2019 release. Impressions of eternity. A modern voice for an ancient messenger. The delicate balance of warm wood, cold stone, and steel. These are some of the sonic flashes imparted on the listener of The Hollow In The Stone, the third album from the Texas-based neofolk/post-industrial band Awen. Led by the stentorian voice of Erin Powell, sustained by the dulcet tones of Katrin X, and propelled by the delicate guitar work of Wes Radvansky, the album pushes and pulls in measures through avenues of melancholy and moments of horror, forcing the listener to become an active participant on the journey. Archaic actions leave palpable impressions -- The Hollow In The Stone. Featuring guest appearances from Jerome Reuter (Rome), b9 InVid (Et Nihil, Luftwaffe, The Muskets), and Greg Elliott (Dying And Rising). Clear 180 gram vinyl; reverse board printed cover; color printed inner sleeve with lyrics; includes CD.

2020 release. Ostara's eight album, Eclipse of the West, is an uncompromising confrontation with the Zeitgeist, brimming from start to end with a sense of tragic urgency. Inspired by the Sturm und Drang movement, singer songwriter, Richard Leviathan, weaves a barbed thread through the centuries, from the battle cry of the Norse god Wieland to the contemporary echoes of failed utopias, mass narcissism, the loss of love, and the death of hope. This is an album for the times, a bleak yet stirring harbinger of a dark new decade. Solar gold 180 gram vinyl; reverse board printed cover; includes color printed inner sleeve with lyrics; includes CD; includes postcard.

2013 release. Songs are like open wounds. Music can hurt. Can strike new wounds and tear up old ones. No one is more aware of this than Simone "Hellvis" Salvatori. His feverish music is a diary of his failures and triumphs, a deep scar running through his work. He finds pleasure in the pain it causes him, sheds tears for the lust it evokes in him. Like an Italian Johnny Cash, he clads his life in intimate ballads of becoming and withering, of sex and death. Spiritual Front is the folk noir crossbreed of Ennio Morricone and Nick Cave -- suicide pop from a decadent otherworld. Where secret passions are whispered into darkness, where dream and waking, intoxication and hangover dance closely, Open Wounds feels at home: Morbid mafia folklore for hedonistic self-destructors, murder ballads for decadent lotus-eaters. Like a heavy red wine, Spiritual Front's music gets better and better over the years -- ever more exhilarating, ever more effective. As if Simone Salvatori had to reach a certain age to understand his music properly. As if he had to accept that living means suffering. Now, the erotic enchantment of his masterpiece Armageddon Gigolo is back. On Open Wounds, it mates with delicate prowess and baffling arrangements that would invoke envy in every mafia orchestra. Sacred profoundness turns to sweaty sheets when Simone Salvatori sings for his soul, when he trembles, hope, loves, suffers and lives. The machismo and his guitar, joined by the orchestra -- Open Wounds is the epitome of suicide pop. Sexy to the brim, sensual even in the face of certain death, full of whipping urgency. To this, the bonus CD comes as a sharply accentuated contrast, uniting instrumentals, alternate versions and stunning reworks: A calm and very moody view into the artistic life of this abyssic gigolo. This second album is like the cuddling after the all-consuming act of love that is Open Wounds -- and Spiritual Front is the lover that disappears before dawn. Only a dream? The wounds tell a different story. Double-CD in book format (appr. 14x21 cm); bonus-CD includes 11 tracks; hardback book with elaborate thread stitching; 40-pages extra-booklet, art print on high-quality paper.

2010 release. The "armageddon gigolo" is back: after the succinctly titled first album for Trisol, on Rotten Roma Casino, the charismatic Italian heartbreaker Simone Salvatori's band once again define that which they have shaped like no other: "suicide pop". That is to say: melancholy melodies, stirring guitar chords, emotional vocals, and yearning string passages, but also solid-groove beats and macabre phrases. Just as the recipe was fully finalized on Armageddon Gigolo (2006), which defined the genre single-handedly, Rotten Roma Casino goes a decisive step further. They once more summoned together the proven ensemble featuring chamber musicians associated with Ennio Morricone and created a whole series of musical gems which you can't get out of your head after just a single hearing. As per the title, it's about Rome -- a metaphorical, decadent Rome however, a parallel to the Roma of Fellini, full of wonder, monstrosities, and passions. They pay homage to the orgiastic, wild, and ambiguous in such a way, particularly on the intense video clips which are featured on the bonus DVD, as to conjure up the immortal spirit of Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The doleful "Sad Almost A Winner" orientates itself towards his homoerotic melodrama, Fox and his Friends, while the clip for "Darkroom Friendship" pays homage to the promiscuous bisexual passion of frontman, Salvatori. Salvatori acknowledges that without Fassbinder's controversial "sex and death" drama Querelle, he probably wouldn't have founded Spiritual Front. To all this are added harmonies which seem to derive from the legendary creators of film music, Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota. Spiritual Front carries their unmistakable Italian spirit into the post-modern. With Rotten Roma Casino, Spiritual Front consciously shake off their underground roots in order to invent their own unique variety of morbid folk-pop which blends indie rock, acoustic chords and tango into a new, intense and above all heartrending, genuine mixture. It is still Elvis Presley's libertine little brother: Hellvis. With auratic timbre in his voice, he once again sings about the impossibility of love and the pain which it leaves behind. Rotten Roma Casino is a fresh and original but at the same time mature and majestic musical work, without compromise but yet catchy; slightly sweet but yet disturbing. CD plus DVD in eight-panel digipak; DVD is Stereo 2.0, PAL, 4:3, All Regions; includes special Leporello fold booklet with precious art print on high-quality paper including lyrics and exclusive photos; also includes fold-out poster.

2019 release. Capitalism is war. Capitalism is cannibalism. Western society is devouring itself, just as it previously devoured other societies. This realization brings anger, and demands an answer. Simone Salvatori (the Spiritual Front mastermind) brings this fury to us. With his martial post-industrial pop project The Lust Syndicate, he destroys all we came to trust, infecting our imaginary idylls forever. Capitalism is Cannibalism is the title of his first work with The Lust Syndicate, and the aggressive course pursued by the death-fixated cover, which is full of weapons, skulls, and dildos, is an effortless and perfect fit for the tracks collected here. The album is made up of critical and downright politically provocative statements, and surprises not only with its clearly defined theses on the present day, but also with some well-known guests: Michael de Victor from the neofolk band While Angels Watch, the Italian genre actor Mark Thompson Ashworth, the American occultist Paul Smalley, Gary Carey (Joy Of Life), Sean Ragon (Cult Of Youth), Erin Powell (Awen), and Caroline Jago (Sol Invictus) all appear here, positioning the album in a European post-industrial tradition. Salvatori's countless appearances with the cult figures of neofolk over the last two decades (including Death In June and King Dude) have left clear traces. But The Lust Syndicate has more to offer than accusation -- driving percussion, melodic fragments, and gut-wrenching noise. With its tribal metallic beats, the song "Deserted Future" is reminiscent of Australian industrial pioneers, SPK. But Hunting Lodge also come to mind, with their driving "Tribal Warning Shot", as do Test Dept., whose accusatory agitation shines through again and again (such as on "United States of Slavery"). But Simone Salvatori is known for the suicide pop of Spiritual Front, which on this album he dresses up to be variously colder or more electronic. The vocals in "Utopia as Violence" and "Death Moves Towards Us" are indeed reminiscent of electro-pop legends Depeche Mode. Once you've heard The Lust Syndicate, there's no escape. Simone Salvatori's new project gives our powerlessness a voice and calls for a revolt. White 180 gram vinyl; reverse board printed cover sleeve; includes color inner sleeve with lyrics; included CD contains six bonus tracks.

2017 release. The first-time vinyl release of this small collection of three rare songs by Nature And Organisation, "A Dozen Winters Of Loneliness", "Hooves", and "To You". This beautiful edition contains in particular an anthemic song by the band which has become a true classic in this post industrial/dark folk genre, the truly influential masterpiece, "A Dozen Winters Of Loneliness". Formed in 1983 by iconic English artist, musician and composer Michael Cashmore, Nature And Organisation utilized a mix of acoustic instruments, surreal sound collage, cut-up super 8mm film and tape loops to create a sound that would later be regarded as influential in the genre of post-industrial music. In the mid-80s Cashmore came into contact with David Tibet (ex-Psychic TV) of the group Current 93, which he later joined in 1990. For the next 20 years Cashmore wrote almost exclusively all of the music for the group including the seminal albums Of Ruine Or Some Blazing Starre, Sleep Has His House, Soft Black Stars, and Thunder Perfect Mind. Not only is he responsible for influential songs like "A Sadness Song", "Whilst The Night Rejoices Profound And Still", or "The Bloodbells Chime" that are long considered classic of the progressive folk and industrial genre, he moreover has written music for British wave legend Marc Almond (Soft Cell) and avant-garde sensation Anohni (Antony & The Johnsons). An artist renowned for his eclectic work and poignant nature, Cashmore is revered by music lovers as one of Britain's most influential and inspiring composers. This is an essential release for fans of Nature And Organisation of these very rare and hard to find pieces by this extraordinary band. Magenta, 180 gram vinyl; printed inner sleeve.

A dark melancholic gem, somewhere between the heavy atmosphere of Rome's Nera, Coil's Moon's Milk phase, Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson's hypnotic film music-like moments and driving post-punk -- yet always bearing the unmistakable hallmark of Michael Cashmore. This release of Vukovar's album Monument sees their first collaboration with iconic English artist, musician and composer Michael Cashmore (Current 93, Nature And Organisation), to turn the three shades of Vukovar into four; a marriage made in purgatory. This album reflects a Wonderland gone sour, fragile music box chimes collide with shards of harsh noise, motorik rhythms brood menacingly beneath lush synthetic textures and angelic voices that contort them into contempt in these incredible recordings. Cashmore is revered by music lovers as one of Britain's most influential and inspiring composers. In the mid-80s Cashmore came into contact with David Tibet (ex-Psychic TV) of the group CURRENT 93, which he later joined in 1990. For the next 20 years Cashmore wrote almost exclusively all of the music for the group including the seminal albums Of Ruine Or Some Blazing Starre, Sleep Has His House, Soft Black Stars, and Thunder Perfect Mind. Not only is he responsible for influential songs like "A Sadness Song", "Whilst The Night Rejoices Profound And Still", and "The Bloodbells Chime" which are long considered classics in the progressive folk and industrial genre, he also has written music for British wave legend Marc Almond (Soft Cell) and avant-garde sensation Anohni (Antony & The Johnsons). An artist renowned for his eclectic work and poignant nature of his music, Cashmore has also collaborated with the likes of Nick Cave, Bill Fay, Tony Visconti, and many more. Vukovar formed in 2014 in a crumbling place filler town in the North West of England and set about creating their own world within an otherworld. In their short yet eternal time, they have been relentlessly productive; Monument being the sixth full LP after their highly well-received previous five. Includes CD. Magenta, 180 gram vinyl; gatefold sleeve; printed inner sleeves.

This recording shows Cashmore taking a brave new step in his music and reflects a personal transformation within himself.
