Diorama - Zero Soldier Army

2016-08-25 (News)

Three and a half year after their latest album, leading German Dark Electro act Diorama return with their all new album. From the explosive opening track ‘ZSA’ to the almost surreal album closer ‘Stay Undecided’, Diorama celebrate their unique mixture of Dark Electro, Indie and Progressive.
"The Songs have been written in these our hard times of more and more intricated global crisis and the ever growing raise of fanatic nationalism and other insane incidents of certain human minds. We intended to oppose a ‘term' to the increasing bewilderment / the imminent fiasco of human civilization we all seem to precipitate towards… a term that would express at the same time our incapacity to defend ourselves and our will to fight for what our civilization has reached over the past centuries – the "Zero Soldier Army"" explains Diorama mastermind Torben Wendt.
"When we produced "Zero Soldier Army", we first of all re-discovered our love for powerful Electronic sound and further developed it. Harder and straighter as on recent albums, but with that specific feel for melancholy as always. The album turned out to be 100% Diorama.

The Beauty of Gemina - Minor Sun

The album «Minor Sun» is a sort of the project's 10-years birthday present, dedicated first and foremost to the band's most loyal fans, who have been eagerly awaiting its release. Those looking to classify the The Beauty Of Gemina, might choose Dark Wave, a genre characterized as dark, forlorn, lamenting yet longing. «That's probably not far off. It's an apt description of the scene in which our music has struck a chord and the types of large festivals we play in Europe,» agreed Michael Sele, before finishing his thought with a wink. «It fits perfectly to the "little" sun in minor key that we radiate. Because we're not all that dark, in fact musically we're quite bright and colorful. We tackle societal and contemporary topics as a modern band, melding soundscape and lyrics into a cohesive ensemble.» The Beauty Of Gemina's new album «Minor Sun» is guaranteed not to leave you hanging.

On their brand new album ‘The Black Isles', the 3 remaining members Babeth, JC and Guillaume present 10 rich tracks, mostly sung in English and while on the previous mini-album ‘Sub Lumina Prima' they lacked a bit of unity in their compositions, this album is carefully crafted and very well arranged whole.
