The Belarusian duo who have brought their digital hardcore sound to electronic and industrial festivals worldwide and look back at a plethora of releases since the turn of the century will release their new 16 track album “X” on HANDS in October.
ORGANIC, the Belgian project led by Raphaël Haubourdin and Joris Oster, have released their remix of "Rip Me", a song from "Hardware", the last album of Swedish cult band Agent Side Grinder. But when you listen to it, it's much more than a remix: ORGANIC have only kept the vocals by Kristoffer Grip and have completely re-arranged the song. Instead of the cold, repetitive structure of the original song, they have created a new atmosphere with real drum sounds, their typical staccato bass and beautiful synth melodies. They also added a harmonic development with additional chords. The end of the song is a nice progression, very much in the krautrock style, leading to the final climax. Amazing!
You can listen to the track on Soundcloud or YouTube. You can download it from Soundcloud in high quality mp3. The album "Hardware" by Agent Side Grinder can be bought here.
Enjoy and share!
Veteran EBM artist Claus Kruse is back in electro land! Before the release of his 8th album, PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE offers this special appetiser EP to his patient fans. Powered by the ass-kicking video clip of its title-song, the "Control" EP reveals 4 new vocal tracks, 2 experimental vintage electronic instrumental pieces as well as the remix work of legendary NO MORE or yet other EBM legends like VOMITO NEGRO, ARMAGEDDON DILDOS and the talented Germans of AD:KEY.
The musical direction of the new album is straight and clear: PNE revisits its harsh EBM roots (anno "Transmission") for your ultimate pain and pleasure with ripping basslines, hammering beats, fast dark electro sequences, powerful angry male vocals and carrying electronic melodies.
It’s not hard to imagine “Between Dog And Wolf” becoming one of the essential releases of 2013, for all fans of “non obvious” rock music. New Model Army fans are already used to the mix of wit, deepness and emotional turmoil delivered at every release by the band led by Justin Sullivan. This album goes one step further in terms of variety and complexity.
The album is filled with multi-layered drums and atmospheric musical textures while sacrificing none of the band’s famous passion, raw energy and songwriting skills. The self-produced set was finished earlier this year in Los Angeles with Joe Barresi mixing, (Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Tool). Whilst New Model Army have always been noted for encompassing a wide variety of musical ‘styles’, the record still marks a major evolution in their sound.
