Death circa 25th Feb 2010. Keep doing the hand thing.

Years On Earth

http://mutant-sounds.blogspot.com/2008/11/years-on-earth-site-tape1982uk.html

Lots of low budget 70s sci-horror synth sounds warbling and crashing into each other, like Dario Argento directing Alien. Rattling vocals echo beneath those sewers of instruments and an uncomfortable aura of something slowly creeping up behind you in the middle of the night. Album gleaned from the lovely guys at Mutant Sounds, as the link above will suggest. Good luck finding any other info about the band.

Wormsblood

Filthy, unproduced black metal brimming with howls (both human and inhuman), esoteric ambience and the unmistakeable stench of something very evil beneath the surface.

Amaka Hahina

Droning organ and layers of vocals that rasp and ramble. You'll feel like walking through a demon-haunted forest, alone and about ready to give in to encroaching madness. The complete mysterious aesthetic - with titles that don't make sense and lyrics that you can't make out - completes the music's horror.

Orzelda

This is the sound of creepy children's toys and cobwebbed attics. Wavering between noisy horror ambience and lo-fi rock, this Twilight Sad side project is brimming with weirdness and late nate uneasiness.

Both albums available from website so go there and get them!

The ghost of a girl warps around a house, never quite caught by camera except from a distance.

Yoga

Haunted and eerie drones crawl out of the speakers. Repetitive ghostly ambience masking impish gibberish and mournful wails. They claim to blend new age and black metal aesthetics - music for a New Black Age. This is what the blog was made for.

Below is the Yoga half of their split with Ghäst, and is the same as their demo tape.

Layers of warped, twisted, groaning vocal samples made to sound like a ritual of zombies and their demon masters.

Absurd to the point of creepy, this is music from the uncanny valley. Horrid visuals are achieved through total lofi effects, and the obsessive repetition found in the songs make so little sense it feels like my head is slowly...pull...ing...apar...t...
