• Artist: Twinsistermoon Title: Then Fell the Ashes... Format: LP Label: Blackest Rainbow (UK) Price: $29.00 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_blackest_Twinsistermoon "Blackest Rainbow - UK £15.00 / Europe £16.00 / USA & ROW £19.00 Brand new full length vinyl LP from Natural Snow Buildings' Mehdi Ameziane's solo project. This is the third vinyl release from Twinsistermoon since last summer's The Hollow Mountain LP and Bride of Spirits 7" which were both released on the excellent Dull Knife label. Following on from these two gems, as well as various obscure self released discs and CDs on Digitalis and Students of Decay, Ameziane's sound has grown somewhat darker at times with this brand new LP featuring nearly 50 minutes of new material. The A side features 6 tracks, where as the B side is a huge almost 25 minute track. The opening track 'Black Nebulae' is a gorgeously textured psychedelic drone based piece, followed by a short, quieter, guitar plucked piece with vocals, but no words entitled '1976'. 'Ghost That Was Your Life' is a stunning beautiful layered guitar piece with Ameziane's astounding beautiful vocals shining through. 'Big Sand' opens as one of the darker pieces, with an occult feeling to its sound, swirling vocal drones, almost like a choir at times, and in come those stunning warm and distinctive gutar sounds with layered ghostly sound scapes, that haunt much of Ameziane's solo and NSB recordings. Half way through this track it fades into layered field recordings, drones, and distant chimes, the sound of this track at this point just has a real melancholy vintage sound, the last two minutes are again a change of sound with a slow plucking of guitar strings. 'Desert Prophecy' returns of the sound of just Ameziane and his guitar, with some lo-fi electric riffing distrotion in the background. Its pretty incredible to hear this and think that its from 2010, and not from the 60s or 70s. The sixth and final track on the first side is 'Trailer', another beautiful somewhat lighter folk sound, which is interesting considering the following is the albums title track 'Then The Ashes Fell', a side long track which is a considerably darker and heavier than much of the rest of the LP, but it weaves in some beautiful lighter more reflective moments. Heavyweight vinyl housed in deluxe heavy thick card tip on jackets. Edition of 979."

• Artist: Guanaco Title: Sky Burials Format: LP Label: Blackest Rainbow (UK) Price: $10.00 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_blackest_Guanaco "Debut LP from England's Lex Panayi who also plays in Beggin' Your Pardon Miss Joan, this however is his solo project, which focuses on psychedelic acid drenched folk and dark grey area drones for a monolith landscape. The whole records blends beautifully together to create an excellent album from a relatively unknown artist. This is one fine example of current underground UK music which I'm really pleased to be releasing. This is a must for fans of early Six Organs of Admittance, Cam Deas, Voice of the Seven Woods and such... Paste on cover and insert, edition of only 300."

• Artist: Tumul Title: writing in tongues Format: CDR Label: Carbon Records Price: $8.00 Catalog ID: CR195 two tracks (32+ minutes total) of live Tumul madness. each track a complete set. vocal drones and pattern, electronic wizardry, etc. an auditory rival to their live, very visual, sets. [originally release with a plywood and plaster mount, but these are simple flat-package versions. black and white print in heavy vinyl sleeve)

• Artist: Tumul Title: riding96 Format: CD Label: Carbon Records Price: $5.00 Catalog ID: CR196 one track, 16+ minutes. recorded during an actual drive, while driving, on route 96 in upstate/western NY from Rochester to Ithaca. direct recording of electronics, drum machine, vocals, wind, bumps and more. amazing dense and loud, and abrasive (in a good way)

• Artist: Burnt Hills Title: Alpha Seven Format: CDR Label: Carbon Records Price: $8.00 Catalog ID: CR186 This is the eighth release in the Carbon 15YR.Series. 60+ minutes of psyched out jam vibrations from this Albany NY ensemble. [packaged with pro-printed covers in a heavy duty vinyl sleeve]

• Artist: Dylan Nyoukis Title: The Curious March of the Goat Faced Format: CDR Label: Carbon Records Price: $8.00 Catalog ID: CR187 This is the ninth release in the Carbon 15YR.Series. 1 second under 60 minutes of vocal experiments, field recordings, sound collage, synth space effects, string arrangements and more. [packaged with pro-printed covers in a heavy duty vinyl sleeve]

• Artist: Taiga Remains / RV Paintings Title: split LP Format: LP Label: Blackest Rainbow (UK) Price: $15.00 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_Blackest_Taiga_RV "Two of America's finest drone acts come together for this split LP. Taiga Remains is Student of Decay's master mind Alex Cobb project, if you ain't picked up his new disc on Digitalis 'Wax Canopy' yet, go get it, it is one of the best drone releases I have heard in a long time! The 15 minute track on this is new split LP is entitled 'Mengku From Mengsa'. Opening with far off chimes upon chimes, this leads to pure bliss dream zones, rather than the more intense material on the aforementioned Wax Canopy. This is a fantastic piece of drone work, layered to create some beautiful zoning out in the mind. RV Paintings is the project of Brian Pyle of the almighty psychedelia legends Starving Weirdos, along with his brother Jon Pyle, and Spencer Doran, who also plays under the name of Cloaks. This is an amazing track, kinda darker and bleaker than the Weirdos vibe, with some totally awesome free percussion playing central to the piece, this is hard to top in the drone game. A totally solid slab of sound from both acts. Limited to 400 copies featuring a pasted on 8" x 8" black and white art on lilac paper (and an insert) by Jefre Cantu of Root Strata."

• Artist: Our Love Will Destroy The World Title: Fucking Dracula Clouds Format: LP Label: Blackest Rainbow (UK) Price: $22.00 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_Blackest_OurLove "Stunning new LP from Campbell Knele's post Birchville Cat Motel project. Continues with the vibes set on his superb LP for Dekorder, total psychedelic filth noise. Two side long heavy pieces of gushing electric destruction, one sound lurches in and tears down another one, which it rebuilds an even more ferocious version of the original sound. Limited to 400 copies in pro printed wrap around sleeve on 400gsm silk card."

• Artist: Heavy Winged Title: the thinner the air Format: CASS Label: Blackest Rainbow (UK) Price: $7.00 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_Blackest_HeavyWinged "Very pleased to announce that after much ongoing talk between me and the band, Blackest Rainbow will be issuing the very first Heavy Winged cassette. A total beast from this cross country American trio of Ryan, Jed and Brady recorded just after a 4 day east coast tour in November 2007 at Ryan's house in Vermont. The music switches between pure heavy repetitive riffing, drum kit massacre and shredding bass to more melancholy weird minimal bits, which actually co-inside with the last jam the band did before parting ways across the map. Nevertheless, this is another totally amazing and essential release from one of my favourite bands around right now. Limited to 200. Pro-dubbed cassettes."

• Artist: George Cartwright and Davu Seru Title: Rag Format: LP Label: roaratorio Price: $19.00 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_ROAR19 "Rag captures the best from a series of freely improvised meetings between saxophonist George Cartwright and percussionist Davu Seru, recorded at various Minneapolis venues over the course of 2009. Cartwright – longtime leader of Curlew, and owner of a musical c.v. which includes Ornette Coleman, Half Japanese, Alex Chilton and Loren Mazzacane – can be restlessly melodic or jaggedly guttural on the reeds, although his bedrock lyricism is never far from the surface. Seru’s playing is a trompe l’oreille marriage of forward motion and suspended stasis; over the past decade, he’s performed with Milo Fine, Paul Metzger and Evan Parker, among others. From the anthemic opening of “Titus” to the miniature coda of “I Think Eudora Knows,” Rag is a lively dialogue between two masters of their craft. Released in an edition of 300 copies on colored vinyl, each with a unique cover print by Anne Elias and a digital download coupon."

• Artist: Stone Baby Title: if English is good enough for jesus, then its good enough for me Format: CDR Label: Carbon Records Price: $8.00 Catalog ID: CR185 This is the seventh release in the Carbon 15YR.Series. 40+ minutes of guitar, effects, violin, synth and vocals. textured drones, ghostly vocalizations, keyboard swells and progressions. this is quite a collection of tracks from this geographically challenged duo (WesternNY/US and Germany) [packaged with pro-printed covers in a heavy duty vinyl sleeve]

• Artist: Monarch! Title: Mer Morte Format: CD Label: Crucial Blast Price: $10.00 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_CBR82 "Yeah, this was supposed to come out ages ago, but a variety of impediments stalled it's release until now. The Crucial Blast release of Mer Morte is finally freakin' out, though, and I gotta say, it looks and sounds just as great as the previous Monarch collection on C-Blast, Dead Men Tell No Tales. If you've been following Crucial Blast for a while, you probably already know all about Monarch, the extreme slow-motion sludge/doom band from France who plays so slow, so glacially, that Decibel said in their review of Mer Morte that "even at their fastest, Monarch! sound dead". They ain't kiddin'. Monarch's previous releases pushed the envelope on just how slow and miserable and anguished one band can sound, but here their crawling black drones and tectonic doom rumble seems to actually be decaying. If you're looking for some big, fat riffs to bite into, this isn't the place to look. Like our previous Monarch release Dead Men Tell No Tales, Mer Morte is a reissue of a vinyl release that came out on the Spanish label Throne Records, this one from back in 2008. The Lp featured the monolithic track "Mer Morte" split into two halves across the two sides of vinyl; now, most Monarch fans find it pretty hard to not lust after their vinyl releases, which are all beautifully packaged and always super-limited, but it's also cool to hear the song uninterrupted, to hear it unfurl it's rotting black wings in it's entirety without pause, which is why we wanted to make this available on disc. And it's truly gargantuan sounding on this re-issue. “Mer Morte” is a single unbroken thirty-four minute sludge-and-feedback feast that sprawls out even further into the dismal black void that these French doom junkies have been lurking in for the past six years. As with previous releases, Monarch move through massive blackened tar pits of low-end riff and sheets of gluey feedback that are stretched out into monolithic slabs of sound across "Mer Morte", a grim, glacial ultra-doom monolith that crawls at a saurian sub-tempo. It's the most droning, static, deathly doomdrone that Monarch have so far released, not really that propulsive, certainly very little of anything that you could call a "groove", but instead just floating, decaying and corrupted, massive rumbling crush hovering in a sea of yawning blackness. And vocalist Emilie sounds as gaunt and ghostly as ever, her vocalizations materializing across the spatial doomscape as distant ululating wails, breathy whispers, and putrid death shrieks, at times disappearing almost completely into the black fug for minutes at a time, or lurking as a hushed lullaby whisper way off on the edges of the crushing subterranean thrum. At the same time, this disc captures the band at their most formless and distended, with long sections of droning buzz where the band collapses into waves of pure amp-rumble and minimalist percussion, smoldering black clouds of ghostly cooing vocals and howling feedback drone, and eerie tectonic melodies...definitely one of their most extreme and dismal slabs of doom yet, more ambient drone than doom really, but still completely CRUSHING. And once again, we've worked with the artisan printers at Stumptown Printers to create the packaging for this Monarch disc, presenting Mer Morte in a black offset-printed jacket with gold metallic printing and more artwork from Monarch's Michell. Might have taken awhile, but the wait was worth it!"

• Artist: Trees Title: Freed of this Flesh Format: CD Label: Crucial Blast Price: $10.00 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_CBR83 "The mysterious Portland ensemble Trees return with their second offering on Crucial Blast, Freed Of This Flesh, with two new fetid death rituals scraped from the crypt. Each of these tracks averages around fourteen minutes, an extended death-rattle formed from black glacial riffs suspended in space, tectonic percussive rumbles, anguished shrieks of torment and abject suffering, deep guttural demon-toad throat singing, and endless sheets of glistening metallic feedback that spill and drift to the far edges of their extreme time-stretched ambient doom, a crumbling, blighted majesty, noxious ambient blackdoom adrift on putrescent tides. The wretched vocal effluvium creeps formlessly across austere slabs of crushing heaviness arranged into ghoulish constructs of atmospheric dread, moving so slow that the music seems to lose all sense of propulsion at times, becoming lost in a fog of howling amplifiers and buzzing feedback, the guitars stretched into massive decomposing drones, the spaces between infested with controlled bursts of drums that skitter and rumble, almost "jazzy" in a vague sort of way, but still incredibly slow and ponderous. Freed Of This Flesh inhabits the same sort of black-tar depths as the likes of Burning Witch, Monarch, Khanate, and Bunkur while stripping the slo-mo heaviness into their own twisted, skeletal configuration."

• Artist: Fistula Title: Goat Format: CD Label: Crucial Blast Price: $10.00 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_CBR84 "Ohio is rotting. Fistula once again team up with Crucial Blast to deliver another heavy dose of their septic, filthy, lumbering death-sludge in the form of Goat, a five-song Ep of low-fi and low-end nihilistic filth and rabies-laced caveman thrash with songs based on the ghoulish discovery and subsequent investigation of the eleven decomposing bodies found in the Cleveland home of Anthony Sowell in the Autumn of 2009. This new disc delivers more of the pulverizing, slime-covered sludge and primitive death metal rot that these Buckeye barbarians have been carving out in the back of Medina garages over the past ten years, continuing to follow in the coagulated blood tracks of Frost, Autopsy and Winter, but filtered through Fistula's uniquely mangled and inebriated scum-haze and utterly negatory worldview. "

• Artist: Family Treasures + Hunted Creatures Title: split C20 Format: CASS Label: 905 Tapes (USA) Price: $6.00 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_905.104 "d. moore appropriates the outer limits synth/electronic mind wipe on the family treasures end. serious layers of sharp bites and wavering tones build and build and build. r. emmett brings the soothing, glacial chill-out moments blending mega deluxe drones with market place percussion and ultra slim, glitchy rhythms. it's like your brain is stuck in a rainbow. taste the rainbow."
