IAMX - Metanoia

2015-09-10 (News)

The creation of this new record, called Metanoia, was initially overshadowed by a big change in Chris’ life.
"There was a point when I believed I would never make another record, concerning IAMX’s sudden break from recording and touring a few years ago due to chronic insomnia. “I associated my career with everything that was hurting me, but slowly I managed to filter out the poison and get back to what I really love." – Chris explains.”
Chris has now put the final caresses to his upcoming sixth IAMX album. “"I am proud and exhilarated to announce the creation of the new album, and ecstatic my musical bastard child has got this far. There is a simplicity to the sound that takes me back to my earlier work. It is purely electronic, lustful dystopian Man versus Machine."”
Like an electro glam soundtrack to a Jan Svankmajer film, IAMX – "Metanoia" mixes Corner’s erotically charged dynamic vocals with fresh intricate electronic production, melancholia and piercing lyrics. Music that is as brutal as it is emotional.

Sleepless in Pyongyang - Kronos

2015-09-07 (News)

DIN (A) Tod mastermind Sven Claussen returns with his new project. The limited 7" single "Kronos" provides a fascinating first glimpse into a playful sonic universe comprised of Cold Wave and Minimal Electro. The first single of "Sleepless In Pyongyang" will only receive a physical release as a 7" vinyl single that is strictly limited to 99 copies. This rare gem is destined to become an absolute collector's item for people with a distinct taste in music. The name "Sleepless in Pyongyang" conjures up quite contrasting associations: on the one hand, it reminds of the coldness and inhumanity of a totalitarian regime while also sporting a striking (and most probably deliberate) similarity to the title of a highly successful romantic comedy. The combination of both extremes is a kind of fitting description of the music of Sven Claussen's newest endeavor. The title track mingles electronic coldness with a menacingly distorted voice to an intimidating musical vision in a monolithic behemoth of a song dominated by the mechanical prowess of electronic machines. The b-side "Starlight Desperation" is a more breezy affair. Powered by cult-machines like Roland's TR-707 and the Juno 60 synthesizer, the song reminds of the golden age of Cold Wave. Produced by Christiano Santini. Retro-charms meet unbridled creativity in tracks that will touch, captivate and unsettle.

Te album sees My Dying Bride celebrate its 25th anniversary in style with a landmark opus, sure to sate the thirst of fans both old and new. Spanning 8 tracks, these crushing metallic epics laced with funereal atmosphere are undoubtedly among the band's heaviest and darkest works to date, all while still exploring new realms of creativity.
