Dependent Records announces the signing of This Morn' Omina and the release of their forthcoming album "Kundalini Rising" on Dependent. The collaboration between Mika Goedrijk and Karolus Lerocq, who joined the lineup in 2010 has often been hailed as the pioneers of the Tribal Industrial genre. However, the band itself rather labels its music as "Ritual Musik". We were specifically impressed by the concept and the scope of the new album in which the band has both developed and extended their scope of sound, yet made it deeper and a tad darker. We can promise an impressive album for old and new fans alike.
"This Morn' Omina had become full circle after the last release. Signing to Dependent means a new lease on musical life. A new aural direction had already been taken but now we also have the opportunity to share it with the audience in the way that we intended. Now finally everyone can come together and experience our new musical journey."
Astari Nite’s new album, Until the End of the Moon, evokes the early melodies of Manchester’s post punk sound. The LP, out today via Dance Macabre Records (Berlin) is the second full length to be released by the Miami band.
The songs included in Until the End of the Moon consolidate Astari Nite’s search for a sound that with deep vocals, dramatic bass lines and nostalgic guitars combines the depth of goth with the speed and flexibility of indie rock.
"I find Until the End of the Moon to be quite compelling. The maturity of the album resonates throughout and I personally feel that the listener will have a strong image of what in fact is being spoken upon," says lead singer Mychael Ghost.
The band kicked off their East Coast tour last week with a powerful show at Respectable Street in West Palm Beach, and will be performing tonight at Kill Your Idol, Miami. In support of the album Astari Nite will perform in New York City, Charlotte and Orlando among others.
America's best kept musical secret in the realm of dark, atmospheric Art Rock signs with Prophecy Productions
Dark, atmospheric art rock band 1476 has signed with Prophecy Productions (Empyrium, Alcest, Arcturus, Antimatter). A duo consisting of musicians Robb Kavjian and Neil DeRosa, 1476 creates monumental music that draws upon elements from many genres including metal, dark indie rock, neofolk and ambient. The band harbors an energy and mood that reflects the old, haunting landscapes of New England's coastal regions as well as the members' personal spiritual / philosophical interests and practices.
Imagine an unmistakably unique band, active for several years, while performing and self-releasing three majestic albums and two heady EPs, flying secretly under the radar of record labels, music media and the wider public at large. Not possible in these modern times of unfiltered music availability and the information superhighway, you say? Meet New England's 1476, America's best kept musical secret in the realm of dark, atmospheric Art Rock!
To celebrate, Prophecy will reissue 1476's 2012 release, "Wildwood", enhanced with the addition of the band's "The Nightside" EP, as well as the rest of the group's back catalog, including the 2010 EP "Smoke In The Sky" (enhanced with the recording of a 2010 live concert) and the soundtrack, "Edgar Allen Poe: A Life Of Hope & Despair", this July.
In 2009, NO TEARS gave many concerts, from Brussels to Napoli in Italy, via Paris, Roma... This release is a witness of one great year. Sounds were caught directly from the live mixing tables during 2 concerts in Belgium and France. It's the opportunity of revisit tracks from the 3 NO TEARS previous albums "Borderline", "Obsessions" and "Fragments" , and several unpublished tracks only played live.

Indiana based composer Rob Funkhouser was given the source material for the Drekka LP, 'Unbeknownst to The Participants at Hand' (2015, Dais Records), in addition to various live recordings containing proto evolving versions of the works which form the LP.
Funkhouser extensively reworked and embellished these source materials into an entirely new work.
Funkhouser says of the project:
"Approaching the work of Drekka is an exercise in sifting through layers. In the files he sent me, it became apparent that there was a whole sonic universe hiding in the realm of near-silence that has characterized much of his recent work.
Thus in many ways the beginning of this project was my attempt to view and ultimately get inside this universe without destroying it in the process. I eventually got lost within it and as a result the project feels like a map back to my own musical space.
There are times in these pieces where I cannot tell you what I made and what came from the source material without having the original file in front of me. This makes these special. I still can’t seem to get home without a map."
