Tainted Corrosive Mist is a one-man-drone'n'noise-project from Saarbrücken, Germany. This is his first release on Collapsing Corridors Records and is an extended, dynamic and roaring wall of noise which builds slowly before taking your head off! This shit is pretty harsh, and definitely stomach-churning.

Dead Fortress - Dead Fortress Demo (2013) [CSR007]

This is Dead Fortress' first demo release, and it is the 7th album to be released on my underground net-label, Clouded Sky Recordings. A perfected mixture of Dark Ambient, Death Industrial and noisy Drone, with a strong hint of Despair, Isolation, Urban Decay, and a cold Industrial vibe. Very well-fitting for Winter, Funerals, Cemeteries, and abandoned, frosty environments.

Owen Davis/ObsKure - Lost In A Nightmare (2013) [CSR006]

Dark Ambient/Noise & Drone split between Owen Davis, & ObsKure. First released on CDr, on Depressive Illusions Records; limited to 33 copies. Then on Smell The Stench, & Palemoon Productions in a limited edition of 50 copies. Now released on net; this is the 6th release to be released on my underground-based net-label, Clouded Sky Recordings.

OWEN DAVIS:

I.) THE GRINNING MAN

A low-fi ambient electronic drone with the sound of
some distant machine churning in the distance dancing
between harshness and ambience. Intensifying as the track
progresses. Theres an overall cold industrial vibe to this.
Industrial as in machinery not Industrial as in a genre.
The Owen Davis contribution to this split clocks in at
5:21. Ending with low frequency pulses and then fading
into nothingness.

OBSKURE:

II.) REBIRTH OF PARADISE

Dark Ambience crawls in as semi-harsh noize floats in
and out sounding like a buzz-saw or some unknown device
of torture. Machines blow steam as the ambience drifts on.
Deep Sub-Bass sounds begin to rumble from somewhere below. This still has an overall low-fi tone but not quite the
same as the Owen Davis track. For a song called Rebirth of
Paradise it sounds more like the soundtrack to some Nightmare
or Horror film. Deep tones resonate within the thick ambient
pieces. Some looming unseen terror lurking in the depths.
Almost like the music you would expect to hear in some
paranormal investigation documentary. If this is Paradise
then Obskure must lurk in a private Hell. A few final bursts
of mechanical steam and the track ends at exactly 9:00

III.) FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

A piercing ringing drones on into as the title says "the unknown".
Harsh low static rears it's face (Or lack of) as the ringing bell
like tone still sounds.Unknown sounds whirl through the speakers
w/ a sort of sub-terainian feel to them. You can almost make out
voices whispering or chanting, Perhaps there is some form of life
in this cold soundscape. Or something dead and lurking. Again as the
title says; "Unknown". Static and "voices" have overwhelmed the ringing drone but it is still heard like a pulse weaving everything together. It sounds like whatever is "speaking" is becoming more active by the second. What that means is as before still "Unknown". Right before we find out it ceases as suddenly as it came leaving only static noize ending at 10:28

IV.) ISOLATED INSIDE

Tides rise and somewhat hi-pitched synths rise from the tides or perhaps winds. Sharp noize penetrates and crackles.What the artist was isolated inside I know not but it seems to be a dark domain. Harsh distorted noize like a blow torch replaces the tides/winds and the sinister synth remains beneath it. All the tracks on this E.P. fit the album title "Lost in a Nightmare" as you never know just where you are when listening to them. Isolated Inside ends abruptly at 6:22 bringing this audio nightmare to a close.

DATA SNOW - REFLECTIONS (2013)

Small minimal sonic textures made with layers of blurred noises and frequencies.

Nagasaki Grotesque - Sonnenrad I (KYR Productions)

 1. Worm-Infested  11:51

2. White Fragment  4:55

3. Aberration Of Sunlight  25:15

4. Nagasaki Grotesque  11:36

5. Demoniac Earth  11:40

This is unfortunately one out of SEVERAL of the only releases that I can find of this artist on the internet. It's actually quite sad because Nagasaki Grotesque's work is beyond anything I've ever heard; the project is very unique in its own ways and aspect, yet at the same time, extremely somber, pessimistic, and despairing. Take a trip and become submerged into what it truly sounds like to be trapped inside the disturbed mind of a daring psychopath, a cynical misanthrope; a tormented individual who has long been alienated from the outside world and everyday society.

For those of us out there who are indeed a fan of experimental music with discordant and oppressed atmospheres, I recommend that you take a listen to this, as it's in fact, one of the first albums that got me into noise and the entire underground scene.

I love this guy's stuff so much!

*NOTES* Due to fucking mediafire deleting the upload of Macronympha's sex/death, giving me a strike, and threatening to delete everything that I have spent countless time uploading, I now feel like I should denounce that site. So I will now not be uploading stuff released on "major" labels without the artist's permission.

Nubilum - Restless Sunrise

1. Restless Sea

2. Endless Sunrise

Ok let's be honest, even though this "album" or "single" (whatever you want to classify it as) is only two songs, it still is a fucking amazing trip. This album takes us deep underwater, into the very darkness that we know is the bottom of the ocean, but there's more than that. In the midst, we can see a small light wavering back and forth with the tides of the sea. Almost as if it is calling out, but cannot be heard.That light is you. 

The music is a perfect blend of Experimental Dark Ambient music and atmospheric Dub Techno. It is available on the artist's bandcamp page. I am actually very thankful that the artist of this extraordinary piece sent me a link to his page via email. Believe me, I love getting these submissions so don't be afraid guys and girls to send me one! Don't be.

Original Description from Heavy Electronics: 

Muskel is a new project put out by the ever-prolific Swedish noise master Henrik Nordvargr Björkk. Muskel is release by Black Plagve. Black Plagve in turn is a mutation of Malignant Records of Baltimore, Maryland. Muskel – Seven Days of Pain is marketed as a no frills noise album. No references to dark ambient or neoclassical musings apply here. Muskel is pure unadulterated hardcore old school noise. Complete with ear shredding sirens, white noise walls of sound and angst filled vocalist that voices our collective rage.

Muskel Begins with a track titled “Spoonfed entrails.” The song begins somewhat subdued and atmospheric. Reverberating drones form the foundation of the song as they putter out a steady throbbing bass. A shrill siren joins the music as it slides between tones. It is unnerving and piercing in its volume and is acoustically in contrast with the reverberating bass. A lengthy interlude is spent tweaking the piercing siren. Noise finally begins to dominate as the reverberating bass and piercing siren are fully engulfed in a sonic tornado of white noise and distorted vocals. The effect is a slow build up into a full on noise attack.

The fourth song on the album is tilted “For Syftet Amnad.” This song makes the intro sound like a strumming guitar ballad. Harsh noise is unleashed on the listener from the get go. The music is slightly rhythmic with a monotonous pulsing core. Harsh screeching noise is shot across the foundation of the rumbling bass and throbbing drones. Pounding metal sounds cascade over the torrent of noise in an over the top assault that deafens the listener. Akin to a 747 crashing across a runway in flames after a failed landing. The sound of screeching noise and rumbling bass is relentless and domineering.

The sixth song on the album is titled “Scars.” “Scars” stands out in representing a more harnessed sound. The sounds are more muffled and submissive. The effect is one of a snarling badger that is being forced into compliance. Feelings of festering rage and emotions that cannot be contained are invoked in the listener. The music is expertly manipulated to allow key elements to break free and lash out against the heavy handed control. I found this song much more interesting than the previous assaults of noise. A sense of aiming for something new and unique was communicated by the composition. Nevertheless, do not worry just as you are collecting your shattered nerves Muskel releases his battle cry in all it ferocity. Nothing is spared in the ensuing onslaught of distortion and musical blood lust.

Fans of noise and Radical Faeries who follow the work of Henrik Nordvargr Björkk will definitely want this release to complete your collection. It is a great up front noise album. It is not quite at the point of pushing the envelope. I would consider the release more of an exploration of the established noise terrain. The benefits of the music lay within the nuances and deeply imbedded manipulations found in the music. If you are equipped mentally to handle being hammered by noise while you follow the undercurrents of the music then you will get something out of Muskel. If the idea of noise and its manipulation does appeal then of course you might want to pass and look towards some Malignant Records releases that are more accessible for noise novices. Perhaps such novice Faeries would be more comfortable pursuing other Malignant artists such as Navicon Torture Technologies or Jarl.

As far as ritual and spiritual work goes, there could be many options for this album. Perhaps used as a psychic expellant or for mental endurance exercises. In the hands of the wicked, this music could easily be played to drive out demons like your neighbor or *censored*y roommate! Remember when you play Muskel play it loud and without mercy!

Snuff - Untitled (2009) (FILTH-13 - Filth And Violence)

A - Phone

B - Kristiina 

C - Metro

D - Stalker

Another bastard item from HE. This time, the filth is literally palpable, while the noise and the horrific release itself however, is just all the more sickening. I don't know which one by comparison is more disgusting. Pleasure  Fluid's SHOW NO MERCY which comes with ripped panties soaked in dirt, blood, urine, and sperm, or this album which is packaged with lubricants and a used condom filled with SPERM and BLOOD. Not only that, but the package the black chrome tapes comes in is smeared with menstruation blood. You decide. I won't be the one who has to sign your waiver. Good Ol' PE from Finland. TY Filth and Violence!

REVIEW BY ZeroBeat (March 26, 2009) (Rated 5 Stars):

This shit is rotten to the core. The tapes are packaged in a sealed black plastic bag which contains a blood smeared hard plastic case which holds the tapes. The package smells like menstrual blood, which it might be. The music itself is lo-fi filth. A concept album based on the 2001 murder of a Lithuanian prostitute in Helsinki. Phone is all brooding shit electronics and warped, sadistic laughter dragging endlessly for 16 minutes. Kristiina and Metro both feature delayed hateful vocals on top of a vicious onslaught of metal abuse and feedback screech. It sounds so candid and convincing I'd be willing to believe it's the murderer himself. Very abuse and very basic. Stalker may be my favorite track. Starting with heavy panting, soon a harsh synth destruction begins and continues for 20+ minutes. Slow modulations and static give the song a sort of trance-inducing quality. Basically a reflection on the previous nihilistic violence and an unsettling end to an excellent release. I hope to hear more like this from SNUFF and the Filth and Violence crew.

Original Description from HE: 

There’s not a lot of information on this nasty little project, although with a brief search and with my not-so-Sherlock-Holmes deductive skills, it’s fairly simple to figure out those involved. And like most of the PE and Noise emanating from the Finns, you can expect only top quality sickness. This untitled release is the sophomore effort of the project, and it revolves around the 2001 slaying of a Lithuanian prostitute in Helsinki. I told you this would be fun.

Side A of tape one begins with “Phone”, varying tones of raw feedback, some garbled voices that sounds like it could be a taped phone conversation and hiss are pretty much all the track consists of. But the way the feed twists and writhes, it reminds me of the dial tone of a receiver knocked off the base and at 16+ minutes, it’s definitely an endurance test. “Kristina” takes up Side B, lo-fi pedal noise, intermittent feedback and some flanged crunch accompany some vber aggressive vocals that make excellent use of delay.

Side C consists of “Metro” and has more lo-fi filth, but with what sounds like a field recording of females chatting away on a bus ride. I can hear the motor slowing and accelerating, hence the title? At one point the girls laugh and make idle talk, then out of nowhere a blood curdling scream, but the females never miss a beat. It gave me the impression of the twisted mind of the killer as he stalks his prey. The track progresses much along the same lines as the previous one with the same delayed vocals and shit-smeared electronics with some definite heavy crunch in the last few minutes. Side D’s “Stalker” is the perfect ending, the track begins with around two minutes of heavy breathing before anything else happens. Then some abrasive loop (sampled scream or synth, I can’t tell) is added over it and those two sounds repeat over and over for almost 30 minutes until I wanted to kill a prostitute myself.

Contributing as much to the sickness of the sounds within, the traditional F&V Xeroxed art damage insert and j-cards, the two chrome tapes with polybox shells come housed in a sealable black plastic box that was smeared with fuck knows what. There was a packet of lubricant inside, so that’s my hope. Also included in the box, a used condom full of sperm and blood…take that Black Metal bands. I’ll see your “hand numbered in blood” releases and raise you a man-juice. Yes, luckily I read before hand that there was a special prize inside, so I knew to handle with much care. The whole thing is fitted inside a black medical style ziplock bag. This one is limited to only 60 copies, but that’s a lot of spunk and blood.

Here's some more stuff originally from HEAVY Electronics and boy does it pack a punch!  I'm going to include an emphasis on HEAVY, because that's exactly what this album is. Maybe more or so. Still a brilliant mixture of Harsh noise and Power Electronics from the US. For any of those who are a fan of Whitehouse and Abuse Patterns (like myself), you are in for a insane, and delicious treat. Comes packaged with a CDr containing all 9 songs, a cassette, a 24-page booklet, all housed in a 5" x 5" reel-to-reel box.

This is truly unlike any Dark Ambient music that I've ever heard. Goverment's sound and nature are absolutely fantastic and unique to its name. Originally released under "Moth Equals" (as you can tell by the album art, (shown below) which was also used for the original release), A Sinister Project goes far beyond the fear and beauty of Life and Death. It has that extraordinary Silent Hill atmosphere to it, and as well as that creepy feeling of wanting to take a shower after the listening stage, but it is still a pleasure to the ears. Either way, this shit is gold.

Mick Harris truly delivers on this one. His song Echoed Currents is like reliving your creepiest nightmares while being lost in a dark and forbidding snow-covered forest. It can also be found on the Box version of his compilation, Collected. 

*REVIEWS* 

1. Review by bonnicon (May 31st, 2012)

LULL - MICK HARRIS's dark Isolationist project uses the canvas of a vinyl single to great effect - adapting his album-hugging sound quite effectively. This is typical of LULL - whining tones like electronic didgeridoo wash over you in waves while behemoth peristalsis echoes from out of the depths. Passive yet blackly chilling, "Echoed Currents" invites you to sleep in regions where you wouldn't even risk closing your eyes. KAZUYUKI K. NULL dusts down his razor-wire-and-needles guitar for a quiet night in the studio. The waves of raw white metal sound whip across the ears like cruel barbs across soft warm naked flesh, flaying and rending the air with it's regardless nerve-piercing shards of pure noise.
