Altar Of Flies "Tomrum" is out now.
Released as limited edition boxset (30 copies only) and includes silk-printed custom box, vintage reel-to-reel magnetic tape with recorded phonogram, CD-R with the same audio material, the set of 4 hand-printed cards, artist's photocard and authentic elements of original reel tapes packages.

Mattias Gustafsson (Altar Of Flies) kindly shared some info about this album:
"This recording was originally meant to be released on an American label. After a few years of waiting everything run out in the sand. So when Edward asked me if I wanted to do this beautiful reel to reel release on his label, I felt that "Tomrum" would be perfect for that format.
In 2010 I found a cheap Sony reel to reel recorder in a thrift store and had started experiments with reel to reel loops. I also had started doing loops with an broken tape echo.
So this is a very important puzzle in the Altar Of Flies discography since it´s the first release that included reel to reel and tape echo loops. It´s the missing link between "Förruttnelsen" and "Sacred Trails". I think that this recording have stand the test of time and still sounds very good. Four tracks that forebodes both the "Female" and "The Violent Blow" LPs that were recorded not long after this."
