SOON:
STCLVR - s/t
STCLVR (pronounced "streetcleaver") is a heavy electronic unit forged in the murky, toxic, industrial filth of the western NY noise community in the late 2010s by non-binary artist G Mor. With the addition of new guitarist and co-producer Rosalie October, STCLVR now operates as a two-piece and performs a unique brand of dark, aggressive "death EBM" consisting of heavy downtuned riffs, highly energetic, thumping beats, distorted synth loops and blackened vocal shredding caked in grime and self-loathing.
While earlier STCLVR music was primarily programmed electronically or at times full-on noise, the 2026 full length from the new incarnation brings metal and hardcore influences to the forefront, elements that had only been hinted at on previous releases. The heft of Rosalie's guitar and haunting atmospheric contributions mesh perfectly with Mor's unhinged vocal performance and fever dream disco backdrops resulting in a collection of songs that are in turn urgently restless and danceably catchy. Dwid Hellion (Integrity, Psywarfare) even gets in on the madness for the track "Gag," providing additional vocals and electronics.
Fans of Broken-era NIN, Godfesh, or even the less chaotic moments of cybergrind pioneers Genghis Tron will certainly find something here to latch on to. "STREETCLEAVER" is a definitive release from a now fully realized project firing on all cylinders.
Release date TBA.

Mountain of Woe - II
Orb Tapes and Cruel Symphonies present the second full length album from Syracuse-based Mountain of Woe, "II." Following 2024's "Blooming" and the EP "Alone," this new record continues Mountain of Woe's delivery of thick, quaking guitar drone sculpted into pieces verging on traditional song structure. These nine new recordings meld slowcore, shoegaze and feedback worship into a dense stew of emotional, narrative songs, or as sole member Matt Jaime simply calls it: wall of sound music.
CDs are available from Orb, tapes from Cruel Symphonies

A note from the artist: "Also… you may notice that the full album title is a nod to a highly influential record that came out nearly 25 years ago. We tried to change it, but the pressing plant had already printed everything. While Carlson’s work has obviously made a huge impact on me, I am highly disappointed with him and I in no way support his cowardice and politics." - Mountain of Woe

New music coming March 6th from @mountainofwoe - co-released by @cruelsymphonies
Mountain of Woe is the solo project of Matt Jaime, based in Syracuse, NY. Deeply personal and introspective slowcore meets deafening feedback worship, or as the artist calls it: "wall of sound music."
The second full length from MoW, this album follows 2024's "Blooming" and the EP "Alone," continuing in the vein of dense and layered guitar-based dronegaze. We will be releasing this on CD and Cruel Symphonies will be taking care of the cassettes. Check out the Mountain of Woe Bandcamp page today for a preview of one of the new tracks.

Amok & OK - self-titled c50
orbtapes.bandcamp.com
Low-tone drones and bizarre percussive household objects are just a couple of the elements that make up Amok & OK's electro-acoustic arrangements. Jazz played inside out, where rhythm is replaced by texture, melody by a thick humid air.

My new full length will be available 3/6/26 via @cruelsymphonies and @orb_tapes . One track, “Skag,” from the 9 song album is now streaming on Bandcamp. I will be announcing an album release show with some of my closest friends soon. The event will be open to everyone, but the location will be “ask.”
Thank you Orb Tapes for putting out the CD, and Cruel Symphonies for handing the cassette. My pal Garrett Frink did a tremendous job recording this album and I appreciate it so much. These are people I truly love working with.
Almost 2 years clean with zero fuck ups. When I first started working on “Skag,” it still physically hurt to even hold a guitar. This track is an ode to those withdrawals, memories of a place I never want to go back to. Link in bio: MountainOfWoe.bandcamp.com.

Our first release of 2026 will be a tape of brand new music from NYC-based ambient artist @leaaves - release date TBA soon.
We first worked with Nate Wagner, whose musical output does not end with his Leaaves project, back in 2019 when we released "Death Metric." After 7 years, we're extremely excited to be bringing you another collection of tape-soaked, eerily nostalgic ambient recordings. Tranquil synth lines and slice-of-life field recordings combine to create atmospheres of semi-sleep and transitory contentment.
