ZOMBIE GIRL returns with a brand new studio album on Alfa Matrix and this in various formats. The band around Renee Cooper is the best selling act on Alfa Matrix, and that immediately since the debut album "Blood, Brains & Rock'n Roll" was released. This time she joined up with the production team consisting of Kurt Maas & Dave Rave Ogilvie to deliver more crunchy beats and dark atmospheres.
Did you survive her last “Panic Attack”? Well… your favorite ZOMBIE GIRL will make you bleed some more! This time, the undisputed singing siren of the living dead, and one of Alfa-Matrix's leading artists, ZOMBIE GIRL strikes back with her new full length album “Killer Queen” out on Halloween 2015…!!!
Produced & engineered by none other than the highly skilled and renowned duo team of Kurt Maas & Dave Rave Ogilvie, this new album invites you to open up and enjoy these new “ZBM” tunes going from catchy dance pop songs to harsher somber distorted tracks. Boosted by dancefloor guru Lawrie Bayldon (STUDIO-X)’s mastering skills, the electrifying “Killer Queen” shakes your stereo system to the max with ZOMBIE GIRL’s characteristic heavy vibrating basslines, addictive kinky grooves and that soooo unique hypnotizing female voice that keeps haunting you days and nights…
Fall under her spell, join her zombie army and let ZOMBIE GIRL guide you through her new nightmarish journey through the walking dead, made of tracks like the ultimate hellish dance of “Rave Of The Dead”, the killer industrial opener “Thorazine”, the bleeding elektro assault of “Panic Attack”, the tormented dark pop title-track “Killer Queen”, the almost filmatic hot S/M session of “Pleasure Games”, the apocalyptic slo-mo groove of “Dead Inside”, the late night psychedelic craziness of “Night Drive” or yet the much 80’s inspired lamenting love song from beyond the grave “Kiss Kiss Kiss”…
The album also gets augmented by cover versions of BERLIN’s classic “Pleasure Victim” and THE CURE’s unmatched, “Fascination Street”, next to 4 dancefloor compatible remixes: the instant future-pop club hit “Rave Of The Dead” by PRE:EMPTIVE STRIKE 0.1, the modern dance retake of “Dead Inside” by AESTHETISCHE label mates, the bombastic orchestral dark reinterpretation of the “Pleasure Games” sessions by Japanese cult act DIABOLIC ART (DJ Taiki) and a harsh and heavy guitar crossover sonic rape of the “Killer Queen” by mister HELL:SECTOR…The whole zombie adventure being visually immortalized by the unique Japanese designer Tomoki Hayasaka (www.sheerheart.jp)...
The new era from ZOMBIE GIRL has commenced… Get ready for the new ZBM! Go Zombie… Go Zombie… Go ZOMBIE GIRL! “Stay away from the dead… They've all gone wrong… gone wrong, wrong, WRONG!”
The album is also available in a deluxe 2CD carton box edition with a bonus disc including an exclusive collaboration with HELALYN FLOWERS (and guest backing vocals by n0emi) and other remix work by an eclectic selection of artists in the like of PSY’AVIAH, ACYLUM, SIMON CARTER, VENAL FLESH, LLUMEN, PAX SONO, AVARICE IN AUDIO, EEXXEE, CARDINAL NOIRE, BLACK NAIL CABARET, SHADES:OF:HELL, COMPLEX MIND, DIFFUZION…

Just over a week ago The Black Heart Rebellion premiered the first single "Near To Fire For Bricks" of their upcoming album: "People, when you see the smoke, do not think it is fields they're burning." (out 23.10 on 9000 records) at Studio Brussel.
Since then the track has reached the Top 22 playlist on 22Tracks and has been included in the Zender playlist. Meanwhile T.B.H.R has been working hard on the visual for "Near To Fire For Bricks" together with Maanlander.
In the words of T.B.H.R:
"The video for Near To Fire For Bricks will fix your eyes on the creeping portrait of a timeless space. Once inside, an hour may take a lifetime and you notice gravity has failed, twisting and turning seemingly at random. The viewer is absorbed in a story detached from time and space. Unhurried it compels, with enough time for all the detail to soak in. And it does. The video leaves you with a heavy feeling on your chest and a craving to return to the rhythmic pulse of the song. The first single from TBHR’s new album is an exercise in desolation and restraint and both the video from Maanlander and the soothing voices of Pieter Uyttenhove and Annelies Vandinter accentuate those feelings better than we dared to hope for."
Ten years down the road and The Black Heart Rebellion (T.B.H.R.) are still steadily evolving. Tribal influences are slowly permeating an irreversible change in TBHR, who invite their audience to listen closely to their third studio album titled “People when you see the smoke, do not think it is fields they’re burning.”
Every recording is an exercise that shares the research for what might be their next sound. The new album is as much a snapshot of the present, as a prediction for the future of the band. Where “Har Nevo” from 2013 promised a golden land, the path of its successor is not without trial. “Har Nevo” revealed a crossroad of possible outcomes and in little more than a year TBHR found an answer. New directions have found their way into their music, telling us that the search may never be over.
The elements that bound “Har Nevo” together have been dismantled and restored. Born again in a more consistent ambient character, that may in the end replace the violent crash of cymbals and screeching distortion of guitars. The new album definitely marks an end of sorts, it is pointing towards something on the horizon, an image or a sound coming into being.
“People, when you see the smoke, do not think it is fields they’re burning” was recorded and mixed by Koen Gisen and mastered by Frederik Dejongh (Jerboa) and will be released on October 23rd through 9000 Records.

French graphic designer and musician Dehn Sora, (aka Treha Sektori), compiled over two years of his visual work taken from exhibitions, carefully selected works commissioned by various international musical acts and labels (Blut aus Nord, Church of Ra, Manes, Cyclic Law and more) and also presents us two full series of new artworks.
The book is accompanied by a 25 minutes album of previously unreleased material specially created for this book release. Titled “The Sense of Dust and Sheer” and composed as a soundtrack to the books visuals, it is a collaboration between Dehn Sora’s own project, TREHA SEKTORI, and the solo project of Swiss composer Sam Vaney, MUHD (of Cortez fame). A unique addition to this album is the rare presence of KRISTOFFER RYGG from ULVER, contributing his always poignant vocal skills to the whole, making this ep a very special piece in itself.
Divided into four chapters, Dehn Sora exposes his chimerical visual obsessions through the hidden symbolism of animality and manifests sacred, unknown mythologies. Each pieces are accompanied by a written comment, complementing their deeper meaning.
Edition of 300 copies.
Book Format: 7x10". Spot UV lettering on Hardbound cover. 100 pages. Matte Finnish.
CD: 1 Track. Running Time 25:00
