Brand new live album from NMS, released as a free gift to all Bandcamp subscribers. If you follow his account, you should have acces to the community section, where Carter is sharing download codes for it. It's a lo-fi collage of sounds from across the sonic universe, rooted in his vapor-psychedelia. Because the album is "hidden", I cannot link it here for streaming.
Hemorrhage Therapy duo are back with a 20-minute long noise mayhem, split across two tracks released on cassette tape. Side A delivers harsher, more in-your-face power electronics noise - mindfuckery without borders or rules, pure hardcore. Side B on the other hand, channels a calmer harsh noise wall that contrasts nicely with the previous experience.
Stream the EP (?) below, and cop the tapes here. I was told only 23 copies were made.
First of four new Smokey Emery albums being released through October. Dark ambient with industrial tint. Buy the album here.
Osaki Seiichi is an ambient composer from Japan, whose previous album "The Tale of a Long Forgotten Sunken City" enchanted me with its alluring underwater themes. Just a couple of days ago, his second record, "In the Footsteps...", was released on Bandcamp, taking the listener on a hiking journey through Japanese hills and valleys, populated by delicate ambient soundscapes and nature-based field recordings. While it may not be as strong as its predecessor, this album still offers a soothing pampering session for the mind. Enjoy.

Silver Tears is the new band by Berlin-based musicians Curses and Skelesys. Their self-titled debut was released earlier this month by Avant! Records and should appeal to everyone hungry for solid, gothic-tinted darkwave and post-punk. I don't want to diminish Skelesys' input on this album, but it seriously sounds like the follow-up to "Incarnadine" I've been waiting for. It's not as good, but the vibe is totally there. It's been on repeat almost every day since I discovered it.

Banal Minutiae posted a couple new tracks on his Soundcloud, "Lorentz4" being my favourite. Incredibly cinematic and atmospheric synth piece that gradually picks up tempo with the addition of the drums - the whole thing feels like an intro to a 80s style movie featuring Tom Cruise. Stream here.
STRFLL's four-track EP arrived at the end of Summer 2025, following the acclaimed debut album "In Memoriam". It’s probably their most hip-hop-leaning release in a while, packed with fat beats and heavy bass.

Houses of Heaven remixed Ghost Cop's single "A Shot In The Dark". Buy it here.
NonCanonDeath, also known as Cazvra, is an experimental electronic producer from Indiana whose project oscillates between noise-ambient and lo-fi beats. "Sleep Within Me" is his debut album for Language Instict, where it found home for its grainy textures and desolate soundscapes.
Download "Sleep Within Me" here. Stream it below.
Tess Conway and The Implicit Order joined forces to create this late-night ambientgaze single "Western Plains". It drifts somewhere between the realm of dreams and the edge of a moonlit lake, where the sounds of nature gently weave into a soundscape that is both blissful and slightly eerie. The track will appear at some point on Anthony's upcoming compilation "Singles 4". In the meantime, you can download and stream this collaboration here.
Sister Faith is most probably yet another alias of CDX. Here, he remixes one of my favourite tracks of 2025, lifted from MSV's "Cinemagoria" album, giving it a psychedelic italo spin. This track, along with six other edits, can be now found on the remix album "Cinemagoria - The Vogue Witch Remixes", which you can download here.
Egyptian prince of murky trip-hop is back with a new album, "Wisswass". Released by Accidental Meetings, Dijit continues here his flawless streak of atmospheric music that manages to curiously stroll through the time vortex, take cues from the esoteric past, and blend them with modern production that's rooted in URL-electronica, alt-pop and hip-hop. Unique and special.
Order the vinyl here (I have no idea how did the manage to produce them at this price!). Stream the album below.
Mary Shelley returns with "Arsonist's Lullaby", out today in digital format via Vertigo Cult and as a limited 3" CDR edition from Bone Valley. This deathly strain of dark ambient pushes her sound to the outermost edges of her career, channelling buried sins and the shadows of the unknown. Layers of industrial experimentation, gritty noise, and cinematic drones collapse into each other, summoning eerie echoes from beyond the grave.

Bflores has shared on his Soundcloud account a rather amazing expansion pack to the "In Absence" EP, which came out a few months back on Vertigo Cult. While tagged as 'deep house', the two-track outtakes release offers so much more - "7:51" sounds like a strange (but dope) bastard child of Hype Williams and Burial, while "Lights" brings some late-night minimal vibes into the house mix. Brillian stuff. For now, it's stream only, check it out here.
Franco-German collaboration between Sad Madona and Flawless Issues is a unique project that can't shake off the witch house label - in the best sense possible. The thumping beats, punchy synths, dark atmosphere looming in the background, and the iconic keys all make this track a brilliant listen that will appeal to witchy dancefloor fans. Stellar single, and free to download too! Check here.
Illuminated Paths has just released a new album from the Chilean powerhouse Humanfobia, entitled "Orbs In My Room". It is spooky business through and through, further deepening their haunted lore with Japanese references, sample flipping, and atmosphere building. The second half of the album really resonates with me - I'm especially digging the uneasy soundscapes and obscure sound collages.
The album is out on limited tapes available here. Stream all the tracks below.
Dancing In Slow Motion was kind enough to put together a mixtape for the Mutant Zones mix series, unleashing 23 minutes of screwed-and-dragged goodies from across the musical spectrum. This one's for the fans of those old SALEM tapes. Download and stream the mix here.
LA duo Milliken Chamber (Kevin Czarnik and Anna Schmidt) return with a new album after a six-year break. It feels odd writing about them here for the first time, as I've felt like I've been following them for ages. Their new record "Hyperphantasia" delivers their signature melodic yet minimal coldwave sound, drawing inspiration from synthwave, gothic new wave, and EBM. A genuine pleasure to listen to.

Noise artist Dead Hands returns with a new single "Haunt Me" - 4 minutes and 40 seconds of cosmic ambient and noise, love it. Buy it here.
Nod Racing is a newcomer to the UK witch house scene, reportedly based in Manchester according to Bandcamp tags. His five-track debut EP "Crisis Actor" is a strong introduction to his style, which is partly inspired by UK bass and electro dance. Undercurrents of wobbly bass and hip-hop beats propel most of the tracks, giving them a distinct flavour that grabbed me straight away. Solid stuff from beginning to end. Check it out.
Cop the EP for a fiver here, and stream it below.
Austin and Lucia are back, this time in their darkest incarnation so far. "Delgado" is a radical industrial/EBM single that manages to bring something fresh to the table without losing their identity. Love this! The 3-track single also includes an instrumental, and an experimental remix from Austin's side project Nomenclature.

Crushing power electronics from Austria. Animal Lust came onto the scene this year, and has been dropping EPs and collaborative splits like crazy. "Welcome To The Displeasuredome" is his second release, there's something in his music on this project that really draws me in. All free to download, so give this dude a check.
Download the EP here.
Short and sweet heavy noise transmissions from this duo based in Bremerton, Washington called Hemorrhage Therapy. Walls of crushing noise will consume your brain while listening to this on high volume, sick release.
Cop it for one dollar here. Stream below.
Vear is an occult ritual noise project based in Adelaide, which I recently came across on the noise subreddit. His latest record, "It's Hidden in the Dirt", is inspired by the film The Blair Witch Project and serves as a atmospheric sonic sequel to the cult horror classic. Ritual drones are drenched in an eerie layer of noise that seeps through the cracks of the speakers like a dark ambient fog. An amazing folk record for seekers of morbid adventures.
You can cop the visual album on limited VHS here. Stream the album below.
So this one may be a bit confusing, because last year we got "...mÿ pe@ce i 1eave y#u", which compiled a bunch of singles and an EP into one package, only to be deleted and reposted yesterday with two extra songs as "Complete Works: '22 - '25". The previously unreleased tracks "Queen Mab (Romeo Edit)" and "5G" add an extra layer to Christopher's folk repertoire - brilliant as always.
Get it here, and stream the whole compilation below.
Sitting at the intersection of witch house and hip-hop is "Awaiting Eternity" - the latest EP from Exsufflation. Following "Heresy" on Vertigo Cult, this new project leans into catchy, mellow beats that feel like they'd work well with vocals layered on top. Still, it's the energetic "Skin" that really stands out here. Overall, it's a decent release, but I think Rob has the potential to push things even further.
Grab the record here and stream it down below.
"Weeping Sky" is the new single from Pictureplane, promoting his upcoming album "Sex Distortion", which should see the light of the day in November. Chill, synthwave track with pop appeal. Rad, DL here.
Language Instinct sees the return of Field Designer with his new album "Hello Stranger". Six ultra-textured compositions that transcend ambient, drone and noise, settling comfortably into the realm of hypnagogia. Lush soundscapes for dream travellers.
Download "Hello Stranger" here. Stream it below.
Freshly released demo EP from a new noise/ambient project I discovered today on Reddit. I Burned My Suicide Note is based in Hawaii, and their debut release consists of four fairly short compositions that oscillate between noisy textures, field recordings, and ambient soundscapes. One for Language Instinct fans.

Came across this single thanks to Mike Textbeak, what a juicy find. Rein is an alias of Stockholm-based singer and producer Joanna Reinikainen. "Power & Passion" is lifted from her 2023 album "God Is A Woman", and is paired here with two radical remixes from The Hacker (super catchy EBM) and Wax Wings (techno banger). Not a single weak spot on this single. Download it here.
Pepsy has finally uploaded to his Bandcamp page the SALEM bootleg he made a while back on YouTube - seven ungodly remixes that drag SALEM's originals through dirt and lo-fi effects, making them grimier and more evil-sounding.

Absolutely haunting release from Japanese visual artist and producer Jun Shimada. Minimal, ritual techno meets industrial noise. Great double-single/EP, and one to follow! Check it out here.
Droning dark ambient composition from the German noise-maker Ken Estes aka Arsenic Tongue, released on his netlabel Rearview Mountain. Free download here.
I discovered the Indonesian musician DN.Aideath a few days ago on Bandcamp while browsing the death industrial tag, and his cover artworks were the element that drew my attention in the first place. "Snake Pit" is his latest album, released by the German powerhouse Tesco Org. Raw power electronics meet industrial minimalism.
You can buy the (pricey) CDs here, and stream the album below.
Morgue File is the alias of Daniel Cornejo from California, who has a number of other projects, but it's this one that caught my ear. Death ambient and cold, morgue-themed noise transmissions form the epicentre of this album, delivering a whiff of deathly chill to your speakers.
Sadly, the tapes are sold out, but you can peep the digital version here.
"Burning State" is a skullcrushing new release from Exome, offering six tracks of pure, unrelenting power electronics and noise. Put out by Italian label Ophism, the record feels like a barrage of sonic warfare. It is an album that's not just abrasive but also confrontational, like being thrown into the middle of a battlefield and forced to relive the trauma. Radical stuff, and the cover art is equally sick.
Get it here, and stream below.
Here's a collab I was not expecting, but so obvious when you think about it. Pale Palace and Beauty join forces for this club-ready rap banger. Stream here.
Video single lifterd from the album "Forever", out now on Re:Mission Entertainment.

Mutant Zones mix series returns with a tribute mixtape from Humanfobia's founder, producer, visual artist and curator Sabila Orbe, aka Filmy Ghost. The Chilean underground powerhouse has prepared a mixtape dedicated to a unique era in Internet history - a time when netlabels reigned over the online landscape and challenged ideas of collaboration, copyright and ownership. "Golden Age of Netlabels" is a 25-minute journey, told through songs from artists who were part of that movement between 2006 and 2010. Download and stream the mix here.
Jang Hun returns with his latest album "A Girl Under the Streetlight", a lush ambient work crafted over the past five years from layered guitar textures, tape loops, synths, and samples. Glimpses of drone, noise, and deconstructed shoegaze shine through nine ethereal soundscapes that convey a sense of longing and hope.

Morgve's EP "Feast" is an ultimate digestif released after their previous album "Symphony For Those In Pain". Both dropped in 2024 and they complement each other perfectly. Like its predecessor, "Feast" is a wide-ranging collection of tracks that span multiple styles, showcasing the band's flexibility and confidence in taking on any genre. Nadia is unstoppable on vocals, equally comfortable rapping or singing, and she owns every beat. Music-wise, I must say I'm most drawn to the big room/techno singles, with the opening "Cut The Throat" being my favourite.

The latest single from Death's Cold Embrace may be his best yet. "The Complete and Utter Destruction of Everything" lives up to its title - it's a gloomy, gothic ballad that had me bobbing my head from the start, reminiscent of the early days of King Dude. An EP is coming soon! Grab the track here.
STRFLL decided to release the third volume in the "Insanity Era" series, chronicling the recording process of their magnum opus "In Memoriam". It showcases all the early demo versions along with a handful of new and untitled tracks - a phenomenal view into the artist's initial drafts and sketches that further prove how much they grew as a producer.

I'm pleased to announce the official launch of my new label called Bone Valley. It will release exclusively 3" CDRs in limited editions and focus mainly on industrial, noise, dark ambient, drone and witch house. The first release from Ghost Mirror came out on July 29, and a new batch of three new EPs premiered today. These include "More" by White Columns, "Votive Deposit" by Pharmacist, and "Modernity" by Natural Orthodoxy. You can preview all CDRs here. Streams are available here, but there will be no digital downloads (unless directly from the artists).
Irish composers Jonathan Deasy and Alan Doyle join forces for this magnificent, drone-heavy split tape "Earth Fall" on Hibernian Leather. J. Deasy's "The View From My Window" makes me feel as if I'm aboard a spaceship, slowly drifting on the edges of our galaxy, gazing into the cosmic void occasionally pierced by floating space debris. Primitive Gauze's side is more minimal, darker, and almost meditative in its slow, gradual progression, leading towards the dawn of something bleaker and more ominous. Amazing work.
Get the last batch of tapes here, and check out the whole split below.
"Ned's Mystery Machine Vol. 1" was recorded (as usual) fully improvised on August 23, 2024, during Ned's Mystery Machine radio show, which is broadcast on KXLU (88.9 FM) from Los Angeles. With the AK collective reduced to Chris Avitabile and Peter Walker, the album offers an intimate 33-minute experience that transcends leftfield ambient, delicate drones, and new-age mysticism - potentially taking you, the listener, on a mindful, cosmic voyage around the galaxy, if you dare to put on your headphones and close your eyes. Fantastic effort, as always from this crew. Don't miss out, and grab it from AKP Recordings here.
