Design, layout and artwork by Stephen O'Malley of SunnO))) packaged in a custom made book bound gatefold CD and DLP case. The first 500 copies include the bonus album 'Abhijňâ'

Welcome to the Thunderdome. Troum’s bone-cracking reverberations respirate with such ferocity that all non-Troum molecules are blown away. Eald-Ge-Streon is a massive, rising beauty. It is a great becoming, and we are nothing but an ant in the afterbirth. Troum has set its controls beyond the heart of the Sunn. The pulsating inferno of these 7 drone concertos may require an insurance adjuster, but what a lovely way to burn. It is in your nature to do one thing correctly. Before Troum, you rightly tremble. But fear is not what you owe Troum. You owe Troum awe!

Sorc'henn - Harmonium Pieces and Dead Reveries (2007)

Sorc'henn are emerging as one of the more interesting and unique entities in the drone/dark ambient underground. They create dreamy, organic sounding drones and loops, this is their first full-length that was released in a very limited quantity of CDrs. This one's quite simple and lo-fi, however enjoyable all the same.

Label: Faunasabbatha

1 Toulgoat
2 Took their rise in funeral games
3 Kergoat ar lem
4 Heathendom
5 Where does the breath of the dead pianist come from?
6 Grand-Harmonium du diable
7 Huelgoat and the droning stones

Rome - To Die Among Strangers (EP) [2009]

1 To Die Among Strangers (4:14)
2 Reversion (Edit) (4:45)
3 Wir Götter Der Stadt (Edit) (5:16)
4 Mourir A Madrid (9:15)

News from the orchards of ROME. With their works inspired by expressionist literature and the feeling of departure of the early 20th Century, ROME has made quite a name for itself in the european underground.

Within only 3 years ROME have released their debut EP and three full-length albums. ROME’s music is steeped in melancholy, loss and despair and a sacred solitude that is defined by the detachment from all political and religious systems.

As a teaser to the upcoming album ROME now announces the release of the EP „To Die Among Strangers“, limited to 999 copies and sold only via mailorders. The EP features a single from the album, the remixes of two classic ROME tracks „Reversion“ und „Wir Götter der Stadt“ and an exclusive dark ambient track which perfectly evokes the theme of exile so characteristical of the upcoming album.

ROME proves yet again that they have created a unique brand of apocalyptic folk with subtle lyrics, a haunting voice, melodic guitar work and a sound coming from the nebulous depths of European history.

" I am the first to admit that the MP3 format is not the best way to enjoy
this music, but I have worked with the mastering quite hard to make the
files sound as good as possible, even though they are compressed.

Spread it as much as you want - seed, copy, burn etc... sharing is caring.

I will not go in to a long rant about free internet and piracy, but to sum
it up:
Support what is good and worth supporting (small independent labels are
always good and should be encouraged and supported).
Put pressure on the system to make it better.

appreciation, please go to www.nordvargr.com and find the contact info.

Celer - Discourses of The Withered [2008]

1.This Thinking Globe Exploding (14:19)
2.The Carved God Is Gone; Waking Above The Pileus Clouds(12:51)
3.Stargazing Lily Lacks The Flower (10:55)
4.A Crush, A Hero-Worship & Hyperrealism (5:51)
5.The Separation Of The Two-Phased Apple Blossoms (8:50)
6.Delaying The Entropy; In Emptiness, Forms Are Born (14:26)

Celer is a husband (Will) and wife (Danielle) duo from California that use a variety of strings as the basis for their sound. Cello, viola, violin and the sounds are mixed in with field recordings, choir. live theremin and then tape spliced and re-assembled in varying lengths to create a loop base. Those sounds are then sampled, layered and processed. The result is a shimmering orchestra. Periods of silence between the notes only enhance the sound. Though at times very haunting, it's brightly hazy ambient. Initially "Discourses..." was to be 1 full-length CD with a bonus CDR ("The Everything and the Nothing") to accompany the first 100 copies. When Celer presented the bonus material, with field recordings mixed in obtained by Danielle over several months in India, the quality of the material was so high that it was suggested and agreed to instead be a concurrent release of two full-length discs. Edition of 500.

A Wake A Week - Little Black Cloud [2009]

1 Home (4:54)
2 Little Black Cloud (4:12)
3 I'm Always Writing Endings (3:38)
4 Your Rain Isn't My Rain (3:23)
5 Leaves (4:03)

8 Beginnings And Endings (5:47)
9 Waking (2:41)
10 A Wake A Week (6:09)

A Wake A Week...do we never tire of these endless reruns of our grief? With this debut release from his new project, Dave Dando-Moore (Detritus) offers us an intensely composed symphony of unending sorrow. If Detritus is the debris of emotion, A Wake A Week is the tar-black residue still clinging like a parasite, clawing away at old wounds. Like ashes on celluloid, Little Black Cloud opens up a widescreen vista of sound, albeit sullied and decaying. Eschewing the polish and sterility that digital production can entail, the album embodies the crackle and spark of embers of a once-consuming fire, giving us an album that feels organic and alive. From the opening waves of House, the listener will submerged in cascades of suffocating, drowning synthesis. Capturing the very essence of heartache, each rumble and pulse pulls us deeper into a heart of darkness. Yet, there is beauty and hope shattering through this black firmament. Opening up the the instrumentation to such diverse timbres as neo-classical pianos, tranquilized guitar and the perfumed atmospherics of ethnic vocals, expectant warmth rises through the swathes of oppressive intensity. No artistic hubris is attempted here. This is as raw, open and confessional as music can get. Drawing comparisons with Max Richter, Deaf Center, Johann Johannsson and The Protagonist, A Wake A Wake will evoke cathartic exorcisms of woe in even the most glacial of hearts.
