New Release @ Promofabrik.com: NOVALIS deux - Ghosts over Europe It has been more than 3 years and it took a huge amunt of artistic effort and studio work - but now it is done - the new album of NOVALIS DEUX is finished.


After the CD "Paradise...?" had convinced both the fans and the critics, the new CD "Ghosts over Europe" is a masterpiece that stands for the increased musical und artistical skills NOVALIS DEUX can again convince with.

Still being DarkFolk at its base, the band mixes lots of genres creating a CD that cannot be put into any single genre at all. Songs like "Sleeping Violin", "Homecoming", "Passing by" or "Rome" will find their place in the fans and critics minds for sure.

In addition to the two main members of the band Stev (lyrics) and Marcel (keyboards) NOVALIS DEUX has two new members - Mathias (Drums) and Jojo (Piano, Guitar) who both contribute their skills to the new NOVALIS DEUX sound, which makes clear that this is a band we can expect more from in the future.

It comes up with a premium copper-embossment digipac.

Rise and Fall of a Decade release "Love it or leave it" final 2-CD

"Love it or leave it" is definitively the last album of Rise and Fall of a Decade. Reunited in 2006, the band's new creative effort was soon brought to an end by the sudden death of singer Pierre FranÁois Maurin-Malet in May 2007. All lyrics had been recorded before and composer Thierry Sintoni did an emotionally disturbing job in finishing the yet incomplete songs. This process resulted in an album that presents us a grown and genius band that was no longer bound to any genre limitations and even processed influences of the side-project Cube like People.

Especially the ballad "In the time when", a collaboration with guest singer Carla Picchiantano and Pierre FranÁois, proves that Rise and Fall of a Decade still belong to the most important bands of that genre. As special bonus, the album comes up with an additional CD called "A missing friend tribute" - full of mixes and cover versions done by bands like Collection D'Arnell-Andrea, Speaking Silence, Hide and Seek, Nemo Sandman, O Quam Tristis. And now, after 20 years - after two decades - the journey has come to an end and we say goodbye to one of the greatest bands - and great people... Merci!

Atomic Neon release "Darkenia"

ATOMIC NEON's impressive relaunch of the timeless "Cold Wave" genre "Darkenia" is up on it's way to dominate the world. Having started their spaceship from planet "Darkenia", the young band releases this OldSchool Cold Wave CD just right after their "Life on Earth EP" released o

n Motor Digital. These 6 extra-terrestrian musicians were on the hunt for a life saving substance - the ATOMIC NEON. In a skillfully arranged manner, adding new elements to the ColdWave sound and combining PunkRock with emotional vocals, this CD presents a range of sounds which won't definitely be forgotten.


"We are Post Punk!“

Influenced by the sounds from the late 70's/early 80's, ATOMIC NEON is the groundbreaking band for the future.

1994 was the year Rio Black & Dr. Mole, the creative center for ATOMIC NEON, first made music together. In the Fall of 2006, after forming the Synth-Pop project SPUNK2003, Black & Mole searched for a live guitarist to help. Thus, the project was reinvented and songs were reconstructed into the band ATOMIC NEON.

Our intentions? 

To make music that represents us. Retro or Old Skool? Always for the future.

New release for Agapesis on November 14, 2008

Belgian Electro-Fetish musicians strike back: One year after the successful release of their debut "Sacrilege", they return with the new album "Mikstress of Blood".



Maturated musicaly and stilistally, the sequel album again in again concentrating on sophisticated lyrics in the field of BDSM and old-school-electro.

The new album travels across all different genres of electronic music. Every musical element is different to the previous one, thus the album becomes many facets. Often claimed "the modern DIE FORM", Agapesis do not fully meet that cliché: The danceable mix of archaic minimal electronics and gothic elements is much to individual. The duets of both impressive protagonists describe their own dark, decadent world of pain, style and sickness. However, the albums depict only one side of the busy duo. Especially the live-performances of the sexually active couple are unique and a must to attend!



Biography:

Mélanie appeared in Jean-Pierre’s life, they met in August 2006 and in February 2007 they decided to live together at JP’s home in Kortrijk. They soon discovered that they had a lot of   common interests, especially in music and Jean-Pierre found the motivation back again. The same month, they created the band Aga

p

esis. They first found that name regarding their love. The name Agapesis comes from the ancient Greek “Agapé” which mea

ns spiritual love. The ancient Greeks had three words 

to designate love: Eros, Philias and Agapé. Agapé was the title of their first song and so they took a synonym of this word for the band. They found Agapesis which means “tenderness, affection”. That was the perfect meaning to them as it describes their love..


The following step was an everyday research in voices, sounds and of course the typical melodies from JP which this time could be fully expressed like JP’s whishes. A couple of concerts took place but in the beginning (from March to early October) the band was still looking for a self identity and couldn’t reach a form close to their desires.

It is only after the purchase of more professional instruments that they found their way and the soul of the band. And in December 2007, they really began to enjoy their creation in a band which is now in a permanent 

evolution. A very good Electro music with powerful songs, dancing rhythms with heavy bass lines remembering German music and melodies with classical accents. A band in the spotlights with an explicit fetish show which is better and better played only in clubs with a targeted audience. For more conventional places, an elegant and soft fetish show is performed. It is in September 2007 that the band signed a contract with the label Biohazzard Records, now in collaboration with the famous label Danse Macabre. They produced with this label their first CD ‘Sacrilège’ and a second CD will be released in November 2008.And the story is not about to stop…

Electronica / Alternativ / Gothic

01 Sexual Desire
