Prophecy Productions are very happy to welcome Germ from Australia to its artist roster! Germ mastermind Tim Yatras (ex-Woods of Desolation, Austere and Grey Waters among others) signed a long-term contract with Prophecy, also encompassing re-issues of the entire Germ back catalogue.
While the idea for Germ was created over ten years ago, it wasn't until 2012 that the first releases surfaced, in the form of debut full length album "Wish", and follow up EP "Loss". After considerable praise for the combination of Depressive Black Metal and Electronic elements which spreads a unique 1980s pop and stadium rock vibe, Germ returned in 2013 with a new full length album, "Grief". Featuring Audrey Sylvain from Amesoeurs on guest vocals, this album fused the Germ sound as heard on the first two releases with Tim's more traditional Black Metal past. Tim plans to spend 2014 composing and recording material for what will become the third full length Germ album, and the first album to surface from the partnership with Prophecy Productions.
Tim Yatras: "I'm extremely excited about the new partnership between Germ and Prophecy Productions. I grew up listening to many of Prophecy's releases, from the 1990's all the way up to the present day, and to now be working with a label whose artists have been a huge part of shaping who I am as a musician today is an honor I can't even begin to describe!"

The Italian power-trio Zero-eq entering triumphantly into the alternative scene with its irresistible combination of synthpop, electropop and electrowave. Phenix, IO and Thyler know perfectly the best strategies to interact with the listeners proposing them a lot of efficient technological formulations: after the unreleased EP "Greatest Hits 2003/2004", after the success received overseas in 2012 with their second EP "Bugged Karma" and after numerous international appreciations, the project returns with the nine tracks on "Fall", the new amazing EP that intended to do crazy all the devotees around the high-tech music.
The drum-programming runs on variable downtempo, midtempo, uptempo speed, supporting emissions of synths, guitars and very melodic vocals, a set of sonorities exclusively designed for the maximum danceability imprinting them into our minds.
The emerging project Zero-eq is considerable as one of the most valuable revelations in this first half of 2014, thanks to the its ability to transform sounds into pure entertainment: the new release also includes precious remixed versions by Retrogramme, Public Domain Resource, Lost Reality and Klonavenus. Shout it loud and clear: the electro made in Italy strikes again and again!
