New releases from Malignant Records

It has been a while since last update but we are alive and active! There’s a lot of news coming soon, for now check out these new releases from Malignant Records!

Funerary Call – Nightside Emanations

First created in 1994, Funerary Call has established itself as one of the premier purveyors of archaic black atmospheres. With Nightside Emanations, Funerary Call presents his most organic and purely ritual experiences… 8 tracks that spiral into darkness, led by the ceremonial fire rite of the opening track, then descending into even blacker, more ominous realms as the CD progresses.

Hall Of Mirrors – Altered Nights

3rd CD from the acclaimed dark ambient collaboration between Andrea Marutti (Amon, Never Known) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh). Features contributions from Vestigial, New Risen Throne, and Pietro Riparbelli / K11, among others. A must for fans of Troum, Terra Sancta, early Zoviet France, and of course all related Andrea Marutti projects.

Kristoffer Nystroms Orkester – Overlook Hotel

The return of the mighty KNO, the collaborative project between Swedish industrial legend Peter Nystrom (Megaptera, Negru Voda), and Norwegian up and comer Kristoffer Oustad (V:28, Plague Machinery).

Linekraft – Bouryoku Kikai

Pure industrial sounds certain to appeal to Dissecting Table, Grim, and even Cazzo Dio for those that remember the early days of Black Plague! 5 extended tracks of resounding, metal percussion and corrosive frequencies.

Maculatum – The Nameless City

The Nameless City is the debut of Maculatum, the much anticipated collaborative project of Malignant dark ambient stalwarts Collapsar and Rasalhague. 6 tracks of visionary and cinematic black ambience based on Lovecraftian mythology, populated by unseen cosmic horrors and shapeless forms.

Sektor 304 – Subliminal Actions

The follow-up to the highly acclaimed Soul Cleansing CD finds Portugals Sektor 304 expanding on all aspects of their debut, once again channeling the essence of the old school guardians (Test Dept, SPK, Crash Worship), while simultaneously exploring new, uncharted territory.

Skin Area – Rothko Field

3rd full length release from this acclaimed Martin Bladh (IRM) project (in conjunction with Magnus Lindh), following 2002′s New Skin CD and 2006′s double CD Journal Noir/Lithium Path, both on Cold Meat Industry.

Sphäre Sechs – Tiefschlaf

The formal debut of Martin Stürtzer’s (Phelios) and Christian Stritzel’s deep ambient project, Tiefschlaf was recorded live during a “sleep-concert” which took place in the Sophienkirche (Phobos Festival) in Wuppertal, Germany in September 2011.

Sublime drone music and field recordings by Rutger Zuydervelt. Compilation of tracks recorded in various countries. Some live performances as well as some studio material reconstructed from recordings made on the road.

Skullflower – Fucked On A Pile Of Corpses

The most remorseless, brutal Skullflower ever! Alternating between granular lo-fi primitive rock and granular lo-fi primitive Power Electronics, this taut disc is a chain mail glove of hate to any lazy minds who’ve tainted the air with describing Skullflower as ‘psychedelic’.

Sutcliffe Jugend – With Extreme Prejudice

Harsh extreme electronic pioneers Sutcliffe Jugend return with an album of all new material. Musically and lyrically this is SJ’s most varied album to date, ranging from harsh electronic onslaughts to a new kind of musical oblivion.

Wonderful double CD compilation of British folk. Featuring 33 bands, this is a must own for the fans of the genre.

Just arrived straight from Germany new CDs from legendary Ant-Zen and their sublabel Hymen. All released within last three months!

Contagious Orgasm – Escape

This aural voyage atmospherically varies from hypnotic echo-based beat pulses and moony synthesized melodies up to disturbing industrial soundscapes. Mighty bass strokes, a multitude of different rhythms, manipulated voices and skillfully applied samples result in an adventurous and enthralling work of sonic art.

Exocet – Consequence

Both a strongly abrasive and microscopically detailed world of sound, ‘Consequence’ brings out a unique blend of influences that takes its own path.

Hecq – Avenger

This is his most powerful and pushing release – you could tell a hecq dropkick from a mile away. Against mediocrity, tedium and stagnancy hecq fights a high octane battle based on the pitch-black of dubstep and ecstatic breakbeats. Available in standard edition and limited set with wrestling mask and other extras.

Somatic Responses – Concrete Glider

Still pushing the envelopes of genre with their unique, rigorous approach to electronic dance music, the duo deliver a truly fine assortment of gloomy ambient, breakcore, drum’n'bass, IDM, hardcore techno and industrial, all thrown through the Somatic Responses blender and spread throughout the album’s 13 tracks.

Synapscape – Traits

The album takes the listener into a varied world of rhythmic textures ranging from the complex to straight energetic beat blasts accompanied by a multitude of synth treatments. The moods range from claustrophobic and ice-cold up to a peak of fiery fierce aggression, intensified by Tim’s versatile use of vocals.

Thorofon – Exkarnation

With this album Thorofon strike a new musical path oriented to renovate the artistic and musical tradition of legendary artists like Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Portion Control and SPK whose ‘Flesh and Steel’ is brilliantly covered. ‘Exkarnation’ holds recent compositions with significant references to classic industrial, minimal electro and angst pop realized with today’s production skills.
