30.01. Scarlet Soho (Live, UK) + Depeche Mode Party @ Kavka
BodyBeats productions proudly presents::
DEPECHE MODE PARTY
with special guests
SCARLET SOHO (UK)
After the succesfull Depeche Mode (aftershow) party (almost exaclty one year ago on this date) many of you who attended asked us for a sequel. Well... This is it! On Saturday Januari 31st we invite all Depeche Mote Devotees, Synth-Pop & Wave lovers and EBM heads to come and dance at the cosey venue Kavka. Kavka is located in the city center of Antwerp and has a convenient and afordable parking lot just across the venue. To spice up the party we will have invited SCARLET SOHO to play live at this night. SCARLET SOHO is a UK synthpop band often referred to as 'The Depeche Mode of this decade'. So put on you dancing shoes and come enjoy everything but the silence!
This is what some of our collegues had to say about Scarlet Soho:
"The Killers are the new Duran Duran and Scarlet Soho are the new Depeche Mode!" (Vive Le Rock)
"Scarlet Soho could soon be sparking off a whole horde of copy cats, so rememberwho was doing this first!" (The Mag)
"The twisted alter-ego of Duran Duran, the modern day equivalent of Depeche Mode (but better) and the band Mansun wish they could have been" (Southscene)
After genre-defining releases in the 90's and 80's the band, which the media tried to categorize as Electro, EBM, Industrial, Crossover and even Metal, DIE KRUPPS returns with brand new material. DIE KRUPPS have opened the gates once again to their factory, after some years of running tests and high maintenance. The machinery has been oiled and greased – first works have already been delivered to an expectant fan base: Both 'Risikofaktor' and 'Industrie-Maedchen' reached the pole position in the German Alternative Chart, where they stayed for several weeks. Now it's back to top form, with the first new prototype leaving the assembly line: THE MACHINISTS OF JOY.
Transformation is the key to the psyche.
It unlocks the hidden domains inside us and finds the paths to inner wisdom. ’Metamorphyses’ is a journey into the deep inner self; a drama of the sublime and trancendental transformation of the psyche through a katabasis ritual presented in six transitional stages slowly moving towards completion.
’Metamorphyses’ is the key to the psyche.
Hypnotic, introspective and yet more difficult.
Being the seventh fullenght album from raison d’être, ’Metamorphyses’ is in many aspects different from previous works by Peter Andersson.
The organic flow and the use of drones has been extended, creating a varied output of both calm/meditative and harsh/intense sound structures.
The transformation in sound is also present in the perceived emotions.
Demanding, tempting and deceptive are only a few elements that characterize the ordeal the listener has to withstand.
The expanded double CD edition of 'Metamorphyses' contains the original album remastered according to the K-14 leevel standard.
Additonally, two previosuly unreleased early sketches from the 'Metamorphyses' session has been added to the first disc.
The second disc contains a selection of previously unreleased live recordings from performances made between 2006-2008 in Sofia, Gent, Salzburg, Alkmaar and Budapest.
Comes in a 6-panel digipak with original art by Kati Astraeir.
The second album from Awen, five years in the making, stands as a sonic dedication to the ties that bind this world to the spectral.
The album is rooted in the concept of the Grim Grey King, which forms a binding tie throughout with interpretations and translations of the opening poem featured in Swedish, German and Italian - cropping up like standing stones along the path of the listener's progress.
The 'King' of the album's namesake encompasses not only the sinister martial aspects of Woden, Gwyn ap Nudd and the endless Wild Hunt, but also the notion of a more abstract and cold custodian of the souls of melancholy lovers lost, their desperate palliations sought through suicide.
From dense percussion evocative of megalithic rites to the Arcadian chords of acoustic strings, the whole is tethered throughout by the howling tension of hungry ghosts and conducted by the commanding voice of Erin Powell.
'Grim King Of The Ghosts' is a synthesis of the ancient and the contemporary, with the heartfelt acoustic cover of "Seeker" by Fire + Ice and modern interpretations of traditional songs from the British Isles such as "Grim King Of The Ghosts", "Cradle Spell", and "Sons Of Exiles" shifting like glimpses through a stygian mist into the tonal terrors of "Grym Grå Kung", "Bitter Augur" and "Il Re Grigio Cupo".
This world and That, Then and Now, are One.
Featuring guests b9 InVid (Et Nihil / Luftwaffe), Gaya Donadio (ANTIchildLEAGUE / Six Comm), and Freya Aswynn (by virtue of a recorded personal rune reading for Erin Powell).
