Calling all fans of truly unique music... Ancient Greek folk ensemble DAEMONIA NYMPHE have announced the re-release of acclaimed album Psychostasia, to be released November 22nd.
Complete with three new bonus tracks, Psychostasia is a chance to become reacquainted with the unique duo.
The two-piece (Spyros Giasafakis and Evi Stergiou) combine with rotating musicians to create an ethereal ensemble, the first artists to compose and perform improvisations on Ancient Greek instrument recreations (lyre, kithara, etc). They've performed and toured in the USA, UK, and across Europe. They've headlined a stage at Wave Gotik Treffen 2017 ahead of Myrkur amongst others, appeared on UK national TV and written music for Gucci's Spring/Summer 2016 collection and Paris Fashion Week 2018.
Besides, the band's music is now in the collection of the British Library, and they've collaborated with Rotting Christ; on top of that Daemonia Nymphe recently performed at London's O2 Islington, performing with Peter Ulrich (Dead Can Dance/This Mortal Coil) and Dessislava Stefanova (leader of London Bulgarian Choir, singer on the film Troy amongst others).

“Snakedressed” is the fourth studio album by most active Dirk Ivens’s incarnation. It was released in 1997 by Daft Records and was made once again in collaboration with Ivan Iusco of Minus Habens Records and Nightmare Lodge fame. A well produced and arranged work with the usual noise infused, yet dance oriented tracks full of harsh bass lines overlayed with intricately woven and noisy synth patches. An album that catapulted Dive as a cult act and one of the strongest influences for a lot of artists.

For the first time available on double vinyl record with all original tracks plus some extras from 1996 including songs from the split EP's with Kirlian Camera and Controlled Bleeding and a couple of tracks from the compilation "2/3” (Hands Productions).

Belgian post-punk outfit Whispering Sons has announced their long-awaited debut album 'Image'. Comprised of ten tracks, it will be available on CD and digitally via PIAS/ Cleopatra Records.

This is the first major release for this Brussels-based outfit since their 'Endless Party' EP in 2015. This new release represents what the band describes as a "giant leap forward". Together with producer Micha Volders and engineer/co-producer Bert Vliegen, the band used their time in the studio as a means to broaden their sound, enriching it with acoustic drums and a whole range of synthesizers.

This album, recorded over a period of ten days at GAM Studios in Belgium, evokes an atmosphere that is ominous and urging, while capturing the band's live intensity. Mixed by Bert Libeert (Goose, B, Raving George - Charlotte de Witte) at Jetson Studio and mastered by Frederik Dejongh (Hooverphonic) at Jerboa Mastering, this work is tinged with angst and isolation. Lyrically these songs stem from alienation, distance and inertia.

The songs on 'Image' were written after the band collectively moved to Brussels in 2016. Between intense touring, they channeled their new ideas into the music found on this album. Feeding on the dynamics of the city, the tracks unveil feelings of alienation and distance. 'Image' is a motionless state, in which observations overshadow actions. It reflects the artificiality of things, yet still desperately clings on to ideals and obsessions, something which is also strengthened by the cover artwork, created of Flor Maesen.

Whispering Sons won Belgium's prestigious Rock Rally in 2016, the same national contest that launched the career of dEUS. Since then they released several 7 inches - 'Performance/Strange Identities' (2016) and 'White Noise' (2017), and the 'Endless Party' EP. Touring extensively in Europe, they've developed a reputation for their animated performances.

As of 19th October, the 'Image' LP will be available everywhere.

In October, Whispering Sons will open for The Soft Moon during a series of dates in Spain and Portugal, before playing several shows with Gang of Four and headlining a series of European live dates in November in support of this album.
