God Pollutes - Introverted Kosmonaut (2011)
Comment: this is an experimental rock-relied looming from Macedonia. At times it takes on a more usual song structured compositions, at times it gets stuck in the undulation of hazy guitar-driven progressions - being amplified, developed and therefore freezed for the rest of time. It reminds of Mogwai`s (best yet impudently underrated album) Come On Die Young (1999). For instance, Leaving Praha is charmingly monotonous and as dark as onyx used to be. On the other side, Sjw (Please Work) provides longing moments. Out With the Headphones rings like you are standing under waterfall - such a massive while lofty rock monolith. Or Introvert which is a bristled, noise-infiltrated incantation. In a nutshell, you should more look at the post-rock scene in Macedonia - there are represented artists really worth to be discovered for.
The Air Was Thick - Prototype 1.0 (2011)
Comment: Damian Hughes, Andrey Pavlovic, and Tom Peden from Wakefield, UK established TAWT after the demise of their old project Candid Squash, and Lover Octave. Indeed, it is their debut album where 32 minutes are spreaded out over 8 tracks and issued on the Japanese label Cnata Records. By and large, the trio combines glowering guitar lines with heavily stomping drums. The group can be compared with the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, This Lonely Crowd, Inverness, and Ride.

Acquired Syphilis - Big Titty Babe Begs For Orgasm (2010)
/Goregrind, Porngrind, Grindcore, Experimental metal, Brutal metal/
Comment: as you have already figured out this album is about earthquake-esque goregrind and slobbery porn. 12 very short extreme metal blowups are introduced with the snippets from porn videos. However, the album makes a huge impact on the listener because of ferocious energy pouring out from every bits and slots.
Cosmos Laguna - Karma Cleaner (2011)
/Industrial electro, EBM, Industrial trance, Synth industrial, Alternative, Dark synth/
Comment: Cosmos Laguna is a brooding industrial electro act with apparent dodges by the side of trance and dark wave/synth music. Of course, the reference of mine must not be misunderstood. The album has nothing to do with the kind of cheesy trance acrobatics, though, some tracks show up weird dance-appealed vibes. Otherwise massively piercing beats and drilling electro forays are surrounded by wraith-alike veil and tight murky vapour. Behind this idiosyncratic project is Alari Keskla, a 33-year-old producer from Estonia. The album is released on the Estonian underground (CD-R) label Trash Can Dance.
elektrolandmusik - automat (2010)
/Electro-acoustic, Experimental electronica, Acousmatics, Avant-garde, Toytronica/
Comment: elektrolandmusik provides a handful of compositions, made up of natural, repetitive xylophone-alike cuts and sequences wrapped up in loose electro-acoustic environments. Indeed, at times it rings like an explorative act on toytronic music based on the sounds of a modular synthesizer. The musician`s experiments resemble of the Finnish project Thuoom`s first album.
