PAIL return with the third album “Faith in the Void”

Filed under: International News — Tags: fla, hocico, leather strip, may 2011, mentallo & the fixer, new album, numb, pail, skinny puppy, vac, x-marks the pedwalk — admin @ 11:00 am

CAUSTIC RECORDS presents “Faith In The Void” – the third album from PAIL, and a truly EBM piece of work of the 90’s.

Order now!

The album echoes of big names like FLA, X-Marks the Pedwalk, NUMB, Hocico, Mentallo & The Fixer, Leather Strip, VAC or Skinny Puppy, all mixed with the distinctive and personal style that PAIL has been promoting since the beginning of their journey in 1998.

“Faith In The Void” is a Molotov cocktail in both structure and content, solid with a fighting spirit and very critical of the economic, social, political and religious structures that form our modern society. (more…)

ohGr new album “unDeveloped” out May-10!

Filed under: International News — Tags: 2011, album release, international news, may, new album, new release, ogre, ohgr, skinny puppy — admin @ 9:34 am

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)

Amphi Festival 2010 review: Day 1

Filed under: International Events (Reviews) — Tags: amphi festival, and one, anne clark, ashbury heights, asp, blackfield festival, blutengel, combichrist, concert, cruxshadows, darkwave, destroid, din a tod, eisbrecher, electro, end of green, faderhead, festival, festival in romania, funker vogt, goth, industrial, letzte instanz, lyrics, mainstange, miss construction, nachtmahr, patenbrigar, project pitchfork, samas traum, skinny puppy, solitary experiments, staatenhaus, travis, welle: erdball, zin — admin @ 8:37 am

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.

Dear Amphi fans,

Thank you for a fantastic weekend at the Tanzbrunnen, Cologne! Sold out for the second time in the six year history of the festival, 16.000 visitors from Germany and countries worldwide gathered in Cologne on 24. & 25. July 2010, to have a peaceful celebration in high spirits with 37 artists on three stages.

While And One and VNV Nation inspired the audience as headliners on the main stage, the “Staatenhaus” presented a true summit of the industrial- and electrolegends, featuring Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly and Project Pitchfork. Further ASP, Eisbrecher, Blutengel, Combichrist and many other Top Acts of the scene enthralled the audience with outstanding performances. Each day at noon the “Theater am Tanzbrunnen” opened with interesting talks, readings, musical comedy, film screenings and much more, before the party-area took command of the evening with more than 20 DJ´s from all over the world.

As you know, after the festival is before the festival. Like every year, you have the opportunity again to take part in our online visitor poll regarding the Amphi Festival 2010 and to win 5×2 VIP Tickets for the Amphi Festival 2011. Your opinions, wishes and suggestions are very important for us and help us to further improve the Amphi Festival in the future. Thus we would be glad for your participation.

The first band confirmations will be announced soon, while ticket pre-order already commenced. As always, original tickets can exclusively be obtained at the Amphi Shop on http://www.amphi-festival.de/tickets.html . For a short time you will find the popular 5+1 group tickets there as well.
