nimbus 001:
the apoplexy twist orchestra "create the new" 12 inch
date: 11.09.2004, 500 copies, white vinyl
(split label release with limbless records (life of hate records kinda flaked out on this))

songs:
create the new (pt.1), a sweet case of mutilation, 4000 miles and counting, vive la tristesse, hunted and sold, create the new (pt.2), exit, the 15 minutes attraction, i believe in suicide

the now sadly defunct apoplexy twist orchestra, one of the most important bands of the first wave of chaotic, orchidish sounding emo-hardcore bands from europe present us here their last songs ever. maybe you already know them from their split records with the KINETIC CRASH COOPERATION, LA QUIETE or LOUISE CYPHRE ... they developed their style much into a heavier, darker vision of bleak melodies with superfast grindblasts and intense screaming with political lyrics. definetly the most canadian sounding band ever to come out of germany. for fans of URANUS, ONE EYED GOD PROPHECY etc

 

nimbus 002:
the mock heroic "4 songs" 7 inch
date: 05. 05. 05, 500 copies

songs:
untitled, an example of the song as the prison, your bodyweight in wrong moves, this is dried blood

one of the greatest new sensations in early emo-history. this british outfit manages it to deliver us the PERFECT blend of jazzy, technical music skills ( OFF MINOR come to mind!) and the raw, unrelentless power and emotional energy of bands like MOHINDER and other early-Gravity hardcore bands.

 

nimbus 003:
utarid / am i dead yet / a fine boat, that coffin / the mock heroic
european tour split 12 inch

date: 01.08.05, 1000 copies
(split label release with react with protest)

songs:
utarid: there is definatly room for growth, accent fall on the first syllable, in between me and quietness
aidy: capture the castle, my name is not goliath, standing on top of jungles at 05:30pm
tmh: on the study of the living dead, backing dead horses
afbtc: schillys little helper

utarid are from malaysia and open the reign on this lp with 3 awesome chaotic and emotive tracks that reminds of reversal of man or uranus. you know em from their most recent european tour. sexiest band alive! am i dead yet are the new belgium screamo heros with their mix between heavy doublebass driven darkness and chaotic screamed hardcore ala funeral diner. the mock heroic (UK) with two mid 90ies appreciation classics with some awesome riffing and insane drumming. a better, more technical version of shotmaker ? one fat bastard of a song from a fine boat, that coffin (ex calling gina clark), starts with a huge black sabbath hommage and bursts out in metalized chaos aggression, jazzy emo parts and freaky guitar solos... what more can you ask for ?
 

nimbus 004:
her breath on glass "building monuments to survival" 12inch

date: 12.02.06, 600 copies
(split label release with react with protest, ramen factory and the band)

songs:
dirty is pretty, you have her eyes, the kiss before the crash, scars of porcelain, take it on the mouth, a casket to call our own

her breath on glass is a two piece band featuring the emotional talents of Josh and Andy, who obviously doesn't quite get enough of his cheesemo fetish satiated by the saddest landscape as he has had to start another band that sounds like awesome epic mid 90s emo in the vein of raein, portaits of past and andys pre- saddest landscape band - the last forty seconds
 

nimbus 005 :
asthma atttaq - "s/t" 12"

date: 20.03.06, 500 copies

songs:
breathe heavy, they'll pick them bones dry, premium prosthetics, sassquatch, not enough bullets to say i'm sorry, apostrophe die, you'll need a shoehorn, theme song for the avenger

asthma atttaq take the listener through a winding corridor of screamo, noise, metal, post rock, and jazz with all kinds of cool, trippy parts that sound like Tarantula Hawk or Yeti (and even kinda like Yes a little bit), twinkling emocore (not unlike Shotmaker) with insanly screamed and high pitched vocals (think Jeromes Dream) and blistering, wall of sound tech noise madness (ever heard of Lightning Bolt?!)
