense of shared experience in the discomfort of the universal human experience. Known for their violent and nihilistic stage performances, this recording encapsulates with harsher clarity the visceral confrontation that is Kollaps' live act. Mechanical Christ was recorded and mixed over a two-month period at Aviary Studios by Mike Deslandes, and mastered by James Plotkin/Plotkinworks. A journey into the desperation and lack of resolve that is both the crux of modern social ills and at the very heart of the human condition.

Llyn Y Cwn's Twll Du (Black Hole) is an ominous dark ambient journey through vast atmospheric landscapes. Each beautifully-crafted opus is based on a bespoke field recording and is named after an area of Cwm Idwal, home of the Twll Du. Swelling, monolithic drones reveal the majestic power of the mountains. The music conveys an immersive atmosphere and is intended to be played as the listener falls into a deep sleep. Llyn Y Cwn (Lake Of The Dogs) is a small lake at 715m in the Glyder mountain range of Snowdonia, North Wales. The Devil's Kitchen is the name given to the dark, black crack which splits the rock of Clogwyn y Geifr (Cliff Of The Goat) between Y Garn and Glyder Fawr. The Welsh name for Devil's Kitchen is Twll Du, meaning 'black hole', because of the plume of steam that is often seen rising from the crack resembling a chimney. It's said when steam can be seen rising from the chimney, the Devil is cooking. File next to fellow Welshman Lustmord.
Benjamin Ian Powell on the project's genesis: "I am an electronics technician for the School of Ocean Sciences at Bangor University; I spend a lot of time of time at sea on scientific research cruises which is where most of my music is written using a laptop and headphones. I have been on research trips to the Arctic several times on Russian, British and Canadian icebreakers, an experience that has been a large inspiration to my music. I have lived in North Wales all my life and spend as much time as I can in my camper van in the mountains."
Presented in a six-panel digipak with breathtaking photography by the artist.

LP version. Lost In Blue is the brand new album from Anni Hogan (Marc & The Mambas, The Willing Sinners, La Magia). An astounding, attentive work on an emotive shared journey. Songs in despair searching for hope, moments of monumental horror, and outpouring screams of consciousness. A poignant, bleak album for these times. Lost In Blue has elements of orchestral delight, dark cabaret, and modern vaudeville, with Anni's trademark torch songs evoking the dimly-lit corners of bohemian Soho and reigniting the sordid torment of those illustrious Marc & The Mambas days. All this is wrapped in the magical vocals of: Lydia Lunch, Wolfgang Flür (ex-Kraftwerk), Gavin Friday (ex-Virgin Prunes), Kid Congo Powers (The Gun Club, ex-Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, ex-The Cramps), Richard Strange (Doctors Of Madness), and many more. Produced by Dave Ball (Soft Cell) and Riccardo Mulhall, the brilliant guests' lyrical content responds perfectly to the music, resonating with and cohabiting the sonics created. Also features Celine Hispiche, Scarlet West, and John Fiddler. Photography by Peter Ashworth. File next to: Marc & The Mambas, Jacques Brel, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. CD version includes bonus track.

Live At Sonic City includes an audio/visual document of The New Blockader's last ever live performance which took place at the Thurston Moore-curated Sonic City festival in Kortrijk, Belgium in 2017. Fans of noise music will need no introduction to the work of TNB. Ron Lessard, of legendary US Noise label RRRecords, once stated, "I'd give the nod to TNB as being the first truly devoted noise artists." TNB served as a major influence on legendary noise pioneers such as Merzbow and their influence on the current crop of popular crossover noise artists, such as Wolf Eyes, is immeasurable. TNB's performance at Sonic City can best be described as a noise symphony: metal-bashing and grinding, hammering, eviscerating microphone feedback, torrents of glorious mangle and harsh electronics all skillfully blended with a collage of manifold sounds and dynamics. Far from being a typical noise show, TNB's performance (if it can be described as such) contained elements of absurdist theater and performance art, although, TNB would likely loathe to be described as such. A magnificent display of the art of noise, TNB as defiant as ever in their total rejection of everything. "For optimal enjoyment we recommend that this DVD be viewed with no sound." Six-panel digipak. DVD is PAL format, region free.

As Vivian Slaughter morphs into Viviankrist, the music also changes from the intense cold desperation and raw nerve brutality of Gallhammer into a kaleidoscope of electronic sounds... still brutal and shattering, and still depicting soundscapes that close in on the darker side of the soul. A way to escape the dull pressure of a reality that sometimes seems to slip away into psych wards and chemicals. A reaction towards indifference. A shard of mentality released in wave after wave of fully analog sounds, sometimes disturbed by digital intrusions. The twilight and dawn of things to come from a renewed Viviankrist. File under: Japanese noise, power electronics, electronica.

Swedish behemoths MZ.412 return with Svartmyrkr, their first full-length in 12 years, once again asserting their dominion as the true kings of black industrial. Svartmyrkr is a massive tour de force that reinvents the classic sound of MZ.412 whilst retaining their trademark malevolent harshness. This album is dedicated to the true hell of the north -- Helheim -- and the giant goddess that rules it, Hel. From blackened ritual incantations, to bleak yet beautiful dark ambient arrangements, to harsh bombastic orchestrations, this album exceeds all expectations. MZ.412 blur the lines between music, magick and reality. The earth trembles... the mountains quake... all light is vanquished. The Swedish overlords darken the hearts and extinguish the souls of all who bear witness to Svartmyrkr. Beginning in 1988 (as Maschinenzimmer 412), MZ.412 are the inventors of black industrial, a genre mixing industrial noise, ritual ambient and black metal atmospheres. The band gained notoriety through their early releases on Cold Meat Industry. The mastermind behind the project is Henrik "Nordvargr" Björkk (Pouppée Fabrikk, Folkstorm, etc.), with Drakh (Beyond Sensory Experience) and Ulvtharm. Composed, recorded and produced by Nordvargr, Ulvtharm, and Drakh. 2015-2018. E.V. guitars on "Lokastafr Ablaze With The Thorns Of Death" by Kristoffer Oustad, additional atmospheres and vibrations by Siegfried Meinertz. Artwork by Axel Torvenius. Digipak.

Mine is the second release for the Italian artist Alice Kundalini with her solo project She Spread Sorrow. Between the dark rooms of an abandoned college, where whispers and obscene thoughts mingle, where little bells and distortions come together, the inner voices are fleeing to the rules of harmony to awaken a darker sound, hidden and deprived, of those who have something to hide. Ritual deathscapes, obscure death industrial, sinful power electronics, this expanded reissue includes two bonus tracks, bringing the album to 46 minutes. Like the album as a whole, they are majestic, heavy and claustrophobic, perfectly complementing this already intense masterpiece.

Maximum Implosion collects all collaborative pieces between Zeni Geva (KK Null) and Steve Albini (Big Black/Shellac): "Nai-Ha" and "All Right, You Little B*st*rds!". Also included are bonus tracks from the limited 12" Superunit (1996), presented with meticulous CEDAR mastering by Denis Blackham. On the first disc, Zeni Geva present ultra-heavy Japanese noise rock, with sludgy riffs, thundering feedback, lumbering drums, subhuman bass crawl, and complex noise textures, with Null's trademark vocals and guitar accompanied by Albini's heavy guitar. "Nai-Ha" loosely translates to "broken inside", with the title track relaying the gruesome aftermath of a car accident. The second disc captures Zeni Geva and Albini's live-to-desk tracks from Tokyo & Osaka in 1992. Albini also makes vocal appearances, as well as guitar throughout. All production and mixing by Albini, final mastering by Martin Bowes at Cage Studios in England, and presented here in its complete form for the first time on Cold Spring. Original artwork/photo by Mitsushiro Hiruma and design/layout by Alonso Urbanos.

LP version. Includes download card. Cold Spring Records present the complete recording of A Slow Fade To Total Transparency. Recorded on August 24th, 1983 at the Air Gallery in London, UK. Personnel for the performance: John Balance (Coil), John Gosling (Zos Kia), Marc Almond (Soft Cell), and live mix by Peter Christopherson (Coil, Throbbing Gristle). Features: "How To Destroy Angels", the complete 23-minute piece; "How To Destroy Angels (Zos Kia Remix)", a nine-minute, unheard remix by John Gosling; and "Baptism Of Fire", an unreleased recording of Zos Kia/Coil at Recession Studios, London, England on October 12, 1983. Liner notes by Michel Faber (Under The Skin (2000), The Crimson Petal And The White). All audio, previously unreleased, has been remastered from the original tapes and is exclusive to this release.
Michel Faber: "Imagine how out-of-step with the dominant culture Coil were when they unveiled themselves in the Air Gallery to perform A Slow Fade To Total Transparency. Subtitled: How To Destroy Angels, the music -- a backing track prepared by John Balance, John Gosling and Peter Christopherson -- bears only scant resemblance to the How To Destroy Angels 12" that Coil would release as their debut vinyl the following year. Instead of the meditative ritual gongs of the 12", what we hear here is a restless, queasy melange of industrial noise, its eerie whistles the perfect backdrop for Marc Almond as he recites a bitter tirade against an ex-lover."
