OUT NOW , digital release : Radical G: "Fury" EP
Belgian's "EBM meets techno producer" Radical G in full overdrive.
Fury, taken from the forthcoming album "Mankind" is a dramatic pounding piece of Techno with no compromises, straight forward EBM sequences combined with TR808/909 beats and explosive FX.
This track is, as the title says, FURIOUS , a growling build up with a long break towards the end, a truly tremendous rush through the darker spectrum in this genre.

Female fronted Metallers, UNLEASH THE ARCHERS have signed a worldwide deal with Napalm Records. UNLEASH THE ARCHERS live shows are fast-paced and wildly entertaining; the combination of power vocals, death screams, tasty guitar licks and complex drumming provides a little something for everyone. The Canadian shooting stars plays kick ass heavy metal; with fist-pumping anthemic melodies you can’t help but sing along to! Their upcoming record is scheduled for early/mid June 2015! More News coming soon!
UNLEASH THE ARCHERS on their signing with Napalm Records:
"We are so honoured to be joining the team at Napalm! The roster is fantastic, and there are actually already some of our Canadian friends on there so we know it's a great fit. We can not wait to share our new album with the world, and we have the utmost confidence in Napalm to help us do that!"
After years of focussing on other projects, Oswald Henke celebrated the 25 years of existance of Goethes Erben in 2014 with 2 exclusive shows in Leipzig.
In 2015, only 5 exclusive shows were announced, including the Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, the Amphi festival in Köln & Black Easter in Antwerp.
The rehearsals must have triggered something, & there will even follow an entire new music theater piece in october 2015. However, due to a rather large production, extended band & many dancers, that show won't go on tour & will be exclusively performed in Bayreuth (DE).
If interested in tickets, you can write an e-mail to Goethes Erben (genom-bestellung@hotmail.de), but presales are going fast, so hurry up if you want the chance to see this new piece.
The focus of the two-act piece "Menschenstille" is the struggle of a man who tries to end his life. Depression, suicide, illness and death are the central themes because both depression and death drive people to a standstill, and rob all their energy. It will be dark, lyrically and musically, an artistic approach of life and how it might end...
The stage will be created by the wood sculptor Remo Sorge and long-time collaborating graphic artist Ulrike Rank. The musical director is Tobias Schäfer and the piece is written & staged by Oswald Henke.
On the weekend of music theater in October, there is also an exhibition with the photos of photographer Evangeline Cooper and costume designer Carsta Köhler.
The performances will be filmed and there will be a double DVD of "Menschenstille". This DVD can be purchased on October 09th and 10th at the theatre, in the form of a gift certificate. The DVD itself will be send by the end of December. (it will also be available through mailorder)

Dušan Hanák's renowned film was voted by critics as the best Slovak film of all time. Inspired by the photographs of Slovak artist Martin Martinček (1913–2004), whose pictures distilled entire lifetimes into luminous, intransient images, Hanák creates his own distinctive impressions of the artist's work, crafting a polyphony of human stories.
At odds with the Communist propaganda of the time, it resulted in the film being withdrawn from release and it remained condemned and banned for many years. However, Hanák's film is not a political, polemical or even a social-realist film. It goes far deeper to more fundamental levels of human experience - its power and beauty lies in its unique portrait of a people who seem to have been forgotten by the modern world.
Released for the first time ever in the UK, the DVD is presented fom a new HD digital tansfer with restored picture and sound - plus new HD restorations of two of Dušan Hanák's acclaimed short films Mass (Omša, 1967) and Old Shatterhand Came to Us (Prišiel k nám Old Shatterhand, 1966), and a new essay by author and academic Jonathan Owen.
