Mr. Slugg and the Legion of Doom haunted the “East Side” of Providence R.I. From 1986 to cerca 2003 , practicing in a top floor apartment space in fox point, literally filled to the ceiling with empty, white, beer cans that read; "generic beer" as that was the easiest to steel off the back of anhiser busch trucks that delivered snacks to store 24 on thayer each morning. The room dubbed; "The Dead Room" the band was four to seven members then and drug/alcohol induced industrial was what we where doing. Literally ejected by some clubs and cautiously hired by others. Our devotion to being the most disruptive band in town was beginning to byte us in the ass. We would ride the crest of UN-popular music as the band dwindled dew to alcoholism, drug addiction and miss-direction. finally there was Mr. Slugg and Chicken Chuck left. they were the majority of anything coherently recorded. From the first recordings at "Danger Tracks" and Planet Earth Studios" to later,  Mr. Slugg living room studio this is the best of a very under rated and infinitely creative duo. 

Mr .Slugg and the Legion of Doom R.I.P.

Your music fits my film like a nice, tight, studded leather glove. 
Richard Griffin film director for Titus Andronicus 

Given adequate production, this duos skewered approach to morbid industrial-psychodelic pop could garner a larger (and better deserved) following than White Zombie. Combining The Jesus and Mary Chains Goth-surf swagger and Nine Inch Nails robot mutiny rhythms might not sound like a match made in heaven, but in the hands of Mr. Slugg and company, the results are potent

Deep Electronic Riffs. Mr. Slugg and the Legion of Doom are back with a new release. Bassist, guitarist and singer Mr.Slugg, singer, Chicken Chuck, and new rocker "Thee Devil" or so he asks to be called, says Mr. Slugg-are a puzzler's paradise. The Providence bands third full- length, Dreams Like These, is a welcome web of electronic music and onerous thoughts. Like Ministry, Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson, the band knows that we thirst for industrial metal and deep electronic riffs, music that moves a club of the like-minded Or that you can scream aloud at home. On such songs as Eve and 0110, it exploits music technology to fasten a point, that trends may wane but don't die: Goth-culture, collective or solo, still reigns.
Vaughn Watson Providence Journal Live Dec. 6, 2001


Mr. Slugg has not yet left the blasted landscape trod upon by Nick Cave & Trent Reznor. Cheers to him for sticking to his nightmarish, gothic roots, abetted here by long-lost cohort Chicken Chuck. If Mr. Slugg is ever loosed in a studio with the guys from E.B.N. We' ll have the sonic equivalent of ten-inch nails driven soul-deep. Mr. Slugg is determined to keep the lost faith, driving ominous, self-made 4-track observations like You look so good in Gassoline directly through our skulls.

Mr. Slugg and the Legion of Doom, Dreams Like These. Of course, it isn't pop. More like un-pop. Mr. Slugg and the Legion of Doom, which currently features Mr. Slugg, guitars. Chicken Chuck and new singer Thee Devil, is back with some admittedly un-pretty music, nu-goth synth-rock for black-eyed people. Their second full length, Dreams Like These, is infinitely better than their last disk, with richer textures, more skilled performances, and slightly higher fidelity. The title cut pivots on some searing licks and dueling vocals. Thee Devil proves an admirable foil to the nightmarish Slugg, with a throaty, intimidating style that injects the mix with even more evil sounds. At times as on Sour Apples. The band sounds like Pornography-era Cure, with eerie, plodding, sparesly arranged craft. An unidentified female voice graces the uncharacteristically pretty Everywhere. Elsewhere, when the band picks up the beat to a nearly danceable point Comfort, they resonate with a Bauhaus-meets early Depech mode rhythm thing. Clearly, the band loves the sound of their synthesizer, the thwak- thwak-ping of a drum machine, and the way an electric guitar can slice across those textures like a knife through skin. Fun and creatively executed.

They're ba-ack! And each time they return they sound twice as good as the time before. This is good news for local goth fans, 'cuz on the new Paramecium Circus, Mr. Slugg and his fun bunch is beginning to sound like they're ready for a national audience. Sure, it's still blurred deep in night black electronic goth-pop, heavily synth-bassed with eerie, surrealistic vocals. But the songs are more sophisticated this time out, with abundant melody, better hooks, and thoughtful arrangements. Where their last album and all music previous to this was antiquated in a charming way---Stuck in a big puddle of Mud!---Paramecium Circus finds the band moving forwards for the first time. With the big drum sound, vocal loops, and Slugg's destorted guitars, it seems like the group turned on the radio and heard something they liked. It's one thing to be faithful to your roots but it's another thing altogether to be your roots. On Paramecium Circus, Mr. Slugg and the Legion of Doom have moved away from the latter and inched ever closer to a relivant future.

Growing up in Kiev, Lana’s creative options were limited, albeit her love of music was insatiable. Over time, Lana became exposed to western musicians such as Björk, Air, Marianne Faithful, Joni Mitchell and Portishead via friends who were travelling in Europe and America. Discouraged with the artificialness of the Ukrainian recording industry, where she was quickly becoming popular, Lana swiftly left home and headed for New York where the gentle and earnest songwriting she penned would have a proper home.

Lana got her chance when producer Andy Chase fell under her spell upon hearing a few songs she recorded in a home studio. A year later, the LP was complete. Lana Mir is bursting with airy pop songs such as “Tears Are Not Enough,” while the Tracey Thorn-esque “Return” takes its cues from Lana’s appreciation of jazz.  Lana’s passion for Brazilian music from artist’s such as Astrud Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim, and her years of experience playing the jazz circuit in New York shines beautifully on the bossa nova-tinged, “Goodbye Girl.” On songs like “Summertime” and “Say You Need Me,” Lana’s sultry voice and subdued sensuality combined with Chase’s warm, gauzy production creates a fitting home for Lana’s organic blend of contemporary and vintage 60s-style pop – much like Serge Gainsbourg achieved in the songs of Françoise Hardy. Lana pours herself into the hushed minimalism of “These Days” and her wistful voice floats on the shimmering “We Started Something.” 

As A man I like to think of myself as confident. I'm a very humble man. I understand that there's a time to give and be loving and understanding. I have a good heart and can provide you with the best moments of your life, without expecting anything in return. I am optimistic, yet sensible and understanding. I am trustworthy, loyal, and faithful. I enjoy fishing, going to the movies, or just spending romatic time with my companion.

Nero Moderno - Lune di Collera (EP - 30 Luglio 2012)
New EP - coming soon (2013)

I Nero Moderno nascono nel 2010 a Fragagnano, un piccolo comune della Puglia, in Provincia di Taranto. Fin da subito le idee sono tante e varie, le influenze musicali anche. Inizialmente si tratta di una formazione a cinque, dopo circa due mesi, però, il progetto si afferma e diventano quattro: Luca (voce), Alessandro (chitarre), Gennaro (basso), Dario (tastiere, synth). L'idea di rinunciare alla
classica batteria permetterà al quartetto tarantino di intraprendere una strada differente e molto personale, caratterizzata sostanzialmente da un sound oscuro e ossessivo, evocando l'underground degli Anni Ottanta in tema di New Wave, Dark e Post Punk. Dopo un anno, tornano in formazione originale con Alberto alla batteria, scelta quest'ultima, dettata dalle continue ricerche delle sonorità e dei continui mutamenti del gruppo.
Dopo le numerose apparizioni in festival e contest al livello nazionale, fra i quali è evidente la partecipazione al "Gothic Room Festival" organizzato da Darkitalia, decidono di mettersi in gioco entrando in studio a registrare il primissimo EP, dopo solo sei mesi di attività. L'uscita è prevista nel corso del 2012. Oggi, la band è interessata in un Tour che li vedrà alternarsi sui palchi della Puglia e delle altre regioni italiane, al fianco di gruppi già parecchio affermati (opening act per Diaframma (28/03/2012) Soviet Soviet (24/11/2012) ), proponendo uno spettacolo autentico e contemporaneamente fedele alla scena Rock che ha visto come protagonisti personaggi come Ian Curtis, Peter Murphy e Iggy Pop, solo per citarne alcuni.

Nero Moderno was born in 2010 in Fragagnano, a small town in Puglia, near Taranto. Right now the ideas are many and varied musical influences too. Initially it is a formation of five, after about two months, however, the project will become four, and says: Luca (vocals), Alessandro (guitar), Gennaro (bass), Dario (keyboards, synth). The idea of giving up the classic drum, will allow the quartet to take a different route and very personal, essentially characterized by a dark and haunting sound, evoking the underground of the 80's in terms of New Wave, Post Punk and Dark. After a year, return to the original lineup with Alberto on drums, the latter choice, dictated by the continuous sound of research and continuous changes of the group.
After many appearances in festivals and contests at the national level, among which there is an obvious participation in the "Gothic Room Festival" organized by Darkitalia, they decide to get in the game going into the studio to record the very first demo, after only six months of activity. The release is scheduled during 2012. Today, the band is interested in a tour which will see them on alternating stages of Puglia and other Italian cities, alongside long-established groups already (opening act for Diaframma on 28.03.2012), offering a spectacle at once authentic and faithful to the scene that saw Rock starring the likes of Ian Curtis, Peter Murphy and Iggy Pop, just to name a few.

It is under the name of Digital Mechanics that Julien Gilles (ex--Deeju) living in Liège / Belgium returns to its puppy love: the pure electronic music.
Born at the end of the 70s, he is rocked by the sounds of the more and more present synthesizers in this time but it is to the guitar that he turns at first then begins to mix at the age of 17 with his friend Seb' L with whom he organizes numerous evenings (Electronic Philosophy / Sweety Soundz / Natural Beatz / Tech-House Revolution) and this made to known little by little … He begins to play in various more known evenings, clubs and festivals..
The past it is good but the present and the future it is better!!!
This is why after a long break, he decides to return to the studio and is going to try via his productions to make you feel the very particular way he like the music.
Of very eclectic nature, we find many influences and mixtures of styles in these compositions but always remain faithful to the energy.

Forming a dark horizon as part of the musical landscape in 1999, meltgsnow (pronounced Melting Snow) stood out in the Asian Goth-Metal scene with their dark, progressive and intense approach to metal. With their evolution emerged a unique sound - a melody infused with an aggressive dark rhythm and intense vocals.

Their 2003 debut album Insanity, released by Sonic Wave Records, sparked rave reviews and led to a successful tour in the United States. Known for their live intensity and wild antics on stage, meltgsnow garnered a faithful following in Australia, Thailand and Singapore.

Another series of tours ensued in 2002 with the band jet-setting to the US West Coast, starting in Tucson, Arizona.

In late 2009, meltgsnow finally returned to the studio in Bangkok to record their highly-anticipated album Black Penance, which was released in mid-2010 under Pulverized Records. The album’s first single Empty Sky, received airplay on Australia, Thailand and Singapore radio stations bolstered with good reviews from fans and local media.

The launch was followed by a planned six-month tour in 2010, starting at home at the Baybeats, Singapore’s biggest music festival and after two weeks of touring Australia, the band ended their successful tour being named one of the anchor bands at Australia’s largest metal festival Sonic Forge in Melbourne.

Since then, meltgsnow continued touring and promoting their brand of music in Asia.

In 2012, the band split ways with vocalist Lord Insanity and have since gone through many line-up changes.

Now, with the original line-up of year 2000 congregating and based in Bangkok, Thailand, meltgsnow has reunited and has plans to tour in 2017 and will return to the studio to record their next album.
