ZZP-C01 /// ZALHIETZLI - Sainte Rita + Two Songs

Zalhietzli is my solo musical outlet. Experiments in noise, ambient, indus and various sound manipulations, using mainly effect pedals, samples and tape collages. This CDr compiles the two first Zalhietzli releases, "Sainte Rita" from 2011 and "Two Songs, 2012".
I decided to make this compilation as these were only available on tape so far. "Two Songs, 2012" isn't available yet, but should be somewhere in september.

What they said about Sainte Rita :
"Wonderfully claustrophobic dark ambient EP that delves into the genres of noise, drone and industrial." Polar Sunspots.
"Listening to this EP is really like watching a movie, having a nightmare etc., it’s an insanely immersive and dense, like a soundtrack to your subconscious’ inner workings." InB4track.

This release will be available at a "name your price" option. See the SHOP for more details. Listen to the tracks below.

SOON ! /// ZALHIETZLI - Two Songs, 2012 + ZLTZ Comp.

Woot ! Two new Zalhietzli songs will be released on C15 tape in september, as an EP titled "Two Songs, 2012" (duh). 

Zalhietzli is my personnal project. A blend of noise, ambient, indus, no wave, using effect pedals, loops and tape collages. Those two new tracks are drastically different from each other. "The Sickening Trophy" is an attempt at making a rock song without any rock instrument, and "Chemtrails Over Rainforest" is a semi-improvised jam of cold, blissful drone/ambient.

You can listen and download to the two tracks just below :

And for those who missed my first release "Sainte Rita", and prefer the CD format, I will release a CDr compilation of those two first Zalhietzli releases. This comp will serve as a promotional support, so it should be available at a small price, or come free with large orders.

Stay tuned, as more ZLTZ-related news will pop up soon !

SOON ! /// Zmajevdah & Emotion Of Loss - Split Tape

After producing a bunch of tapes for the impoverished hipsters, ZZP is back in the digital era with a CDr release. Nope, back to tape ! This will also be our first split album, between two solo acts : Emotion Of Loss from Russia (doom/indus/noise) and Zmajevdah from Croatia (blackened shoegazy grind).

Two Internet friends, and more importantly two great artists that push the boundaries of their sound and their respective genre, their tunes sweating with heart, lo-fi and DIY ethics.

If you followed ZZP from the beginning, you are no stranger to Emotion Of Loss bleak, desperate and crushing sound. His "Demo 2007" was ZZP first release. Jump in the time machine to learn about this incredible first effort by clicking here, or listen to the demo here. However, on this split EoL explore new territories in his sound, lurking toward ambiant and even darker atmospheres, so expect some surprises !

Zmajevdah take on grindcore has always been special. Never over-saturated blastbeatitude lo-finess has been so alive and heartwarming, as you can take into account here. But with the two unreleased tracks Zmajevdah offers on this record, his post-proto-prog-grind evolves into some more exciting. More surprises to come, yay !

Previews for these tracks should be available soon, such as hints of the handcrafted packaging that will embody them.

Stay tuned for preorders and more !

ZZP-003 /// Resonance Of Spiral - DEVBLU EP

Resonance Of Spiral's first EP "DEVBLU" is finally available !

This little gem come in 3" CD, in a tiny packaging, but trust me, it is as heavy, crushing and mean as it gets !


Hailing from Japan, RxOxS deliver a sick mix of indus, hardcore, noise and dope beats. It's like a big melting pots of screams, screeches, samples, thunderous basslines, all tied together by a crushing drummachine.

This EP is "only" 24mn long, with 3 tracks, but the first minutes of Shinagire will be enough to set your brain to kill mode. For fans of early ISIS, Godflesh, Tetsuo, Atari Teenage Riot etc.

You can listen to two tracks from the EP here.

The packaging is 100% handmade. Quite enigmatic when folded, it reveals a bigger composition when opened. The sleeve of tracing paper keeps everything together.

Here's some more eye-candy :




Glimpses from the back of the packaging :



The sleeve :



I noticed with Huata's tape that a video presentation of the packaging is good for business, so here you go ! What your hear in the vid is an excerpt of track 2, "The Value Of Knights".

RxOxS coming soon & distro update !

Hello people ! Things are moving here. Resonance Of Spiral's first EP will be out soon on 3" CDs ! Japanese Psycho Crusher industrial hardcore ! For fans of early Isis, Godflesh, Tetsuo & Atari Teenage Riot ! Limited to 100 copies !

This also means that the preorder offer for it (4€ post paid instead of 6€) will be soon over ! Don't miss it ! Here's a preview :



Also, there's a big update on the shop section (Habsyll, Atolah, Ramesses, Negative Reaction, Rumpeltiltskin Grinder...), as I received a trade package from PsycheDOOMelic Records. A big thanks to Mark for being such a nice guy ! Buy stuff from him too !

Stay tuned !

Some news ! Huata & Resonance Of Spiral.

Hi there, just to let you know that I'm not dead. Now here are some news :

The release of the "Huata - Open The Gates Of Shambhala" K7 has suffered of some delay. Now I can't give you a precise release date, but I can assure you that we're working on it and we're making our best to make it available as soon as possible. I apologize for this inconvenience to those who preordered the tape, and remind you all that this preorder offer (4€, shipping including all over the world) is still available here.

On another subject, I am really proud to announce our next release :

Resonance Of Spiral - DEVBLU ep

Resonance of Spiral is a japanese two piece band delivering a devastating mix of hardcore and industrial. With only a MPC, a bass, and a vocalist, these guys are the MK ULTRA project in sound.
RxOxS drive their way into your cortex with their insane beats and samples and recondition it with thunderous bass assaults as the screams burn a litany of kill words in your subconscious.

Now you're ready.

This 23mn EP will be released on 100 miniCDs with a special handmade packaging. 30 copies will be available via the band and 70 copies via myself. The release is planned for August, and the preorder will be open a little while before.

ZZP-001 /// Emotion Of Loss - Demo 2007

Eventually, after days of researching, prototyping, printing, cutting, sewing* and assembling, Zugzwang's very first release is available ! Limited edition of 13 CDr in handmade packaging, with special faux-leather slipcase.




I am really proud and excited to start my roster with a band like Emotion of Loss, who delivers here 20mn of sick, brutal and depressive Industrial Doom Metal.

No hope here, no life, no light at the end of the tunnel. Just desolation and loneliness. Fields of concrete and charcoal, as far as the eye can see. The intense pulse of all the desperate souls trapped under this ground.

You don't believe me ? Here, have a listen.



Emotion Of Loss - Demo 2007
1. Dead Empty Sky And Its Inscrutable Cold Infinty - 10:26
2. Disturbing Presentiment OF Coming Self-Apocalypse - 13:40

Total - 24:06.

Buy here. Download link coming soon.
