STRANGE RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange Rules has gone on a maniacal spree today... grab these quick or miss out.

Check them all out here. Read below for more details, but they might be sold out by the time you get to the bottom (not joking).

RULE 22: Curative Measures

The latest from Curative Measures... Corrective Heterosexual Rape is the second tape for Strange Rules by this project, and the first was aces. Limited to 40 copies... grab it quick

long tape of power electronics and death noise statements from this underground unit operating from the opposite sides of britain. crude feedback, deep synth oppression and vocal commands dealing with the steps taken in some cultures to correct certain sexual practices.

RULE 21: Council Of Europa

Bound '88 from Council Of Europa... new to the Strange Rules family, limited to 44 copies... grab it here.

cold, mechanical and layered melodic industrial in true council estate spirit - depressed & straight forward. only forged from british steel for the few and the restless.

RULE 20: Heather !

Grey Moment from Heather... limited to just 33 copies

solo work of artist previously known from euro male/female collaboration 'deflowered heather.' short demonstration of low-tech industrial drum machine, keyboard and noise artifacts with a similar feel to some grey wolves material.

Deflowered Heather was an awesome tape from Strange Rules. I can't wait to hear this one.

RULE 19: Cremation Lily & False Moniker

The latest from Cremation Lily and False Moniker... two great projects... one tape! Just 60 copies... so grab it now

churning industrial power/noise. purity in density, escape in confinement, britain meets europe. a true collaboration in sound & design.

RULE 18: RVH!

Another from Strange Rules...

Worlds Without Time tape from RVH, limited to just 45 copies.

industrial transmissions from deep space. a complex, pulsing artifact of warped synths, shuddering noise and deep atmosphere honed with european precision. highest recommendation.

RULE 17: Deterge!

Strange Rules Offers us Substrate Catalyzation from Deterge (Tape... limited to 60)

negative chemistry electronics from jim haras. total industrial atmosphere and unquestionable power.

It Is Time To Hear From STRANGE RULES!

Yes folks, it is that time again... STRANGE RULES returns with two new cassette tapes to dominate our tape decks.

The first is the Cremation Lily / Natural Assembly split cassette tape.

Here is their take:

vacant life, nothing personable, nothing indulgent. a dull red light between the cracks of aridity gives away the existence of the other side. dark melodic industrial from natural assembly + synth-drowned industrial

Limited to just 50 copies. Go get it from STRANGE RULES

...or forever whine about how you missed out... because it probably will not last more than a day.

The second tape comes from Venus Receiver and is called Madame Violet Continuing Mission. Limited to 29 copies, this tape will also probably disappear in a day or two.

absolutely damaged noise assault. full analog, no gratification
