DESIDERII MARGINIS – Years lend a golden charm digiCD eternal pride out 16-6 To gain a deeper understanding of what is, it is necessary to examine what was – to go to the sources and the origins. With this album we are invited to experi-ence the very birth of what is now a well established and worldwide recognised project within the dark-ambient scene. The contents of this album is made up of some 73 minutes of material from the first three tape-releases from 1993. Highly sought after by collectors but only available in a mere dozen of handmade copies, these songs are now finally made available to a greater audience. When you listen to the music with the knowledge that hindsight brings - it is obvious that these are the roots and the foundations, not only of the first full length album ‘Songs Over Ruins’, but of every succesive release up to the latest ‘Seven Sorrows’. In 1993 there was no set course, no long term plan – and still, maybe it couldn’t have turned out any other way? Still Available: Songs over Ruins CD Deadbeat CD Strife CD Seven Sorrows digiCD

AUTOPSIA – Karl Rossmann Fragments [limited] digiCD ill.technologies out 22-6 (it0011/EAN 5263092475025) Coming in spage 4-pages gatefold-cover, sized 180x180mm, b/w offset on glossy 300gr paper. Limited edition of 500 handnumbered CDs! Rossmann is best known as a composer and pioneer of electronic avantgarde music. But his artistic output was not only music, of course, and his output in any case was not particularly large. There are about 30 works in all and there are occasional gaps of up to three years between one piece and the next. The bulk of his music was written between the two world wars - it was in 1918 that he inherited the title - though his earliest successful pieces were written before that, and accepted for publication, while he was a diplomatic attaché at the Cehoslovakia Embassy in Warszawa. Although his output was limited, it shows that he was one of the few truly original Czech composers of the last century. On this album Autopsia are peforming a series of his fragments and paying him tribute. True Avantgarde and minimal electronic music back to his origins. A step back into Electronic and a step forward into Industrial.

DEPECHE MODE – Peace / released in 3 different versions Depeche Mode follow the release of their Sounds Of The Universe album with a new single, featuring the – in my very private opinion - ONLY decent song of the album ‚Peace’, on June 15th. Formats include a host of Peace remixes from Hervé, Sander Van Doorn, Japanese Popstars, Sid LeRock, Justus Köhncke and SixToes (annoyingly once again ’artists’ that have nothing in common with the musical history Depeche Mode come from…). A special remark again deserves the 7“, which includes an exclusive b-side remix just as the previous ‚Wrong’ 7“! A 12“ should follow later on DEPECHE MODE – Peace ltd.7” mute out 15-6 (bong41/EAN 5099996507971) Limited and numbered 7“ single in Marbled, white vinyl, featuring the exclusive remix of album track ‚Come Back’ by Jón Þór Birgisson of Sigur Rós.

NEON – Rituals [Expanded Edition] digiCD spittle out 9-6 (spittle15/EAN 8033706210154) NEON are undoubtedly one of the most influential and enduring bands of the Italian New Wave. From the beginning, the band’s music was perfectly aligned with continental trends—integrating the attitude of early post-punk with certain types of electronic music that had timidly begun popping up on the club circuit, and an aesthetic that was a cross between late romanticism and decadentism. After a string of 12”s (five altogether) and a 7”, the band finally released their first LP, Rituals in 1985 for KinderGarten (also known for Pankow’s first 12”). This crucial album, which unquestionably represented the band’s creative peak, has now been re-released by Spittle not merely for the sake of the album itself, but also as part of a wider campaign to document the Italian New Wave scene. The 8 tracks that make up this digitally remastered reissue (with 3 extra 12” versions) represent one of the most original possible journeys into the Italian underground. Obsessively rhythmic, like a pagan ritual, with the vagueness and asperity of primordial rock and roll and an inkling of late seventies / early eighties electronica! Tracks: 01 Runnin’ 02 Last chance 03 Isolation 04 The same ritual 05 Dark age 06 Harry 07 Burning of the midnight lamp 08 My blues is You 09 Last chance (12” version) 10 Dark Age (12” version) 11 My blues is You (12” version)
NEON – Memories [Second coming] digiCD intuition out 27-7 (int28004/EAN 616948900229) We listed the first version of this amazing ‘Best of’ in October 2008, but the first run was sold out immediately. We are now happy, to present the second edition of this majestic piece! True cult of new wave / gothic scene of 80s! What makes this edition is something special? Firstly it is a totally remastered version! Secondly the tracklist is correct (finally!). There was a mistake on the first edition: the track "Spiders" was replaced with a remix of "Drivin'" (Tape of Darkness version). The original mistake was on the Tapes Of Darkness 12" (1982), then the same mistake was on Boxed 7xCD set (2005), then it was on the first edition of ‘Memories’ – just like a curse lasting from 1982 till 2008! It was about time, to get the things RIGHT! And…Last but not least it comes in luxurious digipak with totally new artwork! Tracks: 01 Isolation 02 Information of Death 03 Runnin' 04 Boxes 05 Last Chance 06 My Blues is You 07 Drivin' 08 Dark Age 09 Spiders 10 Red Light 11 The same Ritual 12 Harry 13 Lobotomy Still Available: Oscillator digiCD

ROTERSAND – War On Error [Limited] digiMCD out 28-8 (TRI371/EAN 4260063943713) EXPORT BANNED: North America ROTERSAND take up the fight against conformity and standardisation. The influence of media and marketing strategies increasingly undermines the significance of individuality. In order to extend and facilitate access to our personal data and consumer profiles, the system has declared war on error; a war against the unpredictable, the imponderable, the ‘error’ in everyone of us. ROTERSAND propagate to intentionally cause flaws in that system as a means of civil disobedience. ROTERSAND oppose the system with a clear message: “It’s my life, it’s my mind, it‘s my heart – I’m not a digit” (from ‘War on Error’, from the forthcoming album ‘Random is Resistance’, Trisol 2009). To prevent us from eventually becoming mere cogs in a perfectly synchronized data exploitation system, ROTERSAND call upon us to “Be less transparent, be less predictable, be an ‘error’ in this ever-refining matrix of the commerce machinery!” ‘War on Error’ contains seven (!) exclusive mixes and one track not available anywhere else (‘Dirty’). This supercharged E.P. will take the electro dancefloors by storm and also recruit an army of new fans. Once again ROTERSAND prove that not only their sales figures rank at the top of the international electro scene. Their massive tracks set the clubs ablaze and their intelligently produced songs captivate live audiences the world over. ROTERSAND will be going on tour with VNV NATION in autumn 2009. This mini-album comes in a precious digipak and presents the lyrics in an atmospheric booklet which visualizes the topics. It is designed by Ingo Römling, whose artwork has already graced the most recent releases of ASP, L’AME IMMORTELLE and IN STRICT CONFIDENCE. Stricty limited to 2.000 copies. Order fast!

CLAN OF XYMOX – In Love We Trust digiCD out 28-8 (TRI366/EAN 4260063943669) EXPORT BANNED: North America CLAN OF XYMOX already proved with the taster single ‘Emily’ that after almost 25 years (!) of the band’s history, their creative potential is a long way from being exhausted. Now it’s finally here! The long-awaited, brilliant new full-length album from the living legends. Elegiacally beautiful, melancholically powerful, emotionally stirring. Shimmering goth rock guitars meet modern electronic sounds; pulsating walls of sound meet no-nonsense rhythms with everything crowned with dark vocals which are variously heart-rending, full of hymnal yearning and powerful. Classic darkwave of the olden days combines with the electronically-orientated modern era to form a fascinating, unique creation which combines masterly, mighty rock songs and sensitive ballads. So CLAN OF XYMOX make the perfect transition from their beginnings as one of the most important bands on the legendary 4AD label through to the modern age of the 21st century. ‘In Love We Trust’ forms the perfect high point to a line which once began with ‘Clan of Xymox’ and which was developed further with ‘Medusa’. ‘In Love We Trust’ will come to be mentioned in the same breath as albums such as ‘Disintegration’ from THE CURE and ‘Victorialand’ from the COCTEAU TWINS. The first edition of ‘In Love We Trust’ is released as a lavish 6-panelled digipak with an extensive booklet which perfectly sets the visual scene for the story and which can be described without over-exaggeration as a work of art. A collectors’ piece which no fan of CLAN OF XYMOX should be without! Tracks: 01 Emily 02 Hail Mary 03 Desdemona 04 Judas 05 In Love We Trust 06 Sea Of Doubt 07 Morning Glow 08 Home Sweet Home 09 Love Got Lost 10 On A Mission

La band si autodefinisce Medieval Trip Pop, aggettivi che sembrano essere in effetti particolarmente appropriati. Songs di fattura gothic/ethereal (con bella voce femminile) trovano una nuova attraente dimensione grazie ad innesti di soffusa elettronica (PORTISHEAD) unita ad un uso originale di strumenti classici che danno vita a momenti etereo-folkeggianti

 

 

PERFIDIOUS WORDS – Feel Like Me CD+DVD out 28-8 (TRI344/EAN 4260063943447) A cult band who almost slipped into oblivion return with a magnificent new album. PERFIDIOUS WORDS present what is only their third studio album in ten years, but some things need time in order to become fully realised. ‘Feel Like Me’ is not only fully realised: it’s perfect! An accomplished electro pop album which will satisfy the longing of many fans. Whereas some bands have spent years indulging in wild experiments or creating generic chart-friendly mush, PERFIDIOUS WORDS create music which is a perfect mixture of the danceable, sensitive and catchy, without spilling over into the realms of triviality. Warm, dark vocals combine with insanely catchy synth sounds to form a fervent album of electronic music. Full of spirit, full of sounds; exactly that which every electro pop fan has waited in vain for years for. Here it is! The ultimate work, which shows that after over 20 years, this genre is a long way from coming to an end. Those who liked the early works of YAZOO or ERASURE shouldn’t pass this electro pop-pearl by. These aren’t the ‘sounds of the universe’, simply single stars in the dark sky of electronic music, which shine all the brighter for it! In addition to the CD, the album comes with an 80-minute DVD, which proves beyond doubt that PERFIDIOUS WORDS are exceptional musicians who understand their craft. With this concert recording, some studio sessions and a video clip, people will be asking themselves in astonishment where this band was during those last few years in which we mourned the old gods, who with their most recent releases only disappointed.

BLACK HEAVEN – History digi2CD out 28-8 (TRI353/EAN 4260063943539) BLACK HEAVEN is the side project from Mantus, and for the first time they present an extensive history on double CD, which shouldn’t be regarded as a ‘best of’ in the accepted sense. A retrospective which makes clear that BLACK HEAVEN have until now been unfairly underestimated. BLACK HEAVEN is the other side of the coin. It is not the opposite of MANTUS, but neither is it a sphere in which the musicians ‘just want to mess about’, as is so often the case with side projects. With its lyrical depth, BLACK HEAVEN is also certainly beyond all cliches; from pure dark poetry to the contrasting voices of Martin Schindler and Thalia. In contrast to the main project of the two protagonists, BLACK HEAVEN is more electronically- orientated and dispenses with the rock guitars and bombastic classical arrangements without losing itself in EBM stamping or standard futurepop pap. BLACK HEAVEN is the convincing attempt to drag intelligent, poetic lyrics out of the self-absorption of the lonely bedroom and onto the dancefloors of the clubs. The perfect mixture of rhythm, delicate sequences, danceable sounds and the lyricism which we already know from MANTUS. Dark vignettes which on the one hand, due to the unusual rhythms have a certain light-heartedness, but which on the other hand become emphasised due to the reduction in the musical elements. No MANTUS fan should ignore this ‘history’, for BLACK HEAVEN have musical and lyrical surprises up their sleeves which simply have to be experienced. This retrospective provides the opportunity to do so. Tracks CD1: 01 The Smell Of Suicide 02 End Of The World (alternative version) 03 Trugbild 04 Aus Gold 05 Violent Acts Of Hate 06 Sehnsucht (Black Heaven feat. Mantus) 07 Agony 08 Jemand 09 Natur Und Kunst 10 Schmerz (alternative version) 11 Von Hier Zu Den Sternen 12 Drown In My Dreams 13 Tansania 14 Ohne Zeit 15 Glut Und Asche 16 Lebendig Begraben CD2: 01 The Beginning 02 Regentanz 03 Kein Ton (2007) 04 Silence 05 Sakrileg 06 Babylon (Ratzinger rmx) 07 Engel Weinen Heimlich (opposite sex) 08 Necromancer 09 Eclipse 10 Horizont 11 Gebete An Gott (dust and ashes) 12 Thanatos (2009) 13 Seraphim (2009) 14 I Hate This World (2009)

WOLFENMOND – Neumond CD out 28-8 (TRI352/EAN 4260063943522) With each new creation there is that magical point where the first pen-stroke is pulled across the parchment, the first drops moisten the mortar and the clocks are turned back. Each cycle of the moon also firstly begins with darkness: the new moon (in German, der Neumond). With their new work, the musicians from WOLFENMOND conclude all of the phases of the moon that we have experienced with them over the last ten years. The mixture of electronic sounds and historical instruments represents a new beginning with which WOLFENMOND inaugurate a new cycle. The listener will be transfixed by the five titles appearing here in a new guise. The title track ‘Neumond’ comes across with the usual expressive lyrics and sounds of the shawm (a predecessor of the oboe) but also with electronic sounds, and spectacularly demonstrates the new paths which WOLFENMOND propose to follow. But the musicians from WOLFENMOND don’t go along these paths alone. Artists such as Ingo Hampf from SUBWAY TO SALLY, Nicholas Albanis from DANDELION WINE (from Australia) and Matthias Ambré from ASP as well as further high-calibre artists have picked up their idea and have combined WOLFENMOND pieces with electronic sounds. 14 musical creations make ‘Neumond’ a total work of art of new energy and WOLFENMOND. Tracks: 01 Dunkelheit 02 Neumond 03 Feuerbrunst 04 In Flammen 05 Hel 06 Wolfszeit (Ingo Hampf/SUBWAY TO SALLY rmx) 07 Supernova 1006 (ASP rmx) 08 Wilde Rose (SECTOR ALPHA rmx) 09 Hel (SECTOR ALPHA rmx) 10 Sandkasten (SPIELKIND rmx) 11 Odádahraun (DREAM 17 rmx) 12 Katlaterra (CADATERRA rmx) 13 Tripping Elves (DANDELION WINE rmx) 14 Ymir (FILIPE CRUZ rmx)

CHAMBER – Dix Ans CD out 28-8 (TRI364/EAN 4260063943645) With 18 fine pearls on this CD, the black chamber orchestra of mastermind Max Testory finally presents a definitive overview of 10 years’ work. ‘Dix Ans’ impressively demonstrates the special position in the gothic scene that Chamber have earned in such a short time. So here it is: their ultimate showcase of work, which illuminates every important phase of the chamber orchestra; sometimes in alternative, new versions. From the early beginnings of the first demo ‘Pleasure & Pain’, when Max Testory was still a ‘choirboy’ with ASP, via the milestone ‘Ghost Stories & Fairy-Tales’, for which Asp wrote several of the songs and on which the musicians of the band ASP worked on, right up to the wistful pop songs of later albums. The collaboration between CHAMBER and the futurepop legends VNV NATION also finally appears for the first time on this CD. Held together by the fascinating, gloomy voice of Max Testory, each song on this CD impressively charts the path of one of the gothic scene’s most exceptional bands, who with their mixture of melancholy heaviness, passionate chansons, energy-laden Irish folk songs and heart-rending acoustic folk are able to equally delight fans of ASP, NICK CAVE or the SWANS. Tracks: 01 Toscana 02 Another Conversation (2006 stripped bare version) 03 Strange Kind Of Love (2006 Quadro Nero version) 04 Ceremony After A Fire-Raid 05 A Dead Man’s Song 06 A Tale Of Real Love 07 In My Garden 08 The Truth About Snow-White 09 Hometown 10 Miles Away (album version) 11 Desire+Ruin 12 I Hate Falling In Love 13 Silence (2006 OIAL live version) 14 Insane 15 Elven King’s Walz 16 Chamber vs. VNV Nation: Homeward 17 Chamber vs. Kasper-Hauser-Komplex: Deeper Sense 18 1998 very first demo: Pleasure+Pain

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "Scribings of a Forgotten Soul" to be Released July 21st --- American gothic/doom metallers URN have completed work on their third album, titled "Scribings of a Forgotten Soul", for a July 21st, 2009 release via Rotting Corpse Records, the band’s second release with the label. The cover and all artwork were created by Corvis Nocturnum also who runs The Ninth Gate magazine and the layout was done by Connie Bergmann of DarkWind Studios. "Scribings of a Forgotten Soul" was mixed and mastered by Dan Precision at Bombshelter Studios (Rise Against, Naked Raygun) in Chicago, IL whom they also collaborated with on their successful and critically-acclaimed 2006 release “Dancing with the Demigods”. Rev. Thomas Thorn of The Electric Hellfire Club also appears as guest vocal for the upcoming album on the song "Hero Worship". URN frontman Dominic St. Charles had played guitar and did backing vocals with the Electric Hellfire Club back in late 1999 to 2000 around the "Witness of the Millennium" album and its subsequent touring and the two have remained very close over the years. Jape Peratalo, formerly of Finland’s melancholy rock outfit, To/Die/For was also scheduled to do a guest vocal appearance, but with To/Die/For’s recent disbanding, schedules didn’t coincide and both sides have mutually agreed to re-schedule for him to appear on a future URN release. The track listing for the CD is as follows: 1. Absolution 2. Voices of Reason 3. Ambivalence 4. Hero Worship 5. Reckoning Hour 6. In My Mind’s Eye 7. Dancing on the Day of the Dead 8. Confessional 9. No Man’s Land 10. Repentance 11. Final Kiss Goodnight 12. Solemn in a Prostrate Pose St. Charles gave insight on the band’s new album which will be a concept album based on a true story of several individuals that were in his life that were directly involved in a prison riot at state correctional facility in a nearby town from where he attended high school. “Think of it as a “Law & Order” approach to the story we are telling here. Of course, all of the characters are completely fictitious and do not represent any person living or dead. It was a major event that shook my community at the time and my best friend’s father was the night shift supervisor. So a couple of months before it happened he took a group of me and my friends on tour of the prison at 2:30 a.m. (we thought it would be interesting to do). The experience of seeing all that was going on from the inside from many perspectives, the prisoners, the guards, etc., ended up being highly enlightening for me. So when the riot broke out it was hitting very close to home and I had been doing a good bit of writing at the time and decided to chronicle these events. So in essence, that is what this album is about a fictional depiction of this event. We are very excited for the release this album as it has been a work in progress for many years now and we thank Rotting Corpse Records for their continued dedication behind us." URN recently returned from being a direct support act for Tarja (Turunen formerly of Nightwish) along with their goo d friends The Eternal from Australia for her North America leg of her “Storm Returns to America” tour. ###

Vladimir Hirsch : Contemplatio Per Nexus CD Ars Benevola Mater is glad to present : Vladimir Hirsch : Les Scènes Ardentes, op.75 (ABM32) may/2009 - CD LTD. 435 NUMBERED COPIES IN DELUXE PACKAGE. Compositions for integrated ensemble, choir and sola, op. 75. A collection of scenic works, adapted as conceptual album, originally composed or arranged for theatre performances in the period between 1994 and 2003. Rewritten, restructuralized, rearranged and remixed in 2006. The album represents author´s typical consistent, achingly nervous harmonic structures with rich inner life and articulation, corresponding with mighty, monolitic sounds of orchestration in original integrated arrangement, ending in the creation of the order of primarily chaotic particulars. Restructuralized, re-arranged and remixed in 2006. Musicians: Vladimír Hirsch - keyboards, synthesizers, samplers, drums, vocals, programming; participation of Martina Sanollová and Dominika Karcovská (vocals) and Czech Integrated Ensemble and Choir. Mastered by Vojtech Hanka. Produced by Tom Saivon. Vladimir Hirsch : Contemplatio Per Nexus, op.77 (ABM33) may/2009 - CD LTD. 435 NUMBERED COPIES IN DELUXE PACKAGE. Contemplatio per nexus, op. 77, for integrated techniques is an extent work (79 min.) on philosophical-teological theme, based on the writing "Teologia spiritualis mystica", dealing with the process of transformation of human mind during mystical contemplation. The composition describes relatively exactly all phases of it, beeing divided into two seemingly thematically antagonistic parts (complementary-affirmatory) that are but indiscerptible compounds of natural contemplative process. Particular periods are represented by subsections continuously merged one another. The album is an intense musical dialogue between space and detail, a kind of transcription of the relation between human and cosmos, the fight and reconcilliation of intrinsic and extrinsic, real and surreal world. Polymodal architecture of compositions, their sound characteristics, oscillating from perceptional - not voluminal - levels on the border of subconsciousness (Oratio quietis / A Quiet Prayer) over X-ray radiation from obscurity (Obscuritas) to excruciating strenght (Tortio Sensuum / Senses Torture) and cohesion of integrated techniques of instrumentation make from this album one of the author's major works. Reception of this opus, expressed with very high autenticity and exposed emotions, needs absolute concetration and submersion of receiving subject, invoking really the state similar to mystical contemplation. Ars Benevola Mater ABM is an indipendent musical label, born in 1999 in order to release and promote the music of the artists I love the most, both as musicians and people. ABM was mainly born in order to satisfy my own personal need to listen to the music I like and to admire artistic packagings carefully created. ABM is a faithful friend in this life full of problems, a warm motherly hand which comforts me in the most difficult moments. The main feature of ABM is freedom. ABM is a cradle for different cultures and it's absolutely NOT belonging to the usual ambient-industrial clichés. Most of my releases come from East-Europe: I think it's right to promote its scene, not very well known, but whose music is simply great!

PREcordings / Post Romantic Empire announces: PRE012 “The Matter of Britain” [book + cd] by Matt Howden & Keith Howden. “The Matter of Britain” is the first book by the Post Romantic Empire project, and probably the last cd. PREcordings is a concept label connected to P.R.E.; its first production was the “Writ in Water” ep by Matt Howden and Tony Wakeford, and this last effort is a fine art book/cd by father and son Keith and Matt Howden. The subject in a way is always the same: the heritage of Romanticism in the contemporary. “The Matter of Britain” is the most hypnotic yet charming album we have ever worked on, and the poetry that generates it is the most complex writing I’ve ever read. The process that gave birth to our last release took more than eight months, and after all this time I’m still reading and listening to it kust like the first time. Pure dream english poetry. Precordings is available on: http://www.finalmuzik.com/ http://www.myspace.com/mannequinmailorder “The Matter of Britain” is also available on: www.myspace.com/matthowden7 www.matthowden.com http://www.lastfm.it/music/Matt+Howden news on: www.postromantic.com

 

DIE FORM - Noir Magnétique CD First edition coming in jewel-box, inside a cardboard-sleeve (O-Card). One of the most prolific and unique musical projects in the electronic music scene returns with a long-awaited new long-playing album that marks one of the strongest works Die Form has ever created. Elaborately combining mesmerizing and disturbing photo art, experimental sound scapes, classical influences, heavenly voices and a rather healthy dose of relentless club sounds, Philippe Fichot and Éliane P. weave a sonic web on “Noir Magnétique” that is nothing short of enthralling. It is seldom that music works in both a club context and as a work of art. Die Form have achieved just that… while “Noir Magnétique” is one of the group’s most accessible and dance floor compatible releases, ever, easily matching their most successful club hits, it still sports an absolutely unique sound and artistic vision. The album expertly continues the path Die Form took with last year’s smashing single “Her(t)z Frequenz” (which is also featured on the album in a dazzling new mix) with strong beats, enticing melodies, cold sounds and a constant tug-o-war between harsh emotional coolness and pure, innocent beauty. “Noir Magnétique” is not only driving Die Form’s unique sound to perfection – it is also an instant classic that shows the French Art Electro project at its very best. Electronic Club Sounds as an art form! “Noir Magnétique” will be released as a regular CD version in Jewel box+cardboard-sleeve and as limited BOX-set (see below). Tracks: 01 Voltaic Control System 02 Decadence 03 Deep Zone 04 Nocturnal Emotions 05 Tristesse 06 Waves of Dream 07 Autonomic 08 Inferno 09 Her(t)z Frequenz 10 Double Life 11 Vox Angelica
DIE FORM - Noir Magnétique [Limited Edition] CD+7”-BOX o Absolutely lavish collector’s set/deluxe-box, strictly limited to 999 copies, containing the album plus the special exclusive 7” single “Kobol” and a deluxe large-size booklet with the album photo art in an elaborate 7”-sized box.

THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE
Show and Tell CD This release is EXPORT BANNED for Nothern America! As pre-announced in our Newsletter 578, May 4 sees the release of much more than ‘just’ a live-album, but a sort of ‘Best of’ as well! A captivating hybrid of 80's electronica and aggressive guitars, curiously fused with a cinematic quality of melodic progressions, The Birthday Massacre's soundscapes have encapsulated a diverse and devout fan base. They have come along way since their inception in 2000. The Toronto based outfit continues to garner new fans worldwide not only in the industrial and electronic scenes, but the rock community as well. In July of 2002, they self released the limited edition CD Nothing and Nowhere and added a new drummer, Rhim. Two years later, they followed up with the EP, Violet. 2005 became a big year for The Birthday Massacre. Not only did they add O-En on keyboards, but were signed in Europe by RepoRecords and in North America by Metropolis Records. Both labels re-released Violet as a full length album with four extra tracks. A video for their song "Blue" was also launched later that year, which is produced by NYC artist and director Daniel Ouellette. Since the release of ‘Walking With Strangers’, in September of 2007, The Birthday Massacre have been touring constantly in Europe and North America. While they were touring Germany shortly after it’s release, they played a gig at Knust (a club in Hamburg Germany that holds about 500 people). It just so happened that we gave permission for Crazy Clip, (a local video producer) to record and film the performance. Originally there were only supposed to be 2 or 3 clips aired locally. The project lay dormant for the next 18 months while the band continued touring and then began work on their follow up to Walking With Strangers which is scheduled for release this coming fall. Beginning in December of last year Rainbow and Falcore started going through the video and audio recordings from that Hamburg show and decided that although it wasn't planned for a "live" record, there was an intimate, small-club feel to the whole project that they liked. And so, they set about editing and mixing the tracks to form the CD, ‘Show and Tell', which will be released May 6th. No bells and whistles, no shimmering sleights of hand or studio tricks; just a hard working band on the stage of a small club doing what they do best. This is not a polished record and that is a good thing. For all of those fans who have had to suffer through the phone recordings of some of their favorite songs, this recording will deliver all of the excitement along with the fidelity! The DVD of this concert will follow in a few months. The editing of the video and the 5.1 mix are going to make that project more time consuming undertaking. Drawn from their extensive repertoire, each song is intensified by the bands raw and energetic live performance. This collection will add another dimension to their already sizeable reputation. In addition to being essential listening for current fans of the band, this album is also a great introduction to the music of ‘The Birthday Massacre’ for those who have yet to check them out. Tracks: 01 Before Dark (intro) 02 Video Kid 03 Lovers End 04 Goodnight 05 Falling down 06 Violet 07 Red Stars 08 Looking Glass 09 Remember Me 10 Unfamiliar 11 Walking with Strangers 12 Weekend 13 Horror Show 14 Kill The Lights 15 Blue 16 Happy Birthday

VIOLET STIGMATA – Twilight of the Fortune Tree digiCD violet house Coming in 8-panel digipak. The undisputed No.1 French Dark/Death Rock formation VIOLET STIGMATA returns with an all new album, following their successful 3 previous albums on Manic Depression and Pandaimonium! Strongly influenced by old goth/barcafe acts such as Christian Death or Neva, their music also takes elements from the dark industrial scene. The band evolved since their beginnings in 2001 to create its very own, unique mixture of both styles, combining chorus distorted guitars, cold wave keyboards and haunting vocals. While the first 2 albums were gathering some demo songs or re-recorded early material, it was with ‘Dyskronik Circus’ (2005) on Pandaimonium, that the project found it’s international breakthrough. A drummer replaced the drum machine, giving the album a new sensibility, while also the electronics were diminuished but the overall sound kept that specific darkwave feeling. – On the all new album, the evolution goes on with a true musical melting-pot, including psychedelic elements, heavier guitars but remaining for sure the band’s most unusual piece: even more rock and cold, it stands again for a new face of the band… Listen and enjoy! ‘Violet Stigmata from Paris have become THE French goth/barcave reference, with a touch of EBM…” (D-Side) ‘…with Twiligh of the Fortune Tree’ , the band gives an energic, mature and homogenic album morevoer being much more elecdtric and organic than in the past…” (Elegy) Tracks: 01 Let it go 02 I, stranger 03 Days of decline 04 Brainshock 05 Next step of collective doubt 06 Un loup pour l'homme 07 Pillows 08 Nails noise nightmare 09 Exit life 10 The flame I hold 11 Obscurity oscillator

MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT - DEATH THREAT CD – RUSTBLADE - RBL23 OUT ON END OF JUNE The legendary industrial dance pioneers from Chicago's Wax-Trax era are back with the brand new album, "Death Threat". TKK continues to challenge today's alternative music scenes, pushing it's boundaries with their unique style and rebellious attitude. Each album is different from the last, a trip in a new direction as the band likes to "stir it up", always creating a potent sex-and-drugs laden cocktail of what can best be described as an industrial-disco-punk-glam-sleaze-rock extravaganza. Having been credited with influencing a wide spectrum of today's contemporary artists everywhere from Marilyn Manson to the Scissor Sisters, they succeeded in creating the quintessential modern dance sound, frenetic and wild. Accompanied by the Bomb Gang Girlz, the Kult's very own chorus of sultry seductresses and go-go dancers, they create a world inspired by tabloid headlines, B-movie ethos, and sexually ambiguous decadence. Death Threat marks a return to the heavy and dark sound of Kult's earlier years, calling to mind the classic albums Confessions of a Knife and 13 Above the Night, along with their modernized dance sensibilities. A release absolutely not to be missed, and one of this years most anticipated albums. LIMITED BOX (only 299 COPIES) Contains : CD, POSTCARD, STICKER, MINI 3" CD, SKULL PENDENT

IANVA – Italia: Ultimo Atto digibookCD out 28-5 First limited edition coming in a deluxe digibook and 28 pages booklet!!! File under: Folk Noir, Italian Cabaret Melodrama Here at last "Italia: Ultimo Atto", IANVA's fourth release and eagerly awaited second full length album. This brand new effort magnificently reaches the monumental through almost 70 enthralling minutes dragging the audience into a new dramatic journey. For this occasion a very special play is going to be staged, featuring as a main character a whole nation: Italy. The darkest, gloomiest, most troubled and controversial chapters of the last 60 years of Italian history as seen through the eyes of those who are on the side of the Eternally Defeated: the humble, the idealist, the honest men. The moral and spiritual dissolution of a nation is narrated with the appeal and the accents typical of Neorealism and more than just a reference to some of the greatest and most influential Dissidents of that time: from Pasolini to Curzio Malaparte, from Pietro Germi to Giorgio Gaber, and the bittersweet touch of Pure Popular Music of past decades (Dalida, Battisti, Morricone). 13 tracks engraved in IANVA's usual flamboyant background, here, probably, at its most powerful and lyrical height! IANVA: Mercy - vocals, concept, lyrics/music Stefania T. D'Alterio - vocals, lyrics Fabio Carfagna - electric & acoustic guitars, music Francesco La Rosa - drums, percussions, programming Fabio Gremo - double bass, acoustic & classic guitars, music Azoth - electric bass Giuseppe Spanò - piano, keyboards Davide La Rosa - accordion Roby Nappi Calcagno – trumpet

DIE WEISSE ROSE – A Martyrium of White Roses digiCD It might seem strange that a band without a single release to its name has played concerts and festivals all over Europe. But anyone who has ever experienced Die Weisse Rose on stage knows why. More than concerts, Die Weisse Rose’s performances are elaborate rituals, caleidoscopic (or even psychedelic) experiences. Elements such as uniforms, burning torches, snippets of old schlägers, segments from documentary films and philosophical proclamations are wowen together by orgies of live drums and electronic sounds. Die Weisse Rose strives towards what Wagner called ”Gesamtkunstwerke” – total works of art. When most other bands talk about Gesamtkunstwerke, it sounds pretentious. When Die Weisse Rose do it, it makes sense. Die Weisse Rose also like to think of their songs as “audiodocumentaries”. Again, such a seemingly pretentious term makes sense, as Die Weisse Rose’s art is just as indebted to the History Channel as to Throbbing Gristle. To bolster Die Weisse Rose’s lineup (which really consists only of the band’s mastermind, Thomas Bøjden) over the years the unit has recruited collaborators to its ranks that makes DWR smack of an Industrial supergroup. From Marco Deplano (Foresta di Ferro), Gerhard (Allerseelen), Kim Larsen (Of the Wand and the Moon) to name but a few. In return, Thomas Bøjden has returned the favour and played with a who’s who of of the Industrial and Neofolk underground, from well-established outfits like Rome, Blood Axis and Foresta Di Ferro to up-and-coming Austrian neofolk band Klammheim. Now, Die Weisse Rose are for the first time available on record. If you fear that we have another ”martial” clone band on our hands, prepare to be pleasantly surprised. The music is painstakingly crafted and orchestrated to perfection to include electronic elements, field recordings and real instruments, and its creative merits really stand out in an underground culture where bands of far lesser talents than Die Weisse Rose would release three albums in the time Die Weisse Rose have patiently worked on theirs. True to Cold Meat Industry’s renowned production values, the album will be released both as deluxe, debossed digipak CD with 24 pages booklet and as superlimited gatefold vinyl. Let one thousand white roses bloom, as Die Weisse Rose unleashes "A Martyrium Of White Roses". Tracks: 01 A Martyrium Of White Roses 02 Im Nebel 03 The Solitary Volcano 04 Letzter Wille 05 Unser Leben Geht Dahin Wie Ein Geschwätz 06 At The Doorsteps Of Our Temple 07 Nicht Schuldig 08 As The Last Of The Petals Are Shattered DIE WEISSE ROSE – A Martyrium of White Roses ltd.LP

ANIMAL FARM PROJECT COMPLICATED LINES
L'album di debutto su Black Fading Records, in CD e digitale. Gli Animal Farm Project sono una band che riesce a scuotere le certezze dell'ascoltatore. Difficile catalogare la loro musica, ed in "Complicated Lines" emerge fin da subito una forte volontà di contaminazione, tra generi apparentementedistanti. Il disco si apre con "Animal Farm Song", traccia divisa in due parti, che rappresenta una sorta di manifesto di questa band. All'interno del brano, parti recitate, momenti più intimistici, aperture pop ed energia rock e momenti psichedelici, su cui risalta l'ottima voce di Stefania Centonze, già con le Mumble Rumble. New Wave e post-punk rappresentano un'altra grande influenza della band, evidente in brani come "I Take My Time" o "Look At Yourself" così come il funk, che emerge soprattutto dal punto di vista ritmico. "Complicated Lines" è quindi un album eclettico e la grande abilità della band in fase di arrangiamento e scrittura risiede proprio nell'integrare tutti questi elementi all'interno dei brani, dando così un senso di continuità e creando così un proprio stile e marchio di fabbrica assolutamente riconoscibile. La filosofia dei sei elementi della band è quella di contribuire ognuno con il proprio background musicale ed il proprio stile al risultato finale delle canzoni. L'album è stato registrato con la produzione di Cristiano Santini, ex cantante dei Disciplinatha, presso il Morphing Studio di Bologna. L'album è pubblicato da Black Fading Records, ed. musicali New Model Label. LINE UP Stefania Centonze - voce Francesco Giorgiani - chitarra Adriano Primaverile - basso Fabio D'Aniello - chitarra Ivan Gagliano - tastiere Daniele Gironi - batteria LINK: www.myspace.com/animalfarmproject2 www.blackfading.com www.newmodellabel.com

 

LUNACY BOX
"Lunacy Box" - DEBUT ALBUM – , in CD e nei migliori store digitali – da NEW MODEL LABEL/ BLACK FADING RECORDS I Lunacy Box sono una band di 4 elementi provenienti dai bassifondi di quell'Emilia un tempo rossa e grassa ed oggigiorno sempre più paranoica, guidati dalla voce sensuale ed aggressiva di Ms Larsen cantante di carattere dal tumultuoso Dna nonché apprezzata street photographer con la passione per temi sociali e controversi. Nutriti fin da tenera età da metallo pesante e inquietanti presenze sonore quali Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division e Nine Inch Nails, ora i Lunacy Box escono dalle tenebre per rivelarci in modo incisivo e raffinato la faccia più gotica del pop. "Lunacy Box" contiene 9 tracce inedite e tra queste quattro brani killer come “Save”, "Wrong Lane", "Hey Man Nice Shot" cover dei Filter riarrangiata con stile e "More Than I Do" che rivela il lato più violento della band. "Hide" è invece una ballad semi acustica che enfatizza il lato più romantico e decadente. L'album è prodotto ed arrangiato da Cristiano Santini, ex voce dei Disciplinatha la più provocatoria e controversa band della musica italiana di tutti i tempi, ora chitarrista di tutto rispetto dei Lunacy Box. LUNACY BOX are: Ms Larsen (vox), Andrea Bastoni (bass), Cristiano Santini (gtr), Davide Furlani (drums) TRACKLIST: 1. Wrong Lane/ 2. Save / 3. Love To Hate Me / 4. Broken Dreams / 5. Nice Shot Prelude / 6. Hey Man Nice Shot / 7. No Turning Back / 8. I Think I'm Done / 9. Hide / 10.

RUMMER AND GRAPES FIRMANO CON NEW MODEL LABEL
Un nuova band entra a fare parte del roster discografico ed editoriale di New Model Label. I Rummer And Grapes provengono da Terni e sono un gruppo di recentissima formazione, ma nonostante questo, dotati di una notevole maturità artistica. In poco più di sei mesi dalla nascita la band ha registrato "Every Damned Friday", album di debutto che ha già riscosso notevoli consensi nell'underground. Il suono dei Rummer And Grapes fonde influenze british, tra Interpol e Franz Ferdinand, rielaborandole però con una grande vena melodica, come mostra un brano come "Short Drink", primo singolo lanciato dall'album. La voce di Simona Cioccoloni è sicuramente uno dei punti di forza della band, ricca di espressività e sempre a proprio agio, sia in momenti più aggressivi sia in momenti più romantici. Tra questi merita una segnalazione anche l'unica cover presente nell'album, una versione di "Wild World" di Cat Stevens con un arrangiamento assolutamente originale e travolgente. "Every Danmed Friday" uscrià nell'autunno 2009 su New Model Label, in cd e digitale. Rummer And Grapes are: Simona Cioccoloni -vocals, Valerio Conti - guitar, Gabriele Raggi - Bass, Luca Ferrotti - Drums Link: www.myspace.com/rummergrapes New Model Label di Govind Khurana, Via Buonporto 11, 44100 - Ferrara Mob: +39. 348.8836595 skype: govindkhurana www.newmodellabel.com www.myspace.com/newmodellabel http://nmlrecords.wordpress.com

- Tolerance digiCD autarkeia out 29-6 This absolut genius of an album is one more golden deja vu of the industrial culture, released by Staalplaat label long ago, sold out and desperately sought and hunted in auctions by collectors. This much demanded re-release of this cult album benefits from a much improved sound and a new package design from the author Lina Baby Doll. Those who do not know Lina Baby Doll’s masterpieces, should be informed that Tolerance is an artefact of the early stage of Deutsch Nepal’s music. The period is characterised by ritual tribal rhythms, mesmerising loops and indeed suggestive psychedelic atmosphere. Essential! Coming as ‚golden’ CD. Tracks: 01 Horses give birth to flies 02 Tolerance I 03 Manual to utilization 04 Tolerance II 05 The eagles gift 06 Tolerance III 07 Nonexistance 08 Tolerance IV 09 Chip chop 10 End of Tolerance 11 Deathmanners
DEUTSCH NEPAL - Erosion digiCD autarkeia out 29-6 (acd35/EAN 8016670289043) This is probably the most depressing Deutsch Nepal album, originally released as a very limited edition by Staalplaat. Lina Baby Doll claimed that during the recording of ‚Erosion’ there persisted the feeling that this would be the last work of Deutsch Nepal after which nothing will remain... perhaps only death. This almost came true as Deutsch Nepal went silent after the recording for nearly 10 years. Now the masterpiece of melancholy clad in an elegant digipac (designed by the author himself) and with a much improved sound quality. Tracks: 01 Erosion 02 Surgery II 03 Collapsing surface 04 How low... 05 You're just a toy 06 Static 07 Faint retard Still Available: Comprendido!... digiCD Deflagration of Hell digiCD Erotikon digiCD Dystopian Partycollection


VNV NATION – Of Faith, Power and Glory digiCD out 26-6 ( Following on from the highly successful limited Boxset ‘Reformation 01’, Irish/English duo VNV Nation finally return with their eagerly awaited all new full-length album, that sees the band reach a whole new level musically. The album is more soulful and raw than ever before and shows VNV Nation moving into new musical territories with their own distinctive sound. ‘Of Faith, Power and Glory’ is set to be the band’s strongest and most profoundly evocative release yet that takes a big leap beyond what the band had achieved on their last album ‘Judgement’. VNV Nation have been frequently described as one of the most unique and passionate musical acts in the world of alternative music. Their energetic, profoundly emotive and insightful music has drawn fanatical audiences from around the world. As with all of VNV Nation’s works, the title describes the album’s theme. In this case, it is a commentary on ourselves as individuals or on humanity as a whole. Faith, Power and Glory; three things that, in succession, can bring people to the greatest of heights and achievement, or that can corrupt and destroy. The artwork, created by renowned Polish graphic artist Michal Karz, depicts a memorial in the middle of a wasteland, representing the idealistic monuments humanity has built to its solemn, greatest hopes, as a consequence of displays of its capability for brutal extremes. In keeping with one of VNV Nation’s ideals, namely social awareness, the packaging for this CD is 100% environmentally friendly. Tracks: 01 Pro Victoria 02 Sentinel 03 Tomorrow never comes 04 The Great Divide 05 Ghost 06 Art of Conflict 07 In defiance 08 Verum Aeternus 09 From my hands 10 Where there is light



A SILENT PLACE Proudly presents: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAVAGE REPUBLIC 'Sword Fighter/Taranto!!!' 7" A Silent Place - ASP24 **************************************** Please ORDER your copy now!!! Ask for wholesale price. **************************************** Limited edition including an insert. Very special package with die-cut cover with silk-screened printings designed by Andrea Scarfone (Skarfo/Julie's Haircut). First 200 hand-numbered copies comes is solid RED vinyl. Hailing from the Los Angeles underground of the 1980s, Savage Republic forged an astonishing reputation for themselves with their legendary performances. Their brand of ritualistically tribal exhibitions blurred the boundaries of Post-Punk and Industrial music. Their music incorporates minimalist bass rumbles, exotic and/or militaristic drumming, Arabic melodies, primal chants and even a bit of surf guitar. Now A Silent Place is honoured to release a limited vinyl 7" single with two amazing exclusive tracks recorded expressly for this release after '1938' cd album release on Neurot Recordings! Both tracks are with SR distinguishing elements: tribal drumming, hypnotic and raga-like guitar lines with pulsating bass, Post-Punk and Industrial music with a sort of exotic atmosphere. SR Biography: Figures of considerable repute within the Los Angeles post-punk community of the 1980s, Savage Republic grafted tribal percussion, industrial drones, and raga-like guitar lines together to craft an idiosyncratically moody sound with flashes of both desolation and eloquent grandeur. Capable of both harsh dissonance and shimmering textures, the band's guiding force was guitarist Bruce Licher, a founder and constant presence in their shuffling lineups. Alternating between cyclic instrumentals and quasi-industrial assaults with gruff, chanted vocals, their records were unavoidably inconsistent, but most contain some enduring highlights. Savage Republic was founded by former UCLA students Licher and drummer Mark Erskine in the early '80s. Adding new members, the group originally called themselves Africa Corps, changing the name to Savage Republic just before releasing their first record in 1982. Exotic percussion would always play a big role in Savage Republic -- even in the early days they were using oil cans, metal pipes, and 55-gallon drums. Their early singles, and their debut LP Tragic Figures (1982), show the group at their least accessible, though there are hints of the more mysterious and melodic elements to come. After some personnel changes (some members went off to form 17 Pygmies), Savage Republic regrouped with new elements (Thom Fuhrmann and Ethan Port) and a more guitar-oriented sound. On Ceremonial (1985), the band shifted their focus to mostly instrumental material, usually piloted by oddly tuned guitars (the group sometimes used guitars with six identically tuned strings). They'd never wholly abandon those droning, angst-driven chants, though. Combined with the fact that their instrumental material wouldn't break much new ground over the course of the decade, that can make their studio albums uneven listening. In any case, the band was best experienced live, where they would burn trash cans of pampas leaves, play on Los Angeles' Skid Row, and use all sorts of unexpected objects for percussion in their quest to make each concert a unique event. Savage Republic's albums, which were individually hand-letterpressed and numbered by Licher himself, received as much attention for their packaging as their music. Licher would perform the same services for other bands on his Independent Project label, even getting a Grammy nomination for his work on the first Camper Van Beethoven LP. Savage Republic was not destined to become nearly as big as Camper (not that this was ever their intent), and disbanded around 1990. A small reunion tour brought the band back in the fall of 2002, but the band only played a few random dates. After relocating to Arizona, Licher continues to run the Independent Project label, and design sleeves (his most famous work in that department has been for an R.E.M. Christmas fan club single). Musically, he resurfaced with the trio Scenic, which plays entirely instrumental material that blends the exotic flavor of Savage Republic with influences from Ennio Morricone and southwest border music. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide www.myspace.com/savagerepublic www.myspace.com/asilentplacerec °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° A Silent Place Via Salvator Rosa, 35 Casella Postale 99 70031 Andria (Ba) info@asilentplace.it www.asilentplace.it

HAVING THIN MOONSHINE «Having Thin Moonshine» Digipak CD, ARK Records 2009 ARK015 Having Thin Moonshine is a musical project born in Venice at the end of 2006. The group includes: female voice (Ally), acoustic guitar (Pietro Baldan), bass (Dario Belardinelli) and drums (Jacopo Campi). The lyrics, in English, are written by Ally. They are mainly about introspective personal visions, but also include scenic drama, as in the case of «Salomé» by Oscar Wilde. The music is composed entirely by Pietro, a cellist by profession, graduated from the Conservatory of Music «Agostino Steffani» in Castelfranco Veneto, who began this project following his passion for acoustic guitar and music. Only three months after meeting in studio for the first time, the band records their first demo of five folk-new wave tracks and receives good reviews from the specialized press, raising the interest of radio stations and the public. In 2009 the group signed its first discographic contract with ARK Records, producing its first full length album «Having Thin Moonshine». It includes 12 tracks, in which the throbbing rhythms of the base wonderfully mix with the dynamic frills of the acoustic guitar, creating a soothing and magnetic effect in which Ally’s voice echoes touching the notes of melancholy and projecting before our eyes imaginary landscapes and impressions of dark and inner worlds, which have forever been that innermost place in which lovers of a certain kind of life/new wave and post punk music love to take refuge. The first edition comes in a beautiful digipack and it's limited to 600 copies. TRACK LIST 01. Salomé 02. Giblets of Sorrow [full track] 03. Point of View 04. Fake Promises 05.

ROME – Flowers From Exile digiCD out 26-6 Into the heart… With ‘Flowers from Exile’, the Luxembourgish folk formation ROME surpass their work to date, which already includes three full-length albums in just a few years. Just as early releases were apocalyptic and aggressive in nature, the expressionistically-tinged CD ‘Masse Mensch Material’ (2008) could be said to have a revealed inner vision. ROME’s universe was expanded by proud resignation and sweet melancholy. The latest album, ‘Flowers from Exile’ goes a step further in this direction. Similar to the early albums of the legendary songwriter Leonard Cohen, stories from the (inner) exile are told here with fatalistic gestures and dark timbre; of the longing for a lost homeland, of loneliness and eternal travels, but also of unexpected friends far away and the actual homeland in your own heart. Songs such as ‘The Secret Sons of Europe’ or ‘To Die Among Strangers’ (which was previously released as a CD single) form a song cycle full of metaphors for estrangement – the poetry of longing. Highly detailed arrangements use the sound of the flamenco guitar as well as mysterious samples, pulsating beats and sad melodies. In ROME’s songs there lives a stoic sense of the melodramatic. As well as Cohen, one must look to icons such as Tom Waits and late Johnny Cash in order to be able to describe the lyrics and voice of Jerome Reuter. ‘Flowers from Exile’ is just as much an emotional as a critical work. The personally stamped album of a modern singer-songwriter which tells of journeys both within and without. Jerome Reuter’s moving vocals and Patrick Damiani’s complex musical arrangements leave the musical roots of folk far behind and send these ‘flowers from exile’ to all listeners who are willing and capable of feeling the dignity, the hope and the pride behind the lyrics and who are prepared to recognise themselves in those restless spirits whom the twelve part song cycle conjures up. Into the heart… Tracks: 01 To a Generation of Destroyers 02 The accidents of Gesture 03 Odessa 04 The secret sons of Europe 05 The hollow self 06 A legacy of unrest 07 To die among strangers 08 A culture of fragments 09 We who fell in Love with the sea 10 Swords to rust - Hearts to dust 11 Flowers from exile 12 Flight in formation

CLAN OF XYMOX – Emily ltd.digiMCD out 10-7 EXPORT BANNED: North America With the single ‘Emily’, which is strictly limited to 999 copies, CLAN OF XYMOX offer a promising glimpse of their forthcoming full length album. ‘Emily’ adroitly combines the early, melancholy, 4AD sound of the band with the flimmering synthesizer sounds of the 90s and the dark power of classic goth. Past and present are perfectly combined and the music is, at last, once again that which CLAN OF XYMOX were always capable of. Pulsating, no-nonsense gothic rock, melancholy and powerful, emotional and beguiling. With this release, CLAN OF XYMOX demonstratively return to their roots while nevertheless remaining up to date. They prove above all that their creative potential is a long way from coming to an end. As well as three versions of the title track the single also contains an exclusive track, ‘Chemistry’, and will cause the hearts of all fans of the early period of CLAN OF XYMOX, along with such bands as COCTEAU TWINS or THE WOLFGANG PRESS, to beat faster. Tracks: 01 Emily 02 Emily (Clan Of Xymox remix) 03 Chemistry 04 Emily (Contrast remix)
