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

Released on April 10, 2012, on Metropolis Records. The album will be preceded by the DJ promo CD: DJ Dwarf XII.

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

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.

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
