”MASCHINENFEST TRACKS 1999 – 2014” is a lavish retrospective, based on the astonishing fact that WINTERKÄLTE performed at the MASCHINENFEST for the 10th time in 2014. This limited to 500 copies hand numbered edition collects all contributions to the legendary Maschinenfest com- pilation CDs in remastered sound quality, cut over two 12” records and thus maintaining the tradition of making available all Winterkälte tracks on vinyl.

According to the concept this is not a “Best Of”, but a collection of concisely physical tracks with the club firmly in focus. Eight studio tracks, five of which have never been available in this or any other version on a Winterkälte release, enframed by two live cuts, the total ten tracks covering no less than 15 years of Winterkälte’s trademark, genre-defining drum’n’noise sound. The two heavy-weight LPs come in a special high quality foldout cover including the CD version of the album (HANDS D200) as well as 4 art prints and a sticker. Founded in 1991, their highly dynamic live shows with electronics by Udo Wiessmann and electronic drumming by Eric de Vries have become the other cornerstone, next to the studio work. The fasci- nation of Winterkälte live performances has proven during many shows in Europe, North America and Asia. Among those, Maschinenfest shows have always been a special highlight.

This compilation reveals an astonishing continuity, from the first track “Warm up”, very early Winterkälte which was recorded live from mixing desk in 1997 on the “pre-Maschinenfest” event “Musik in Elektrisch” to the live cut “Deep Sea Defenders” from 2012, a quality microphone recor- ding complete with the sounds of the stirred crowd. The other contributions are quite manifold: Half of the tracks here can’t be found on any other release in any version. Furthermore, you will find a very early, primal version of “Greenwar Theme One”;, the alternative “Cetraro” version of “Toxic Ships” and the original rough mix of the band’s considerable dance floor hit “Ban Depleted Uranium Weapons”. Enjoy the propelling time travel through Winterkälte’s drum’n’noise from past to present!

The song is expected to feature on Manson's next studio album, which has a tentative 2015 release date. The album will be his follow up to 2012 album 'Born Villain'. Speaking earlier this year, Manson stated that the album was shaping up to be a "very cinematic" record.

Elaborating on the direction of the release, which will be the singer's tenth album and his first since 2012's 'Born Villain', Manson also said that the record "isn't about being pissed about the world". "The redneck in me comes out in my voice, and its got some old blues mixed with the very hard elements," he said. "I want to retain what I think is good about the past, what music I did and who I am. It's not about being pissed about the world – it's about realising someone has to fuck things up."

In recent month Manson has focused on TV work, guest starring in Sons Of Anrchy as a white supremacist prisoner. This follows appearances in Californication, Eastbound & Down, Wrong Cops and Once Upon A Time. 

Earlier this year Manson also contributed a new song, entitled 'Cupid Carries A Gun', to the soundtrack of drama series Salem.

Synopsis:

Three best friends and dedicated roleplayers take to the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons-like LARP. Trouble arises when a prop spellbook purchased from the internet ends up being a genuine grimoire and they unwittingly conjure up a blood-lusting succubus from hell.

From 3rd December on Warner releases the second season from Arrow on both DVD and Blu-ray.

Starling City has been torn apart by the Undertaking, so the need for the hooded vigilante--now known as The Arrow--is more urgent than ever in the explosive second season of the hit action series based on DC Comics’ Green Arrow.

After retreating to the island on which he was once stranded, Oliver Queen returns to protect his mother, sister and besieged company, but comes to realize that allies and enemies have switched sides, and the stranglehold of evil on family, friends and city is diabolically linked to his fateful shipwreck. A once-tight comrade-at-arms and a strength-enhancing, yet mind-warping serum may prove to be the mightiest adversaries The Arrow has ever encountered.

Can justice find its target in this breathlessly exciting, 23-episode Season 2? Or will all fall before the fury of Deathstroke?

Rabia Sorda are back … and the name of their new EP, which would translate into „wild beasts“ in English, is pretty much programmatic for all the infernal new songs. „Animales Salvajes“ offers up four new sonically explosive charges, as well as three club-compatible remixes.

The new Rabia-Sorda-record almost feels like an exorcism conducted through music: Hocico-shouter Erk Aicrag completely unleashes his inner animal, thus charging up his bastard lovechild of Electro, Punk and New Wave with even more aggression than ever before. One would certainly not be accusing Rabia Sorda as ever being anything akin to a tame lamb, but the four new songs certainly surpass anything they ever did before in regard to pure, unfiltered anger. Drums are pounding away with unrelenting aggression to thundering electronic basses, while searing guitar riffs are cutting through this tsunami of sound like an out-of-control buzz-saw. Erk is beserking away like he is trying to purge all of his inner demons only to replace them with even mightier ones. Be it “Die In Berlin”, “I'm Tragedy”, “We're Here To Win” or the wrathful thunderstorm “Obey Me!” - Rabia Sorda are going wild like never before, one can almost feel the onslaught Erk and his band will unleash in a live show with these songs... so join the fight, the Electro-pogo is on! As a special icing on this cake made of barbed wire, the band is adding three club-compatible remixes made by friends to the package. Call it Electroclash, Synth-Punk or Electrocore … it presses, it rages, it obliterates anything that stands in its way – and it is darn addictive! Unleash your inner beastie!
