Death by name, death by nature; this debut EP from these Berlin maniacs storms the gates with raw intensity.Visit product page →
Defined by intelligent and nuanced songwriting, The Bleakest Force holds a maturity which belies the band's relative youth. It's been a long road to here; founded in 2012, after years of struggle, primogenitor Costa (ex Satan's Wrath) relocated Early Death from London to Berlin.
Recruiting members of Essenz and Evil Spirit, the final lineup came together in 2016 to craft these four hymns of evil. Pure old school thrash / death is the game, with an inventiveness that demonstrates immaculate taste and consummate knowledge.
Reminiscent of Nifelheim in its intensity, diversity and finely crafted approach, ED are firmly in the camp of death as opposed to dwelling in blackness. This is just the beginning...and the future is dark indeed.

Pale Mare is loud, heavy metal trio blending elements of heavy groove with punishing riffs. “Sounding like Motörhead developing a penchant for doom, this self-titled EP is raw, heavy and filthy in the best possible way” - Metal Hammer.Visit product page →
"The self-titled debut EP from Toronto, ON-based post-metal/sludge act Pale Mare contains three songs of utter heaviness. Filled with dense, High On Fire-style groove-laden riffs, the release combines crushing aggression with doomy rhythms and harsh noisy soundscapes... ...the EP is super heavy on the distortion and has an extremely raw sound throughout, yet it's well-executed. It's an extremely solid debut and an indicator of great things to come; Pale Mare are definitely a band to keep an eye on." - Exclaim! Magazine

Hollie Cook combines her unique vocal talent and charisma to craft a dynamic strand of lovers rock with enduring tropical vibes, weaving a path from her West London roots to an arena of diverse collaborations, critically acclaimed records, and iconic live appearances around the world. Cook’s ability to surprise, delight, and progress solidifies her position as one of the most exciting voices in reggae, and this is clear on her third full-length and Merge debut, Vessel of Love.Visit product page →
Cook’s music career commenced at age 19, when family friend and punk trailblazer Ari Up asked Cook to join the raucous ’70s post-punk outfit The Slits for their reformation in 2006. Thrown into the deep end she thrived, and quickly cut her teeth with four years of back-to-back shows around the globe. Her talents recognized and nurtured, she then released her first solo album Hollie Cook in 2011, with a revered 2012 dub album follow-up, while singles such as “Milk & Honey” and “That Very Night” gained support from influential radio stations across Europe.
After performing at The Stone Roses concert at Manchester’s Heaton Park at the personal request of Ian Brown, and her hypnotic performance on the prestigious Later…With Jools Holland, the way was paved for Hollie’s solo career. By the end of 2014, Jamie T had requested her support for his Alexandra Palace show and featured her on his track “They Told Me It Rained.” Cook had also unleashed Twice via Mr. Bongo Records, and with Mike “Prince Fatty” Pelanconi once again aiding in the album’s conception, Cook confidently delivered her follow-up to a well-received debut.
Hollie hit the road with both The Skints and Protoje, and lent her vocal talent to Quantic’s “Shuffle Them Shoes” single, which also featured on his 1000 Watts album. Acclaimed legendary producer Martin “Youth” Glover (Killing Joke) is Cook’s most recent collaborator, lending his venerable production expertise to Vessel of Love.
Hollie Cook sits in good company on Glover’s impressive production list, joining Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, The Verve, Primal Scream, Pink Floyd, and Depeche Mode. Glover describes Cook’s songs as “sharp lyrical observations and clever word play combined with an exquisite and informed pop sensibility.” Hollie Cook’s vibrant, spirited take on lovers rock radiates positivity, and with Vessel of Love, expect to see her on top of the tropical throne of pop in 2018!

With ‘Weaves’ Distant Animals further explores his study of text as a method of scoring for the modular synthesiser. Continuing a trilogy that began with 2018’s ‘Lines’, Distant Animals new work ‘Weaves’ is the artists second album for Hallow Ground, and marks a movement away from the formers ‘pure’ drone to a more rhythmic form of timbral composition.
Inspired by the writing of anthropologist Tim Ingold, the work is orientated by a single atonal rhythmic sequence transposed across several voices, blending crashing bells, strums, and blocks with waves of swelling granular synthesis, until eventually descending into a wash of cavernous field-recordings.
Over its 33 minute length, the album invokes avant-garde compositional strategies to create an emergent and increasingly hostile sound-world that reflects the works underlying concept. As a researcher and academic exploring the ‘social-function’ of art-making, Distant Animals music posits that creativity, rather than being the domain of ’specialist ‘artists’, is a facet of everyday life. As such, ‘Weaves’, and the score upon which it is based, promotes a method of semi-aleatoric composition in which each moment recontextualises those that precede it, affording radically different interpretations of its materials as it progresses, though rarely straying from the same fundamental sound world. Art, as with life, is comprised of an endless stream of minute creative decisions that together form the basis of human experience.Completing the ‘A Process of a Line-making’ trilogy, the album is accompanied by a third instalment, ‘Threads’. Available exclusively as a limited run cassette, ‘Threads’ further incorporates the social into the compositional narrative.
‘Threads’ concludes its trilogy in a playful, yet haunting fashion that seeks to sonify the socio-political research upon which it is based.
Like ‘Lines’ and ‘Weaves’, it is based upon the modular synthesiser, but here frames it with field-recordings, harmonium, feedback, and percussion, each voice reflecting different aspects of modern communal life. Drawing upon drum machines and plundered folk songs, alongside recordings of the composers scored walks across the beaches of Southern England,
