Jan 15, 2012  GRENDEL: Renowned for the
unorthodox and original use of orchestration, obscure samples incorporated with
harsh and pounding EBM structures, Grendel, (and its mastermind VLRK) has
perfected a unique spin on Aggrotech, and his previous releases, such as
2002’s "End of Ages" EP, 2003’s
"Prescription:Medicide, Soilbleed" EP, and 2007’s "Harsh
Generation" all stand as scene favorites and still dominate dance floors
worldwide. In 2009, the "Chemicals + Circuitry" EP was written &
recorded and was a slight diversion from the band's familiar sound; this EP
found Grendel exploring different sounds and styles. After three long years of
silence, Grendel emerges from the studio offering up the all new album
"Timewave : Zero". With this new release, Grendel both returns to its
signature sound, and pushes aggrotech further into new territories, continuing
the bands tradition of delivering cutting edge Harsh EBM! Released on April 24,
2012 on Metropolis Records.Tracklisting: 01. Rise 02. Conflict Instigation 03. Timewave : Zero 04. EPR // EDP 05. Wheels In Motion 06. Out Of My Mind 07. Deep Waters 08. Neon City Lights 09. Chemicals + Circuitry [v.2012] 10. Fall Link: Timewave : Zero

beast 'Women and Satan First'. Released on April 10, 2012, on Metropolis
Records. The album will be preceded by the DJ promo CD: DJ Dwarf XII. As usual,

Jan 14, 2012  AND ONE: AND ONE
are "Back Home", with an all new seven-track EP. And now there are
four of them... In addition to the return of Joke Jay and Rick Schah, Nico
"Tentacle Dieter" Wieditz, a new high-profile keyboard wizard and
co-producer, joined the gang. During the "S*xtron Tour 2011", Nico
already proved that it's possible to play 5 keyboards simultaneously without
getting into a bad mood. The new live recording of "High" was
interpreted by none other than the composer himself - Joke Jay - and in no
place less than Peine, Germany. Just before the EP ends with "Missing
Track" (a cover of "The Missing Band"), we hear two remixes of
the title track which once more emphasize
AND ONE's
philosophy: a remix is not really a remix until the original enviously sits
next to it! Release Date: 16th Jan 2012, on Synthetic Symphony.
Tracklisting: 01. Back Home (Club Mix) 02. Wounds 03. Rick 04. High (Live in Peine, The Original) 05. Back Home (Mixed Conditioner) 06. Back Home (Berlin Mixer) 07. Missing Track Link: Back Home EP
 FIELDS OF THE
NEPHILIM: EMI in conjunction with Sacred Symphony announce the release of
"Ceromonies", the long-awaited live album and DVD by Fields Of The
Nephilim. Subtitled "Ad Mortem , Ad Vitam" ('To Death, For Life'),
this release marks the closing of one chapter in
Fields Of The
Nephilim's history, paving the way for what is soon to come. As frontman
Carl McCoy says: "The 'Ceromonies' project is about crystallising a point
in time which embodies magical moments created by
Fields Of The
Nephilim. Having focussed on the live elements over the last few years this
represents a closure and regeneration. Recorded over two sell-out shows at
London's Shepherds Bush Empire, "Ceromonies" features songs from
their earliest days such as "Trees Come Down" and "Preacher
Man", through a series of undeniable classics including
"Moonchild", "Psychonaut" and a rare performance of
"Celebrate", whilst taking in the dramatic soundscapes of the mid-90s
Nefilim incarnation ("Penetration", "Shine" and
"Zoon"), and coming right up to date with the band performing tracks
from their most recent studio album "Mourning Sun".
"Ceromonies" also includes a very rare live performance of "Wail
Of Sumer/And There Will Be Your Heart Also", the thirteen minute, elegiac
finale of the band's landmark "Elizium" album. Release Date: 5th Mar
2012 Link: Ceremonies

collaborations with the album ‘Ssss’, out on Mute on 12 March 2012.

Yazoo/
Depeche Mode)
and Martin L.
Gore (Depeche
Mode), who have joined forces for the first time in over thirty years to

music. After initial tentative discussions, and a meeting at Short Circuit

influential musicians and songwriters worked in a typically unique way. Clarke

of 2011”, plus the forthcoming EP 2 / Single Blip. ‘Ssss’,

Jan 08, 2012  EISBRECHER: After a successful
run of tours and festival appearances in Europe including Alice Cooper’s
‘Theatre of Death Tour’ and The Nova Rock Festival, Eisbrecher is
poised to once again conquer the US clubs and charts. Heavier and harder than
ever before, 'Die Hölle muss warten' features an expertly crafted blend of
crushing guitars, menacing vocals, and melodic synth lines. Not one to stay the
course, Eisbrecher also shows its ability to incorporate modern influences and
blend them into songs that stay uniquely Eisbrecher, such as the dubstep-tinged
“Herz aus Eis.” The album’s opener “Tanz mit mir” is a
perfect example of what modern industrial rock should sound like, while tracks
such as “Rette mich” slow things down and feature frontman
Alex’s crooning voice over beautiful synth melodies. Released on February
14, 2012 on Metropolis Records.Tracklisting: 01. Tanz mit mir 02. Augen unter Null 03. Die Hölle muss warten 04. Verrückt (Original Version) 05. Herz aus Eis 06. Prototyp 07.

Nov 06, 2011  THE CURE: The Cure
have announced the release of their first new live album in almost 20 years.
The two-disc set will revisit the band's "legendary" appearance at
Bestival 2011, capturing hits such as A Forest, Disintegration and
Just Like Heaven, plus a 12-song encore, for a total of 32 songs.
Bestival Live 2011 was recorded at the Isle of Wight on 10 September, with
keyboardist Roger O'Donnell returning for a jam-packed three-hour set. While
the Cure
recently reissued 1990's Entreat, taped at Wembley Arena, the Bestival LP marks
the group's first official live record since 1993. It's also the first time
Robert Smith and company have ever released a recording of a complete single
concert. More exciting still for fans of
the Cure:
Bestival Live may be the first in a series. They have plans to issue a DVD from
their summer gigs at the Sydney Opera House, which featured O'Donnell, the
return of Lol Tolhurst, and an epic, four-hour set. "I suspect Live in
Paris 2008 may beat [that] out," Smith said in September. 'Bestival Live
2011' will be released on 6 December. Proceeds from the sales of the album will
benefit the Isle of Wight Youth Trust. Link: Bestival Live 2011 tracklisting
