006/ Dusthallowed

Creepy blackened ambient doom that sounds unlike anything you've ever heard before... Perfect soundtrack to the Halloween season (or, as the case may be, to hurling yourself into the maw of a carnivorous eclipse).

005/ There Are No Brakes.

Another friend of mine seems to be really struggling with suicidal depression and all I can do is shoot him emails from 3000 miles away encouraging him to funnel the negativity into music and keep fighting the good fight.

Been trying to keep in touch on the regular, asking whats up and kicking him links to cool shit on Bandcamp, but his responses have been fewer and further between. Days into weeks. Weeks into months. Months into years. Eventually they'll stop altogether.

It's brutal when you see the wall coming and it feels like there's nothing you can do to keep from hitting it.

004/ Cassilda

Hoo boy, if you ever find yourself in a place and this shit starts playing in the background get the fuck out of there because you're clearly in a 60's/ 70's era supernatural horror film and something BAD is about to happen.

As grainy and desolate as anything else I've checked out from the label, and thus highly recommended.

003/ The Projection of the Astral Body

More utterly ghoulish no-fi death ambience from the same label as that Magic Find tape, this time from a project called The Projection of the Astral Body that sounds a bit like Atrax Morgue or Subklinik if they had pulled a nosedive into turn of the century Spiritualism and recorded exclusively to wax cylinder.

For whatever it may be worth to anyone: I think this all these Attic Shrines tapes are pure gold and "Death is Merely a Permanent Projection" has gotta be one of the creepiest song titles I've ever fucking heard.

002/ Magic Find

Creepazoid dark ambient masquerading as dungeon synth wrapped in "production" so completely fucked up and lo-fi sounding that it almost borders on harsh noise in places.

Wound up really enjoying this tape... Definitely one to spin at your next seance.

001// Manifestation

Well, I took the summer off writing, but here we are again.

The plan is for this new site to be equal parts journal, webzine, and headquarters for our new label, but who knows how long I'll manage to keep that ball rolling.

Gonna stick with blogger for now because it's free and probably the least hideous to look at of all the options currently available to me.
