Nodding God – Play Wooden Child

Nodding God (feat. David Tibet and Andrew Lilles). Play Wooden Child is an album powered by Stars and Cuneiform and Pop, based on planetary correspondences—spirits, intelligences, demons, metals, and numbers, and with lyrics utterly sung in Akkadian.

Ulver – Drone Activity

As commissioned by Red Bull Music: A retreat into the sunken paradise. Half-buried misty temples, giant creatures and vaguely prehistoric figures emerge as depth and time intertwine, from the ancient Atlantis to the Northernmost seas. A special one-off performance multitracked and mixed/mastered by the band and its associates.

Ulver – Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

In November last year, right before Ulver embarked on their European tour supporting the wildly successful The Assassination of Julius Caesar (with now over 4 million plays on Spotify), out of the blue they dropped the EP Sic Transit Gloria Mundi on their own Bandcamp – under the radar of most. It has taken almost a year, but House of Mythology are very pleased to present the 2017 surprise EP, finally on vinyl. Full-fledged 12”, feat. 25 min. of exclusive bonus live tracks.

The Stargazer’s Assistant – Resurgam I, Resurgam II

The Stargazer’s Assistant rewards us once again with a powerful deep listening experience. Named after a pair of steam-powered, manned submarines developed in North West England during the late nineteenth century, Resurgam I, Resurgam II draws us into the depths, where sound conjures space.

HHY & The Macumbas – Beheaded Totem

Beheaded Totem is the second album by an enigmatic ensemble from Porto, HHY & The Macumbas. It continues a long investigation into percussion, circular rhythms, dub strategies, and horns coming from the alcohol-fuelled Portuguese marching bands, nights and drags, leading us straight into the damp caves of our minds.

Ulver – Shadows of the Sun

More than a decade on, Ulver’s Shadows of the Sun arguably remains their most personal album, a decidedly interior account of grand cosmic indifference. It explores the familiars of life and death, love and loss – but from the furthermost purview. All the electricity of life, playing out as perfect circles on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. We are captive to its long shadows.

Zu93 – Mirror Emperor

Zu93 is the effectively named collaboration between David Tibet of Current 93 and the ever-changing Italian group Zu. Their album, Mirror Emperor, echoes pivotal moments from the respective catalogues of its creators. Gentle guitars, weeping cellos, the occasional rumbling bass and soft percussion, are melted and gently poured into the sepulchral engine. The sound of a magical chamber orchestra or Cæsar Legions?

Ulver – The Assassination of Julius Caesar

The Assassination of Julius Caesar is the 13th album from ever evolving Norwegian legends Ulver – their first fully fledged studio album since 2011’s Wars of the Roses. They call it "their pop album,” something they have been longing to do for years, and their unruly play with myth, history and popular culture has never been more manifest.

Zu – Jhator

Italian trio Zu have been proud to follow their own musical pathways for some twenty years now. Their new album, Jhator, is perhaps their most ethereal venture yet. A pensive, mind-expanding foray into abstraction and wonder, this is a work that connects Zu to their antecedents both spiritual and musical.

Teleplasmiste – Frequency is the new Ecstasy

Teleplasmiste is the duo of Mark O. Pilkington (Strange Attractor Press, Urthona) and Michael J. York (Coil, The Stargazer’s Assistant). The pair explores nature and electricity through a combination of vintage and contemporary synthesisers and acoustic pipes, creating a sound that furthers the heavy ambient continuum of minimal and kosmische musics.

Ulver – Riverhead

Riverhead is the original score to a film by Justin Oakey. A hushed, airy and ominous soundtrack from the Norwegian masters, touching on Nordic and Celtic folk music from within an ambient/atmospheric frame.

Hypnopazūzu – Create Christ, Sailor Boy

Hypnopazūzu is the duo of none other than Youth (Killing Joke) and David Tibet (Current 93). A long time in the making, Create Christ, Sailor Boy is their new album, an elaborately-packaged 3-sided LP (with a laser etching on side 4). It contains ten songs bringing together spheres and planets for the ultimate Hallucinatory PickNick.

The Stargazer’s Assistant – Remoteness of Light

David J. Smith’s The Stargazer's Assistant explore worlds beyond earthly light with a new double album. As with previous releases by Stargazer’s Remoteness of Light eschews and subverts genre identification, instead drawing the listener into an unfamiliar, richly atmospheric, and elemental sound world populated by bursts of freeform percussion, spectral melodies and seething, haunted airs.

Stian Westerhus – Amputation

Stian Westerhus is a Norwegian, multiple award-winning, experimental guitarist who has released a slew of critically acclaimed albums on Rune Grammofon, the last as Stian Westerhus & the Pale Horses in 2014. He returns this year with an album of heavy abstract and, quite frankly, stunning beauty for House of Mythology.

Laniakea – A Pot of Powdered Nettles

Laniakea is the galactic gospel duo of Massimo Pupillo (Zu) and Daniel O’Sullivan (Ulver etc.). Cosmic hymns and atomised riffs slowed and stretched to unveil a pantheon of sound drawing on a rich tapestry of influences ranging from the plainchant of Hildegard von Bingen to Alice Coltrane’s Ashram tapes to the monolithic bass frequencies of Godflesh.

KKKMO – Are You Land or Water

Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O’s Are You Land or Water (HOM 001), the long-awaited follow up to 2011 debut Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O (EMI) is a darker record than the band’s debut.

Nocturnal rock songs interweave with moments of spectral ambience, creating a distinctly cinematic vision.

Ulver – ATGCLVLSSCAP

House of Mythology proudly presents the new Ulver gatefold double album vinyl (also available on CD), with over 80 minutes worth of material.

This album consists of multitracked and studio-enhanced live, mostly improvisational, rock and electronic soundscapes, 2/3 of which has never been heard before.
