JUG008 : Ira-K Organisation - Parasite "Delete your mind, Delete your existence. We do NOT promote Racism, Fascism, or any kind of hatred or intolerance. We exist to make you think about our history - to prevent the past from repeating itself." Already set to give fellow Italian noise-mongers Alien Vampires and WormZ a run for their money, Ira-K Organisation is Ira - a native of Catania. Perhaps one of the closest "Industrial" bands under our banner, this solo project is a fusion of Hard Industrial, Rhythmic Noise, and Techno. C-Lekktor, Hypnoskull, Alien Vampires, Phosgore. Blend the four names into an elixir; remove the cap, and inhale deeply. The result will be an overwhelming sensation - the philosophy of Ira-K Organisation. Coming directly from the 2009 demo "The End Of..." and 2012's "Nicht Zu Vergessen", "Parasite" is Ira-K Organisation's first official release. Consisting of hard instrumentals reminiscent of the early age of :wumpscut:, this release effortlessly switches between the above, and some harsher numbers with coherent but vitriolic vocals. We wanted to accent the sound of "Parasite" in the most diverse manner possible, so bought in the remixing talents of household names Hypnoskull and Cervello Elettronico. In addition, Templezone and Mlada Fronta lend their talents to this unorthdox album - guaranteed to surprise you and impress you. "Parasite" releases on the 18th April - one of a handful of upcoming releases to drop on "Resistanz Friday" - where lucky festival goers can pick up this release the day it comes out - and be the first to get their hands on it.Comes in a 4 panel digipak with lyrics, and is limited to 50 copies. BONUS MATERIAL : The first 20 pre-orders of "Parasite" will come with an exclusive key-chain, designed and arranged by Ira-k Organisation.
After a massive 2013, fresh on the heels of shows at Resistanz Festival, and Best of British, Electro-Punk come Industrial act Cease2xist return, and ask, rather resoundingly : "Where Is Your God Now?"
Downright blasphemic, heavy as hell, and unrepentant, "WIYGN?" is the perfect follow-up to "You Are Expendable" - trading off catchy electro hooks for aggressive beats. Easily more brutal than "You are Expendable", "WIYGN?" takes the project down an analytic road, analyzing the Hypocrisy that's prevalent in Religion. Combine this with modern culture and the seeming fall of man that's all too obvious these days, and we're onto a very, very powerful concept.
Dayve Yates has never been a stranger to saying how he feels, and crucially, the leap between releases has been treated with great care, to ensure that Cease2xist remains... Cease2xist. A heap of new tracks host the Resistanz 2013 favourite "Incinerator" - given a full makeover. In addition, we have Guest Vocals from Cryogenic Echelon and Dreams Divide.
Six original commandments. Seven disciples with their own scriptures written and delivered. Keep an ear out for everything from brutally aggressive Black Metal to Dub and Glitch - these remixes could almost convert the most committed of souls into purgatory...
Join us, as we take you on a trip into hell and ask... WIYGN?
Release 18th April. Resistanz Friday. Mixed and Mastered by Gary Walker.
BONUS MATERIAL :
"Living By The Bullet - Reloaded". A rework of the best four tracks from the 2010 Cease2xist Demo EP. Reworked and remastered. Completely FREE with pre-orders ONLY.

About Prolife:
Prolife is an anti-suicide band formed out of the ashes of death rock enthusiasts and label alumni Slug Guts. After Slug Guts’ last U.S. tour, James Dalgliesh (vocals) and Nicholas Kuceli (saxophone) returned to their flat on Lygon St. in Melbourne, Australia and decided to buy some pedals to make noisy landscapes for the modern asthmatic gentleman to lie awake to at night. Using toy keyboards (and some real ones) they developed minimal two track techno into a set of sprawling song based sets and played some shows with Jonny Telafone, Forces, Asps and Lakes. Their first proper release, this 7-inch, was recorded and produced by themselves with the help of Todd Dixon, who has specifically asked not to be named here.
