Fabrizio de Bon( of Italian HNW/ Hash noise project Fukte & owner of Toxic Industries) is going to hopefully release an album entitled Pericolo Di Morte (which means 'Danger of Death' in Italian) on US label Mind Flare Media….but he needs to get twenty pre-orders to make it possible.The album is four tracks of very subtle harsh noise wall consisting of electromagnetic field recordings captured at four different sites in his home country of Italy using a DIY VLF antenna and a LS-10 recorder.In essence these tracks follow classic HNW style but with delicate crackles,hints of electrical activity and various sounds imbedded naturally into the soundscapes of these bare-bones recordings. Untouched, raw, and naturally in the air, but inaudible. Pericolo Di Morte makes listenable those sounds which are constantly around us in electrical plants, wires, and various industrial towers. The artwork was based on an actual warning sign at one of the sites (which you'll see in an insidephotograph and also in the links below). Preorder runs until July 31st 2012 and you get the regular CD at half cost with a limited shirt in one of two designs (selected during checkout). One of the designs is featured in the Bancamp link below as the main artwork. $30 with shipping in the US.

Crucial Blast has just released a free download only comp called Heresies.This digital compilation features twenty-three tracks, many of which have not yet been released, from an array of artists that range from cult legends to newly formed purveyors of sonic extremism. The music that's collected here presents a fairly comprehensive cross-section of the sort of music that the label specializes in, from the sounds of terrifying blackened industrial, withered cemetary folk, crude black metal, horror electronics, and apocalyptic doom-laden dub mutations, to jet-black ambience, majestic power electronics, putrid goresludge, corrosive black noise, vile death industrial, bizarre necro-electro experiments, avant-garde deathdoom, and twisted basement black psychedelia. Across these twenty-three tracks, you will find the likes of Gnaw Their Tongues, Wold, Sutcliffe Jugend, Funerary Call, Luasa Raelon, Theologian, Ehnahre, Korperschwache, T.O.M.B., Iron Forest, Husere Grav, Reclusa, Time Moth Eye (mem. of Stone Breath), Fecalove, Lucifers Foreskin, Mors Sonat (members of Gnaw Their Tongues and Nekrasov), Glass Coffin, Crown Of Bone (ex-Demonologists), Yami Kurae, Project:Void, Pusdrainer, Rotorvator, and Actuary. More than two hours of aural horror, crepuscular beauty, and bone-rattling heaviness, carefully selected for your pleasure. The Heresies compilation is available as a free download at crucialblast.bandcamp.com/album/heresies-2012

Kylie Minoise, the solo noise project of artist/musician Lea Cummings, has released a number of compilations, splits, and full-lengths under his label, Korovox Sound. After noticing Mind Flare Media releases by the bands MAAAA and Torturing Nurse, he sent his demo, which was later accepted in part along with several new tracks for his latest full-length release, DIE YUPPIE SCUM! The album opens with a harsh noise attack similar to earlier releases by Cummings, which suddenly leads into a series of 13 harsh electro noise pop soundscapes featuring addictive synth hooks, overloaded beats, atmospheric vocals, progressive layering, live drums, effects-ridden ambient guitars, and plenty of weirdness. The artwork was done by Lea himself, featuring an eccentric usage of colors and bizarre animal figures. The album is being released with a special T-shirt utilizing the art of the front cover of the CD, which is only available for a limited time. Preordering lasts until February 14th, and after this the shirt will no longer be produced. Those interested can check out www.mindflaremedia.com and click on the ad on the main page, which leads directly to the order form for this special package.
