Black Light District - Exhausted

Black Light District's new gothic electronica single "Exhausted" sounds like something out the the Lost Boys OST. Picture a handful of handsome vampire bad boys on motorcycles racing towards the moonlight. Sick track, you can buy it here.

God Is War & The Vomit Arsonist ‎- No Country For Old Men

titled

God Is War and The Vomit Arsonist, two stalwarts in noise circles released a collaborative album titled "No Country For Old Men" via Deathbed Tapes earlier this year in April.

Check out the digital version here. Stream below.

The New Romantics - Now I See You

New Romantics returns with "Now I See You", a shoegazing alt-rock jammer that feels like something out of 90s. You can buy the single here.

Beauty - We Run The Skreets Mixtape

I just blogged about Beauty's new band Paradise, and two hours later found out he has a new mixtape out! "We Run The Skreets Mixtape" serves as a perfect dessert to his Vertigo Cult EP that came out two years ago, showcasing a number of influences that impact his production style. Of course there's a lot of Gucci Mane, but the original productions are what shine the most. Dope tape, make sure to buy it here.

Paradise - Strings

Paradise is a new project from the mind of Beauty, created in collaboration with an as-yet-unnamed singer. Their first single, "Strings", reverberates with echoes of the '90s dancefloor, sampled into a modern witch house/pop track. Loads of potential here—Ben has proven time and again that he is a force to be reckoned with. An amazing first release, you can buy it here.

Animal Lust - The Desire To Jump Is Overpowering The Fear Of Heights

Three new harsh noise tracks from Animal Lust landed on Bandcamp a few days, so I thought it's worth sharing them. The title speaks for itself, and AL manages to weave some power electronics into the mix, creating a depressingly bleak release that can fuck up your day if you're not in the right mood. Digging the collage on the front cover.

Download is available here. Stream below.

Pike - Warden/Nedraw

Hibernian Leather has just put out this sublime ambient cassette by Irish outfit Pike (only identified by the initials P.S and B. S). The almost 40-minute release, split into two parts, expertly merges dreamy, glacial soundscapes with submerged tape-loop samples, all occasionally dotted with desolate noise textures. With its slow, hypnagogic tempo, it feels like an out-of-body experience. Love it.

Limited tapes are available here. Stream the release down below.

White Ring - Eyes 4 U

"Eyes 4 U" is the first single off White Ring's upcoming album "Fate". The dreamy witch-pop single steers the band's sound into more radio-friendly territories, while remaining firmly rooted in their signature style.

Nameless Twin - Neon Machine Gun

At some point in time I followed on Bandcamp this artist, but completed forgot about them. Today they released a new single "Neon Machine Gun" and it just blew me away. This is like peak new wave White Ring vibe chiseled in a futuristic synth/metal marble, amazing arrangements, vocals and melody. Super stoked to check more! Make sure to cop this single here.

Jang Hun - Hundred Heartaches And You Won't Even Know Anything There

Sometimes it's just easier to copy-paste the info directly from the artist as there's no point reinventing the wheel. Jang Hun (better known as Witcha to readers of this blog) has a new release titled "Hundred Heartaches And You Won't Even Know Anything There", which is "a 60-minute-long ambient-DJ mix consisting of heavily-reverbed drones made of samples, private recordings, unreleased songs, remixes and more." The general consensus is that you should fully immerse yourself when soaking in new music, but with this ambient mega-mix/album, I feel like it works best in the passenger seat of whatever else you're doing - existing in the background and adding an extra layer of depth to life without overcrowding your mind. I really enjoyed it. Download here.

The House They Haunt Is You - Forgotten Life (1991 - )

The House They Haunt Is You has been super productive since my last blog post about him. "Forgotten Life (1991 - )" is his most recent album, inspired by SALEM, Shlohmo and found footage recordings - to which I'd also add the vibe of Lorn trying his hand at ambient. The lo-fi aesthetic is present from the very first track, which kicks off with a sample of someone loading a tape into a player and pressing play. Alex says he was aiming for a deteriorated sound with lots of delay, and the result is exactly that: sixteen tracks of gritty, eerie tension. The more I listened to this, the more it grew on me. Great stuff.

A Place Both Wonderful And Strange - It's Not That Bad, Muffin // video

"

"It's Not That Bad, Muffin" is the lead single from the latest album of the NY duo A Place Both Wonderful And Strange "Matter and Desire". The album is so good (review coming soon), but in the meantime enjoy this game of mirrors videoclip.

Sad Madona - Amor Hardcore

"Amor Hardcore" is Sad Madona's compilation from last year, released on vinyl and CD by French label Manic Depression Records. The record is a collection of singles released between 2023 and 2025, and additionally includes two previously unreleased tracks. Cult bangers "Witch Coast" and "Crimes", despite being released on the 2023 mini-album "Dramatic Dance", are also included here - and I can't fault them, the former in particular is an absolute jam. The compilation displays a huge spectrum of sub-genres, showcasing Sad Madona's range and eclectic taste - from early-TRST era post-witch heaters, to lo-fi post-punk and coldwave gems, to sadcore ballads. An incredible artist and a great release.

Last copies are still available here. Stream the whole comp below.

Hemorrhage Therapy - Hemorrhage Therapy

Bone Valley special continues. I blogged about Hemorrhage Therapy's two other releases, but for some reason left out their self-titled debut EP - which, by the way, was my introduction to their music. It has now been given a home by Bone Valley and is available on limited 3" CDRs. The five-track record is a collage of harsh noise experiments and noise wall manipulations that fuck everything up in their way like an unstoppable force. Anger music for when you're just done with everything. Dope.

Grab the digital here, CD here and peep the whole release down below.

Lover's Leap - To Penetrate Into The Walls Of Perception

"To Penetrate Into The Walls Of Perception" is the debut EP from London-based musician Lover's Leap. Lo-fi transmissions of death industrial origin, this project feels like a found footage recording compiled moments before impending doom. There are echoes of noise and power electronics here too, styles that would later define the sound of Lover's Leap, but here they add an extra texture to the gravely ambient. Incredible stuff.

The EP is out now on Bone Valley and can be ordered here. Stream below.

Mater Suspiria Vision - Flesh In Paradise EP

"Flesh In Paradise" marks the surprising return of Mater Suspiria Vision after the Phantasma Disques Bandcamp got nuked a few months ago. This 3-track EP sounds like a collage of older material, rearanged and glued in new ways that pay tribute to both the old and new sound of the collective. Short and fun.

Cop the EP here, and stream below.

Replicant - Leather & Lace

The Replicants are back with a new single "Leather & Lace", a dark synth ode to hedonistic senses of human nature. Grab the track here.

Knifework - Nothing Is Coming

Knifework is a new side-project of Dave Duval, from the kosmische duo Tetsüo ii. On "Nothing Is Coming" he takes EBM, industrial and krautrock under the microscope, extracting the essence from their roots and creating this (slightly dungeon-facing) sonic mutation. The titular track is mesmerizing in its simplicity and depth.

You can download the EP here and stream all the tracks down below.

White Columns - Regret Is An Inevitable Consequence Of Life

"Regret Is An Inevitable Consequence Of Life" is an 18-minute drone epic. White Columns, like a monk on the edge of his temple, is sending out a heavy signal to guide lost wanderers and adventure seekers. To continue the story, roll the dice. Grab this composition here.

The Implicit Order - Post Ambient Volume One

Post ambient, still occult. The Implicit Order returns with a new album of ghostly recordings for Wholeness Recordings, exploring the esoteric corners of the ambient spectrum. Unintentionally spooky, this project proves that The Implicit Order is a master of eerie world-building through his sound collages and sonic experiments.

You can support Anthony by buying the album (or the whole discography) here. Stream the whole LP below.

Deseo/Realidad - Deseo/Realidad

Deseo/Realidad is a drone side project from JC Lobo, better known as Ritualz. His self-titled EP came out in March this year, but only now made its way to my speakers. It is a-mazing, the three soundscapes JC crafted here are utterly hypnotising, cinematic in their grandiose, and both minimal and hyper-detailed. Obsessed!

You can still be limited to 6 copies CDR here. Stream below.

Insignificant Spirit - Kykeon Hymn

Occult electronics from Black Artifact regular Insignificant Spirit. "Kykeon Hymn" sounds like an intimate glimpse through the curtain of a room where black magic is happening - something you shouldn't be looking at. The press info says it all: "inspired by the Eleusinian Mysteries and the secret rites associated with the European witchcraft revival led by Eleanor Bone" - how fucking cool is that? Noise drone music for lost souls and curious searchers. Best enjoyed in the dark.

Tapes are still available here. Check out the album below.

STRFLL - Hatred For Everything

Holy fuck, STRFLL goes all in on this new single. Raw, brutal and more metal that I was expecting, despite donning the most metal logo on the cover. Support here!

House of Leaves - I Am But A Vessel

House of Leaves released "I Am But A Vessel" back in November last year, on Soundcloud as a stream only EP. Now, we finally get an option to purchase it on Bandcamp. While still basking in the eerie samples and ghostly soundscapes characteristic of his previous work, this project leans into more beat-driven tracks, offering a clear glimpse of where HoL is headed next.

Cop the EP here. Stream all the tracks below.

Wilting God - Static Gardens And Silencing Mantras

Wilting God's new compilation "Static Gardens And Silencing Mantras" is a descent into sci-fi-flavoured noise madness. You wake up on a deserted space station to a concerto of bleeps and glitches before being consumed by an overwhelming feeling of dread. Despite this album being a collection of unreleased tracks, my brain decided to weave a story around these sounds. Best enjoyed at night!

Support Wilting God by buying the album here. Stream below.

Morgue File - A Hole In The Earth That Made Me

The most exciting death industrial artist returns with a new EP, this time released through Bone Valley. "A Hole In The Earth That Made Me" is fairly short, but almost instantaneously transports you to a coffin six feet deep, where you wake up in a cold sweat realising you're buried alive. Muted earth thumps are faintly pulsing above, marking your last breaths before the inevitable happens. Best enjoyed as a double feature with The Vanishing (1988).

Limited CDs are available here. You can also download the EP directly from Morgue File here. Stream below.
