Let's go on a rampage! The German word "Bambule" - a synonym for "kicking up a fuss" - has its origin in the traditional wild dancing style "Bamboule". So it is no wonder that the TYSKE LUDDER guys decided to choose this title for their new release - a musical and textual rampage! The title track "Bambule" comes up with some fresh elements like the clever use of an acoustic guitar - which is quite unusual for an Electro project like TYSKE LUDDER - give it a try - you will definitely be surprised! In addition to that, "Bambule" EP includes the impressive track "U-Boot" as well as remixes from STERIL, HARM JOY, IMPLANT and FEINDFLUG. Packed in an exclusive digifile - limited to 1000 numbered copies - the EP will be released on 19th July for the price of a maxi-CD.

Novalis deux "Q" - Medley

Cyborg Attack is one of those Oldschool-EBM-bands that have always followed that style of music, even when it was completely unpopular. Because of this Cyborg Attack have an extremely faithful fan base. And now, four years after their last album "Blutgeld", the new CD "Stoerf***tor" is being released. Loud, straight forward and uncompromising! Typical Cyborg Attack style combined with rough growls of vocalist Sandro will definitely kick ass! Tracks like "Psycho-X", "Stoerf***tor"and "Maschinenmensch" will hit all dancefloors. Resistance is futile! Cyborg Attack are back!

Nine new songs plus a videoclip of "Roter Schnee". As always Feindflug will remain tough in its thematic processing of problems - direct and above all, double-edged. Don´t forget to turn on your brain every once in a while! Sometimes the truth hurts! Why should we make it easy for you?

taken from CD Brillig "The Red Coats"
BRILLIG´s latest album showcases their inimitable style. With plaintive & alluring vocals and the full cast of brooding instruments (banjo, viola, guitar, autoharp, accordion, ukulele, harmonica, bass), it also marks the debut of drummer Ben Macklin (ex - bit by bats). BRILLIG´s strongest songwriting to date, "The Red Coats" LP offers 12 compelling tales of tragedy, intrigue and sorrow (plus an instrumental `intermission´), which move effortlessly from lush to sparse arrangements. Enchantingly melancholic, beautifully tragic, strangely uplifting... BRILLIG presents a record to become absorbed in - lost in the rhythm and clear space - but centred on the stories within.

It has been more than 3 years and it took a huge amunt of artistic effort and studio work - but now it is done - the new album of NOVALIS DEUX is finished. After the CD "Paradise...?" had convinced both the fans and the critics, the new CD "Ghosts over Europe" is a masterpiece that stands for the increased musical und artistical skills NOVALIS DEUX can again convince with. Still being DarkFolk at its base, the band mixes lots of genres creating a CD that cannot be put into any single genre at all. Songs like "Sleeping Violin", "Homecoming", "Passing by" or "Rome" will find their place in the fans and critics minds for sure. In addition to the two main members of the band Stev (lyrics) and Marcel (keyboards) NOVALIS DEUX has two new members - Mathias (Drums) and Jojo (Piano, Guitar) who both contribute their skills to the new NOVALIS DEUX sound, which makes clear that this is a band we can expect more from in the future. It comes up with a premium copper-embossment digipac. 

Novalis Deux - Ghosts Over Europe

taken from CD Dexy Corp_ "Uchronopolis"
The French Industrial rockers DEXY CORP_ suprise with their new album "Uchronopolis", a straight diesel punk concept album. Taking its roots from books and movies such as 1984, V for Vendetta, Dark City or Brazil, UCHRONOPOLIS takes us through the streets of a mystical city where different factions are struggling for control while a strange humanoid creature is at war to find the secret of its humanity. Puppeteering its characters in the city just as in Voltaire´s Candide, DEXY CORP_ are attacking the codes and thoughts processes from totalitarian societies in order to question the place of the individual in our post modern global society. The Story: "In the gigantic State City of Uchronopolis, Ysokras Salocin and the Nova Corp rule the 13 districts of pipes and steam with a fist full of steel. An anti-governmental group of activists called the Black Flash and its mysterious leader Nero are the only ones to rise against the dictatorship, ignoring the curfews and restrictions imposed on entertainment and freedom of speech. Feeling the wind turning a few decades ago, a brilliant philosopher and achieved scientist submitted a solution to the social struggles based on his research in the cybernetic field. He then was considered a dangerous man and vanished in the desert where he built a massive bunker lab." Through out this original story, the band keeps on hammering its very own blend of cyberpunk metal but now combines this sound with diesel punk ambiant works! Darker than the previous one, this album will take you into a role playing game and push you to take a major decision just as Key will have to do: support the Nova Corp, the powerful entity from Uchronopolis driven by Ysokras Salocin or join Tyler in the clandestine resistance with the Black Flash and Nero, their mysterious leader! DEXY CORP_ already warned us once about our future, this is now time for you to choose a side!

The next big thing! After having released the controversial "SCIENTific technOLOGY" EP, TYSKE LUDDER present their new album "Anonymous". Everybody, who thought that this band ran out of steam - beware of the best TYSKE LUDDER album ever! Once being called Oldschool-EBM legend, TYSKE LUDDER easily manage it to step out of their own shadow and start a new chapter in the band´s 20 years history with new and fresh sounds combining Electro- and EBM-sounds. Harsh beats collide with soundscapes that fight against Albert´s dominant and unique voice - tracks like "Shookz", "Frya Frisena" or "Bastard" will definitely smash up your ass. Thematically, TYSKE LUDDER again don´t mince matters, it is all about dealing blows, not taking hits. As a bonus, you will find the great cover version of JESUS AND THE GURU´s provoking "Panzerlied".

taken from Atomic Neon CD "Change"
Atomic Neon is one of the most impressing ColdWave bands of our time. With their unique and brillant way of combining the melancholy of Wave music from the 80ies and the feeling of getting lost in our modern society of the new millenium, Atomic Neon release their new album "Change" which is a masterpiece full of emotions filled with soul - an album so private and personal (I am Black, Alien) but still with room enough to find yourselves in the depth of emotional labyrinths. Two years after the highly respected album "Darkenia", "Change" shows that Atomic Neon really went through some fundamental changes. This album is different - but also typical for Atomic Neon. Again there are songs about misery (I Hate My Love, Alone), sadness (Weep) and love gone lost (Without You). New powerful tracks (Change, Welt Ohne Farbe) go hand in hand with tender (Last Night, My Cry Of Pain) and fragile songs (Empty, She)! Distorted guitars, atmospheric keyboards, dark bass lines and haunting drums accentuate lamenting vocals. Atomic Neon's "Change" is honest, dark, melancholic and full of pain!

take from Flint Glass & Polarlicht 4.1 CD "Zorans Equation"
These two well know projects in industrial oriented electronica scene, Flint Glass and Polarlicht 4.1-Transistor joint there efforts in this 10 tracks collaboration concept album inspired by the famous novel "La nuit des temps" of French author René Barjavel, reveals a balancing act between industrial-noise, experimental music and cinematic dark electronica evoking imaginary places and arctic icy atmospheres. "Zoran’s Equation" is based mostly on track-sources from Polarlich 4.1 ‘s hypnotizing arranged soundscapes supplemented by Flint Glass’s rhythms constructions, dark atmospheres and background noises, arising to a rarely listened combination. Two artistic minds fused into one, creating a movie with sonic turbulence and heavy surging movement heaves restlessly, reminiscent in places of the sound of one's own muffled breathing heard under ice - the sound of an uneasy sleeping landscape as dense waves of sound reverberate in rhythmic complexity. A concept album for anyone who has a liking for dark ambient music, experimental electronica, noisy sounds and especially for those listeners who appreciate both projects solo efforts.

And again - the new album "Diaspora" continues the story of success of "Anonymus". Modern Electro sounds combined with OldSchool elements and pumping beats underline TYSKE LUDDERS distinctive vocals, which are accompanied by intelligent soundscapes. Tracks like "Der androgyne Held", "Eugenix", "Wallfahrt" or "Abgesang" will definitely become the new TYSKE LUDDER hymns.

taken from Distorted Memory CD "Swallowing The Sun"
"Swallowing The Sun' comes up with a more mature sound than the first album, moving away from terror EBM into darker, more organic Dark Electro sound with a large tribal/ethnic element. Perfectly integrated OldSchool-elements create a timeless album with epic and powerful choruses. Vocals on "Swallowing the Sun" are less processed but more aggressive.

taken from Nitronoise CD "Total Nihilism"
Those who have followed the meteoric rise of DETROIT DIESEL, or read the credits of the seminal debut album “Terre Humaine”, might recall the name of former member Clutch – who parted company with the band shortly before the release of that first album. If you are one of those who wondered “So whatever happened to that guy?” then wonder no longer – wonder only at the sheer adrenaline rush unleashed on his new trio NITRONOISE’s own first album “Total Nihilism”. Hailing from Montreal - and about to make their live debut at no less an event than Kinetik 5 in their hometown - for “Total Nihilism” NITRONOISE takes the sound palette of “Terre Humaine” plus equal parts NACHTMAHR and COMBICHRIST and throws some guitars into the mix for good measure. With art by Vlad McNeally of Kallisti Design, and mastering by Jan L of NOISUF-X / X-FUSION, it would be fair to describe this release as “from the production team that brought you DWA’s best-selling album Terre Humaine” – an assured, polished debut that recalls those musical elements which made “Terre Humaine” great, while taking them in a different, more rock-industrial direction. This is one of the essential new albums and new faces we introduce this Spring! NITRONOISE will get under your skin – “Just let me in, sweet adrenaline”.

taken from Dawn of Ashes CD-EP "Hollywood made in Gehenna"
K./DOA: "Hollywood Made In Gehenna" is based on all ov my experiences being in the Hollywood area. The word Gehenna comes from the Hebrew bible which is a place in the Jewish Hell where all the filth & trash ends up. Basically, it's a wasteland in Hell & that is how I look at Hollywood. From my sexual experiences with whorish females, to the low lives, the depressing drug addicts, the fake musicians, to the mentally deranged homeless creatures that wonder the streets. I am basically using Gehenna as a metaphor towards the way I look at Hollywood. Welcome to Gehenna!"

taken from Lakeside X DCD "City of red lights (+ Bonus-CD)"
The tracks of the third album by indie-electronic band Lakeside X titled "City Of Red Lights" are full of sex, seeking and unleashing demons. It’s a dark story from the city of red lanterns and curtains, a story from the in-between world of life and death. Like Frank Miller would create another episode of The Crow and David Lynch would sit into a director’s chair. Paul Kendall, a renowned sound-engineer who produced and remixed Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb, Erasure or Recoil was involved in album mix and Moimir Papalescu took care of the album master.

The wonderful crazy, Berlin based project POK3MON REAKTOR creates a smashing mixture of OldSchool and North American EBM just according to their motto: music for critical masses! Most of their songs come up with a wink - a feature that most bands of the genre lack of. So just be prepared - get your boots on and your shirts off - and arm your confetti gun while jumping around to great songs like "Steam Pressure Drill & Kick it" and "War".

taken from Panic Lift CD "Is this Goodbye? [Exclusive European Version]"
It has been 3 years since Panic Lift released their debut Witness to our collapse but in that time the band has neither been silent, nor stagnant. Instead, Panic Lift has been slowly carving a name for themselves in the industrial scene, touring the world and appearing on numerous high profile compilations all while simultaneously recording a follow up. In November, Panic Lift will release their newest album Is This Goodbye? on Black Rain Records. This new album showcases a natural progression for the band, fusing their usual style of hard industrial with elements of Synth-pop, Dance and Rock. 'It was important for me push myself and try something new' says singer James Francis, who is also the sole creative force for the band. He continued, 'I've spent so much time touring, learning how to use my voice and incorporating more live instruments, I felt like it was only natural to bring those elements into the studio' Is This Goodbye?, which also features production by Imperative Reaction's Ted Phelps, contains 10 epic tracks that revolve around the central themes of Loss, Confusion and Strength. 'During the writing process for this album I lost my father, it turned my world upside down and I had to find myself again, and a lot of the lyrics reflect that'. Hailing from New Jersey and established in 2006, Panic Lift proves that the only constant element of their sound is change, and with Is This Goodbye? they managed to deliver an album that will both please their old fan base and well as connect with many new fans around the world.

PANIC LIFT - Is This Goodbye?

taken from Cygnosic CD "Fire And Forget"
Made somehow in the midst of a prolific spree of remixes over the last couple of years for the likes of DIE SEKTOR, DYM, SUICIDE COMMANDO, SIN DNA, FGFC820, C-LEKKTOR, TERROLOKAUST and more, and weighing in at a formidable 14 tracks, “Fire And Forget” is easily the most accomplished and extensive CYGNOSIC album yet – filled with singer/songwriter Georg Psaroudakis’ catchiest and most accessible material to date.
Already noted as a name to watch in dark electro circles following the 2009 debut “A Deity In Pain”, CYGNOSIC’s second album “Fallen” (2011) really established this project as the front-runner of the Greek scene – attracting rave reviews internationally, coupled with stronger-than-imaginable sales.
And on “Fire And Forget”, the poppier sensibilities hinted at on cuts like the single “One Step Forward” from “Fallen” have really come fully to fruition – in the shape of songs like “Begin With Me”, the guitar-infused “This Is The Night” or title track and album-opener “Fire And Forget”.
Packed additionally with high-tempo dark-electro hits like “Crawl”, “Find You”, “Greed” and “The Darkness”, fans of CYGNOSIC’s body of work so far are sure to be more than satisfied – but where “Fire And Forget” really seems likely to take off into previously uncharted territory is among those with a preference for strong melodic synth-pop.
Including also the atmospheric “Until Glory” and “The Drowning” (graced with dulcimer), and an initially unexpected cover of the 80s Italo-disco classic “Mad Desire” by DEN HARROW which Psaroudakis makes totally his own (and which makes complete sense in the context of CYGNOSIC’s own programming style), “Fire And Forget” is an unforgettable journey into the musical mind of CYGNOSIC – a work that more than merits the accolade of “masterpiece of the genre”. 
“Fire And Forget” was mixed and mastered like previous CYGNOSIC albums by the Greek scene’s most in-demand engineer and producer Dimitris N. Douvras (SIVA SIX, PREEMPTIVE STRIKE 0.1, TECHNOLORGY).
