| IT - Finalmente fuori il tanto atteso split tra Corpoparassita, il più importante progetto ambient/noise italiano e i Dyskinesia, una delle rivelazioni del 2009 per quanto riguarda la scena post-core del Bel Paese. Corpoparassita partecipano al disco inserendo tre tracce che, come loro tradizione, mischiano elaborazioni analogiche e digitali del suono e del rumore, creando paesaggi di nebbia e desolazione, evocative dei luoghi da cui provengono i membri del gruppo. Dyskinesia con le loro due tracce si confermano tra i gruppi da tener d'occhio nel panorama sperimentale italiano e continuano quanto iniziato con l'omonimo disco, rendendo però più oscuro, soffocante e malsano il loro suono. Oscurità che avvolge, stritola e ci trascina nelle viscere della terra. Il disco è limitato a 300 copie, numerate, racchiuse da una confezione completamente fatta a mano costituita in parte da materiale riciclato. Artwork a cura del nostro Mangrovia. ENG – The new split by Corpoparassita (the most important noise/ambient band in italy) and Dyskinesia (one of the 2009 revelation in the Italian post-core scene) is finally out! Corpoparassita's contributes to the record with three tracks that mix analogical and digital re-elaboration of music and noise, giving us a gaze on the misty and desolated landscape where they were born and raised. Dyskinesia are now confirmed as an important reality in the Italian experimental scene: this time their sound is darker, more morbid and smothering then their first record. This record is limited to 300 copies, numbered and enclosed in and handmade digipack partly realized with recycled material. Artwork by our trusted Mangrovia. |

| IT - Sei tracce per farvi uscire dal vostro corpo e mostrare le cose come sono veramente. Un disco senza inflitrazione di luce che permetta di accecare l'individuo con false speranze ed illusioni; un fluido nero, senza forma, che viscido e grumoso lentamente si insedia nelle membra, allargandosi a dismisura fino ad infestare la mente nel modo in cui un parassita consuma il proprio ospite. ENG – Six tracks to make you leave your body and show you the things like they really are. A record without any light infiltration, that could permit to blind the individual with false hopes and illusions; a black fluid, shapeless, which slimy and lumpy, slowly takes over in the limbs, rising out of all proportion, until it has infested mind as a parasite commits its host. |

| IT - Un'opera dedicata al paese natio, un'ode alla patria e a tutte le magnifiche immagini e sensazioni che inconsapevolmente genera. Un piccolo mondo ovattato in cui pochissimi possono davvero entrare e di conseguenza capire il più profondo significato dei brani, nonostante il "locus amoenus" sia palese: la beatitudine della pace agrestre, il sublime sguardo alle stelle, le situazioni immaginate, i ricordi d'infanzia, lo scavo nella parte irrazionale e fragile delle persone più vicine, ma tutto filtrato attraverso l'intimità. Creazioni basate sui ricordi e sulla immaginazione. Alla fine ciò che rimane di vero è solo il paese: per tutti composto di mattoni, strade ed alberi, per pochi altri forgiato con memorie che non cadranno mai, più forti di qualunque cemento, grazie all'amore che riempie ogni atomo. ENG – It's a work dedicated to the native land, a ode to the native country and all the great images and sansations that uncousciously it creates. It's a padded little world, where a few peple can really enter, that is, understand the deep tracks' meaning; in spite of the "locus amoenus" is clear: the rural peace's bliss, the sublime glance to the stars, the imagined situations, the childhood's memories, the dig in the irrational and fragile part of the closest people, but everything filtered by intimacy. They're creations based on memory and immagination. In the end the thing that stay is the true country: composed for everybody by bricks, streets and trees, for a few others it's forged by remembrances that never fall, stronger than any cement, thanks to the love that fills every atom of it. |

| IT - Venti brani, ognuno sanguinante nell'altro, come venti versi di una preghiera; un viaggio intimo dentro la conoscenza di se stessi, alla ricerca della verità e della luce. La vita e la morte,la realtà e l'onirico, l'amore e l'orrore si mischiano talmente da diventare concetti relativi e quantomai senza un limite di delineazione, le immagini create sono simili ad incubi notturni fatti da un fanciullo dopo aver preso coscienza dell'esistenza della morte: apocalisse e cartoni animati, bambini e mostri vanno a braccetto, dando vita così un grottesco effetto tragicomico paradossale ma non privo di significati profondi. Altro tema ricorrente è il "memento mori": il senso di angoscia ed oppressione dell'inesorabile scorrere del tempo associato alla perdita delle illusioni infantili. Quasi ogni canzone ha come base un tema mistico e trascendentale: la fragilità umana fra la potenza di Dio e l'inganno di Satana, la perdizione, il peccato, l'eternità, la fine del mondo. Un Uomo che con Amore continua a fare bolle di sapone, consapevole del fatto che Morte è al suo fianco per farle scoppiare. ENG – The album is composed by twenty tracks, everyone more bloody than the other, like twenty verses in a prayer; a intimate trip in the self knowledge, in quest of truth and light. The life, the dead, the reality, the oneiric; love and horror are so mixed to become relative ideas, without definition, images created are similar to childwood nightmares, after the consciousness of the death existence: Revelation and cartoons, children and monsters walk together. Another recurrent theme is the "memento mori": the anguish and oppression sense of the inexorable destiny that waits everyone of us. Every song is based on a mystic or trascendental theme: human fragility between God's power and Satan's deceit, the perdition, the sin, eternity. A Man that with Love goes on making soap bubbles, knowing that the Death is beside him to make them burst. |

| ENG – We are really proud to release the first full lenght from Three Steps to the Ocean, "Until today becomes yesterday". After their debut self released S/t EP, they are back with an atmospheric and evocative album, sure one of the most awaited releases for italian (and not only!) post-rock/post-core fans! It is a concept album, based on the story of Lynne Cox, a woman who swam across the Date Line in 1987. In the Bering Strait, two islands sit less than 5 km apart. Big Diomede, the larger of the two, is a part of Russia, while Little Diomede is part of Alaska. The peculiarity lies in the fact that they are divided by the International Date Line, and they are separated by 21 hours. What happens when someone swims from one island to the other and cross this imaginary line? Listen to the album and try to discover the answer. Mastered by the guru James Plotkin, it comes in luxury digipack. |

Recorded live at Elfo Studio in may '08, it comes in a special edition with a 7” ep packaging self-designed by the band! |

| ENG - Five guys from the cold north of Italy for an unconventional extreme album: they are able to merge grindcore with the mysticism of the trve norwegian black metal. You can recognize their style and their attitude from every track of the cd. But also the artwork is interesting: all is minimal, all is white, nothing in common with other grindcore or black metal releases. |
