Next year, in 2025, In Loving Memory will celebrate their 20^th anniversary. Despite two decades of existence, however, they have never been the most productive act on our planet.

Dutch act Dystopia will celebrate its twentieth anniversary next year; okay, there used to be a hiatus somewhere during their first years, yet this band recorded their first demonstrational material during the start of the second half of this century’s first decay, eh, I mean decade (got it?). Initially, this outfit was created as a rather Thrash-oriented alternative for Pulverised.

A short one...

The ever-productive sound-artist (bleak) never disappointed me with any of his many outfits, and this one, Carrion, being one of his most fruitful ones, comes up once more with a new piece of psychologically-unacceptable fairness. It’s a lengthy one-piece record, clocking 37:09 minutes. Oh yes, adorable visual artistry, by the way.

I know, it’s been almost seven months that this album has been released, but I will write down my thoughts anyway, though I will keep it short.

One heart we are, one essence we are, the witches’ spirit we share… Let’s walk the Diabolical Path…

Memphis - Garish - Mitya DHS - aka Dekonstruktor - did create some mind-twisting yet satisfying stuff in the past (amongst which the split with Megalith Levitation). In order to celebrate their tenth anniversary under this specific name (they were active as The Moon Mistress before), the trio recorded some new / renewed material at the Korean Room, Red Eyes Studios over a period of 2021 and 2022; produced and mixed by the band itself as well.

ashes to ashes, dust to dust…

As mentioned in previous reviews, Concreteweb is a channel to promote and support (anti-commercial) Music that dwells in spheres of Aural Underground Art. Sonic Supremacy for the Elite, you see… It is not a page to discuss political, ideological, religious, societal or ethic subjects. We all know that our planet is sick – ruined by the human kind – and this trespasses questions about good and evil, or about tolerance versus extremist opinions of any scope. This said…

One-man project Onasander is an outfit by Italian musician Maurizio Landini, who’s active under the moniker Les Anges Morts as well. As Onasander, Maurizio did record and release some collaborations via Winter-Light (with e.g. Kloob and Ashtoreth), and he was part as well on some of Cryo Chamber’s Cryo Chamber Collaboration epics, amongst other material.

Because I am such an amazing, sympathetic, vivid, bright, virile, smart, professional, handsome and, above all, modest and humble reviewer (why are you sardonically grimacing?), I have the chance to meet some very sympathetic and kind musicians from all over our beautiful yet rotting globe. An example is Lawrence K., the guy behind the Dark Ambient / Dungeon Synth outfit Idylls Of The Last King. With pleasure and dedication, I wrote down my humble thoughts on some of the former releases.

The über-productive outfit with the ingeniously developed name Crazygoji, hailing from Illinois, US, did originally release Times New Romantic in early 2024; more specific, it did see the stroboscopic light on February 2^nd in both self-release as well via New Zealand-based label Lilypad Records.
