Swarþ - Demo 2012 CS

Swarþ is a completely mysterious and unknown black metal band at the moment. There is no contact address, no credits nor pictures of the band anywhere on this release. The music is said to be improvised and the tracks have no names. I can say with confidence that none of that matters and the music is nothing short of stellar. The whole recording has a deathly aura and ancient imprint of something great and evil. Highly recommended.

Released in a hand numbered limited edition of 100 copies by Exitium Productions from the United Kingdom

Katechon - Demo 2012 CS

Hailing from Trondheim, Norway, Katechon plays raw and ancient METAL OF DEATH. Going so against the grain of what is currently the Norwegian scene, Katechon has a sound that is unique, but not without a few very valid comparisons to contemporary Swedish death metal bands like Kaamos or Ofermod. This band has a bright future and this tape definitely shows their way of crafting solid and intense death metal.

Released by Prostata Records from Norway.

Bismuth - The Eternal Marshes CS
Doom. Slow, and plodding is the way. Bismuth is a two piece, drum & bass demolition team from the United Kingdom. The minimal composition and instrumentation definitely gives a feeling of desolation and has marsh-like qualities in it’s bleak, meandering structures. Very high quality release inside and out. Every tape comes with a NICE screen printed logo patch.

Released by Tartarus Records from The Netherlands.

Back again with more choice additions to the store as well as some label related news.

Hellige - Demo 2012 CD

The newest demo from Argentina’s HELLIGE. This band has received praise and support from M/SI for some time now, as I’ve stocked one of their previous demo tapes and am happy to distribute their latest release.

Hellige continues in the direction established in their earlier recordings. Very cavernous and atmospheric riffing, still very reminiscent of Blut Aus Nord, yet with their own mark on this style of Black Metal. This demo comes to about 40 minutes of music and really showcases the band’s ability to write epic and eerie soundscapes.

Crawl - Mine Mail Not Shone the Light of Death CS

First official release from San Antonio, TX’s only one man band, CRAWL. This consists of only drums, bass and vocals. Crawl has to be seen to be believed. The low end attack and percussive violence is something I’ve only been able to compare to early SWANS recordings. Primal and stripped down, there really isn’t anything like Crawl in Texas, or anywhere for that matter.

M/SI-03 : Esclavo (TX) - Enslaved EP Cassette

-Released 3/22/12
-To preview: http://www.esclavotx.bandcamp.com

M/SI-04 : Wormlust (IS) - The Wormlust Collective
-I’m very proud to announce that I will be releasing a compilation album for one of Iceland’s most unique Black Metal entities. This will collect three of the band’s demos, Seven Paths (2009), Svarthol (2010) & The Opium Sleep (2011). The first two demos are hellish descents into corridors of madness, viewing windows to a wilderness of isolation and hauntingly beautiful passages of Black Metal. The last demo is an ambient piece to which listening is comparable to observing a pillar of freezing cold water moving just below you and the complete serenity of beholding oblivion before your eyes. An ESSENTIAL release for fans of truly atmospheric Black Metal.
-To be released 9/12

Absurdist - Illusory CD

A new band from San Antonio, TX, featuring members of The Faceless and Abhorrent.

Though the project is related to The Faceless and Abhorrent, this recording is nothing like either of those bands. Absurdist has managed to blend an array of influences as disparate as black metal and grindcore to bring a breathe of fresh air to the modern hardcore plane. The level of musicianship and songwriting is top-notch, as is the production which brings the material to a plateau unheard of for a band’s first release.

The Way to Light - That Place Now Forgotten CS
New solo project from Austin Rathmell, ex-Botfly. Don’t expect anything hardcore related here.

This is the first The Way to Light release. He has managed to record some of the most hauntingly beautiful tunes I’ve heard in a while. Truly a journey of introspection. This is a very well put together release and it amounts to about half an hour of acoustic guitar experimentation. Music to lay down and die to.

Dead in the Dirt - Void MCD

First 2010 release from Atlanta, GA’s Dead in the Dirt. Five tracks of pummeling metallic hardcore, grinding through seven minutes in what feels like two. They blend a variety of influences ranging from black metal to grindcore to create something fresh and original. This band definitely knows how to keep it interesting.

Dead in the Dirt - Fear 7”

Second release by Dead in the Dirt and their debut for the famous Southern Lord Records.

Continuing in the direction established by their previous MCD, although in a much uglier and dirty fashion. Very high quality package and presentation.

I’m also expecting another release from Hellige (ARG) to come into stock soon. It’s a CD release of their 2012 Demo recordings, you can hear them now at the band’s site. Another announcement will be made when they arrive.
