New label: Beläten

[Dread!]

This isn't really Dead Letters news, but I am starting up a new label, called Beläten, which may interest some of you. The first batch of cassettes will be available for purchase this Friday, the 24th of February. I won't be posting any more news regarding Beläten to this list, so if you want to keep up to date on what's going on with the label, visit www.beläten.se to subscribe to the newsletter. You may also follow us on Twitter or Facebook. Visit our SoundCloud page for samples from all releases.

Beläten א

Trepaneringsritualen

Roi Perdu

C20. Limited edition of 23 copies.

 

Beläten א reissues a blink-and-you'll-miss-it tape from a few years ago, released by iDEAL Recordings. This edition is equally small.

 

»Roi Perdu« sees Trepaneringsritualen visiting the dark forests of mediæval Europe and the Merovingian legend. Dark, ritual and obscure death ambient in the Cold Meat Industry tradition.

Beläten ב

Æther & Trepaneringsritualen

Edifice Of Nine Sauvastikas

C20. Limited edition of 23 copies.

 

Æther & Trepaneringsritualen each present a 10 minute mediation on the exact local of Yung-drung Gu-tzeg, in which shadow lies Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring where Tonpa Shenrab Miwoche took human form.

 

Æther offers a slow, throbbing analogue sauvastika symphony, and Trepaneringsritualen twists chanting voices and clanking metal percussions into a truly harrowing ritual soundscape.

Beläten ג

Michael Idehall

SOL

C67. First edition of 50 copies.

 

Listening to Idehall's »SOL«, one is forgiven for thinking of Psychic TV, Coil and similar, esoterically inclined artists. Not that his seancetronica really sound like any of those, but he — or what ever unseen force is imprinted into his machines — conjures up the same emotional states.

 

»SOL« appears as a journey of sorts, a search for what lies beyond the conscious mind. It's naked and physical music, but at the same time obscure and ethereal. Idehall warns us that »This music should be engaged with caution and it should be regarded as a series of conditioned technomantical experiments« but should you choose to follow him, you will be greatly rewarded.

About Beläten

Beläten deals in synthetic and acoustic musick, transgressive and retrogarde Art and the search for the inner sun. Post avantgard pop for a pre-apocalyptic world.
