PSUDOKU and NILIM tapes out now!
NILIM - "Uncoiling" CS
Nílim (please note the accent on the first I which extends the vowel to make the word sound like "nee-lim") means "I am not" in the Irish language, but I'll tell you what Nílim actually is and that is one John Quill. John lives in Limerick on the west coast of Ireland and has done a number of bands in the past, most notably the post-metal outfit Third Island.
Nílim sees John go solo, armed with guitar, drum machine and vocals. It is intently slow and punishing, designed for a single purpose of weight and repetition. Using a stripped back and simplistic approach, Nílim performs a form of industrial sludge, with doom, post-metal, and shoegaze elements. Godflesh is a good musical touchstone.
This tape compiles the two recordings Nílim have done so far ("Uncoiling" and a demo) and includes a bonus track not seen before that brings it up to almost an hour of material. Aside from paying to get the tapes made (I just about managed to do that bit), John did absolutely everything on this thing from the music to the art, even to the sweet looking photos I'm using of the tape itself. Nílim even has a neocities site like me! It was a pleasure working with him.

PSUDOKU - "Psudoktrination" CS
Speaking of organised people, give it up for Steinar from Psudoku / Parlamentarisk Sodomi / BxSxRx / Brutal Blues who is similarly single-minded in their vision, both musically and artistically. Here's the blurb...
Not even the most sophisticated recommender systems will accurately predict your preference for this integration between sparse, echo effected grunts and metallic clanks dominated by fast space grind drumming and complex electric strings. Space junk special effects pollute the atmosphere, while the occasional wah pedal magnifies the radioactivity of the numerous barre chords, all in order to psudoktrinate audience members for several minutes at a time.
The 4.5th Psudoku album "Psudoktrination" contains 10 progressive space grind tracks totaling 27:24. Despite the formation of live-Psudoku in 2024, studio-Psudoku continues to operate as a one-shuttle mission specialist band.
Basically like all of Steinar's work it skirts the fine line of being hilarious good fun and sheer crazed brutality. I have loved everything he has done and I'm glad to have helped get this version of the album out.
Presentation wise it is the business. Drid Machine co-released it with me and did the sleeve which has a sparkly effect and also screenprinted art on the case itself.

MARROWBONE - s/t CS
Out December 19th 2025!
Marrowbone is a 3 piece heavy experimental post punk band from Dublin. Music does weird shit at the intersection of dark, metal-tinged bass lines, jumpy basement rock, and caterwauling vocals. A clattering seance in the weirdo woods for anyone with wounds to lick, heads to bang, arses to shake, or fascist systems to give their two fingers to.

HUBERT SELBY JUNIOR INFANTS - Bingo LP
Out May 16th 2025!
Eight songs that sound like being punched in the face and high fived at the same time! Four middle-aged men from Ireland use their time machine to bring noisy yet melodic post-hardcore back from the mid-90's. Sláinte.

JOTNARR - Rotten Fucking Planet CS
Out now!
It has been about four years since we had some sweetly hefty yet melodic black-metal-infused d-beat stuff from England's oldest city. Five tracks in 17 minutes, all on a translucent pink tape with stunning art by Wes Brown.
Extremely pleased to have this out after numerous delays which I have to admit were on the label's end. Apologies to the band and everyone who was waiting for this to come out.

ATOMCK - Towering Failures LP - out now!
Atomck are back! Expanded to a quartet, here is more of their uniquely eccentric and offbeat brand of grindcore for thee end-tymes. Another head crusher of cacophonous chaos, all furiously catchy riffs and inhumanly shrill, stuck-ape vocals with pinpoint drums that border on the chaotic.
"Newly expanded to a quartet, Towering Failures is undoubtedly the band's heaviest and most sonically flattening release to date, boasting a gigantic tone that sounds downright apocalyptic on slower numbers. For the most part though, this album races past at lightspeed, but manages to convey a host of different moods and textures in amongst its frantic delivery. Atomck have been getting better and better with each subsequent album, but this is surely their most powerful and definitive record to date, and one of the most inventive and memorable grindcore records of the year thus far." - The Quietus
"Like a budgie with a whistle" - Ninehertz
You can buy the LP from us, and the band also have copies at gigs and so on.
You can buy a download direct from the band: atomck.bandcamp.com/album/towering-failures
It will be available in stores and on streaming services soon.

I simplified the website a bit. I think it's important to have some sort of web presence outside of the social media sphere and am glad something like Neocities exists to host it.
We are back in the game with a few releases coming out this year:
Hozomeen - The Void LP [Out 05/05/23]
Hubert Selby Junior Infants - Good Evening Pricks, It's The... CS [Out 05/05/23]
plus more in the Autumn.
HOZOMEEN - The Void LP - Out 05/05/23
A mean, moody, minimalist piece of noise-rock by our old friend Graham Thompson who is/was in a slew of class bands in the Newcastle area, including but not limited to Jinn, Grace, OZO, Ballpeen, Jimmy Floyd Haisselband and Sea Ninety. Graham did practically everything on this, from the writing, performing and recording so it's very much his baby. A tense, dark approach to repetition coupled with effective, nasty riffing propels this classy bit of noise-rock. This LP is limited to 102 copies on black vinyl with a proper sleeve. Listen to a few tracks and watch the trailer below.
HUBERT SELBY JUNIOR INFANTS - Good Evening Pricks, It's The... CS - Out 05/05/23
The first songs by this Dublin band on audio cassette. Think of the good 90's indie / grunge bands with a bit more math and some bite and you're pretty much there. Think Sebadoh, Pixies, Nirvana, Slint, Swervedriver, Husker Du and the like. Full disclosure: I'm in this band, alongside some luminaries of the Dublin scene who have been in the likes of Drainland and Estel. Also strictly speaking, this is on our offshoot label Tapes Of Wrath.
