New dark ambient project by Marc Merinee (known for his martial industrial act Eldar). Asbaar is a meeting with our ancestors who speak to us in our dreams, and teach us how to run our lives, everything that lies between the energies that move the world.

Spanning nearly an hour, "My Garden" invites a complete surrender to its sonic environment, where texture, tone, and atmosphere merge into a seamless and meditative experience. A testament to the enduring power of minimalism and patience in sound design.
Residing somewhere between Dark Wave, Post Punk and Batcave, the Italians succeed in creating a charming niche with their debut album. Ash Code have managed to blend the cold despair of the post-punk of the early eighties, with modern catchy sounds.
Great Live-Album by three of the best known and most venerated artists on SwissDarkNights: Ash Code, Hapax and Geometric Vision. Limited edition of 500 in digipak, with 5 tracks by each of the these three gifted Post-Punk/Darkwave/death Rock acts!
A turning point for Ash Code - mainly focused on Darkwave electronic music but including a dirtier and rawer approach, entailing claustrophobic sounds, unusual musical instruments and a lot of echoes straight out of the 80s Goth and Industrial scene.
The eagerly expected second opus delivered by the Italian Electro Wave band, in which Ash Code have tried to use different instruments and venture further with sounds. Re-issued with new artwork and 4 bonus tracks!
A live session recorded by Ben Hussey at the wonderful Comp-NY studios in Los Angeles during the first Ash Code USA tour in summer 2019! All of the most ‘classic’ Ash Code tracks and quite different special versions! Lim. 500x.

“Synthome” draws from personal loss, inner collapse, and rebirth. Inspired by Lacan’s “sinthome”, where symptom becomes identity, the album fuses Darkwave, EBM and Synthpop into a cinematic post-pandemic manifesto of survival and transformation.
Inspired by brutalist, postmodern and utilitarian architectural structures that are found throughout post-industrial cities, hauntological in nature. Ashenspire takes a unique approach to Black Metal with a strong taste for theatrics.
Four years after their homonymous debut, the Italian ensemble finally completes their second album, a masterpiece which not only embodies the romantic backdrop of early 1900’s glamour but that also flirts with a slightly naïve Folk spirit occasionally.
Finally available again, the first sold-out album, now with a new unreleased track. Nostalgic and ethereal music, which brings to mind Michael Nyman's original sountracks.

Influences of Wave and Industrial are condensed into perfect Angst Pop. Depressive and touching vocal performance exclusively in Icelandic language. Super dark, super sad, super beautiful!
With over 40 minutes of ferocious, ugly and tormented Black Metal, Askeregn remains true to their unpleasant approach to the genre, yet still able to develop their sound further in their own chaotic and hallucinatory ways.
“Null” is at once both anthemic, dance-floor EBM Electro-industrial and a deeply personal statement on the world today. A magnificent album from one of the world’s best Electro projects ever!
Amazing, deeply emotional and romantic music with the help of vintage analog synthesizers and open-reel tape recorder. An oppressive, yet captivating work that travels from lysergic and mutant electronic textures to degraded samples and hypnotic voices.
After visiting the Parisian cabarets, Ataraxia return to Greek shores to rediscover ancient rituals and traditions. A felt following of "Lost Atlantis". The natural accomplishment of the voyage.

The Australians return with their third album – and they are as laconic and without any pretensions as when they went into extended hibernation after the release of their sophomore full-length "To Lay like Old Ashes" in 2009.
While "Corrosion of Hearts" formed the bridge between their musical history and the artists' fresh vision, "Beneath the Threshold" takes a leap of expression, with more hooks and melodic harmonies to complement the guitar textures and emotive drumming.

There is literal birdsong all over "Nocturnal Birding", and transposing those melodies and rhythms to guitar became the root of the material, representing a rare coming together of the natural world and mechanized sounds.
A sliver of strings, a squeal of feedback, pulsing drums, sheets of steely guitar and sonorous bass, and a rough, declamatory voice - from these primary components, Leeds quintet AUTOBAHN unfurl their second album. One for fans of Bauhaus, Sisters et al.
Autobahn have re-emerged with many of the hallmarks of their characteristic blend of Industrial Post-Punk intact, but under the bonnet they’re a much leaner, more focused machine, which embraces a hardened take on Electronic Body Music.
