One of the most successful German Electro-bands returns with a new single! „Sick Man“ is a relentless dance commando, a well-aimed attack on all the club floors of this world. The new Maxi-CD is released in a hand-numbered Digipak, strictly limited to 888 copies world-wide.

To call Funker Vogt an established institution in the German Electro-scene would almost be a criminal understatement, as the trio has been one of the most popular bands in the wide crossover between EBM, Industrial and melodic hard Electronica for years. The songs always hit you straight in the eye, the band produces a steady string of guaranteed floor fillers and will turn any concert hall around the globe into a jam-packed cauldron of searing madness. Introducing new singer Sick Man and a brand-new single sporting his name, Funker Vogt are now making a definitive statement: we are stronger than ever and anything that carries the Funker-Vogt-brand means war on the dance floor! Period. No remorse. On the new single, the band has driven the trademark, sweat-inducing fusion of pumping EBM-basslines, technoid inferno-beats, massive trance licks, hard verses and anthemic chorus parts to a new all-time high and sounds as fresh, compact and hard as ever. The second new song, „The Last Awakening“ brings out the melodic side of Funker Vogt and pushes it to perfection and the lads have conjured up three high-pressure mixes of the title song and two versions of the b-side to ensure that this new release is pure dance-floor-bliss! This is Funker Vogt 2.0 – We came to kick your collective ass! This is a declaration of dance floor war!

Vic Anselmo’s stunning voice and eclectic musical style have made her a notable alternative artist. Vic’s sensual songs reflect the dynamics of her emotions. She has been on tour with Deine Lakaien, Das Ich, Anneke van Giersbergen and Antimatter.

Dear friends!

My name is Vic Anselmo, I am a singer and songwriter. Some of you may know me from my two previous releases; “Trapped In A Dream” and “In My Fragile…”.

I am extremely excited to announce that I am about to record my 3rd album “Who Disturbs The Water”, which will be released early 2015.

The video above is an acoustic version of my brand new song “Daylight” and offers a little taste of what you can expect on the album.

This record deals with the concept of water as a symbol of transformation, power, clarity and tranquility. The album will be dedicated to my late father, who was a Latvian seaman. 

All the songs have already been written, they only need to be recorded and now I turn to you for some help and assistance!

Breakdown

My goal is to raise 9,000 EUR to help fund this recording. So, if you are considering helping me out, here is where the money will go to:

- Studio time, mixing and mastering

- Artwork, pressing and packaging

- Promotion

Here is what you get!

I have put together some cool perks in exchange for your support. The album will be released early 2015, but I will keep you up to date via this campaign.

Even if you don’t have any money to donate to the campaign, I appreciate you helping spread the word!

Thanks so much for your support and for being a part of this journey with me!

Peace and love!

The Germany based label Basic Unit Announces they have signed the Synthpop act Black Nail Cabaret.

Black Nail Cabaret is a Hungarian noir synthpop duo from Budapest. Formed in 2008, the group consists of Emese „Emke“ Arvai-Illes (vocals) and Zsofia “Sophie” Tarr (keyboards). Since the very beginning the girls work together with producer Krisztian “Devon” Arvai, who also serves as their sound engineer at live shows. Satisfaction is the precursor of Black Nail Cabaret´s second album “Harry Me, Marry Me, Bury Me, Bite Me”, which will cover the full range of the band´s “Pop Noir”. The album will be released by Basic Unit Productions in Europe and Negative Gain Productions in North & South America in March 2015.

Emese about Satisfaction:

“Almost all people who knew the song previously associated it to sexuality and pleasure. It is actually the opposite: we've been all through this, living on your own, have no one to talk to or have sex with, so there is only your imagination and no matter how hard you try, at some point you'll feel frustrated. Even depressed, like going down a funnel, and you're more and more desperate about getting out, which makes things even harder. We're very happy with Bianka Vago's video, I think her sort of expressionist pictures show exactly what we wanted to tell about that psychological game we tend to play with ourselves, and even more: BNC's current frustration is that we are separated by distance, which affects our emotional and creative support towards each other.”

The official music video directed by Bianka Vago will be released on or around the official release date of the single. Satisfaction will be released November 28th on both Basic Unit Productions and Negative Gain Productions. It will be available as a Digital Download only.

Arrow Video is thrilled to announce the UK Blu-ray and DVD release of Mario Bava’s The Girl Who Knew Too Much, complete with a stunning new restoration, the new disc arrives in the UK on 17th November. This new deluxe release will include both The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Bava’s original version and Evil Eye, the re-edited, re-dubbed and re-titled US version.

The Girl Who Knew Too Much is the latest addition to Arrow Video’s ever-growing series of Mario Bava following Black Sunday, Black Sabbath, Lisa and the Devil, Bay of Blood, Baron Blood and the recently-reconstructed Rabid Dogs.

Arrow Video have worked from the original pre-print film elements to present The Girl Who Knew Too Much in a brand-new digitally remastered edition. As with previous Bava titles, this set contains both versions/cuts of the film, in this case the US re-edit Evil Eye, in high definition.

Together with both versions, the disc contains a newly translated English subtitle track, alongside an audio commentary with Mario Bava biographer Tim Lucas. Also present are the featurette All About the Girl, in which filmmakers Luigi Cozzi (The Killer Must Kill Again) and Richard Stanley (Dust Devil), alongside authors Alan Jones (Profondo Argento) and Mikel Koven (La Dolce Morte) reflect on Mario Bava’s classic giallo, plus by Jones, the international and US trailers and a collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Kier-La Janisse, encased in a reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Graham Humphreys.

Synopsis

With a nod to Hitchcock and a wink in the direction of Agatha Christie, The Girl Who Knew Too Much inadvertently created a genre that would dominate Italian cinema for years to come: the giallo.

A young American secretary with a taste for lurid paperbacks witnesses a murder whilst visiting Rome – or does she? Nobody will believe her, but she appears to have stumbled upon the work of a serial killer active ten years earlier. The victims’ surnames began A, B and C… and hers begins with the letter D!

Starring the striking Letícia Román and John Saxon (Enter the Dragon, Tenebrae, A Nightmare on Elm Street), The Girl Who Knew Too Much is presented in both its original Italian version and the longer US cut, entitled Evil Eye, that was re-edited and re-scored by American International Pictures.
