With their unique and formidable ability to combine very melodic, danceable electronics with haunting and powerful lyrics, electronic rock pioneers VNV NATION have built a massive fanbase, playing to hundreds of thousands of fans at both their own sold-out shows and major festivals worldwide.
Their massive hits "Chrome", "Beloved" and "Illusion" are club staples that still pack dancefloors.
On AUTOMATIC, their widely-anticipated new studio album, Irish/English bandmates Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson have been hard at work crafting the new album into something far more conceptualized and thematic than previous releases.
Calling the new album an "Opus of Retro-futurism", Ronan has been streamlining the music, artwork, and imaging of this album into a concept that encompasses the industrialization and technology of late 30s America while embracing the technology of today.

What a relief we have some readers who read twice our writings.
In a previous interview we stated that Sol 19 plays along with Attrition and Parade Ground (picture) on the 19th September at Bredene but the right date is of course 30th September.
Mea culpa and now to the (Belgian) beach!

Tobias Bernstrup who works both as a visual artist and musician has been active for more than a decade and positioned him self as one of the leading re-inventors of Italo Disco with his unique mix of Italo, New Wave and Gothic Noir. He has created his own unmistakable stage persona wearing androgynous outfits of shiny latex and heavy make-up.

The new album contains 11 smashing tracks, and some exciting guest vocal appearances. Among these Videodrome featuring vocals by Pascal Languirand of the legendary Trans-X. Other guests vocalists are Paola, Saralunden and finally; the Jan Hammer-like ballad 'No Time To Die' where Bernstrup sings a duet with Miss Liz of 'Xeno & Oaklander'.
