REVIEW: Infinite Inertia - "The Colour Out Of Space"

It isn't often that I write and post a review for this blog (chalk it up to my own laziness/selfishness) but when I do it's usually of The Netherlands' Infinite Inertia. Usually known for producing some of the deepest, darkest minimal ambient atmospheres, he's really outdone himself with this latest, Lovecraftian-themed release. "The Colour Out Of Space" presents us with a decidedly more dense and complex soundscape where ancient monstrosities call from the deepest depths and snatches of melody lure us into madness like a siren's song. Highly recommended if you're looking for your next "soundtrack without a movie."

SUB007 Subterrestrial - "The City Beneath" (REMASTERED)

"The City Beneath" is a longform dark ambient piece inspired by the epic, groundbreaking 1927 science fiction silent film "Metropolis" by German director Fritz Lang. The composition explores the themes presented in the film and in particular, the subterranean city of the oppressed working class. The City Beneath" was composed and recorded in early May of 2010 and released as a CDr on Black Drone: 13 Series on May 13, 2010 (catalog # 13-7) in an edition of 26 copies. By 2011, "The City Beneath" was completely sold out and had gone out of print. The original recording was very slightly tweaked, cleaned up and overall remastered in late July 2011 and re-released on Subterrestrial Netlabel. New front and back covers were created from the original graphic materials.

Two New Subterrestrial Videos

It's amazing, the things you discover when you Google yourself. Or maybe I should just pay more attention to my YouTube friends? Anyway, this morning I discovered two new videos for Subterrestrial tracks on YouTube.




f1kc1a77 who previously released a video for "The Cellular Cosmology" has outdone herself again with a great video for "Beyond the 17 Layers, a Void."




Much love also goes out to GodofGUFT for his video of "The Bohemian Grove" from our album "Conspiracy Music".

Thanks, as always to the wonderful people who take the time to create these videos. As always, you have my eternal gratitude!

Sirona-Records - [Siro071] to [Siro080]

v.a. - "Sounds Behind the Corner Vol. 2"

Sounds Behind the Corner is a prolific Italian-language webzine which covers a broad spectrum of dark underground music and Subterrestrial was very proud to be asked to contribute an exclusive track to their second free sampler. Please give this sampler a listen and help support the artists and Sounds Behind the Corner! Below are the release notes for this collection:


"Valerio Orlandini (here as Symbiosis) was several times in our writings, with his ascetic, dilated and rarefied sound: we present him here with a typical passage, he's an artist we want, also in the future, as a witness of a no-space, no-body sound.
http://www.symbiosis.tk/

Ira K-Organisation has the task of defending harsh industrial, he completes this mission with an obscure sense of pathological sound, phobic but dancey.
http://www.myspace.com/irakorg

Adam Castillo lives in French Polynesia, one more reason why we have elected him as an appendix of our dreams! He's a great composer, that blends, as in an elegant long-drink, local ethnic flavors with world trance.
http://www.adam-castillo.com/

Meeting Art Of Empathy means to be captured by dark-folk, born between chanson-noir and languid melancholy: Rome or Death In June of “Accidental Protegé” live today in him, with the great cinematic meaning of his sound.
http://www.artofempathy.be/

Emelyan XIII; It was immediate love for the romanticism of this Eastern boy: romantic is his land, full of literary links took by improbable or impossible love, and ideological death. His full-length conquers us between a smile and a tear, a drop of red blood in b/w background.
http://www.myspace.com/emelyanxiii

Gary lives in the Bay, and there's only one bay in the world, all the other ones are derived: it's California Bay, where dreams of freedom was born in S. Francisco, then there are the Concorde with which you can fly to slavery or liberty, Berkeley and ancients forests. Contradictions of a Nation, that Subterrestrial translates in music with phobic or ethereal, glacial or introspective albums: here it's a perfect and algid interlude, aesthetic without reverberations, linear as lot of his music.
http://subterrestrial.blogspot.com/

Russia again: a land rich in underrated talents, because of the limited opportunities. We're not the mainstream, who seeks for profits in return, although we're asking for approvation, and Veell deserves to be hold in due consideration: his kind of IDM is linear, composed of regular geometries, sometimes cosmic sometimes watery. Listen to him and allow a chance to a great talent.
http://www.veell.net/

White Label Music gives us this track of the new English talented duo we loved immediately, maybe we're the first in Italy who have had the honour to talk about The Horn The Hunt. Music and theater, pop and wave, ethereal and fine brit rock are also in the track donated by the label.
http://thehornthehunt.com/

French, and as in most of french combos there are a beautiful girl and a good musician; we hope that this rule remains, over time, and that it goes on to donate us an high-level eletroclash, like Shygirl's music.
http://www.myspace.com/shygirlmusique


Sagnik And Krishnaroop lead us in India, with their world-trance, which sinks the keyboards in the tradition and the tablas in the future, reversing any order, creating the new course of a nation that looks at the future, strong for cultural and mystical power of thousands of years.
http://www.facebook.com/sagnik24


Namastè to all of you who have listened to Behind The Corner Sounds Vol.2.
As with Vol 1, thanks to Jamendo, always a source of scouting, the opportunity to get in rope and watch the ocean of sound art, capturing the nuances, the small ripples, and proposing the best.
We thank all the labels that help us to grow, the artists who rely on us with confidence even in their first page, to which we respond with love for the music of a small site, but big in intent.
The editors (Nicola, Phaeton, Valentina), thanks all those who in the future will want to subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed:
http://www.soundsbehindthecorner.org/newsletter.asp
We are committed as ever to introduce the big names of the dark world, and the small certainties that come every week."

REVIEW: Static Soma "Ultrataker"

Introducing the latest side project from the Dutch dark ambient/industrial orb that is Vulture, Static Soma takes a decidedly minimalist approach. Eschewing dense layers of sound, "Ultrataker" focuses on dark, isolationist soundscapes. Sometimes pychedelic, sometimes with an ethereal feel. Equally palatable to fans of both noise and more ambient type of music.

Mind Plug Records - The First Anniversary

Celebrating the first year of Mind Plug Records, label head Marc Fischer presents a free ambient intermix of some of the great music released on this label so far. A message and track list from our esteemed label head follows.

"This has been an exciting first year with some really great releases. Thanks to all who supported us!

We would like to celebrate this first anniversary with a special free download for all our fans - The First Anniversary mix: we have woven a track from each release that came out this year into to a dark, meditative, ritual, noisy soundscape.

We take off with Mikan's delightful Spacefalls. Subterrestrial's meditative High Sierra Breeze and Sunset Beach arise together at around (3:53). They are joined by Seetyca's ethereal Swamp Temple Sun (6.06), together melting their way throughout the first part of Mikan's mesmerizing The Way Back (6:52). Siamgda's ethnic Tribal Gathering takes over at (12:56), briefly visited by Siamgda feat. Morty's ritual Golden Prayer at (13:47), just before Neti Neti's harder-edged Circumdance (17:52) climbs its way through the Gathering up to the climax joined there by Siamgda's pulsating Mind Rotation at (18:15)."

Subterrestrial - "Lake Tahoe" digital album

Formed some 2 million years ago by glacial action, Lake Tahoe is one of the world's deepest and largest alpine lakes. It is an area of unprecedented natural beauty and is something of a muse to Subterrestrial.

The album of the same name was composed and performed using acoustic (albeit sampler based) instruments and sounds exclusively. Drawing influence from dark ambient, darkwave, ethereal and world music, "Lake Tahoe"conveys the profound, divine natural beauty of the region that inspired it. This 14-track digital album can be previewed online now for free and the full download can be purchased in high quality MP3, FLAC and many other formats of your choosing. Over one hour of music for €8 EUR.

REVIEW: Joris J/Ratbag - "Liar Paradox" split

New from kulturterrorismus netlabel comes a split by two great artists who I am getting to hear for the first time. Joris J and Ratbag epitomize true, traditional industrial music as it's meant to be played. Ratbag starts it off with some dark ambient atmospheres, punctuated by clangs and scrapes that are dampened, not jarring and mix well. The second track is a tightly composed harsh noise piece with low rumbles, high-pitched chirps and mid-range metallic drones. More industrial atmospheres are followed by Joris J's contribution, their first track starting off with some distorted bell tones that evolves into some aggressive sample & hold electronics. The next track starts off with some unplaceable '60s sample, then moves into a multi-layered drone passage. More ambient industrial atmospheres follow, with a short noise piece wrapping the split up. Diverse sounds that you can play in order or random for different flavors with every listen. Available as both VBR MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, highly recommened!
