Creepy Images Volumes 4-6 - Creepy Images Volumes 4-6( Book)

Creepy Images is a long-out-of-print collectable magazine that began life in 2009. In order to make these collector's items available again, Creepy Images have reissued the first three issues in an anthology, this is the follow-up to that original collection featuring issues 4-6. 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.


Pit Of Despair/Woods Mattress - Split

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.


RDKPL - Color Noise Wall

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.


Simon Berz - Tectonic

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.


Fallen Sun - Parallel Disalignment

Parallel Disalignment sits somewhere between more polished/pristine harsh noise and dartingly seared electro-acoustics. It’s the second release from this project, which is the solo venture of Malaysian electronic artist, Y’ng-Yin Siew (Reverse Image).


Kleistwahr - The Battlefield Is Everywhere

The Battlefield Is Everywhere is a very difficult album to pigeonhole, as it not only often switches between sonically ambient, noisy, and dense. It also liberally blends 'n' blurs genres such as synth drone, prog/ post-rock, shoegaze, noise, and dense/droned-out singer-songwriter fare.


Opaque - Qakes

Here we have the first release in quite some time from this Scottish droning  & baying guitar-based project. Quakes is a CDR release- featuring seven tracks over its two-disc run. There is a decent shift in both tone and feel from track-to-track.


Delinquent Schoolgirls - Delinquent Schoolgirls( DVD & Blu Ray)

Now here’s an extremely sleazy, bad taste, and wholly unwholesome take on 1970’s sexploitation comedy form.  The film regards three escaped criminally insane sex addicts heading to a girls' school during a vacation, where only a handful of students- played by large-breasted actresses- are left. The film is highly misogynistic, homophobic, and racist- with the rape/ nasty sleaze often present with playful comic music. It’s a picture that is truly wrong on every level, with the viewer's jaw dropping further and further as the whole thing unfolds.  Here from VCI Entertainment’s The Psychotronica Collection is a dual DVD & Blu Ray release of the film, including an archive commentary track, and a few trailers/ shorts


Play Dead - Play Dead( VOD)

Play Dead (2025) is an Argentine survival horror slasher from director Carlos Goitia (Nightmare Radio: The Night Stalker and The 100 Candles Game: The Last Possession). Written by Gonzalo Mellid and Camilo Zaffora, it stars Paula Brasca (What the Waters Left Behind and Focus) alongside a largely unknown cast including Damian Castillo, Catalina Motto, and Marta Quarleri. The film premiered at the 47th Moscow International Film Festival and follows a woman who wakes up in a basement surrounded by corpses and must play dead to survive a masked killer's ritualistic game.


Coven of the Black Cube - Coven of the Black Cube (Blu Ray)

Coven of the Black Cube is a 2024 film that blends threads of witchcraft curses, queer romance, metalhead drama, and horror. It’s a SOV affair, very much paying tribute to the 1990’s- with moments of glitching to psychedelic static, a genre-shifting soundtrack which moves between eerie ambience, different varieties of heavy metal, indie rock/ pop, and uneasy pagan folk. Here, Blood Sick Promotions is a region-free Blu-ray of the film, taking in a commentary track and behind-the-scenes footage.


Cape Cod Cthulhu - Cape Cod Cthulhu( Blu Ray)

Cape Cod Cthulhu is somewhat of a bizarro mix of slasher & dread-filled cosmic horror, with light & lo-fi CGI  touches of weather-focused disaster,  giant monster action, and postmodern satire. This film is helmed by Mark Polonia, one of the most prolific figures in US low-budget horror/ sci-fi. This was his seventh and final film of 2025. Here from SRS Cinema is a Blu-ray release of the picture, taking in as always, with a  Polonia release, a most interesting & informative commentary.


Nauzea Negra. - Walls Towards Nothingness

Walls Towards Nothingness offers up six twenty-minute blocks of walled noise from this Mexico City project. All six tracks are fairly dense, unrelenting, and brutal examples of the genre, fitting the release's title.


Olion & Silver Dove - All The Pretty Little Kittens

All The Pretty Little Kittens is thirteen minute Ep that blends choppy & rugged wall noise with rising & glowing guitar ambience/ mellow shoegaze. It’s a collaboration between Olsztyn, Poland’s Olion and Liverpool’s Silver Dove, 


Raté - Anti-France Vaincra ↙↙↙

Anti-France Vaincra ↙↙↙ is a nearly hour-long slab of doomily purring 'n' churning walled noise from this French project. The track has a decidedly dense and suffocating presence- with a fixed and unforgiving focus.


Autistici - Familiarity Unfolded

Collaboration can open doors and channels to composition, allowing one to view their pieces in a new light and reveal new approaches to music creation. Autistici has released the third in a three-part collaboration series with Familiarity Unfolded (following Familiarity Folded and Familiarity Enfolded), working with five other artists over six engaging electronic tracks. With the artists both co-writing and remixing each other's work, each collab brings the pair closer together, each track being an expression of this artistic camaraderie. 


Cutter’s Way - Cutter’s Way ( UHD & Blu Ray)

Cutter’s Way (aka Cutter and Bone) is a 1981 neo-noir thriller, directed by Ivan Passer (Intimate Lighting, Haunted Summer and Crime and Passion). The film stars Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski, Starman and Crazy Heart), John Heard (Cat People, Big and After Hours), Lisa Eichhorn (The Vanishing, The Europeans and About Time), Ann Dusenberry (Jaws 2, Lies and The Men’s Club) and Stephen Elliott (Death Wish, Beverley Hills Cop and Arthur).
