Angels on Acid was founded by Michael Banks in 2003. Their sound is influenced by a wide range of dark electronica, refined over the years through experimentation to deliver the signature sound their fans have come to expect. Angels On Acid's music has been featured in compilations such as Electronic Saviors Volume 2 (Metropolis Records), Septic X (Dependent Records), and Endzeit Bunkertracks Volumes 3 and 4 (Alfa-Matrix). They have also had the pleasure to perform with bands like Combichrist, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, JulienK, Assemblage 23, Imperative Reaction, Bella Morte, and many more.
Angels on Acid will soon be releasing their highly anticipated fourth album, "Exile." Fans will immediately identify with the signature elements from their earlier albums, while experiencing new and more diverse layers of sound uncovered by the band's continued musical experimentation.
E One announces the release of Hyde Park On Hudson.
Hyde Park on Hudson is a 2012 British biographical comedy-drama film directed by Roger Michell. The film stars Bill Murray and Laura Linney as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Margaret Suckley, respectively. It was based on Margaret Suckley’s private journals and diaries discovered after Suckley's death about her love affair with and intimate details about President Franklin D. Roosevelt
Synopsis
In June 1939, King George VI (then separately but simultaneously monarch of Canada, the United Kingdom, and a dozen other countries) and his wife, Queen Elizabeth made a visit to the United States as king and queen of Canada, during which they stayed at President Franklin D. Roosevelt's country estate in Hyde Park, New York. At the same time, the President was growing closer to his sixth cousin and eventual mistress, Margaret Suckley. Roosevelt hoped he could use the visit to, in part, bolster American support for the United Kingdom on the eve of World War II, which broke out less than three months later
The movie can be seen in the theatres from 27th February.
Swedish/American-trio Titans arrived like a bomb in the scene last year with their album "For the long gone" which was praised by the media.
Strong electro/ebm-pop melodies signed swedish-duo Fredrik Mattsson and Jimmy Svensson and leadvocalist Dan von Hoyels fantastic voice quickly made them a name within the scene.
Now they return with the EP "My Sorrow EP" which is released together with an amazing video and two totally brand new tracks which both proves that Titans has a lot more to give and that we just scratched the surface with the album.
Here's their brand new video. A tip for Covenant-fans!

Artist: FIELD ROTATION
Album: FATALIST: THE REPETITION OF HISTORY
Format: CD | LP | DIGITAL
Release: 15 February 2013
Label: Denovali/Cargo
FIELD ROTATION was founded 2008 by the electronic music composer and producer Christoph Berg in Kiel, Northern Germany. Experimenting with electronic and classical elements this project combines floating soundscapes with electro- acoustic colours to create minimalistic soundtracks renouncing of visualisation but interacting with the listeners emotions and feelings. As a violinist and pianist Christoph combines the synthetic sound engineering with natural sounds to commu- nicate his short acoustic tales and impressions.
After various EPs, remixes, collaborations, and compilation contributions, his main release so far, the album 'Acoustic Tales', was released in 2011. It is certainly an understatement to say that 'Acoustic Tales' received a positive response from both the general audience and the music press:
With his new album FIELD ROTATION concentrates on the more classically based production, continuing and expanding upon the musical idea of his 'Acoustic Tales' project. 'FATALIST: THE REPETITION OF HISTORY' is marked by a notice- able inner fragility, the contrast between bitter harshness and stirring melancholy. In the fatalist view of history, the ancient Greeks thought that just as the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter repeat themselves every year, history would do the same and follow a cyclic course. This may or may not be true, however, Field Rotation has certainly succeeded once again in composing an album which will ease as many minds as it will thoroughly shake.
Artist: ONEIROGEN
Album: KIASMA
Format: CD | 2xLP | DIGITAL
Release: 22 February 2013
After the debut album "Hypnos" and the "Veni Nox Anima" EP finally new material of this New York based composer. With ONEIROGEN, Mario Diaz de Leon creates his own style of hallucinatory music, merging ethereal synths, brutal distortion, dark ambient and noise. The project was initiated in 2012 with the release of "Hypnos", which garnered widespread acclaim among fans of experimental and heavy music for its varied and cinematic intensity. Steve Smith of the New York Times praised the disc for its "hallucinatory intensity.
While maintaining a strong electronic (and unclassifiable) sound, "Kiasma" offers an intensification of the metal elements present on the debut. Thoughout the album's walls of drumless distortion, melody is a prominent feature, with tracks such as "Numina", "Mutilation", "Pathogen", and "Mortisomnia" exploring revelatory intersections of heavy synths and guitars. The 14-minute "Katabasis" opened nearly every live show of 2012, and is rooted in drone/doom metal, with elements of modern classical and noise. "Gauze" and "Imminence" serve as haunting interludes, and are concise takes on bleak and cold melody. Ranging from melancholic to brutally foreboding, another immersive and visionary album by ONEIROGEN.
