Nick Wusz is back at it again with what I believe to be his sixth album under his nom-de-dungeon-synth Travellers Rest. I’ve been been following him since the start, having picked up all the prior cassettes and pre-ordering In the Citadel of Solitude, and once again he doesn’t disappoint. A melancholy thread runs through In […]

Skjálfti – “Society of Witnesses” (2026)
Skjálfti is the noise project of Icelander Þórir Georg. Society of Witnesses is his first release on the recently re-vitalized Hundrað Prósent Plastík label (though hardly his first release – Skjálfti has been active since 2017), and right from the start it assaults the senses, a high-pitched whine boring a hole through your jaw like […]

These are the final two cassettes in the recent spate of releases from the Icelandic noise label Hundrað Prósent Plastík and in a way I’m glad I saved them for last, because Wüünderbar Holokaust’s This Machine Fucks feels like the synthesis of the three other aritsts who were part of this series, Mávar, Ófreskja, and […]
Lord Bakartia – “Where Silence Speaks In Hushed Tones” Casssette (2024 / 2026)
As is true of so many dungeon synth performers, the person behind Lord Bakartia also puts out music under a variety of other noms-de-musique – Grim Keep, Hiányzol, Sublime Solitude, Lord Orots, and others (as well as being the person behind the Dungeonlord Records label). About the only thing I do “know” is that they’re […]
Mávar – “Corium” Cassette (2026)
Mávar makes anxiety ridden ambient noise. That’s what the insert that comes with this cassette says. And it’s not wrong. I was bummed when Icelandic DIY noise label Hundrað Prósent Plastík went dark after releasing five wonderfully-packaged CDs back in 2023. But tiny, dare I say micro, labels do come and go, and I was […]
