Alkerdeel - Morinde

http://consouling.be/images/releases//alkerdeel_morinde.jpg

No better way to start off the apocalyptical year 2012 than with the unleashing of ALKERDEEL's second full album 'Morinde' upon this world.
After a few successful demo's/EP'S, these Belgians are pushing up the ante. It's clear ALKERDEEL has progressed quite a bit since the release of 'Luizig'. Although the familiar elements are still present - raw sludge/doom infused with filthy black metal - the compositions have matured and gained more depth. The lo-fi approach of the previous albums made room for a more thoughtful recording process, making it sound perhaps more accessible but also allows the sound to reveal all its sluggish nuances. But rest assured, ALKERDEEL remains ALKERDEEL: a mean putrid steamroller that takes no prisoners!

You can pre-order Morinde now. Besides the regular cd and (colored) vinyl version, there is also a diehard edition in a wooden box holding an exclusive clear vinyl, cd, exclusive t-shirt…

"Creeping Hands" By Felipe Vasquez


To Whom It May Concern:

So it turns out that last year’s Halloween Mixtape received lots of positive feedback and as a result, I have decided to create one for this year as well. My objective, again, was to put together a compilation that incorporates a certain eeriness in music and one that pulls from a variety of genres and eras.
Tracklist and link below.


Primal / Carnal - Chelsea Wolfe
Je Pense à Toi - Amadou & Mariam
I Think I'm A Mother - PJ Harvey
Everyday - Yo La Tengo
Videodrones: Questions - Trent Reznor
No Error In My Memory - Tujiko Noriko
Obsessions (oOoOO Remix) - Marina & the Diamonds
Take Over Dynamix - U.S. Girls
Oblivion - Grimes
Warszawa - David Bowie
Between Two Mysteries - Mount Eerie
L 'Exécution - Angelo Badalamenti
The Cold Song - Klaus Nomi
Janitor of Lunacy (Nico Cover) - Soap&Skin
Movie Screen - Chelsea Wolfe
…

Hey folks,

As excited as I am about this week's playlist (which a lot of people commended, except my mom who said it was "too sad"), next week is my annual Halloween show. I hope you're ready for an unreasonable amount of Nick Cave and Tom Waits.
