distributor, label from USA



========RELEASES========


ANU is the soul creation of Drathrul from late 1995 until the present, though nothing was ever pushed as it was for his own listening. A few tracks were dubbed for some people but it was about if people heard it or not.

The mixture of grim black metal and dark experimentation was the foundation of ANU and still remains today. Alot of the music is improvised as well. Pure flowing darkness........

The first release is a limited 7" on Ma-Kahru Distribution. There are only 200 pressed and there will never be a re-pressing. Tracklisting: Intro / The Fire Returns Within the Realms of Blackfrost Into the Gates of Eternity Towards Thy Frozen Dominion



COMPILATION CD "Insights of the profane"

Black Metal ~ Black Ambient

The Ideology: Satanic Black Art, as manifest by the artists and their vision of it. The 2 genres in question, for me, have always had "overlaps in both vision, as well as final art form. This compilation's manifestation is to elaborate on that, and perhaps gel in the minds and hearts of the scene (and beyond?) the true thread that binds them...

The lineup and track listing for the compilation, as they will appear:

1.) Anapthergal {Fin} "Apostatic Sonorities" ...creates music of a bleak mixture of noise and ambience in a dark, atmospheric approach. It is a mix of minimal looping of processed and droning vocals, leadened with sparse hums and drones, demonic rasps and insane machine sounds. A very bleak and cold experience... Anapthergal - jniemi@hit.fi

2.) Abigor {Aut} "Utopia Consumed" ...create majestic soundscapes of dark atmospheres, within the context of Black-Metal art. Lords of the scene, they are a band marked by diverse ability, as they have been very agressive and technical, or extremely raw and brutal... Abigor - exitusnox@netway.at Napalm Records - napalm@silverlink.net

3.) Baal {US} "Extinction" ...a practitioner of dark ambient/death industrial/noise, blackened drones of epic terror and dark, fleshy clouds of dread. The sounds within the music evoke a labyrinth of soul depleting, spirit annihilating, sonic evisceration... BaaL - BaaL7Ava@aol.com

4.) Azaghal {Fin} "Inhimillisyyden Tuollapuolen" ("Beyond Humanity") ...are a rising horde of grim and hateful blasphemers. Their direction is in the vein of rawness, while attaining a very blackened occult atmosphere... Azaghal - tomi.kalliola@pp.inet.fi

Judas Iscariot {US} "The Black Clouds Roll Under the Parapet of the Sky" (from the CD "Distant in Solitary Night") ...black metal inspired by hatred for Xian hypocrisy and lies, nihilistic ideology, and the philosophies of Nietzsche.

The resulting trance inducing/ritualistic hymns focus on and delivering pure darkness... Moribund Records - moribund@waypt.com
