The news pages will these days be mostly covered by the Rewind Fest and that is of course because this two day festival in Gent is the musical event we're most looking forward to.
As promised, every day, we'll put a band in the picture that will be on the festival. Especially read about those you know not so much about, as you might miss something.
Simi Nah perhaps. Those who were at BIMfest know that this is a concert that cannot be missed.

Chris Burda and Martin Grimm, of Hamburg, Germany, founded the instrumental music project Collapse Under The Empire in the summer of 2008. In a short time, international magazines including Q-Magazine, Rocksound, and Clash took notice of the band and became excited about the cinematic sound of their first two albums. They appeared, for example, on the legendary Emo Diaries compilation on Deep Elm. After their psychedelic mini-album "The Sirens Sound" and the split EP "Black Moon Empire" with the russian band Mooncake, Collapse Under The Empire released the first part of their double concept work, "Shoulders & Giants" in fall 2011. With "Framgents Of A Prayer" and the new mini-album "The Silent Cry", they shorten the waiting time on the long-awaited second part of their concept work, "Sacrifice & Isolation", which will appear in November 2013.
On "The Silent Cry", Collapse Under The Empire demonstrates their facet-rich side and cover a great mix of styles in six tracks. Everything is represented, including electronic playfulness, strong outbursts, and orchestral and piano tracks. Every track generates its own voice and depth and stands on its own.
The single "We Are Close As This" will be released on March 15, 2013. It sounds like the soundtrack to a dusky science fiction film with its threatening undertones.
