DEATH IN JUNE
Tsunami Edizioni è lieta di annunciare la prossima pubblicazione della biografia ufficiale dello storico e controverso progetto britannico DEATH IN JUNE. Il volume vedrà la luce nel mese di Aprile con il titolo “Nascosto tra le Rune”, ed è stato curato dal critico musicale Aldo Chimenti in collaborazione con lo stesso Douglas P. Composto di circa 400 pagine riccamente illustrate e articolate, il libro conterrà una cospicua sezione fotografica a colori, una lunga intervista, e numerosi approfondimenti critici all’opera completa della formazione inglese, inclusi tre capitoli dedicati ai CRISIS, la leggendaria punk band pre-DEATH IN JUNE. Gran parte del materiale iconografico proviene dagli archivi personali di Douglas P. ed è assolutamente inedito. Al libro verrà allegato in esclusiva un CD Audio contenente una radio-intervista con Douglas P., intervallata da una selezione di brani di repertorio da lui stesso curata. Nel CD troveranno inoltre spazio alcuni jingle realizzati da Douglas P. per promuovere dischi e concerti di DEATH IN JUNE, e sino ad ora mai pubblicati. Il volume sarà di grande formato e limitato a 1000 copie numerate. I primi 199 esemplari verranno commercializzati in un’edizione speciale rilegata con copertina rigida e sovracoperta, e saranno disponibili esclusivamente attraverso il sito internet di Tsunami Edizioni. Le copie successive, dalla 200 alla 1000, saranno invece rilegate in brossura con ali. Il prezzo di copertina è stato fissato in 33 euro per l’edizione in brossura e 45 euro per l’edizione con copertina rigida.

HOUSE OF USHER
– Necrologio DVD equinoxe out 20-1 (EQ033/EAN 4042564119541) With „Necrologio“ THE HOUSE OF USHER have written their own obituary.

GENOCIDE ORGAN
– Leichenlinie 1989-2009 digiCD tesco out 29-1 (tesco080/EAN 4038846000805) 20 years have passed since :Leichenlinie: got released the 1st time (first EVER release on Tesco!), and 10 years since it got released the 2nd time. And now it shines here as the totally remastered 20 years anniversary edition. Completed with 2 additional tracks recorded around the same time and formerly released on the Monochrome Meditator MC only (SSSM/Japan 1991). This material stands for one of the most wanted records in this genre for all times. :Leichenlinie: remains as an outstanding release in the german post industrial music genre. The well-balanced music contains power electronic rhythm based tracks as well as dark drowning ambient pieces with haunting samples. Tracks like Klaus Barbie, Mind Control and Come Orgasm are played on various stations, parties and radios for the last 20 years. The two additional tracks, so far unknown to the majority, are fitting perfectly to the line-up of the early industrial-rhythm driven sound of the band. The CD comes in a nice spot varnished digipak with the logo debossed on the front cover, similar to :In-Konflikt: Originally released in 1989 as Tesco001, this album is still a mile-stone in Europeon "post industrial" music as it let loose new creative energy of a genre which was thought to be dead. Tracks: 01 Ave Satani 02 Mind Control 03 Klaus Barbie 04 Face of Horror 05 Come Orgasm 06 Stalins Orgeln 07 1...2... Tot 08 Negros in Sky-Wars 09 Keiner kommt zurück 10 Amazade y Negri 11 This is no lie (Audioglobe's newsletter)

FUTURE TRAIL
titolo: Breaking New Ground genere: Dark Electro label: E-Noxe barcode: 4042564117776 cat.n.: NX073 formato: CD Nuova scommessa in casa E-Noxe. Dopo aver portato al successo planetario i WYNARDTAGE, la label tedesca scova questa giovane band formata da componenti dei DAVANTAGE e con alla voce la singer già presente in alcuni lavori degli stessi Wynardtage.

IN STRICT CONFIDENCE
- La Parade Monstrueuse CD out 26-2 11 tracks ‘regular’ edition, with 20 pages booklet. The curtain rises for a parade of the glamorous and fascinating freaks, that celebrate the dark side of life in a morbid cabaret. In Strict Confidence are back again. Rough, edgy and more elaborate than on their previous album. It took three years to finish the work. And they used that time. What has been indicated by „My Despair“ has been led to perfection with „La Parade Monstrueuse“. Welcome to a world beyond the mirrors. In Strict Confidence have collected various fragments - not only of their own musical history – like shards of a mirror to put them together to a new entity. That cabinet of mirrors is full of surprises between old familiar and new where you will get lost completely. Dark romantic melodies with their unneglectable rhythmic roots in Electro, ascend far beyond imagination. Many hooklines will burn themselves into the brain, and they won’t let you escape while the legs are starting to dance. Fragile, multilayered arrangements perfectly reflect the atmosphere of that parallel world and are opposed by rough guitar chords. With „La Parade Monstrueuse“ ISC demonstrate again their exceptional position. They create their own sound space build with darkwave elements, driving rhythms, harsh guitars and playful synthlayers. Above all, the dark and raw voice of Dennis Ostermann is enthrowned and guide as Confroncier through that glamorous world. A world that also contains some be- witched moments, like the vocals of the new singer, Nina de Lianin. Her voice is as well a counterpoint and at the same time addition to the ISC sound space as the new guitaris HayDee Sparks. The record is topped off by the extravagant artwork of „La Parade Monstrueuse“. Let yourselves abduct into this beautiful, fascinating parallel universe. All the waiting was worth while! Tracks: 01 La parade monstrueuse (Intro) 02 My Despair 03 Silver Bullets 04 One drop 05 Set me free 06 This is all 07 Ewige Nacht 08 SnowWhite 09 I surrender 10 Schwarzes Licht 11 Golden Gate

TERMINAL CHOICE
- Übermacht sliderCD out 19-2 OUT395/EAN 4260158833950) „We’re back! And we’re better than before!“ If an artist goes about boasting such a statement on his latest album, it must mean that they are mighty sure of themselves. Anno 2010 A.D., Chris Pohl’s Dark-Electro-Club-Industrial-Metal-hybrid Terminal Choice is returning to the very essence of its sound: thundering Techno- and break beats mingling with hit-laden melodies, massive riff walls, cynical lyrics and loads of black tongue-in-cheek humour. Stadium-compatible Trance riffs are served hot on hard guitar attacks and the electronic elements play the kind of dominant role that made early TC-albums instant floor fillers. „Übermacht“is 100% classic Terminal Choice reloaded… sporting a much larger, more massive and intense sound than ever before! Jumpstyle on Neue Deutsche Härte? Dark Techno at the headbanger’s ball? Call it what you like, but on their new album Terminal Choice do grind anything into the ground that chooses to stand in their way. They ARE back! And they ARE better than before! …and the Joker dances to a thudding Electro beat with a wide grin. Tracks: 01 We Are Back! 02 Bad Trippin' 03 Fight The System 04 I'm Just A Boy 05 Myspace Hero 06 Kommerz 07 Keine Macht 08 Get Away 09 I'm A Monster 10 Bitch Like You 11 Free Again
TERMINAL CHOICE – Übermacht [limited] digi2CD out 19-2 (OUT395-396/EAN 4260158833967) „Übermacht“ will also be released as a very limited edition, including a 7-tracks bonus CD with EXCLUSIVE new and unreleased songs and remixes. PREORDER FAST – This edition is destined to be sold out very fast! Tracks CD2 (only available with the limited Version): 01 We Are Back! (relapse) 02 To America 03 I Kissed A Girl 04 I'm A Monster (Remix by Battle Scream) 05 Fight The System (Remix by Rabia Sorda) 06 We Are Back (Electronic Body Mix) 07 We Are Back (Audioglobe's newsletter)

BLUTENGEL
– Seelenschmerz sliderCD out 5-2 (OUT064/EAN 4260158830645) Without a doubt THE Electro-Highlight of 2001 and the (so far) best selling BlutEngel albums of all times! 16 pearls of electronic melancholy and darkness, incl. the Top clubhits ‚Bloody Pleasures’ (also released as limited single), ‚Children of the Night’, ‚Die with you’ and – of course ‚Seelenschmerz’. A timeless CLASSIC! Tracks: 01 Welcome to the Suiced (Intro) 02 Seelenschmerz 03 I'm dying Alone 04 Der Spiegel 05 Schmerz 1-Liebe 06 Die with You 07 Run away 08 Soul of Ice 09 Schmerz 2-Lust 10 Bloody Pleasures 11 Children of the Night 12 Schmerz 3-Einsamkeit 13 Any Chance? 14 Road to Hell 15 Schmerz 4-Tod 16 After Death (Outro)
BLUTENGEL – Labyrinth sliderCD out 5-2 (OUT277/EAN 4260158832779) Their album from year 2007 (also released as super deluxe box). The album includes the charts-approved single “Lucifer” as well as 14 other sonic gems, all sporting the trademark Blutengel-sound that always finds the right balance between dark romantic elegies and club-oriented tracks. It is highly doubtful that Chris Pohl, Ulrike Goldmann and Constance Rudert have ever delivered an album of this high intensity. Tracks: 01 Into the Labyrinth 02 Singing dead Men 03 A new Dawn 04 Beauty and Delight 05 Dreamland 06 Gloomy Shadows 07 Shame 08 Body move 09 When the Rain is falling… 10 I remember (everything) 11 Lucifer 12 Sunrise 13 Behind your Mask 14 Engelsblut 15 Escape (outro)
BLUTENGEL – Schwarzes Eis slider2CD out 5-2 (OUT335-336/EAN 4260158833363) ‘Schwarzes Eis’ (originally released also as superlimited 3CD-BOX) marked a massive improve of sound- and songwriting quality for Blutengel and the album got the most positive reviews of all BlutEngel albums so far. Easily Blutengel’s most versatile and ambitious work to date, the group managed to fuse the best of all its different creative periods and to cross borders without sacrificing its own identity. Songs like the charts-hitting single “Dancing In The Light” are a picture-perfect example – the catchy, dark sound of BlutEngel has matured, but at the same time feels as fresh and compact as it hasn’t felt since “Seelenschmerz.” The ‘regular’ edition of “Schwarzes Eis” is coming as a double CD, with disc two containing the ambitious instrumental work “Behind The Mirror”, a concept album with 6 tracks. Tracks CD1 ‘Schwarzes Eis’: 01 Behind the Mirror 02 Kind der Nacht 03 City Lights 04 My Nightmare 05 Pure Life 06 The only One 07 Dancing in the Light 08 Schneekönigin 09 My darkest Night 10 The Dream 11 Dreh Dich nicht um 12 Broken Girl 13 Secret Places 14 Schatten 15 Nightfall Tracks CD2 ‘Behind the Mirror’: 01 Mirror I Birth 02 Mirror II Journey 03 Mirror III Confusion 04 Mirror IV Seduction 05 Mirror V Hope 06 Mirror VI Suffering (Audioglobe's newsletter)

BLOOD AXIS / ANDREW KING - The Dream / Fröleichen so well wir 7" storm records out 29-1 (STRM-09/EAN 4038846500091) Limited edition of strictly 500 copies! The 1st ALL NEW recording by BLOOD AXIS after many years! Here sharing a 7" with the British folk singer and song writer Andrew King. The overall theme of this release is the prose of the German middle-ages. Blood Axis interprets a "Minnelied" by Walther von der Vogelweide, living in the 12th /13th century and proposed to be the most important German speaking poet of that time. Andrew King interprets a song by Oswald von Wolkenstein, living during the same period, who stands as the an example of a knight. The specialty on both tracks is that both interpreters are singing the songs in the original language: "Mittelhochdeutsch", the language of the literature of that time, spoken during the time of the Staufer emperors. It is quite interesting to hear how good both interpreters are able to pronounce this difficult old language and how well their own music fits to those lyrics. An outstanding release that shows that it is possibile to work with tradition in an educating entertaining way. (Audioglobe's newsletter)

Audioglobe & Out of Line present SIGNAL AOUT 42 – Vae Victis [limited] 2CD out 22- The legendary Belgian Electro-act Signal Aout 42 is renowned for more than hard beats, monotonous warbling bass and standard club-sounds: the music is an intense and atmospheric trip to the dark side of humanity. Massive analog sounds, hypnotic tribal rhythms, thudding EBM beats and the raw deep voice of Jacky Meurisse meld to epic tracks in an electronic sound spectacular that sounds like the sonic adaptation of a collaboration between H.P. Lovecraft and David Lynch. The creative approach to sound design, the soundtrackesque and overwhelming synthesizer pads are combined to monumental sonic constructs with memorable melodies and cunningly dosed beat infernos to result in music that easily surpasses the standard approaches common to the alternative club scene. There is an electronic life apart from the preset sounds that the scene seems to revel in, these days. It is almost ironic that a veteran of electronic music has to go to show the young creative heads of today how to turn an electronic album into an adventure again. “Vae Victis” is released as a limited first edition including a bonus maxi CD with exclusive remixes from the Northern Alliance (Atopic, Bak XIII, Buzz, Darkmen, Granchaos, Implant, K-Bereit & Void Kampf.) Tracks CD1 ‘VAE VICTIS’: 01 Century of Hate 02 You find Me 03 My Dream 04 Do what I say 05 My Flag 06 Be My Army 07 Time is coming 08 Follow My Voice 09 Vae Victis 10 Red River 11 Karyuska CD2 ‘Time is coming… Insurrection by Northern Alliance’: 01 Time Is Coming… Insurrection (by Atopic) 02 Time Is Coming… Insurrection (by Bak XIII) 03 Time Is Coming… Insurrection (by Buzz) 04 Time Is Coming… Insurrection (by Darkmen) 05 Time Is Coming… Insurrection (by Granchaos) 06 Time Is Coming… Insurrection (by Implant) 07 Time Is Coming… Insurrection (by K-Bereit) 08 Time Is Coming… Insurrection (by Void Kampf)

VOMITO NEGRO
– Skull and Bones [limited] 2CD out 22-1 In times where every band that puts together tracks using a standard sound module and vocal distortion in their bedroom is hyped as the new hope in the “Harsh Electro” or “Dark Electro” genre, an album like “Skull And Bones” feels like a cleansing shock. Belgian legend Vomito Negro, who have been active since the mid Eighties, still celebrate their sound with an intensity, creativity and passion that makes most recent hard Electro projects sound like a weekend trip to Disneyland. The spirit of “Skull And Bones” is of the deepest black… no hope, no mercy! Rhythmic loops are thudding relentlessly under dark sound scapes and the heavily manipulated shouts leave no room for sunny feelings. Even after being active for more than a quarter of a century, Vomito Negro are still a trademark name for a club compatible trip to hell that is bound to stir up, unsettle and electrify. The new album from one of the pioneers of the dark side of electronic music will be released as a limited first edition with a bonus disc that contains the group’s biggest hits, among them some of the greatest EBM classics, in spectacular new versions. Tracks CD1 ‘SKULL AND BONES’: 01 Chateau des Amerois 02 Dance with Death 03 Blood, Sweat & Tears 04 Dark Moon 05 On Demand 06 Burning Man 07 Black Tie White Shirt 08 Mongoloid 09 American Dream 10 United Fake 11 Bohemian Grove CD2 ‘The 2K10 Remakes’: 01 Feel the Heat 02 Jhaza 03 Stay alive 04 Baby needs Crack 05 Shock 06 The Needle 07 Black Power 08 No Hope No Fear 09 Move your Body 10 Save the World

SUICIDE COMMANDO – Implements of Hell CD out 22-1 (OUT384/EAN 4260158833844) The fascination of evil. There are few bands that manage to adapt the most extreme sides of human behaviour to club-compatible electronic sounds as effectively as Suicide Commando, the evil musical brainchild of Belgian Hard-Electro-legend Johan van Roy. On his newest long player “Implements Of Hell”, he effectively pulls out all the stops of a career spanning more than two decades to send the listener on a rollercoaster ride through all the hellish ingredients that make for the sonic phenomenon known as Suicide Commando. Lashing Aggro-Dance-tracks like the single “Die Motherfucker Die” alternate with heavy, dark and rhythmic synthesizer monsters that are not only a massive modern-day reminiscence of the early works of the band but that also make “Implements Of Hell” the darkest excess from Suicide Commando, ever, and the most menacing dance album of the last few years.

ATARAXIA - Concerto No. 6 [+bonus] digiCD twilight out 7-12 (TW1.63/EAN 8016670254744) "What are you searching, Mylord, in music?" "I'm searching for tears and regrets, music exists only to express what is not possible to be expressed by words." After a long wait, finally “Concerto N. 6, a Baroque plaisanterie” CD (originally released in 1996) has been re-pressed in a beautiful digipak edition with digitally re-mastered sound and an exclusive bonus track recorded in 2009! It will contain 9 songs taken from the original album + “Orlando, a female” taken from the out of press “Orlando” EP + an ATARAXIA’s version of Franz Schubert’s Ave Maria. Concerto N. 6” was inspired by ATARAXIA’s admiration for the stylistic canons of Baroque music, a music that incessantely pursued an aesthetical- formal elegance that was sometimes the mirror of an inner beauty. This was also an ironic album in which, sometimes, the band made fun of the very age from which they had taken inspiration. A deeply felt tribute to the Music Maestros of the past, a suffered research in the profound meaning of music, a personal homage to the impressive film of A. Corneau "Tous les matins du Monde", a dialogue between our earthly dimension and the ones we belong before being born and after death, an individual contribution to the Baroque harmonies and age, a subtle balance between formal beauty, passion and spontaneity, a singular excursion in the purity of sound.

Life's Decay
sixth album entitled "Dysrieuses" has just been released ! You can listen to 3 full mp3 from this release on the official website at www.lifesdecay.com or www.myspace.com/abstraktsens Also you can order the album at www.abstraktsens.com Here is a photo of the album : http://www.lifesdecay.com/Gallery/Photos/Html/Pics2009_Dysrieuses.html Here is a description of Life's Decay - Dysrieuses : Dysrieuses is the sixth official album of Life's Decay. It follows its evolution towards a completely acoustical orchestration, this time, nevertheless, with a much more aggressive and dynamic music than in the previous album Eklaasera. In addition to classical instruments such as the cello, the piano or the violin, the bass part is more important as well as the guitar recorded in a more or less saturated way. An organ, even more saturated, is played in some parts. Small atmosphere instruments such as the harmonica, chimes, or a xylophone are also present and so are the industrial drums, the martial percussions as well as many experimental sounds made from pieces of metal or other various objects, all representing a very important part in the project's music. Dysrieuses is carried by the feminine voice and its eclectic lyrics, both dark and poetic, always written in French. Moving between or playing with the instruments, the voice goes sweet or turns into a more violent energy. It is getting hard to describe swiftly the personality and originality of Life's Decay's music which sounds both modern and of all times, digging into old times or possibly invented ones. It is certainly going through a range of musical influences like classical music, industrial music, even pop-rock, but it remains globally dark, experimental, tinted with ambiances at the same time martial, poetic, steampunk or deluxe-retro. As in the previous editions, everything has been entirely achieved by Alea and Lyktwasst : the music as well as the design and the texts decorating the booklet. www.lifesdecay.com www.abstraktsens.com www.myspace.com/abstraktsens

 

ICYDAWN
“A Personal Collection Of Demo(n)s”, nuovo cd album per Icydawn Si intitola “A personal Collection Of Demo(n)s” il primo cd album di Icydawn, artista sperimentale con all’attivo svariati lavori caratterizzati dalle musiche e dalle grafiche particolarissime.

È disponibile dal 16 novembre 2009 “A personal Collection Of Demo(n)s”, primo album ufficiale di Icydawn, progetto di musica sperimentale semisconosciuto in Italia, ma di culto nella vicina Svizzera. L’album, che raccoglie dieci anni di lavoro in una selezione di brani tratti da cd promo, cd singoli e partecipazioni a vari progetti, mira appunto a far conoscere nel nostro paese questo piccolo caso della discografia underground svizzera e mitteleuropea. Elettronica industriale, claustrofobica, a tratti ipnotica, che rimanda a gruppi come Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle e Current 93. “Sono molto contento che il primo full lenght esca grazie ad un’etichetta italiana” ha dichiarato Sacha Rovelli, portavoce del progetto, “sebbene il nome Icydawn sia circolato in maniera importante solo in Svizzera e nel Nord Europa, abbiamo molti estimatori anche in Italia, estimatori che non mancano mai di dimostrarci il loro interesse”.

DEATH IN JUNE
- symbols and clouds - euro cross commemorative edition Double CD in stone box with round cards, silver runes and cloth patch ? Limited edition of 1000 copies Release date: December 9, 2009 This very special soapstone and lazer-engraved granite release assembles onto one CD the best of 1992?s ?But, What Ends When The Symbols Shatter?? and 1995?s ?Rose Clouds Of Holocaust? albums plus two rare single tracks from the same period, generally considered one of the high points in Death In June?s career. It also includes a second CD featuring re-recorded, stripped-back acoustic ?Totenpop? versions of 15 of these classics, recorded shortly after the final tour in June 2005 and mixed and produced in December 2008. Accompanying the music in the Euro Cross is a camouflage brown-on-brown Runic Whiphand 6 cloth patch, four double-sided full color information cards featuring rare and unseen photos from the time, and four different silver Rune pendants, each approximately 18 mm in height representing Birth, Life, Destiny and Joy. ?Symbols And Clouds - Euro Cross Commemorative Edition? is limited to 1000 copies.

THE BOYD RICE EXPERIENCE
- hatesville! ?Hatesville!? is a collection of songs by The Boyd Rice Experience, The Partridge in the Pear Tree, Adam Parfrey and Jim Goad. It was orignally released in 1995, but quickly went out of print, and has ? until today ? commanded absurd prices from collectors. This new edition has been completely remastered and features three new songs. Best of all, it?s available for the first time on vinyl. Famed hot rod artist Coop, whose black & white artwork appeared on the 1995 version, added color to the artwork for the new edition. No expense has been spared for this reissue. The CD is presented in sturdy six-panel folder, the black vinyl LP comes in an sturdy old-school ?tip-on? cover, and the picture disc comes in a heavy PVC sleeve. The CD is unlimited and we plan to keep it in print forever, but the black vinyl LP is limited to 1000 copies and the picture disc is limited to 500. Boyd Rice?s biography is extensive and includes numerous albums, books and film appearances. His musical career began in the 1970s when he performed and recorded as NON. In the mid 1980s he became involved in the Church of Satan, and later launched a Social Darwinist think tank called The Abraxis Foundation. He has performed and recorded with Douglas Pearce of Death In June, Michael Moynihan of Blood Axis, and famed industrial percussionist Z?ev. His newest book No is a collection of essays. He presently lives in his underground bunker in Denver, Colorado. Adam Parfrey is best known as the founder of Feral House, a small but influential book publisher, with titles like Apocalypse Culture, Lords of Chaos, and Jim Goad?s Giant Book of Sex. He?s always had an interest in music, and released two albums and a number of singles in the 1990s, including S.W.A.T - Deep Inside A Cop?s Mind: The Soundtrack for the Next Police State and A Sordid Evening of Sonic Sorrows. He lives in Port Townsend, Washington. The Partridge in the Pear Tree, previously known as Shaun Partridge, co-founded the Partridge Family Temple in Denver in 1988 with a friend. ?The Partridge Family Temple is a religion based on fun, truth, and reality. We believe in freedom, fun, and enjoying life every day, because we all know we're going to die. Life is scary and miserable and we say, ?Come On, Get Happy!?? He now lives in Portland, Oregon. Jim Goad became famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) for his magazine Answer Me!, which he published from 1991 to 1994. He contributed to the S.W.A.T recordings, and released the album Truck Drivin? Psycho in 1996. He has authored several books, including The Redneck Manifesto and Shit Magnet: One Man?s Miraculous Ability to Absorb the World?s Guilt. He runs jimgoad.net, and lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

BOYD RICE
- the way I feel This is an album about feelings. Those of you who only know Boyd Rice from his rather brutish and insensitive noise music will no doubt be surprised to discover the sensitive, at times passionate individual lurking beneath his often gruff exterior. Here, Rice opens up for us. He shares how he feels about a wide range of topics, and we bet you?ll be surprised just how often his thoughts and feelings mirror your own. Throughout his long and storied career Boyd Rice has collaborated with other musicians. From the leading lights of England?s neo-folk underground to America?s most obscure eccentrics, Denver, Colorado?s favorite agent provocateur has repeatedly insinuated himself into the lives of the most interesting, the most notorious, and most memorable artists and performers, every time producing a classic song that defies easy categorization. ?The Way I Feel? collects the best of these tracks onto one album. Whether it?s with Coil or David Tibet, Douglas P. or Tiffiny Anders, every song is special, and the atmosphere is unforgettable. ?The Way I Feel? was first released in the year 2000 and has never gone out of print on CD at Soleilmoon, but with the release of ?Hatesville? imminent we decided to relaunch it. When we first put it out we pressed 1000 copies on black vinyl, but they sold out in a matter of weeks. On September 14 we?ll issue two vinyl configurations, both very limited: 300 copies on red vinyl and 500 picture discs. A fresh pressing of CDs will accompany the other formats.(Cold Meat Industry's newsletter)

RAISON D'ETRE
- the stains of the Embodied Sacrifice CD 'The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice' is not only vibrating on the surface of your skin. It is alive and breathing, a creature with a knife that cut deep wounds in your body while your soul shatters for air. It is a psychosomatic and transgressive disease opressed by a compulsive behaviour manifested in dualities - the one of your body and mind - and states of metamorphoses - mind becomes flesh become wounds become fluids become stains. Play it loud if you want to become the martyr. Play it low if you are the innocent victim. There are no levels in-between. Violent and intense, it is a hell of an ordeal. But withstand and you are promised bliss. 'The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice' is the new full-lenght studio album by raison d'être. (Cold Meat Industry's newsletter)

ATRIUM CARCERI
- Phrenitis CD 'Phrenitis' takes the listener to a twisted place where the walls between worlds are razed. The ruinous cities of wars long past, where time itself is but a prisoner and the warlords roaming their purgatorial halls are free to destroy the very foundations of the natural order. 'Phrenitis' is the 6th album of Atrium Carceri and is yet another step of the ever increasing Atrium Carceri wake up call. Simon Heath shows himself and the world, yet again, that no man is ever truly the master of their art unless they strive to evolve with it. The soundscapes he has created bypass the conscious mind, taking the listener deep into his pristine nightmare. The evolution of sound is spot-on and sets Atrium Carceri apart from other lazy dark ambient acts by being a truly diverse piece, replete with details upon details to make the illusion complete, and haunting compositions to make the mind yearn.

GENOCIDE ORGAN
- Live in Japan 2003/2007 Finally, this long awaited document is available! Japan has been a wasteland for German "industrial" and/or "power electronics" bands for many years, but in 2003, Genocide Organ entered the motherland of noise. Invited by Teito and MSBR, Genocide Organ played two remarkable shows in Tokyo. The first in a typical noise/hardcore club called 20000V, and the second at a small theatre called Die Pratze. Because of the two different locations and atmospheres, G.O. prepared two completely different sets. While the material at 20000V featured tracks from what was, at the time, the forthcoming album "In-Konflikt," plus a selection of powerful, well-known tracks, the setlist at Die Pratze featured more "calm" and unreleased tracks integrated into a theatrical-type performance. Both gigs represent the repertoire of Genocide Organ, which makes this band more than just a phenomenon of one genre. The two shows are presented here on DVD in their entirety, edited from three different camera angles by Frank Merten of Seismic Wave Factory, known for the visuals of Herbst9 and Land:Fire. The DVD is professionally mastered and features a fully animated menu. In 2007, Genocide Organ returned to Tokyo for two more shows, both hosted at 20000V, and again, each show had a different setlist. The audio CD in this collection features a selection of the best tracks from both evenings. Many had never been released or played live before, while some "old favorites" appear here in completely different versions. The quality of the recording is amazing, and you will feel the full power of these two gigs. (Cold Meat Industry's newsletter)

TRIORE
- Three Hours CD - cmi201 This fairytale started to unravel four years ago with the release of Triarii?s "Piece Heroique" (ES-05). A sinister seed was planted in the fertile soil of northern Europe as Christian Erdmann (Triarii) and Tomas Pettersson (Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio) gave birth to the track "Roses 4 Rome". And now finally, the progeny has been conceived and fully developed; and what they call TriORE, has ultimately been born. Both participants go beyond themselves and step out of normal character, but TriORE is nonetheless the embodiment of all that which is Triarii, and all that which is Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio; like a succulent apple in two opposite pieces just waiting to be devoured. The bombastic touch of Triarii is still there; the string sections, the choirs, the martial drums and much more; alongside the eloquence of Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, musically, melodically, as well as lyrically. This is what all lovers of both bands have been waiting for, a complete forty minutes of Art Deco Industrial Pop. This work begins where Roses 4 Rose left us, and takes all the way from the rising of victory, through the trenches and all the way till Europa falls. (Cold Meat Industry's newsletter)

AETERNA
- New Dawn CD - cmi199 Awake the New Dawn! Aeterna is a new apocalyptic folk outfit from Germany, born in 2007. In the beginning it was intended to be the strictly personal musical outlet for founding member Birthe Klementowski, well-known from her artwork for Cold Meat Industry?s Desiderii Marginis, :Golgatha: and Dawn & Dusk Entwined, but the dynamics between Alpha and Omega brought forth something new. The dark and brooding atmospheres invoke the mood of decline and decay, a direct resemblance to the artist?s photography. The album ?New Dawn? ultimately presents 11 songs about the decline and rebirth of culture. Aeterna does not serve ideological pattern but presents the musical and visual output as an inspiration for the audience. Death is always the beginning of a new circle. Out of hopelessness arises a New Dawn. As the earth faces the end of resources and the destruction of nature, the loss of spiritual values and the total virtualisation of the all-day life, mankind experiences a self made inferno. We have to turn and find new ways? Aeterna is a prayer for these new ways. For new spiritual values to ignite the fire of enlightenment once more. To create something new out of the old roots. The Old Gods eventually may not return, but the Eternal Principle is still there. The music of Aeterna is based on ritualistic and shamanistic structures, mainly acoustic sounds, and invoking chants ? all based on the dualistic principle of male and female energy ? Alpha & Omega. Aeterna is a trans-modern, neo-shamanistic, animistic art project. A Luciferian hymnus to awake the New Dawn? (Cold Meat Industry's newsletter)

arktau eos - ai ma ra 2CD - Aural Hypnox Ai Ma Ra is a monumental album containing over 105 minutes of experimental elemental and ambient music, original in the literal sense of the word. More than music, it is 'ethnography of the unknown' in action, providing vistas into rarely glimpsed corners of reality. Created primarily on acoustic instruments, organs and harmonium, carefully mastered on vintage tape, the sound is equally earthy as it is otherworldly ? a contradiction in terms maybe, but then Ai Ma Ra is not classified easily in any other respect either. It is a record in which to immerse one?s self over time, containing more than two years' worth of strange experiences and sensations distilled into a curious, potent elixir, the use of which may in its truest sense be determined only by the individual listener. Ai Ma Ra, pressed in 1.000 copies, comes in a sturdy, deep green cardboard box stamped with the mark of Arktau Eos. Contained within is an 8-page booklet bound in tête-bêche format on high quality paper, a small talismanic print, and two CDs. (Cold Meat Industry's newsletter)

allseits
- hel CD - Cyclic Law ALLSEITS is the Solo project of the german instrumentalist Nina Kernicke known from her recent collaboration with German Drone pioneers Troum of which Nina has also been a recent live member of and her work under her other alias, ALLSIDES. The Album "Hel? describes the way into the underworld, the listener is guided through various stages on the journey down to Hel, the Norse mythological term for hell and also for the goddess Hel who is said to keep watch over the underworld. The journey begins at the foot of Yggdrasil, the world tree, under which the entry to Hel is hidden. We then ride the river Gjöll, that flows along the human world before it runs down to Hel. Gjöll is spanned by the bridge Gjallarbr?ch is guarded by Modgudr, a female giant, who decides who can pass the bridge. Leaving Gjallarbr?ind, the large dog Garm that sentinels the gate to Hel is waiting and at his side sits Fjalar, a rooster that will crow to signify the beginning of Ragnarok, the end of the world. After passing Fjalar Hel is finally reached. This allegoric tale is expressed diligently by Kernicke with the use of guitar, bass, drums and skillful sampling creating thick drony layers of deep and solemn emotions. Edition of 1000 copies In gatefold cardboard sleeve. 6 Tracks. Running Time: 44:50 (Cold Meat Industry's newsletter)

Featuring 13 new tracks created and performed in Roberto Conforti’s unmistakable and unique sound, it will certainly be hailed as his greatest work to date. Regarding Darkness Prevails, Conforti says, "Often, this is how I perceive the world around me. In the absence of light, darkness prevails. An age isn't called 'dark' because the light fails to shine, it's because people refuse to see it. But beneath the anger, there's the sorrow, and beneath the sorrow, there's love. In these songs, you may find words of anger, of sorrow, and of love. It depends on how much light you are missing.” “My intention with Darkness Prevails is to give you food for your 'inside' when it's needed." Produced by Pulcher Femina Music & Lyrics by Roberto Conforti Recorded at Ghostrack Studios, Rome, Italy Mixed in Athens by George Priniotakis at Artracks Recording Studios Mastered in Germany by Tim Schuldt @ 4cn-studios Graphic Design by Daniel Rolli.

ROME – L'Assassin digiMCD out 29-1-2010 (TRI382/EAN 4260063943829) The Assassin – Murder? Crime of passion? As always, ROME’s titles ought to be taken with a pinch of salt. ROME’s new 'Chanson Noir' is speaking of man’s enslavement in a world of constant transformation. The traditions of (French) Chanson and (American) Folk are becoming more and more influential in their current work. Chansonniers like LÉO FERRÉ, JACQUES BREL and singer/songwriter heroes like CAVE, CASH and COHEN are obvious influences. The previous album “Flowers From Exile” already gave a first impression of what they themselves call 'Chanson Noir' – the darker side of singer/songwriter tradition: post-industrial-folk with bits and pieces of Electronic Pop, complex arrangements of breathtaking melodies, mesmerizing ballads of lyrical beauty, underlining ROME’s ethos of never faltering or remaining uninvolved. The EP/Single features four songs among which the exclusive and intimate track “One Flesh”. The creative input of new member Nikos Mavridis (on violin and other stringed instruments) has become more and more apparent, most obviously in the reinvented, “stringed” versions of two classic ROME tracks "Der Erscheinungen Flucht" and "Der Brandtaucher" from the highly successful album „Masse Mensch Material“. ROME are reinventing themselves with each release, without ever losing track of their roots. Still, the sheer anger and ultimate despair of the early, warlike days has somewhat evaporated to make room for more complex and classical arrangements and ever more thought-provoking lyrics. ROME: unmasked, honest and authentic!
Tracks: 01 L'Assassin 02 One Flesh 03 Der Brandtaucher (Stringed Version) 04 Der Erscheinungen Flucht (Stringed Version).

BLACK SUN PRODUCTIONS & BAHNTIER – Enoeraew ltdCD-box out 30-11 (rbl025/EAN 4250137221328) Massimo & Pierce (Black Sun Productions, Anarcocks, Queen Lear) Black sun productions is the project of Massimo & Pierce, a duo of producers and performers based in Zurich, Switzerland. Former members of "COIL live" and creators of "Plastic Spider Thing Show". Beside Black Sun Productions, their discography features an array of guest artists such as COIL, LYDIA LUNCH, HR GIGER, Val Denham, Sudden Infant, Niko Skorpio, Sonne Hagal, Andrew Zealley and many others. With Stefano Rossello (Bahntier, Detune-X, Ketvector) they have been collaborating on a number of projects since 2006 and ENOERAEW is the first full length album as a trio. Tracks produced over the years were reworked and brand new pieces recorded in Spring 2009 in Zurich. The album was then mixed and produced by Stefano in Italy. In ENOERAEW Massimo & Pierce's experimentalism meets Bahntier's Electro-Industrial-dance, hypnotic arrangements for an oneiric and poetic journey into the realms of Ritual Music. The themes of Love and Desire, Magic and Death are here insightfully investigated and the result is an aural experience of Electronica, Melodies and Acoustic instruments melting into a tantalizing new genre. The Album contains the cover song of "Sweethome Under White Clouds" by VIRGIN PRUNES. LIMITED EDITION of 399 copies in hand-numbered DVD-sized case, including Postcard by Tina Cassati.

CHAOS/ORDER - Significance of Blood CD out 30-11 (rbl026/EAN 4250137224701) Legendary Rome-based electro-act Chaos/Order strikes back with the third and final step in the trilogy of the colours. ‘Significance Of Blood’ (aka the red album) closes the circle started in the year 2000 with the furious breakcore/trancey industrial blend of ‘order/chaos’ (the black chapter), followed in the year 2004 by the soft white psy-EBM-trance of ‘the monroe transfer’. This final red chapter is ‘a farewell to the world of living, a journey through the deepest dreams of eternity’. Technically it is a new breed made out of tribal techno trance with many progressive and obscured EBM overtones, investigating the darker side of the human being. Blood, faith, technology. Groovier than ever, the red album terminates a journey started 10 years ago and at the same time it is opening a brand new cycle of life. The disc is also featuring a stunning bonus cover track of SKINNY PUPPY’s process-era ‘CANDLE’, an obscure electro masterpiece totally re-arranged to fit the mood of the red album. Enjoy Significance of Blood! Similarities: X-Dream, This Morn’Omina, The Delta, Clock DVA, Midimiliz.

SOKO FRIEDHOF – Totengräber CD von grafenw. out 24-11 (graf695/EAN 4046661171327) The new album by the scandalous electro act and parallel project of DIE UNTOTEN! While representatives of the Post Punk generation claim on TV and elsewhere that there’s nothing left to ‘shock’ the audience these days, Soko claim that this statement is DEAD WRONG! Indeed, the new album ‘Totengräber’ (Gravedigger) has been recorded and written in order to SHOCK and shake the foundations of the lame electro-scene again, always maintaining and developping though their trademark feeling for satirical lyrics and a faible for (black) humour – Two ingredients of Soko Friedhof’s sound, that is not always being understood by everybody. Just of recent a mayor of a city in Northern Germany forced the organisers of a concert to cancel a show by Soko Friedhof, because of the projects allegedly ‘dangerous’ and ‘tasteless lyrics!

FOLKSTORM - Ortodox CD out 1-12 (oecd126/EAN 8016670252849) Screaming vocals, harsh analogue filter sweeps, pulsing distorted sines and squares. Folkstorm has never sounded this angry and mean! Maybe it is a reflection of the current state of things - regression, mass-unemployment and a corrupt financial system about to implode. Ortodox is a return to the fine tradition of making music all analogue - no computers, no sequencers or modern trickery. A pure celebration of classic Swedish Industrial music, and a protector of values that are about to be lost. Distribuzione Audioglobe

ROMA AMOR - Femmina CD out 1-12 (oecd122/EAN 8016670252948) Second album by this intriguing Italian Noir-Cabaret Neofolk project whose self-titled debut was one of the biggest sellers on OEC of past years! 10 songs that celebrate the feminine dark side in all its guises. Lyrics in Italian and local dialects, mostly inspired by female figures of Mediterranean folklore, that deal with the most hidden, sombre, melancholic and romantic aspects of the feminine universe. The aged music of old Europa, with its tango, waltz and cabaret motives, are the soundtrack and the female vocalist sounds like she’s putting a lot of wear and tear on her throat in order to render the mood of these combative, bad, scary, deep passionate women. Warm latin stuff for late night listening. Distribuzione Audioglobe

ORCHIS
First is about old english dark-folk band - ORCHIS... After many years of grave silence, in the beginning 2009 group declared the returning and the beginning of record of the new album which exit is planned in the end 2010... ORCHIS is an English Dark Folk band consisting of Tracy Jeffery (who also sings with Cunnan and J Greco's SQE), Amanda Prouten and Alan Trench (Cunnan, SQE, Twelve Thousand Days(with Martyn Bates), Temple Music). We have so far managed to release four albums to date starting in 1994 with The Dancing Sun (cryptanthus /World Serpent), which was more a collection of formative pieces than anything else, then in 1997 the concept album that was A Thousand Winters (cryptanthus / World Serpent). Mandragora (Trisol), an alchemical album based around the themes of life, death and the transmutation of the soul followed in 1999 and in 2001 Trait (a ‘best of’ released through the Russian Brudenia label). Relocation and various tedious problems put ORCHIS on the back burner for a while whilst we buried ourselves in other projects like the busy bunnies we are; we raised our heads out of the mire again in 2007 with the ‘Other Days’ download ep via the (now sadly defunct) Woven Wheat Whispers legal folk download service... There have been numerous compilation album appearances over the years, with some tracks turning up on the ‘Trait’ album. We like to think, as the Fairports had it, that we are Nicely Out Of Tune - there was the odd perfect take, but those were never the ones that went on the albums - rather it was the ones that kept to the True Spirit.... For now, we are happy, to inform you about the important, re-release of the second long-play, by this Esoteric Dark Folk Cult from United Kindom! ORCHIS - A THOUSEND WINTERS - DigiCD will be released under badge IFP in the first day of the future winter...

"Cabaret Syndrome" è un bellissimo gioiellino di Folk Wave che questo duo italiano ha saputo confezionare con abilità e gusto per gli ottimi arrangiamenti. Si sentono echi di SPIRITUAL FRONT e CALLE DELLA MORTE, ma gli ONIRIC riescono a personalizzare le nove canzoni presenti nell'album con accorgimenti particolari come l'uso della lingua francese o la bellissima prova vocale di Simona Giusti. Sognanti, malinconici e decadenti.

DIVINE MUZAK
"Maison Skinny" CD (PUNCH 029) After more than 3 years of clinical explorations, DIVINE MUZAK finally exposes the newest full length studio album deconstructed in the most mature and subjective sound style ever designed by the duo. MAISON SKINNY, the ultimate DIVINE MUZAK pain collection, embodies 11 organic stories full of multiple insights and subjective perspectives on the human body. MAISON SKINNY is in itself a metaphor of the body, a body that dismisses love in the morning and tastes starvation at night, that releases liquids in partyrooms and covers itself with silk, bruises and angústia. The new DIVINE MUZAK album is a passenger through many musical genres and interpretations, but only settles in between borders. It contains 60 minutes swallowed by plastic drumbeats, cruel analog synthesizers, retro organs, kinky guitar strings, weeping musical saw and theremin tears, isolated accordion keys and departed acoustic instruments, along with emotional and deep girlie vocals. DIVINE MUZAK is reaching its highest by creating a personal recipe for a bizzare medicine made of electronica, lounge, industrial, cabaret, post-modern psychedelia, dark pop and looney poetry. You are invited to experience it under the name of "hospital-pop" while taking your unsafe seat in DIVINE MUZAK's MAISON SKINNY. RELEASE DATE 05 DECEMBER 2009 PRE-ORDER NOW ! Price: 12,00 euro + postage Tracklist: (Sound clips available on our website) 1. Dreams Size Zero 2. Looney Bunny 3. Rockabilly Doom 4. Love Bang Bang 5. Little Baby Horse 6.

VELEHENTOR never had accurate stylistic frameworks, it Dark Ambient; Industrial; Harsh Noise; Power Electronics; Ritual; Drone Ambient; each album is unique and distinct from another, but VELEHENTOR, is always recognised, on unique sound and absolutely and precisely verified concept. Sounding gets out according to a theme of albums. Each album VELEHENTOR is devoted any defined, to event, a place or the phenomenon, with an ominous shade, poisonings with the Siberian ulcer; nuclear bombardments; terrorism; dead cities in zones of ecological disasters; cases of poisonings of one people by others; war; the cities-phantoms left by people; mass suicides and inexplicable, mysterious cases destruction of people - as on albums 'Dyatlov Pass' which we pride represent! Now, the album is available for the first time in the full version, on 3CD! CD 1 - Dyatlov Pass CD 2 - Man-Pupy-Njer (Velehentor/Ad Lux Tenebrae) CD 3 - Otorten "Dyatlov Pass" has been recorded in 2002, it scale record consisting of 2? long, nearby-hour tracks one of which has been written down together with "Ad Lux Tenebrae", and 9 short compositions. In 2003 without the permission of the authors, the first track has been published in a cd-r format, limited in 121 copy, by a piracy label 'fight music' and stood out for a high-grade album. The edition has been instantly sold-out, has received huge quantity great and enthusiastic responses, and till now it is considered one of the best drone ambient works from Russia... It's a true monument and a masterpiece of ritual-shamanic drone ambient music. The album is devoted, mysterious death of nine professional tourists, on a mountain Holat-Sjahl slope (that in transfer from Mansi language - "Mountain of dead") on February, 1st 1959?. Sixty years later this history continues dements researchers, but the solution probably will be already never found... The set of versions, hundreds research expeditions, and can explain nothing years of investigations that has occurred that night!? Investigations of the deaths suggest that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot in heavy snow; while the corpses show no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one was missing her tongue. According to sources, the victims' clothing contained high levels of radiation, but no one from group do't work with radioactive objects. Soviet investigators determined only that "a compelling unknown force" had caused the deaths. Entrance to the area after the incident was barred for three years. The chronology of the accident remains unclear due to the lack of survivors to the accident. Velehentor, will spend you, to sound travel through time and space... In the infinite Snow-covered Northern Ural Mountains (one of the most dangerous and remote areas on a planet), on 60 years ago, there, where it again occur!...

DAHLIA INDACO
is the recording and performing unit of ELISABETTA PATRITO (vocals, bass, synth textures) and MASSIMO USAI (vocals, guitars, programming). formed in 1999, when USAI started to mess with lousy sequencers and asked PATRITO to join him in the making of original compositions, the sardinian duo set up from scratch to create music meant to explore the darkest side of human feelings. from the raw beginnings the material grew up to its current shape, in which elements of dark, ethereal atmospheres blend with a combination of synthetic beats, acid arpeggios and raging basslines. DAHLIA INDACO went thru a number of demo recordings and live shows during most of its existance, only to disappear from the local gig scene around late 2005 to concentrate on future plans and side projects (notably USAI's RECS OF THE FLESH and WHITE KLAUDIA, hailed by the likes of drum-meister DAN LAUDO and bassist extraordinaire STEVE DI GIORGIO as some of the most creative outfits of today's underground). fascination for bands like KILLING JOKE, COCTEAU TWINS, THE SISTERS OF MERCY and PRONG (whose mainman TOMMY VICTOR's early CBGB days inspired USAI to successfully pursue a career in sound engineering) grew evident in 2007, when the duo released the MOTHERMECH EP, containing four tracks that represented a fresh new start for DAHLIA INDACO, and were able to get attention from 13th PLANET RECORDS manager ANGELINA JOURGENSEN: her input was decisive for both USAI and PATRITO to go on and create their own label imprint and self-release music that was done independently of external financial support. after managing to place remixes online for both CELLDWELLER's SWITCHBACK contest and PRONG's POWER OF THE DAMN MIXXXER web edition, USAI started to rework loops and sequences to finalize a proper debut for his own creation. CHRONICLES OF NOWHERE, the band's first full length album, has been 2 solid years in the making and comes out on 2009, marking the tenth anniversary in the history of a project whose obscure roots are still totally unknown to the mainstream audience. including eleven songs written over a period that covers the entire lifetime of DAHLIA INDACO, the album features the collaboration of DARREN TRAVIS (vocals & guitars of the pioneering thrash/death outfit SADUS, a longtime influence of the band's heaviest side), who lent his voice talents for the recording of two of the most intense creations of the duo. CHRONICLES OF NOWHERE tracklisting: 01. SACRIFICE 02. ASHES OF A BLOSSOM 03. BLESSING 04. MATERNALIA 05. FOG 06. HIDDEN 07. SEVERED (featuring DARREN TRAVIS of SADUS) 08. REMEMBRANCE 09. SOUNDS OF DEVOURING DARKNESS 10. CHRONICLES OF NOWHERE 11. LIFELESS (featuring DARREN TRAVIS of SADUS) RAISING REAL RECORDS will officially disclose the full length release on 09.09.09 - the album will be streaming in its entirety online and for free via the band's official website, bandcamp account and myspace page. -- raisingrealrecords.com

A label responsible for reissuing classic and obscure music from well-respected underground bands like SPK, Severed Heads, Esplendor Geometrico, Maurizio Bianchi and many others. 1984-1986 Testament Of Tape captures vidnaObmana in his most experimental phase, searching for his own musical voice moving through various styles.

INFORMATIK
titolo: Arena genere: Synth Pop label: Dependent formato: CD Attivi già dalla metà degli anni novanta, e con una pausa di alcuni anni, il duo di San Francisco è considerato da molti adetti ai lavori una delle più importanti ed influenti bands di alternative electro-pop. Quest'ultima release presenta gli INFORMATIK in grande spolvero. L'elettronica usata e manipolata in queste dodici canzoni dà un tocco di ariosità che ben si amalgama con le linee vocali sempre molto azzeccate. Una album che conferma la bravura degli Informatik nel saper miscelare Synth Pop, Dark Wave, EBM e Rock. Distr. Masterpiece.

Il gruppo perugino dei MILITIA festeggia nelle prossime settimane 30 anni di attività ininterrotta con una serie di iniziative che li vedranno protagonisti di performances econcerti. Il 15 e 16 Ottobre, rispettivamente a Perugia e Magione, nell'ambito della rassegna RIFLESSIDIVERSI, daranno vita assieme al poeta irlandese MACDARA WOODS (già con loro dieci anni fa per l'audio-book "Above Pesaro"), ad un reading di versi dell'autore con sonorizzazione live. Il 14 Novembre, al Norman di Boneggio (PG), si esibiranno live con tutti i membri originali della formazione e con repertorio interamente anni '80: il concerto rappresenta l'evento speciale della rassegna UMBRIA LIBRI, a margine della presentazione del volume "QUELLI DEL SUBURBIA", che, attraverso le vicende del leggendario locale sorto nella periferia perugina, ripercorre la storia della "NEW-WAVE" e la nascita di un movimento "underground" in questa zona d'Italia.
