Per Aspera · Nil Desperandum CD NN V · March 2008 Tracklist · Epitaphium · Second Epitaphium · Crematorium · Shkiyat Haolam · Nil desperandum · Calling Dreams · The Light Within Download PDF	The third and the most complete release by one of the most tallented ambient artists hailing from Poland these days. Unifying vast array of elements, Per Aspera once again achieves remarkably introvert but vibrant style. Eerie industrial atmosphere seamlessly blends with serene harmonies of almost orchestral form. Cinematic, monstrous drone formations morph into pulsating abyss of dissonant disturbances and uncompromised sonic experiments, overlaid by subtle beauty of human voice and minimalist acoustic instrumentation. All those skillful, multiformal explorations establish Nil desperandum one of those albums of complex yet stable musical concept—reflecting the incoherencies of human nature and its immanent affection to chaos and order merged together. Per Aspera tends to render tragically compound heritage of the mankind, being constantly shaped by cultural, ethnic and religious or ideologic discrepancies. Definitely not your average dark–ambient buzz, this album stands out of the dull cliche. The sound may appeal to the admirers of T. Köner, Parca Pace, Nocturnal Emissions or Neubautens to name a few but still, expect no pattern follower. Complemented with special A5–sized glossy digipak designed by Ibsen studio, this CD is limited to 500 copies only.		(...) Whilst it's ridiculously difficult to be overly innovative within the dark ambient genres, one of the skills a composer must demonstrate is the ability to keep the listener engaged whilst producing a sound that doesn't show immediate comparisons to one or another artist from within this genre. Thankfully Per Aspera does a fantastic job at both and has created a set of recordings that smack of originality whilst containing a myriad of well executed compositions, rich textural sounds and a wonderfully imaginative evolving plethora of atmospheres that flow from the album. As a dark ambient release this is as good as it gets and sets an impressively high standard immediately, with a faultless album being produced from start to finish. For those who relish in the shadowy undercurrent of rich dark ambient soundscapes 'Nil Desperado' delivers a fabulous journey into this style of music and is welcomed addition to the genre itself and as such is a near prefect introduction for a relatively unknown artist and a label which promises great things, if this is anything to go by. —as reviewed on Judas Kiss Magazine. (...) Lucid, outdistanced yet engrossing terror–art full of treats. Per Aspera manages to intrigue with harmonious abundance of grey shade spectrum, and is capable of riveting all of your attention to the loudspeaker system, in front of which you await next allurements of that undoubtfully luxuriant soundscape imagination. —as reviewed on Postindustry.org, rating 4 out of 5 stars.
	Schmerz · Old School Misanthropy CDR NN I · April 2007 Tracklist · Natural Born Prey · Old School Misanthropy · Pigday II · Hosts of the Almighty Truth	Old School Misanthropy is a debut release by a new band formed out of three individuals running their notorious noise mongering projects as Leichenhalle, Mantichora and Sujoy. Schmerz unifies their sound–abrassive struggle in another form. Right form the start it has been pretty obvious that after several initial rehearsals and spontaneous live-without-audience recording sessions they will came up with nothing else than deliciously rough and grinding, industrialised power electronics noise mayhem with angry screamings and insane scansion of profound lyrics. Intentional use of limited variety of tools like analog synthesizers, mangled electronics, processed feedback, metal junk abuse and pissed off attitude has brought Schmerz back to simple, yet effective basics. Such approach is kind of hard to came across nowadays which makes this album a gem. Yes, this is a brutal stuff. And yes, you'll love this.		Here is a really solid (debut?) release from a project and label I know little about. Schmerz delivers uncompromising synth-based pulsating power electronics with a good number of industrial elements and of course, typical power-electronic styled vocals. The release features four tracks in a little over 30 minutes which is unusual for a power electronics release, but these tracks do not disappoint. (...) If you are a traditionalist when it comes to power electronics I recommend this album because it really does live up to it's name. It deals with a stripped down approach and a bleak aesthetic. A strong release from this unfamiliar artist, one that I will be keeping a wary eye on —as reviewed on Blood Ties, rating B+. Four tracks, total playing time is 31:04. Professionally manufactured CDR edition of 300 hand–numbered copies. Each item consists of a disc and five artwar inserts printed on a heavyweight glossy cardboard, housed in a DVD box.
