On August 31st, 2013, Aesthetic Perfection’s Daniel Graves did something never imagined possible: He played an entirely acoustic concert as Aesthetic Perfection. Pulling it off took a year of planning, months of preparation and weeks of rehearsal.
Even then, nothing was perfect. How could it be? No computers, no backing tracks, nothing but what each musician brought with them to the stage. For this special live show, Aesthetic Perfection’s music was presented by a band comprised of Daniel Graves on vocals, Lauren Krothe on piano and backing vocals, Marquis Howell III on upright bass, Tim Van Horn on drums, and Tim Skold on acoustic guitar. Recorded at Complex in Glendale California, a venue renowned for its incredible sound system and intimate concert experience. Graves said of the experience “I was more musically vulnerable than I had ever been before. The whole experience taught me that it’s ok to be vulnerable, it’s ok to be flawed, it’s ok to make mistakes, it’s ok to relinquish control and put your trust in others. Though much of this has been part of the Aesthetic Perfection “philosophy” since Day 1, putting that into practice is easier said than done.
As a self confessed control freak, it pushed me to the brink of madness. Now that all is said and done, I’m not stressed anymore. I’m just proud of what my friends and I accomplished, and I’m grateful to them for their hard work and creativity that made my vision come to life. I’m grateful to the fans who came and showed their support for an utterly absurd idea: An acoustic “industrial” show. And now, I’m excited that I can share this little piece of Aesthetic Perfection history with those who were unable to be there or wish to see it again. Who knows? Maybe we’ll do this again sometime.“
When a family move to a remote estate on the Yorkshire moors, demonic forces are unleashed in Nick Willing’s spellbinding ghost story The Haunting of Radcliffe House which makes its DVD bow on 11 May 2015 thanks to Image Entertainment.
Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense) and Matthew Modine (The Dark Knight Rises) star as husband and wife Meg and Alec who move to the darkly beautiful but desolate Radcliffe House with their two children. A mosaic on the floor hints at the terrible murder by Radcliffe of his wife Isabella – the result of a demonic black magic ritual that led to his suicide... or did it?
Ghostly creatures haunt this house, teasing, taunting and invading those who linger within and something is driving Alec, maniacally, to recreate the presence of Isabella in the body of his wife.
The ritual is about to be enacted once more, the past bloodily thrust into the present. Will anyone survive The Haunting of Radcliffe House?
Azar Swan's debut album to be released on vinyl via Toronto's Artoffact Records
New York electronic duo Azar Swan announces that their debut album Dance Before the War will be released on vinyl via Toronto-based Artoffact Records in March.
Originally released as the first official offering from the Handmade Birds digital store, the album's title track appeared exclusively via Pitchfork where it was praised as "prime industrial pop," and Noisey debuted the full album stream. Dance Before the War received additional accolades from such publications as Under the Radar and Nylon. With a limited vinyl pressing, featuring gorgeous artwork and design by Shaun Durkan of the band Weekend, Artoffact Records now brings this acclaimed album out of the digital realm and into the physical world for the first time.
Azar Swan has played live with Prurient, Xeno & Oaklander, Cut Hands, Bestial Mouths, and King Dude, all in the USA, and they made their European debut last year with a small but extremely well-received tour of Germany including a memorable direct support slot with The Soft Moon in Leipzig.
Zohra Atash is an occasional contributor to Talkhouse Music and Slutist. Joshua Strawn also plays in the Profound Lore experimental metal band Vaura. The duo released their sophomore album in December on Dee Dee Penny's (Dum Dum Girls) and Brandon Welchez's (Crocodiles) record label Zoo Music (home also to such acts as Dirty Beaches).
The band will be touring in support of both records, as well as the upcoming Vatican Shadow/Cut Hands remix 12" Azar Swan Variations, this summer.
The Dance Before The War vinyl will be released on standard black, as well as a collector's frosted clear edition, with a special process bronze:6/0 cover effect.

ABOUT AZAR SWAN
Formerly the core members of orchestral goth project Religious To Damn, Zohra Atash and Joshua Strawn turn their once instrumental ensemble into a sprawling electro-encased duo whose narrative is framed by noise and driven by drum machine. Industrial Pop: Two parts hard percussion and shimmering ambience, and one part majestic yet pointed vocals. The shift was sparked by a two-fold realization from Atash and Strawn who were looking to consolidate the writing process by eliminating the unnecessary weight that comes with coordinating multiple musicians, combined with a mutual revived interest in electronic music and hip-hop beats.
OSTROGOTH is proud to present their first ever official video, for the song 'CLOUDS' taken from the new album 'LAST TRIBE STANDING'.
