Ambient, Ritual & Industrial Soundscapes

TROUM "EmphasYs" CD / 2LP / DL (295th Cycle / TR-15)
from €14.00

For more than three decades, Germany’s drone ambient pioneers TROUM have explored the liminal zones between sound and sensation, shaping immersive sonic environments that dissolve boundaries between ritual, memory, and matter. Emerging from the industrial-ambient underground of the 1990s, TROUM have remained devoted to a singular artistic intent: to create transformative listening experiences, dense with atmosphere and charged with inner movement, where sound becomes a living presence rather than a composition.

With EmphasYs, the duo returns to a conceptual seed planted over ten years ago.

Originally conceived under the German working title Schwerpunkt, meaning focal point or center of gravity, the idea was deceptively simple yet creatively demanding. What if each piece were built around one core instrument, not as an ornament within a layered structure, but as the gravitational heart of an entire sonic universe?

The process proved far from straightforward. The material, once recorded, began to evolve in unpredictable ways. Layers multiplied. Perspectives shifted. What had been intended as a focused gesture seemed to spiral into endless circles and rotations. The music continually generated new centers of gravity, new emphases. For a long time, the project appeared impossible to finalize.

Yet through years of revisiting, reshaping, and refining, clarity emerged.

After many resubmissions and reworkings, seven tracks were ultimately selected for EmphasYs. Each piece is defined by the focused use of a single instrument: electric guitar, cello, accordion, didgeridoo, acoustic guitar, zither, and saxophone. Rather than functioning as traditional melodic voices, these instruments become sources of texture, resonance, and color. They are not simply played, they are expanded, dissolved, and transmuted.

Each instrument embodies a distinct tonal hue and emotional flavor, forming its own synesthetic dimension. The electric guitar radiates a shimmering voltage, the cello breathes in subterranean warmth, the accordion unfolds in organic waves of air, the didgeridoo anchors the spectrum with primal vibration. Acoustic guitar, zither, and saxophone each open further portals of tone and timbre, shaping spaces that feel tactile and luminous.

EmphasYs unfolds like a sequence of elemental states. The music appears as colorful fluids, shining gases, iridescent ether. Sound behaves like matter in transformation, shifting density, refracting light, dissolving form. The listener is invited not merely to hear, but to inhabit these atmospheres, to drift within slowly morphing textures where time seems suspended.

In returning to the core idea of emphasis, TROUM have distilled their aesthetic to its essence. The album does not strive for maximalism, but for concentrated depth. Each track becomes a study in resonance, an exploration of how singularity can generate infinity.

With EmphasYs, TROUM reaffirm their original artistic vision while revealing a new facet of their sonic language. It is a work born from patience, persistence, and the willingness to let sound find its own center of gravity.

A decade in the making, EmphasYs stands as both culmination and renewal, an album where focus becomes expansion, and where a single instrument can open an entire universe.

TROUM & RAISON D’ÊTRE "Xibipiio - In and Out of Experience" 2LP (149th Cycle)
from €28.00

A singular work of deep sonic exploration returns, now unveiled in a definitive vinyl edition.

Originally released in 2017 as the second chapter following "De Aeris In Sublunaria Influxu" (2015), the collaborative opus by Germany’s Troum and Sweden’s raison d’être now resurfaces on vinyl, expanded with two previously unreleased bonus tracks. This edition completes and deepens a project that stands among the most immersive cross-border alliances in the dark ambient sphere.

Rooted in a philosophical reflection inspired by the Amazonian Pirahã tribe, the album unfolds as an excursion into nine distinct micro-worlds of perception and consciousness. Each movement exists as a self-contained inner landscape, fragile and fleeting, reaching toward the eternal yet anchored entirely in the present moment. It is music that dissolves linear time, inviting the listener into a state where sound becomes awareness itself.

The foundation of the work draws from sound sources by raison d’être, recorded and transformed by Troum between 2013 and 2017. These materials were deranged, reframed, morphed and reimagined into new forms, layered with additional instrumentation recorded by Troum, including guitars, voices, flutes, accordion, cello, violin, didgeridoo, dombra, tapes and found sounds. The final mix was completed by Troum, preserving the organic tension between dissolution and structure.

Mastered at K-14 level by Peter Andersson, the vinyl edition offers enhanced dynamic depth and spatial presence, capturing subtle textures and low-frequency resonance with exceptional clarity. The physical format emphasizes the tactile and ritualistic dimension of the listening experience, aligning with the album’s contemplative core.

The artwork, designed by Marcin Lojek for Rzpaid design, is complemented by patternal drawings by Bartosz Zaskorski, reinforcing the album’s visual and conceptual coherence.

This vinyl release stands not merely as a reissue, but as a refined embodiment of a collaborative vision, now extended through two additional pieces that expand the original cycle’s meditative arc. This edition represents the definitive form of a unique collaboration between Troum and raison d’être, a work that exists only in the moment it is heard.

ARROKOTH "Avàvâgo Zamran!" CD / DL (298th Cycle / WV127)
€14.00

“Avàvâgo Zamran!” marks a new ritual transmission under the name ARROKOTH, a project initiated by Guillaume Cazalet (Neptunian Maximalism, Zaäar, Sol Kia...) as an ongoing exploration of musical primitivism, liminality, and distant cultural imaginaries. Conceived as a vessel rather than a fixed ensemble, Arrokoth brings together collaborative works with Dimitar Dimitrov (Corpus Diavolis, Antelogos, Haiku Funeral) and John McKusick (Three Dragon Alley), resulting in a body of sound that functions as both ritual artifact and performative invocation.

The compositions unfold as exotic neo-shamanic objects, situated at the crossroads of trance, incantation, and ceremonial gesture. The collaboration between John McKusick and Guillaume Cazalet, alongside Cazalet’s solo works, gives rise to syncretic pieces drawing from a wide arc of influences, from Tibetan and Indian ritual traditions to Moroccan and Indonesian sonic cultures. These works are structured as hypnotic trances, where repetition, texture, and resonance dissolve linear listening in favor of altered states.

The meeting between Dimitar Dimitrov and Guillaume Cazalet takes a more explicitly magical form. Their collaboration centers on the incantation of the 8th Enochian Key, reinterpreted through a sonic language inspired by the Bön tradition, transforming spoken formula into a charged, ceremonial act.

The project takes its name from Arrokoth, a trans-Neptunian object located in the Kuiper Belt. Visited by NASA’s New Horizons probe on January 1, 2019, Arrokoth is the most distant and most primitive object in the Solar System ever explored by a spacecraft. Its name honors the Powhatan people, indigenous to the Tidewater region of present-day Virginia and Maryland, and reflects a return to origins, both cosmic and terrestrial.

Within this framework, music is approached as a performative and operative act. Sound becomes magical discourse, a tool through which intention is shaped and projected. These recordings may accompany ritual practice, or stand as documentation of the ritual itself, traces of an action that has already taken place.

THIS MORN’ OMINA "Insha" CD / DL (264th Cycle / ZZS174)
€14.00

With Insha, This Morn’ Omina crosses a new threshold within its long-established ritual universe. The album marks both a return and an expansion, retracing paths once considered barren, and reopening them as gateways to origin forces and primal intention. Created in close collaboration with Konchong-Gyaltsen (Nam-Khar), Insha is rooted in convergence rather than continuity.

Untethered from the logic of trilogies or cyclical narratives, Insha turns directly toward the sources that drive creation itself. The album functions as a focused exploration of manifestation, examining not only form and sound, but the energetic mechanics that allow ritual, intention, and matter to emerge.

Musically, Insha bridges eras of the project’s evolution. The organic, ceremonial vitality that defined the early works of This Morn’ Omina is interwoven with the structured, rhythmic pulse developed in later releases. The result is a dense, immersive work where ritual percussion, incantatory textures, and industrial discipline coexist in a unified ceremonial flow.

Insha stands as a significant statement within the contemporary ritual sound landscape. It is not a retrospective, nor a rupture, but an act of re-alignment, reconnecting essence and motion, origin and execution.

Insha is both invocation and observation, a sonic examination of how intention becomes reality, and how ritual sound continues to operate as a tool of transformation.

NEW RISEN THRONE “The Journey to Reach the Fathers” 2CD / DL (275th Cycle)
€18.00

A descent beyond death, a return to the origins of memory.

With The Journey to Reach the Fathers, Italian dark ambient visionary New Risen Throne delivers a monumental work of sonic transcendence, a meditation on death, ancestry, and the dissolution of the self.

The album unfolds as an inner passage beyond the boundaries of life, a transition into a realm suspended between memory and disintegration. Across five symbolic gates, the listener follows the path of a soul crossing from the mortal plane into ancestral depths. Each threshold represents a shedding, of fear, of guilt, of the fragile remnants of individuality, until what remains is no longer identity, but essence.

At the heart of this passage stands the Father: both guide and archetype, a primordial presence linking end and origin, loss and continuity. This is no promise of redemption or paradise, but a return to a distant, pre-human realm, where the lineage of the fathers of the fathers persists, silent and eternal, beneath the surface of all becoming.

Sonically, The Journey to Reach the Fathers extends New Risen Throne’s command of ritual dark ambient into its most profound form yet. Layered drones, corroded frequencies, and glacial reverberations intertwine to create soundscapes where time folds inward, bending into an inner spiral of resonance and decay.

Each composition becomes an act of purification and remembrance, a rite through which sound transforms into memory, and memory into presence. The result is a dense, immersive experience that stands as both requiem and revelation, a work about loss and continuity, return and dissolution.

Even as matter fades, The Journey to Reach the Fathers reminds us that every silence retains its trace, like the breath of those who came before, still echoing, still guiding.

Born Erased “Birds Drink My Blood” CD / DL (288th Cycle)
€14.00

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.

Where I Am The End Of The World (BLWBCK, 2023) relied on the tension between acoustic drums, distorted guitars and ambient electronics, Birds Drink My Blood turns inward, placing its focus firmly on electronic expression. Across six pieces, the music moves between stillness and intensity, occupying a space where fragile motifs and submerged power coexist.

Born Erased once again opens the door to collaboration. French electronic artist Mondkopf contributes his intricate synth work to the track “Unmade,” while Denmark’s Vanity Productions brings his signature melancholy-drenched feedback and noise experiments to the abrasive “Dead Sun Emblem.” These collaborative tracks enhance the album’s contrasts, highlighting moments of interplay between guest interventions and Born Erased’s core sound.

Birds Drink My Blood stands as a vivid reflection of a world where grace and violence remain inseparably entwined, and where collaboration amplifies the tension between beauty and brutality.

NEW RELEASES

NACHT “Nacht” CD / DL (AES012)
€14.00

A Collaboration Between Franck Vigroux & Loïc Varanguien de Villepin

Aesthetical presents NACHT, a new collaborative project uniting Franck Vigroux, the renowned French composer, producer and sound artist, with Loïc Varanguien de Villepin, poet and vocalist known for his intense spoken-word performances and existential lyricism.

Emerging as a logical progression of Vigroux’s sonic language, NACHT expands upon the stark electronic minimalism and visceral textural depth familiar from his earlier releases on Aesthetical. Yet where Vigroux’s previous works often inhabited the realm of pure sound and abstraction, NACHT introduces a distinctly human and tragic dimension through Varanguien’s vocal laments, fractured monologues, whispers and declamations that move between invocation and despair.

This union gives rise to a sound that is both ritualistic and cinematic, merging the weight of Vigroux’s electronic architecture with the vulnerable gravity of the human voice. The result is an immersive sonic world where industrial drones, distorted harmonics and decaying pulses serve as vessels for poetic catharsis, a nocturnal descent into memory, loss, and transformation.

“NACHT is the sound of language dissolving into resonance, the echo of meaning after words have disappeared,” says Vigroux.

Recorded between 2023 and 2025 in France, the album unfolds as a sequence of sonic tableaux, at once intimate and monumental. Each piece navigates the tension between structure and collapse, between technological precision and emotional volatility. The voice of Varanguien, at times nearly submerged beneath waves of distortion, emerges as a ghostly presence, the last trace of consciousness within Vigroux’s vast, crumbling soundscapes.

Rooted in contemporary electroacoustic practice yet driven by a deeply physical sense of rhythm and tension, NACHT stands as both a continuation and a rupture within Vigroux’s oeuvre, a point where music, poetry, and noise converge into something starkly new.

BEYOND SENSORY EXPERIENCE “In This Our Life” CD / DL (256th Cycle)
€14.00

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 continue 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.

Stylistically, the album keeps the trademark BSE touch: low-frequency washes, distant vocal fragments, analogue warmth and crystalline, slowly unfolding harmonies. Where earlier records often emphasized brooding stasis, "In This Our Life" moves the project into more narrative territory, allowing passages of melancholic catharsis to emerge from dense, claustrophobic beds of sound. Reviewers of earlier records noted the group’s talent for making the sparse feel monumental, a sensibility that informs this new collection.

The production embraces both analogue textures and carefully balanced percussive elements. Tracks shift between shadowed ambience and melodic refrains that linger, and the sequencing creates a discreet arc, from intimate, near-silent openings to more emphatic, emotionally charged culminations. Fans of the project’s prior work will recognize the continuity, while new listeners will find entry points in the album’s stronger melodic hooks and cinematic pacing.

STÄRKER "Spectral" CD / DL (AES011)
€14.00

STÄRKER, the France / Canada based duo of Frederic Arbour and Martin Dumais returns with "Spectral", their most fully realized work to date. Known for shaping a world of pulsating analog frequencies, brooding atmospherics and industrial tinged techno, the duo expands their sonic reach with a record that moves with sharpened precision, wider depth and a more deliberate sense of immersion.

Described as crafting fierce, dense, widely reverberating techno, STÄRKER established their signature tone with their acclaimed previous releases on Hospital Productions & Zhark, celebrated for their raw rhythmic focus and enveloping ambient strata. On "Spectral", the pair deepen this tension between propulsion and abstraction, refining their interplay of rhythm and drone into a more cinematic and enveloping architecture.

The album builds from tightly coiled analog pulses into vast, corrosive sound fields, creating an experience that navigates between ritualistic momentum and spectral stillness. Each piece carries a sense of physical weight, yet remains permeated by an atmospheric haze that gives the music its uniquely hypnotic character. The interplay of rhythmic sensibilities and experimental ambient continuum remains central, but evolves here into something more unified, more assertive and more evocatively textured.

Spectral stands as a culmination of STÄRKER’s ongoing exploration of industrial pressure, low frequency tension and immersive ambience, presenting a body of work that is both immediate and deeply layered. It marks a decisive step forward for the duo, reinforcing their presence within the techno, experimental and dark ambient spheres.

O SAALA SAKRAAL “Oastar” CD / DL (269th Cycle)
€14.00

Third Full-Length Ritual Offering

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.

Amidst these events, O Saala Sakraal deepen their exploration of the sacred and the profane, weaving six aural ceremonies designed to open liminal sonic spaces where the residual wounds of Christian dominion may begin to heal.

Steeped in woodland mysticism, Oastar unfolds as a cycle of rituals, to facilitate flow states, purify and transform, and call forth coalescence from fragmentation. Beneath its layers, a burning resonance persists: a yearning for restoration, for a return to the primordial harmony that once bound all things.

The album closes with a single solemn hymn to dusk, a slow descent into stillness where night and renewal converge.

Six pieces of consolidation and transcendence, offered to the world in its darkest hour.

Walking With Wodan
€30.00

An Autobiography by Freya Aswynn

Hardback edition. Hand-signed by Freya Aswynn

Walking with Wodan is the unflinching autobiographical testament of Freya Aswynn, one of the most influential and controversial figures in modern Northern Tradition and runic spirituality. Part life history, part initiatory record, this book traces a journey forged through extreme adversity, institutional neglect, occult awakening, and lifelong devotion to Wodan/Odin as a living spiritual force.

From a brutal childhood in post-war Europe and years spent in state care, through early encounters with magic, witchcraft, and esoteric orders, to her central role in the revival of Germanic paganism in Britain, Aswynn recounts her life with uncompromising honesty. The narrative weaves together personal trauma, political realities, occult practice, and spiritual insight, offering a rare inside view of the people, movements, and conflicts that shaped contemporary heathen and magical traditions.

This is not a sentimental memoir, nor a sanitized spiritual autobiography. Walking with Wodan is a record of wyrd in motion: of names claimed and discarded, of gods who demand everything, and of a life lived in conscious alignment with fate, will, and oath. Essential reading for serious students of Northern Tradition, occult history, and the lived reality behind modern paganism.

Foreword by Edred Thorsson:

Freya Aswynn began corresponding with me even before she was known to the world by that name. Throughout the 1970s there were embryonic developments in the rebirth of the runes in the English-speaking realms. These organisms were of two kinds: the traditional and the wildly speculative. It can be said that the traditional approach can over-do the rules and regulations of things, while the speculative can sink into meaningless idiosyncratism. But on the other hand the traditions do provide objective anchors in a world of rudderless journeys, while speculations can liberate the essential component of intuition. Intuition based on tradition shows the surest path. Indeed, Freya represents an intuitive approach to the runes in some regards, but it must also be said that she possesses the inborn wisdom to make use of the actual traditions — the lore — which was ages ago laid down by our ancestors and predecessors in the tradition.

In the realm of the esoteric and magic(k), individuals who have been gifted (or cursed) with intense vision often find themselves in what appears to the competition with others, which inevitably leads to some sort of conflict. In the course of this book the reader will find references to this sort of thing between myself and Freya. It should be noted, as she points out that I did my best to help others to make their way in the world of writing and publishing. I am a firm believer in that old saying that “a rising tide floats all boats.” When seekers’ hearts are resolutely dedicated to higher principles they always — should they be gifted with long enough lives — find happy resolutions to these apparent conflicts. In the case of Freya Aswynn, we are both firmly dedicated to the higher principles both sought and taught by the one we affectionately and respectfully refer to as the Old Man— our All-Father.

In this book the reader will discover the path of one such seeker who has left her imprint on the world.

Chasing The Green Dragon
€44.00

Chasing the Green Dragon – French Occult Conspiracy, Nazi Mysticism, and Gaston de Mengel’s Journey to the East by Ike Vil
Deluxe Edition, 365pp, Illustrated, Green cloth with device and titling foiled in black. Ltd. ed. 369 copies. (2026, Abraxas Publishing)

In 1937, a British-Belgian occultist arrived in Berlin to brief Heinrich Himmler on a secret society called the Green Dragon. Tracing his unbelievable claims, Chasing the Green Dragon dives into the interwar Parisian occult underground, where intelligence operators and esotericists mingled in the temple of the Polaires, Masonic lodges, and Maria de Naglowska's Luciferian salons, sometimes with fatal results. A highly intellectual but eccentric scholar, Gaston de Mengel worked with Rene Guenon, the Cambodian Prince Iukanthor, and possibly with the French secret service - without realising it. Based on a wealth of obscure sources, including new archival finds, the stranger-than-fiction story of Gaston de Mengel is a unique account of little-known cultural currents that gave birth to numerous post-war conspiracy theories and Nazi Mysteries - and Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum.


Aleister Crowley: Tannhäuser - A Story of All Time
€55.00

Abraxas Publishing is proud to announce the release of its first full English language publication, the facsimile edition of Aleister Crowley’s “Tannhäuser – A Story of All Time”. 

Crowley finished "Tannhäuser" in Kandy, Ceylon in the beginning of 1900s during a period when he and his mentor Allan Bennet were in middle of intense yogic practices. The book is Crowley’s take on the 13th century legend of Minnesinger Tannhäuser. In Crowley’s dramatic version, which he referred as “The History of the Soul”, the traveling Rosicrucian poet journeys in the world of gods, men and demons in search of truth and harmony. Through Tannhäuser's reflections the book explores complex themes, such as the clash between earthly passions and spiritual aspirations, foreshadowing the conflicts and transformations Tannhäuser experiences throughout the story. The drama reflects Crowley's fascination with mysticism and the interplay of earthly desire and divine inspiration. Tho overlooked at its time, Crowley’s Tannhäuser play grew later into a seminal text in Thelema and in O.T.O.

Crowley’s gives the keys for deciphering the text in his preface written in Kandy in 1901 where he connects the drama’s scheme with John Bunyan’s “The Pilgrim's Progress” (1678). Crowley advices the reader to observe Tannhäuser as the only “real” character of the play and other characters just merely reflections of the traveling poet’s own consciousness.

The publications is a facsimile reprint of the second edition published through Crowley’s own publishing house Society for the Propagation of Religious Truth aka S.P.R.T. in 1907. In the “new” edition Crowley used mainly unbound pages left over from the original 1902 Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner & Co.’s publication. Crowley’s disappointment with Kegan Paul's management of his book sales spurred him to distribute his own works via S.P.R.T.

The facsimile edition is published in large format hardback edition of 222 hand-numbered copies. Front and back cover and spine stamped with gilt. Binding: sewn. Endpapers: Malmero Abysse. Headband: Iranian turquoise. The book comes with a limited edition “Crowley in Ceylon” -bookmark.

Gullveigarbok
€75.00

by Ekortu

Hardcover book, black cover stamped with golden Utgarða-Heiðr rune, black endpapers. Fully illustrated, 371 pages including a fold-out map of Heldrasill, the underworld. Third printing of 600 copies. Ixaxaar

She is known as the black underworldly crone and giantess of the black anti-cosmic runes and magic, who comes at midnight up from under the ground and walks between houses to visit the practitioners of the black arts (or fjölkunnigr, as they were called), to teach them about the black runes and anti-cosmic magic. She is known as first wife, or mistress of Loki. Her names are many, amongst which the most well-known ones are Gullveig, Heiðr, Aurboða, Angrboða and Hyrrokin. She was looked upon as an evil woman, "illr kona", and the mother of all trolls, "flagð", troll being the Old Norse term for malignant and bestial demons, viewed upon as a thurs-kin, which are often dwellers of the forests, mountains and the underworld.

The book explores Gullveig through Old Norse mythology, sagas, Witchcraft & Poetry, which also includes descriptions of related giants and underworldly locations connected to her, such as: Loki, Jørmungandr, Fenrir, Hel; Jøtunheimr, Helheimr, Niflheimr, and much more.

The Gullveigarbók gives the student a wide overview, explaining the darker side of Norse mythology as a whole, making it an important work for readers searching for knowledge concerning this before seldom explored aspect of Northern Spirituality.

The latter part of the Gullveigarbók book is called Fjølkyngi, witchcraft, and holds the esoteric aspects and praxis of the author's own witchcraft as connected to the Thursatru Tradition - Þursatrú siðr - and divulges aspects of the author's magical Gullveig workings. This part of the book also introduces students to how the Gullveig sigils, or bindrunes are to be employed.
