PHANTASMA, the new Symphonic Rock musical of Charlotte Wessels (DELAIN), Georg Neuhauser (SERENITY) and Oliver Philipps (EVERON) has just premiered the first music video of their upcoming debut The Deviant Hearts.
Two years following the release of their critically-acclaimed debut album “Unrevealed Secrets Of Ruin”, Dutch sludge/post-metal quintet The Fifth Alliance now return with their second album “Death Poems”, which is set for release on CD on October 31st through Consouling Sounds.
Following the much-deserved praise that The Fifth Alliance received for their 2013 debut album “Unrevealed Secrets Of Ruin”, the Dutch five-piece now return with their second album titled “Death Poems”.
Powerful and dark, “Death Poems” consists of four new tracks that masterfully blend gritty and harsh sludge with emotive, gloomy post-metal moments. With this record, The Fifth Alliance have taken a significant step forward and developed a more powerful and emotionally intense sound, especially in the vocal delivery of Silvia Berger. There is something deeply disturbing and touching about the singer’s performance as if she is lamenting the loss of a loved one. If you are a fan of doomy, harsh and emotive post-metal, then “Death Poems” is going to be one of your favourite releases of 2015.

Polish Night Music is a collaborative work by David Lynch & Marek Zebrowski, originally released as a limited edition CD by The David Lynch Music Company. On November 13th it will be re-issued on a deluxe 2xLP by Sacred Bones Records.
Barren train stations, Polish factories at night, and silent hotels where lonely travelers meet. These are the images and suggested narratives that pervade the spirit of Polish Night Music, the musical collaboration between American filmmaker David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Eraserhead) and Polish concert pianist and composer Marek Zebrowski.
Zebrowski and Lynch first met during the Camerimage Film Festival in Lodz, Poland, and started to work together during the organic evolution of Lynch’s Inland Empire. Originally, Zebrowski served as a translator for the shooting of several Lodz-based Polish scenes in Empire, but upon discovering their shared interest in musical experimentation and improvisation, Lynch invited Zebrowski to his Los Angeles studio to participate in a series of musical experiments. From these initial collaborations, inspired by their unique and distinct connections to Poland, emerged a tangible mood and distinctly modern texture that became Polish Night Music.
“(Poland) is a landscape that continues to remain at once familiar and completely alien to me,” Zebrowski explains. “Every time I am there, I am surprised by some- thing, and I think for David, Poland certainly represents the process of discovery.”
“We don’t know what will happen,” says Lynch, simply. Somewhere in this not-knowing exists the experience of a Polish night, and this album is its soundtrack.
“Normally when people refer to a void, it's a big, dark, scary, thing – the dark, malicious, Nietzschean void, where if you stare too long into the it, it stares back into you. But we like the paradox of a pacific, peaceful void – a benign emptiness.” Moby & The Void Pacific Choir
With the upcoming SIMI NAH - BE MY GUEST live show this Friday and a new release, more than a year since the last release of the album “Be my Guest”, Simi Nah is back!
This is what Simi Nah has to say about 'BOOTLEG':
"After the great response, reviews and comments, Simi Nah is now ready to turn the page.
But before doing this, a strong desire to re-release some tracks of the first album kept on growing...
So “BOOTLEG” was born!
Why old songs ?
During the last year, Simi Nah gained attention from media and people all over the globe, many asking for the first album “Cherchez la Femme”. Unfortunately, this album is no longer available on the market. Released at the wrong time, at the wrong place, in the wrong scene, it didn't get the attention it deserved. The return of the 80's was not in vogue yet !
Now, 11 years later, Simi Nah brings some of those songs back to life, as unreleased and reworked versions.
Why “Bootleg” ?
Nostlagia is in the spotlight with this release, bringing back sweet memories, going to the flee market “puces de Clignancourt” in Paris where you could find all kind of bootleg cassettes and vinyl's. So this reproduction is very kitsch, on CDR “look vinyl”, hand numbered and signed, black & white."

01 Cherchez la Femme (original 2004, reworked 2015)
