Celebrating the full moon, witchy goth pop artist Metamorph gleams with their new single, "Witchlit". The track will appear on the forthcoming Metamorph LP due out this fall.

"Witchlit" is a song of broken hearts, of abuse, power, twin flames and the craving for love. When nothing makes sense in the light, we search in the darkest nights.

Let’s shine through our sorrows, through our shadows, through this dystopian chaos we live in. Together, witchlit, we can illuminate the darkest corners of the planet.

"Witchlit" was written and conceived by witchy singer & flutist Margot Day and produced by the Metamorph "Alchemist", Cleopatra Recording artist Erik Gustafson of Adoration Destroyed.

Available on all major streaming platforms including Bandcamp.

Today it’s exactly 38 years ago that The Klinik (at that time called Absolute Controled Clinical Maniacs) performed at Xenon (10.03.1985, Aarschot, Belgium). Two tracks, Sick In Your Mind and Vietnam which were recorded during this live show, appeared later that same year on the first The Klinik album Sabotage.
After this release The Klinik soon made a name for themselves with their cold and harsh EBM sound and their live shows, where they performed with their heads wrapped in gauze, wearing long black leather coats.
Even today, Sabotage is still considered as one of the most influential electro-industrial-EBM albums and became a must have collector item.

Sabotage (Tracklist)

Since the early eighties Dirk Da Davo has been a driving force in the Belgian (and European) flourishing electronic scene with his first project The Neon Judgement.

From the late 1980s, he began to branch out, starting with the release of a solo EP “Where Even Angels Fall” and later revamping himself under the guise of 'Neon Electronics ', as well as even starting a record label as Dancedelic-D, which, apart from Neon Electronics and The Neon Judgement's work, also featured releases from artists such as Radical G or The Horrorist (let alone releases of collaborations with the likes of The Hacker and Jean-Marie Aerts (JMX) (formerly of TC Matic ).

Nowadays relocated to sunny Spain after such a long time in the spotlight, Dirk Da Davo, as himself and with no more project names attached, more recently launched a batch of new material, often incorporating elements in collaboration with others, such as the Mexican bass and slide guitarist Sanchez (under the DD SANCHEZ flag) and the co-production with Jean-Marie Aerts ( JMX) under DDDJMX.

This retrospective album gives an idea of the scope of the work, as well as the trajectory made sound-wise, from the early solo sessions of the 80s to current material...!

“Retrospective 1987-2023” will be available on a high quality 180g vinyl record with your preference of either a black record with a red centre blob, or a red vinyl with a black 'marbled' effect. The album also contains 1 previously unreleased new track!

Tracklist:

A1. KING OF FOOLS
A.2. OZZ (feat DDDJMX, with Jean-Marie Aerts (JMX))

The Song Of Trees is the debut album from dark electronic folk band, Hem Netjer. It was written mostly remotely during the height of the lockdowns.

The album is a musical journey through the five elements; Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Void. With three singles already released, The Song Of Trees entices the listener to look within themselves, in hopes to find something from each stage of the elemental journey that can be used within their daily lives.

The journey starts off with Void, the nothingness, the empty state of being where one can relax and just be in an open state. Next we move to Salt And Tears, where the water consumes you, allowing the waves to wash away that which doesn't serve you.

The next stage is Eldur, where the fire will ignite the passion behind that which does serve you and rekindle a reminder of what you value within yourself. Freedom represents the air we breathe. This air reminds you to go with the flow and to let the journey take you to where it is needed. Next, with Connect we go deep into the earth to ground and root yourself, to keep you stable in a fluctuating world.

On the second last stage, we see all the elements coming together in "Elemental Cry", to help release your inner warrior within. Lastly, our final stage, Otherworld, reminds us to work alongside those that are no longer around or those that are not always known, to find the connection with ourselves.

The Song of Trees was on February 28 on all major digital platforms including Bandcamp.

'No Time To Cry' was The Sisters of Mercy's single No. 9, released in advance of their first studio album First And Last And Always and was released on 8 March 1985, 38 years ago!

While the previous advanced First Last And Always single ‘Walk Away’ managed to penetrate the UK single charts to the 45th position, ‘No Time To Cry’ got stuck at the 63rd place.

The appearance of Craig Adams on this release is questioned, especially on Blood Money and Bury Me Deep. Rumor has it that the bass lines were programmed on the Doktor, as Adams supposedly was reluctant to participate in their recording.

No Time To Cry (Lyrics)

It's just a feeling
I get sometimes
A feeling
Sometimes
And I get frightened
Just like you
I get frightened too
But it's...
No time for heartache
(no no no) No time to run and hide
(no no no) No time for breaking down
(no no no) No time to cry

Sometimes in the world as is you've
Got to shake the hand that feeds you
It's just like Adam says
It's not so hard to understand
It's just like always coming down on
Just like Jesus never came and
What did you expect to find
It's just like always here again it's...

No time for heartache

(no no no) No time to run and hide
(no no no) No time for breaking down
(no no no) No time to cry

Everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still can't sleep
And the voices pass with time
And I keep
No time for tears
No time to run and hide
No time to be afraid of fear
I keep no time to cry
No time for tears
No time to run and hide
No time to be afraid of fear
I keep no time to cry
No time for heartache

(no no no) No time to run and hide
(no no no) No time for breaking down
(no no no) No time to cry
