Gothic Rockers Black Angel release their third studio album ‘Prince of Darkness’ on June 18th.

Following up from the previous well received album, ‘Kiss of Death’, the band embark on another gothic banger, a sure fire dance floor filler. The bands previous album ‘Kiss of Death’’ put the band firmly on the gothic rock map and one year later they are ready to do it again.

Pre-release sales have already put them at the top of Bandcamp‘s ‘Gothic Rock’, ‘Gothic’ and ‘Darkwave’ “most popular” genres.

The concept of this album is to take you on a journey. The record starts out with an introduction to set the tone and to put you in 10th century England. As our protagonist embarks on his pillage through the town we hear screams from the villagers as they run for their lives. Black Angel want to take you on a journey, away from the incessant ‘next’ track clicking of today’s streaming generation. To rejuvenate and promote the listener to the tactile experience of holding an album sleeve notes and reading the lyrics. Maybe to even sing along.

Black Angel proudly presents:

https://www.facebook.com/matt.vowles.75/videos/10226482871888961

Inspired by cinematic classics such as ‘Dracula’ (Gary Oldman 1992) and ‘Interview with a Vampire’ with contemporary inspiration on tracks like ‘Alive’ and ‘Give it to Me’ from the modern aristocratic sophisticated vampires in ‘Underworld’.

The record contains an equal sharing of traditional gothic rock richness, mostly uptempo tracks with their usual tip to the 80’s goth stars that came before them. Namely on this endeavor, we have, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cult, Gene loves Jezebel and The Damned.

To quote the band : ‘Picture England in 932 AD – a shadowy figure rides through the gate of the castle walls on his black steed – causing chaos and mischief wherever he goes’Prince of Darkness is available on CD and in digital format.

The band also has plans to release the album on blood red vinyl in the very near future. Black Angel will also be releasing a music video for the track ‘Alive’ from the new album at the same time – release date of Friday, June 18.

„SHIV-R has always presented well produced electronic music and maintained a buzz within the industrial music lexicon, and now shows continued growth, experimentation and originality.” – Ilker Yucel (ReGen Magazine)

There is a Zen teaching that if you meet God on the road, you must kill him. Kill God Ascend is the fifth full-length album from Australian electro-industrial band SHIV-R.

What the killing of God means to each listener will be a unique and personal revelation. In a world full of gatekeepers and figureheads whose only interest in you is to tell you what to do, illusions will need to be shed and those who profess to have all the answers will need to be confronted.

While not offering any answers, SHIV-R’s newest release comes with a statement courtesy of the album’s 6th track, „Empire.“ „I’m on my own path.  Get the fuck out of my way.“

For fans of: HOCICO, IAMX & MARILYN MANSON

Kill God Ascend buries any criticism that the band has gotten less heavy with the full-speed aggression of „Borne From Hate“ and the grinding power of title track, „Kill God Ascend“. Not only delivering heaviness, Pete Crane and Ben Bulig conjure emotively stirring pieces such as „Blue Turns to Black“ and „Valley of Death“ which incorporate acoustic instruments and modular synth experimentations. While „Spark“ and „Promises of Armageddon“ bring a melodic and memorable dimension to SHIV-R’s dark electronic style.

Since their debut album in 2010, Australian electro-industrial act SHIV-R have made an impact on the international dark alternative music scene and set themselves apart with a uniquely hard-hitting yet elegant sonic aesthetic. The group have toured extensively throughout over 20 countries including festivals in Europe and North America and have received heavy rotation on industrial dancefloors worldwide with their releases hitting number 1 on the DAC (German Alternative Charts) and top 10 in the GEWC (German Electronic Web Charts).

Over their five full-length albums and numerous EPs and singles to date, SHIV-R weave a dark, dynamic tapestry varying from the heavy electronic drive of international club staples „Eye of the Needle“ and „Pharmaceutical Grade“ to slower yet hauntingly captivating songs such as „Milk and Honey“ and „Blood Rose“.

SHIV-R’s members Pete Crane (vocals & music) and Ben Bulig (music) continue to push for musical evolution and self-expression, presenting their project with a provocatively dark, lace-filtered visual style, to create a result that is altogether monstrously seductive.

We’ve got a big project in the works for ebm/industrial act Unitcode:Machine.  The new single, „Fight“ and another to follow in July are in effort to prepare for the fall album which we’re very excited about. 

„Fight“ – Taken from the forthcoming Unitcode:Machine album, the tentatively titled, Themes for a Collapsing Empire

UNITCODE:MACHINE, the brainchild of Eric K, have been producing emotional and compelling music since 2000. With their first official release in 2004, UNITCODE:MACHINE established themselves as mix of multiple genres that inspire the group. Blending elements of EBM with industrial, synthpop, and many other styles, UNITCODE:MACHINE bring their unique perspective to electronic music.

Since the group’s inception, they have released their initial demo, a full-length album Brides, the Hallowmas E.P., various singles added to compilations and have written compositions for film and video.

This new release, Rituals is filled with the band’s brand of hard-hitting songs, electronic beats, synth melodies, un-melodic synth chaos and hook-laden, crushing guitars. It also showcases the longing, bleak, dismal yet aggressive lyrics and deliveries that the band has perfected. Colten Williams has topped everything off in the studio by producing an album that sounds crisp, heavy, and intense. The Rituals E.P. also marks the band’s return to writing & recording together after a 3-year hiatus, showing that they have violently shaken the dust and cobwebs off and have come out swinging.

Dark ambient act DRIFTING IN SILENCE has just unveiled their new and highly-anticipated album, False Awakening. With this new release, DRIFTIING IN SILENCE offers a deep contemplation of Carl Jung’s dream theories.

Across the album, a pulsing, rhythmic collage of field recordings and synthesizer pads lay the foundation for meditative strains of piano and guitar. These reveries on our primordial nature feel as familiar as a dream can be, like an alien we’re certain we’ve met before. This careful study of Jung’s theories is a profound collection of sonic textures that are at varying times reminiscent of Vangelis, Robert Rich, or Max Richter.

False Awakening is available on CD and cassette as well as digital download.

The calming ambience of “Myth of Memory” beguiles you into tranquility before the album slips down into the unknowable abstract. The enigmatic synthesizer of “Preconscious Mind” stutters forward as if trying to piece together the disparate parts of a dream. Meanwhile, “Unknown Archetype” practices the art of total fragmentation, the mellow piano scattered in a sonic storm of brooding synthesized pads. As the album reaches its close with “Silent Patterns” and “False Awakening,” a certain clarity is achieved, like the haze of a trance falling away. The journey through the unconscious achieves its zenith and DRIFTING IN SILENCE achieves a full portrait of what it feels like to dream.

This numinous reflection of our dreams is presented by Secret Press, a self-proclaimed nomadic record label home to a variety of high-quality ambient gems.

DRIFTING IN SILENCE is the name of a longstanding ambient project created in 2003 undertaken by multi-instrumentalist and composer Derrick Stembridge. Stembridge chose the name as “a description of the feeling evoked by the music,”. He intended to create the sensation of movement through regions of light and shadow.

About „World’s Collide“:
In the last year, especially in America, political divides drove wedges between families, destroyed friendships, marriages and communities. The combination of the panic and anxiety of the pandemic, coupled with a highly charged election season caused people who normally wouldn’t do so to take up arms (figuratively speaking) and become politically active. In many cases, people found suddenly their loved ones looked like strangers, or people they loved were suddenly political enemies because of how they voted or what they thought about masks  etc.

„Worlds Collide“ is a commentary on the impact of these political divides on everyday people’s lives.  We live in a world where everyone has their own little echo chambers on social media and are spending more time staring at screens than every before. The track raises the issue that this may not be a good thing and the emotionally charged nature of the country may be all be part of the plan. We need to be on the lookout for who is trying to make us think and how is just trying to make us mad.

About Derision Cult: The Derision Cult is an industrial metal project from Chicago Illinois. With caustic lyrics and increasingly noisy thrash guitars against a dystopian soundscape albums are a reflection of the times.  Fronted by Dave McAnally- the songs focus on themes of manipulation and media manipulation foisted on the public.  We live in an era where our news and our conversations aren’t meant to make us think, they’re meant to stir our emotions.

„with themes of self-reflection and emotional fragility, Venganza alternates between English and French amid melodic and atmospheric passages, offering proof of the project’s versatility and willingness to experiment beyond the confines of a single genre.“ – Ilker Yucel (ReGen Magazine)

Belgium based SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!! returns with their long-awaited debut album: Feral. The video for the song, „Sutura“ made its premiere on ReGen Magazine HERE.

SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!! unleashes twelve tracks of highly effective techno-infused body music inspired by retro 80s video game soundtracks. The album transports the listener through a unique vigorous ride of melancholic emotions, enhanced by deeply personal lyrics which deal about self-reflection, inner demons and emotional breakability.

Feral is filled with compelling dynamic tracks packed with infectious rhythms, catchy synth melodies, heavy beats, driving bass lines, ingenious sound samples, dark atmospheres, harsh and melodic vocals, that are harmoniously combined to create original soundscapes.

SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!! is the synthpunk/EBM/industrial project of frontman Jérémie Venganza, and is well known for their powerful energetic live performances. The band has performed in front of varied crowds and events in different places like Mexico, Japan AND Russia.

Feral is a diversified album continues on the path of the cold, somber and haunting tracks from SDP!!’s debut EP while continuing to expand its musical horizons. Feral contains complex, detail filled, fast tempo anthems or dark ballads alternating between futurepop or more anarchic industrial synthpunk tracks with numerous sound effects and elements that are harmoniously integrated in the music.

This album is proof once again that this project will refuse to be locked in one particular genre, only to suffocate there.

 
Feral  has been skillfully mixed and mastered by Hocico and Dulce Liquido mastermind Racso Agroyam at Liquido Labs. Racso also added some additional punch to the creations. “Frame” has been mixed by Krischan Wesenberg at Studio-600.

SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!! is a synthpunk/8bit/industrial project from Belgium. Jérémie Venganza who composes and sings all tracks, is a half-Belgian, half-Mexican artist working on electronic music for more than 15 years, and having been involved in many well-known futurepop/industrial/EBM projects as a live musician.
 
SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!!’s sound is a mix of different influences blended together without following any established rules or trying to appeal to just one specific audience, making it hard to categorize them. The varied influences include 80s retro gaming sounds, which help to create an original sound and style, pushing past the boundaries between genres.
 
SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!! released it’s first EP in October 2017, which included remixes by Assemblage23, Terrolokaust, Iszoloscope & WO††W. This EP received great reviews that praised the project for taking an original approach on electronic underground music, while at the same delivering powerful industrial-EBM songs for electro fans, and exploring emotionally heavy soundscapes.

The band has continued to deliver highly energetic live performances during the years in front of varied crowds, at many events in Europe, Mexico or Japan, sharing stages with different kind of acts such as:
Suicide Commando, Surgyn, Underviewer, Dive, Ambassador21, Alien Vampires, Centhron, State Of The Union, Torul, Alphamay, Elm, Pro-Patria, Larva, Nova-Spes, Schwarzschild, Alienare, Omodaka,. .

Toronto-based alternative/industrial band CARBON MARTYR has just unleashed their debut full-length album, A Soft Spot For The Broken.

A Soft Spot For The Broken: The underlying message revolves around mankind and technology. This manifests in a few different ways, from thoughts of a future where we become over-dependent on technology, to simpler ideas like social media addiction, information manipulation and group identity trends.

The album also explores some spiritual questions relating to our constantly changing relationship with the world around us.

A Soft Spot For The Broken is available in digital format.

For fans of: KMFDM, NIN & CHEMLAB

CARBON MARTYR is an industrial/alternative music project created by Jake Hamilton in 2020. Hamilton is the only official member but recruits a live band for stage performances. CARBON MARTYR’s music combines old school analogue with modern technology to create a unique listener experience. Lyrically Hamilton takes the audience on a journey to a place where questions of spiritualism, mental health and what it means to be human clash with a future increasingly dependent on technology and machines.

Electro-Industrial band MICROWAVED has just unleashed their new EP, Save Me. The video for the title track featuring BOW EVER DOWN made its premiere on ReGen Magazine HERE.

The EP contains 16 tracks, 14 of which will be available on streaming platforms June 12th. The Bandcamp release will contain two bonus tracks: a collaboration with LIEBCHEN on a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” and an additional remix from the talented and outstanding remix artist Steven Olaf.

Save Me refers to the album’s theme of loss.  Gabe Wilkinson, the founder of MICROWAVED says: „All of my songs seem to be about loss, addiction or monsters. These songs fall into the loss of love category. This record for me is also about taking these songs and expanding my musical vocabulary. It’s about stretching some mental muscles and playing with ideas I may not have been very comfortable with.“

For fans of: NIN, MINISTRY, SKINNY

MICROWAVED’s latest release Save Me sees the band collaborating with Kimberley of BOW EVER DOWN, Nathan of milkfixer and Mitch of DOOMSLAYER each lending their unique vocal talents to MICROWAVED’s cold wave creations. Save Me also has many different remixes from varying artists starting with pilgrimOmega (keyboard player for MONSTER VOODOO MACHINE) to I YA TOYAH and SPANKTHENUN plus many of the friends that founder Gabe Wilkinson has made through the years

MICROWAVED started as an outlet for Gabe Wilkinson while he was playing in other bands. It’s something that was different than what he was getting from playing in metal bands as a keyboard/sampler. Taken from the name of a Pitchshifter song, MICROWAVED was born.

Wilkinson has had an extensive career in the music industry, doing everything from playing shows and writing music to booking clubs and writing for various music magazines since the early 90’s. Throughout his tenure in the industry, Wilkinson has managed to play with bands like Slipknot, Mudvayne, Combichrist, Hate Dept., Sister Machine Gun, Cattle Decapitation, System of a Down and countless national, regional and local bands.

Gabe Wilkinson will take MICROWAVED and continue to produce music and put out the best he absolutely can, sharing his vision of love, death, sex, addiction, horror and loss.

Dark electronic artist MICHAEL HAGGERTY has unveiled his personal tribute to goth rock bands of the 80s. “And There Was War” is a  letter to these artists and is the first single from Michael Haggerty’s upcoming album.

Now on the verge of a milestone, Michael’s decade-long outing as Krebs appears to be ending. This is bittersweet for Mr. Haggerty as he releases his newest single, which also marks his departure from the Krebs pseudonym.

„And There Was War“ is out now for purchase and streaming on all digital retailers.  The full-length album release date is yet to come via Machine Man Records.

Glasgow based darkwave/post-punk duo Hanging Freud have just unveiled their sixth full-length album Persona Normal. The band states:      „We were living between the UK and Brazil, going back and forth. These were two societies going through extreme change. The whole world was changing in a way that felt scary.“

Some themes of Persona Normal deal with detachment, dissociation, what it means to be human, political issues and about strong, irrational cults. These are approached in tracks like “I beg you” and “We don’t want to sleep”. Persona Normal is also a record about transformation, and growth, accepting losses and coming to terms with the loss of innocence.

Persona Normal is available now in physical and digital formats on HANGING FREUD’s label, Tiny Box. Persona Normal was written produced and recorded by the duo with mastering duties from James Plotkin (Khanate).

For fans of: THE CURE, COCTEAU TWINS & CRANES

HANGING FREUD’s new record Persona Normal sees a progressive change with more urgency and directness in sound and while maintaining a synth/drum machine approach. The album moves the duo into a new post punk, krautrock and art rock direction rather than the more emotive, goth inspired leanings of their previous record Nowhere.

HANGING FREUD is a Glasgow based production duo of Paula Borges and Jonathan Skinner. As a duo they combine their somewhat nomadic past with multicultural backgrounds of coming from Sao Paulo (Brazil) and London (UK), into a body of work that is more often than not described as uncompromising and genre defying.

Throughout their career, HANGING FREUD have played around with all sorts of sounds with structures ranging from straightforward melodic verse chorus verse to claustrophobic, dense, ambient workouts, cold minimalism and repetition.

HANGING FRUED themes approach dark multilayered subjects. It’s contradictory, emotional and aims to combine sound and lyric as one.

They run their own imprint Tiny Box which homes all HANGING FREUD and additional solo projects.

Who the fxck is ALIZ …?
Wenn Metallica und Massive Attack ein Kindhätten, dann wäre das wohl I Am ALIZ. Nach der Veröffentlichung seines letzten deutschsprachigen Albums „iSTAR : Durch die Nacht“ hat sich Amandas Nadel entschlossen
sich ganz neu zu orientieren und der deutschen Sprache einstweilen den Rücken zu kehren.
Das Ergebnis „DEAD : Seals Of Separation“ ist englischsprachiger Industrial, den man wohl zurecht eine sehr gelungene Amalgamation aus
Metal in bester Tradition des „Black Album“ und
der eklektischen Schwere der Bristol-Ikone der
1990er Jahre nennen kann.

Energetische Gitarren-Riffs, inspiriert von Metallica und zeitgenössischen Djent-Größen wie Periphery mischen sich mit Trip-Hop#artigen Beats und elektronischen Elementen zu einer ganz eigenen und authentischen Form des Industrial-Metal, der sich selbst aber nie Grenzen setzt
und ganz im Stile Steven Wilsons zuletzt auch ganz ungeniert sensible Rock-Töne anschlägt.
Anyway … Amandas is at his best when he´s Aliz.

Seit seinem Debütalbum „Sticht“ 2015 ist viel Zeit vergangen. Amandas hat eine erstaunlicheb Persönlichkeitsveränderung vollzogen. Vom
bärtigen „Haudrauf“ zum fast fragilen Mädchenjungen. Ja. Das hat einen Hintergrund.
Amandas ist Transgender. Er definiert sich selbst als „non-binary“, als beiden oder keinem Geschlecht zugehörig und möchte das – nach jahrelangem inneren Kampf und enormem Druck und Ablehnung durch Familie und Gesellschaft – auch nach Außen klar darstellen und vertreten.
Den Namen Amandas hat er schon 2007 in Anspielung an seine non-binary-Selbst-Definition bewusst gewählt. Amanda mit S.

Ein Mann und eine Frau, die immer beides sind.

Hart und weich, Feuer und Wasser, sanft und brutal, verspielt und „in your face“.
Ein quadruple Bourbon-Espresso mit roten Haaren … und einem Stück Zucker.

DEAD
Seals:Of:Separation
8 Songs, die sich in ihrer Unterschiedlichkeit
alle mit dem Thema Trennung beschäftigen.
Mit den unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten wie
sich Separation etwa physisch, ideell,
psychisch oder geografisch ausdrücken kann
Release Datum 13.06.2021

The I In You

Der erste Song The I In You befasst sich daher mit Narzissmus. Radikaler
Egoismus, der unweigerlich zu einer Separation vom Kollektiv und zum nächsten Individuum führt, da sich jeder selbst der wichtigste ist. Empathie, Mitgefühl, aufeinander zu Gehen, authentisches aufeinander Eingehen ist von diesem Standpunkt der Separation kaum mehr möglich. Manipulation. Ich-Zentriertheit.
Toxizität. Gaslighting.

Hypocrisy

„Wasser predigen, Wein trinken“ – die Separation vom eigenen Glaubenskonstrukt und dessen was man selbst „predigt“ und im selben Moment auch von denen, DENEN man es predigt.

Devil On The Run (Single Release 06.06.2021)

Ein Song, der sich dem Eskapismus widmet, in
dem der Realitäts-Flüchtige als ein Teufel auf der
Flucht porträtiert ist, der seiner eigenen Hölle zu
entfliehen sucht.
Mit allen ihm zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln.
Die Separation von dem was ist. Die Wirklichkeit.
Die Unfähigkeit sich der Realität zu stellen ohne
sie sich „schön trinken“ zu müssen. Der Circulus
Vitiosus. Die 6.
Einmal gefangen, immer gehangen.
Dante´s Inferno.

Reinhören: 

Bleed My Heart

Jemand, der sich seine eigene Liebe nicht eingestehen will, weil er aus
narzisstischem Kontrollzwang Liebe als Schwäche versteht. Er lässt damit in einem Zustand von Separation von seinem eigenen Inneren sein eigenes Herz und das des geliebten Menschen bluten.

Alienation

Entfremdung. Was kann man mehr sagen? Separation von etwas oder jemandem der oder das vertraut und geliebt war und nicht mehr ist.
Gewidmet all den geliebten Menschen und Freunden über Jahrzehnte, die
gegangen sind.
Enttäuschung.

Dead (Title Track)

Metaphorisch die Vollendung der Separation. Der Tod. Die 13.
Im spezifischen widmet sich dieser Song der Vollendung der Entfremdung. „Du bist für mich gestorben.“ Unwiederbringlicher Abbruch von menschlicher Beziehung.
Physisch, ideell und metaphorisch.

Seal

Die Trennung als Teil der Wirklichkeit verstehen. Ein schmerzvolles Kapitel hinter sich lassen. Die Separation annehmen, Abschied nehmen und schließlich einen neuen positiven Ausblick auf die Zukunft gewinnen.
Ein Zustand der Separation vom alten, das vergangen ist und gleichzeitig vom
neuen, das noch nicht ist.

Sparkling Eyes (Надежда)

Separation vom/von der Geliebten, vom Objekt der Begierde, von dem oder dessen was man begehrt, ersehnt, erträumt, erwünscht.
(Gedicht-Exzerpt im Intro: John Keats „Oh, Einsamkeit!“)
Ein Zustand der Hoffnung (russ: Nadjeschda) und zugleich eine Ode an die Liebe.
In Liebe gewidmet der Frau, die diesen Namen trägt.

Following the release of the first new single, ‚All That Is True Dies‘ in April, HALLOWS now finally present their full-length debut album ‚All That Is True‘ on June 4th, 2021.

After their five-song EP, ‚Subtle‘, ‚All That Is True‘ sees HALLOWS drastically grow as a band. The album witnesses the duo explore deeper into sound design and atmosphere, taking risks and unorthodox approaches to their home-base of darkwave/post-punk. With the flair of Seattle producer Aaron C. Schroeder, All That Is True displays HALLOWS‘ growing maturity as a band and their desire to explore further into their genre, while pulling influence from an eclectic array of music and art.

While Subtle explored longing, loneliness, and sadness, ‚All That Is True‘ explores themes of searching for a purpose, coming to terms with loss, and garnering the strength to face adversity. The album was written mostly during times of unrest in Seattle (and the world) where both V and D witnessed the brutality of oppression first hand. These experiences served as inspiration for much of this output, pouring out angst, rebellion, and the drive to march towards a brighter future. Though the album is not explicitly political, it explores the emotional journey of existing in an unjust world.

Influences for this record include Mogwai, TR/ST, Houses of Heaven, House of Harm, Massive Attack, Lust For Youth, Traitrs.

About HALLOWS

HALLOWS is  duo consisting of Vanee D. and Dom R. started in Minneapolis in 2018, migrated to Seattle. The band explores themes of unease and loneliness in their music, staying true to the darkwave/post-punk genre while incorporating influences from various other genres and art forms.

Hallows is :
Vanee D.  – Synth, Bass, Vocals
Dom R.  – Synth, Guitar, Drum Programming, Vocals

Monument Prázdnoty (Eng: Monument of Emptiness) is the debut album from Czech post, doom metal band Indrid Cold. The word emptiness means: “The field of boundless emptiness is what exists from the very beginning. You must purify, cure, grind down, or brush away all the tendencies you have fabricated into apparent habits. Then you can reside in a clear circle of brightness. Utter emptiness has no image. Upright independence does not rely on anything. Just expand and illuminate the original truth unconcerned by external conditions.

Accordingly, we are told to realize that not a single thing exists. In this field birth and death do not appear. The deep source, transparent down to the bottom, can radiantly shine and can respond unencumbered to each speck of dust [each object] without becoming its partner. The subtlety of seeing and hearing transcends mere colors and sounds. The whole affair functions without leaving traces and mirrors without obscurations.“

The Familiar is a tongue-in-cheek expose on a culture of regurgitation that dominates the music industry in today’s algorithmic landscape which rewards conformity over originality.

Lyrics:
Everything you do and say
Leftovers from yesterday
Replicating the mainstays
Still don’t get ya paid

Can’t you hear what I’m saying
I’m breaking your malaise
I’m bringing forth new days
It spells out your decay
You’ll offer me false praise

Crushing with Cacophony
Drowning mediocrity
We are here now
Rotten pool of luxury
Pissing in your stagnant stream
A fountain of tears
Forty two years

Painting all your flowers grey
Cowardice keeps you this way
Mimicking the way they played
Might just get you laid
Something new is heresy
Silencing your mockery
Destroy insincerity
Who cares anyway

We all see you’re an imitation, a copy
We can see all your limitations, your obsolete

The Awakening’s 10th album „This Alchemy“ will officially release next week. The album features 10 new original compositions, along with a powerful rendition of the Alphaville classic “A Victory Of Love.”

Nyte says about the first single from the album:

“Zero Down is about the posthumous exploitation of ‘rockstars’ – something that has been happening since the dawn of rock ’n roll. It’s a song I wrote many years ago, and I am delighted to finally share it with the world, in all of its irreverent reverence.”

Based in the U.S., The Awakening is a musical project born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in the late ’90s. Ashton Nyte has released seven critically acclaimed solo albums and has collaborated on various projects with members of The Cure, The Mission, Bauhaus, and many more. „This Alchemy“ follows less than a year after frontman Ashton Nyte released his solo album and book of poetry and short stories, Waiting For A Voice.

“I think the 36-date European tour I completed with Wayne Hussey in late 2019 re-ignited my drive to create more art and stay connected with those who kindly support my work. This Alchemy is, in many ways, a new creative chapter for The Awakening. It occupies a different space to both „Waiting For A Voice“ and „Chasm“ which I think satisfies the growth and diversity essential for an artist,” says Nyte of the new release.

The dark disco teenage trio from Jakarta, Camlann, return with an album titled Circa 1983. Circa 1983 becomes Camlann’s second album after releasing its first album, The Forgotten Lost Fragments. Previously, Camlann introduced the singles „1983“, „Give Me Light“, and „I’m Nobody“ which were part of their second album. The album was produced by Pedro Code (IAMTHESHADOW, The Dream Collision, Rainy Days Factory), a darkwave musician from Portugal.

Fauzan Pratama, as the composer and synth player of Camlann explained how Circa 1983 was the result of their imagination. “Camlann aims to present our own interpretation of the past with modern nostalgia. In this album we want to invite listeners to our interpretation of Jakarta in 1983″. Through Circa 1983, Camlann reminisced about a time they had never been through, of which they haven’t even born yet. „Here, we are trying to make fiction that can relate to many people. So you can dedicate the songs in Circa 1983 to anyone you want. All the lyrics came from our imagination, as neutral as possible but nostalgic and relatable for everyone”.

This purpose inspired the music Camlann created in Circa 1983. While their first album focused on the gloomy darkwave influence, this time they grew bored and tried to get out of their comfort zone. Camlann combines various genres that represents the 80s, such as new wave, disco, and city pop. With a wide range of music, from Depeche Mode, Xmal Deutschland, Alphaville, Donna Summer, to Junko Ohashi, Camlann dared to call themselves a dark disco group. As the result, Circa 1983 was born as a unique mixture between 80’s new wave, disco, and synth-pop with a solid touch of modern darkwave to it. These influences were well mixed in the ten tracks on this album.

About CAMLANN

Camlann is a teen alternative Neo-Goth band from Jakarta, Indonesia with Ony Godfrey as the guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Bayu Triyudanto as the bassist, and Fauzan Pratama as the synth player and composer. They also have their own producer, Chariszan and Arachne, who’s also their co. songwriter.

Camlann was formed in early 2019 as a personal project of Ony Godfrey and Zanetta Bangun (Chariszan) when they were 15 years old. After going through personnel changes, Ony met Fauzan Pratama when the two of them joined the science olympiad program. Fauzan then introduced Ony to Bayu Triyudanto, who made Camlann a very solid youth music group. Camlann received help from Zanetta Bangun, who was Ony’s senior when they were in junior high school, for their creative process.

For Camlann, Circa 1983 is an album that best describes who they are. Camlann is trying to break away from the ‚gothic‘ label they have clung to and this album is the first step in their adventure. They try to play whatever they want without thinking about the frills of the genre. „We are sure that if we are not honest with our music, the result will not have any feeling,“ said Ony. With their young age, Camlann have extraordinary musical potential and abilities, making them a unit worth listening to.

They released their first EP, “The Arrival”, in August 2019. On May, 2020, Camlann released their single, „To Vatican“, which is a single from their current 10 tracks album, „The Forgotten Lost Fragments“. Their new album „Circa 1983“ will be released in the first half of 2021.
