Sweet Solitude is proud to present the next three releases in the 'Infinity Project'!!

Auschwitz-Birkenau - (8 CD - Boxset)

More anonymous HNW from the artist that bought you 'Kulmhof' & 'Tarawa'. This time the focus is on the factory of death that was 'Auschwitz'. 8 CD's of bleak unrelenting HNW. Comes in an 8 way presentation case with 3 inserts.

Edition of 5 copies

Price is 20 GBP each - No trades on this one sorry! PM me if interested.

Small Hours - 'Zooey' (15.00 Min)

The rather beautiful Ms. Deschanel has a striking resemblance to a certain Ms. Perry. This EP is my tribute to her! (More will no doubt follow :-)

Carrie - 'Smile At Me & I Forget' (3 tape set)

A new 3 tape set of short ANW tracks, dedicated to Carrie Underwood. Expect dramatic balladry from Ms. Underwood, which then recedes into barely there ANW. Headphones are advised when listening to this one!!

Gluttoness - 'Natural Disasster' (CD & DVD set)

I'm very pleased to announce this (much delayed) CD & DVD set from Gluttoness. It's no secret that the gentleman behind this project prefers the 'larger' lady, and this release gives him the opportunity to document his obsession with sound and visuals. Extreme 'bottom' end HNW - Not to be missed!!!

Edition of 15 copies

Price is 8 GBP each. Trades considered. PM me if interested.

Also, this month I am pleased to give you the first 3 releases in my new series 'Shades Of Grey'. This is a HNW / ANW series themed around true crime. In life nothing is black or white, there are always 'shades of grey':

Ripper Victims - (HNW Compilation)

The harshest, filthiest HNW release you will ever own. Themed around the Victims of 'Jack The Ripper'. Featuring: A, Static Mantra, Werewolf Jerusalem, Dead Body Collection, Small Hours & White Gimp Mask. Not for the faint hearted!!!

Edition of 20 Copies.

Price is 6 GBP each. Trades welcomed. PM me if interested.

Nightmare Castle - 'Death To Pigs' (45.30 Min)

Nightmare Castle brings you a HNW release themed around the 'Tate-LaBianca' murders of the late 1960's. Highly recommended!!!

Edition of 10 Copies.

Price is 6 GBP each. Trades welcomed. PM me if interested.

The Monochrome Man - Sad Sketches For The Monochrome Man (15 Min)

Collaboration EP on 3.5" CD between myself and the HNW legend Richard Ramirez. Themed around the Muswell Hill murderer Dennis Nislen, who killed for 'company'.

Edition of 10 Copies
