L'Âme Immortelle - Unsterblich

2016-02-22 (News)

The sheer amount of passion L'Âme Immortelle inject into the extraordinary compilation "Unsterblich – 20 Jahre L'Âme Immortelle" is nothing short of striking. Much adored classics from two decades of darkly romantic music history, compiled from every single chapter, every single official release and every single form of artistic grandeur blaze in the light of an entirely new sound. By teaming up with Krischan Jan-Eric Wesenberg (Rotersand) and Gregor Beyerle (Skyla Vertex, Reaper) a sound came to life marrying the Electro bones of their early days to the production standards of today, thereby creating something new and stunningly epic. In a unheard-of show of strength the band and their producers succeeded in conserving the early pieces' unparalleled aura and yet creating an all-new listening experience.
As a voluptuous extra, this opus is further refined and graced by countless rare and unreleased photos from Sonja Kraushofers and Thomas Rainers archives, adding a mesmerising visual component to this musical body of work.
It contains 28 pages booklet and13 of the most popular L'Âme Immortelle tracks in completely new recorded 2015 versions.

2016-02-21 (News)

Henrik Nordvargr Björkk is the colossus behind the world renowned acts Pouppée Fabrikk and MZ. 412.
Combine the ritual aspects of MZ. 412 and the darkest ambience from Nordvargr, with vocal materials and a rising spiritual awakening, and you get Anima Nostra - a collaboration between Margaux Renaudin and Henrik N Björkk that marks a new era in the vast cannon of the latter and as well as the former. Anima Nostra is also a visual experience, with artwork that will guide the open mind into deeper understanding. The album features guest vocals by death metal mastermind Nader Sadek, recorded inside the sacred Sneferu pyramid in Cairo. Included is an alternate version of MZ. 412's 'Mourning Star'; an even more ominous behemoth than the original, this track perfectly complements the rhythmical structures contained in the album. A remarkable synchronization of minds. Comes in a magnificent, metallic-print adorned 6-panel digipak, with 8-page booklet, containing stunning alchemical artwork throughout by Renaudin.

Accessory - Ship Of Fools

2016-02-19 (News)

Accessory release a new single, providing their music a refreshing retro-kick, thus making "Ship Of Fools" a floor filling blueprint for EBM in the 21st century. For almost 2 decades now, Accessory are a household name for powerful and honest club sounds which find the perfect balance between catchiness, bass-power and well-dosed aggression. On the new single "Ship Of Fools", they have implemented a solid dose of good old EBM-feeling into their universe, creating one of the most ass-kicking dance floor fillers in the last few years. The "Light My Darkness" is also a smasher for lovers of hard dancefloor tunes, making powerful Electro. The single is topped by 3 very different but always club-compatible remixes and seriously whets the appetite for the next long player.
