Eden Synthetic Corps were formed in 2005. Their early songs started getting rave reviews all over the internet and they signed a record deal with Dark Dimensions / Scanner just a couple of months after their formation.
Their debut album Matte (released in 2006) was enthusiastically received all over the Alternative community and the word was all over that there was a finally an Electro-Industrial band from Portugal worth listening. ESC always tried their best to sound unique among hundreds of clones and they achieved a new level of identity when they released Enhancer.
Enhancer is a concept album that tells the story of a serial killer on a women killing spree. The artwork was widely considered as one of the best among all the bands in the same musical universe and the album followed the path of Matte by getting great reviews from the press and great feedback from listeners. Along with Enhancer came ESC's first international shows and another presence in the DAC (Deutsche Alternative Charts) top ten albums.
Their third album, featuring yet another concept, portrayed as comics, on the artwork of a luxurious digipack packaging. "Eight Thousand Square Feet" brought us one of ESC's most intense album to date, featuring guests such as Carsten Jacek from [:SITD:] and Jan L. from X-Fusion. This ESC album stayed on the DAC charts for eight consecutive weeks. They played lots of shows after the release of this album, including countries like Russia, Ukraine and even the prestigious Wave Gotik Treffen in Germany.
2013 brought us us ESC's fourth offering named Breathing Salt, with lots of new refreshing elements to the songs that glued the avid electro-industrial music listener to his speakers from the first to the last song. Once again, this album was featured in the DAC (Deutsche Alternative Charts) top ten albums.
Continuously shaping their sound, ESC's fifth album will be released soon, featuring yet again lots of new elements like a broader range of vocals, joining trademark ESC beats with innovative melodies.
Darker than ever and this time focused mainly on old civilizations, mythology and nomadic people, the new album, titled "Sandwalkers", is a breath of fresh air in the Electro-Industrial Scene.

Drie jaar na hun laatste studioalbum A Gentlemen’s Agreement is Dez Mona klaar voor een nieuw muzikaal hoofdstuk. Gregory Frateur en Nicolas Rombouts keren voor de plaat ORIGIN terug naar de kern van hun muzikale bestaan. Daarbij vormen stem en contrabas de basis van de songs. De verdere uitwerking gebeurde met accordeon wiz Roel Van Camp (DAAU), drummer Steven Cassiers (Dans Dans), multi-instrumentalist Tijs Delbeke (Sir Yes Sir) en gitarist Sjoerd Bruil (Black Cassette). Jo Francken nam de productie in handen.
Eerste single was 'Does it make you, Happy?' en het album ORIGIN is uit sinds eind augustus en kreeg niets dan lovende recensies. Volgens De Morgen (4/5) is de plaat zowel vormelijk als inhoudelijk de beste die ze ooit gemaakt hebben.
Tijdens de zomer draaide Dez Mona warm op een aantal festivals, waaronder een geslaagde passage op Pukkelpop. In oktober zijn ze dan helemaal opgewarmd voor het echte werk in Vooruit!
Support is Sherman, een duo uit Gent/Kortrijk.
"A mysterious extraterrestrial radio signal from outer space was picked up as it occurred for the first time. The signal, or radio “burst”, was discovered on May 15, 2033, though it’s being reported only now by the SETI Foundation. The burst was identified within 10 seconds of its occurrence and the signal is defined by its continuous repetition. The cause and origin of these mysterious signals remains unknown, but it seems to be clear that something will contact us from billions of light years away."
Here it is then, part two of the interstellar opus about a post-apocalyptic scenario beyond the power of our imagination. Imbued with a powerful sound, “Trans Neptunian Objects” picks up where “End Of All Existence” left off at the moment of the apocalypse’s irruption: The Jovian Moon IO. T.N.O. reveals unto us why the E.D.E.N. mission was discharged there and how it got there, the significance of the Einstein-Rosen Bridge and also which part a pre-human device buried deep in the desert sand has got to play in all of this.
"2034: The Year We Make Contact. A strange device has been discovered from deep beneath the surface of our planet. Its origins: unknown. Its age: older than life, and its purpose: to change mankind."
With their soundtrack and in their unique inconceivable way, the two architects of sound Artaud Seth and Ashley Dayour manage to unreel an imaginary movie in the listener’s mind. This film does not require a movie theatre. It requires your intellect. NEAR EARTH ORBIT delivers a complex blockbuster masterpiece with a perfect mixture of post-apocalypse, paranoia and fiction. 2034, Cult!
Mind is the only constant of all existence!

After a long time of silence - the storm returns!
At the 25th anniversary of the Still Patient? the band returns to the studio and back on stage!
After five CDs and numerous live performances on stage, in concert and at festivals the band Still Patient? belonged to one of the influential Bands of Gothic Rock in Germany. The band decided to stop working together in 1999. But in 2012 they decided to reunite with some former and some new band members - the story continues.
Strong, temporary, atmospheric!
Still Patient? is reinventing itself without forgetting the past. The mix of traditional Gothic Rock combined with electronic elements and dark melodies has been transferred to today and seems fresh and stronger than ever before. This is visible in the new recordings of some of the old songs as well as in the newer material.
Mother Moon is the 19th Album released by Inkubus Sukkubus, The band formed in 1989 and have been recording and performing live continuously for the last 26 years.
Recently performing at the Amphi Festival in Germany and Castle Fest in Poland, as well as in Scandinavia and several dates in the UK, they show no signs of slowing down and their latest release “Mother Moon“, is testament to this. The Album differs slightly from previous releases in that, although it contains the usual electric Rock tracks, such as the title track, Mother Moon, it is predominantly an acoustic album, and also features for the first time in Inkubus Sukkubus history, the “finger picking” nylon string technique.
Lyrically the album is once more an odyssey into the Pagan world and human nature with all its darkness and all of its light, from the joyous “Mother Moon” which is a celebration of the feminine divine within nature, to “No End to War” which concedes that conflict is a universal and eternal element to the human experience. Inkubus Sukkubus once more deliver, the bitter and also the sweet.
