The Beauty of Gemina - Minor Sun

2016-08-24 (News)

The album «Minor Sun» is a sort of the project's 10-years birthday present, dedicated first and foremost to the band's most loyal fans, who have been eagerly awaiting its release. Those looking to classify the The Beauty Of Gemina, might choose Dark Wave, a genre characterized as dark, forlorn, lamenting yet longing. «That's probably not far off. It's an apt description of the scene in which our music has struck a chord and the types of large festivals we play in Europe,» agreed Michael Sele, before finishing his thought with a wink. «It fits perfectly to the "little" sun in minor key that we radiate. Because we're not all that dark, in fact musically we're quite bright and colorful. We tackle societal and contemporary topics as a modern band, melding soundscape and lyrics into a cohesive ensemble.» The Beauty Of Gemina's new album «Minor Sun» is guaranteed not to leave you hanging.

2016-08-22 (News)

Trouble Fait is a long existing, but not very productive French project, that looks back on already 2 mini-albums (1998+2004), 1 full length (2010) and one split album (1996). This Cold Wave act has clearly been influenced by a number of 80's legends and their sound tries to bring back the sound of the 80's, so dear to all the members of the band, like Bauhaus, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, The Stranglers.
On their brand new album ‘The Black Isles', the 3 remaining members Babeth, JC and Guillaume present 10 rich tracks, mostly sung in English and while on the previous mini-album ‘Sub Lumina Prima' they lacked a bit of unity in their compositions, this album is carefully crafted and very well arranged whole.

Lucifer's Aid - New To Reality

2016-08-19 (News)

Carl Nilsson the man the project presents harsh and direct industrial EBM that brings back memories from early Dive, The Klinik era mixed with harshness from projects like Noisex and early Ant-Zen stuff. It's like a fist punch right in the face. Crushing hard rhythms and beats with hard vocals. This is exactly what the harder scene needed... A fuel injection, something fresh.
Carl Nilsson is no newcomer to the music scene and have several projects like Lithium and The Operating Tracks on his CV-list. But with Lucifer's Aid you can tell he is held by no limits. One of the hardest, straight forward and well needed albums to come from Sweden in years.
