The first Single from the new Album by ex-KRAFTWERK member KARL BARTOS! No other edifice in Europe symbolizes the rise and fall of atomic power quite as dramatically as the Atomium. This gigantic model of an iron crystal, erected for the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels, finds its musical voice on the first single lifted from the new Karl Bartos album “Off the Record”.
But what does iron crystal music sound like? Karl Bartos combines variable metrics and intelligent rhythmicity with calculated noise and the elegant weightlessness of his melodies – neoclassicism meets avant-garde electronica. To achieve this, he delves deep into his music archives.
Fans of the band have been clamoring for a new Porcupine Tree release. The wait ends this November with the release of Octane Twisted¸ a double disc live set recorded in Chicago during the tour that supported The Incident, the band's most recent album.
The Incident went top 30 in both the UK and USA, and the world tour climaxed with sold out shows in October last year at Royal Albert Hall in London and Radio City Music Hall in New York.
The album marked another step forward in the incredible journey of the band from a solo studio project created by Steven Wilson in the late eighties to a Grammy nominated act and one of the world s most revered live bands.
After announcing their new live DVD, Nitzer Ebb will drop a double-LP featuring the audio from the DVD mastered for vinyl and limited to only 400 copies worldwide.
This beautiful set comes in transparent vinyl housed in a gatefold full-print sleeve and includes outstanding versions of Nitzer Ebb's biggest hits, "Let Your Body Learn", "Murderous", "I Give To You" and more! Essential for collectors, a must for EBM fanatics
Demon-hunting with Combichrist! The Norwegian-American cult band graces the epic reboot of the highly popular computer game series „DmC Devil May Cry“ with an apocalyptic fusion of Industrial, Electro and Metalcore. Out Of Line will be releasing a 13 track collection titled "No Redemption", featuring some of the best new works that Combichrist created exclusively for the game.
This release will also be available as a deluxe double CD edition with an exclusive compilation containing the 10 Combichrist-classics that were licensed for use in the game.
The creators of “DmC Devil May Cry”, one of the most popular computer game series, could hardly have chosen a more fitting partner to write the sound track than charismatic singer/producer/songwriter Andy LaPlegua and his band Combichrist.
Personified evil and the dark side of human existence and society have always been central themes in the group’s oeuvre, making them the perfect match for a game that focuses on the origin story of the series protagonist, human-demon-half breed Dante, fighting evil by any means necessary. Fitting the not exactly squeamish nature of the game itself, with the hero not hesitating to make use of his demonic powers and diverse weaponry to reach his goal, Combichrist are unleashing a massive sonic onslaught of aggressive, electronic walls of sound, spiced up with hefty Metalcore elements that complement the game's battle scenes perfectly.
The new elements might surprise a few people but fit hand in glove into the grand scheme ! of a band returning to a violent, yet addictive top form. "No Redemption"“ is also released as a limited deluxe edition that also contains a compilation of the 10 Combichrist-classics that were used in the game, alongside the 13 new tracks that Combichrist recorded for „DmC Devil May Cry“ featured on disc one: this exclusive bonus disc is not only a perfect introduction to Combichrist's past for the gamers who will be first exposed to the band when they dive into the world of Dante, but also a superb hit collection for fans...
Join Combichrist on the hunt for demons… HELL awaits in January!
