A SPLIT-SECOND headline at GENTSE FEESTEN (Walter De Buckplein) on Sunday July 21st
Sometimes a band has to be patient...
Since their founding (1985) A SPLIT-SECOND has made a blitz career all over the world and soon, although somehow reluctant, they found themselves at the cradle of a music genre with the release of their undergroud club hit "Flesh" (1987). A song that would place Belgian electronic music on the map of global electronic dance music, namely New Beat!
This year however, after many successful releases and numerous performances around the world, the band has finally been invited to play at one of the largest (FREE) city festivals GENTSE FEESTEN in their own home Ghent!
A Split-second will perform as headliner on the main stage on Walter De Buckplein and this even on the Belgian National celebration Day, Sunday 21 July!

Soms moet een band wat geduld hebben... Sinds hun oprichting (1985) maakte de band een blitzcarrière over de gehele wereld en stond ze al snel, hoewel niet echt bewust en gewild, zelfs aan de wieg van een muziekgenre met hun undergroud-clubhit 'Flesh' (1987). Een song en genre dat de Belgische electronisch muziek op de kaart zou plaatsen van de wereldwijde elektronische dance-muziek, namelijk New Beat!
Dit jaar, na vele sucesvolle releases en talloze optredens over de hele wereld, werd de band uitgenodigd om te spelen op één van de grootste (GRATIS) stadsfestival van hun eigen bakermat, Gent!
A Split-second zal er optreden als headliner op het hoofdpodium op het Walter De Buckplein en dit nogwel op de Belgische Nationale feestdag, zondag 21 juli!

LIYA explains that “‘No Meaning’ deals with depression after a breakup… where there is no meaning to life and everything seems dark.” As she relates that every track on the EP is based on “true experiences I’ve had with the concept of love,” she continues, “Apparently for me heartache goes hand in hand in fueling your creativity.”

Chicago's One-Woman Electro-Industrial Act I YA TOYAH Releases 'FLASHBACK (Rhys Fulber Remix)' Video
Chicago's one-woman electro-industrial army, I YA TOYAH is very proud to announce the new video release for "Flashback (Rhys Fulber Remix)."
Check the video out HERE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHDhRDjctww
"FLASHBACK" was remixed by Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Delerium) and the music video was filmed by Lumbra Records. Original mix appears on I YA TOYAH's full-length album CODE BLUE.
"FLASHBACK (Rhys Fulber Remix)" is available digitally NOW on all major outlets and can be heard on SPOTIFY.
Rhys Fulber called this version of Flashback "a sadness on the dancefloor." "I envisioned Berlin at 4 am," he said. With the visual magic created by Lumbra Records, the viewer is teleported to Chicago reality-city lights, rush of life, and...mental alienation. The video was filmed in the middle of a cold April night. Various locations include Michigan Avenue, Bucktown, Lincoln Park and more.
I YA TOYAH landed here to spread the disease of music and infect the human race. She is a one woman army that blends the chaos and balance with familiar vibe of industrial electronica sound. Her music is a fusion of smooth, cutting edge vocals, surreal guitars, hypnotizing beats and multiple electronic synth elements arising into dark arrangements that, combined with storytelling lyrics, respond to the paranoia of everyday reality.
The Joy Thieves Sign To Armalyte Records And Announce ‘THIS WILL KILL THAT’ EP
MINISTRY’S CHRIS CONNELLY FEATURES ON THE BAND’S DEBUT RELEASE, DUE OUT ON 28 JUNE 2019.
Chicago-based Industrial Rock supergroup The Joy Thieves have joined forces with the UK’s leading alternative label Armalyte Industries and will be releasing their ‘This Will Kill That’ debut on 28 June 2019.
With over 30 active members, The Joy Thieves ever-growing, shape-shifting line-up includes current, former and touring members of Ministry, Stabbing Westward, Revolting Cocks, Pigface, Marilyn Manson, The Dead Boys, Blue October, Chant, Cocksure, The Lords Of Acid, Skatenigs, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Mary’s Window, Machines Of Loving Grace and more. The Joy Thieves' sound consists of huge, memorable riffs combined with dangerous, industrial strength punk invective that easily rivals Killing Joke at their finest.
Commenting on the newest addition to the Armalyte roster, the label’s head of A&R, Giles Moorhouse, explains; “To us, it feels as though The Joy Thieves transcend the traditional notion of what a “supergroup” can be. Rather than a potential car-crash of colliding agendas and egos, The Joy Thieves sound like a finely-honed collective with the singular purpose of kicking your arse whilst lodging themselves firmly in your brain. ‘This Will Kill That’ is just the beginning, and we’re massively excited to unleash their spectacular debut on the world.”
‘This Will Kill That’ Tracklist:
1. Joy Thieves
2. This Will Kill That
3. Chemical Dreams
4. Tempting the Flames
5. Violent Lucidity
6. Honeycomb and Silk
“I wanted to do something big. When I saw how tall Dan (Milligan) is, I knew it was the right project for me. Also I hate Joy.” – Marcus Eliopulos
“When Dan asked me if I wanted to be a part of The Joy Thieves, my first visceral reaction was ‘Absolutely not. No way in Hell.” To this day I stand by that statement. It was horrible working with him and Matt Clark this first time around, and I cannot wait to repeat that miserable experience.” – Howie Beno
“Dan and Matt (Clark) had apparently been stalking me in my early days, while I was involved in various groups that they thought were really amazing – Machines Of Loving Grace, Stabbing Westward, Two Jacks and a Jill, and Pigface. Many have said this. Good people. Dan and Matt thought some of these bands were probably the best bands ever. Many people think this, important people in the industry. So Matt bribed me to do a “session” at his “studio”, in “Austin, Texas”, which was really just a ploy to get me to track something for Dan, while I was there anyways. And then we fell in love.” – Dave Suycott
