| CHAIGIDEL & NERATERRÆ “Lamaštu” CD (181st Cycle) Italy’s CHAIGIDEL and NERATERRÆ have joined forces and created a deeply evocative ritualistic opus rich in various aural elements and sceneries. The title “Lamaŝtu” pays tribute to the Mesopotamian mythological malevolent goddess, the most terrible of all female demons, daughter of the sky god Anu and lover of Pazuzu.CHAIGIDEL is Mattia Giovanni Accinni, devoted to the most evocative side of music; sonic offerings for Qliphotic rituals from the depths of occultism and the left-hand path. On his fourth release on Cyclic Law, Alessio Antoni’s NERATERRÆ joins compatriot CHAIGIDEL on this trance-like-state inducing aural experience, seeking for knowledge by unearthing the roots of all evil.Black mantras, organic drones, tuvan throat singing, tibetan bells, doumbek, balaban, maaponim, shofar and ritual drums are the earthly tools chosen to cut through the soil of human beliefs and comprehension, and to reach for the purest and obscure states of being.CD Edition of 300 copies in 6 panel Digipak, matt lamination. 8 Tracks. Running Time 57:49 EAN: 0679628554235Written, produced and recorded by Mattia Giovanni Accinni and Alessio Antoni. Mixed by Mattia Giovanni Accinni.

| TROUM & RAISON D’ÊTRE “De Aeris In Sublunaria Influxu” 2LP (113th Cycle) First time on Vinyl, presented in Gatefold Sleeve on Double LP. Originally released in 2015 and carefully forged between 2011 and 2014, “De Aeris In Sublunaria Influxu” showcases a magically crafted alchemical wedding between these two titans of drone ambient.Troum navigates through cavernous, subterranean spaces where cyclical sounds reverberate towards impressive crescendos of icy noise, luminous drones and dramatic, guitar-driven ghostly melodies. Their truly unique soundscapes shine in a perfect symbiotic movement with the Swedish dark ambient maestro Peter Andersson. Engulfed in a hauntingly beautiful kaleidoscope of grey-ish melancholia, raison d’être comfortably walks deeply into Troum’s vast territory, delivering his very own trademark of eerie tones, ominous sacral ambience and crystal clear constructions. Airy lush enigmatic atmospheres live together with dark breathing, reverberant transformative drones. Rich and gorgeously layered.All sounds assembled and recorded by raison d’être (Peter Andersson) and Troum (Stefan Knappe, Martin Gitschel) between 2011-2014. All sounds processed, manipulated and structured by Peter Andersson 2011-2014. K-14 level mastering by Peter Andersson 2014.

With hints of classic Death Industrial and a unique cover version of Brighter Death Now’s classic track “Necroses Evangelicum”, Johan Levin exposes a new facet of his expanding discography.

Wolfs-Head: Óðinn, The Ecstatic God of Tethers and Skin-Turning.
Volume II of the ‘Óðinn Trilogy’ within the Northern Otherworld Series.
By Shani Oates“As a transpersonal state, berserkergangr has attracted a host of theories that attempt to explain or rationalise it as a drug-induced frenzy, or insanity. Too few studies are open to the possibility of an enhanced state of spiritual intoxication, of ‘god possession.’ Being an ecstatic madness, that dedication to an extreme warrior code is more akin to the mysterious disciplines of the east that demand, privation, ordeal and self-sacrifice. It is the path of the zealot, the hero and the priest combined.”

The Search for Óðinn: From Pontic Steppe to Sutton Hoo
(Volume III of the Óðinn Trilogy within the Northern Otherworld Series)
by Shani OatesÓðinn has been scandalised and deified in equal measure by medieval churchmen, demonising pre-Christian beliefs, and more recently by the romantic idealists and nationalists of the 20th Century, who glamorised them, to the extent that the genuine historical persona of this popular figure is saturated in complex, confusing mythology. Poetic kennings and riddles tease out our deductive processes, pushing beyond rational, logistic exploration to evoke our apprehension of the Other.
