The short look at the Rob Marshall-directed movie version of the Stephen Sondheim musical features glimpses of Meryl Streep’s witch, Anna Kendrick’s Cinderella and just the slightest hint of Johnny Depp’s wolf as he descends on a village of children.

Into the Woods is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales in a musical format that follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel-all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them

Into the woods will be in theatres on Christmas!

It is not every day that Xenomorph Productions' studio owner and engineer signs an album to his own name! Over the 2 last decades, Sebastian R. Komor has been writing music in genres ranging from EDM/Industrial/Metal to Synth Pop/Trip-Hop and Orchestral gaining recognition on the electronic scene through various projects like ZOMBIE GIRL, ICON OF COIL, BRUDERSCHAFT, KOMOR KOMMANDO, MELT and many more. 

Today with his new album, SEBASTIAN KOMOR plunges us into the midst of the Game Of Thrones battlefields and The Hobbit peaks for a fascinating sound adventure. With an album so evokingly and aptly titled as "Vikings, Thrones & Dragonbones", the Norwegian artist decided to awake his deep and profound roots, his "Viking side"... 

Having always had a true fascination of the huge, epic and demanding impact orchestral music can have, SEBASTIAN KOMOR turned the synths off and composed music. Strings, violas, cellos, timpani, working with and exploring some and all of the elements in an orchestra. Building tension and creating emotions, a musical landscape in all its grandeur. He then turned the synths and machines back on, adding the punch, the beats and the basslines Komor is so much renowned for. 

Most of the songs featured on this album are based around a specific situation or scenario (think "Dragon's Lair", "Vikings On Parade", "Fallen Warrior"...), offering to you a unique way to experience this soundtrack music, letting the music guide you into the most extravagant parts of your imagination. You'll be able to imagine yourself walking into a cave up in the mountains suddenly staring straight into the eye of a Dragon, or preparing for battle, gathering the men, sharpening the weapons, marching through the landscape. Musically this album goes from very quiet and peaceful moments all the way up to fighting for your life tension while the rhythms march along with the swords and Komor's unique characteristic grooves and bass lines come and reinforce the grandeur of this splendid soundtrack...Uplifting.

Cult American electro/industrial act MENTALLO & THE FIXER strikes back with another limited edition 3CD box release that will no doubt please all their fans! Like its title suggests, "Zothera" refers to the two Texan brother's (Gary and Dwayne Dassing) golden years period when they signed a multiple-album deal with Talla 2XLC's legendary German label Zoth Ommog. 

This new box-release does not only hold fully remastered versions of the classic albums "Revelations 23" and "Where Angels Fear To Tread", but also the exclusive "Apocrypha" bonus disc, a unique retrospective album featuring 16 hidden old-school treasures (over 70 plus minutes) with a majority of previously unreleased remixes/versions! Highly emotional and complex, MENTALLO & THE FIXER's music is characterized by snarling distorted vocals, hard cutting sequencer rhythms and thunderous beats. 

If the "Revelations 23" album laid the brutal electro-industrial foundations of MENTALLO & THE FIXER's huge discography with strong and aggressive hits like "Legion of Lepers", "Pulse Hemorrhage", or yet "Ancient Languages"; the "Where Angels Fear to Tread" 3rd album confirmed the band's raw power, dark intensity and multi-layered compositions' complexity with killer tracks like "Sacrilege", "Bring to a Boil" or "Afterglow". 

"The remastering made such a huge difference. I'm so very pleased with the quality. It's amazing! It's like reliving a specific defined memory for me…", proudly says Gary Dassing about these 2 remastered albums. 

MENTALLO & THE FIXER's past work always had some kind of Biblical connotation, so it's no surprise to see the bonus 3rd disc titled "Apocrypha", and that the "Zothera" box dark visual artwork concept is designed around the contradictory theme of guardian angels carrying savage weapons and the Bible's darkest parts... Let no one mislead you: MENTALLO & THE FIXER will deliver us from Evil! 

A FREE bonus 18-track CD label compilation is included in the box: Sounds From The Matrix 015 featuring previously unreleased songs from most recent & forthcoming releases on the Alfa Matrix label!

Think Modern English, think early Clan Of Xymox, think The Exploding Boy....or click and think for yourself! They're superb, that's all we know!

It's with great pride and honour that Alfa Matrix inaugurates its new label "vinyl" division with a very very special conceptual release: "Thalys" by METROLAND... 

Something that started as a crazy idea in a text message, got followed by a 6 second melody written while the band was on the road supporting 80's legend OMD, and eventually morphed into a unique multi-cultural adventure and fruitful collaboration with the renown international railway company itself: "Thalys", symbolised worldwide by its famous high-speed burgundy red trains...

You are fond of vintage keyboards, you got seduced last year by Belgium's METROLAND's successful "Mind The Gap" album and you have LP's by KRAFTWERK, TELEX and KOMPUTER in your music collection? Then, dear ladies and gentlemen, get seated for a new exciting sonic journey across Europe with METROLAND who bring us to the next level with their trademark sound made of carrying layers of melodic synths, robotic vocals and analogue drum machines.

This stand-alone "Thalys" 12" release marks the switch for METROLAND, from one dimension to another that will be opened and revealed in 2015 only... The "Thalys" tune perfectly fits this vinyl format with its extended structure in 2 consecutive non-stop mixed songs crowned by a splendid (and vinyl exclusive!!) remake on the second side by living legend producer/remixer PAUL KENDALL (best known for his current work with Alan Wilder (RECOIL/DEPECHE MODE) and his numerous remixes and productions for the legendary Mute Records). Additionally the B-side song "From Station To Station" was created from recycled parts of the "Thalys" original song to reach new destinations city after city... 

The included CD edition of the "Thalys" EP features alternative versions of the songs including stunning remixes by JONTEKNIK and NORTHERN KIND.

We will also notice within this challenging travelling conceptual project, that although all the burgundy red trains are this time departing from METROLAND's homeland capital Brussels, the digital version of the "Thalys" EP gets released in 3 different language versions according to its final "download" destination, with a French version for the "Paris" edition, a German version for the "Düsseldorf" edition and a "London" edition in English for the rest of the world... Die-hard METROLAND collectors will nevertheless find their way around these territorial frontiers and embrace all 3 versions thanks to Alfa Matrix's official space-travelling Bandcamp machine alfamatrix.bandcamp.com.

This extraordinary sonic homage by the METROLAND duo to this successful 21st century piece of technology and means of transportation that is embodied by the Thalys burgundy red trains gets marketed by Alfa Matrix in a very limited edition of 333 copies in "vinyl+CD package" format. React fast and add this ultimate futuristic collaboration to your collection.
