WWW.CRUCIALBLASTSHOP.NET
We're back this week with another huge list of new arrivals and
restocks here at the Crucial Blast shop, tons of horror movie
soundtracks, experimental black metal records, power electronics tapes,
extreme prog CDs and tons of other extreme, mind-melting releases from
across the underground spectrum . This month also saw the release of a
number of new Crucial Blast titles that you should check out too,
inclouding new ones from New York avant-prog/black metallers Epistasis,
the electronic/symphonic black metal violence of Cloak Of Altering
(another project from Gnaw Their Tongues mastermind Mories) and the new
reissue of T.O.M.B.'s black industrial nightmare Pennhurst / Xesse,
along with a trio of cassette reissues from the vicious UK noise/PE
outfit Bagman, and a new tape from French-Canadian black
industrial/kosmische drifter Bete Lumineuse...
Naturally, this week's Featured Release is the new album from Cloak Of Altering, which we just released via Crucial Blast. The latest album from this crazed black electronic metal project, Cloak Of Altering features Moriesof Gnaw Their Tongues / Aderlating infamy taking his symphonic black metal and extreme electronic influences and blasting out one of the most chaotic, violent mutations of black metal I've heard. Presented in an eye-burning digipack (and also available digitally), Plague Beasts is one of the most ferocious releases yet from this Dutch maniac, and the first two hundred copies available from Crucial Blast come with a limited edition full-color art zine featuring Mories's distinctive brand of blasphemous, bizarro artwork.
We are also now a primary source for 4iB releases here in the US. This Singapore based label has been releasing some fantastic stuff from within the realm of harsh noise, power electronics, and death industrial, with recent offerings from the classic transgressive UK power electronics duo Sutcliffe Jugend, Japanese junk-noise legend K2, psychedelic noise master Hiroshi Hasegawa (C.C.C.C.), and Hijokaidan member and vocal noise artist Junko. We have the K2 / GX JUPITTER-LARSEN Convulsing Vestibular CD, the dark industrial of the AUTOGEN Mutagen CD, the screeching vocal terror and abstract electronic mayhem of SUTCLIFFE JUGEND and JUNKO's Sans Palatine Uvula, the punishing power electronics of SUTCLIFFE JUGEND's Pursuit Of Pleasure, and the psychedelic harsh noise of HIROSHI HASEGAWA and POSITIVE ADJUSTMENTS's Cryptic Void split CD. All of 4iB's releases are gorgeously presented in high-quality packaging and issued in small numbered editions that collectors of extreme noise/industrial music will covet. Beat the high shipping prices of international orders by picking up these and future 4iB releases right here from Crucial Blast.
