Complete Control Productions sign with Arzt+Pfusch

Mattias Anger, Label Manager/Complete Control Productions: “I’m happy to inform you that Complete Control Productions have signed the Danish duo Arzt+Pfusch. Since their last release S.I.C.K. in 2007, Dr. A-Funz has been re-joined by Der Doktor as lyricist and singer. They have spent the last two years working on their fourth album “Lictor Evaporated”, which will be released by CCP in late September. A single will be out during the summer. The album is described by Dr. A-Funz as: “Dark, bombastic, orchestral, 4×4 on the floor, long ambient breaks, very “bassline centered”, and very poppy choruses. I extend a warm welcome to Arzt+Pfusch on behalf of the entire label crew.

ohGr new album “unDeveloped” out May-10!

After forging a legendary career as the frontman for the seminal industrial pioneers Skinny Puppy, Ogre, a name synonymous with dark electronica, started his solo project in 2001 with collaborator/producer Mark Walk. Under the moniker ohGr, the duo has been creating a challenging, innovative, and ever-evolving brand of music. As with the three previous studio albums, “Welt” (2001), “SunnyPsyOp” (2003), and “Devils in my Details” (2008), the new album “unDeveloped” once again finds Ogre exploring varied sonic landscapes. Weaving his signature menacing vocals with haunting atmospherics, electronic modulations, guitar blasts, and addictive hooks, Undeveloped shows ohGr at its creative best. It could be due to his expanded creative outlets; Recently Ogre has been acting (appearing as Pavi Largo in the rock opera film “Repo! The Genetic Opera“, as well as Harper Alexander in Tim Sullivan’s new comedy-horror film entitled 2001 “Maniacs: Field of Screams“). It could be another high point in an already illustrious musical career. It could be another destructive outpouring of artistic beauty from brilliant madmen. With “Undeveloped“, it is all these things, and more.  (source)
