Info: A stunning 4-part collaborative series between these 2 Italian ambient artists, released together in one glorious 2xLP set! Selaxon Lutberg and Subinterior are both active members of the Italian ambient/experimental music underground, each being involved in a number of interesting and diverse musical projects. Originally released on Selaxon Lutberg’s own label, Cold Current Productions, each part of this release is dedicated to a season and was released separately on 3″ CD-R in an edition of only 50 copies! We just thought this was too good to be heard by so few people and limited to the CD-R format, though. Beginning with Winter Meeting and going through the seasons in order to end with Fall Meeting, each part is given one side of 12″ vinyl and was remastered specifically for vinyl by Andrea Marutti of Amon, Sil Muir, and many others, who is also the owner of Afe Records and Lips Vago Digital Studio. The mood on each part is slightly different, reflective of the mood or feel of its respective season, ranging from cold, icy textures to warm, soothing ambience. In order to honor and do justice to this release, this special 2xLP set will be pressed on 180 gram vinyl housed in thick, sturdy gatefold jackets with printed inner sleeves for the records. This release is limited to a total of 500 copies in two editions: classic black vinyl and a special clear/grey mix. This is a co-release with Denovali Records of Germany.

3.) I of Everything 5:42
4.) Sigma Omega 4:32
5.) At the Hands of Loss 7:42

10.) For Redemption 6:14
Info: Epic and heavy doom rock with a slightly progressive twist from Sweden. With inventive drumming and heavy use of piano, this is a fresh take on the post-metal style that has quickly become overrun by Isis and Pelican clones. On this album, mainman Karl Daniel Liden is joined by an array of guest musicians from around the world to make this a highly collaborative venture. Mastered by John Golden, who has done mastering for such bands as the Melvins, Neurosis, Weedeater, and Primus. This should appeal to fans of bands like Isis, Mare, Opeth, and even Nine Inch Nails. Kappa Delta Phi was released on the following dates:
Europe: January 26th, 2009
North America: January 20th, 2009
Worldwide Digital: January 26th, 2009

MHR001CD
Gathiens - Nesh CD
1.) Alto Above 6:14
2.) Connectango 4:50
3.) Inner Mission 4:42
4.) Telos 6:21
5.) Squall 7:30
6.) Hegira 2:30
7.) Nesh 8:33
Info: Heavy, psychedelic, instrumental rock music. Recorded in the summer of 2006, this gem sat dormant for some time before we picked it up as our first full-length release, though it briefly attracted the attention of Battle Kommand Records. Strong guitar playing with big chords and memorable melodies is paired with a backbone of sweetly technical drumming, with a delicate layer of cinematic ambience over the top. The whole album has a strong sense of dynamics, having an almost classical feel to it. Compared to bands such as Isis, Boris, Pelican, Tool, and even Pink Floyd; Gathiens possess a delicacy and intricacy that many post-metal bands lack. Nesh was released on the following dates:
Europe: January 19th, 2009
North America/Rest of World: January 20th, 2009
Worldwide Digital: January 19th, 2009
Audio Sample (CD version vastly superior): MP3

MHR000EP
Antilles/Trifle Tower split 7″ EP
Side A: Antilles - “Salvage” 2:51
Side B: Trifle Tower - “Criancas da Rua” 4:34
Info: A match-up of 2 old-school screamo bands in the vein of such greats as Pg. 99 and City of Caterpillar. Antilles have a jagged and damaged sound with aggressive drumming, jangly guitar playing, and vicious vocals with an almost jazzy vibe at times. On side B, Trifle Tower assault the listener using layered melodies and strong dynamics, giving off the impression of an almost black metal approach to songwriting. Limited to a total of 500 copies, presented in hand-silkscreened jackets made of 100% post-consumer recycled paper stock. Murkhouse customers get black vinyl.
Audio Sample (vinyl version vastly superior): MP3
Editions:
100 Clear Blue vinyl (only available from the bands)
400 Black vinyl
