Out as the third release on Germany’s Shoreless Records bvdub’s Prayer to False Gods is apocalyptic and doom ridden, with waves of melancholy and accompanying images of a dead nature. 5 tracks of desolate soundscapes with occasional layers of doomy strings and at times fuzzy noises.

The electronic soundscape / noise / ambient / drone scene is burgeouning with great releases these days whether they be CDs or CDRs and casettes on small labels. Prepare to get terrorised by Teeth of the Sea, I am Seamonster, Mountains, Lawrence English and Meczup.
