Busy times for Daft Records, especially for its sub label Minimal Maximal.
At the moment you can find the vinyl version of Absolute Body Control’s “Mindless Intrusion” in the shops, but on 1st September, the label will release a compilation “Close Circuit Connection” featuring the best of Belgian coldwave, minimal wave, EBM etc.
You’ll find tracks (some unreleased) from the likes of Luc Van Acker, The Neon Judgement, à;Grumh…, The Klinik, Parade Ground , The Arch, Vita Noctis, Liquid G, A Split Second and Suicide Commando.
Described as maybe the most awaited (instrumental) metal record of the year.
Founded in 2006, OMEGA MASSIF quickly seized the attention and interest of listeners from several genres (metal to doom to sludge to instrumental postrock) through the years – and that’s a result of just 2 records in 5 years: their demo KALT and the first full length GEISTERSTADT.
OMEGA MASSIF are a convincing studio and live band. These aspects and the fact that they have a keen sense of sophisticated song structures are maybe the main reasons why OMEGA MASSIF filled bigger venues step by step – while having started with local squat, they have by now played festivals like ROADBURN, HELLFEST, SWINGFEST etc.!
Their new and 2nd album KARPATIA, a result of two years songwriting, again unites the well known calm melodic components with an immense dynamic and dark feeling in the monolithic heavy parts.
OMEGA MASSIF invent their own sound and are able to maintain the tension throughout the whole record without the usage of cheap climax ideas. We could continue to tell you how apocalyptic and intense this record is – but it’s maybe better to push the start button and to judge by your own if OMEGA MASSIF created another masterpiece after GEISTERSTADT.
The new album will be available on CD, vinyl and digitally.
Release date is September 16th and preorder starts mid august. The track list looks as follows:
01. aura
02. wölfe
03. urus arctos
04. im karst
05. karpatia
06. steinernes meer

Mannequin and Desire Records are announcing the release of the new effort by The Present Moment, entitled Loyal To A Fault.
This new record is a collaborative effort between Scott Milton and Philipp Munch of The Rorschach Garden.
Based in Los Angeles, The Present oment explores a relatively dynamic pop territory, still opened to new musical tendencies and new sonorities without loosing cohesion.
Scott Milton's rich sense of composition gives to the arrangements a radical and unique feel, somewhere between the narcoleptic twist of The Sisters of Mercy, the regular addictive density of Front 242 and the touching goth- dramatic sense of Colin Newman or Asylum Party.
A pretty personal matured sound signature which will certainly provoke visceral, exceptional effects on the revival of the electro-cold wave pop movement.
This year, Scott Milton's live band played with a handful of notorious figures of the synth- minimal cold wave circle such as Light Asylum, Salem, Gatekeeper, Iron Curtain, Legendary Pink Dots, Soft Metals just to name a few…
LP Edition limited to 300 copies
It will be in collaboration with Desire Records (France)
