Arian 1 - Integration

2016-09-15 (News)

Arian 1 is one of the longest living and most famous South American electronic bands. Founded already back in 1992 in Lima (Peru) by brothers Cesar and Eduardo Leiva, Arian 1 look back on two full-length albums, several EP's and a lot of live shows together. They are one of South America's true pioneers in EBM/Industrial and have shared stages with bands from Front 242 to God Module! However, Arian 1's sound can't be taken as pure «EBM». Instead it represents a unique mix of hi-tech future-pop, melodic techno-EBM and even progressive trance, with cold nordic tunes and intelligent sci-fi atmospheres. Some people call it "South America's Covenant" – and this comparison seems pretty accurate. The previous releases of Arian 1 are all long deleted and "Integration" is a compilation of the best tracks from different releases, including songs from the latest EP «Cyro» [June 2016].
All tracks on «Integration» were remastered and some songs are presented in all new, previously unreleased versions & remixes. 500 physical copies only – each hand-numbered.

Hoshin - Path of Dissolutions

2016-09-14 (News)

Hoshin, also know under his alias Esylt, presents us with a soothing ambient music album. Ripe with field recordings of lush forests and damp ancient temples. Layered with mechanical undertones it creates a unique atmosphere.
An enlightening voyage to the center of Mysticism. Blackened machines summon dread, while the spiritual world knocks on the door of reality.
The stench of decay stand in stark contrast to the awakened mind. We feel throbbing bass one minute, the other surrounded by murmuring crowds. From within them the cough of pestilence echo through halls that never end.
This is fresh twist on the dark ambient genre and drone music.

Pain - Coming Home

2016-09-10 (News)

When Peter Tägtgren is ascending from the depths of his legendary Abyss Studio to take the microphone, a little musical revolution is inevitable. Because what else would you expect from a death metal veteran, who not only plays industrial metal with Pain, but is considered to be one of the most influential producers in the metal scene and just recently launched his controversial project Lindemann in partnership with Rammstein's frontman.
Since the beginning Peter Tägtgren enjoyed diving into the extreme and has grown to be an untameable force. But this is exactly what makes him so fascinating. Taboos, creative stagnation or genre boundaries have never existed in his world.
He wandered the same unexplored paths when the time came to forge »Coming Home«, the 8th studio release of the industrial institution Pain. However, the path was long.
Therefore, it is no wonder, that Pain deliver a revolutionary mix of styles on this new release - bizarre alternative metal meets electronic melodies - and, in addition, the band weave some spectacular orchestral arrangements into the tracks on »Coming Home«. The result are ten highly addictive metal hymns with massive depth and experimentation.
