DER ANGRIFF new release

Stalnoj Pakt – Decima Mas / Il Principo Nero - 10"

Angriff Nr. 10 [PYRO Delta]

This is the fourth release in the PROMETHEUS series, this time Der Angriff is proud to present the first
record of the new Alexander Lebedev-Frontov project named Stalnoj Pakt. Alexander is known for his project
Linija Mass, its self-released tapes and Europe made vinyls let him deserve the reputation of one of the most
interesting russian industrial artist. Stalnoj Pakt is less futuristic and rhythmic than the previous Linija
Mass works, it has more atmospheric sound, but the raw density of noise aggression is still there though it
became a kind of a shell for the inner delicate soundscapes, deep and subtle, which lie beyond the harsh
constructions. This record shows us the new creative levels of Alexander's music and will definitely not
disappoint everyone who liked his older stuff as well as everyone who prefer more multi-level and profound
industrial sound-art. The release is limited to 300 copies and comes in a usual PROMETHEUS series package with
a silver embossed back cover and silver-on-black printed front cover. IST 015 V

OTHER LABELS new releases:

CHIMAERA

Lunar Abyss Quartet - Zeleznaya Voda - CD Lim.500

Chimaera XM1

First CD-album of this great project from St. Petersburg, to be discovered. A perfect mix of russian pagan
rituals and soulful atmosphere. Sometimes close to Werkbund, sometimes to Hybryds, but with absolutely
authentic feel of vast russian fields and hidden forest sanctuaries. Very recommended. 7 tracks, 68 min,
digipak


Nick Soudnick - Tauromakhia - CD Lim.500

Chimaera XM2

Nick Sudnick is one of the veterans of the non-conformist art movement in Russia, he is known to industrial
listeners for his participation in Vetrophonia, his mutual project with Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija
Mass, Stalnoj Pakt) and - to the most wide audience as well – for his Zga albums. This album based on the
Greek Mythology, the sound is varied from harsh ambient noise to monumental musical moments. Very nice work
from this legend of russian underground. 12 tracks, 66 min, A5 booklet.

WAYSTYX RECORDS

Bad Sector - Xela - CD Lim.500

Waystyx 01

The 2nd edition of the “Xela” album, which was previously released in 2001 in a metal box. Now it comes in a
nice special package similar to 5,25” computer diskette case with inserts. Musically it is typical Bad Sector
work with all their distinctive features, a remastered source tape used during Bad Sector’s performance in
Berlin in 1996.


Telepherique – Stahl und Strahl – CD Lim.500

Waystyx 02

New album of Telepherique, very nicely packed in A5 x-ray films with 6 cd-booklet-like inserts inside. The
music of the album is as diverse as it is common for the project, though it tends to be closer to the early
industrial stuff from the band. This work has very haunting atmosphere, and there are many sound details
inside that would please a heart of any “early German industrial” fan. Recommended.




ACHTUNG BABY


Stahlwerk 9 – Oradour – CD Lim.500

ABCD 04

ribbon.

Angriff Nr. 6

Various Artists – Heilige Feuer II – CD

On December 1st, 2001 the second Heilige Feuer festival was held by Indiestate Distribution in St.
Petersburg. Following the great success of its last year predecessor, the triumph of the second event proved
Heilige Feuer to be the biggest russian industrial feast that tends to become the regular one.
The compilation that was released soon after the first event has become true sound memorial of its
majestic atmosphere. Being a musical remembrance of Heilige Feuer II spirit, this release follows the
tradition of the first compilation, including two exclusive tracks by each band which played that evening,
that were contributed especially for this album.
2012 haunts a listener with their dark ambient structures melted with ritual rhythmic pulsations and mystical
existential sounds, Raison D’Etre brings us their authentic sonic atmospheric reflections of its russian
travel reminding of desolated russian landscapes and decaying city stones, while Cisfinitum futuristic mix of
background subtle melodic nuances and powerful driving upfront noises wakes some associations with cold and
utopian world which is similar to Bad Sector’s lonely universe. Harsh and aggressive tunes of despair from
Ex.Order and angry anthems of Anenzephalia crowns the overall feeling of virtual industrial musical trip to
russian irrational inner essence.
The CD is almost 1 hour long and comes as a digipak with A5 hard cover booklet printed with green and
gold on the deluxe paper that is very similar to the first Heilige Feuer volume. The edition is limited to
1000 copies.

voice passages made with great passion and technically stainless interwoven into the unsettling canvas of
harmonica, percussion and background ambience.

world due to their minor vinyl releases on Hau Ruck! and Drone as well as 10 Years of Madness and Heilige
Feuer compilation appearances. Being the fourth album of the band, Unseen Rituals is their first full-length
CD after well-acclaimed CDR Regno Di Pianta and two tape releases.

Combining layers of delicate noise with voice samples and rhythmical patterns, Reutoff creates unique
atmosphere of despair and anxiety, where sad melodies dip into the pool of cold strained tension. Unseen

Cyclotimia - Metamorphosis - 10"

New release of the Moscow project widely known today for its recent StateArt CD release "Wasteland". This
6-track release continues in the same vein as the above full-length album, but it's less rhythmic and more
deep and meditative, being maybe the most dark and melancholic Cyclotimia release to date. Analogue electronic
layers submerge listener to an atmosphere of uneasy hallucinatory reverie. Subtle clear sound and sad melodies
unite to create the unique mix of cold psychodelia and soulful grief. The release is limited to 300 copies and
comes printed silver on black deluxe paper.

RWCD 10
Na-Dha – Voices Without A Sound – CD
This is a first solo full-length CD of MAGTHEA, the member of now legendary ritual industrial heroes HYBRYDS.
Though not very similar to his worldwide acclaimed ritualistic sound creations, NA-DHA still shows great
musical talents and delicate technical skills that were always MAGTHEA’s distinctive features.
Recorded live during night sessions, VOICES WITHOUT A SOUND submerges a listener into the space of dream-like
images and forms, makes him feel like somnambulist in the full-moon night in some haunted land. Using the
treated voice samples intertwined with ambient and meditative structures, NA-DHA builds an unreal hall of
sound mirrors reflecting different elements of this illusory world. Sometimes frightening, sometimes erotic,
sometimes soothing, sometimes ecstatic - these visions put together the beautiful and unique night-time sound
poetry, which is recommended to anyone that likes enigmatic dream-like mind-traveling.
First edition of the CD comes in a special digipak-like package printed with silver pantone color on
dark-blue stardust deluxe paper.
