Next up in our BIMfiles is Monolith.....
Who is he?
Solo project of electo music producer and wizzard Eric Van Wonterghem (Sonar/ Absolute Body Control/Insekt/...)
Renown for his elaborate electronic music arrangements which speak to both body and mind, MONOLITH takes us on a sonic journey cleverly departing from his most recent ritual oriented work to explore new territories. Repetitive loops, hypnotising electronic sequences and carrying rhythmics take you into a multi-coloured journey through electro and industrial landscapes, each time incorporating new exotic elements, using vocal samples and distinctive guest vocalists.
Featuring a more direct song writing approach, our Belgian studio guru meticulous production talent and a depressive apocalyptic central theme, He effortlessly delivers to us the ultimate hi-energy cocktail of modern urban industrial with some surprising minimal electro/clash tonalities intelligently blending our 80s analog music background (fortified by excellent real time synth performances) with futuristic fx and mesmerising electro sequences.
A band having the rare privilege to appeal to a very diversified audience, ranging from the Ant-zen harsh ambient/industrial camp through Novamute more intellectual electronic dance experiments or yet Gigolo Records electro clash gang.

The prestigious series The White Queen starring Amanda Hale, Aneurin Barnard and Rebecca Ferguson will be released on both DVD and Blu-ray through A-Film. This highly acclaimed series about one of the most turbulent areas of British history will be available from 14th January on.
Synopsis:
A portrayal of one of the most dramatic and turbulent times in English history. A story of love and lust, seduction and deception, betrayal and murder, it is uniquely told through the perspective of three different, yet equally relentless women - Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort and Anne Neville.
In their quest for power, they will scheme, manipulate and seduce their way onto the English throne. The year is 1464, before the Tudor dynasty ruled the country, and war has been ravaging throughout England over who is the rightful King. It is a bitter dispute between two sides of the same family, The House of York and The House of Lancaster. The House of York's young and handsome Edward IV is crowned King of England with the help of the master manipulator, Lord Warwick "The Kingmaker."
But when Edward falls in love with a beautiful Lancastrian commoner, Elizabeth Woodville, Warwick's plan to control the throne comes crashing down. A violent, high-stakes struggle ensues between...

San Diego's dark-electronic duo AAIMON released their debut full-length this week.
The self-titled album follows a string of internet releases, remixes, and the highly-praised Flatliner EP in 2012 (Tundra Dubs / Artoffact Records). Earlier, tracks from the new album were leaked by Exclaim!, UnReal, Side-Line Magazine, and I Die: You Die.
AAIMON is a challenging record that draws inspiration from classic acts like Coil, Swans and Throbbing Gristle but is also influenced by new lo-fi witch-house electronic musicians such as oOoOO and Salem. The duo have called it the culmination of a year's work and "the exact album we wanted it to be." The album is released worldwide on Artoffact Records in both a 1CD and 2CD editions, as well as a digital download available on iTunes on December 10th. A vinyl version of the album is in the works for early 2014 release.
AAIMON have appeared live at SXSW as well as Calgary's Terminus Festival, and have also shared the stage with oOoOO, King Dude, Suicide Commando and Thieves Like Us. They recently remixed Aesthetic Perfection for Metropolis Records. The duo will perform at LA's Complex venue on January 12th to debut the album live.
