MOON FAR AWAY – Minnesang
CD / Ahnstern 45 12.90 eur
brilliant new album by Russia’s most famous Folk band!
Since the release of their now-classic Russian neofolk album “BELOVODIE” five years ago, MOON FAR AWAY has proved its status of the
“band of influence” in the current Russian scene, as well as the title of one of the most respected Russian groups abroad. The band’s cult
following includes both dark folk, neofolk and folk metal fans and the gothic and neoclassic audience. It is because of this wide audience that
MFA’s new album, which has long been promoted by independent media, will undoubtedly become one of 2010 most anticipated releases.
“MINNESANG” is an album of 21st century ritual music encased in a unique fusion of the most diverse and zeitgeist-capturing musical styles,
from neofolk and post punk to practically future pop. All these facets of contemporary music blend seamlessly in the unparalleled sound of
MOON FAR AWAY’s probably most polystylistic, yet internally deeply conceptual and person-centered album of the group. The theme of the
album, the deep-rooted feminine archetypes in contemporary art, is embodied in the title, which identifies a genre of medieval knight lyrics.
At the same time, most of the original Russian-language lyrics on the album are drenched with the trademark Pomor flavors, emphasizing
the pride that the band’s has always taken in its cultural roots that extend deep into the epic traditions of the Russian North. All of this makes
the term “pop album” that the band itself uses in reference to “MINNESANG” a pure art-provocation. MFA’s new album consists of 12 tracks,
all of which may well become (and some of which have already become, thanks to the band’s concert performances and pieces recorded on
international collection CDs) hits and anthems. “MINNESANG” is a puzzle, a rebus that took years to create and will take much more than a
cursory listen to solve. It is a new milestone achieved by a cult group who already gave contemporary art scene a number of discoveries
and revelations.
“Minnesang” was also released in Russia at the same time by SHADOWPLAY. the Ahnstern-version has partly different artwork,
infos in latin letters and the last song is completely different to the Russian version.

ATOMTRAKT – Sperrstelle Nordost
CD in digipack / Steinklang SK52 12.90 eur
definitely one of the best and most powerful Martial-Industrial-Neoclassic albums EVER!!!
listen to the samples below and you will aggree!
Two years after the highly acclaimed „Nuklearchetyp“ album the mighty ATOMTRAKT are finally back with a new release which is entitled
„Sperrstelle Nordost“. Without exaggerating, this new opus will set new standards in the Apocalyptic / Martial Industrial scene: Words like
“bombastic”, “martial”, “heroic” or “militant” definitely need to be re-defined. The atmosphere of “Sperrstelle Nordost” is threatening and cold.
It leads the listener back to times of war (WW II and Cold War) and truly hits like an atomic bomb. Cold, heroic and atmospheric synthesizer
layers are mixed with bombastic drums and military war-like rhythm patterns. The vocals on the new record vary from dark and clean to
distorted and threatening. “Sperrstelle Nordost” is a conceptual album dealing with the situation of Switzerland in the 2nd world war / cold war.
“Sperrstell Nordost” is an area in Switzerland which was of national importance for the entire country during times of war. The overall sound
of the album is powerful and quite bombastic – it spreads a superior and mighty atmosphere rarely heard before. The lyrics deal with fears,
death, decay and ambiguity. When listening to this sophisticated album, you can find yourself at the border fighting for your country. The
album itself never gets boring. This is due to the variety of songs and themes. The sporadic use of acoustic guitars sounds very interesting
and even brings the songs to another level. The last track of the album (“Trauermarsch”) has a pretty psychedelic touch and sounds like if
soldiers walk through deserted snow-covered battlefields. The album features a superb video clip for “Trauermarsch” and is available in a
6-panel DIGIPAK. It was mastered at Luftschutzkerker in Switzerland. The album is also available in a deluxe metal box including barbed
wire, old Swiss military badges, bullet casings, T-Shirt, sticker and 3 postcards. The boxset is limited to 100 copies only.

FRÄKMÜNDT – Urbärglieder
CD in digipack with booklet / Percht 15 12.90 eurincredible Alpine Folk Band from Switzerland – STURMPERCHT and VINTERRIKET-members!
After the highly acclaimed demo tape “Losid vo Bärge ond Tal”, the FRÄKMÜNDT debut album “Urbärglieder” is released on Steinklang/
Percht: “Urbärglieder” is the amazing and unique debut CD of the Swiss Ur-Folk project FRÄKMÜNDT which was born out of the idea to
revive old sagas and nearly forgotten songs and atmospheres of the alpine regions of Switzerland. Performed in alemannic central-Swiss
dialect, the songs on “Urbärglieder” simulate a journey through landscapes and sagas of the quaint regions of Switzerland. They let you
chase through stormwinds with the wild hunt at mount Pilatus or stroll under the paintings of the danse macabre over the Spreuerbridge in
Lucerne. One can meet the devil in the Schöllenen gorge and follow the alpine herdsmen during their sad walk down to the valleys in autumn.
The album is alternated by two sound-accentuated sagas and two atmospheric pieces, letting one share the horrors of the ghost-house in
Stans and the mythical ambiance inside the Mondmilchloch cave. On “Urbärglieder”, acoustic guitars, accordion, violin, flutes and various
percussion instruments generate melancholic melodies full of nostalgia, but also rousing hymns which invite to dance. The album is very
diverse and never gets boring. Without exaggerating, this is truly something new which was never heard before: Ur-Folk at its best!
FRÄKMÜNDT is definitely the originator of this sound. The album has a playing time of 67 minutes and it was mastered at Luftschutzkerker/
Switzerland. FRÄKMÜNDT features cz of STURMPERCHT / DÂNNÂGÔISCHD / VINTERRIKET / ATOMTRAKT / NEBELKORONA etc. It is
available in a deluxe DIGIPAK with 16-pages booklet and also as limited wooden box including a sticker, a t-shirt, a glass of Mondmilch, a
jigger, stones from mount Pilatus and a small book of old Swiss sagas. With “Urbärglieder” a varied piece of extraordinary Ur-Folk music
was born, telling with lots of heart’s blood and in its very own way the stories that are about to be forgotten.

CD in digipack / Steinklang SKD27 12.90 eur
great NeoFolk album featuring (ex)members of CAWATANA, STURMAST and SCIVIAS!
“Now will you believe?” is a brilliant mix of classical guitar-based NeoFolk with electronic elements, varied and assembled with droning Ritual/Dark-Ambient tracks.
the mix of two completely different styles in music makes this album to a outstanding new milestone of “crossovers”. Dark and sometimes frightening soundscapes with samples, trumpets and haunting drums are compiled with beautiful harps, piano, violin and narrating vocals, rounded by fine NeoClassical elements.

ALLERSEELEN – Rauhe Schale CD
CD in digipack with booklet / Ahnstern 44 / Aorta 13 – 12,90 eur
brandnew album! raw Industrial-Folk featuring members of BLOOD AXIS, ELUVEITIE and SVARROGH!
The Austrian group Allerseelen is, two years after their successful cd release Hallstatt, back with a brand-new album that fascinates musically as well as optically:
Rauhe Schale (Rough Shell) is the title of the opus that was released some days ago. Already the first sight into the beautiful booklete of the digipack production on
Ahnstern shows that this cd differs in various parts from its precursors: Allerseelen, live having been for a long time with various members performing in many cities in
North America, Europe and Russia, has been nevertheless in the studio almost a solo-project by its founder Gerhard Hallstatt, assisted from time to time by various guest
musicians. This has changed now, now Allerseelen is also in the studio a real group with electronics, bass, electric guitar and drums. On several pieces there are also
contributions by two well-known violinists from the world of neo-folk and folk metal. Apart from Dimo Dimov who not only drums but also plays electric guitar on some songs
and the bassist Marcel P., Allerseelen this time also features the two violinists Meri Tadic – from the Swiss folk metal band Eluveitie – and Annabel Lee, the violinist of the
American formation Blood Axis who also released some weeks ago a new cd.
Still it is not easy to describe the style of Allerseelen – everything moves and flows in a field of force between industrial, metal, folklore and pop. Lovers of bands like
Nine Inch Nails, Einstürzende Neubauten, Laibach or Underworld could also fall in love with Allerseelen. On Rauhe Schale there are various songs with a powerful metal
atmosphere with electronic, industrial recordings – some minutes later one may discover again a song that sounds more like dark pop. Gerhard Hallstatt sometimes describes
his music as Electronic Folklore or Apocalyptic Rock. But basically there is no real description for Allerseelen – all attempts to find an expression for their music may be valid
for some time, yet lose their meaning after a couple of months or years.
The cd Rauhe Schale sounds like its title – the music is rough, tough, hard like already the last album Hallstatt that received enthusiastic feedback
due to its fascinating combination of electronic beats and strings and some compositions reminding in some way of Black Metal.
The songs were inspired by various magical mystery tours in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy and Slovenia. They were recorded and mixed in 2009 at Haus zur
letzten Latern, Dungeon Studio (Rhenania), Luftschutzkerker and Vitosha Studio 4. The Mastering took place at Luftschutzkerker in March 2010: www.luftschutzkerker.com

PHASE II – Afterglow CD
CD in digipack with booklet / Ahnstern 29 – 12,90 eur
fantastic Progressive/Psychedelic album in early-70ies-style – PHASE II is Nicholas Tesluk from CHANGES!
It has been a little over thirty years since the inception and all-too-brief life span of Phase II, the progressive-folk band founded by Mark Andrews (Blue Grass) and Nicholas Tesluk
(Changes). Since that time, only the five selections on their self-titled, blue vinyl, extended-play record (and a handful of songs featured in recent anthology appearances) have
found an audience outside of the venues where the group performed live during their original three-year tenure. That is about to change!
As the pièce de résistance of Phase II’s artistic career to date, the band’s new album Afterglow has arrived, introducing modern listeners to their unique and timeless mixture of
varied musical stylings. Included in this expansive release are six songs from their original repertoire – in some cases, songs only rehearsed, but never before performed in any
venue – all recorded here for the very first time. As a special reprise, all of the songs from the blue vinyl record (now long out-of-print) have been enhanced and included on the
Afterglow album. And to bring things full-circle, Phase II is also proud to present a recording of its first all-new song of the twenty-first century on this compact disc.
To round out an already-generous Phase II presentation, the album concludes with “Candle in the Night,” their complete pre-progressive, conceptual radio program from 1978
(two songs of which were included on 2004’s Tonwerk Flammenzauber 2 CD). The Afterglow package includes an attractive booklet featuring full lyrics, as well as an
anecdotal history of the band in text and photos.
Whether during their “folk duo” period, or as a full progressive band, the original warmth of the music of Phase II was felt all-too-briefly and by all-too-few. Afterglow is a
comprehensive retrospective of their original songs. Now that Nicholas and Mark have reunited in this “Digital Age”, may it also provide a launch pad for exciting new works to come.

STORMFAGEL – Eldvakt CD
CD in digipak / Steinklang – 12,90 eur
The new album of the swedish Martial cult-band is out on Steinklang now! Stormfågel are well known from their brilliant two albums on Cold Meat Industry, but the third album even
tops the firs albums. “Eldvakt” is a incredible mix of early Derniere Volonte and Rome with a strong touch of new Blood Axis. pure Martial PowerPop at it’s very best! just listen to
the mp3s below, you will be amazed! Stormfågel spread its wings for the first time in the autumn of 2004. The creator of Stormfågel, Andreas Neidhardt, acted in several Neofolk
and Gothic bands since the early 90s. In February of 2005 Stormfågel released a 3-track demo named “Kinder der Vergangenheiten, Helden aus den grauen Zeiten” and was
immediately signed by Swedish record label Cold Meat Industry. During the making of their debut album vocalist Éva Mag joined Stormfågel. In the autumn of 2005 “Den nalkande
stormen” (cmi 149) saw the light of day. The reception of the album were overall positive and Andreas and Éva started immediately working on some new material. During this time
an old friend to both Éva and Andreas joined Stormfågel; Mikael Bergström. In the spring of 2007 Stormfågel released their second album: “Ett berg av fasa” (cmi 171). This followed
by two live performances. In Budapest and at that years WGT in Leipzig. At the Cold Meat Industry festival in Augsburg (17/11 2007) Stormfågel released a 4-track record called
“Svenska visor” (Kultur & Politik 003). In december 2007 Éva Mag decided to leave Stormfågel. Stormfågel is and has always been about the love of nature, our history, the absence
of God and the decline of mankind.

releases. “Dead:Meat” is the so far most mature and complex album of both artists. composition, interpretation and design feel like a smack in the face and leave no room for
compromise! morbidity meets iron avant-garde, romanticism encounters the frozen coldness of metal!
