Interviu: Kwoon

Filed under: Local News — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 7:28 pm

Salutari! Avand in vedere ca aceasta este primul nostru interviu, spune-mi cate ceva despre KWOON, conceptul vostru muzical, si daca exista o legatura intre numele trupei si muzica insasi?
KWOON este un concept ce mixeaza muzica visatoare si diferite povestiri, scopul este de a crea muzica trippy si totodata simpla, in cel mai bun mod posibil. De obicei,vraja are loc. Pasagerul nostru (a se citi: ascultatorul) este doar dus pe numeroase meleaguri. Noi incercam sa le stabilim undeva in departare, in afara oricarui timp.

Mai exact, ce v-a atras sa formati aceasta trupa? Gusturi comune sau doar dorinta de a canta impreuna? Sau e ceva mai mult?
Gusturile muzicale ce le-am impartasit, si acest mod poetic si probabil ambitios de a reda muzica. Ne doream ceva mai mult decat o alta trupa Rock amuzanta.

V-a luat ceva timp pana sa lansati primul vostru album, “Tales and Dreams”. De ce?
Primul album a fost proiectul propriu al lui Sandy: el a realizat toate partile de chitara si bass si inregistrarile, el a creat programarile de sintetizator si tobe, un proces intr-adevar lung. Al doilea a fost tot munca lui Sandy, dar intemeiat pe instrumente “reale”si executate de trupa.

Killing Joke: Absolute Dissent: to be released on September 27th

On their 30th anniversary, Killing Joke delight their fans with the release of a new ingenious material, “Absolute Dissent”, on Spinefarm Records UK, put together in London, Spain & Prague. The album features 12 tracks, entirely produced by the band themselves and engineered & mixed by Clive Goddard. “Absolute Dissent” will be available worldwide from 27th September.

It is for the first time in 28 years since the original line-up, consisting of emblematical front man Jaz Coleman, guitarist Geordie Walker, bassist Youth and drummer Paul Ferguson, have worked together on a record: “We have survived equipment being hi-jacked, tapes being withheld, nervous breakdowns, family bereavements, blood lettings, and a host of other challenges of Biblical proportions, comments Youth. “But we are now at the final ascent, and I have to say it’s one of the greatest albums I have ever had the privilege to be involved with… EVER! I have been living and breathing it for over four months now, and I’m still jaw-droopingly amazed at its power & beauty…

Autumn Ball Festival 2010

22. October 2010 – The Autumn Ball Festival 2010: A storm is rising!

As the wind sings its melody, driving the autumn leaves off the trees, a new musical blockbuster event is coming for you at the Capitol Hannover. In tune with the season, the AUTUMN BALL FESTIVAL 2010 on 22. October 2010 is literally up to blow your mind with the perfect line-up for a stormy autumn night:

Together with the electro-rockers OOMPH! from Wolfsburg, who signed in as headliners, nobody less than the “devil” himself announced his appearance, just about to twist around the audience with his irresistible TANZWUT. In the eye of the storm, ideal for an evening with red wine and candle light, QNTAL are adding an extra amount of dark mediaeval romanticism, garnished with moody and mystical electronica, to warm the audience from the cold breath of the German horror-rockers DER FLUCH (The Grudge). As the final entry to the line-up, STAUBKIND from Berlin will open the circle, sending a fresh breeze of gothic rock through the Capitol, while the aftershow party is going to round up this rousing ball night in Hannover.

Amphi Festival 2010 review: Day 1

AMPHI FESTIVAL in Cologne, Germany is the smartest and most convenient festival I have ever attended. It was obvious on July 24 and 25, 2010 that the organizer had definitely worked very hard to make all the 16,000 participants feel entertained and satisfied.

The clout of this festival was made of: the participants (amazing crowd of amazing dancers and party people, donning wonderful outfits – sometimes the audience were better dressed than the band members), the organization, the venue (amazing view of the Rhine, beach bar and lounge, small and large places to sit down, terraces and benches, in the shade or in the sun, vegetation everywhere). The location gives you the feeling of an all inclusive holiday club with another 16,000 people who are also enjoying themselves to the max.

Dsm, the new release from Ad Inferna

Filed under: Album Reviews — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 2:48 pm

Although it’s been less than a year since the release of “Trance:N:Dance”, AD INFERNA sharpen their tone, compared to the prior releases, and are ready to present you with a new material – “DSM” (Jul-27, 2010), which is co-produced and mastered by Vasi Vallis (Frozen Plasma, Reaper, NamNambulu). “DSM” is a full electro record, featureing 10 tracks plus 3 remixes from Cellmond, Suicidal Romance and Distatix.

This time AD INFERNA employ a much more industrial and aggressive musical edge, compared to their previous album, where the listener could find an electro-EBM vibe with metal influences, backed by guitars and female vocals. 4/4 beats, repetitive sequencer lines, clean vocals with reverb or echo effects – are all elements that make up a typical industrial landscape. The female vocals, so far gothic metal type, are served this time in a much sexier mix.

Ad Inferna: Band Bio

AD INFERNA combines different styles like industrial, metal, gothic and electro to a completely new style. Their sound is not comparable to any other band I’ve heard so far. They created their own genre – Intelligent, melodic and powerful music with beautiful female vocals. They combine the future of industrial, the future of electro, the future of goth-metal to something we have to find a new description for….”

 

Vasi Vallis (REAPER, FROZEN PLASMA, VNV NATION)

 

 

AD INFERNA (Latin: from hell), presently consisting of V. Orias A. (Guitar, Keyboard, Effects) and V.V. Arkames (Voice), formed in France, in 1996, under the name of De Profundis, but in 2000 they changed to AD INFERNA due to the existence of other projects with the same name.

tenek on the wire

Watch out on September 06, 2010 for Toffeetones Records’ release of tenek’s new album: ‘On the Wire’.

Confirming a long-term relationship between house and band, following two EP’s, two singles and one album, the UK duo’s new album is going to sweep you off your both feet. The Nine/Mesh’s Geoff Pinckney and Pete Steer bring you a coherent and plausible eleven-track new album this fall, which most certainly should attract the attention of synthpop and actually all electronica aficionados.
