Lucifer's Aid - Reconstruction

2018-05-21 (News)

Carl Nilsson aka. Lucifer's Aid has quickly established himself as one of the strongest new forces on the EBM scene over the last year with shows on all major festivals such as Wave Gotik Treffen, NCN, Amphi Festival, E- tropolis, Electronic Winter and Progress13 to name just a few. Something that we don’t think has ever been done within a one year time frame.

When he now returns with the MCD "Reconstruction" it is with such an unstoppable force of energy that all alternative dance floors around the world will simply be boiling. Straight, hard and club oriented versions on some of his already now classic tracks like "Deep Inside", "Future Mess" and "Unfollow Me" mixed with brand new tracks. It´s for sure one of the best hard electronic releases we have ever seen released from the Nordics. A new chapter in hard dance-able, rhythmic industrial EBM mixing the cold harsh feeling of acts such as The Klinik, Dive and Front 242 taking it to a new 2018 level.
Limited to just 500 copies worldwide (hand numbered) this will for sure be a future gem in people's collection.

The mixes are backed up by two brand-new songs, the towering, darkly atmospheric "Black Hole", which was co-written by Mario Vaerewijck (ex-Insekt) and the thudding club-tune "I’d Die For You." Suicide Commando are back to invade your local dance floor and personal sound system – The end is near, so dance the apocalypse!

Rabia Sorda - The World Ends Today

2018-04-27 (News)

Bastards unite … because the world ends today! The Mexican-German band Rabia Sorda has recorded its hardest album to date under the competent hands of Nils Lesser (Cypecore). "The World Ends Today" will be released in May as a double CD including the bonus mini-album "Explota! (La Bomba En Mi Cabeza)".

A punch in your face with unbridled ire… that is probably the easiest and shortest way to describe Rabia Sorda’s new album "The World Ends Today." Thudding Electronica is in a constant clash with punky rhythms from drummer Maxx on a front of guitars from Marcus Engel to create an infernal foundation that whirling stage-dervish Erk Aicrag puts to excellent use to shout, scream and yell out his rage like there is no tomorrow. Nils Lesser’s tight mix wraps this smashing piece of wrath into a massive wall of noise that conveys the notion that Rabia Sorda might finally have arrived at the kind of sound that they always planned to achieve. Call it Metal, Industrial, Electro-Punk or whatever you wish… it doesn’t really matter, as you will be wanting to smash up the room and rock out of control after the first song, anyhow. On top of the 17 songs of the main album, the band also dishes up a bonus disc with 8 more new songs, experiments and remixes. The end is near! Let’s start a riot!
