Eternal Life No End is a truly inspired sonic collusion between traditional Arabic instrumentation/ melody, and moody electronica. With traditional instrumentation and vocal chants moving alongside buzzing, juddering, and brooding electronics.

Afterlife Requiem is the second album from this post-classical dark drone project from Winnipeg, Manitoba.  It’s a nine-track affair, which moves between lush yet mournful drifts. Murky-edged mournful simmers, and gloomily sweeping expanses darted by the odd bleak sample.

Insect Movements balances murky roll, with constantly punishing battering. The single-track wall noise release slides in at just under the half-hour mark and remains both full/ fixed throughout.

Yellow Noise Wall severs up a shot of rapidly rumbling ‘n’ tumbling walled- with a thick meaty bass centre, and an addictively churning flow. 

Incremental Cemetery Decomposition shovels up two slabs of grimly battering and ghoulishly baying walled noise from this Indiana-based project. Each track hits dead on the twenty-minute mark, and each is as unrelenting/ bleakly horror-fed as the other.

From the early 1980’s, Excalibur is a cinematic retelling of the legend of King Arthur. It’s an epic, but always well-paced affair- blending atmospheric, at times bloody battles, sword and sorcery intrigue, and rousing-to-downbeat moodiness.  Here from Arrow Video- both in the UK and stateside- is either a triple Blu-ray or UHD set. Taking in a new 4k scan, three commentary tracks- two new, and a blend of new and archive extras

Helter Skelter (Herutâ sukerutâ) is an early 2010 Japanese film that has decidedly Jing & Jang quality.  It blends lush, grand, and multi-coloured visuals with cruelty, manipulation, and deprivation. The film focuses on a top fashion star/ actress, at the height of fame, and her steady decline/ unfurling. The film sits somewhere between pitch-black satire, drama, and psychological thriller, with touches of body horror, crime investigation, and glitzy arthouse. Here from 88 Films is a Blu-ray release of the film, taking in an HD scan, a new commentary track, and a few other extras.

Wicked Games is a Blu-ray box set bringing together three films helmed by Paris-born actor-turned-director Robert Hossein. The films date from between the late 50's and early 60's- moving from a prison drama/ escape thriller/noir. Onto mystery-centred noir, with a femme fatale focus, and ahead of its time, moody western. Each picture receives a 2k scan, a commentary track from highly respected genre commentator Tim Lucas, and a selection of other extras- be they new or old.

Franco Nero and Martin Balsam headline the curiously titled Confessions of a Police Captain, an Italian crime drama which earned acclaim on release in 1971. Now, 55 years on, a new 2K restoration from Radiance brings Damiano Damiani's compelling, thought-provoking thriller into high definition. 

Italian trio Owls Over Oaks hit Argonauta with their virtually self-titled debut, O.O.O. Composed of members of the Turin metal scene (Enisum, Amethista, Nihili Locus, and Nerocapra), Owls seek to bring about an immersive, 'extreme drone doom' experience to the masses. 

Creepy Images is an all-colour-cult horror magazine that began life in 2009. As you'd imagine, its early issues are now long out-of-print, so to make these collector's items available again, here is a book reissuing issues 4 to 6. As well as providing the original text in English (as with the original releases), they have included a German translation for the first time too.

Here’s a terminally raw, grimly worn, at points searing ‘n’ drilling wall noise split. It brings together Frances Pit Of Despair and Illinois Woods Mattress- each party offers up around half an hour wall. The first is fairly fixed, while the second is mostly fixed, though later on, we do get some rewarding deviation.

Color Noise Wall brings together three around ten-minute walls from this Czech project. As its title suggests, there is textual variety between each track.

Equal parts ethnographic research and percussive exploration, Simon Berz‘s Tectonic is proof of an enduring intelligence within sound and its contexts and histories as marshalled by an accomplished musician and researcher.
