Misantronics is an ambient/experimental project from Antwerp (Belgium).  

Misantronics started as a harsh.rhythmic noise project in 2009.  Soon after, the self-founded label Amex Nori would release several CDRs and compilations featuring the harsh and brutal sounds of an angry citizen.  But things started to change.  When the project got picked up by the Englist Dark Meadow Recordings, Misantronics had already been experimenting with live improvisation and pre recorded sounds, resulting into an atmospheric yet rhythmic drone sounds.  
After DMR was defunct Misantronics stopped experimenting and recording for a while.  Unhappy and frustrated with the direction the project was going all instruments got packed and put in a dark corner of the living room.  Some lost tracks appeared on several compilations and an overview compilation was released as a free download on Amex Nori's Bandcamp page.
In september that same year Misantronics was a visitor at the Incubate Festival in Tilburg.  Armed with simple recording equipment he made field recordings during the concerts, in the hotel, in the beautiful town and everywhere he could find some interesting sounds.  These sounds were later processed, editted and produced in the home studio. The result was Ail-Eni, released by the Dutch label 'Het Donkse Oog' and quickly followed by a full-cd, named Atjaras and a tour in Germany.  
From that day on, the old harsh Misantronics was dead and buried.  However, the rhythmic part remains.  It is now safe to say the Misantronics is a Dark Ambient project using percussion and all kinds of other experiments to enhance the atmosphere.  But don't be surprised to head some techno, drum & bass or even dub tunes.  
So maybe it's best to say that Misantronics is a dark, experimental music project

Metal Blade Records history by Dan Slessor:
Founded upon owner Brian Slagel's enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. It is this ethos that has seen Metal Blade build up a stunning and diverse catalogue, weather the various storms facing any independent label, and in an age of declining record sales boast the most successful years of its existence as it strides into its fourth decade.

What perhaps makes this achievement all the more notable is the fact that Slagel never even intended to start a label. Working in an LA record store and writing for various publications, Slagel was acutely aware that many great bands in the local metal scene were being ignored, and he decided to release a compilation of tracks drawn from these ranks. "There were a lot of really good bands and I was just bummed out that nobody could hear them. It just seemed like I could help them out and have some fun at the same time, and that compilation was the first Metal Massacre," he states. Collating tracks from then unknown bands including Ratt, Bitch, Cirith Ungol, and Metallica amongst others, the compilation sold out immediately. "How important is Metal Blade to our career? They're only the reason we are enjoying the worldwide success we have today," states Metallica's James Hetfield. "Without Brian's openness to some raunchy teens with a crap sounding cassette tape we would be who knows where, and playing who knows what!" With the popularity of the tape spurring Slagel on, the first seeds of Metal Blade were sown. "After the success of those compilations I just started putting out records of bands that I was friends with, but without ever really intending it to be a label at all," he explains. "After I put out four or five releases I started to feel like something was happening, and I decided to quit the record store and quit college and see where it went."

Battling through the first few lean years, when the label consisted solely of Slagel working out of his mom's poorly ventilated garage in the San Fernando Valley, it gradually grew in both revenue and stature. Within a few years Metal Blade would go on to release the debuts of Slayer, Armored Saint, Trouble, and Corrosion Of Conformity amongst others, fanning the flames of the burgeoning metal scene and launching careers of bands that would go onto reap global success. "Without Metal Blade, there is a damn good chance we never would've made it out of L.A," says Slayer's Kerry King. "That was the one bit of luck we needed. You can be the most awesome band on the scene, and if no one notices you, you don't catch on. And Brian Slagel is still one of the biggest metalheads I know!" This genuine love and devotion to metal is central to the relationship many of the artists have with Metal Blade, and King Diamond credits much of its relevance and strength to this passion. "I refer to it as having 'boots on the ground'," the mighty Dane states. "It's not like a major label where some people might be into what you're doing but a lot of them just see it as a job – there's a genuine love for metal there. Through staying true to that and doing their own thing they've carved out a very specific niche that they control, and as an artist it's wonderful to be a part of that."over the years. Clearly without those people we couldn't do what we do, and to everyone out there who has helped us along by being a fan we are so very grateful to you."

DETOXED was born during summer 2009. The purpose was simple. Playing Metal, both sophisticated and spontaneaous. Made of power and melodies, made of catchy choruses and break-neck riffage... Something that could be described as the missing link between In Flames and Strapping young Lad

Loïc Tézénas (guitar) quickly found the musicians who would be the guys of the situation. Here is the ultimate line up (sealed on July of 2010): Laurent ‘Styx’ Py (vocals). David Fantoni (guitar, backing vocals), Loïc Tézénas (lead guitar), Benoit Salaville (bass) & Camille Lecup (drums)

The engine is on. The fuel is burning. Rehearsals smell sweating animals and walls are trembling!

First act: Detoxed is recording demo songs for the EP to come. David Fantoni sits at the production chair. Here is how Detoxed feels Metal: relentless heavy but still melodic. Laurent Py explores new grounds with melodic lines when the songs need it, and the rest of the time, he sticks to his furious pissed-off vocals which already made his reputation.

After a few gigs in Montpellier with local bands (Veils of Perception, Antropofago, Fleshdoll, Grazed) it's time for DETOXED to release their first official CD. "It Was Written In Blood". 
Mixed and mastered by Brett Caldas-Lima at Tower Studio, this 4 tracks EP will be available on 2011, october 25th.
