BOSSE – Echoes of the forgotten (CD/A5 DIGIPACK)



Chapter I of the DESOLATION PROPAGANDA collection.

After a few private and published demo recordings, Brooklyn-based Richard BOSSE delivers
his debut album. After an impressive third demo - the first one to be made public - BOSSE
has now taken things to a whole superior level in terms of emotional rendition through the
bleakest form of acoustic funeral folk. All you will find here is melancholy, nostalgia and
voluntary isolation from all that is human. Makes you wonder if this was created by someone
living on the same planet.
This work of seclusion truly is the fiddler’s tune of our funeral to come.

Format: CD/A5 digipack limited to 100 copies with regular booklet.

Sample:
Bosse - V

NOX INFERI – Adverse spheres (CD/A5 DIGIPACK)



Chapter II of the DESOLATION PROPAGANDA collection.

NOX INFERI is the new project of Wraith, mastermind of Australian band NAZXUL, helped
in this dark affair by Lurker on drums (TOIL, ex-VROLOK) and NH on prophetic vocal
rendition (CORPUS CHRISTII).
Ghoulish, apocalyptic and experimental black metal of the highest level.
Feels like you’re the last human contemplating citadels in ruins while rejoicing at the thought
of your own forthcoming decay.
Any form of life has long since then left this putrid cadaver.

Format: CD/A5 digipack limited to 100 copies with regular booklet.


Sample:
NOX INFERI - VI

AUSTERE/ISOLATION – Bleak (CD/A5 DIGIPACK)



Chapter III of the DESOLATION PROPAGANDA collection.

Bleak is the adjective chosen by the two entities to name their collaboration. You could not
have thought of a more appropriate term to describe the audial content of this masterpiece.
After a fantastic debut album (re-released by THOSE OPPOSED RECORDS), Australian
AUSTERE contributes three excellent tracks to the split cd with an even stronger emphasis
on the desperate side of their art.

On the other hand, ISOLATION, after three convincing demotapes, contributes three tracks
as well and evolves towards something more pure than ever before. The German band has
now gained a complete identity of their own through what could be called intimist blackened
doom metal with scarce clear voices, e-bow, and remnants of their previous recordings’ harsh
vocals. A very interesting evolution for a band which denies stagnation.

Format: CD/A5 digipack limited to 100 copies with regular booklet.

Samples:
AUSTERE - When even tomorrow looks away
ISOLATION - Mosaic

AUSTERE – Withering illusions and Desolation (CD/A5 DIGIPACK)



Chapter IV of the DESOLATION PROPAGANDA collection.

AUSTERE’s debut album finally made available worldwide. AUSTERE means total despair
and contempt through a high-class and well-performed desolate black metal. You will find icy
riffs, harsh vocals and deleterious atmosphere all along this one. Re-released with renewed artwork.

Format: CD/A5 digipack limited to 100 copies with regular booklet.

Sample:
AUSTERE - Withering illusions & Desolation

LYRINX – Nihilistic purity (CD/A5 DIGIPACK)



Chapter V of the DESOLATION PROPAGANDA collection.

LYRINX debut album finally made available worldwide. British nihilistic black metal born
from the darkest pits. LYRINX’s art is pure desolation made tangible through loud
and harsh black metal with fast parts.
Re-released with new improved artwork, lyrics published for the first time and a 10-minute
bonus track entitled “Reflection of opposites” which is exclusive to this definitive re-release.

Format: CD/A5 digipack limited to 100 copies with regular booklet.

Sample:
LYRINX - Another life ready to end

2 TAPES ARE ALSO OUT NOW


NIHDRYM – Kosmosophia (DEMO TAPE)



NIHDRYM is a new project born from old timers of the underground.
Kosmosophia introduces raw cosmic black metal strongly influenced by the old Polish black
metal scenes and acts such as Veles, Infernum and early Graveland while displaying a strong
identity with eerie, cosmic keyboard passages among other things.
Sounds like it was recorded in some damp basement in the early 90’s.
Vilwolfheim of Sombre Chemin handles the drums and keyboards on the recording.
The demo includes a Legion of Doom covertrack.

Format: TAPE (double-sided pro cover, limited to 500 units)

Sample:
NIHDRYM - Fountain of Mimir



AKITSA/THESYRE – Split (rerelease of the EP on TAPE)



Released in 2004 by Sadolust Records on 7"EP, the split material presents the collaborative work of OT
from AKITSA and THESYRE. Three souls united against the current, the politically correct
and the established values of modern society.
It was time to make it available on tape format for those of you who don’t own a vinyl player.

Format: TAPE (double-sided pro cover, limited to 500 units)

Sample:
AKITSA/THESYRE - Révolution

The next issue of Zero Tolerance Mag will feature a review of Nox Inferi's debut album as well as an interview with Hekal Xul.
Few words, courtesy of N.Birk:
"Best of this bunch, hands down: Nox Inferi's Adverse Spheres debut. The brainchild of Nazxul string / synth-mangler Adrian Henderson but with a ghoulish vocal assist by Corpus Christii mainman Horrendus, Adverse Spheres manages to slow Nazxul’s near-inpenetratable lunar haze to a ritualistic crawl – even when there’s (rare) blasting going on! Seriously, the soundscaping here is simply sublime, and it’s remarkable that something so foul can simultaneously sound so sensual. In short: out of this world. [5.5/6]
