After their critically well-received Spring release Model Generation, which was put out by Slovenian-based independent label KAPA Records, the band played most of the biggest European music festivals (Liverpool Sound City, Inmusic, Exit itd.), but it was Slovenian's MENT Ljubljana where they made their big break.
They caught the eye of the legendary musician and journalist John Robb, who did the first big interview with Nirvana in 1989 and forged the phrase »britpop«. Robb named Ludovik Material as his new favourite band. »They sound quite fantastic and their youthful take on the post punk interzone is one of the best I’ve heard for years,« he wrote in Louder Than War. And now, John Robb digitally released Ludoviks's single on Louder Than War's label.
Lacrimosa exists 25 years and releases a new album in November called 'Unterwelt'. On 27th February 2016 they play in Roeselare to present their new CD.
Everybody to Roeselare!
Lacrimosa bestaat 25 jaar en brengt eind november een nieuw album uit: 'Unterwelt'. In februari 2016 komen ze naar het West Vlaamse Roeselare om daar hun nieuwe Cd voor te stellen!
Allen daarheen zou ik zeggen
After some personel changes (Mike instead of singer Maaike) and a long search for a second guitar player the metal/prog/symfo band "Immanent Distance" finally found a second guitar player in the person of Kaatje Desmet. So they have now again a full line-up to tour after finishing their second full album ( a follow up from the first album: "Diary of a Murderer part 1) later this year.
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.
