MEGAPTERA - DISEASE, CD reissue (UR 011) - OUT NOW!

Megaptera have been a Death Industrial trademark since their first recordings back in the early 1990s. The Swedish monster, led by its mastermind Peter Nyström, embodies the most disturbing and gruesome art there is. Alongside other legends, such as Archon Satani, In Slaughter Natives, or Atrax Morgue, the project has haunted our sheltered lives with their highly oppressive sound ever since.

The album „Disease”, originally released in 1996 by Art Konkret, is no exception to the rule. It is Death Industrial at its best – grim, terrifying and ghastly. Disease was also the first album with Peter as the sole member. The album is bulit like a psychological horror soundtrack, not as harsh as its predecessor - Beyond The Shadow, but it is darker and will definitely crawl under the listener’s skin.

The 2018 version is not a mere reissue, though, as it is completed with a brand new 10-minute-long track, which includes some sound additions by John Stillings of Steel Hook Prostheses.

Released as a digipack. Mastered by Henrik Nordvargr Björkk. Artwork by Kellerman Design.

Available as of today. 13.00 EUR + shipping (ask for details).

KONGO "BLUBBER" IS HERE!

Kongo's "Blubber" CD is finally here! Order your copy at ur.muzik@yahoo.com and get the taste of Nordvargr and Nystrom's industrial sounds!

Henrik Nordvargr Björkk and Peter Nyström are both well known figures in the realm of dark soundscapes. They have been providing their obscure sonorities for decades now and each new release by either of the two legendary artists is an awaited treat. With their new project KONGO, Björkk and Nyström set off on a journey where they delve deep into early industrial music: using cut-up technique, processing speech samples, looping distorted melodies and making Blubber the ultimate homage to Severed Heads and Cabaret Voltaire’s works. It’s hectic, obsessive, and crazy. And it’s got that punk feel to it – a perfect soundtrack to the fucked-up world we are living in. Comes with an amazing artwork by Kellerman Design in a digipack edition of 300 copies.

Henrik Björkk i Peter Nyström to nazwiska doskonale znane miłośnikom muzyki dark ambient i industrial. Twórcy odpowiedzialni za m.in. MZ.412 i Folkstorm (Björkk), czy Megaptera i Negru Voda (Nyström), połączyli siły jako Kongo, aby oddać hołd klasykom gatunku – Severed Heads i Cabaret Voltaire, jak również szwedzkiej grupie En Halvkokt I Folie. Muzycy, na wzór inspirujących ich artystów, sięgnęli po środki takie jak sampling, cut-up, efekty i zapętlenia, krótko mówiąc: dokonali kompletnej dekonstrukcji wyjściowego materiału dźwiękowego, aby stworzyć industrialnego potwora. „Blubber” to obsesyjna podróż w świat pionierów Industrial Music, równie szalona jak świat w którym przyszło nam dziś żyć. Szata graficzna autorstwa Kellerman Design idealnie dopełnia ponad 40 minut muzyki zawartej na debiucie tego nietuzinkowego zespołu. Limit do 300 sztuk w formacie digipack.

Negru Pvlse - Fervere CD - out now!

An album that was long in the making. The creative minds of Mathias Josefson (Moljebka Pvlse) and Peter Nyström (Negru Voda, ex-Megaptera) join forces again to return 13 years after their first album Madeira (2002, Old Europa Cafe). Fervere in Latin stands for ‘boil’ or ‘seethe’ and these expressions accurately capture the one hour content of Negru Pvlse’s sophomore release: dark, dense and often rhythmic soundwaves that Megaptera’s mastermind is known for and the unique and more dreamy ambient parts by Mathias Josefson. The whole, however, presents itself as a distinct and independent work of a fully developed band, and not as a mere collaboration. Fervere is a complex yet highly addictive work that will make you realize the long wait was well worth it!
