The Diagnostic Dimension Of Axes

"Raven Mocker" 

C40

$4

Caught somewhere between black ambient, noise, and doom, this is a tribute to the Cherokee wizards and witches known as "Raven Mockers" (Kâ'lanû Ahkyeli'skï). 

It presents a dynamic form in the fields of; dark ambient, textural noise, drone, and pounding dark 

psychedelia. 

Presented in 2 parts, most of the music is derived from electric guitar and bass, manipulated to comforting 

levels of darkness in the post-production stage via synthesis and other techniques.

"He flies through the air in fiery shape, with arms outstretched like wings, and sparks trailing behind, and 

a rushing sound like the noise of a strong wind."

Mystery Pill

"Let Me Tell You Why You're Here" 

C62

$5

This is a strange dark journey, elemental and mystic in nature. 

Borderline songs of; folk, doom, sludge, black metal (without the metal), it's not so easy to describe. All three of the band's full-length releases and run of live shows have held it's core of three members with a rotating line-up of guests including a choir of children on what is easily our creepiest track "Rafka Spirit Rise", a 20-minute sludgy dirge that speaks of things such as murder and greasy swine dancing underneath the moon, insanity. 

It only makes sense considering the spontaneous and chaotic nature of the band to end it with a proper release of the first album. Completely re-mixed and re-mastered, a much bolder experience than the ultra-limited CDR that was originally a true mess of conflictingopinions that rubbed off on the sound.

The seemingly pretentious album title is derived from an auditory perception of the final track before it was named. The track actually has no words, just syllables and pronunciations.

Mystery Pill is/was: Christopher Crash: guitars/vox/electronics (a solo acoustic artist and expert DAW operator when I met him), Tony Wyioming: drums/percussion (best known as the former drummer of Minsk), and myself RIP Wynn on guitars/electronics, mostly bass guitar and sound-design (Infirmary, Enemata Prods).Hopefully the three albums that we produced will make it to vinyl and real glass-mastered CD in the future.

Infirmary

"Vacant City" 

C62

$5

Shut in a rotting basement shower, thrashing around in the dark with metal objects being abused into a World War II era tape recorder. Source ran through effects pedals and layered in an analog 8-track since 2004, this tape has been in the works for almost 9 years now.
A tribute to the Peoria State Hospital, art made from old newspaper articles that came out in 1977. The music reflects the building's physical vacancy and it's haunted history is now known worldwide thanks to TV reality shows (fuck off). Dwell in the collisions and undercurrents.

Akashah

"Cromleach" 

C62

$5

Akashah; a blazing, ethereal black metal project, never ceases to rip my head off live or divinate the imagination. 

Thurisaz (also of Veil and Somnolence) heads up the band, playing 

guitar through bass cabs and utilizing a distinctive mid-range 

growl that cuts through the mix with precision and distinguishment.

Beginning with a black ambient invocation and ending with a live 

version of the ripping title track, this is a unique and visceral 

album.

Goghal

"Wound Healing" 

C40

$4

Goghal, a noise project from Belgium, born of a brutal motorcycle accident, has brought contemporary HNW (Harsh Noise Wall) fans an impressive offering that's sure to please the most discriminating static connoisseurs.   

Here, dark noise crackles with heavy, dense rumblings.
It shifts into sputtering, broken jags, then rises again as earth-shaking coma-textures. 

The operator (Nico Goethals) is in complete control of the weather here, as demonstrated by the well-placed movements and massive sound structure.

The music floats between genres perhaps best described in these elements: haunted reverberations, vocoded rock, harsh noise wall, drone guitar, black ambient, dark noise, object abuse, old industrial, demonic growls, weeping cello, depressive piano, mystic-synth, radio-wave manipulation, shoegaze, harsh noise, and bleakened tribal-scapes.

Originally released in extremely limited quantity on CDR and sold only at local shows or in the distribution section when available.

"Moon Village" 

C62

$5

Moon Village is a complex and stimulating album. Full of various textures, drones, psychedelics, loops, etc...Everything that makes for great noise music in this style. It's done very cohesively and flows radiantly like electricity dipped in water, or a piece of foil put in the microwave.

 Melodies arise and fall into dissonant harmonics, rumbles, and precision crackles.

Infirmary/Taskmaster

"Chosen From The Ashes" C62

$5

Taskmaster delivers a fierce live set of harsh noise! Crackling, screaming electronic feedback weaves in and out of itself as static textures and heavy bass-tones roll around in thick undercurrents surrounding the aggressive performance. A top track from one of Canada's finest. 
 I'm very proud to be releasing this piece of top-notch HN. 

On "Daemonium Umbra", Infirmary chose a thick wall of blackest HNW.  Heavy as possible without killing the peaks, this piece is a writhing object of doomed-out rumble and fuzz. Dedicated to the phenomenon of  "Shadow People", this structure of darkness is constructed minimally and uncompromisingly to the mood and aura of what an old tribe referred to as "The Hooded Ones".

Griz+zlor
Self-Titled 
C40
$4

A white-wash of pure, aggressive, blackened HNW from one of the more devout and reclusive practitioners of the genre. 
Tonally, a very warm set of compositions that paint flowing tides of shifting static waves and gripping undercurrents that completely obliterate the thought process, much like deep meditation. 
Griz+zlor's obsession with collecting rare variations of the Muff pedal and other analog gear is no secret. You are invited into his cave to freely explore it's depth.

Paranoid Time/Rusalka/Infirmary
"Drill The Invisible Body" C40
$4

  Rusalka's bruta-ritualistic use of her burning theremin combines with Paranoid Time's affection for   distortion pedals named after rodents as junk objects clash violently in the background of the assault,   throwing an ever-spinning drillbit of harsh noise into the listener'sskull. B-side is a re-working of   the same track, the surgeon being Infirmary who affectively obliterates the piece into waves of heaviest 
  hellfire derived from analog delay and flame-throwers.

Enbilulugugal/Gnashing Of Teeth 
"Rites ov The Blakk Goat ov The Woods with a Thousand Young​..." 
C40
$4 

  Absolutely ripping black noise mayhem, both bands bring their own form of relentless shredded  feedback-laden black metal/harsh noise  audio. 

Infernos of tortured wails and shrieks over extremely aggressive music for the sickened few.
 Every track runs directly into the next giving a feel as if it were all recorded live in a state of extreme visceral madness.

"Hope Has Abandoned Us"
 C40
$4 

Wonderful drone/ambient music, elegantly crafted and nicely composed. Both pieces take the attentive listener deep into warm worlds of synth and organic sounds haunted by distant field recordings and angelic mists, progressively leading into saunas of warm white-washes that rise and fall, dense sound and beautiful yet bleak ceremonial compositions. 

Wither into oblivion.

Review (by Black Metal and Brews)

Mystery Pill

"Crystal Mirrors and Powdered Glass" 
C62

$5

Third full-length from the band, here we have a set of songs that range from instrumental black-western rock, to dirty garage industrial, Hawkwind-esque psychedelic freak-outs, and melancholic experimental compositions.
A voyage into altered states of mind and dark chemistry that spews strange words of wisdom and a multitude of sounds.

Mystery Pill
"Dance The Ghost" 
C62
$5

When the frail chemistry of such a trio combines into a solid form of aesthetic opposites, 
melancholic droned out ghost-rock stares blinded through eyes born of stone into a blood-filled glass once full of merlot. In vivid opium dreams, the drawn-out chant vocals are embraced by soulful backups that help transpose the night. Held down by detailed Eastern percussion and thick, repetitive bass, this is a doomed-out journey with a unique aura and smooth smooth vocals.
