T.O.M.B.TOTAL.OCCULTIC.MECHANICAL.BLASPHEMY.
T.O.M.B. is a mysterious, unnamed and faceless entity well known for crafting the darkest noise recordings with the aid of nothing but field recordings. To collect the field recordings T.O.M.B. travelled and trespassed through the earth’s darkest landmarks including (but not limited to) byberry mental institution, Penn Hurst state school, the grave of Euronymous (in norway), Waverly Hills (kentucky), Norristown State Hospital, Lambertville High School, Eden Hall Church, Bethlehem steel works, graveyards, abandoned buildings, and other decrepit and dying places. TOMB’s sound is the reverberation of decaying and dying structures as caught and recorded and in their purest form. There is no manipulation, no tinkering, nothing contrived, nothing planned. This sound is truly the channeling of unholy entities through one helpless, faceless husk of a man.
T.O.M.B. has had a long career with three full-length albums and countless compilations, split releases, and collaborations with other artists. Although many of these are sold out or out of print, esto perpetua records will soon have the entire T.O.M.B. back catalog available.

Black Albatross is an extremely unique project which combines scathing black metal, at times harsh and times subtle noise, eastern atmosphere viz. sitar, and a very experimental compositional state of mind... Black Albatross is a project whose creators are in a constant state of flux and thus the music which the band produces is very, very wide in its scope... ranging from epic black metal of sun gods to pure outright noise to the very fragile, subtle ambience of cripples and the destitute... to so much more.
Inspired by HP Lovecraft, Ferdowsi, mysticism, chemistry, violence, mathematics, hallucinations, delusions of grandeur, BhagavadGita, Shahnameh, cosmology,Richard Wagner, Adnan Ahmed Saygun, astrology, procession of the equinoxes, Rasputin, alejandro jodorowsky, terry riley, minimalism in general, and romance. Black/doom/noise/death/psychedelic/wierd.

Amorte posseses the most unique voice you will ever hear... This project is the work of one undying entity based in Poland, Hekte Zaren,the Mouth of Hell[Hellemond]. Her principle instrument is the ocean of her voice: and literally,it is an ocean! Her work is somewhat reminiscent of Diamanda Galas, and that is about the closest we could come to relating to anyone else. Her disease is spreading, fast. She is on our first release, EP001, BLACK NOISE I , the fourth artist alongside black albatross, T.O.M.B., and Panther Modern. Her voice rends space. Writing any sort of description of her voice is extremely difficult for she relates in an analogous way to very, very few things in our known universe. LISTEN TO HER NOW: MYSPACE

Panther Modern is a noise project that was originally dedicated to
the eradication of harmony, sanity, and moral virtue. Accordingly,
the group's name comes from a
fictional-technological-terrorist-group described in William
Gibson's Neuromancer. In its formative stage, Panther
Modern performed noise actions behind New Jersey restaurants, at
German Delis, inside factory ruins and in the trenches of Brooklyn
bars. However, as the group evolved, its activities turned into a
sort of sonic curse. Thus, Panther Modern now stylistically plays
black noise, exclusively. The group has released one full-length
on At War With False Noise, and two splits, one through Invasive
Alien Species Rekurds and the other with Esto Perpetua. Upcoming
releases include a wall release on Central Dynamo Room as well as a
second full-length on At War With False Noise. The sixth and final
Panther Modern release will be a furtive dedication to the death
drive, i.e., "Todestrib," and the last show, number 13 for Panther
Modern, will be held in a church.

VISUAL ARTIST: ALISA FLESHER
Alisa Flesher is a brilliant artist who has done album art and inlay design for Black Albatross, and T.O.M.B. She is possessed by visions of a vast and beautiful cosmos which are beyond her ability to describe, save for her ability to draw them. Her art focuses on somewhat abstract themes in that it often does not have a specific object or purpose, but her style is far from minimal sparse or abstract. Her images are highly intricate and full of complex, dense, multi-patterned juxtapositions of hideously beautiful things... Her art speaks for itself.
