This year has been massive. We’ve unleashed 82 titles featuring 75 artists - 45 of whom joined the Cruel Nature family for the first time.

Eternal gratitude, love and thanks to everyone for the support.

Here's a film-clip that Fawnia and I made for a new Ghosts of Electricity track, "The Doll's Ghost", starring Fawnia's doll creatures and Velvet the cat. The track will appear on the forthcoming Ghosts of Electricity album "Spooky Tales Volume 1"

Thanks to Monolith Cocktail for this wonderful review of "Lost Worlds", the latest album from my "hauntronica" project The Northern Lighthouse Board:
"Atmospheres that are as eerie as they are near magical and dreamy...a convincing score to a phantom and sorcery, magik, wiccan film yet to be made."
