He went on to establish himself at club nights all over Paris before become resident DJ at Maxim"s. His stints in charge of music direction for the runway shows of Eric Bergere and Paul & Joe added an extra dimension to his repertoire, giving him the chance to work in the milieu of fashion. After the considerable success of his Maxim"s and Elite (Pschent) compilations, which would launch him on a global itinerary through London, Tokyo, New York, Moscow, Marrakech, and Berlin (where he shared top billing with Kevin Saunderson), Felix decided to focus on his own production. The creation of his own label, OUZZ PRODUCTIONS, posed many challenges for him to meet head-on, not least writing, composing, and singing. [Lastfm] |

Samsas Traum (D)  | Genre: Gothic, Darkwave, Gothic Metal, German, Avantgarde
"Samsas Traum" was evoked in 1996 by Alexander Kaschte as solo-project, resulting from his incapability of working together with other musicians. Having performed as vocalist and guitarist in several Black-, Death-, Doom- and Melodic-Metal-Bands before, he decided to walk his own paths, to step forward into the wide fields of darker electronic and neoclassical music. The first demo-tape "Nostalgische Atavismen" sold more than 500 copies in the worldwide underground, slowly spreading the news that "Samsas Traum" someday might become more than a very strange little band with even stranger german vocals. After recording and releasing two more demo- and promo-tapes, the band signed their record deal with "Trisol Music Group Germany" (London After Midnight, Sopor Aeternus, L" me Immortelle) on the 1st of march 1999, exactly three years after the bands foundation. The chief-manager of "Trisol" got to know about "Samsas Traum" randomly; he was phoning "Orkus Magazine" concerning adverts, and the person in charge listened to the bands" latest promo-release while talking to him.

Kirlian Camera (I)  | Genre: Darkwave, Industrial, Electronic, Gothic, Neofolk
Kirlian Camera was founded by the keyboardist/vocalist Angelo Bergamini in Parma (Italy) in Spring 1980. The band really was born in 1979, called Suicide Commando, but this name was dropped for the existance of a namesake band. So, when Bergamini started to interest to paranormal phenomena, he knew about a special device invented by Semion Kirlian to take photos of the aura of the human body and from this took the name of the group, suggested by Mauro Montacchini. Other initial components of the band were the keyboardist Fabrizio Chiari and the bassist Mauro Montacchini. In 1980 the singer Simona Buja joined the band and the group was completed. The first live apparition was in 1980 at Teatro Cristallo in Milan (Italy). Considered the Fathers of the Italian Electronic Music, the long career of Kirlian Camera started recording and sending 25 copies of the Dawn tape to the main Italian labels. Contemporary, Montacchini left the band and he was replaced by Giorgio Vecchi. So the band records the first miniLP Kirlian Camera, released by Italian Records. New changes of line-up in 1982: Fabrizio Chiari left the band to join East Wall, and his substitute is the polistrumentist Paul Sears, while Bruno Bizzarri replaced Vecchi. Meanwhile some records for various labels follow (note that Passing Masks was released under the name of Simona Buja because the band was still contracted with Italian Records) and finally the first full-length LP, It Doesn"t Matter, Now, from which will be out two singles.

Brendan Perry (IRL)  | Genre: Ethereal, Ambient, Singer-songwriter, Gothic, New Age
Brendan Perry was half of one of the most successful and enduring acts in 4AD"s history: Dead Can Dance. He spent 16 years searching the world for meaning and knowledge through music in partnership with Lisa Gerrard, then turned his attention to a solo record which would continue this exploration. Although Eye Of The Hunter was released in October 1999, Brendan began work on the album while Dead Can Dance were still active - the idea was inspired, in part, by his incredible solo performance during 4AD"s 13 Year Itch celebrations at the ICA in 1993. Boasting lush production sensibilities and a boundary-defying spirit, Eye Of The Hunter offered an immediate familiarity to fans of Dead Can Dance"s unique soundworld. But there were difference in the manner the music was made, and also how it was presented. Though Dead Can Dance employed vocals, the duo"s goal was to express emotions beyond language. Their recording process was also open to improvisation, Brendan and Lisa letting the music lead them to its destination. In contrast, Eye Of The Hunter"s vignettes were written - crafted - using a more traditional singer / songwriter process. The music, centered around Brendans thoughtful and restrained guitar playing, provided a backdrop for his deep, gentle vocals. And while much of Dead Can Dance"s work eluded categorisation, Brendan embraced it, making a folk record in the truest sense: these songs - each one its own story but each also contributing to an overall theme - were rooted in his life experiences.

Genitorturers  | Genre: Industrial, Industrial Metal, Female Vocalists, Metal, Gothic
BIO 2010~ From the official www.genitorturers.com "Renowned for their status as agents provocateur of the underground hard rock and industrial metal scenes, the latex defining and pop-culture defying Genitorturers return with their new release Blackheart Revolution [G-Force/MVD Entertainment]. The outfit's fifth studio release, Blackheart Revolution is a mesmerizing blend of infectious riffs and riotous overtures that lay the sexually-charged foundation for frontwoman Gen, the master of turbo-charged ceremonies and erotic rituals. "We wanted to make a big rock record that translates the same excitement I felt when I heard AC/DC's Highway to Hell for the first time, combined with the dark intrigue of Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare," says Gen of the new release. "We wanted something that shakes the walls, grabs you by the balls, and scares you a bit in the process!" Mission accomplished, as Blackheart Revolution combines the band's signature, genre-bending style of aggressive rock, seductive metal and underground electric pop. Co-Produced by David "Evil D" Vincent and Scott Humphrey , the album is a roller coaster ride of musical twists, sonic turns and reckless abandon. A product of Orlando, Florida's musical underbelly, what Genitorturers lack in wholesome family fun, they make up for in their celebration of the unspeakable, embracing and exploring our conservative culture's taboos. They caught the ear (and eye) of legendary music industry magnate Miles Copeland, who signed the band to their first deal on his I.R.S. label, where they joined the ranks of fellow Copeland signings Gary Numan, The Go-Gos and R.E.M.

Rose Rovine E Amanti (I)  | Genre: Neofolk, Neoclassical, Apocalyptic Folk, Martial Industrial, Dark Folk
Rose Rovine E Amanti is a musical project based in Rome lead by Damiano Mercuri aided by Noemi York Christian Valente and Giuseppe Lorenzoni. The sound has changed through the years from a pure neo-folk to a wider range of sounds. The music is a brilliant mixture of acoustic neofolk-rock with some bitter songwirtin' tunes. To describe their music we could mention artists like: Sol Invictus, And Also The Trees, David Bowie, Lucio Battisti, Leonard Cohen, Death In June & Current 93 and Jacques Brel style, all reinforced by a Mediterranean taste. The music is inspired by religious visions of the medieval Catholic Europa to cabaret grotesque pieces to human madness all explored with an inner spiritual strength.

Like classic Thrash Decadence plays with the intensity and speed but we adding melodic art and technicality to their genre which they call Melodic Thrash Metal. Melodic Thrash Metal is like the bridge where Thrash and Melodic Death meet. This genre can be described as Thrash Metal with the heaviness of melodic Death Metal without keyboards. An addition of extreme, aggressive female vocals and growl techniques as well as Thrash Metal screams is added to the mix. The combination of these effects along with the new touch of Thrash Metal gives a specific sound which is what defines Decadence. [Lastfm] |

Insomnium (FIN)  | Genre: Melodic Death Metal, Death Metal, Finnish, Metal, Finnish Metal
Insomnium is a melodic death metal band from Joensuu, Finland. Their lyrics often deal with subjects such as sorrow, death, and loss. Biography Insomnium began to take shape during the bleak spring of 1997. In a quiet town of Joensuu, located in the easternmost part of Finland, four young men were forming a fierce metal band. From the beginning it was clear that this band would make music that was brutal and yet melodic, full of contrasts and changing atmospheres. They took what they regarded as the best aspects of their favourite bands and molded these influences into a new kind of entity. The result was the marriage of melodic Scandinavian death metal and traditional Finnish tunes. Lyrics turned out to be sorrowful, dream-like tales of love and death that usually took place amidst the Finnish nature. Influences were taken from the Finnish folklore as well as the world literature. After two years of intensive training Insomnium made their first demo-cd, which received praises from all over the world. The second demo was made the following year and it gained a lot of attention as well. This time, record companies got interested, too. In the beginning of 2001 founding members, guitarist Ville Friman, drummer Markus Hirvonen and bassist/vocalist Niilo Sevänen, attached a new guitarist, Ville Vänni to the band. Now Insomnium was stronger than ever and ready to rise to the next level. A deal with Candlelight was signed the same spring and recording of the first album began in the summer. [Lastfm] |

Nahemah (E)  | Genre: Progressive Death Metal, Progressive Metal, Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Metal
NahemaH is the result of the artistic interests of musicians placed in Alicante, a Mediterranean city on the south east of Spain. The project was born in early 1997 and it became more than a band, but a way of life for those involved. In 1999 the band selfreleased their first album "Edens In Communion". 2001 brought the release of NahemaH"s second album "Chrysalis" (Iberian Moon Records). Pulling from such influences as Dark Tranquillity or Opeth, the album proved to be very successful and was received well within the media exposure that was attained. The critical acclaim NahemaH got from Chrysalis coupled with the 2002 most nominated band readers poll in the Spanish metal magazine Hell Awaits allowed for opportunities to open for bigger acts that were touring Spain, such as Moonspell and Alastis as well as a Mexican release of their debut album. 2007 sees the release of the bands second full length, "The Second Philosophy" (Lifeforce Records). With a new record and a new label, NahemaH"s desire is to share their art and music with the world. [Lastfm] |

Ghost Brigade (FIN)  | Genre: Progressive Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Doom Metal, Dark Metal, Finnish
Ghost Brigade is a five-piece metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland, formed in 2005. They have taken elements from melodic death metal, doom metal and progressive metal into their music. Wille Naukkarinen (guitars): "In Ghost Brigade, selling albums is not what it"s about. It"s about the feeling I get when I write a new song, which I only get when I know the song is good enough. The metaphor for that is "the fire". That explains the title of the album. We are guided by fire." A quote on their website states (by date of the debut release) "there"s nothing above or below us, no written word wise enough, just notes that carry the silent fire." Their album "Guided By Fire", released in September 2007, consists of dark, intelligent music that hasn"t given up the ghost on being a metal band. Their second album "Isolation Songs", to be released in August 2009, continues in this line. For their debut album, Aleksi Munter of Swallow the Sun played keyboards as a session member for the band. Fredrik Nordin of the stoner rock band Dozer also did guest backing vocals on a track for their debut album.

BIO 2010~ From the official www.genitorturers.com "Renowned for their status as agents provocateur of the underground hard rock and industrial metal scenes, the latex defining and pop-culture defying Genitorturers return with their new release Blackheart Revolution [G-Force/MVD Entertainment]. The outfit's fifth studio release, Blackheart Revolution is a mesmerizing blend of infectious riffs and riotous overtures that lay the sexually-charged foundation for frontwoman Gen, the master of turbo-charged ceremonies and erotic rituals. "We wanted to make a big rock record that translates the same excitement I felt when I heard AC/DC's Highway to Hell for the first time, combined with the dark intrigue of Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare," says Gen of the new release. "We wanted something that shakes the walls, grabs you by the balls, and scares you a bit in the process!" Mission accomplished, as Blackheart Revolution combines the band's signature, genre-bending style of aggressive rock, seductive metal and underground electric pop. Co-Produced by David "Evil D" Vincent and Scott Humphrey , the album is a roller coaster ride of musical twists, sonic turns and reckless abandon. A product of Orlando, Florida's musical underbelly, what Genitorturers lack in wholesome family fun, they make up for in their celebration of the unspeakable, embracing and exploring our conservative culture's taboos. They caught the ear (and eye) of legendary music industry magnate Miles Copeland, who signed the band to their first deal on his I.R.S. label, where they joined the ranks of fellow Copeland signings Gary Numan, The Go-Gos and R.E.M.

Crematory (D)  | Genre: Gothic Metal, Death Metal, Doom Metal, Metal, Melodic Death Metal
There are at least two bands, who share the name "Crematory". 1) A German gothic metal band formed in Westhofen, Germany in 1991. 2) A Swedish death metal band formed in Haninge, Sweden in 1989. The German Crematory broke up in 2002 and reformed in 2004 to release the album Revolution, a largely progressive effort which brought the band into more accessible/techno-metal territory than ever before. Their sound has often been compared to early-Sentenced, Fear Factory, and Dark Tranquillity. The Swedish Crematory formed in 1989, and released 4 demos and one EP. This is an old school death metal band. [Lastfm] |

The Legendary Pink Dots (NL)  | Genre: Experimental, Psychedelic, Industrial, Avantgarde, Electronic
The Legendary Pink Dots are a Netherlands-based rock band formed in August 1980 in the UK who, although distinctly underground, have been musically influential over the years. The band name was derived from pink dots of nail varnish on the piano in their squat, where founding members Edward and April lived. The band has as its focal point vocalist Edward Ka-Spel, who is, along with Phil "The Silverman" Knight, one of the original remaining members of the band. In the mid eighties the band resettled in the Netherlands, where they still reside today. Apart from Edward and Phil, the line-up has gone through many changes. Members such as Ryan Moore, a canadian bass player, who joined in 1991 after the recordings of the Last Man to Fly with the Tear Garden (he joined as a session musician), went on to form their own labels and musical projects. See Twilight Circus and M Records. Their music is nothing if not original and it is difficult to categorise, but comparisons may be drawn with bands like Pink Floyd and Can. Their sound has been described as an amalgamation of psychedelic rock, industrial, synth-pop and avant-garde. They have released over 40 records and continuously tour the world. Members of the band have also collaborated with Nurse With Wound,The Dresden Dolls,Jarboe,HNAS,Jim O"Rourke,Skinny Puppy"s cEvin Key, forming The Tear Garden. Key also appears on the 1994 album 9 Lives to Wonder. Official Site: http://www.legendarypinkdots.org [Lastfm] |

Jarboe (USA)  | Genre: Experimental, Avant-garde, Darkwave, Industrial, Post Punk
Coming to rock and experimental music from a complex, fascinating background (both her parents were FBI agents; her upbringing in the South included such elements of extreme American religious faith as snake-handling ceremonies; and before her direct involvement in music she participated in "unorthodox sex work," to use her own words, in various U.S. cities), Jarboe, who has always preferred to be known by her sole name, has long been known as one of the fiercest spirits in modern music. She is an intelligent and aggressive artist possessed of striking musical skill who has rejected the music industry"s all-too-easy stereotyping and exploitation to create shockingly powerful visions. Helping strongly in this is her one-of-a-kind vocal talent, ranging from emotive blues/gospel tones to wild shrieking, matching excellently with her wide-ranging preference in musical styles. Joining the band Swans two years after it came into being, Jarboe soon became the co-leader of the band with founder Michael Gira; together the pair released some of the most striking, musically extreme recordings of recent years, both as Swans and as the side project band Skin. Jarboe"s solo career began in earnest in 1992 with the release of Thirteen Masks, followed a couple of years later by a collaborative effort released under the name Beautiful People with Larry Seven, who also worked on Thirteen Masks and various Swans tracks before that time. The next official release was 1995"s Sacrificial Cake, described as a "Swans Related Product," and released in concert with Gira"s own solo debut, Drainland. [Lastfm] |

Leichtmatrose (D)  | Genre: Electronic, Gothic, Darkwave, Psychedelic, Experimental
Leichtmatrose is a solo projekt of Andreas Stitz founded in 2004. They lyrics are in German and this is his first release. The music sounds like Joachim Witt or Wolfsheim. The music is very electronic, dreamy and melodic. The lyrics are deep and sometimes you have to listen to it twice - or even more times - to get an idea of one deeper meaning of a song. Some lyrics are even quite tragic, others just sad. The first song starts out quite thought inspiring when it says "replace your heart with a stone, it will only hurt once and then nevermore" or the second song about lies. "Der Mond Trägt Ein Trauriges Gesicht" (the moon carries a sad face) is a very sad song as well. The album is very interesting and there is a lot to find in each song. Andreas Stitz did not save on creativity. You can find all lyrics in the booklet as well as an amazing artwork, the pictures look somehow fake yet so real. Leichtmatrose "Gestrandet" (ordinary seaman aground) is a very interesting and new album. [Lastfm] |

Autoclav1.1 (GB)  | Genre: Idm, Rhythmic Noise, Industrial, Ambient, Noise
BIO AND DISCOGRAPHY Autoclav1.1 is the music project of Tony Young - a man well known for his promotions work (Sentry Music) in the noise/industrial/idm scene, but now finding his own niche amongst those whom he has supported for so many years. Fusing together a hybrid collection of collection of IDM, broken beats, ambient, industrial and alternative eclectic electronica, Autoclav1.1 as a project aims to reflect emotion whether that be on album or live on stage.Tony Young also plays live on stage distance permitting, with Synnack... PRESS FOR NEW ALBUM: Mainly known for his promotional work within the electronic music scene, Tony Young aka: Autoclav1.1 turned his hand to writing music late 2004. Since then he has had numerous successes including two EP's, two albums 'You are my all and more' and 'Visitor Attractions' , and more recently a remix album 'Broken Beats for Broken Hearts' , all of which have cemented Autoclav1.1 as one of the more prolific artists on the scene. Fusing huge orchestral compositions and IDM with flashes of Industrial and modern Electronica, Autoclav1.1 is quickly gaining a reputation for pulling on the deepest of human emotions with a variety of melodies and real-time instrumentation frequently torn apart by paranoid beatwork and broken rhythmical structures. On 'Love no Longer Lives Here', his third and latest studio album and first for rising US label Tympanik Audio, Young changes the goal posts once more and treads some new waters without forgetting his roots. More emphasis has been placed on heart rendering piano sections and soul capturing melodies. [Lastfm] |

"We have been friends for a long time and we all used to play in different metal and hardcore bands well known in the local area. In 2000 we all joined together just to have a bit of fun and to share friendship. Things slowly grew and in 2005 the project turned into a band: At The Soundawn. Our musical tastes grew too. We discovered new and different sonic landscapes that became firmly imprinted in our minds. That was the time when we developed a new way to approach music, totally based on the emotional flow. With our roots established in hard music we would like to move over, trying to create a synthesis of the sonic suggestions we get everyday. Actually we don't know where we are going. Music is leading us and we just keep it flowing". *taken from the band"s Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/atthesoundawn [Lastfm] |

Welle:Erdball (often abbreviated as W:E) is a group from Germany often credited of being the pioneers of bitpop. The heavy use of the Commodore 64"s SID sound chip makes their sound instantly recognizable. Their sound is reminiscent of the electronic pioneers Kraftwerk. Welle:Erdball"s front figure Honey (Dr. G. Linde) is also well known for his involvement in the C64 movement. Welle:Erdball made the music for the Commodore 64 game Metal Dust released by protovision. Welle:Erdball held a concert at the Amiga & Retro computing 2002 fair. Honey is also active in the goth/synth band Homo:Futura. The name literally means "Wavelength:Earth", and in fact comes from a German radio play called "Hallo! Hier ist Welle Erdball!". Their logo is a Sachsenring logo turned around. W:E has been a part of the demoscene and produced several musicdisks and other productions over the years. They also gave a live performance at Breakpoint 2006. In the early days Welle:Erdball went under the name Feindsender. Their music was then much more aggressive and punk-like. Some old Feindsender songs reappear on their later albums such as Rosa Zeiten and Telefonsex wich appears on the EP Nyntändoshock but were first on the album "es ist an der Zeit".

Klima (Kellermusik, Leipzig)  | Genre: Electronic, Indie, Female Vocalists, Electronica, Singer-songwriter
Klima (Angèle David-Guillou), female vocalist of Piano Magic, is a one-off; a London-based French singer-songwriter whose muse effectively synthesises a subtle array of influences from the wider shores of both Gallic and Anglo-American pop, rock and electronica to create highly personal music of unique allure. Angèle delivers her richly melodic essays in a voice that's both conversationally intimate and smoulderingly sensual; yet, her songs, brimming as they are with wry lyrical apercus and insightful, autobiographical observations, range way beyond the parameters of the stereotypical, kohl-eyed French chanteuse. Indeed, Klima's pointillist marriage of guitars, electronics, strings and intriguing atmospheres stake out a shimmering musical realm where time stops - an oasis of finely poised introspection, carefully immured against the distracting torrent of modern urban life. A classically trained musical all-rounder, Angèle's first genuine influences were Neil Young and Simon & Garfunkel, though her pre-adolescent tastes also ran to the electric blues of Muddy Waters ("I love the way the different layers of guitar are almost the same but not exactly, sometimes it"s almost dissonant,") and, when she was fifteen, Sonic Youth and the Buzzcocks. From there her horizons opened further. "I discovered electronic music with the likes of Aphex Twin and Isan and realised I loved repetitiveness in music - which is why I also love Steve Reich - as well as slowness..." [Lastfm] |

Turnbull AC's (S)  | Genre: Ebm, Seen Live
Recognized as one of Cincinnati"s premiere singer/songwriters, Dan Mecher started his Turnbull AC"s as a creative outlet following the death of his grandparents. He began crafting his songs during a six-month solitude living in their double-wide trailer on the west side of Cincinnati. The songs are haunting stories brought to life by Mecher"s graceful and melodic compositions - eerie reminders of the misfortunes life can present. After months of playing solo acoustic sets, Mecher gathered some of Cincinnati"s finest musicians to help him convey his message. The band dove right into the local and regional music scene during the second half of 2005, and played out several times a week with local favorites such as the Heartless Bastards, 500 Miles to Memphis, Moth, and The Sundresses. At the end of the year The Turnbull AC"s were recognized by Cincinnati's CityBeat Entertainment Awards - receiving a nomination for "Best New Artist of the Year". Mecher also received a nomination for "Singer/Songwriter of the Year" Award. As 2006 rolled in, The Turnbull AC"s saw the impact of their first year in existence. The band took advantage of their growing local popularity and self-released their debut full-length album. As people filled their shows, press reviews gave nothing but positive feedback, and the regional airwaves began spreading the word of Mecher"s lyrical masterpieces. [Lastfm] |

X Marks The Pedwalk (D)  | Genre: Ebm, Industrial, Electro-industrial, Dark Electro, Electronic
Formed in 1987 they were orginally called Scarecrow, but after leaving their first label they renamed the band X-Marks the Pedwalk (the name coming from a short story by sci-fi/fantasy author Fritz Leiber about a future dystopia where vehicular manslaughter is considered a sport). The band was started by schoolmates André Schmechta and Jorg Bohme, also known as Sevren Ni-Arb and Regan Eracs respectively. After producing a number of singles for Talla 2XLC"s label Zoth Ommog, they released their first album Freaks in 1992. After a disagreement over the direction of XMTP, Bohme left and was replaced by Sevren Ni-Arb"s brother Thorsten Schmechta (aka Raive Yarx) for the follow up Human Desolation. Another album followed (The Killing Had Begun) before XMTP stunned some fans with a changed stylistic approach in the 1995 release Meshwork, which featured a mature, techno-influenced sound and the vocal presence of Sevren"s future wife Stefanie Eckmann-Schmechta (aka Estefania). It was followed up one year later by Drawback, which continued the evolution of the sound. The birth of his first son and frustration with record labels in general led Sevren to dissolve the XMTP project altogether and quit music. A compilation album of rarities, unreleased tracks, and b-sides called Experiences was released in 2003. Currently a re-master of the Abbatoir single is underway, and a new album is in the works.

Twinkle (F)  | Genre: Rhythmic Noise, Industrial, Noise, Experimental, Electronic
There is more than one artist with this name: 1) Twinkle (born Lynn Annette Ripley, 15 July 1947, Surbiton, Surrey, England) was a singer-songwriter. She made #4 in the U.K. at the end of 1964 with her self-penned debut "Terry," a maudlin disc about the death of a (fictional) biker boyfriend. "Leader of the Pack" it wasn"t, yet the record caused a furor, with accusations of bad taste leading to its ban from the BBC (and, most likely, aiding its rapid rise to popularity). Only 16 at the time, Twinkle owed her rapid entry into the studio to a then-boyfriend in the then-popular vocal group The Bachelors, who passed on her demo to his manager. Jimmy Page was among the high-profile session musicians who played on "Terry". Twinkle was a lean mod blonde somewhat in the mold of Marianne Faithfull, she recorded several less successful follow-ups in the mid-"60s, most of which were light emulations of the New York girl group style. Vocally she bore a passing resemblance to Lesley Gore, though in an even whiter style (if such a thing was possible), making Gore seem downright funky in comparison. Twinkle, wasn"t a mere creation of the image factory, though; she wrote much of her own material, including "Golden Lights," her only other single to approximate hit status. After six singles for Decca, Twinkle retired from the studio in 1966, at around the time of her 18th birthday, although she did record a single for Andrew Loog Oldham"s Immediate label in 1969. 2) Twinkle is a Japanese band with ex-members of the almighty Fruity. 3) Twinkle were a Scandinavian act who became popular in the early days of satellite television owing to their appearing topless in their video "Hello" which was heavily played on Lifestyle TV"s Satellite Jukebox.

Welcome to PUNISH YOURSELF"s party of the century: the Pink Panther Party. Do not believe for a second you can just stand around. Those hammering beats are going to move your feet. Crushing guitar riffs are forcing that heavy head to bang. Loops and samples will force your ears open. Festering Ambient waves, EBM sequences and Techno parts are making themselves felt within your intestines. The voices of Miss Z and Vx "Cheerleader" will kick start your brain into frantic work as their words carry real meaning. And finally your eyes are going to gape wide in shock, when these luminous creatures take the stage. Yet the Pink Panther Party is far from just being a colourful bubblegum gathering. There is a well defined dark side to this Industrial band, which has taken deep roots in PUNISH YOURSELF"s music right from their beginning : A sinister figure has always been waiting in the twilight at the crossroads. Many of all too eager and ambitious Blues musicians have been lured into selling their souls to this creature. Once the deal is sealed, the only remaining path is leading straight to hell. This story does not end there. Those daring to walk on, will reach the point where the roads of Industrial, Punk, Metal and Techno cross. There a fate far worse than enslavement by Lucifer or Baron Samedi awaits them: glowing figures are dancing in the dark. PUNISH YOURSELF do not wish to bargain for your soul - they just take it without a warning. [Lastfm] |

There are two bands currently sharing this name. The featured songs from the albums Running and Live @ Fnac are from the second one (portuguese Imago) 1) Imago (Philippines) is a pop rock band composed of Aia De Leon (vocals/guitars), Myrene "Maps" Academia (bass), Tim Cacho (guitars) and Zach Lucero (drums) and known for songs such as Akap, Anino, Ewan, Taralets and Sundo. Imago was formed in 1998. They wrote an album's worth of original material which they recorded under the helm of producer and musician Bob Marlow. Their first album Probably Not But Most Definitely was released in 1999 under Maharlika Records. The band has picked up a handful of Katha and NU107 Rock Awards (Best Female Award for Aia De Leon and Best Music Video for "Akap") from the first cd. Imago's second album was released four years after. Recorded in 2003, the cd's release was delayed by unexpected record label setbacks. Enthusiastic over their new songs however, the band was determined to release the album no matter what. Composed of eleven new cuts (plus four remixes by some of Manila's premiere electronica acts), the material is relatively heavier compared to the first album. Released independently, Take 2 featured hit songs such as Akap and Anino. In 2006, Imago released their third album, "Blush" under Universal Records with "Taralets" as the lead single which was one of the certified hits of 2006 in the radio and music video channels. The song was also used as a theme song for the movie "Pitong Dalagita" and as a campaign jingle for a Philippine senatorial candidate. In the same year, they recorded a revival of Ewan, which was originally sung by the Apo Hiking Society. [Lastfm] |

The Deep Eynde  | Genre: Horror Punk, Deathrock, Gothabilly, Psychobilly, Punk
The Deep Eynde is a Deathrock/Punk band from Los Angeles, California. Most known for their past theatrical live performances (which included colored plastic wrap outfits, real blood, fake abortions, live insects, worms, and an octopus suit) the band has grown in their style to encompass Punk, Gothic, Deathrock, Psychobilly, and Rock"n"Roll. The band has since been an influence for the second wave of Gothic Bands around the world including Cinema Strange and The Phantom Limbs. The Deep Eynde began in 1990 with singer Fate Fatal and locals at an old drug house in the San Fernando Valley. The Deep Eynde was put on pause in 1992 when Fate was asked to join a band named Kittens for Christian, whom he took from a dull stage show to complete anarchy. He recorded "Bless The Worm Kisses" and "Flowers" with them while still keeping The Deep Eynde alive in the studio by making demos. After leaving Kittens for Christian in 1995, Fate began The Deep Eynde again with new members and recorded the first full length album "City Lights". Released by Apollyon Records in Germany, it was a dark mix reflecting their influences of Siouxsie and the Banshees and Bauhaus. They continued to tour across the US. After living with the anarcho-punk band Naked Aggression for many years, their sound began to become more aggressive. With the addition of guitarist Daniel DeLeon (of The Insaints and Rezurex) and drummer Hal Satan (of Penis Flytrap and 45 Grave), the second album "Suicide Drive" was released. It featured a duet with Gitane Demone called Alone Again, the lyrics made from a poem of the late Rozz Williams. [Lastfm] |

"Ataraxia" aus Italien - das romantische Nachtkonzert auf der Heidenbühne  | Genre: Medieval, Neofolk, Neoclassical, Gothic, Ethereal
Ataraxia is a neofolk/neoclassical band from Modena, Italy, that combines modern technology with archaic instrumentation over various media. They describe their music as a cross "between sacred and profane, ethereal and neoclassic, contemporary and early music." Their work has often involved research into European legends and Classical mythology. Contemplation, dreamy experiences, elegiac atmospheres, ritual movements float in a mysterious garden where contemporary textures of notes meet the embracing echo of classic sounds. Their lyrics are written in many ancient and contemporary languages (such as Latin, French, German, English, and their native Italian) as they try to bring to surface the hidden treasures and revelations from each one. Many of their performances take place in locations the band professes to possess specific spiritual qualities. Since the beginning of the group in the late 80"s, they have recorded some 20 original LP"s. Their album "Paris Spleen," released in December 2006 together with Madame Bistouri and CircuZ KumP, is based on cabaret macabre and surreal circus atmospheres. The latest LP, "Kremasta Nera,", released in April 2007 draws archaic mantras and ritual movements, whispers magic spells and eastern litanies, and forges tribal rhythms and dark ceremonies inspired by the energy sites of Samothrace in Greece. They have released a poetic, photographic book together with the visual artist Livio Bedeschi and the music jourmalist Ferruccio Filippi tracing all their discography, philosophy and aesthetic perspective. This opus, with a CD included, is called "Arcana Eco". [Lastfm] |

Ashes You Leave (HR)  | Genre: Doom Metal, Gothic Metal, Gothic Doom Metal, Female Fronted Metal, Female Vocalists
Ashes You Leave is a doom-gothic metal band from Rijeka, Croatia The band was formed back in 1995, when a few young doom metal fanatics decided to form what later became the biggest Croatian metal band of all times, Ashes You Leave. After recording two demos, Ashes You Leave attracted attention from record labels and decided to sign for Morbid Records from Germany, a deal that led to release of their debut album "The Passage Back to Life". Although seemingly an opus dedicated to their childhood heroes like My Dying Bride, this album is considered by many as a jewel of classic doom metal. Since they were full of ideas and energy it took them only a year to release the second album "Desperate Existence", a clear step forward from their doom metal roots and a release widely considered as their darkest ever. Already having established a huge fan base throughout world, the band had great expectations from their 3rd album "The Inheritance of Sin and Shame" and it proved to be a milestone in their career. Not only did it outsell its predecessors and sweep reviewers off their feet, it also gave the band their first taste of foreign stages as they embarked on their virgin European tour. Finally fans had a chance to witness the band live: most of them were surprised by the ferocity and heaviness of their performance. After the release of "The Inheritance of Sin and Shame" AYL faced a potentially huge problem - their long time singer Dunja was unable to be a part of the band anymore, so they started a search for a new singer.

Ashram is a neoclassical darkwave band from Italy. The embryo of the band was formed in June 1997 when Sergio Panarella and Luigi Rubino first started collecting ideas for the project that would later be known as Ashram. While undergoing the writing process of their first ever release, the duo invited Alfredo Notarloberti, the notorious napolitan violinist, to take their side in this ambitious project. With the line-up complete, the band recorded eleven songs out of which seven were selected and included on the demo "For My Sun", self-released in May"99. The remarkable energy and empathy between these musicians granted them an appearance as the opening track on Energeia"s compilation "Intimations of Immortality Vol. 5" with the song "Spirit of the Rising Moon", and drew some media attention to this emmerging band. Shortly after, Ashram signs with the French label Prikosnovenie. In 2001, the line-up is expanded as Leonardo Massa joins the group on cello, thus completing the ensemble that would participate in the recording of the critically acclaimed debut self-titled album released in the following year.

After a successful tour with Italian Industrial legends SIGILLUM S, the personnel changed. MK. E. ,who was with them on tour, joined the band. Also, Dutch drummer / multi-instrumentalist RICHARD VAN KRUYSDIJK (who now also works with Niels van Hoorn (The Legendary Pink Dots) as STRANGE ATTRACTOR, and with Marie-Claudine Vanvlemen as SONAR LODGE) joined the band. The trio recorded several songs, later to be released on the album "Cyberflesh". JORIS HUIJBREGTS, who also features on this CD, played previously with Richard in the band Lament, and joined PHALLUS DEI a year later. Together they recorded the critically acclaimed albums "Pornocrates", "Luxuria" (feat. Gitane Demone), "Orpheus & Eurydice", as well as "Universum"; a CD by their ambient side-project PHD2. After Joris left the band in 1995, they continued as a trio, shifting their sound more and more towards electronica and experimental, cinematic music. A "best of"-CD ("Adorations") was released by Hollows Hill / Triple X in the USA, and after a period when the band members concentrated on different projects, they came back strong in 2001 with a new album: "Nature Mortes".

Sol Invictus (GB)  | Genre: Neofolk, Apocalyptic Folk, Dark Folk, Dark Ambient, Neo-folk
Sol Invictus is an English neofolk and neoclassical group fronted by Tony Wakeford. Wakeford founded Sol Invictus in order to pursue his own musical ideas. He was an original member of Crisis and Death in June with Douglas P... He formed Sol Invictus in 1987, working with Ian Read and Karl Blake. He has been the sole constant of the group, as it continues to bring forth new forms and conceptions. Wakeford has described Sol Invictus as a "cabaret band from Hell for the fin-de-siècle" and has referred to his work as folk noir. He has said the name "comes from a pre-Christian Rome-based cult. Many of its trappings were taken over by the church. The name means 'the unconquered (or victorious) sun", and it was brought back by the legionnaires returning from Persia. The sun has always been an important symbol and as the cult of Sol Invictus nearly defeated Christianity at one point it seemed a good name to use. I also love the sound of Latin. " Sol Invictus imagery and lyrical content, especially initially, was strongly influenced by a antipathy for the modern world and materialism. The band also had considerable interest in Heathen and Mithraist themes, often reflecting an explicit antipathy to Christianity. Wakeford has written from a melancholic position of doomed Romanticism, which laments the loss of beauty, love, and Culture. He sees Americanism as a scourge upon Europe, as expressed with pitch-black humour in his song, "Death of the West" from the album of the same name. [Lastfm] |

Alexander Veljanov (formerly of Run Run Vanguard) is mainly known as one of the founding members of the German darkwave ensemble Deine Lakaien. A few years ago Veljanov presented his solo debut with the album "Secrets of the Silver Tongue", followed in 2002 by "The Sweet Life". Both albums presented a departure from the established Deine Lakaien sound, towards a more personal vision, both musically as well as lyrically. His newest album "Porta Macedonia" was released on Nov. 7, 2008. During four years he worked together with Macedonian musician Goran Trajkoski, resulting in songs mixing typical Veljanov sound elements with Balkan music. [Lastfm] |

Arctic Plateau (I)  | Genre: Shoegaze, Post-rock, Italian, Dream Rock, Alternative Rock
ARCTIC PLATEAU - this is the nom de plume of Gianluca Divirgilio, an Italian musician with an incredible sense for epic arrangements and song structures whose first recordings offer timeless music between the poles of Post Rock, Shoegaze, New Wave and Indie. "I am so inspired by the sadness that I feel I have found the joy." These are the first lyrics you"ll hear on "On A Sad Sunny Day", the debut album by ARCTIC PLATEAU, and this sentiment is the golden thread that runs through each of the eleven tracks. This album enchants you with an open, dream-like atmosphere and is characterized by a fascinating ambivalence of hope and melancholy, euphoria and sadness. It"s like an introspective trip into your inner self and into your own past, a rekindling of memories and sealed-up emotions. The artist himself describes his compositions as 'explicitly dreamed music", and it"s hard to think of any better term for the music of this one-man project. [Lastfm] |

Indukti (PL)  | Genre: Progressive Metal, Progressive Rock, Polish, Progressive, Alternative
'Indukti is an induction of five minds, a musical conglomeration designed to stimulate the imagination and draw forth exceptional experiences and unique emotions." - Violinist Ewa Jablonska In September 2004 Indukti, from Warsaw, Poland, released S.U.S.A.R., the debut album under the Off Music label. While recording, the main intention of the band was to maintain as much of the concert spontaneity and energy as possible. Indukti invited Mariusz Duda from Riverside to lend his enchanting voice and Anna Faber to enrich the album with her harp skills. S.U.S.A.R. was re-released worldwide on 6 September, 2005 by Laser"s Edge. After the album"s release the band often performed concerts, was awarded the first prize in three festivals and appeared on two compilations and on the independent release which received a warm welcome by fans. On 2 January, 2008 Indukti announced on their official site that they would start recording a new album. On 4 June of that year, the band disclosed that new music was recorded and that they would begin mixing the second album. Finally, on 29 May, 2009 Indukti announced their new album entitled Idmen, to be released 27 July, 2009 in Europe and 11 August, 2009 in North America by record label InsideOut Music. The group invited three guest vocalists to sing on Idmen, namely Nils Frykdahl (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum), Maciej Taff (Rootwater) and Michael Luginbuehl (Prisma), leaving the instrumental character of the band's core unaltered.

Alcest (F)  | Genre: Shoegaze, Black Metal, Post-rock, Atmospheric Black Metal, Atmospheric
Formed in 1999 by French black metal multi-instrumentalist Neige (who also worked with Peste Noire, Mortifera, and Amesoeurs), Alcest was originally conceived as a solo project. It would eventually take on the form of a full band as Hegnor (also of Peste Noire) and Arguth joined the fray and released a four-track demo entitled Tristesse Hivernale in 1999. This demo was a more straightforward black metal affair, much different from what would happen next. After that released, Alcest returned to a one-member format, with Neige moving away from the metal overtones of the three-piece and embracing a more atmospheric approach to his work. The 2005 EP release, Le Secret, was more in tune with the project`s ultimate goal, which was to put to ear, as it were, Neige`s fascination with an "otherworld" — of sorts — that had held a fascination for him beginning in his childhood. In 2007, Neige released the first full-length Alcest recording, Souvenirs D`un Autre Monde (Memories of Another World, for those keeping up in English), which was released on Prophecy Productions, and was a critical success. 2007 also saw a split-EP release with Angmar. Discography: Tristesse Hivernale - Demo [2001] Le secret - EP [2005] Souvenirs d"un autre monde - Full Length [2007] Aux Funérailles Du Monde/Tristesse Hivernale [2007] Les Discrets / Alcest - Split [2009] Écailles de Lune - Full Length [2010] Neige is currently working on his second album consisting 5 or 6 new songs and both the songs from Le Secret EP will be re-recorded. Some of the new songs will also include some harsh vocals. [Lastfm] |

Hekate (D)  | Genre: Neofolk, Medieval, Dark Ambient, Apocalyptic Folk, Folk
Hekate was formed in 1993, for the time being as an atonal project. Hekate"s first ever performance was in the spring of the same year during an art exhibition at an advanced technical college in Koblenz. Soon there-after, a fusion of several stylistic elements into a symbiosis emerged from the strong naturalistic-folkloric relation of each band-member. The music is mainly based on the use of classical percussions like kettle drums, timpanis, snare- and bass drums and Chinese gongs combined with acoustic guitars and middle-aged instruments , e.g. hurdy gurdy. The musical background is completed by use of modern synthesizers. The lyrics are presented by alternating male and female singing in German, English and French- and other languages such as Latin, Jidish or Middle-Age-German. Thematically lyrics are orientated towards the life of each individual "librettist". The use of an optical attracting stage equipment during a performance is of great importance as it should stimulate the different senses of the audience. Thus, a ritual ceremony plays a decisive part at the beginning of a concert as well as during the stage performance itself.

The word "művek" (works) symbolizes the band originally starting off its career in Miskolc, a typical Central European industrial city also dubbed as "Steel City" EDDA"s catchy, melodic rock tunes and touching ballads primarily focus on the social and emotional life of youth. Love, loneliness, alienation, friendship and spirituality. The band performs more than one hundred shows annually throughout Hungary and surrounding Hungarian communities around the Carpathian Basin. However, the energetic and inventive musicianship that EDDA"s known for, is best reflected through their dynamic live performances.

The Band RAUM41 was put together by Thomas, Frank and Knüpfi in Autumn 2000 in Leipzig, Germany. Despite hardly any musical knowledge, some of their first songs came into existence. Meanwhile, their own sound between eighties wave and modern indie rock was quickly established. After several reshuffles of the band, they finally made their successful stage debut at the "We Make Dach" benefit in Leipzig"s "UT Connewitz" in April of this year. At the same time, Franzie has been established as the new vocalist. She joined the band in May 2006. With a remarkable voice and lyric talent, she completes the sound of the band perfectly. In August 2006, the four musicians made the first recordings of their own songs with the assistance of the Miditerror Studio. At the "Schwarzlicht-Festival" October 2006 in Leipzig"s club "Die Villa", RAUM41 presented their musical work for the first time in this new line-up. We look forward to hearing more about them! ...some quotations regarding the band: "What on earth is a RAUM41 ?" (the crowd) "They sound surprisingly good."

"Dreams of slavery and masturbation..." "...one of the UK"s standout dark alternative acts". (Sphere Webzine) Luxury Stranger is an English band, based in Nottingham, UK Influenced by the sounds of post-punk / new wave from 1978 - 1984. Imagine: Bowie and Pop"s Berlin years mixed with the disparate sound of Joy Division and early Cure with the melodies and power of The Chameleons - this is Luxury Stranger. With influences drawn from the darkness of post-punk, the theatre of 70s glam (Bowie/Eno/Reed/Pop) and the commerciality of 80s new wave, Luxury Stranger are a 'Jekyl and Hyde" style of band - a methodical architect in the studio and a passionate powerful monster on the stage. Luxury Stranger played it"s first gig on Friday, 5th September 2008 at Junktion 7, Nottingham (see blog for details). In December 2008, Luxury Stranger signed with Major Digital (an off-shoot of Germany"s Major Records). Luxury Stranger is currently playing live as often as possible to promote the Desolation album and help expand the band"s growing fanbase. The band is also experimenting with material which could make the list for the second LS album...some of these pieces are already in the LS live set.

Joy Disaster starts to report that the 80"s are not dead, that there remains of these books something to sustain. But the French trio, experienced, star his roots of this dark Post-Punk, yesterday, the tribalism of Joy Division, today the Interpol more swaying melodies (" Falling Angel" or "Hang Around", sound of the low ones for nets of guitars). This six inaugural titles CD brings back thus on the rug, with freshness... , the sources of an inspiration definitely very in fashion these three last years, but of which the fortunes themselves various facts to the taste of the gone out of younger groups than Gang Of Four, less crazy than Killing Joke. Joy Disaster belongs, somewhere, to this revival; but it contains - in contrast to number of other formations of this kind - something precious, like a promise. Even if the combo has not the slice of Joy Division (" Black old Thief", hypnotic anyway) or the heroism of the first Ikon, we are far to think that this cure will maybe coming soon. There is a source to breadth projections, and that the some noisy sound that improves these litanies (the introduction of the final one "Human Robots") can well to sign the return of some demons. There is well here, it is sure, a small flame that does not shake, that nests itself to the hollow one of these acids guitars, of these turns of which despair perspires without falling in the game of excessiveness.

Gene Loves Jezebel (GB) | Genre: Gothic Rock, Post-punk, New Wave, Goth, 80s
Gene Loves Jezebel is a gothic rock band from the early 1980s founded by twin brothers, Michael and Jay Aston. Michael Aston (vocals) was the poetic, goth-leaning side of the twin brothers while Jay Aston's distinctive banshee-like, wailing vocals supplied Gene Loves Jezebel with one of their many trademark quirks. Originally called Slav Aryan, Gene Loves Jezebel began in 1980 with the brothers, guitarist Ian Hudson, and a drum machine. The Astons grew up in Porthcawl, South Wales, making the move to London in 1981. With a new home, and shortly thereafter, the new name, the trio played several live shows and was signed by Situation Two. In May 1982, the label released Gene Loves Jezebel"s demo and a single "Shaving My Neck." The band then added bassist Julianne Regan followed, Regan was replaced by Ian Hudson on Bass (and Albi DeLuca took over the guitar role) and went on to form All About Eve, Gene Loves Jezebel underwent a dozen or so line up changes between 1981-1985 alone! The band was really about the twins after all. The band released two more singles in 1983 before their debut album Promise peaked at number 8 in the U.K."s indie charts. In 1984, the group recorded a John Peel radio session for BBC and toured America with fellow Welsh artist John Cale. The second album, Immigrant, was released in mid-1985. However, during an agonizing American tour for Immigrant, founding member Ian Hudson suffered a nervous breakdown and was replaced by former Gen X guitarist James Stevenson. [Lastfm] |

ELECTRONIC AMBIENT FOR TOWER CRANE CONDUCTORS Sven Wolff (of the former band The Dust of Basement) and Lance Murdock make no secret of their obsession with heavy machinery. Endlessly fascinated with what appears to others as the monotonous daily routines of a construction site, they early on became enraptured with loud and gigantic machines, the glare of orange safety vests, yellow hard hats, and striped cordoning tape. However, the focus of their fervent adoration became the gravity-defying conductors in their seemingly never-ending tower cranes. It is exactly this bizarre source of inspiration that seems to have fueled PATENBRIGADE: WOLFF and the duos zest for musical achievements since 1998. PATENBRIGADE: WOLFF is the soundtrack for this situation and remains dedicated to all tower crane conductors across the world. Enjoy! http://www.patenbrigade.com [Lastfm] |

The Lovecrave (I)  | Genre: Gothic Metal, Gothic, Gothic Rock, Female Fronted Metal, Metal
The LoveCrave is an Italian Gothic Rock band coming from Milan & Venice. The band was founded in 2004. Tank Palamara the guitarist recruited the female singer Francesca Chiara. The line up includes Iakk on the drums and Simon Dredo the last to join the band taking up the bass guitar duties. Francesca Chiara and Tank wrote 15 songs in less than a month... the band was then ready to go and ready to hit higher grounds... they created in their mind a sort of "Blade Runneresque" world and tried to put the music on it. No words can really describe their sounds: the instability sensations of "Little Suicide", the rebellion of "Can You Hear Me?", the eternity of "The Angel And The Rain" or the slow loneliness of "Fading Roses" are pure emotions and the only way to feel them is to turn on a candle light and up the volume as much as you can. The debut album called The Angel And The Rain was released on October 20, 2006 under RepoRecords. [Lastfm] |

Diary Of Dreams (D)  | Genre: Darkwave, Gothic, Electronic, Industrial, German
Diary of Dreams is a darkwave group from Düsseldorf, Germany. The lead singer and founding member Adrian Hates has produced most of the albums by himself or with minimal help from others. He rarely uses a full band, except when he is on tour. Adrian Hates was originally a classically trained guitarist and pianist, and subsequently bassist of Garden of Delight. He initiated the Diary of Dreams project in the late 1980s, taking the name from one of his early classical guitar compositions, 'Tagebuch der Träume". The first album, 'Cholymelan", appeared in 1994 on the Dion Fortune label. Encouraged by this success, Adrian formed his own label Accession and released a string of albums over the following years, building a loyal fanbase each step of the way. The second album 'End of Flowers" was released in 1996, expanding on the darkwave sound of the debut. 'Bird Without Wings" followed a year later, whilst the more experimental work 'Psychoma?" arrived in 1998. The first sign of consolidation came in 1999, when a compilation album 'Moments of Bloom" appeared, containing two reworked tracks from each album. The next two albums 'One of 18 Angels" and 'Freak Perfume" (plus its companion EP 'PaniK Manifesto") made greater use of electronic rhythms, resulting in greater club play and wider recognition for the band. Their 2004 'Nigredo" (a concept album inspired by a mythology the band designed themselves) saw a move back towards the more subtle, sparse concepts of old, but still featuring bursts of their more recent, dance-oriented sound. Songs from the Nigredo tour were later released on the live CD 'aLive" and the companion DVD 'Nine In Numbers". [Lastfm] |

Lacrimosa (D)  | Genre: Gothic, Gothic Metal, Darkwave, Symphonic Metal, German
Lacrimosa is a duo led by German-born Tilo Wolff, the main composer, and Finnish Anne Nurmi, currently based in Switzerland and founded in 1990.

Their musical style mixes heavy metal and gothic rock sounds along with violin, trumpet and more classical instruments, although their musical development throughout the years has also led to changes in instrumentation. Lacrimosa"s lyrics are written almost exclusively in German, although since the 1995 album Inferno every album has featured one or two songs in English, generally written by Anne Nurmi. Finnish has also appeared in brief spoken intros to two songs (Schakal on Inferno and The Turning Point on Elodia) and on a bonus track in a limited edition release of Fassade. Their lyrics are mainly about loneliness, sadness, darkness, despair and love. All albums were released through Wolff"s own label Hall Of Sermon. Their official site is www.lacrimosa.ch. [Lastfm] |

X Marks The Pedwalk | Genre: Ebm, Industrial, Electro-industrial, Dark Electro, Electronic
Formed in 1987 they were orginally called Scarecrow, but after leaving their first label they renamed the band X-Marks the Pedwalk (the name coming from a short story by sci-fi/fantasy author Fritz Leiber about a future dystopia where vehicular manslaughter is considered a sport). The band was started by schoolmates André Schmechta and Jorg Bohme, also known as Sevren Ni-Arb and Regan Eracs respectively. After producing a number of singles for Talla 2XLC"s label Zoth Ommog, they released their first album Freaks in 1992. After a disagreement over the direction of XMTP, Bohme left and was replaced by Sevren Ni-Arb"s brother Thorsten Schmechta (aka Raive Yarx) for the follow up Human Desolation. Another album followed (The Killing Had Begun) before XMTP stunned some fans with a changed stylistic approach in the 1995 release Meshwork, which featured a mature, techno-influenced sound and the vocal presence of Sevren"s future wife Stefanie Eckmann-Schmechta (aka Estefania). It was followed up one year later by Drawback, which continued the evolution of the sound. The birth of his first son and frustration with record labels in general led Sevren to dissolve the XMTP project altogether and quit music. A compilation album of rarities, unreleased tracks, and b-sides called Experiences was released in 2003. Currently a re-master of the Abbatoir single is underway, and a new album is in the works.

The Grapes Of Wrath (D)  | Genre: Canadian, Rock, Alternative, 80s, Dark Psy
Disambiguation: The psychedelic trance group is at Grapes of Wrath. The Grapes of Wrath were formed in Kelowna, British Columbia in 1983 by Chris Hooper, Tom Hooper and Kevin Kane. Keyboardist Vincent Jones joined the band later. They came up with the name for the band after looking at a movie guide—nobody in the band had seen the movie or read the book. In 1984, they signed to Nettwerk, releasing a self-titled EP that year. The following year, their debut album September Bowl of Green was released. 1987"s Treehouse, produced by Tom Cochrane, was the band"s Canadian breakthrough, yielding the hit singles "Peace of Mind" and "Backward Town". This last single was taken by many as a reference to the band members" experience of Kelowna. Now and Again, released in 1989, was the band"s most successful album, however, and has come to be considered one of the classic albums in Canadian rock history. The band"s tour to support this album was also notable for its opening act, a then-emerging singer/songwriter named Sarah McLachlan. These Days, released in 1991, found the band experimenting with a harder rock sound, and while it sold well and spawned the hit singles "You May Be Right" and "I Am Here", it was to be the band"s last effort for almost a decade. Citing creative differences, Kane left the band in 1992. The band"s name and song catalogue were tied up in litigation for several years, forcing the remaining members to record under the name Ginger. [Lastfm] |

Tales of vampyric love, alienation, self-empowerment and individual expression... Brigitte"s songs are voiced with a deep, dark-edged sword, full of a presence and attitude that is not to be crossed. Ranging from a full-force rockin" attack, dripping down to a rich, sombre low delivered with a solemn vow of determination. The sharp lipstick twang of the Danelectro slung low, kicks with a grating bite and shimmers into a silvery vibrato moon. Imagine Gene Vincent married Marlene Dietrich with a twist of Tim Burton, Dave Vanian and the Sisters of Mercy... Despite being a child of the 80"s, Brigitte Handley developed a passion for rock 'n" roll and the 1950"s from her earliest years. The evolution into high school translated her devotion to Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent into fronting her own band. As soon as she could muster the dollars, Brigitte made the pilgrimage to the USA where she represented Australia at the opening of the 'Rockabilly Hall of Fame" in Jackson, Tennessee. There she met and played alongside some of her rock 'n" roll heroes of the 1950"s. An inspired road trip took Brigitte to Las Vegas and LA where she played some shows and jammed with a bunch of 80s neo-rockabilly, punk and psychobilly cats who would influence and encourage her in the next part of her journey to developing her individual rockin" style. Back in Australia, Brigitte concentrated on her writing, her mind set on heading back to the States. [Lastfm] |

The Deep Eynde is a Deathrock/Punk band from Los Angeles, California. Most known for their past theatrical live performances (which included colored plastic wrap outfits, real blood, fake abortions, live insects, worms, and an octopus suit) the band has grown in their style to encompass Punk, Gothic, Deathrock, Psychobilly, and Rock"n"Roll. The band has since been an influence for the second wave of Gothic Bands around the world including Cinema Strange and The Phantom Limbs. The Deep Eynde began in 1990 with singer Fate Fatal and locals at an old drug house in the San Fernando Valley. The Deep Eynde was put on pause in 1992 when Fate was asked to join a band named Kittens for Christian, whom he took from a dull stage show to complete anarchy. He recorded "Bless The Worm Kisses" and "Flowers" with them while still keeping The Deep Eynde alive in the studio by making demos. After leaving Kittens for Christian in 1995, Fate began The Deep Eynde again with new members and recorded the first full length album "City Lights". Released by Apollyon Records in Germany, it was a dark mix reflecting their influences of Siouxsie and the Banshees and Bauhaus. They continued to tour across the US. After living with the anarcho-punk band Naked Aggression for many years, their sound began to become more aggressive. With the addition of guitarist Daniel DeLeon (of The Insaints and Rezurex) and drummer Hal Satan (of Penis Flytrap and 45 Grave), the second album "Suicide Drive" was released. It featured a duet with Gitane Demone called Alone Again, the lyrics made from a poem of the late Rozz Williams. [Lastfm] |

Koffin Kats are a psychobilly trio from Detroit, Michigan. Fusing the swing of classic rockabilly with the hot-wired energy and ghoulish imagery of Misfits, this band proves that high-octane psychobilly is still alive and kicking in the American midwest. Koffin Kats were formed in 2003 by lead singer and upright bassist Vic Victor and guitarist/vocalist Tommy Koffin, who had been part of the Motor City punk scene for some time before trying their hands at the doom-struck twang of their punk-rockabilly fusion. The band has had a number of drummers come and go over the years, with Damian Detroit having the longest run (from 2003 to 2005); Katch (aka the "other" Goat); and E-Ball Walls, who played with the Kats for a spell in 2003, and rejoined the lineup in 2007. The trio released their first album, simply titled "Koffin Kats", in 2004, and hit the road in support of the record. Since then, the Koffin Kats have maintained a busy tour schedule, frequently gigging on the West Coast as well as closer to home, and have released three more long-players, 2005"s "Inhumane", 2006"s "Straying From the Pack" and 2008"s "Drunk in the Daylight". And in October of 2009 Released "Forever for Hire" In Early 2010 saw the departure of Guitarist Tommy Koffin, and he was replaced by EZ Ian and now they are working on another album that is expected be out in late 2010 on Stomp Records [Lastfm] |

"Valravn" means "raven of the slain" in Danish.

Valravn sings old Faroese ballads in the original language, accompanied by traditional and electronic instruments. Along with the new sound, Valravn is playing to much larger audiences, including the German Rudolstadt Tanz & Folk Fest, with an audience of over 70,000, in 2009. Interestingly, the group is comprised of an international cast: Anna Katrin Egilstrøð (Faroe Islands): Voice, flutes, tambourine, davul, percussion.

"Hekate" feynste Heidenfolklore auf der Heidenbühne | Genre: Neofolk, Medieval, Dark Ambient, Apocalyptic Folk, Folk
Hekate was formed in 1993, for the time being as an atonal project. Hekate"s first ever performance was in the spring of the same year during an art exhibition at an advanced technical college in Koblenz. Soon there-after, a fusion of several stylistic elements into a symbiosis emerged from the strong naturalistic-folkloric relation of each band-member. The music is mainly based on the use of classical percussions like kettle drums, timpanis, snare- and bass drums and Chinese gongs combined with acoustic guitars and middle-aged instruments , e.g. hurdy gurdy. The musical background is completed by use of modern synthesizers. The lyrics are presented by alternating male and female singing in German, English and French- and other languages such as Latin, Jidish or Middle-Age-German. Thematically lyrics are orientated towards the life of each individual "librettist". The use of an optical attracting stage equipment during a performance is of great importance as it should stimulate the different senses of the audience. Thus, a ritual ceremony plays a decisive part at the beginning of a concert as well as during the stage performance itself.

ReActivate (D)  | Genre: Futurepop, Synthpop, Darkwave, Electronic, Ebm
ReActivate are a Futurepop band consisting of two fellows — Frank and Marc — from the area around Cologne in Germany. Growing up in the Eighties, the band found their style in the combination of melodic sounds and vocals, songs with atmosphere and up-tempo beats. Their lyrics are in both English and German. Frank and Marc had been a part of the so-called "underground" scene in Germany for years, but had always wondered why they only saw people dressed in black dancing to this kind of music. So, ReActivate sent out some promos to DJs and joined the EBM Radio Compilation. Later they watched people (dressed in black or otherwise) not only dancing to their music but also having a lot of fun at the ReActivate concerts. "ReActivate your mind" is the band"s slogan — open your mind for new music, open your mind for new influences, free yourself from boundaries and dance to everything you like. Because Frank (Vocals) and Marc (Keyboard) are self produced their music is 100% their own. In 2003, ReActivate entered the "Battle of the Bands" competition held by German magazine Sonic Seducer and came in second place. This lead to ReActivate signing with Synthetic Product Records, a label who has built up bands like De/Vision, Mesh and Colony 5. [Lastfm] |

Auto Auto (S)  | Genre: Synthpop, Electronic, Ebm, Swedish, Industrial
Auto-auto is a multi-art project from Gothenburg, Sweden. Born in 2004, the primary members of the project are Erik Frankel and Johan Hellqvist but they work together with various other talents to fulfill their visions. Among others, Philip Linné and Mattias Rost. "auto-auto is and will be a project which main purpose is to try to change and encourage change in your local community, thus from small changes ultimately making the world a better place for all of us to live in" (auto-auto manifesto) The music they make range from a wide variety of electro and what could be called synthpop to darker EBM, hip-hop inspired beats, industrial themes and much more. They accompany much of their work and live performances with videoart and uncommon methods of getting their message through, often accompanied by dark humor and critical comments on world politics, religion and fashion ideals. 2004 Erik and Johan were living togheter. Out of plain boredom they both sat down one night and said to each other "Hey, let"s make a song". The song turned out quite nice and the two young men sat down a few other nights and made more songs. Initially they didn"t release anything, and that was never the goal either. However, some songs where shared with a few friends and the newly founded record label Substream got hold of a couple of them. Substream found the music interesting and told Erik and Johan that they wanted to release their music as first act on their label. [Lastfm] |

S.P.O.C.K (S)  | Genre: Synthpop, Electronic, Swedish, Futurepop, Synth
S.P.O.C.K (Star Pilot on Channel K) is a Swedish synthpop band. The original lineup of the band were songwriter Eddie Bengtsson (formerly a founding member of Page), Finn Albertsson, and vocalist Alexander Hofman. Over time the members of the band have shifted: Johan Billing were a member of the band for several years during the 90s, but with the release of S.P.O.C.K in 1999 the band"s lineup changed to the current one with Alexander Hofman (the band"s only remaining founding member), Johan Malmgren (former member of Elegant Machinery and Aaron Sutcliffe) and Christer Hermodsson. The subject matter of S.P.O.C.K"s songs frequently centers on science fiction and, in particular, Star Trek. In 1988 Eddie Bengtsson wrote a handful of songs to be performed at Finn Albertsson"s next birthday party, with Alexander Hofman performing vocals; the three men dubbed the band Mr. Spock (named for Mr. Spock of the Star Trek franchise). After the performance at Albertsson"s birthday celebration, the band continued for several months to play at house parties, and soon managed to secure some event bookings. In 1989 the band members contacted Paramount Pictures for permission to use the name "Mr. Spock." When Paramount demanded compensation for the privilege, the band renamed themselves Star Pilot on Channel K, abbreviated S.P.O.C.K. S.P.O.C.K"s commercial success began in 1990 when the Swedish record label Accelerating Blue Fish published Silicon Dream as a limited-edition single. [Lastfm] |

They soon began recording their first EP, "Colony 5" (which was released at the beginning of 2002), but in August Magnus left the band. Following the release of their first album, "Lifeline", Magnus Kalnins joined the band, soon after which they released their second single "Follow Your Heart" which contained three new songs not on the album. 2003 saw the single "Black" and their second album "Structures" released. Over the summer, C5 played at several large festivals and were nominated as "Best Newcomers" at the "Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards" (they came second). Sadly, Johan decided to leave the band in November. Their output slowed during 2004/5 whilst they toured eastern Europe. A collection of singles called "Colonisation" was released in 2004 and Colony 5 again got nominated for a SAMA award, this time losing out to "Statemachine". A new album, "Fixed", appeared in spring 2005. They were again nominated for SAMA awards, this time as "Best Band" and "Best Song" (for the single "Plastic World"). The latter of which they won.

You can currently hear demo versions of some of the new songs at www.myspace.com/revolutionbynight as well as here on lastfm. Please be aware that "Machine Code" and "Mesmerised" seem to be incorrectly labelled on LAstFM, but here"s hoping that gets sorted out soon! RBN have played alongside most of the top scene bands. The list includes Mesh, Covenant, VNV Nation, Rotersand, XP8, Seabound, Pride & Fall, Suicide Commando, Reaper, Neuroticfish, Psyche, Deine Lakaien, Frozen Plasma, The Cruxshadows, Seabound, Funker Vogt, XPQ21, L"ame Immortelle and Assemblage23 to name but a few.

Their "Tanzkunst" remix of the Nachtmahr track "Tanzdiktator" will feature on the next Nachtmahr release, "Mädchen In Uniform". To whet the appetite of their fans, RBN made a limited number of copies of the "Machine Code Tour CD" available at shows in 2006, which sold out despite being largely unmastered demo mixes. Previously, the only RBN CD available was the Faithless EP. Released in Germany in June 2003, the FAITHLESS EP featured remixes by Ronan Harris (VNV Nation) and Tom Shear (Assemblage 23).

members of the band: production/arrangement: René Müller vocals: Melanie Güntzschel arrangement/organisation/lyrics: Mario Fritzsche lyrics: Gunnar Bock The time has come for the Davantage boys to reveal their new side-project featuring female singer Melanie G. Future Trail offers an interesting combination of unique female vocals (I might maybe compare to Propaganda for the mood or the very first steps of Sonja with L'Ame Immortelle for the German tone) and melodic upbeat EBM music. In this genre, songs like "Escape", the very carrying "Greyhound Song" and its trancey sounds, "Snake River or yet the lovely 80's-like "Titan" are all definitely good examples to discover the band's talent. To avoid that boredom sets up, Future Trail also intermixed the high bpm tracks with smoother melancholic pieces recovering you with warm wafting synth layers. If "Big Sky Horizon" is a decent debut album, we feel that the female singer still has to feel comfortable in order to take more challenges and exploit her expression mode to the maximum. I only perceived her at best on a song like "Desert Lake" for example where she dares alternating spoken words and sung parts. Choruses in general could be more underlined and strengthened for a maximum enjoyment, but if you like modern cold wave electronics with female vocals, give it a try! official homepage : http://www.futuretrail.de [Lastfm] |

Their music is unique and the Maxi "Am I Dead" even made it in japanese charts. The two longplayers "Council of Love" and "Schwarzwald" (Black Forest) with all the songs recorded live using the church organ are the most innovative the Electro Scene had to offer since years. They allowed the band to perform on european festivals from Sweden to Italy. The Electro Duo grew now, 2009, to a regular band. The star Death Drummer Tyronne Silva, the US bass player Flex and two young keyboard players and sample specialists are on board now. Two killer ballerinas from the Berlin-based Staatsballett make the show complete. Together they deliver the audience 120 minutes perfect entertainment, show, dance and pure Rock"n"Roll.

Novalis Deux (or simply Novalis as they were known at this time) are a neo folk band that was founded in 2000 by Marcel Henkel (Keyboards & Vocals) and Stev Schumann (Lead Vocals & Guitar).

In 2001 the EP 'First Cadence" saw release followed by the debut album 'Last Years Calling" the following year. In 2005 the band released their second album titled 'Paradise...?" After some silence the band changed their name to Novalis Deux (meaning "Two" in French) to differentiate themselves from the old German progressive rock group of the same name. In 2008, and under they new name, they realased their last opus to the date: "Ghosts Over Europe". [Lastfm] |

Seventh Harmonic (S/GB)  | Genre: Darkwave, Gothic, Ethereal, To Explore, Metallis
Seventh Harmonic are an all-female neo-classical ensemble formed in London, UK in Autumn 1999 by multi-instrumentalist Caroline Jago, creating sensual euphoric dreamscapes which draw on a great diversity of influences. The music blends an intoxicating kaleidoscope of rhythmic intensity and soaring vocals with ethno-symphonic overtures, defying categorisation yet always beating with a dark symphonic heart. The videos on their Youtube channel augment the visual responses which the music evokes: http://www.youtube.com/user/SEVENTHHARMONICvideo The multi-vocalist project went into hibernation in 2004 - all the album/lyric information, photos, interviews etc from this period are archived at http://vzone.virgin.net/seventh.harmonic. The remaining members joined Sol Invictus who went on to play with Arcana in Autumn 2008, and a friendship was formed between the two bands which led to Ann-Mari from Arcana offering to sing for Seventh Harmonic a year later. New material is being worked on, and the band are also currently confirming appearances on the 2010 European festival circuit. The entire Seventh Harmonic discography is available on their BANDCAMP page, where you can stream the song files and download any track in any format - Ogg Vorbis, Apple Lossless, FLAC, AAC (aka .m4a or iTunes store format), mp3 (320k, VBR): http://seventhharmonic.bandcamp.com. http://www.myspace.com/seventhharmonic http://seventhharmonic.bandcamp.com http://www.youtube.com/user/SEVENTHHARMONICvideo http://vzone.virgin.net/seventh.harmonic [Lastfm] |

Loell Duinn (HR)  | Loell Duinn (loell d^in), as such, was born in spring of 2002 as a result of various musical projects dating from 1995., taking many forms as the times were changing and events took its places. (As you well know our country was stroke down by political changes that ended up with 6 year lasting war) Until now we have composed some fusion of Arabic, Spanish, Balkan and local sounds using different languages, such as English, Croatian, Swedish, local dialects and invented languages. All the songs are composed as vocal-instrument parts that are tending to mellow, melancholic melodies connecting ethnic/folk elements with norms of classical music through historical vision of medieval, renaissance and baroque music in a modern performance. At this moment we've finished the master CD of our new to be album including 13 songs as a retrospective of our artistic work from 2003 to 2007. All of the songs are our copyright works, that is, legally registered songs with the HDS ZAMP ((Croatian Composers" Society) which is a professional service that deals with the exercise and protection of music copyrights on the basis of the approval of the State Intellectual Property Office and in line with the Copyright Act).

Arcana (S)  | Genre: Dark Ambient, Neoclassical, Darkwave, Ambient, Ethereal
(there are four artists with this name) I. Arcana is a neoclassical/darkwave band from Sweden, formed in 1993. They merge classically- and medievally-inspired instrumental music with occasional vocals to arrive at a richly atmospheric and dark musical tapestry. Previously signed to the Cold Meat Industry label, the original line-up consisted of Peter Bjärgö and Ida Bengtsson, but since 2002 it changed line-up and now consists of Peter Bjärgö, Ann-Mari Thim, Stefan Eriksson, Ia Bjärgö and Mattias Borgh. Due to personal issues with Cold Meat Industry Peter dropped from the label and created his own label and mailorder called Erebus Odora. The label no longer exists, but the same Erebus Odora still exists as the studio where he is still active making his own music. Official website: www.erebusodora.net/arcana II. Arcana was a side project of bassist Bill Laswell's. On The Last Wave Laswell joins his deep-bass to free music pioneer and guitar legend Derek Bailey together with drumming demigod Tony Williams to create the ultimate freely improvising power trio. The other album put out under this group name as a Laswell project was Arc Of The Testimony, one of the last projects drummer Tony Williams would record before his untimely death. Instead of the trio format, Laswell adds guitarists Buckethead and Nicky Skopelitis, Graham Haynes on cornet, and saxophonists Byard Lancaster and Pharoah Sanders. Where The Last Wave harkens to Laswell"s work in Last Exit, Arc of the Testimony is more along the lines of Ekstasis or some of the instrumental Material work, such as Hallucination Engine.

Flint Glass (F)  | Genre: Dark Ambient, Industrial, Idm, Ambient, Rhythmic Noise
Gwenn Trémorin played bass guitar in a certain number of new-wave bands before he joined Stadium. Stadium was a noisy pop musical experiment, whose sound was influenced by such acts as Sonic Youth, Sebadoh and My Bloody Valentine. Trémorin describes himself as a person who has always been into very different kinds of music. As an adolescent, he was fond of new-wave bands like The Cure, Joy Division or Modern English. Indeed, melancholy of their music still has a strong influence on his own work. More recently he took a real interest in various types of experimental electronic music, with groups like Arovane, Beefcake, Black Lung, Aphex Twin, Ammo, Panacea, Somatic Responses, Pan Sonic, Vromb... among many others. Inspired by their "peculiar" aural experiments and also by his friend Matthieu Maire from Celluloid Mata (who had just created his label with Steph Alt, "Vaccum"), Trémorin decided to start his own label. Thus, in December 2000, Brume Records was born. Under the pseudonym of Flint Glass, he made his debut with the full-length album 'Hierakonpolis". And indeed, he could not introduce himself in a more convincing way. This debut is described by critics as representing some of the most innovative stylings towards rhythmic noise and dark ambient genres. Production-wise this is quite a dark recording, staying clear of the crisp, punchy approach of artists such as Mlada Fronta, for example. [Lastfm] |

During years Leif has also formed side-projects, such as Norm and MS Mono, both of them are active up to now. Whilst Mono no Aware has become one of the best known projects from German cult label Hands Productions, it is also considered one of the brightest rhythmic noise acts on the scene today, highly valued live-performer and fascinating noise-art composer. Mono no aware (物ã®å“€ã‚Ś, lit. "the pathos of things") is a Japanese term used to describe the awareness of the transience of things, and a gentle sadness at their passing. It is also referred to as the "ahness" of things/life/love. Stefan Böhm is now with S.I.N.A, Pzychobitch and solo as Nullvektor [Lastfm] |

Diamanda Galas (USA)  | Genre: Avant-garde, Experimental, Female Vocalists, Avantgarde, Singer-songwriter
Diamanda Gal s (born August 29, 1955) is a Greek-American avant-garde performance artist, vocalist, and composer. Gal s was born and raised in San Diego, California. She was classically trained in jazz piano from an early age, training which reveals itself consistently throughout all her work. Known for her distinctive, operatic voice, which has a three and a half octave range, Gal s has been described as "capable of the most unnerving vocal terror". Gal s often shrieks, howls, and seems to imitate glossolalia in her performances. Her works largely concentrate on the topics of suffering, despair, condemnation, injustice and loss of dignity. Critic Robert Conroy has said that she is 'unquestionably one of the greatest singers America has ever produced. She worked with many avant-garde composers including Phillip Glass, Terry Riley, John Zorn, Iannis Xenakis and Vinko Globokar. She made her performance debut at the Festival d"Avignon in France as the lead in Globokar"s opera, Un Jour Comme Une Autre which deals with the death by torture of a Turkish woman. The work was sponsored by Amnesty International. She also contributed her voice to Francis Ford Coppola"s film Dracula (1992) and appeared on the film"s soundtrack. Her work first garnered widespread attention with the controversial 1991 live recording of the album Plague Mass in the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York. [Lastfm] |

Lesung: "Miller"' Von Menschen, Mördern, Muttisöhnchen'  | Genre: Under 2000 Listeners, Punk Rock, Melody-core, Seen Live
There are multiple recording artists named Miller: 1. A 00"s German melodic punk/hardcore band. 2. A 60"s British psychedelic rock recording artist. Since the members of "Miller" from Bad Mergentheim (near Wuerzburg/Germany) have founded the band in November 2002 they"ve worked a lot on their sound and their style. In the beginning the main influence came from the roots of punkrock but as the time went by and the change of the members" musical tastes hardcore riffs and emocore influences more and more began to take over. Today the band calls its style, which isn"t that easy to define, "Punkstyle Melody Core". The English lyrics of the four musicians are about everything you read in the paper - when you can hardly believe your eyes and don"t even want to think about in your worst nightmares. It isn"t their part to point on everything bad in the world but within writing their lyrics about politics and social mistakes in an abstract way they make the listener think about what"s going on in this world. Until today they"ve released an EP called "The Century Of No Future" (2004) and an album called "As The Sun Falls Down" (2006). 2. Miller was a recording name for Pete Miller. He released at least two singles on Oak Records under this name in the mid-60"s, one of which, "Baby I Got News For You," has been referred to as one of the first truly psychedelic rock recordings. This single features heavily distorted dense guitars and strangely staccato vocals. Pete Miller would later release recordings under the name Big Boy Pete. [Lastfm] |

"Fejd formed in 2001 through a fusion of the folk music duo Rimmerfors and a couple of members from the metal band Pathos. Rimmerfors played folk music with medieval undertones, performing on contemporary instruments, and together with their childhood friends of Pathos, they transformed into a refined band with the best of both worlds - the feeling of metal in symbiosis with the sound, the melodic language and sadness of the nordic folk music. The brothers interest in swedish medieval folk music started back in 1995, commenced by music studying and the feeling of wanting to explore new musical ground and try something new. The brothers musical background, as well as their band mates, has its roots in heavy metal music. Inspiration is also drawn from like-minded bands such as Garmarna and Hedningarna. In addition to Fejd, the brothers Rimmerfors still performs every now and then as an acoustic duo." They released three demo albums so far: I En Tid Som Var (2002), Huldran (2004) and Eld (2006). They signed to Napalm Records in 2009 & released their first album so called "Storm". You could find here their website, myspace & their official forum. [Lastfm] |

Violet (D)  | Genre: Japanese, Experimental, Medieval, Ambient, Folk
1. J. Surak (aka Violet) is a veteran experimenter from Washington, DC. Since the early 1980s, he has explored the netherworld between improvisation and composition to create something between the two auditory realms of experimental music. Since his early recordings under the name -1348-, Surak established himself in the international hometaper underground network of the 1980s, releasing tapes on the his own Watergate Tapes imprint, along with such artists as Controlled Bleeding, F/i, and Kapotte Muziek; and collaborating with such icons as Zan Hoffman, Crawling with Tarts, and John Hudak. At the same time Surak performed with the notorious DC area industrial band New Carrollton. The 1990s found Surak living and performing in Russia. There he formed the group Sovmestnoye Predpriyatiye which created site specific works using found materials and sounds. At the turn of the millenium Surak created a new duo, V. which quickly blew out of the its initial framework of free improv into a unit that pushed the limits of composition, constantly reinventing itself with each recording and performance. After 11 albums in 2 years, the duo disbanded, leaving Surak to further continue explorations under his solo project called Violet. Found objects, microcassettes, damaged cds, prepared acoustic instruments, and old record players outfitted with foil are the tools of choice. Violet has collaborating with Alexei Borisov, Frans De Waard, Betrand Denzler, Michael Gendreau, Andrey Kiritchenko, Kotra, Francisco Lopez, Andreas Tilliander and many others. Since 2002 Violet has released numerous recordings in a variety of formats and has performed across the USA and Europe. [Lastfm] |

Svartsot (DK)  | Genre: Folk Metal, Viking Metal, Pagan Metal, Danish, Metal
Svartsot was started in February 2005 in Randers, Denmark, arising from the ashes of an earlier, more blackmetal-based folkmetal act. With the addition of Claus B. Gnudtzmann on vocals came a change in course for the lyrical content, with songs being now based on traditional Danish folklore and Nordic mythology. The music still kept elements of blackmetal, together with other contemporary metal-styles merged with Nordic folk music. Already within a couple months of the bands inception, a support slot was offered by goth/industrial act, Clonecircle, from Svartsots hometown, and the bands debut concert was played on the 12th May 2005, at Copenhagen's The Rock. Shortly after this concert, flautist and bodhran-player Stewart Lewis joined the band, bringing and added folk element and supporting Cris J. S. Frederiksens guitar leads. The band went into the rehearsal studio to consolidate all the elements before new concerts in the autumn of 2005. During this period original drummer Marcelo Freitas stopped due to career responsibilities. With just one month left before the autumn's concerts, new drummer Niels Thøgersen was brought into the line up. The first concert of the autumn season, supporting The Psyke Project and MCIP at Café Von Hatten in Randers, was a success, being played to a packed house. Other concerts during the autumn/winter season 2005/2006 saw the band refine their live performance, achieving praise from concert-reviewers as can be read on www.revolution-music.dk (in Danish).

Diary Of Dreams | Genre: Darkwave, Gothic, Electronic, Industrial, German
Diary of Dreams is a darkwave group from Düsseldorf, Germany. The lead singer and founding member Adrian Hates has produced most of the albums by himself or with minimal help from others. He rarely uses a full band, except when he is on tour. Adrian Hates was originally a classically trained guitarist and pianist, and subsequently bassist of Garden of Delight. He initiated the Diary of Dreams project in the late 1980s, taking the name from one of his early classical guitar compositions, 'Tagebuch der Träume". The first album, 'Cholymelan", appeared in 1994 on the Dion Fortune label. Encouraged by this success, Adrian formed his own label Accession and released a string of albums over the following years, building a loyal fanbase each step of the way. The second album 'End of Flowers" was released in 1996, expanding on the darkwave sound of the debut. 'Bird Without Wings" followed a year later, whilst the more experimental work 'Psychoma?" arrived in 1998. The first sign of consolidation came in 1999, when a compilation album 'Moments of Bloom" appeared, containing two reworked tracks from each album. The next two albums 'One of 18 Angels" and 'Freak Perfume" (plus its companion EP 'PaniK Manifesto") made greater use of electronic rhythms, resulting in greater club play and wider recognition for the band. Their 2004 'Nigredo" (a concept album inspired by a mythology the band designed themselves) saw a move back towards the more subtle, sparse concepts of old, but still featuring bursts of their more recent, dance-oriented sound. Songs from the Nigredo tour were later released on the live CD 'aLive" and the companion DVD 'Nine In Numbers". [Lastfm] |

Kommunity FK  | Genre: Deathrock, Post-punk, Gothic Rock, Gothic, Goth
Patrik Mata formed the legendary American band Kommunity FK in Los Angeles in 1978. Mata is the sole founding visionary, composer, lyricist, musical arranger, vocalist/guitarist, and style chameleon. When Kommunity FK was first formed by Mata there was no such thing as Gothic music, industrial music and any other terms known by the music scene of today. His vision was new and his creation was raw. First reviews of Kommunity FK were headlined with Patrik"s quotes such as "Any noise that fits...". Kommunity FK"s music was so artistic, so strong, so dark, yet so inspiring that the only term that even came around through the press to classify Mata"s band and music was "gloom & doom" and "deathrock". Mata and Kommunity FK was heavily inspired by Surrealist artists the likes of Dali, Jean Cocteau, and David Bowie. Within one year of live performances (all booked and promoted by Mata himself) Kommunity FK had attracted world wide attention as well as a record label.

Zeraphine  | Genre: Gothic Rock, Gothic, German, Darkwave, Gothic Metal
Zeraphine are a gothic alternative band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2000 by Sven Friedrich (vocals, programming, lead song writing) and Norman Selbig (guitars) from the then-defunct Dreadful Shadows. After the acclaimed goth rock band Dreadful Shadows decided to split and go their separate ways, Sven and Norman collaborated with ex-Dreadful Shadows producer Thommy Hein on a project called Helix. However, since the Helix name was under copyright by another band, they were forced to rename themselves Zeraphine - taken from the Hebrew bible"s concepts of the 'seraph" (or seraphim), which is a class of angel in traditional Judaism. This concept was purposely taken as an ironic gesture, given Sven"s lyrics are often critical of organized religion. Once Zeraphine, the band signed onto the Drakkar Entertainment record label. Originally, additional band members Manuel Senger (guitars), Michael Nepp (bass), and Marcellus Puhlemann (drums) joined the project as studio musicians. This changed after their debut album was released, and each member began contributing music and ideas to all following releases. Zeraphine"s debut album, 'Kalte Sonne" (2002), gained notoriety for it"s lyrics; unlike Dreadful Shadows, whose songs were written entirely in English, Sven elected to pen an album completely in German, citing that "I simply tried to transfer my style of writing to my mother tongue and I liked it quite a lot. I always thought it would be impossible." Their following album, 'Traumaworld" (2003), saw Sven return to English, with only two songs written in German. [Lastfm] |

Stereomotion (D)  | Genre: Dark Electro, Ebm, Industrial, Electro-industrial, Electro
Establishing STEREOMOTION in 2003, Florian Jäger created his individual definition of hard electronic music. Since then, the one-man project follows a clearly-defined concept with resolutely intense sound. With his futuristic fusion of modern Industrial, Electro and Trance elements blended with salient vocals, Florian Jäger puts listeners under his spell and lets them dip in into his gloomy visions of a world spinning toward annihilation. In this apocalyptic scenario he constructs with STEREOMOTION a musical sign of resistance alongside hope and a new beginning. In such fashion, STEREOMOTION symbolizes the two sides that put all our lives into chains: love and hate - life and death - past and future. With several demo/promotion-releases and sampler participations (e.g. Electro Steel Corp. Vol. 1.0 - ORKUS "Sampler of the month") STEREOMOTION already has accrued a quantum of national and international successes. With songs like "Torment" and "Holystigma", his tracks have quickly become definite entries on the playlists of many scene DJs and radio-stations in the last weeks. So it"s time for the debut-album "Resistance:2012" which is anticipated with pounding hearts and racing pulses by an ever-swelling fanbase. The 12 songs of the album mastered by echoRausch vary in the complete musical bandwidth which makes up the sound of STEREOMOTION. [Lastfm] |

Trial (D)  | Genre: Hardcore, Straight Edge, Ebm, Political, New School Hardcore
There are at least 4 bands called Trial: 1) Hardcore band from Seattle, Washington, United States. Since forming in 1994 the band has worked desperately to communicate their infusion of activism, emotion, anger and intensity in a world where people are more comfortable remaining sedate. Challenging that attitude, Trial has never given up, all the while fueled by a relentless desire to play hardcore music which is charged with political and personal fury. 2) A punk band from San Francisco, featuring Cyrnai (ex-Treason/Sleeping Dogs/State of Mind). They released one 7" ("Inborn System") and one LP entitled "Moments of Collapse" in 1986. 3) A german EBM band from Hannover active since 1991. 4) A traditional Metal band from Belgium. Pretty rare but truly West-Euro Metal in its most pure and gloriously blackened form. [Lastfm] |

The current band members are Dennis Ostermann, Joerg Schelte, Stefan Vesper and Antje Schulz. The first releases were the demo tape "Soundattack" (1992) and the rare double-tape "Hell Inside/Hell Outside" (1994) with great songs like "Moonshine 39" and "Answer in the Negative". Since then they have released a lot of great music, stuff which can"t be described in tags like dark, electro, futurepop or industrial. They"re combining male and heavenly female voices with sometimes hard, sometimes spheric electronic sounds, sometimes with guitars...but in each song is so much more...you have to listen between the lines!

The Klinik (B)  | Genre: Ebm, Industrial, Electronic, Electro-industrial, Minimal Electro
[1] Belgian pioneers of ebm and minimalist electro-industrial. Also known as The Klinik. See also Dive, Sonar, Monolith. In 1985, Verhaeghen joined forces with two other bands, Absolute Body Control (with Dirk Ivens and Eric van Wonterghem), and "The Maniacs" (Sandy Nys) to form one "super group" Absolute Controlled Clinical Maniacs. This rather unwieldy name was soon dropped in favour of the shorter name "The Klinik". Nys soon left the band to form Hybryds, followed in 1987 by van Wonterghem, leaving The Klinik as the "classic" duo of Dirk Ivens and Marc Verhaeghen. The Klinik soon made a name for themselves with their cold and harsh ebm sound and their live shows, where both Ivens and Verhaeghen performed with their heads wrapped in gauze, wearing long black leather coats. Ivens" hissing vocals and minimalist lyrics were complemented by Verhaeghen"s synthesizer skills and distorted trombone playing (the latter giving the music a slightly feverish sound). This however, did not last forever; after Time, an album neither member was fully pleased with, musical differences became too great, and they decided to go their separate ways. Ivens concentrated on his own project Dive, and Verhaeghen continued as Klinik; sometimes as a solo project, sometimes with various other members. Recently, Klinik is a Verhaeghen solo project, making mostly instrumental dark ambient techno. Most Klinik members have also been active outside the band. Ivens has been in bands such as Absolute Body Control, Dive, Sonar, and Blok 57; Eric van Wonterghem played with Ivens in Absolute Body Control, and has later been part of or collaborating with bands such as Insekt, Monolith, Dive and Sonar.

Blind Cave Salamander (I)  | Genre: Ambient, Psychedelic, Experimental, Dark Ambient, Cello
BLIND CAVE SALAMANDER Completely adapted to eternal darkness, the human fish hides in the depths of underground sources far from our inquisitive gaze. The pale skin contains no pigment and the tiny eyes can be seen only at the foetal stage. Later they athropy and skin grows over them. Approximately 25 cm long, with a flat tail surrounded by a skin-like fin, used for swimming, it is snake-like and this is the reason for its Latin species name anguinus (anguis = snake). It can also move using tvo pairs of legs - the front ones have three digits and the hind ones two. The entire body is more or less sensitive to light. environment. It breathes in three ways. It has an excellent sense of smell and it probably also has a highly specialised sense for weak electric currents, whic could partly explain its orientation abilities in the total darkness of the cave. On either side of its body, at the back of its head, there are three pairs of extended gills which have excellent blood circulation and are therefore of a bright red colour. In addition it has simple lungs, and when out of water it also breathes through its skin, for we must not forget that almost absolute humidity prevails in the cave environment. It eats small animals, such as cave shrimps, amphipods and the larvae of various insects. Sometimes, under the cover of the night, human fish swim to the cave exit where they hunt for small surface water animals. [Lastfm] |

Eldar (E)  | Genre: Jazz, Dark Ambient, Martial Industrial, Piano, Industrial
There are at least two artists, which use the same name: 1) With the release of re-imagination, his third CD for Sony BMG Masterworks, jazz pianist Eldar documents his transition from youthful prodigy to a creative artist with something to say. The release follows the 2006 CD Live at the Blue Note, which featured Eldar and his working trio with jazz trumpeters Chris Botti and Roy Hargrove as guest artists, and cemented Eldar's position as one of the most formidable jazz musicians of his generation. "[Eldar's] velocity is astonishing: totally clean two-handed unison lines at wind-spring tempos, single lines that twist and pivot through jagged harmonies, bass rumbles that erupt and explode into complex passagework in the mid or upper register," wrote Robert Doerschuk in a 4-star Downbeat review of Live at The Blue Note. "Other pianists have made similar impressions over the past several decades... Nobody, though, has quite reached the impossible, Conlon Nancarrow-like blizzard of stride, parallel chords, embellishments and general fireworks that Eldar ignites in his unaccompanied two-and-a-half-minute rampage through the closer, Take the A-Train... Few musicians on any axe swing like Eldar...his groove is intense and overwhelming. It's not the flash and fire that should stir interest in Eldar. It's what he does when the razzle-dazzle dies down and we sense substance within and beyond his pyrotechnics." [Lastfm] |

Nurse With Wound (GB)  | Genre: Experimental, Industrial, Noise, Avant-garde, Dark Ambient
Nurse With Wound or NWW is a London, UK based music band, formed in 1978 by Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill and Heeman Pathak. Their early recordings, all made quickly, were heavily influenced by free jazz and krautrock and were generally considered industrial music, despite the objections of the group. By 1981, only Stapleton was left from the original trio and he now regards 1982"s "Homotopy to Marie", as being the first proper Nurse With Wound release. There are now over 30 full length NWW titles. Stapleton"s fondness for dada, surrealism and absurdist humor are demonstrated in much of NWW"s output, which, though it draws directly on nearly every musical genre imaginable (from cabaret music to nursery rhymes to John Cage to The Beach Boys to krautrock to pop music to ambient music and Captain Beefheart) retains a distinctive and recognizable aura. Musique concrete may be the most prominent touchstone, due to Stapleton"s frequent - and often humorous - use of creative tape loops and editing. Athough NWW has a long and illustrious list of collaborators (most notably David Tibet of Current 93), at time of writing, NWW is effectively a duo of Stapleton and Colin Potter, the latter having first worked with NWW on 1992"s "Thunder Perfect Mind" when it was recorded at Potter"s ICR studio. Those interested in learning more should research the infamous "Nurse With Wound List". It is a list of band names of NWW"s obscure influences and it has become a kind of guide for those seeking fringe music of all kinds. [Lastfm] |

The name of the band is Lords Assistants, whats the meaning of this? Is the band a religious one? Lords Assistants: You wouldnt believe how often we have to answer this No there isnt any meaning and we are not religious. We just decided for this name, because of the irony. Tell us a brief history of Lords Assistants. How was the band formed and why? Lords Assistants: We were 3 school friends and met to play songs of our favorite band Depeche Mode. Just for fun. Are there any other reasons? We were no musicians, we just tried and we still just try. When I wrote the first song, Christian and Alex played some melodies and so the band was born. One year later we changed our band name and got the first gig. So we invested more time to get better results. It took 3 years, until the Song Behind his Words was released on a Newcomer-Sampler. Later Alex left the band, because he got a new job in another city. So a further cooperation was not needed. Your first album Thoughts & Memories is complete. How long did it take to complete the album and what was it like recording? Are you already working on the next release? Lords Assistants: It took 4 years to finish. So Thoughts & Memories seems to be a best of LA. A few songs on this LP were written 4 years ago, and we finally completed the rest. [Lastfm] |

The Golden Apes (D)  | Genre: Gothic Rock, Gothic, Goth Rock, German, Goth
The GOLDEN APES were founded in 1998 by Peer Lebrecht, Christian Lebrecht and Eric Bahrs. After live-appearances together with Scream Silence and Whispers in the Shadow the Band released their dark wave/postpunk-like debut-album "Stigma 3.am" in 2000, which found regardful attention by the audience and the press. In 2001 Drummer Nestor de Valley joined the Band and the result of the more stronger and the more intensive sound was the very dark and nihilistic album "Thalassemia". It followed concerts with Clan of Xymox, The Crüxshadows and Ikon. After some changes in the line-up (the Band's long time friend and live-keyboarder Sven Wolff became permanent member of the GOLDEN APES) the Band released "Helianthos and the War", their third studio-album. It was a balancing act between the experimental facings of the bands origins and the dark melancholy of their later work and it convinced even the last sceptics. This combination of earcatching melodies, an atmosphere, which oscillates between the singer's dark melancholic voice, powerful guitars and elegising soundscapes and the complex, surreal lyrics became soon the trademark of the band, then with their fourth album "Structures " (2004) they consolidated their reputation to be one of the most innovative and interesting German Goth-Rock Bands, proved by several sampler contributions and live-appearances at well-known festivals, most important the Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig/Germany.

Zeraphine are a gothic alternative band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2000 by Sven Friedrich (vocals, programming, lead song writing) and Norman Selbig (guitars) from the then-defunct Dreadful Shadows. After the acclaimed goth rock band Dreadful Shadows decided to split and go their separate ways, Sven and Norman collaborated with ex-Dreadful Shadows producer Thommy Hein on a project called Helix. However, since the Helix name was under copyright by another band, they were forced to rename themselves Zeraphine - taken from the Hebrew bible"s concepts of the 'seraph" (or seraphim), which is a class of angel in traditional Judaism. This concept was purposely taken as an ironic gesture, given Sven"s lyrics are often critical of organized religion. Once Zeraphine, the band signed onto the Drakkar Entertainment record label. Originally, additional band members Manuel Senger (guitars), Michael Nepp (bass), and Marcellus Puhlemann (drums) joined the project as studio musicians. This changed after their debut album was released, and each member began contributing music and ideas to all following releases. Zeraphine"s debut album, 'Kalte Sonne" (2002), gained notoriety for it"s lyrics; unlike Dreadful Shadows, whose songs were written entirely in English, Sven elected to pen an album completely in German, citing that "I simply tried to transfer my style of writing to my mother tongue and I liked it quite a lot. I always thought it would be impossible." Their following album, 'Traumaworld" (2003), saw Sven return to English, with only two songs written in German. [Lastfm] |

Kommunity FK (USA) | Genre: Deathrock, Post-punk, Gothic Rock, Gothic, Goth
Patrik Mata formed the legendary American band Kommunity FK in Los Angeles in 1978. Mata is the sole founding visionary, composer, lyricist, musical arranger, vocalist/guitarist, and style chameleon. When Kommunity FK was first formed by Mata there was no such thing as Gothic music, industrial music and any other terms known by the music scene of today. His vision was new and his creation was raw. First reviews of Kommunity FK were headlined with Patrik"s quotes such as "Any noise that fits...". Kommunity FK"s music was so artistic, so strong, so dark, yet so inspiring that the only term that even came around through the press to classify Mata"s band and music was "gloom & doom" and "deathrock". Mata and Kommunity FK was heavily inspired by Surrealist artists the likes of Dali, Jean Cocteau, and David Bowie. Within one year of live performances (all booked and promoted by Mata himself) Kommunity FK had attracted world wide attention as well as a record label. Kommunity FK has performed with: PiL Killing Joke Alien Sex Fiend Specimen The Jesus and Mary Chain Sex Gang Children Christian Death & Shadow Project Peter Murphy Nina Hagen Toys Dolls Lords of the New Church Modern English Gun Club Nick Cave Gene Loves Jezebel Flesh for Lulu 45 Grave Lydia Lunch The Virgin Prunes Xmal Deutschland Clan of Xymox and more legendary bands.

Militia is the name for 4 bands. 1) Militia is a Belgian industrial percussion band. It was founded in 1989 by the multi-instrumentalist Frank Gorissen and wind instrument player Jo Billen and now 6 musicians are involved. The band is known for its use of self made percussion and wind instruments and the scrap material they transform into musical instruments. The band"s music is often inspired by the anarchic and atheist social views and their concirn about our natural environment, themes that can be found in most of their lyrics and statements. In 1989, Frank Gorissen was active as a home recording electronic music artist and as an industrial music dj at the free radio station called "Radio Demervallei" in Diepenbeek, Belgium. As part of his show called "Radio Militia", he sometimes invited musicians to perform at the radio studio. During such an event he met the wind instrument player Jo Billen and together they founded the band Militia. Frank Gorissen recorded the early Militia music on tape, calling this project "Statement", playing a variety of percussion instruments mixed with the sounds of the wind instruments played by Jo Billen. They showed these tapes and talked about their plans of releasing their music to Mike Dando a.k.a Con-Dom, a British noise act, after they attended his performance in Antwerp. Mike Dando presented the band to the German music label Praxis Dr. Bearmann, after he had incorporated some of the Militia music for a few of his own releases. [Lastfm] |

Formed in 1999 by vocalist/guitarist COUNT LYLE (Solitude Aeturnus, The Killcreeps), Ghoultown recorded its first 3-song EP in October of that same year. Titled BOOTS OF HELL. With BOOTS OF HELL in circulation, the band"s early buzz landed them several compilation appearances. The most notable being Skully Records" (NY) GOTHABILLY 2: ROCKIN" NECROPOLIS where they share the bill with psychobilly acts around the world. As a kick off, the band was invited to participate in the world-release show held at NY"s infamous CBGB"s on Halloween 2000. In early 2001 Ghoultown released their full-length debut TALES FROM THE DEAD WEST. The album, produced by Kol Marshall (Mercyful Fate, etc.), captured the versatility and unique sound of the Texan quintet from the powerful "Killer in Texas" to the Doors-esque "Running From the Sun." With highlight performances such as an Atlanta benefit, which featured Jerry Only of the Misfits as an onstage guest, Ghoultown has played with a variety of bands such as Hank III, Rocket From the Crypt, The Independents, DRI, Bile, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Flametrick Subs, Dick Dale, Road Kings, Men of Porn, Captured By Robots, Fear, Cruxshadows, and The Misfits. By 2002 Ghoultown invaded the film world when four of their tunes were chosen for the soundtrack of the horror-slasher, AMERICAN NIGHTMARE, starring b-movie queen Debbie Rochon (TROMEO & JULIET). As a testament to their memorable live show, the movie script was subsequently altered to include a Ghoultown performance cameo after the director witnessed the band live, and the video for their track "Killer In Texas" was included as a bonus on the DVD.
