Check Out Dhusk

I was turned onto this from Demian over at dead formats, and I hope he doesn't mind my lifting some his words for the simple fact that they sold me on checking Dhusk out:

This is what I am always on the lookout for. Dark, bleak and hopeless... It's that sounds that feels like you are trapped in the belly of a hulking freighter as it slowly rumbles towards oblivion and all you can here are the distant sounds of the engine, crew and whatever hellish flotsam is smashing against the thick hull.

Check out the rest of his review here.





Listen below... order the cassette or the cassette +CDr (which contains an unedited version of the second side of the tape) here; but as always, these are limited to 20 copies and there are definitely less than that available at this point.

Next up is a reissue of Sexless Merit from Cremation Lily, this time as a single cassette instead of the 3xCS goodness in the prior "pressing". These went in less than 6 hours last time it seemed, so if you want this tape... ORDER IMMEDIATELY. Personally, this is great noise that I cannot recommend enough.

raw electronics, industrial noise, claustrophobic voice, decaying analog rhythm. lo-fi solace. single cassette version of previously sold out 3xcs.

RULE-006.

Listen to another record from BadLife below.

New Iroha!

Denovali is releasing a 10" for Iroha very soon.

Four new songs from this great project! Vinyl has heavy covers, black inner sleeves, comes with a free mp3 download code. 100 pieces on clear vinyl w/ grey haze, 200 pieces on black vinyl.

After a collaboration record with FRAGMENT. from France and the S/T debut full
length, THE END OF AN ERA constitutes the third release of IROHA – the new
project consisting of Andy Swan (FINAL), Diarmuid Dalton (GODFLESH, JESU) and
Dominic Crane (THE BOATY MAN, RUMBLE FISH). The 4 tracks (with a total playing
time of 25 minutes) express their love to shoegaze just as much as their
interest in the sound of new wave acts like NEW ORDER – all this mixed with a
metal orientated sound basis and little ambient influences. Iroha have a great
feeling for melodies and know how to combine them with powerful sound elements
to create a fuzzy warm mood in every new track.

Order here for black and here for the clear with grey haze.
