Psychic Force - Welcome To ScarCity

2017-01-23 (News)

With their new full length album "Welcome To ScarCity" the The Psychic Force gang unites their old school EBM roots with their personal music spectrum evolution throughout the years, towards more modern and melodic forms of electronics.
A flight forward journey at full speed rolled-out in some 13 songs bringing us to dark oppressive cinematic industrial territories full of sample manipulations like the opening "Welcome To ScarCity", the lingering "Die In The Clinic", the upbeat "Painful Revelation" or the noir "BeDevil".
In short: "ScarCity" offers you a challenging mixture of icy EBM, harsh elektro and catchy synth melodies marking a solid return on the forefront of the dark EBM scene for The Psychic Force nicely rendered by the apocalyptic noir design of n0emi Aurora of Toxic Visions.

LPF12 - Missiles

2017-01-22 (News)

Sascha Lemon: '"Missiles" is rough, dissonant at times. It's melodic, sad and tragic (...).
I played with various influences like IDM, Ambient and film scoring. I used african percussion, acoustic guitar, strings and the beloved piano. But the carrier of it all is always the electronics.
"Missiles" is a deep and disturbing trip into my heart and soul - perhaps deeper than ever before. The music may be uncomfortable sometimes, and it is definitely edgy and unexpectable.
"Missiles" is me.

Frame Of Mind - Murderous Thoughts

2017-01-12 (News)

Founded in 1988 Frame of Mind also known as Michael Friedrich (Music, Synths, Programming) and Marko Hein (Text & Voice) started to produce dark electro wave inspired by their heroes Skinny Puppy. As part of the "first wave" of new bands of that genre the band recorded two songs: "Love is…" and "...Is love", for the first part of the famous "Body Rapture" compilation which was released in 1990 by Talla 2XLC. After getting noticed by the scene and various live shows they started to record their first full length album.
As a coincidence Marko met Torben Schmidt in 2015 and the idea for another classics CD was born. As part of the classics series now is released this true treasure under the name "Murderous Thoughts", again digitally remastered by Guido Fricke of Audion-X.
Almost 30 years after being created the album will finally see the light of day! Strictly limited and will not be repressed.
