In Death It Ends appearing from nowhere via their YouTube channel “▲TV” on new years eve 2011. The facebook page INDΣΔ†HI†ΣNDϟ appeared to suggest this was some kind of ‘comeback’: A number of albums and cassette releases that appeared to date back as far as 1969. This of course is probably untrue, but many love to play along.

For In Death It Ends is a black mass of contradictions. Combining post-punk guitar and bass with ‘witch house’ iconography. Drum machine beat and loop repetition with drone and euphoric energy. Inappropriately large reverbs with analog echoes, satanic chants and monosynths before casting it all aside and descending into lo-fi oceanic distant murmurings. First creating the micro-genre “Progressive Occult Hipstercore” before discarding it for “Progressive Occult Ghost-Wave” for these things are short lived and there are surely new places to explore.

Six months into their existence, in June 2012 the Berlin based label specialising in cassette tapes Aufnahme und Wiedergabe release In Death It Ends first album, “Forgotten Knowledge“, a limited edition of 100 copies that sell out within two hours of the pre-order announcement. (The album ”Forgotten Knowledge” is due for a reissue on October 12th with pre-orders starting on the 1st October). Some two months later, in August 2012 a self-released CDr “Restorative Art EP” is completed. A slightly more indulgent and downbeat release, limited to just 50 copies. (It sells out within ten minutes of the product release going live). Following on from this, Aufnahme und Wiedergabe announce their first vinyl release [a+w lp001] it will be In Death It Ends 2nd album “Occvlt Machine” scheduled for release in January 2013. In October Aufname und Wiedergabe will re-release the first “Velvet Condom” EP on cassette. It will include a remix of the classic track “Kalter Lippenstift” that has been produced by In Death It Ends. For more details, please click here.

And so to now, TSM are set to release “Manifestations”, a six-track 12″ EP limited edition containing tracks picked by the team at TSM: five of the best from “Forgotten Knowledge” and one track from the “Restorative Art EP“. The launch is scheduled for November 2012. Stay tuned!

A Unity of Miseries:
HFF is an Electro-punk act from Los Angeles, USA, in the vein of bands like Portion Control and Cabaret Voltaire, as executed by electronic body mutants Greg Vand and Susan Subtract. Their unique hard beating electronics is heavily infused with body horror and seeks to revive us all from our spectacle-induced coma. Unlike the swarm of revival, retro, and oldschool bands out there hoping to capture your nostalgia or naivety, HFF is looking to pump your bodies and refresh your mind from the tired beat.
