Read Rønnenfelt's letter regarding his new album below:
"Although I have done a few things under the Marching Church moniker since 2010, the project, as in the constellation on this album, was born in November 2013 with Kristian Emdal and Anton Rothstein (Lower), Cæcilie Trier (Choir of Young Believers), Bo H. Hansen (Hand of Dust, Sexdrome) and Frederikke Hoffmeier (Puce Mary).
We had agreed to play with Pharmakon at Mayhem, our warehouse space in Copenhagen, even though I hadn’t done anything with the project for quite some time. With two months before the show, I threw together a few half-thought-out ideas and sketches, presented them to the new band, and was amazed to see how the songs took life in their hands. I had a picture in my head of me in a comfortable arm chair, adorned in a golden robe, leading a band while a girl kept pouring me champagne. "What would this picture sound like?" was the question.
For some songs I was inspired by my friend Jamie Cripps, who unfortunately is no longer with us, and his project The Pale Horse, as well as a record by David Maranha called Antarctica that I was played one night at my favourite bar, The Nightingale in Tokyo. Those records made me want to create something that sounded half asleep and like it was being dragged across the ground, or smoldering in a bonfire, in order to keep on playing. At least that was the initial inspiration, in time it got a bit overtaken with an idea of being the leader of a soul group—people like James Brown, Young Americans-era David Bowie, and Sam Cooke were inspirations in this aspect.
Improvisation, something I have never done before, was crucial in the making of this album. The album works because of the band’s incredible ability of breathing life into these loosely written and at times very simple ideas and experiments. Though Marching Church might be a dictatorship, This World is Not Enough was very much a collaborative effort. Everyone involved does other projects as well, but I wouldn’t want to see it as a "side project". That term seems degrading.
In conclusion, half-disgusted with talking about myself, I’m going to leave you with This World Is Not Enough—eight songs of nocturnal longing, preposterous self-obsession and cockeyed etiquette.
Love,
Elias B. Rønnenfelt"
For its third edition, the dark gathering offers an enticing selection of concerts, djs, performers, stands and expositions, wherein film/video integration with burlesque and fetish elements lies at the base of a well-rounded program carrying the banner "Industrial Decadence".
Coalescaremonium: meaning ‘Coalescent Ceremony’, is a grandioso gothic happening that combines unseen international acts with local talent from the various sub-genres of Gothic nightlife into one grand day of celebration; with high focus on music, art, dance and fashion.
Situated in the heart of Brussels’ European contours, we find “Le Bouche à Oreille”, a unique concert venue that is constructed inside the premise of a fabulously restored monastery with many rooms for them to use.
With their intense compositionss, Herrschaft & Schwarsblut will grace this marvelous evening. And the burlesque show of Candy Coated Circus will add some more eye candy to this nice event.
Take a look at the aftermovie of last years edition !
Following Monday's news that Fox are keen to re-open The X-Files, David Duchovny has made it known that he's happy to slip back into Fox Mulder's suit. "I'm assuming that it will happen sooner rather than later," he told USA Today.
But he also bluntly answered some of the immediate questions about what sort of show a new X-Files might be. Given Duchovny's apparent attitude towards the series in the last couple of years of its original run, there are, as you might expect, caveats.
"We'll see what form [it takes] and how many episodes," he teased. "Certainly I can't, nor would I be interested in doing a full season. It will be in some kind of limited form. We're all old, we don't have the energy for a full season."
After seven years of paranormal investigations, Mulder took a back seat in The X-Files' eighth and ninth years, with new agents Doggett and Reyes (Robert Patrick and Annabeth Gish) stepping in to join Gillian Anderson's Scully and Mitch Pileggi's Skinner. Duchovny's words either suggest a short season or a continuation of that latterday set-up, in which Mulder and Scully serve in some sort of supervisory capacity to some new agents. Or hey, maybe we'll see Doggett and Reyes again.
Duchovny and Anderson are, to be fair, both currently busy with their separate small screen careers: Anderson has a recurring role on Hannibal and may make more series of The Fall, while Duchovny has a new show called Aquarius set to launch this year. X-creator/show-runner Chris Carter, however, suddenly has time on his hands following Amazon's decision not to proceed with his supernatural show The After.

The Video for No History was made by the artist Vuk Jevremović, a big fan of Laibach. Vuk Jevremovic was born 1959 in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), but he spent his childhood in ex Jugoslavia. Following the family tradition, he studied Architecture at The Technical University Belgrade and graduated in 1984. After spending some time in the navy as a diver, he decided to dedicate his life to art: painting and drawing. He started exhibiting in 1986 and during the following years he was considered as a promising young artist in former Yugoslavia. He decided to move to Munich in 1991 where he studied at the academy of Fine Arts with professor Gerhard Berger. Later, he graduated as master student with professor Joseph Kosuth, 2002.
His inclusion into the animation world was due to a casual encounter with one renowned animator, Nedeljko Dragic, from Zagreb. He joined the animation course Dragic was giving and felt in love forever with the moving images. His first animation was based on a cheetah in motion, The Wind Subsides. That first film was shown all over the world, and it won 2 Grand Prix and 17 Awards. The next film, inspired by a R.M.Rilke's poem, Panther, was also successful. It won 15 international awards and came into final balloting for the Oscar award (1998) as best animation short.
Since then, his life has been linked to animation and he has continued to create short films: Diary (2000)Oscar qualified, Faces (2002), Quercus, (2003), The Wheel Turns (2005) , Close Your Eyes and Do Not Breathe (2006) ,Lux (2007) and Patience of the Memory (2009) Oscar qualified.
LYRICS
No history
No repent
No surrender
No descent
No commandments on the wall
No god, no rules to scare you all
I’m here to take you forwards
You gotta kill your stupid fears
You got your whole life
You’ll need a sharp knife
Don’t wait
Cut through the system’s rules
Less is more for the fucking fools
If you wanna take the prize
You got a world to fight
Go on
Some rhythms must remain
Unbroken riots in reverse
You take the front line
I’ll find a good rhyme
Get to it
Don’t cycling to faking scores
The base is solid and in place
Just take the first cut
We’ll get the time right
Don’t wait
Use the wisdom of ancient sages
Call out for heroes
Who will be the creed
Of a new political faith
Use the language of misunderstanding
Disguise it
Occupy Wall Street
And judge the intentions of those we don’t trust
