Their recently released 4-track EP "The Business" stormed the clubs in no time, and now Alfa Matrix launches XMH's 4th studio release "In Your Face". While the Dutch band stands for aggrotech assaults of uptempo harsh elektro they have matured a lot since their previous releases thanks to a mature and polished production work which was handled by producer Len Lemeire (IMPLANT, 32CRASH, UNTER NULL, DUNKELWERK, ANNE CLARK, etc.). The result: intelligent refined virulent melodies reinforced by female backing vocals from Isa Garcia perfectly matching with Benjamin Samson's powerful growls.
"In Your Face" offers also some more downtempo trance and future-pop influenced songs like "Great And Unfortunate Things" making the album very diverse.
The album is also released as a deluxe 2CD edition featuring a diverse collection of radical remix reinterpretations of the album songs by artists including LEAETHER STRIP, GRENDEL,HEIMATAERDE, ASHBURY HEIGHTS, THE DREAMSIDE, IMPLANT, HELALYN FLOWERS, DECODED FEEDBACK, TYSKE LUDDER, JUNKSISTA and many more.
The band also announced new concert dates:
9 May Dresden (DE)
31 May Synthage Festival Berlin (DE)
30 August Nightfall Festival The Hague (NL)
31 October Mysterium Festival Marseille (F)
After a 5 year hiatus, California's Slave Unit returns with a new attitude and new album, Through With You. Conceived in 1995 as a solo project of Mike Welch, Slave Unit is one of the innovators of the "Coldwave Sound" that took the world by storm in the early/mid 90s and has continued to progress into the 2000s. Slave Unit's sound strikes you with powerful rhythms, bass-heavy beats, original samples and crunching guitars. Through with You follows Slave Unit's signature formula and stellar tracks like "Typical," "3," and "Euthanize" will not disappoint the coldwave loyalist. Other tracks like "I Don't Care Anymore" and "Lordfly" can crossover into the heavy metal and hard rock genres while "Typical" and "Rep.Resent" dabble in hip-hop. Overall, Through With You was well worth the wait and propels Slave Unit into a force to be reckoned with for the future.
State of the Union has returned from a long hiatus with a new album, new attitude and new singer. State of the Union's architect, Johann Sebastian, has teamed up with vocalist Evannkie to further push the musical boundaries of State of the Union. My Time Away showcases State of the Union's more accessible form of Futurepop/EBM, by blending contemporary electronic styles with inspiring lyrics, hard-hitting beats, and symphonic orchestrations. The first single, "Dancing in the Dark" has become an instant club hit, charting in the Top 5 on the German DAC and making the Top 10 on Radio and DJ playlist across the globe. The follow-up single, "My Time Away" should continue the chart success with its high energy spirit, catchy hooks and layers of EDM synths. >From start to finish, this album is packed with EDM chart toppers and they even go as far as covering Fictional's megahit "Blue Lights."
***The WTII version also features two bonus tracks not on the Infacted or Gravitator versions.
