Xev and her Diffuzion gang strike back out of the blue with an 8-track EP. Taken from the band's forthcoming 3rd full length album "Still Believe" reveals a more modern high-tech break-beat sound approach while reinforcing its icy elektro blast giving a very interesting twist to Diffuzion’s dancey cold synth pop music. On these 3 new songs, Diffuzion enjoyed toying with vocoder fx on Xev’s sensual catchy voice to reinforce the frozen sensation of these vibrating techno-pop tunes with an edge.

Heimataerde - Hick Hack Hackebeil

2016-07-13 (News)

The undead templars of Heimataerde return with a catchy mix of Electro, medieval music and Neue Deutsche Härte on their new single "Hick Hack Hackebeil" - a smashing harbinger for the epic new album "Aerdenbrand". The henchman grinds his axe, the delinquent readies himself for his final breath. Wrapped in a garb of bauble and taffeta, the beat dances to an intriguing nursery rhyme that feels like the nightmare of a sleepless night, while the melodie "Hick Hack Hackbeil" grinds into the subconscious with pompous choirs. With a fusion of anthem and horror movie, Heimataerde yet again indulge in their unconventional and non-conformist approach to port long gone musical traditions into the here and now. Next to the hit-laden title track which is on the single in three versions, the band is providing catchy club-compatible interpretations of medieval songs with the Jewish "Tsur Mishelo" and the old pilgrim-tune "Stella Splendens." "Hick Hack Hackebeil" is released as a hand-numbered Digipak MCD, limited to 666 copies.

2016-07-12 (News)

Belgian band The Juggernauts are the most important rejuvenators of the classic EBM sound. The debut album "The Juggernauts Are Coming" features club-compatible tunes built on a minimalist foundation of beats, sequencer and shouts. Like the name-inspiring symbol for an unstoppable destructive force, the music of The Juggernauts blasts out of the speakers like an energetic stronghold of beats, bass and wrath. On "The Juggernauts Are Coming" the band use thudding drum machines and rumbling low frequencies accompany front man Borg while he shouts all the anger, cynicism and social criticism out of his system. The Juggernauts never fall into the retro-trap, providing underground dance music with a refreshingly harsh and modern approach. With songs like the tried and tested club-hit "Phoenix", it is about time for a real renaissance of EBM.
