Dear darklings, the soundtrack of April 2022 is meant to get you off your seats. Its purpose is to rekindle your desire to go out dancing because, let’s face it, we’ve done enough dancing in our bedrooms over the last two years. If there is one thing we can conclude from the releases of the previous month, it is that, despite the world being in standstill, bands and musicians were working on new stuff behind the scenes. This month we had the comeback of Rammstein after three years with ‘Zeit’, an album the equal of ‘Liebe Ist Für Alle Da’. We also had the return of Archive with ‘Call to Arms & Angels’, original material coming six years after ‘The False Foundation’. Beloved punk disruptors CROWS have offered another addictive collection of songs in their sophomore album, while Sudden Infant have returned with a poetic, sometimes punk, sometimes noisy, minimalistic album, four years after ‘Buddhist Nihilism’. Speaking of punk, Lady Bird have made a powerful entrance onto the scene with ‘WE’, their debut album, and are now been on our radar as a ‘must see’ live band.

It made perfect sense to choose a celebratory gig by a favourite promoter as our first gig for 2022. It made sense because we are absolutely thrilled that Chaos Theory hung in there during covid and has now come back. This mini festival was both a celebration of 12 years of presence in the London alternative scene and a showcase of musicians that Chaos Theory has and will continue to support in the future. Over eight hours, we were taken on a musical trip that had meditational, ceremonial, psychedelic, noise, lyrical, angry, melancholic and solemn moments.

An existential cry from the periphery of Hell to the depths of Lower Hell
This is an album that you must handle with care from the second you unseal it. This is an LP that you must take care of, possibly more than very few others in your collection. This is a sonic howl from the depths of Hell that overwhelms all conscious sentiment of those who never perceived sin this way before. It is a procession for the expulsion of pain and for this reason it is sacred.
Each time Kristin Hayter, a.k.a Lingua Ignota, offers us a sonic story, it is often one written in blood. ‘SINNER GET READY‘ – an album that defies categorization, whose title and song titles are written in capital letters to signify their conceptual gravity – is the sixth release by Lingua Ignota in four years. It surpasses everything that she has created so far in terms of production, texture, emotional and conceptual depth, arrangement, aesthetic references, instrumentation and performance. If the previous releases were all delivered from the perspective of a creature in one of the seven circles of Upper Hell, then ‘SINNER GET READY’ is the sound of all the gatekeepers of Hell combined.

HOROLOGIUM-Carmina Contagionis
Release date:28 June 2021
Label: Ur Muzik
HOROLOGIUM — a.k.a Grzegorz Siedlecki — is a project that devotees of dark ambient, post-industrial and neoclassical ceremonial music are very familiar with and very fond of. We had the pleasure of enjoying the sonic strength of their music live in London during the mini festival Deliquium in 2018 and loved the way their sound was complemented by beautiful visuals that revealed a fascination with the aesthetic of old black and white movies. Three years after the release of ‘Atavistic Americana‘ and one year after the release of their even darker EP entitled ‘Starvation Musings‘, the band is ready to release a new album entitled ‘Carmina Contagionis‘ through Ur Muzik. By carefully decomposing their industrial rhythms and enriching them with distorted dark folk, spoken word elements and choral vocals that evoke the atmosphere of a church, HOROLOGIUM are about to release their most cinematic album to date. Their political comments are artistically handled, shrouded in vocal samples that evoke the aesthetics of old movies, while disquieting loops play addictive tricks with our spiritual comfort. We noticed and loved the way the tracks finish, each breaking its own ‘mould’. This is an album for the end of times, an album that glorifies the moment before everything stops and is reborn. Make sure to preorder it now!
Here is the official press release from the band:
“Every plague has its own melody (music to die to), but the past centuries knew that music could also serve as a medicine: carmina contra mortalitatem hominum. But what kind of illness actually threatens the very essence of a noble soul? Horologium are back with their trademark sound: obsessive and overwhelming aural collages meet sublime ambient fragments, martial industrial meets spoken word and choir singing. The album features a collaborative track with the old-time comrade Der Arbeiter. The artwork’s been skilfully crafted by Bunkier Productions. Carmina Contagionis offers six new tracks on a strictly limited and hand-numbered lathe-cut LP (20 pieces only!). This is a ‘rara avis’ release per se and will not be reissued! 10x black LP // 10x transparent LP EUR 39.00 (plus shipping) Pre-order you copy at ur.muzik(at)yahoo(dot)com or via our fb page“
