Emotional, fierce, intensive: eighth album by German Electro-Dark-Wave-Band. After the huge success of “Cubed” in 2010 (#1 of German Alternative Charts for 8 weeks) the band comes back with a follow up in 2013. The new album again shows that the band of mastermind Torben Wendt holds the creative pole position amongst German Electro-Dark-Wave-bands.
Formed in Reutlingen in 1996 Diorama are deeply melancholic without using too many stereotypes. The 12 new tracks combine impellent and spheric electro elements with influences from prog- and alternative rock. Great !
Filmfreaks releases in the Benelux the controversial Norwegian horrorclassic The Thrill Of A Kill.
The movie was made for a sleazy 5000 Euro and the trailer got banned in Norway. But as we like it always a bit darker at Peek A Boo, we present you this teaser. Watch at own risk.
The dvd is now available in the Benelux
The heat is definitely on as next week Bimfest will take place.
Last year Front 242 were our headliners but this year they come seperated in the form of Nothing But Noise and Underviewer.
Nothing But Noise are noisy stuff by no-one less then tweaking Front 242 mastermind Daniel B., Dirk Bergen (former Front 242) and Erwin Jadot.
Buy your tickets before it's too late and hey...you save a bit of money.
METROLAND launch video for London underground tube mapping engineer 'Harry Beck'
Out now is a brand new video from the Kraftwerkian Belgian electronica duo Metroland. The video "Harry Beck" (in a remix by Növö) is dedicated to Harry Beck, an English engineering draftsman best known for creating the present London Underground Tube map in 1931. The remixed version is taken from the Metroland CD-only release "Mixing The Gap"
The video itself includes the first drafts Beck drew up of the diagram in his spare time while working as an engineering draftsman at the London Underground Signals Office. The London Underground was initially very sceptical of Beck's radical proposal, but it was tentatively introduced to the public in a small pamphlet in 1933. It immediately became popular, and the Underground (in the Uk and abroad) has used topological maps to illustrate the network ever since.
Metroland was started as a musical concept around the whole metro system. Less known is that the band recorded a soundtrack for some of the biggest metro stations worldwide, including London, Moscow and New York. Each unique track was handed over to the marketing department of said stations to use it. So if you hear Metroland through the boxes in New York, Moswcow, London, etc. You now know why.
Metroland will be playing on this year's BIMFEST
On their new single, charts-approved Berlin-based Dark-Pop-pioneers embark on a monumental journey back to their roots. Gothic, Electro and Pop are combined to a tune that is as dark as it is club-compatible. The strictly limited CD singe contains the title track in three version plus an exclusive B-side. Save our souls!
On Blutengel's new single, the well-known distress call can be taken quite literally, as the title song is an outcry of despair, wrapped in a sonic experience like only the Berlin-based band can provide. Old fans will be in for quite a treat, as the Dark Pop pioneers have not been sounding as sinister, raw and stirring since their early days.
Club beats and sombre, slightly distorted vocals are fused to one of the most intense dark electronic disco-trips of the last years, with both main pillars of the Blutengel-universe, Goth and Electro, forming a rock solid, gloomy and catchy unity.
Tracks: 1. Save Our Souls (Single Edit) 2. What You Get 3. Save Our Souls (Fear In Motion Remix) 4. Save Our Souls (Remix by Trensity)
