Foxy Digitalis gives "Coagula" by Aleph Naught 8/10!
"Coagula" is all about a descent. A descent from serenity into chaos. A descent from hope into nihilism. Aleph Naught doesn't want us to simply stare into the abyss-- he wants us to feel it.

Cracked has published a TL special with several reviews:
If you are out to face your deepest fears in the northern grimness you need some backpack survival kit to prepare you and help you along. If you want to explore the outermost unchartered waters of aural visions that range from fear-inducing to disturbing then you need some guidance material. What you need is some Twilight Luggage.
Boe - "Lost Harbour"
The one thing that keeps repeating in my head while listening is a line from a Tom Waits song: "All I am asking is: How's it gonna end?" In a more and more frenzied storm of noise, actually. And from there it becomes worse. What a wonderful ride!
Kanin Krusete - "Like A Thing"
Sometimes "like a thing" is very much like watching a train running at you at full speed and being so transfixed you are unable to move. Listen to this loud enough and you will be unable to move for real.
Corpse Candle - "Waste Not, Want Not"
Maybe I am wrong and this is not about horror, but plainly about the sounds you will hear when standing in the middle of a house that is just being consumed by a raging fire.
Hypochondriosis - "Nothing Felt Like This"
One track on here is called "Pleasure Anxiety" and another "Swallowing Pieces Of Glass In Search Of Physical Satisfaction" and both describe the sensation derived from listening to this at top volume quite well. Yes, the title "Nothing Felt Like This", does so, too.
Aleph Naught - "Coagula"
The label calls this "eerie, mesmerizing, dark ambient" and they are dead right with this description.[...]You may also want to ponder on how slowly changing echoes of tones can fill up rooms so entirely, as if the room is being slowly flooded with the sound the wind makes when it flows through the electric wires in the masts and makes them sing late at night.
Brandal/Senneseth - "A Walk In The Park"
There is a breath of Derek Bailey and the modern school of improv noise as well as a touch of stream of consciousness playing so heavily connected to the west coast drug scene.[...]In some ways this one is the record the hardest to listen to of all the ones mentioned here; but in other ways it is also the most exciting one.

Heathen Harvest reviews "Facelessness" by Chuch
Pitches are turned inside out, giving a swirling and pulsating impression. It is infectious and massive. Just try to sit still while this is playing; yes it’s that epic.

Foxy Digitalis gives "Like A Thing" by Kanin Krusete 8/10
High-pitched whine and a poetic rhyming announcement of static-laden vocals; an onslaught of rushing noise, like being trampled, like demonic wings, tempo changes that are just slight enough to keep you tense, rasping words and phrases bursting through intermittently like one side of a conversation in hell.

Vital Weekly reviewed the new releases from Grohvrascht
With variation, with thought and with a certain balance between the 'mild loud' and the 'super loud', like highly amplified ambient drones running amok. Nice.
and Lupus Golem
Fierce, loud, feedback flies about [...] this is music that should be above all be felt in concert. No doubt I would be banging my head to it. I already did here.

...tell me how a three piece band whose major past time is to relentlessy bang on their instruments in a harsh and steady and stubborn way can be so goddamn good?
