Dedicated To The Destruction Of Dictators, by Morbid Beauty from the album Still Fighting

Just reminded of this track.. Massive thanks to the incredible Inner Demons Records for CD release of this! Harsh noise, industrial, HNW, grinding crunching biting static distortion overload. Fuck wars. Fuck dictatorships!
STILL FIGHTING against dickheads.

YouTube video by The Owlripper A Town Called Sufferer // Neism and The Owl (track video)

We drove thousands of kilometres. No real destination.
We reached an abandoned town with the ominous name
Sufferer
Population: 3
You must rest here a while.
We found a small room with electricity.
We set up our instruments, and pressed record....

The First Gathering, by V/A 60 track album

Exactly 6 months since the first Mountain Forest Cabin Dweller release arrived, 'The First Gathering' compilation - 60 tracks of dungeon synth, dark ambient, ambient music, soundscapes, drone, minimal, field recordings.
mountainforestcabindweller.bandcamp.com/album/the-fi...

The concept best told by X's For Eyes project puppetmaster Marc Whitworth. "No Stars Tonight" album concept repurposes the raw, unfiltered outrage of public online reviews of random products & services into rage-filled lyrics, channelling fury from complaints about allergy medications to air fryers.

YouTube video by The Owlripper 'No Stars Tonight' / X's For Eyes

For fans of Car Bomb, Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan, Igorrr, Ion Dissonance, Fantomas, Today Is The Day, The Locust, Author & Punisher, losing your marbles and giving in to the delirium of every day and otherworldly madness.

X's For Eyes returns to Owlripper for another furious ball of demented metal wrapped in barbed chaotic noise following on perfectly from last year's 'In Horrid Waves' monster!

Hecate (Ben Grey, Toulon, Illinois)
hecate2113.bandcamp.com
“Recorded onto a Tascam DP-24 using an Akai MINI controller. Acoustic guitar heavily affected played on various tracks. Sounds conjured Spring 2025, in a vain attempt to appeal to the indifferent stars above.”

YouTube video by The Owlripper 'My Ghost Will Never Sleep' / Hecate

The coalescence of light and dark moods enhances perception, melting the mind by inducing melatonin release and poetic melancholy.

Hecate 'My Ghost Will Never Sleep'
An immense and unique 6 track EP combining thought-invoking glacial dungeon synth space melodies with atmospheric ambient black metal (delivered on distorted acoustic guitar).
owlripperrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/my-gho...

Great to work with you on it. Love what you do, in sound and your collage artwork. Great move having Tanaka Suguru's art for the cover!
Excited to see the physical on @weregnomerecords.bsky.social
Look forward to sharing more of your sounds later in the year (teasing teaser to tease the readers!) 😂

YouTube video by Vibracobra23 Redux Xmal Deutschland - Polarlicht (Peel Session)

Also found there is a Vibracobra23 Redux channel, with more individual tracks. 'Polarlicht' is an incredible song, total classic!

Thank you @Vibracobra23.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy for what you do with the channels!

YouTube video by Vibracobra23 Xmal Deutschland - Peel Session 1983

Relistening to old Peel Sessions, especially lots of the goth bands. I always thought Xmal Deutschland were underrated in comparison to Sisters Of Mercy, Bauhaus, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees etc...
This channel (Vibracobra23) is an absolute treasure vault!

YouTube video by Alexis Lorca Bassheads - Is There Anybody Out There (Original Video 1991)

I fear it is only me that enjoys all of those things, let alone all at the same time!
'Is There Anybody Out There?'; the question the Bassheads once posed. I wonder what, if anything, they discovered?

Diabolical Laughter, by The Owl from the album #53 - pǝʇɔǝdxǝɥʇɔǝdxǝu∩

For fans of unexpected dubstep, sounds going in reverse, Monty Python, that Belgian hardcore rave styled 'hoover' sound from the 90s, and that one note that drops down out of nowhere on Suffocation's 'Funeral Inception' track.
theowl.bandcamp.com/track/diabol...
Revisiting a track from May 2021.

From there on, trust in the sounds from both Cosmic Abyss and Sereth to take you on an interesting, galactic, weaving journey; with their own identities but combining perfectly, through city of origin, and their need to tell a bigger story than just sound.

...to the immensity of what can happen when you find an ally and run with the ideas you have with each other.

Musically, you will immediately and gladly fall into the 'Wormhole' opening - into its vast expanse of atmospheres and captivating tune and tone.

As individuals, we don't need many allies to survive the decades of existence we have; but we generally do need a few. When you find that person who understands; befriend, join forces, collaborate, be creative, inspire and influence each other. This is a sonic-based monument...
