Avarice In Audio - Apollo & Dionysus

2016-03-15 (News)

Avarice In Audio's second album "Apollo & Dionysus", an album drenched in symbolic reference, high quality production value and raw emotions fused together to create something greater than the sum of their parts. With the music written and produced in conjunction between new band member and longtime collaborator Lawrie (Studio-X, Cryogenic Echelon) and Ayax (Ascension Ex, Cryogenic Echelon), and with the lyrics written between Gerry and the guest collaborators, "Apollo & Dionysus" strongly confirms that the Avarice In Audio triumvirate have become an absolute force to be reckoned with on the underground electronic music scene.

The Sexorcist - This Is Erotic Body Music

2016-03-14 (News)

Agonoize front-man Chris L. returns with his vision of a modernized form of EBM. Raw, minimalist, melodic and relentlessly floor filling, "This Is Erotic Body Music" is the stuff that cult club tunes are made of. With a full-frontal attack of wry black humor, pumping sequencer lines, bone-dry beats and minimalist, yet catchy melodies, The Sexorcist, the new band project from Chris L. (Agonoize, Dance Or Die) and his partner in crime Gunnar Kreuz was one of the most pleasant new surprises to hit the Electro-scene in late 2015. It doesn't matter whether the band takes a satirical approach on life in the countryside outside Berlin in the smashingly anthemic "Brandenburg" or is tackling more serious matters, while embarking down a harder path in songs like "Re (e-)volution": the duo's Erotic Body Music is always full of club-hit-potential. The band rejuvenates the old school of EBM in the best possible way: instead of desperately trying to sound retro, The Sexorcist go for sexy, instead!

Helalyn Flowers - Sonic Foundation

2016-03-13 (News)

The Italian duo Helalyn Flowers strike back at full force with the uncompromising determination of N0emi Aurora and maXX. On this new full length album, they more than ever push their artistic limits to the max: connecting extremes together, fusing eclectic music styles just like playing with fire and ice, experimenting with their colorful sonic palette for the absolute fusion of genres distilled into their very own and so characteristic hi-energy and modern darkwave style lead by the charismatic female vocals.
Just take extremely opposite songs like the catchy addictive cyber pop of "Frozen Star" and the speed punk rock collaboration with Angelspit on "Maths Of Chaos" and you clearly perceive that the bar set by this album of maturity for Helalyn Flowers affirms the band’s open minded creative approach.

Bleib Modern - Veil of Tears

2016-03-12 (News)

The German post punk band Bleib Modern doesn't sleep. After the incredibly well received debut 'All is fair in Love and War', the one-man project turned into a real band of 5 members. All musicians played music for many years - and that is what you will definitely hear on their new album 'Vale of Tears'. It's a mixture of the old style and many new influences like cold wave, shoegaze, noise rock and synth sounds. Still: the sound of Bleib Modern remains melancholic and psychedelic.
The CD version limited to 500 copies.

Unzucht - Kettenhund

2016-03-11 (News)

The new single "Kettenhund" shows Unzucht sporting a harder sound than ever before. With a hybrid of Metal, Industrial-elements and melodic Dark Rock, the band opens a new chapter in an ongoing success-story.
Drum salvos like a machine gun, a massive wall of guitars and the words "Ich bin Gott" on the new single "Kettenhund", Unzucht crank everything up to 11 right from the start. Alternating with a dark melodic verse part that more closely resembles the group's trademark sound, the song becomes a highly successful tightrope walk between the old and a new-found harshness, firmly cementing Unzucht's status as one of the most innovative German-language Dark-Metal-acts. The second new song "Ein Tag wie jeder andere" rocks out with big guitar riffs and driving electronics, but stays in more melodic territory, thus making it a perfect counterpart to the title track. The single is topped off by three excellent remixes, among others from Die Krupps, which take both songs into club-compatible territories. The single will be released as a hand numbered Digipak, limited to 999 copies.
