| BEYOND SENSORY EXPERIENCE “In This Our Life” CD / DL (256th Cycle) Beyond Sensory Experience announce “In This Our Life”, a new album that extends and deepens the austere, melancholic sound they have refined since their formation in 2001. The duo continues to balance sparse, cinematic atmospheres with richly layered textures and haunting melodic motifs. “In This Our Life” follows a sequence of records that critics have described as immersive, melancholic and beautifully unsettling, works which place the duo among the most discreetly consistent voices in contemporary dark ambient. Previous releases were praised for their ability to create vast emotional registers from minimal material, a characteristic the new album amplifies while exploring more expansive song-forms and dynamic contrasts.

| Born Erased “Birds Drink My Blood” CD / DL (288th Cycle) Birds Drink My Blood is the second full-length album from Born Erased, the latest solo venture of Bulgarian musician Angel Simitchiev. Conceived as a meditation on nature’s brutal beauty, the album channels the relentless flow of the natural world, its internal hierarchies, and the unseen forces that shape it. Electronic instrumentation forms the foundation of the record, marking this as the closest Born Erased has come to the final works released under Simitchiev’s now-retired Mytrip alias. Shop |
| O SAALA SAKRAAL “Oastar” CD / DL (269th Cycle) Oastar marks the long-awaited third manifestation of O Saala Sakraal, the ceremonial vessel guided by nOh v°v (of Trepaneringsritualen and Norn) and Sunnifa St. Álander (of Hadewych).Recorded in the aftermath of the discovery and subsequent destruction of an ancient solar temple by local authorities in the eastern region of Hamaland, a land still shadowed by the enduring influence of the Church, this new work channels both lament and invocation.

| VORTEX “Acéphale” CD / DL (248th Cycle) With Acéphale, German ritual ambient project VORTEX delves deeper into the mythic undercurrents of philosophy, ritual, and sound. The album continues the band’s ongoing exploration of aural mythology through subtle drone compositions, ritualistic percussion, and an overarching sense of psychosexual tension.Taking inspiration from the work of Georges Bataille, Acéphale evokes the forbidden energies at the heart of human experience. In the 1930s, Bataille founded both a journal and a secret society under the same name Acéphale (“headless”), centered on the image of the headless god, a symbol of rebellion against reason, hierarchy, and political authority. Through this figure, Bataille envisioned liberation from the “servility of reason,” embracing immanence, transgression, and the chaotic freedom found beyond control. Shop |
