The title track is featured in two different versions and two heavily dance floor compatible remixes (one of them a highly club-infused mix from Icon Of Coil’s Sebastian Komor) and again showcases the Berlin-based band delivering instant hit material that effectively bridges the gap between the Electro-scene’s Pop- and Hard-Dance-factions with a perfect synthesis of massive Club-sounds, emotional depth and catchiness. The b-side Static also sees Solitary Experiments deliver the goods: a picture-perfect, catchy club tune in the band’s unmistakable trademark style. As a special extra, the single also features the elaborate video clip for the title track. 'Immortal' will effectively whet your appetite for the new album 'In The Eye Of The Beholder', due for release in the second half of 2009. The limited and hand numbered single is available exclusively through the Out Of Line mail order and store. Tracklisting: 01. Immortal (Single Edit) 02. Immortal (IOC Mix by Sebastian Komor) 03. Static 04. Immortal (Extended) 05.

The new album is titled 'Skyscraper', and is due out in the USA August 4, 2009. Banks has written under the Plenti penname for many years, according to Billboard. Some of the songs on the album are brand new, but others were written more than ten years ago. The album reportedly has a "cocky, sexy" feel. Plenti is a name Banks used to perform under before Interpoland was credited with engineering a 2005 remix of the band's track 'NARC'. Meanwhile, Interpol have been busy rehearsing new material for the follow-up to 2007's 'Our Love To Admire'. Tracklisting: 1. Only If You Run 2. Fun That We Have 3. Skyscraper 4. Games for Days 5.

The album cover was designed by Michal Karcz, who also created the artwork for the album 'Judgement'. It is undoubtedly one of his finest works. The image of a momument, in the middle of a wasteland, is a metaphor for all our greatest hopes and solemn intentions and the brutal extremes that we're capable of, our schizophrenic nature as humans and the eternal struggle to move forward. In sound, the album moves on from where Judgement left off, taking the VNV Nationsound a firm step forward. It is an album that is, at times, soulful and anthemic while, at other times, it is raw and uncompromising. European and North American Tours have also been announced. Check the link below. Tracklisting: 01. Pro Victoria 02. Sentinal 03. Tomorrow Never Comes 04. The Great Divide 05. Ghost 06. Art of Conflict 07. In Defiance 08. Verum Aeturnus 09. From My Hands 10. Where Is the Light Listen: myspace.com/vnvnation  DIE FORM: Die Form return with a long-awaited new long-playing album that marks one of the strongest works Die Form has ever created. Elaborately combining mesmerizing and disturbing photo art, experimental sound scapes, classical influences, heavenly voices and a rather healthy dose of relentless club sounds, Philippe Fichot and Éliane P. weave a sonic web on 'Noir Magnétique' that is nothing short of enthralling. It is seldom that music works in both a club context and as a work of art. Die Form have achieved just that… while 'Noir Magnétique' is one of the group’s most accessible and dance floor compatible releases, ever, easily matching their most successful club hits, it still sports an absolutely unique sound and artistic vision. The album expertly continues the path Die Form took with last year’s smashing single 'Her(t)z Frequenz' (which is also featured on the album in a new mix) with strong beats, enticing melodies, cold sounds and a constant tug-o-war between harsh emotional coolness and pure, innocent beauty. 'Noir Magnétique' will be released as a regular CD version and a lavish collector’s set, limited to 999 copies, and containing the album plus the special exclusive 7” single “Kobol” and a deluxe booklet with exclusive photo art in an elaborate 7”-sized box. Released on May 29, 2009. Tracklisting: 1. Voltaic Control System 2. Decadence 3. Deep Zone 4. Nocturnal Emotions 5. Tristesse 6. Waves of Dream 7. Autonomic 8. Inferno 9. Her(t)z Frequenz 10.

Here's a band that is still angry - song titles like The Great Consumer, Leash and Smack! live up to their promise - and, most of all, still vintage Neon Judgement: recognisable yet firmly rooted in the new century, brawly and without compromise yet swinging and hopeful. Belgian duo The Neon Judgement, consisting of keyboardist/vocalist Dirk Da Davo and guitarist/vocalist T.B. Frank, veered in the 80s and 90s between minimalistic industrial drones and odd, new wave-ish synth pop and dance music, underlain by cold, mechanical rhythms. Release date in Benelux: 28 April 2009 Link: theneonjudgement.com  BELLA LUNE: Phoenix based gothic/synthpop act Bella Lune have released their second music video for the song 'Transmissions', which can be seen on bellalune.net.

Bella Lune debuted their new video in front of a live audience on Friday, April 10th, 2009, with Voltaire and The Spider Hole on Voltaire's 'The Bottom Of The Sea' tour. They also performed live with Lycia and Audra in 2009, and will be opening for My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult on May 1st at The Sets in Tempe, AZ.

The EP features a single from the album, the remixes of two classic ROME tracks Reversion and Wir Götter der Stadt and an exclusive dark ambient track which perfectly evokes the theme of Exile so characteristical of the upcoming album.
