BOMB THE DAY NURSERY - Primitive Perversions 1981-83
Pre order

BOMB THE DAY NURSERY
Primitive Perversions 1981-83

Primitive Perversions” was released as a 4LP boxset documenting the early tape experiments of Roger Karmanik done under the name Bomb the Daynursery, and others. The project precedes his work with Lille Roger, Brighter Death Now & Cold Meat Industry. This is the reworked 3CD versions with 45 tracks and a total play time over 3 hours.


Dating back to the perverted teen hood of 1980 where experimenting with expressions began, visuals and soon also sounds. Tape loops, cut-ups, found objects, radio frequencies, vocals. Whatever was at hand and could be used as sonic weaponry. We can easily recognise the roots of what became the notorious sound of both Lille Roger and BDN. Sourced from unearthed mouldy cassettes buried underneath layers of well-thumbed seedy porno mags & shredded true crime periodicals. Despite forty years having passed since these electronic ejaculations were caught on tape, “Primitive Perversions” has aged with dignity. This is both a unique historical document of early industrial music as well a reminder of the fact that Karmanik has never compromised or weakened in his anarchic artistic vision, constancy and cruel passion.

ARCANA - Magna Silentia
Pre order

ARCANA
Magna Silentia

With Magna Silentia Arcana have gone full circle. Thirty years ago their debut on Cold Meat Industry raised a few eyebrows. On a label mostly known for various flavors of harsh, industrial electronics exploring themes of death and destruction, the neoclassical music of Arcana instead opted to embrace medieval virtues of chivalry and nobleness. A youthful Peter Bjärgö led his group on a victorious crusade, conquering audiences wherever they showed up. But after changes in lineup and record labels, the last album proper only came out in 2012. Besides reforming for a few special festival events, Arcana have remained dormant ever since while Bjärgö focused on releasing music in his own name.

Fast forward to 2026. This year sees Arcana reconnecting with CMI for Magna Silentia, their most profoundly personal album to date. While in the past the music has featured contrasting elements of light and darkness, the new album falls squarely on the dark side. What started as a project for a choral requiem slowly became a song cycle when instrumentations such as strings and percussion seeped into the compositions. In the wake of the loss of daughter Vendela, Magna Silentia turned into a mournful epitaph dealing with grief and the sacrosanct nature of existence. No more is this evident than in the incredibly moving elegy “You Are Still With Me”. What remains of a person who is no longer here? A lot! Magna Silentia stands testament to this.

BIANCA - Bianca (3RD press)
Pre order

BIANCA
Bianca (3RD press)

After the unexpected success of the first & second presses, here comes a 3rd press in Smoke, black on clear vinyl

BIANCA is an exploration steeped in the subversive fire of black metal, with a penchant for doom and atmospheric resonances, centered around a female identity that spans different dimensions, from an ethereal presence to a primal rawness.

The music was born in 2024 with a series of demos composed by β and Ͷ. ES (from Hideous Divinity and Patristic) stepped in, shapeshifting the songs and giving the band a new form. Sathrath (Nocturnal Depression) joined the final recording sessions with his thunderous black metal touch.

BIANCA's first self-titled album is an enigmatic eight-step journey into the power of the human mind and the unconscious dimension as a messenger of precious insights for interpreting reality. A deep dive into the non-material aspects of human life and their transformative potential. No idea of religion, but a radical atheist and humanistic stance within the musical language of black metal, merging melodic nuances in an atmospheric embrace. A sorrowful struggle runs through the veins of BIANCA’s music, chilling to the core, yet captivating and transporting the listener to uncertainty.

MY DYING BRIDE
Like Gods of the Sun (30th Anniversary)

My Dying Bride has been one of the foremost & consistent leading lights in doom metal since their debut album "As The Flower Withers" was released on Peaceville Records back in 1992. Influenced by acts such as Celtic Frost & Candlemass, the band's heavy atmospherics have carved a huge worldwide following over the years to stand at the pinnacle of the genre, & remain one of the most instantly distinguishable metal bands.

My Dying Bride released three albums & as many EP's before launching the massive opus ‘Like Gods Of The Sun’ in 1996, as the band’s popularity was hitting a high point in the wake of successful touring with fellow British Metal heroes Iron Maiden on the back of the previous breakthrough release, the equally revered ‘The Angel & The Dark River’. Upon release, ‘Like Gods Of The Sun’ became a huge hit among the world's metal press & fans alike, further cementing My Dying Bride’s legacy as one of the UK’s most accomplished & important extreme metal acts, with their perfected style of gothic doom evolving into a streamlined & impactful combination of tracks to stunning effect.

‘Like Gods Of The Sun’ was recorded at the infamous Academy Studios (Paradise Lost, Anathema) in Yorkshire, UK, with long-time producer, Mags.

This special 30th anniversary edition of 'Like Gods Of The Sun' features a new half-speed audio master, & is presented on limited "Lagoon" vinyl.
