“Elegies in Darkness” is the title of the 11th studio album by Diary of Dreams, and the name speaks for itself – the new work couldn’t have been deeper, darker, more organic or more melancholic. All the time, it feels familiar to be lead through the dark compositions of this apocalyptic epic, and yet there’s always the sense of some kind of hope within the darkness, some positive thought, some sincerity. Lyric-wise, four songs come with German words while the rest are in English, and they lead the way through an incredibly eclectic album, mindfully produced with great care for detail – small wonder that it took the band three years to come up with this spectacular masterpiece! But it definitely has been worth the wait …

You’ll dip into deep and viscous soundscapes strengthened by big choirs and massive orchestras, but also into pounding rhythms, touching ballads, pulsating club hymns and apocalyptic grooves. The album thrives on its variety, diversification, power, dynamics, fragility and last but not least on the experience that defines every single note. Adrian Hates – the charismatic voice and song writer of the band – was particularly keen to make sure that the album he calls EiD wasn’t composed within a higher, conceptual setting: he wanted to create an individual history for every track and provide these singular pieces with a common headline to connect and unify them. This work is emotionally song-orientated, while the compositions of the album have a strong connection to each other.

In contrast to the previous record, guitars have reclaimed the role they typically had with Diary of Dreams before: sometimes you don’t even realize that the unusual sounds you’re hearing are brought forth by guitar strings, sometimes they are responsible for the power and dominance of a track, and sometimes they provide the delicate and tender melodies melting skillfully into the whole soundscape. The overwhelming co-existence of synthetic sounds and classical stylistics has always been the main attraction that provides the unusual and extraordinary characteristics of Diary of Dreams. As, without doubt, this new album proves once again.

The band has played more than 500 concerts in 36 different countries … there are only a few bands who can claim such a history, and Diary of Dreams have every right to do so: They live their dream … as darkly beautiful and melancholy it may be.

DIARY OF DREAMS - Mythology of Violence

This is Alchemy Maximum Joy mix Janine Rainforth - the Maximum Joy rework of one of the tracks from Janine Rainforth’s debut solo album Soul Retreival 

Reworked by Charlie Lleweliin, original founder member and drummer of Maximum Joy, the feel is moody and lush, synth-pop with spacious down-tempo bass heavy beats,

Janine Rainforth, lead singer and original co-founder of Bristol post-punk band Maximum Joy/MXMJoY released her debut solo album ‘Soul Retrieval’ on the 14th February via London Field Recordings. 

“Cult post-punk hero” The Guardian 
One of this year’s best surprises has been Soul Retrieval, the debut solo album from Janine Rainforth, best known as the lead singer and co-founder of seminal post-punk funk outfit Maximum Joy. Ransom Note
Beautiful stuff – Zakia Sewell BBC 6 Music


Deserving to be cited aiongside their musical counterparts Gang of Four, A Certain Ratio and ESG, Rainforth co-founded Maximum Joy aged 18 and their spiky, joyful post-punk funk rose up from the fertile Bristol scene of the late 70’s/early 80’s. They released a number of cult classic singles including ‘Stretch’, ‘Silent Street’ and “White & Green Place’. The band toured extensively, releasing ‘Station MXJY’ in 1982 – an album part produced by the legendary Adrian Sherwood. Their final single  of that era – a cover of Timmy Thomas’ Why Can’t We Live Together & Man of Tribes – was produced by Dennis Bovell.

Rainforth’s career in music and with Maximum Joy was cut short by a near fatal serious violent sexual attack from within her close professional circle. She first spoke about this publicly in an interview with the Guardian.
After a number of decades out of the music industry, Rainforth has slowly forged her way back into performing and recording, with her first solo music EP released back in 2014, then in 2015, she spearheaded the reforming of Maximum Joy to perform at Simple Things Festival with a new line-up. In 2019, under the name MXMJoY, she & Charlie Lewellin released ‘P.E.A.C.E.’ which received critical acclaim from media including Pitchfork, The Guardian and Crack among others. 

This is a reclaiming of the music for Rainforth and she is in the process of planning some live dates to incorporate her new solo album alongside her rich back catalogue.

Rome's Novembre are a band that has made a solid impression upon both the Death Metal and atmospheric Metal scenes with equally strong results. 

Ever since their inception, word about the group has spread among the underground scene on a worldwide basis. 

It was back in September 1990 when the two brothers Carmelo Orlando (guitars and vocals) and Giuseppe Orlando (drums) formed the band 'Catacomb'. 

In the fall of 1994 the band recorded their highly-acclaimed debut, 'Wish I Could Dream It Again...' in Dan Swano's Unisound Studios. This was right around the same time as other leaders of the initial atmospheric scene recorded their first and early albums, making Novembre among the first bands to pursue and develop this style. Several well-received albums followed, bringing Novembre to the fore-front of the atmospheric metal scene. 

Eventually Novembre came to the attention of legendary label, Peaceville Records. A label that traced a deep and binding mark on Novembre's song writing spine. 

Since the signing of the deal in 2004, the band locked themselves up in their garage to write their fifth and best album 'Materia' once again recorded in their Outer Sound Studios. The charge to give Materia the best sound Novembre has ever had was given to the Helsinki?s Finnvox Studios where the band recorded all the rhythm guitars and completed the final mix.
