Ugasanie - Eye of Tunguska

2015-10-12 (News)

Ugasanie is back with his third album entitled "Eye of Tunguska". A strange incident took place in the 1990s in late autumn in the taiga. Not far from the epicenter of the Tunguska meteorite impact site. A group of students went hiking to to see this legendary site. They lost their way after they decided to spend the night in one of the winter huts built by hunters of the land. Their mutilated bodies were later found near an old abandoned geological base with radiation burns. Ugasanie explores this incident together with photographer Alexsandr Yakushev in this eerily cold and unforgiving dark ambient release.

Diary Of Dreams - Grau im Licht

2015-10-10 (News)

One and a half year after the extremely successful ‘Elegies in Darkness’, Diary of Dreams return with an all new 12-tracks album! The overall feeling on ‘Grau im Licht’ (= Grey in Light) is unusually familiar – almost as if it was intrinsically tied to mankind. And yet, in the past few years it seems to be growing more and more acute. If you look at the world, it feels as if there is only one sensible reaction – to become emotionally numb or withering, or to despair completely. War, destruction, fanaticism, egoism, suffering and mourning as far as the eye can see. Everyone is fighting for themselves and for their own interests only, with nobody looking at the greater scheme of things. Just as always. This is precisely the main focus of "Grau im Licht", just as the media with its manipulation, do- minated by national issues. Therefore, the 12 songs of the 12th album by Diary of Dreams are as dark and violent as can be expected. There is no shortage of grand gestures – dark rhythm bulwarks throw themselves against massive guitar strongholds, while electronic walls of sound carry Adrian’s charismatic vocals through the compositions. And of course the album also features the typical melodic-melancholic synth hymns and deep-delving ballads. Thus, this new work has become everything the perfect Diary of Dreams album should be: powerful, melancholic, irate, rousing and thought-provoking! Besides, "Grau im Licht" has become a statement – against the epidemic madness and for empathy and kindness…

Freakangel - The Show Of Violence

2015-10-09 (News)

Recorded during Freakangel’s extended "The Ones To Fall" tour last winter, this aptly titled "The Show Of Violence" live album immortalizes the band’s sonic fury and performance rage on stage over the last 5 years. Since its creation in late 2009, the Estonian electronic-industrial-metal band Freakangel has been playing extensively across Europe including highly praised shows at renown festivals like Wave-Gotik-Treffen or Castle Party.
This concert at the Rockstar’s Club in the band’s very own city Tallinn – Estonia, was also filmed using 5 different cameras and will be revealed on internet channels soon for a full visual aggressive and detonating experience. Please keep sensible souls away from these poisonous sounds: Freakangel stands for the soundtrack to the ultimate forces of destruction within a tortured human heart. The end is only the beginning.

Lovelorn Dolls - Happy Valentine

2015-10-08 (News)

With its appealing somber theme, catchy chorus, incisive goth rock guitar melodies and dark and tortured electronic arrangements, "Happy Valentine" is released. Lovelorn Dolls recorded an amazing version together with Maja Marcucci, an unplugged recording beautifully reinforcing the dramatic atmosphere of the song’s difficult theme of domestic violence, and abused & battered women in general. With the aim to stretch this song’s potential to the max and to plunge it into new and different universes. Lovelorn Dolls also intelligently selected different artists they collaborated with to get 4 amazing remixed versions, starting with Helalyn Flowers and surprising 80’s-tainted almost Eurodance version, a modern and angry dancefloor mix by dark techno club guru DJ Simon Carter, a minimal and almost theatrical intimate retake by Jean-Marc Lederman and enchanting and hypnotizing ambient electro trance reinterpretation by the genius Restriction 9.
Lovelorn Dolls offer 7 bonus live songs recorded during their stunning performance at the Eurorock festival in May 2015. Dynamic show with full symbiosis with their audience while their heavy-loaded synthesizers bleed their infectious electronic melodies across the walls of melodic guitar riffs, the upbeat manic drums and the female singer’s highly expressive carrying voice.

Helalyn Flowers - Beware Of Light

2015-10-07 (News)

The exploding Italian duo Helalyn Flowers strike back by surprise and hit us with an amazing new 6-track EP! The "Beware Of Light" EP is first of all the result of an amazing collaboration with Chris Pohl (Blutengel) showcasing a hyper catchy and successful vocal duo together with N0emi Aurora for a darker and more romantic goth version of this dynamic and highly melodic title song. But this EP is also a true tour de force of metallic industrial rock with the apocalyptic "Karmageddon" which reveals Helalyn Flowers' harsh and angry face! Featuring muscled incisive guitar riffs, revolted female vocals, upbeat electro beats and carrying synth lines. Two strong new songs announcing a more than promising 4th studio album "Sonic Foundation" that is scheduled for an early Spring 2016 release…
"Karmageddon" was also morphed into a techno dance club hit by the Brazilian electro masters of Aesthetische while the cult German act The Psychic Force turned it into a vibrating elektro dancefloor pounder with hypnotic guest vox by DJ Michelle himself; and "Beware Of Light" also received the remix treatment by XMH for an upbeat cyber punk retake.
