LBRF040 Murderous Vision- Ghosts of the Soul Long Lost Vol. Two 2XCD Set $14.00
Ghosts of the Soul Long Lost is the title used to harness out of print, rare and unreleased archival material by long standing dark industrial act Murderous Vision. This second volume in the series contains two full length albums and bonus tracks that showcase the more Death Ambient and Neo-Classical side of the project. Disc one is an unreleased album written and recorded from 2006-2008 called "Cathartic Drifts in a Sea of Sadness". Sonically this slab of melancholia features many elements familiar to the Murderous Vision sound, plus some new elements and a much more composed overall sound. Tracks like "In Hell We Will Burn Together" and "Order Born from Chaos" dive headlong into meticulously programmed Dark Classical pieces, while tracks like "Upon Both Flesh and Soil" and "Structures and Pathways" further strengthen the traditional Murderous Vision Dark-Ambient sound. Disc Two contains the out of print album from 2009, "Frozen in Morphia". Showcasing the neo-classical elements in the forefront with a grinding underbelly of post-industrial textures and demonic vocal drifts. Features 2 bonus tracks, not included on the original release. These two cds work together almost as companion albums, which was not intended when they were composed, but became apparent once compiled together. Packed in a standard double jewel case, 6 panel book with original artwork by Rebecca Potter (Cunting Daughters)135 minutes of material for one low price! Limited to 500 copies.
*SPECIAL* Add a copy of Volume one, also a double cd, for $20 USA, and $24 Worldwide!!!

LBRF034 Skin Graft/Murderous Vision- Corpse Abuse CDR $7.00
Otis and Henry, Fred and Rose, Eric and Dylan, Dean and Elmer, Wyatt and Stephen. What happens when 2 scumbags unite? Corpse Abuse... A first time pairing of two long standing Cleveland projects featuring 20 minutes of new and viseral material by each project and 15 minutes of collaboration material. Grimy and gritty Death Industrial in the old school way!

LBRF036 Michael James- Voidlicker CDR $7.00
Voidlicker is a partial departure for Michael. Starting off with a lush (and long) slab of black ambient. Melodies swirling and drifting like frozen hands reaching from the deepest seas. At times reaching the minimal splendor of Endvra's "The Watcher, but this is something much more focused. Something haunts just below the surface, only to be revealed in the obscurest way. Legendary. Also included is another long track recorded live in 2010. This is the sound most usually displayed by Michael. Horrid and viscous Death Industrial played out on swords, stone and plenty of echo for good measure. An excerpt of this track appears in the City/Ruins documentary. Again, legendary!

LBRF031 Murderous Vision- Echospore CDR $7.00
Recorded in 3 days flat, direct to to minidisc. A psychedelic noise offering of crushing bass feedback and pulsed echoes. By far the most frequency sizzled offering yet in a 16 year history. Features Mitch Ribis of Fascist Insect on Synth for one track and the influence of fungus pressed into tasty little chocolates! 3 long tracks recorded live in studio, plus a bonus track recorded live at Bela Dubby in September 2010. Chew on something fungal and pop this in....

LBRF032 Lupus Sol- Original Score for the Film City/Ruins CDR $7.00
Lupus Sol is a new collaboration project by Stephen Petrus (Murderous Vision) and Aaron Vilk (Nyodene D), the duo responsible for the upcoming Noise/Industrial Documentary City/Ruins - Art In The Face Of Industrial Decay. As fitting, this debut release is the sound score of the film. Containing all of the original score music from the film, plus a couple outakes. The sounds of a crumbling industrial complex. Dense Dark-Ambient and Death-Industrial soundscapes to match the visual of a city in decay. Limited to just 100 copies!.

LBRF033 Nyodene D- The Hooks that Snare the Wolf CDR $7.00
Many know Nyodene D as a visceral Power Electronics act. This release, while holding the same unease as previous work, is quite the departure. The sound arrangements definitely rest under the bleakest ambient banner. Washes of cold sound that build and blossom amongst a growing underbelly of desolation. Calling to mind such legendary acts as Archon Satani or Necrose Evangelicum era Brighter Death Now. A welcome companion to the current wave of more destructive  Nyodene D releases. Limited to 100 Copies.

LBRF028 Of Swine and Swill S/T CD $10
Like an ancient bottle of Absinthe found buried in some dark cellar, you've discovered something very unique here.  Elements of the classics, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Hawkwind perfume the air as an aural louche, sonic clouds swirling with Industrial soundscapes a la Deutsch Nepal or In Slaughter Natives, with a touch of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Stephen Petrus (Murderous Vision) and John Potter (Flintknap/Murderous Vision) created the initial concepts for Of Swine and Swill as childhood friends.  Musical discussions turned to all night experimentations.  Recording sessions turned into weekends, then weeks of nothing but the music.  Over the course of the summer of '08, Stephen and John blended their rock and electronic roots into a finely honed project, with over an hour of material recorded. With the addition of Rick Pflueger (Reichardt Van Grieken, Rambler 454) contributing vocals on two tracks, and eventually joining the project full time, the circle has been made complete.Without the constraints nor boundaries of any one genre, the music of  Of Swine and Swill is very personal, introspective and emotional, a palette of color, aggressive yet subtle. Atmospheric, yet never a passive listen!
The album features a 8 page full color booklet, which includes all lyrics and artwork by both John and Stephen. Limited to 1000 Professionally replicated copies.

LBRF026 Megaptera - You Will Never Survive This Nightmare DCD
In 1995 Slaughter Productions released a cassette tape called "You Will Never Survive This Nightmare", by cult Industrial act Megaptera. This cassette was a milestone in the development of genre of Death Industrial. Containing a re-mastered version of the debut cassette "You Will Recover"  originally released in 1991 on Nuxdorf Recordings, as well as the three track cassette "Nightmares" and three unreleased bonus tracks. The formation of Live Bait Recording Foundation could be traced back to the acquisition of this cassette. So, it is with great excitement and honor we announce the re-issue of this seminal Death Industrial release for the first time ever on CD, completely re-mastered in the summer of 2006. Fleshing out this 125 minute double CD is a long forgotten 6 track live performance from London in 2001. Featuring a completely obscure set-list featuring favorites like "Someone's at the Door" and "Plague Spot". Get re-aquainted with your Death Industrial roots, or ours at least!!!

LBRF024 Murderous Vision - Life's Blood Death's Embrace CD $12.00
The release of 2005's "Ghosts of the Soul Long Lost" retrospective marked the first 10 years of cult Industrial act Murderous Vision. Providing a looking glass into the history of this well respected purveyor of all things dark. "Life's Blood Death's Embrace" charts the path for the future of the project. A deathly mixture of the blackest of Ambient passages supplemented heavily by Classical refrains and post-industrial rhythmic structures. Taking the mixture of these to the next level, of which the foundation was laid by 2002's successful offering "The Times Without Gods". Add to this sound and vocal contributions by the controversial Industrial artist Brethren, crystal clear production values and a superb Mastering job from the legendary hands of Peter Andersson (Raison d'être, Stratvm Terror etc.). This standard jewel case edition of 1000 copies features artwork by the mesmerizing and lethal Visual Artist Rebecca Potter and multi medium Polish art phenomena Kati Astraeir to perfectly match the dark vision of this album. Audio and Art merged to create a greater whole, and it comes together impeccably. A must own for all who live for Death Industrial/Ambient music!

LBRF017 MURDEROUS VISION The Times Without Gods CD $10.00
Deep layers, melodic keyboards, classical samples, some ritualistic percussion here, some low-pitched echoed plus chorused voices there, and a good dose of darkness via reverb and minor chords; you already know the formula, don't you? But the fact is that, even if Murderous Vision repeats the patterns of an established genre with a superb accuracy – and then, maybe you can infer that this is the case of a perfectly planned album, which lacks an own soul, and that's not precisely what surrounds me –, Mr Petrus demonstrates that it has an identity as a composer. And moreover, I would describe some parts of the recording as highly emotional, giving that somewhat special touch to the album; the quality all art should transmit and something that some technically depurated musicians tend to forget nowadays. Add to it a few carefully arranged pictures (layout work of  the acclaimed Michael Riddick) in a standard jewel case, but with a professional appearance, and, as a whole, here you have the reasons why an edition like this couldn't keep on passing unnoticed for the average fan of the more listenable side of Industrial. A perfectly designed product and an infallible bet, which surely decided the artist to give its best in all senses once he realized what he had between hands. A moment of brilliancy and a high mark difficult to be surpassed in the near future, but that can set a new beginning for the band.
