Collapsar
Beyond the Event Horizon (TumorCD38)
Malignant presents another rising star within the dark ambient scene, this time in the form of French act Collapsar. With their debut CD, “Beyond The Event Horizon” Collapsar transports the listener on an epic journey deep into the cosmos, forging a path across a vast, inky void, and steering a course around a roiling galactic core of hyper-dense stars and black holes. The sound is epic, expansive, and most of all, HEAVY. There is beauty and tranquility within these realms, but there is no light – just massive, pulsating textures coalescing into shimmering drones, rippling sound waves, and billowing, multi-dimensional layers of powerful dark energy. “Beyond the Event Horizon” is without question, dark ambient in its purest form and one of the more genre defining releases of the last several years. In 6 panel digipak, designed by eye:lyft.

“Very much recommended!” Gothtronic

“as intense a dark ambient listening experience as you are likely to hear” Electro Ambient Space

“ Collapsar like no other knows how good dark ambient stuff has to be composed…this album is pure sensation!” Side-Line

"This has been one of my favorite debut albums of 2009 and it’s a fantastic introduction into the world of dark ambient music." Lunar Transmissions

Sektor 304
Soul Cleansing CD (TumorCD43)
Equipped with a frightening and impressive array of primitive instrumentation pulled from junkyards and scrap metal heaps, this Portuguese outfit has delivered an astounding formal debut – a heady mixture of truly old school industrial in the vein of Einsturzende Neubauten, Test Dept , and S.P.K , and the grinding, bass heavy dirge of vintage Swans and Godflesh .
With a solid foundation of rusty, oil drenched percussion, Sektor 304 adds layer upon layer of squalling industrial clangor, hammering metallic noise, grimy atmospheres, heaving masses of haunted factory drones, and threatening tribal batter, with a strong and commanding vocal presence. The sound here is almost physical in nature – provocative, persistent, and demanding.

Editors Pick Nov 2009 - Smother.net "Frigid synthetic unmelodies collide with industrial-sized caustic noise and abrasive metal clanks and clicks forge the audible nightmare that is “Soul Cleansing”. Sektor 304 is industrial in the vein of early era Einsturzende Neubauten, Godflesh, and Clock DVA (Jeffrey Dahmer’s favorite band). Noise and apocalypse never sounded so uninviting and yet so seductive. Atmospheric blends of soundscapes with percussion that hammers away at your eardrums, tantalizing your soul. If Sektor 304 sounds like a nightmare factory that’s because it is – this assembly line is one that builds the robots of the future that take over Earth and obliterate Mankind"

"Release of the Issue - the greatest achievement I've heard in noise in years...this record has truly blown me away". Zero Tolerance Issue 33 (Jan/Feb 2010)

9/10 Necroweb.de

"Highly recommended" Gothtronic

"Phenomenal ...my absolute recommendation" kulturterrorismus.de

"Brilliant..." Side-line.com

"For fans of real industrial music own, this is absolutely a must. I do not think I've ever picked up a Malignant release I did not like, but this one has set the bar amazingly high" plaguehaus.com

Phelios
Astral Unity CD (TumorCD44)
Following two CDs on Eternal Soul and a recent split 12” on LOKI, Germany’s revered dark ambient project Phelios makes their first appearance for Malignant. With its swirling cosmic drones and sweeping, cinematic drift, the music of Phelios is breathtaking and hypnotic, often evok...ing moments of serenity and beauty, yet spiking them with deep cushions of ritualistic percussion and textural squalls that suggest something much more ominous and threatening looms on the vast horizon. Collectively, Astral Unity is thoughtful and concise – a vivid and richly detailed entity that’s alive and constantly evolving, channeling the universe while simultaneously exploring the inner regions of a more primordial earth. In 6 panel digipak, with gold foil stamping

"Astral Unity is a thoughtfully designed and balanced ambient work that can be lined up in the same sentence with masters of cosmic ambient Inade. Astral Unity is therefore a release not to be missed. Phelios has created a masterpiece, absolutely delightful and highly recommended. 9/10" Gothtronic

"Simply amazing! Funeral Rain

Yen Pox
Blood Music 2CD Re-issue (TumorCD41) 15 years after it’s original release, and out of print for almost as long, Yen Pox’ Blood Music has finally been re-issued. Regarded by many as a benchmark recording within the realm of dark ambient music, this deluxe 2CD edition contains a completely re-mastered and remixed version of Blood Music plus a previously unreleased track on disc 1, as well as the first cassette and various compilation and 7” releases on disc 2. Combined, the discs offer well over two hours of colossal, mind bending atmospherics of the highest order, the sounds radiating outwards into a sprawling horizon of sulfur dark skies, then descending into a relentless maelstrom of shifting textures, treacherous reverberations, and endless, sinister drift.

Packaged in a luxurious 8 panel DVDdigipak, with completely new design by Andre Coelho (Sektor 304), this is the perfect marriage of both music and packaging, and will further solidify Blood Music’s status as one of the all time classic dark ambient releases.

"...one of the few albums that does justifiably deserve to be called a classic and a genre defining moment is the dark ambient master work that is Yen Pox's first album 1995’s Blood Music...this is a must have item and one of the darkest and chilling atmospheric records ever made" Musique Machine

"...This is, in my opinion, one of the best things Malignant has ever released and a benchmark for future dark ambient releases the world over. Totally essential. Convivial Hermit

Phaenon
His Master's Voice CD (TumorCD45) After the well received debut Submerged, Phaenon follows things up with an even deeper immersion into a world of bleak, isolationist sounds. Whereas Submerged was one long and infinitely expansive drone piece, His Master’s Voice is broken up into four separate, but flowing tracks of sprawling and spacious ambient drift, laced with interstellar disturbances, probing, alien tones and icy shards of celestial debris…a whirling specter of darkness and void-ic space, thematically based upon the 1968 novel of the same name by Stanislaw Lem, which is centered around the efforts by scientists to decode, translate and understand a series of extraterrestrial transmissions. As a whole, His Master’s Voice represents a logical progression in Phaenon’s sound and is the ultimate in headphone listening.

"...a truly fascinating experience for the lovers of dark ambient music!" Side-Line.com

"5/5 stars. Great dark ambient and quite engaging. Highly recommended!" Chain DLK

Wolfskin
Stonegates of Silence CD (TumorCD46) And so the journey formally ends for Wolfskin, 15 years from whence it began with the release of the Hidden Fortress cassette back in 1995. The essence of Wolfskin has transformed and mutated throughout the years, reaching on "The Stonegates of Silence" it's simpler form….one of desolation, solitude, insanity and death, the final frontiers of human existence. As he did with The Hidden Fortress: A Revisitation CD, Wolfskin once again pairs up with Anders Peterson of Objekt 4 fame, now operating under the name of Last Industrial Estate for the purposes of this recording. This is Wolfskin at its bleakest and most restrained, offering 5 tracks of enveloping ambience built around foggy, ambiguous textures and an endless flow of drifting isolationism, shapeless horrors, and oppressive subterranean heaviness. In the case of Stonegates, Wolfskin goes out not with a bang, but with a slow, evolutionary creep into the shadows, forever etched in the lexicon of dark ambient music

"Surely one of the most captivating dark ambient releases of 2010!" Side-Line.com

False Mirror
Derelict World CD (TumorCD47) In the beginning it looked like an ordinary storm...
After three years of intense work, Dark Ambient disciple False Mirror returns with his third full-length journey, aptly entitled "Derelict World".
With the timeless drones of his debut "Chronostatic Scenes" and the icy soundscapes on his highly acclaimed sophomore masterpiece "North" still resonating through space, solo artist Tobias Hornberger delivers "Derelict World", his most massive and epic undertaking so far.
As its two brooding predecessors, also his third work of masterfully crafted Ambient has become a monumental alliance of dark drones, frostbitten soundscapes and warm vibrating tones from the deep bowels of the earth. Famous for his skilled use of field recordings from an extrem ely diversified range (some of the recordings stem from an old monastery, the medieval city of Ulm or the Arabian sea) and for his ability to cloak the superior forces of nature into menacing, yet beautifully devised sounds, "Derelict World" also offers a truly apocalyptic concept that blends perfectly with the dense wall of sound on this mysterious Ambient challenge: Nothing less than the end of humanity, brought upon this world by the relentless forces of nature forms the basis on which the resonating and thundering tracks develop into chimaeras of terrible momentum, ever-changing and ever-increasing their dramatic potential.
Devised with sophisticated software he solely created for composing this album, False Mirror easily evokes elemental feelings like sublimity, fear or trepidation - culminating in an impending sense of doom that never leaves the listener and brings to life the destructive side of nature that surrounds us every day.
From the sheer force of a tornado set loose to the beguiling calm within the eye of the storm, "Derelict World" is a 74 minute long sonic journey into a desolated, depopulated world.
A 20 page booklet with a conceptually linked short story written by author and journalist Bjørn Springorum accompanies the release. The album is moreover equipped with a number of hidden messages that lead to a rewarding "Bonus World" on falsemirror.de.
... and the rest was silence.

"9.5/10 A must have album for dark ambient fans!" Connexion Bizarre

"This is a must-listen for dark ambient fans" Hypnagogue

One of the essential dark-ambient releases of the year! 9.3/10 Surreal Immersion

Control
- Deadly Sins CD (TumorCD48) Cold, jarring tracks of massively built power electronics and horror filled death industrial , full of clamoring factory debris, razor sharp sheets of sonic violence, and grisly metallic grind, rounded out by Garrison's trademark vocal devastation! Artwork by John Balistreri of Slogun.

Negru Voda
- Vald de Luxe 3CD (TumorCD42) Built upon a strong foundation of punishing and persistent rhythms and cold, analogue pulsations, these are colossal soundscapes, where harsh, factory corrosion is met with insidious waves of distorted, electro-shock blasts streaked with highly ominous and bleak atmospherics as fueled by pints of lager, drams of Islay single malt, alienization, media wastelands, and cold Scandinavian winters. Proof that Swedish death industrial still reigns supreme!

10/10 Necroweb.de

Rasalhague
Rage Inside the Window (TumorCD49) Dirty and impenetrably dark, with an intertwining mass of demonic squalls, intense probing, highly ominous tonal drones, distant monolithic pulsations, and bleak isolationism. 6 lengthy tracks of pure psychological horror are presented here, with each piece segueing into each other in transforming waves, progressively getting darker, brooding, and more menacing as it goes.
