Näo - Duel

2016-11-04 (News)

An intriguing intro carried by suspenseful electronics and alienated voices is only the prelude to a breathtaking sonic surplus of puissant bass lines, sharp guitar riffs, pushing beats and majestic synths. In continuous progression of intensity, quiet meditative parts turn into intoxicating outbursts of power and volume. Basic elements of advanced experimental electronics, industrial, post- and prog rock are alchemically interlocked in a most perfect way which is Näo's unquestioned trademark.

Hologram_ - Amen: Requiem for Heart Fragment

2016-11-03 (News)

Hologram_ deconstructs and extends something personal by borrowing and using external forces' phantasmagoria.
The eleven tracks offer a stunning combination of sounds and styles that mixes industrial elements with cinematic orchestration, idm and glitch. Heavy repetitive beats, sparse, syncopated percussion patterns and massive bass lines containing prominent low frequencies carry an intoxicating fusion of darkened futuristic epic soundscapes and melodies.

Crippled Black Phoenix - Bronze

2016-11-02 (News)

Just like the alloy this album is named after, Crippled Black Phoenix's music is made of metal and non-metal elements. Dark rock forms the base ingredient in the musical amalgamation process, but it is the addition of metal, progressive influences, gothic, wave, even pop, and many other elements as well as a changing cast of musicians that result in each song shining with its own individual hue and tone. Yet a deep sense of anguish, despair, longing, loss, melancholy, and nostalgia forms a binding force that holds 'Bronze' together and formulates an encompassing theme.

Dronny Darko - Spira Igneus

2016-10-29 (News)

This album is dark. Having more in common with the "Outer Tehom" release than "Neuroplasticity".
Massive deep drone builds momentum as reality cracks open to reveal the darkness of the void.
The majestic "Spira Igneus" humming in a frequency long forgotten. Lunacy caught form between damp tears and unholy chants. Ancient secrets uttered between clenched teeth in tortured whimper and lingering whispers.
Ambient, minimalist drone and nightmarish dark ambient.
Written, Produced, Performed - Oleg Puzan, Artwork & Mastering - Simon Heath.
