Növö - The Shortwaves

2016-06-04 (News)

Veteran electronic music artist Laurent Boudic strikes back with his 5th album transmission under the Növö moniker! "The Shortwaves" reveals an interesting return to the band’s darker roots, with a conceptual theme definitely offering space to sonic experiment.
Növö’s characteristic vintage analogue synths and reflecting minimal melodies are invaded by viral distorted radio noises and contagious echoing samples which are manipulated and morphed into percolating bouncing beats or other repetitive melodic lines.
Dealing in essence with disorganized communication and organized global (dis)information, "The Shortwaves" plunges us into a dense and heavy cold war setting, an almost claustrophobic paranoiac cinematic atmosphere.

Combichrist - This Is Where Death Begins

2016-05-31 (News)

Norwegian-American group Combichrist returns with an unapologetic masterpiece. The new long player "This Is Where Death Begins" is an apocalyptic behemoth of guitars, electronica, infernal drums and dark elemental force.
Thudding tribal drums, guitars slammed in your face like a 20-ton-weight, chopped up synth-attacks and in the midst of it Andy LaPlegua rampaging like an unrestrained demon of wrath: on their new album, "This Is Where Death Begins", Combichrist are conjuring up a proverbial hellfire. A black monolith of unbridled aggression. Produced by Oumi Kapila (Filter) and Andy LaPlegua, with guest vocals from Chris Motionless (Motionless In White) and Ariel Levitan (MXMS) and mastered by the legendary Vlado Meller (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Slipknot), Combichrist have created a milestone of their career. "This Is Where Death Begins" will be also released as a deluxe 2-CD-Digipak-version which contains the bonus disc "History Of Madness: Old School And Rarities Live At Complex, LA" (a fine selection of the group's early Industrial classics.) The album is also released as a strictly limited fan set in a deluxe A5-Digipak containing the double-CD plus the complete recording of the group's energetic live show at Summer Breeze Festival 2015 on CD and DVD - Combichrist's first ever official live release.

Rabia Sorda - King Of The Wasteland

2016-05-30 (News)

All you need is hate! On the new single "King Of The Wasteland", the Mexican-German inferno-mob Rabia Sorda unleashes the primal force of wrath in an anthemic Electro-Punk-attack. A storm is coming. A new beginning needs the complete and utter annihilation of the old. Anger is an energy... and each generation needs its own kind of rebellion. Like a force of nature, Rabia-Sorda- and Hocico-front-berzerker Erk Aicrag unleashes a cleansing tornado of hatred. "King Of The Wasteland" combines hard Electro with raw Punk and Industrial to a modern anthem of insurgence. Bundled with b-side "Monster", which effectively bonds retro-electronica with a punky attitude, plus three adequately infernal remixes, Rabia Sorda crown themselves kings of the wasteland and let expectations rise for the upcoming new album. "King Of The Wasteland" is released in a hand-numbered Digipak, limited to 999 copies.
