In the summer of 2015, against the backdrop of the Italian Dolomites, a friendship between two European heavy underground bands was struck. Now, Roman psych-doom formation L'Ira Del Baccano and Tilburgian doom rock outfit Yama join forces in a musical collaboration: their split album Tempus Deorum, released on Subsound Records. The background is less picturesque, the bands see this international collaboration as an artistic response to emerging nationalistic navel-gazing. L'Ira's contribution comprises a drawn-out instrumental psych doom jam, in which they fully expand the concept of an ever-evolving song, taking a theme and leading it on a dynamic roller-coaster journey, reshaping it through the heaviness of doom, the tension, physicality, and psychedelia of improvisation, and the precision of progressive rock. Yama brings some of their doomiest tracks to the table and experiments with psychedelic drone elements, in collaboration with producer David Luiten (Autarkh). Tempus Deorum ('time of the gods') is not only an allegorical congregation of deities, it is a bastion for the confluence between two manifestations of psychedelic heaviness. Also available on black vinyl (SSR 153LP) and black/green vinyl (SSR 153LTD-LP).

Lera is a brand-new Sardinian quartet forging a unique blend of post-rock, post-metal and doom, weaving hypnotic and heavy riffs with atmospheric soundscapes. Their music thrives on contrasts -- crushing, repetitive riffs that spiral into obsession, dissolving into delicate ambient textures that evokes a dreamlike state. Rêverie thrives on contrasts-crushing, repetitive riffs that spiral into obsession, dissolving into delicate ambient textures that evokes a dreamlike state. If you're looking for hypnotic and heavy riffs, slow arpeggios and crushing crescendos, powerful rhythms and ethereal vocals, just go for it -- you will not be disappointed.

redrum (with a lowercase r) is the original music for the dance performance of the same name by the gruppo nanou (with lowercase g and n). Composed in 2023 and staged in 2024, it won the Ubu Prize for best dance show of the year. The collaboration between Bruno Dorella and gruppo nanou has been going on for many years now, and for this show the music is almost entirely electronic, with rare inserts of guitar, bass and vocals. Bruno Dorella plays, produces and mixes the entire work, in a process that, as with the previous Paradiso, involves continuous dialogue with choreographers Rhuena Bracci and Marco Valerio Amico, and with the bodies of the company's dancers.

Sigillum S have been exploring unknown territories among extreme electronics, fringe acoustics and occultist noise since 1985. With an original line-up of Italian experimental electronic composers Eraldo Bernocchi, Paolo L. Bandera, and Luca Di Giorgio, throughout their 40-year gestation, the noise merchants have worked with musicians including Ain Soph, The Sodality, Gerstein, Iugula-Thor, Out Of Body Experience, Bill Laswell, Zu, Crisis, Thomas Felhmann, Gudrun Gut, Toshinori Kondo, SH Fernando and the Wordsoundcrew, Dive, Colin Edwin, sculptor Milo Sacchi, multimedia artist Petulia Mattioli, and many others. Sigillum S have been constantly evolving. The current formation consists of original members Eraldo Bernocchi and Paolo L. Bandera with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Bruno Dorella and visual artist Petulia Mattioli. On Aborted Towns, The Deadly Silence Before Utopia they continue to develop their own brand of post-industrial audio investigations, employing sound as a tool for mapping the subconscious and a reconfiguration of cognitive processes. Tracks such as "Lemur Agony" and "Forgotten Utopias" exist in an ever-changing continuum of harsh, irregular beats with sudden shifts in experimental atmospheres, while "Permafrost" and "Infective Carnations" are unsettling, decadent electronic mutations. Aborted Towns is more than just music -- it is an architecture of sound, a ghostly residue of memories and echoes. The shifting balance between claustrophobic tension and vast, desolate space invites the listener into a hypnotic, unsettling journey. It lingers, seeps into the subconscious, and refuses to be forgotten. Also available on black (SSR 152LP) and striped color vinyl (SSR 152LTD-LP).

ZAÄAR is a Belgian collective, twin project of Neptunian Maximalism, the cosmic free-jazz orchestra that has been turning the heads of psychedelic, experimental and space ambient music lovers. Composed by singer and multi-instrumentalist Guillaume CZLT, saxophonist Jean-Jacques Duerinckx, drummer Sébastien Schmit, bassist HP Desrosiers and the electronics of Didier Nietzsche, the group produces a psychedelic free-jazz soaked in droning-ambient, which awakens and stimulates old and forgotten senses since humanity lives in a grey and industrialized reality. Through the music of ZAÄAR, listeners return to a time when everything was new, dangerous and exciting. Welcome to the jungle! Ovules is a series of improvisations performed by ZAÄAR in various spaces all over the kingdom of Belgium. Ovules is a triptych inspired by Tchouang-Tseu's fable "The dream of the butterfly" about dream and reality reciprocity. Ovules is a surrealist jazz manifest due to a collaboration between labels WV Sorcerer Productions and Subsound Records and the preacher of the band's first proper studio album. Limited Edition 7"-6-panel trifold cover with OBI.

Ainu is a Genoese cinematic sludge/post-doom trio established in 2021. Ainu is a concept record that moves between powerful and stirring soundscapes, building up at a slow but steady pace between psychedelia and post-metal, stemming from the Genoa trio's passion for cinema and their close relationship with the sea, its stories and creatures. Featuring special appearances from Lili Refrain as well as Francesco Bucci (Ottone Pesante) and Giorgio Nattero (Carcharodon), this album is an intense, emotionally dense experience that uses the descriptive foundations of seamen and the calls of huge animals to recall the connection between the sound and the environment. An electrifying cinematic journey for the heart and soul of heavy music lovers.

For over 15 years, Zu's modus operandi of straddling and abusing musical genres has resulted in over fifteen unique album releases across labels such as Ipecac, Atavistic and Headz (Japan). Their experimental amalgam of metal, math, no-wave, noise and electronics, led acclaimed composer John Zorn to describe their sound as "a powerful and expressive music that totally blows away what most bands do these days." In the running for the title of "the world's hardest working band," Zu have performed over 1000 shows throughout Europe, US, Canada, Asia, Russia, Mexico and even Africa, touring with the like of Mike Patton (as the Zu/Patton Quartet), also sharing the stage with Faith No More, Fantômas, The Melvins, Lightning Bolt, Sonic Youth, The Ex, and countless others. They have also collaborated with a vast number of musicians including Mike Patton, The Melvins, Dälek, Jim O' Rourke, FM Einheit (Einsturzende Neubauten), Peter Brötzmann, Nobukazu Takemura, Eugene Robinson (Oxbow), Steve MacKay (The Stooges), The Ex, Thurston Moore, Stephen O Malley, Damo Suzuki (Can), Mats Gustafsson, NoMeansNo, and Joe Lally (Fugazi). Carboniferous is their masterpiece. Originally released on Ipecac in 2009, it includes collaborations with Mike Patton, King Buzzo, and Giulio Ragno Favero.

In January 1999, after years of continuous daily rehearsals, Zu entered the studio to record Bromio. The album was released in October of the same year to immediate and enthusiastic feedback from the press and the public, and a few months later Zu began to play on stages all over Europe. But the band's inexperience in recording work weighed on them, because the impact they had live was not present in the sound of the CD at all. So it was that during the slightly forced hiatus from 2020 onwards, they finally found the time to reopen those recordings, rework them in various ways, resonate some parts and release Bromio 25 years later in a sound that was much closer to the impact and sound system of their live performances. Listening to it again 25 years later, it still sounds fresh and vibrant, not tied to any predetermined genre or fashion of the moment (it is curious and almost comical that they were called "jazzcore" when in fact the basis of their sound drew much more from prog and metal). Enjoy!

Since 1995, orphaned by their previous project, the three founding members of Zu (Jacopo Battaglia, Luca Mai, and Massimo Pupillo) had been hanging out in the historic small room in Piazza Degli Zingari in Rome, every day, all day long, working nights and sometimes sleeping directly in the basement so as not to waste time. Looking for their own voice, without excluding any direction: electronics, tapes, sequencer cello (played by their friend Francesco Chiari), and of course their first iconoclastic outbursts on bass sax and drums. One can obviously hear the shared love for NoMeansNo and Ruins, but much more was already part of Zu's DNA, including an instinctive ability to digest the myriad listens and influences that permeated them, without ever copying anything but transforming everything into their own personal voice. After about two years of intense and continuous rehearsals, this tape was the first demo they sent out, recorded in that room by their friend Giampaolo Felici, with whom they shared that space and with whom years later they would also found Ardecore. The cassette went around so much that the Zu themselves could not find a single copy of it, until one mysteriously reappeared, intact and still perfectly listenable, which transferred and mastered became, more than 25 years later, The Lost Demo.

Pyramid is an instrumental trio hailing from Nuremberg, Germany. Their new album Beyond Borders Of Time is the follow-up to their 2019 debut album. A mesmerizing journey through stoner psychedelia and progressive e instrumental rock, it weaves a kaleidoscopic landscape that unfolds like a sonic travel through time and space. Their craftsmanship and heady grooves make them a must-have for fans of bands like My Sleeping Karma or Yawning Man. The first stones to Pyramid were placed at the house of former singer Steinmetz (Sascha Dametz), together with former drummer Julian Klusacek, bassist Michael Kümpflein, and guitarist Shane Saban. After Klusacek left Germany for Bali and vocalist Steinmetz decided to follow his own path, the band welcomed drummer Lukas Schomann on board, opening the door to the now-trio full potential and helping define their sound. After the release of their debut album in 2019, two European tours, multiple shows and festivals appearances in Germany (including performances alongside Colour Haze and Elder), Pyramid is now ready to unfold its magical seven-tracker Beyond Borders of Time.

Imagine Crowbar on a diet singing the Ramones refrains at an AC/DC show with Metallica as an opening act. "Rosa" is Italian for "pink" but it also refers to the flower itself. Rosa sounds incisive and unconventional, its nine tracks brimming with a buzzing energy and featuring playful vocals and melodies, muscular riffs and highly propulsive drums.
