ROTERSAND declare "War On Error"

ROTERSAND take up the fight against conformity and standardisation.
The influence of media and marketing strategies increasingly undermines the significance of individuality. In order to extend and facilitate access to our personal data and consumer profiles, the system has declared war on error; a war against the unpredictable, the imponderable, the ‘error’ in everyone of us. ROTERSAND propagate to intentionally cause flaws in that system as a means of civil disobedience.

ROTERSAND oppose the system with a clear message: “It’s my life, it’s my mind, it‘s my heart – I’m not a digit” (from ‘War on Error’, from the forthcoming album ‘Random is Resistance’, Trisol 2009).

To prevent us from eventually becoming mere cogs in a perfectly synchronized data exploitation system, ROTERSAND call upon us to “Be less transparent, be less predictable, be an ‘error’ in this ever-refining matrix of the commerce machinery!”

War on Error’, the new EP from ROTERSAND, contains seven (!) exclusive mixes and one track not available anywhere else (‘Dirty’). This supercharged E.P. will take the electro dancefloors by storm and also recruit an army of new fans.

Once again ROTERSAND prove that not only their sales figures rank at the top of the international electro scene. Their massive tracks set the clubs ablaze and their intelligently produced songs captivate live audiences the world over. ROTERSAND will be going on tour with VNV NATION in autumn 2009.

This mini-album comes in a precious digipak and presents the lyrics in an atmospheric booklet which visualizes the topics. It is designed by Ingo Römling, whose artwork has already graced the most recent releases of ASP, L’AME IMMORTELLE and IN STRICT CONFIDENCE.

Cyber-Industrial newcomer from EXTIZE kick all with Orkus Headline-Story!

This summer’s going to be hot! Hot and loud!

Because out of cyberspace, a firecracker is coming directly towards us, which with its mixture of industrial, trance, hellektro, electro and techno will transform every dancefloor into a sea of flames!

EXT!ZE are shrill, crazy and grotesque, like colourful neon light which flickers like crazy to the hypnotic rhythms coming out of the speakers and which shows the way to the decadent nightlife. EXT!ZE are genuine, vibrant and sincere: the real deal! They live for their music; they live the crazy lifestyle with the all-night dancing and, with their song ‘Hellektrostar’, are going down a storm in the French and German clubs. Now they have finally found their way out of the underground and to a label and so their fireball of sounds, rhythms, samples and their unique vocals will finally reach everyone.

As a taster for the coming album, for the moment there is the EP, which as well as the club hit ‘Hellektrostar’ contains the insane ‘100% Pure Cocaine’ and remixes from wellknown cohorts such as REAPER und NACHTMAHR.

The question as to whether to take the red pill or the blue pill doesn’t apply here! EXT!ZE are the pill which opens the way to the neon light-soaked, uniquely grotesque world.

EXT!ZE are superstars!

PERFIDIOUS WORDS come back with a new, sensational album

A cult band who almost slipped into oblivion return with a magnificent new album. PERFIDIOUS WORDS present what is only their third studio album in ten years, but some things need time in order to become fully realised.

Feel Like Me’ is not only fully realised: it’s perfect! An accomplished electro pop album which will satisfy the longing of many fans. Whereas some bands have spent years indulging in wild experiments or creating generic chart-friendly mush, PERFIDIOUS WORDS create music which is a perfect mixture of the danceable, sensitive and catchy, without spilling over into the realms of triviality. Warm, dark vocals combine with insanely catchy synth sounds to form a fervent album of electronic music. Full of spirit, full of sounds; exactly that which every electro pop fan has waited in vain for years for. Here it is! The ultimate work, which shows that after over 20 years, this genre is a long way from coming to an end. Those who liked the early works of YAZOO or ERASURE shouldn’t pass this electro pop-pearl by.

These aren’t the ‘sounds of the universe’, simply single stars in the dark sky of electronic music, which shine all the brighter for it!

In addition to the CD, the album comes with an 80-minute DVD, which proves beyond doubt that PERFIDIOUS WORDS are exceptional musicians who understand their craft. With this concert recording, some studio sessions and a video clip, people will be asking themselves in astonishment where this band was during those last few years in which we mourned the old gods, who with their most recent releases only disappointed.

CLAN OF XYMOX prove their trust in love!

Clan Of XYMOX already proved with the taster single ‘Emily’ that after almost 25 years (!) of the band’s history, their creative potential is a long way from being exhausted. Now it’s finally here! The long-awaited, brilliant new full-length album from the living legends. Elegiacally beautiful, melancholically powerful, emotionally stirring. Shimmering goth rock guitars meet modern electronic sounds; pulsating walls of sound meet no-nonsense rhythms with everything crowned with dark vocals which are variously heart-rending, full of hymnal yearning and powerful.

Classic darkwave of the olden days combines with the electronically-orientated modern era to form a fascinating, unique creation which combines masterly, mighty rock songs and sensitive ballads.
So Clan Of XYMOX make the perfect transition from their beginnings as one of the most important bands on the legendary 4AD label through to the modern age of the 21st century. ‘In Love We Trust’ forms the perfect high point to a line which once began with ‘Clan Of XYMOX ’ and which was developed further with ‘Medusa’.
In Love We Trust’ will come to be mentioned in the same breath as albums such as ‘Disintegration’ from THE CURE and ‘Victorialand’ from the COCTEAU TWINS.
The first edition of ‘In Love We Trust’ is released as a lavish 6-panelled digipak with an extensive booklet which perfectly sets the visual scene for the story and which can be described without over-exaggeration as a work of art.

A collectors’ piece which no fan of Clan Of XYMOX should be without!

DUPONT come back with new album!

It’s been four and a half years since this Swedish duo released their last album “Intermezzo”, an album that opened loads doors and made them a name to be reckoned with.

Now finally this Stockholm based act returns with a brand new album “Entering the Ice Age”. This album mixes hard beats and rhythms with and equal dose of fine electronic pop.
They claim themselves to be inspired by acts such as DAF, Joy Division and Depeche Mode. Those names gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect. Old-school meets modern music in the best of ways... Enter The Ice Age...

Bandbiography:

Starting in 1999 as a trio in Stockholm, Sweden this band quickly made a name for themself. And already in April 2000 saw the release of their first EP on the german label Life Is Painful. After the release of their debut album "Ukraina" in 2001 the band took the form they have to day as a duo. With Riccardo on vocals and Dannuci on machines. Even the music took a turn from the typical old-school EBM sound to more a more modern up-to-date sound. And by the time of the 2005 album "Intermezzo" things really starts to form. Now after four years of waiting... They present their absolute best work up-to-date on a new label. Dupont is back.

NACHTMAHR will unleash hell on August 7, 2009

The nightmare of this crisis-ridden world has only just begun as L’AME IMMORTELLE mastermind Thomas Rainer’s industrial formation once more undergoes a revolution in style. After he transformed himself with the preceding albums and the cult single ‘Katharsis’ into the wildly-accaimed ‘dance dictator’ of international concert halls and clubs, he now returns with a triumphant and unified work of art which only now properly inaugurates the ‘war on the dancefloor’: ‘Alle Lust will Ewigkeit’ conjures up in its title the cyclical philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, and thus it becomes clear: NACHTMAHR doesn’t bring back the shattered memory of past times; NACHTMAHR is much more a state of being: dressed in the garments of the warrior, they celebrate the rumbling storm of the beats as their eternal flame of desire and sin.


More than ever, sexuality seeps into in this work. Whilst in the booklet the NACHTMAHR girls loll around provocatively, with a song such as ‘Sklave’ (in English, ‘Slave’) one conjures up sadomasochistic scenarios. NACHTMAHR’s musical ‘will to power’ reaches a higher level: the ‘vendetta’ will silence the sceptic, the ‘Code Red’ for those who falsely believed themselves to be in the final moments of tranquility. NACHTMAHR whet the blade with a new battle cry: “Because I can!”

Among the pounding EBM beats and the rasping industrial noise, NACHTMAHR have dusted themselves down and do the dance of decay from Moscow to Berlin all the while inflaming the greedy mob. Because ‘Alle Lust will Ewigkeit’!

Biography:

„I only have one interest: i don’t care if you live or die: I just wanna see you dance !“

This is the motto that made Thomas Rainer create his new musical project NACHTMAHR in 2007. After the Austrian artist has achieved worldwide success with L’AME IMMORTELLE and SIECHTUM in the past 11 years, he returns to his roots: the boiling dancefloors of industrial and goth clubs alike

Inspired by numerous years of Djing NACHTMAHR is the missing link between merciless and provocative Industrial and the hammering power of Techno. The first release “Kunst ist Krieg” and it’s club hit “BoomBoomBoom” instantly conquer the dancefloors worldwide.

With the release of the full-length album “Feuer frei!” the success of the EP was exceeded by far: Germany’s biggest and most influential dark music magazine ORKUS quoted: “This is the new standard for the electro industrial genre” and the club single “Katharsis” dominated the clubs for months.


After two extensive tours through the United States and concerts in all parts of Europe and Russia NACHTMAHR is ready for another attack !

The new album entitled “Alle Lust will Ewigkeit” continues in the uncompromising and relentless path of destruction the Austrian Industrial project has chosen: heavy distorted beats, driving basslines and addictive melodies to pave the way to total club domination.
