15.11.2011 London, Royal Albert Hall

Lords of Acid, the legendary Belgian dance-industrial band, return with the act's first release in a decade coming this fall. The title is still a secret but in advance of the upcoming album, Lords Of Acid presents the sleazy EP Little Mighty Rabbit. Filled with their patented brand of rocking electro-sex, the EP features three all new songs and remixes from KMFDM, tweaker, Christopher Lawrence, DJ Micro, AK1200, and more!
Also, with the 2009 album HElicopTEr, electronic gurus cEvin Key (Skinny Puppy) and Phil Western strayed away from the more atmospheric, IDM-flavored electronica of the acts previous releases. Giving it a retro feeling through the use of some old analog machines, the album will see a re-release this autumn with the addition of three new tracks: Wookie Wall, Casm and Jark.
And last but not least, under the moniker MELT, Sebastian Komor is ready with his new album Emissions Of Hypocrisy. Komor creates a raw, aggressive blend of guitar industrial rife with electro-EBM hooks and machine-gun rhythms. With contributions from ex-Front Line Assembly drummer Adrian White and mixing by Rhys Fulber, Emissions Of Hypocrisy shows once again that Komor's talents are not confined to any one subgenre.
