Psy'Aviah - Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars

2016-04-13 (News)

On new album "Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars", Psy’Aviah creates some distance from its darker and almost depressive roots taking us towards more joyful and positively driven atmospheres while keeping his unique emotional and almost ghostly creative touch intact. The lyrics deal more this time with magic, wonders and mysteries and beautifully match with the band’s characteristic sound-mix of futuristic electro, moody trip hop, floating ambient and other groovy eurodance.
"Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars" is an album that speaks to both body and mind. Psy’Aviah delivers a true chef d’oeuvre full of emotional contrasts and dynamic vibes, capturing irrational moments of life across the universe. 
Tradition for Psy’Aviah now, the album also comes out as a limited deluxe carton box edition with a 14-track bonus CD holding album songs reinterpretations with a much more dancefloor techno / trance oriented sonic approach.

Entrzelle - Total Progressive Collapse

2016-04-12 (News)

Uncompromisingly individualistic, Entrzelle continue true to form to deliver their latest magnum opus, "Total Progressive Collapse". An album that represents the culmination of 3 years of dedicated work and introspection, and that aims to convey a traditional album feel through story-telling, dynamic expression, and performance nuances. The songs build and support one another in a way that takes the listener on a complete musical experience, and the music is recorded in such a way to allow as much variety and freedom as possible - this means heavy automation in the instruments and unique repeated performances in the vocals, among other techniques. Harsh sounds and pounding beats are in full force, but are harnessed to support the songs rather than asphyxiate them. Entrzelle's music is unique, daring electronic music that pushes the boundaries between form and disorder, tranquility and rage... in a violent and merciless return to storytelling through noise and color.

Sonic Area - Eyes In The Sky

2016-04-11 (News)

Sonic Area returns with 'Eyes In The Sky', a release which astoundingly combines the unmistakable with the unexpected. Inspired by the mysteries secretly hidden within dark nights and by classical sci-fi culture, this oeuvre is about a nostalgic cosmic space and time travel in an imaginary spherical spaceship. A metaphor of the phantasmagoric biosphere/technosphere all autists and mind explorers nowadays survive in, locked in their own imagination while drifting into the unknown. But it is also about rediscovering our inner child and simply looking up, being amazed and living a humbling experience. 'Eyes In The Sky' features eleven fully electronic vintage modular synth compositions for a stellar ride into a retro sci fi universe, passing the legacy of electronic, repetitive and minimal music.

ELM - Hardline

2016-04-10 (News)

Swedish one-man assault squad ELM will not deceive with "Hardline". True to its title, this album has attitude. It is strong, raw and menacing. With its powerful vocals, ripping basslines and stomping beats, this EBM album also combines intelligent lyrics with an astounding production maturity level that will leave you breathless. 
Not surprising, knowing that this well-crafted high quality electronic album is written and produced by none other than the elektro veteran Peter Elm (Restricted Area) and mastered by comrade Pontus Stålberg (Spetsnaz). "Hardline" is an assault of lust, rage and uncompromising aggression and a true wake-up call to all EBM freaks: the ELM revolution starts now!

2016-04-09 (News)

Polynesian rock band, being more and more popular among the listeners around the world, comes back with a new music video. It is the third single promoting the latest, released in 2015 album - "Son of Sun".

Blush Response - Reshaper

2016-04-09 (News)

Blush Response is a fascinating, vibrant new artist, frequenting the outer realms of post punk, industrial, techno, you-name-it and has a plethora of releases. The intention behind Blush Response is to always push the limits of sound, structure, and perception, creating a modern version of what he perceives industrial music to be: brutal, inventive, uncompromising and always innovative. Inspired by industrial music, Blush Response's music is characterized by a heavy approach to sound design, combining rough, heavy beats with thick, distorted synths. A pulsating slice of straightforward noise-filtered techno with a good dose of industrial and ebm influences while Blush's improvising skills enable a sound that blurs the lines between these genres.
