FEARTHAINNE "Self titled debut double CD" (Over two hours of music)
2xCD 016 - 6''x6''/6 panel GATEFOLD.
$20(US) $23(World)

I have the tremendous honor of announcing, what is to be our Winter Solstice 2008 release. From Cascadian soil, FEARTHAINNE will bless us with a pure nostalgia for being. A debut full length 2xCD, embracing four deeply potent healing crafts of acoustic mourning & regeneration. Featuring the two spirits of Cascadia's Ritual Black Metal atavism FAUNA.

Fearthainne's first release represents the nadir of a journey into earth. Conceptualized and written in wild environments in the West, this collection of songs is a picture of the labyrinth traveled by a human organism, seeking life outside the long shadows of unremitting gray. The seekers masquerading as musicians who have created this document have used these sounds as a conduit for the reconnection with being, and have chosen to make it available to those who might hear the voice of the Others speaking to them from within. Exclusively utilizing acoustic instrumentation, Fearthainne is the unending rain that calls forth the blossom, the harbinger of the organic future we inevitably face. A sonic expression of green in all its capacities, this project is a document of the search for Home, a declaration that we will never settle for existence in the meaningless maze of history.

As beings we have struggled for many years to imbue our lives with depth, bending our ears towards the chorus of elders that the natural world is. Brought to fruition in a culture whose theme is loss, we recognize the wisdom of Earth in the various shifts that will unravel these ten millennia of aberration, and celebrate the dawning of day for what is truly human. As participants in this calamity, we call forth those spirits of the land, sea and sky who have always borne witness to our cyclical lives, the deep mind of which we are only a part, to see us and hear our voices as we proclaim our allegiance to Life. May this blood that flows from us cleanse the land of its wounds. May our animal bodies shield our battered hearts as we break the hands of Time. May this be the end...

Finally, we are excited to announce the 2nd full length album from The ELEMENTAL CHRYSALIS entitled "The Dark Path To Spiritual Expansion". Featuring original visual crafts by James Woodhead & printed within an extensive 2xCD, 6 panel gatefold on obscure Sage colored stock. Both collections feature 4 pieces of music per disc, totaling roughly 2 hours of music...

The Earth Tongues have been consumed & with this, the mighty path of an Elemental Chrysalis becomes more clear. Onward through the door of a wooded heart, the Chrysalis gift transcending, organic acoustic doom composition & rich analog organ ritualism. With guided energies of the Winter Season, through the elder Pacific North Western woodlands, the mournful heart seeks comfort & cleansing in these times of blackened skies. This exploration & unique weaving of many audible threads, create the original sound that has become known today as The Elemental Chrysalis. From deeply depressing Classical movements, to lethargic rain soaked Blues Folk. Epic visual totems unfold with every breath! Seekers of today's true underground will find faith once again. This is pure headphone craft! Featuring the binding of two Capricorn spirits: RUHR HUNTER (Chet W. Scott) & AT THE HEAD OF THE WOODS (James Woodhead).

Honoring & respecting the more violent & masculine energies throughout Nature, the Black Owl returns with a debut full length album "Blood Of The Black Owl Vol. 1". A primitive fusion of slow tempo Earth Metal & Woodland Ritualistic Doom. SVART UGLE craft a dense fog of crusty droned out guitar composition inspired by Thor. An initial limited edition press of 100 copies, published in special hand made packaging bound in leather.

This production is Only available through GLASS THROAT RECORDINGS exclusively!
Note: This is NOT a RUHR HUNTER discography box set!

RUHR HUNTER "Moss & Memory"
CD 013 - 6''x6''/6 panel GATEFOLD.
$13(US) $15(World)

In the spirit of shamanic transcendence through ritual composition, an epic & surreal audible journey unfolds. Marking RUHR HUNTER'S (Chet W. Scott) 10 year anniversary & 3rd full length album! The "Moss & Memory" collection features an archive of personal cleansing & inner growth, sharing six eclectic & deeply personal rituals, that keeps RUHR HUNTER'S heart ever closer to Nature!

This wonderful debut original pressing features black foil stamping on obscure black leathery stock!

Arising from the verdant soils of Cascadia, Alethes bring us their epic debut album "Aletheia". Originally conceived as ritual, these are five timeless compositions comprised of mournful and warm acoustic guitars, shamanistic percussion, classical strings and deeply ancient vocal harmonies. Digging deep into the Earth and reaching ever higher to the Heavens in the eternal quest for illumination. Alethes emerge from tradition and disappear into Nature's shadows, yearning for a time past, or yet to be, where the ancient fires burn bright and the cycles of life are awarded their proper respect. This is a truly stunning craft folks, filled with deep healing...We strongly recommend!

THE ELEMENTAL CHRYSALIS "The Calocybe Collection"
CD 011 - 6"x 6"/6 panel GATEFOLD
$13(US) $15(World)

Ponder one of Ennio Morricone's gloomy "spaghetti western" folkscapes, fused with a deeply unsettling Alexandro Jodorowsky film score! "The Calocybe Collection" is pregnant with "heavy" Elizabethan classical orchestrations & acoustic hallucinatory funeral drones! Imagine a Victorian Pink Floyd collaboration with a band of woodland gypsies, performing acoustic funeral doom!!! A beautifully intense experience, conjuring vast forests of fog quilted mushrooms & darkened paths of self discovery!!!

THIS IS EPIC DRONE BLISS!!!

Inspired "musically" by such bands as: WINTER, BURZUM & CELTIC FROST, Svart Ugle is a minimally orchestrated "Metal Drone" project from composer Chet w. Scott. This 3 song DEMO EP clocks in at 29:00.

RUHR HUNTER "Torn of This"
CD 007 $10(US) $12(World)

Drone composer Chet W. Scott, has blossomed with his most passionate and personal collection of melancholia to date. "Torn of This" RUHR HUNTER'S sophomore solo release, brings a whole new set of dynamics to the soundscape table...Featuring nine beautifully flowing and timeless compositions, with a minimalist sound design, traditional folk elements and contemporary acoustical instrumentation. RUHR HUNTER'S "Torn of This" provides not only another audible journey for the listener to experience, but an absolute look into the composer's personal history, inspired through childhood emotions and experiences, geographical relations and the simple spirit of being. An evocative, sonic portrait of an essence, it's past and it's future...

Soundscape/drone environmentalists Nicolas Lampert (NOISEGATE) and Dave Canterbury (WAGE CLASS SLAVE) draw inspiration through an epic beauty, of being on a vast, dark and cold body of water within Alaska's "Inside Passage"...

BENEATH THE LAKE paint audible collages reflecting the splendor within the forces behind nature, which are grand, timeless and transcend human culture, logic and perception...From whales, to a wasp, to wind, environmental recordings are sampled and skillfully manipulated, then melded with melodic ambient guitar textures and dense synthesis to create an organic, warm and honest collection of movements...A spirited journey!!

..."One" presents a collection of 8 desolate movements, exploring ancient soundscapes and blacken atmospheres of cold-blooded emotion. With a minimalist sound design and ritualistic composition, tonal enviornments open doorways to a lull of trance inducing instrumentation...Clearly, "one" of the most intimate and unsettling audible experiences of 2001. With guest appearances by Shurik Waits and Vera Agnivolok of Israel's neo/folk project "AGNIVOLOK" ...GETTING LOW

"The Cessation of Spoil" draws from the styles of both respective projects, but ultimately sounds quite different from either. Combining clinical power electronics with humid organic drones, a pervasive dark ambience unfolds. TRIAGE has cut a path askew from much of what is being released these days...GETTING LOW!!!

...RUHR HUNTER'S first full length album explores the depths of dark minimalist structure, fused with rich ambient soundscapes. An apocalyptic journey through somber moods that swell without warning into abrasive, violent sound!

...Featuring 35min. of material each from these two projects... RUHR HUNTER offers a trance induced flow of desolate, improvised soundscapes and belligerent experimentation!... While GRUNTSPLATTER unites ultra dense atmospheres of sullen noise ambient, with sonic sounds so heavy, gravity could not compare!

HEROD'S debut release features three tracks of intense, black ritual orchestration and chaotic experimentation. Limited to 100 hand numbered copies...

BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL
"A Banishing Ritual (Into White)"
BINDRUNE RECORDINGS (US)
CD 011 $11.00(US) $13.00(World)

With Blood of the Black Owl’s 3rd full-length opus, "A Banishing Ritual (Into White)", our collective ritual Intent: To establish a unified awakening, a shared growth towards one brother's healing process.

We declare a meditative musical approach, to absorb this blackened energy, become it through growth & to release it back into the void. The Final Banishing... To set your spirit free from what binds you... With much strength we cleanse ourselves. Featuring one long track mapped into 4 movements, A Banishing Ritual is a full and all-encompassing release that will blur the lines between music and ritual expansion.

FAUNA "Rain" CD
AURORA BOREALIS (UK).
$13(US) $15(World)

Aurora Borealis from the United Kingdom is proud to present, the debut full length recording of "Rain" by the ultra obscure FAUNA. Based in the temperate rainforest region of the Pacific northwest, FAUNA are a strongly "eco-centric" two piece band working within the black metal genre. "Rain" consists of one epic track lasting over an hour. Beginning with a field recording of rain in a forest, the piece thereafter becomes an acoustic journey, sung vocals complete this section before a raw black metal surge of power and pummel.

FAUNA, featuring the two spirits ECHTRA & VINES (also of FEARTHAINNE), have crafted honest atavistic music within these dark times for humanity and the world that nurtures us.

BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL "A Feral Spirit"
AURORA BOREALIS 2xLP-026 (UK):
Deluxe 180g-2xLP w/A2 poster (Limited edition Of 1000) $23(US) $30(World)

The temperate rain forest of the Pacific northwest of the United States is a fecund node, both psychological and physical, profoundly affecting all that dwell there with the irresistible song of nature: The call to grow, to seek illumination, to gain nourishment, to grapple with the true reality of existence, to fight for survival among the ancient pines of a world wracked with modernity.

From this organic cauldron comes BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL. Formed in 2004 by Heathen visionary Chet W. Scott, (of noted ritual entity RUHR HUNTER), as a primitive fusion of slow tempo Earth Metal & Woodland Ritualistic Doom, the journey culminating in the debut self-titled album on Bindrune Records in 2006. An ode to the more destructive and primal elements found in not only nature, but in Black Metal and trance inducing Funeral Doom as well, the work marked a distinct movement away from the more ambient feel of much of the RUHR HUNTER material, while forging a unique musical path all his own in the deep woods of Washington State. 'A Feral Spirit' takes the journey further into the heart of the forest. Combining Native American ritual healing influence and the Germanic nature worship of his own heritage with an entirely transcendent musical vision, BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL gives praise to the spirits of nature and the unspoken bonds that tie man, beast and environment. With elements of Doom Metal, ambient, ritual and native musics in evidence throughout the album, BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL involve the listener in a timeless and spiritually expansive journey of discovery, evaluation and reflection over the course of the album's 71 minutes. With its rigid stand against modernity and monotheism, 'A Feral Spirit' is a clarion call for the rebirth of the human animal spirit and a return to the ancestral forests of our past. BLOOD OF THE BLACK OWL shall lead them...

From the fertile beginnings of the now SOLD OUT 3 song "Svart Ugle" demo, Chet has grown to fully realize the potential and full creative scope of this musical journey. Evolution. Honor. Nature. Strength. The debut Blood of the Black Owl full-length on Bindrune Recordings, features over 70 minutes of Cross crushing superiority through bold experimentation and a moss covered appreciation for the olden days of extreme metal. Forged in fire and unleashed upon Midgard, Blood of the Black Owl is here to lead the often lost Black/Doom Metal genre out of its own redundancy, and deep into the woods.

Formed in 2004 by the thunderous clap of Mjolner across the heavens, Blood of the Black Owl (Formerly known as Svart Ugle) is the Heathen journey of sole visionary Chet W. Scott. Widely known for his ritualistic musical exploration, through the shamanic transcendence of his solo craft Ruhr Hunter and the heavy drone folk duo The Elemental Chrysalis. Scott has stepped out of the ethereal realm with Blood of the Black Owl, to embrace the more destructive and primal elements found in not only nature, but Black Metal and trance inducing Funeral Doom as well. With his other musical achievements very much remaining a part of his songwriting style, Blood of the Black Owl is a completely unique entity that utilizes the staples of the aforementioned metal worlds, but makes the entire experience even more spiritually expansive as he explores shamanistic meditations, ritual drumming, eclectic instrumentation and envelops the body of his work with the mysteries of nature through its sounds, imagery and overall atmosphere. --Marty Rytkonen/Bindrune Recordings 2006.
