Which melody stuck in your head? 9. 2073 Janáček Leoš Janáček was (amongst more) a Czech composer (he died August 12th, 1928). Described as 'a musical eccentric with imperfect improvising style', and 'an author who could accumulate a lot of material, but was unable to do anything with it.' Inspired by Moravian and Slavic music, Eastern European folk music, to create an original, modern musical style. Download includes all accompanying artwork and versions, plus 17 more photos, from 'the vault'.

Malebranche

As if there were no distance between the recorded voice and the listening ears—as if voices traveled along the bones that transmit acoustic self-perception, directly from the mouth to the labyrinth of the ear—the hallucinations become real-- ☠︎︎ I introduce you to a ritualistic haunting for the death industrial, horror soundtrack and noise devourers, 'Excomunica' by Malebranche. 𝐄𝐱𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐓𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐧 Teresa Giordano was a shepherdess who lived as a recluse in the woods of a small hamlet outside the city of Lamezia Terme until her death (real or presumed) in the early 1990s. The devouring light of the southern noon is the chosen haunt of demons, phantasmata, incubus and succubus: entities that, before being banished to darkness and night by christianity, knew no moral distinction between light and darkness. The midday (Meriggio) is a critical moment in which time and nature seem to stand still in an unsettling stasis, while the effects of the star cease to be beneficial and fertilizing and become oppressive and desiccating. Sunstrokes, miasmas, and hallucinations of a land struck by a deadly heat... ☠︎︎ Equipment: -dark-media: Roland SP555 sampler -haunted-media: Reader's Digest 505 turntable -ritual tools: electricity, rattles, irons and metals, keyboard -other tools: randonautica, faulty pedals, Panasonic RR-QR240 microphone, Tascam DR-05 microphone Psychogeophony: SoleColloTagliato Cut/Edit: SANTAFEZZA Cover: Fra Goats Photos: SoleColloTagliato "totemic electroscrap-tarantula-tribe of southern wasteland's gravediggers, surviving the apocalypse through illicit trade at filthy flea markets. digging and looting cultural memory debris from landfills in the empire of dust" malavranche.bandcamp.com linktr.ee/daghostclub Released August 11, 2026 |☠︎︎

Verhinderer

The burden is gone. I feel light. Has everything always been this simple? I leave everything behind. The only thing I need. I want to be free. Here at the top of the tower, I watch above everything. I hear the wind blowing through the fields. I watch the night sleep without resting myself. Not even the tower answers me. Not even it seems to be on my side, even though I built it. Thick clouds roll over me. My mind plays tricks on me, which I try to unravel during sleepless nights. The tower falls. And I with it. Down into the endless darkness of loneliness. ----- All music, words and concept by Bettler, as Verhinderer 'Everything is recorded at home, in Chemnitz, Germany'. verhinderer.bandcamp.com Remparts Productions have also released this onto limited (20) handpainted cassettes here: rempartsproductions.bandcamp.com/album/isolation Released August 10, 2026 ------ ------ ------

Dno

Dno are a big part of a rich history in the Orlová (and surrounding areas) DIY scene; last year celebrating their 10 year anniversary with a truly memorable event in their homebase and region's heart in Klub Futra, and with many concerts around Europe in their journey. Also, they are super nice awesome people who I feel lucky to call friends. I am happy and honoured to take part in the release of their third album; one that has been a long-time coming, a long process, and one worthy of lots of listens to let the tunes, patterns and rhythms weave their way into your minds. For fans of heavy and emotional crust encrusted hardcore, especially of central-Eastern European and Scandinavian origin, plus the prolific and ever-reliable Zegema Beach Records. 𒆜 𒆜𒆜𒆜𒆜𒆜𒆜 𒆜 Dno: “emo/screamo hc band from Orlová since 2015” 'No racism.

Eyemasters

Eyemasters arrive to Owlripper from Barcelona, Spain. They bring something for the fans of old school death thrashing metal and high energy Scandinavian punk rock and roll; inspired by the likes of Entombed, Dismember, Master, Birdflesh, Motorhead, early Sepultura (and a recommendation of Spanish sludge band Moho). 𓂀 As the post-Obscene Extreme Festival crash and reality return become all-consuming (and having enjoyed many HM2-led metallic treats, including Dismember and Rotten Sound), the timing of releasing and relistening to this Eyemasters recording couldn't be more perfect. Whichever metal festivals you go to during the rest of this year or next, remember Eyemasters as a soundtrack for recovery! Eyemasters are two long-term friends (also in Dos Brujos, Boogied, Hoz Seca) who get together occasionally to enjoy jamming in their rehearsal room and self-producing their ideas. DIY CDs available from the band: [email protected] IG @ eyemasters666 https://eyemasters.bandcamp.com Owlripper catalogue number: ON117 released July 7, 2026 𓂀 Thank you to Bonded By Thrash (Latin & Iberian Metal) channel on YouTube for adding this release unprompted. The support is hugely appreciated.

UgUrGkuliktavikt

This beautiful slice of atmospheric ambient soundscape creation contemplates the inevitable: the end. A single twenty-minute piece. A slow breath, a veil of mist. Ambient layers drift through absence, pierced by grainy textures — like memories resisting erasure. ..... Everything must vanish — voices, faces, places. What remains is music, a fragile attempt at acceptance. A farewell held in suspension. A silence that already knows. .....
