*****THIS
WEEK'S MUST-HAVE RELEASE
!
ALICE
IN
VIDEOLAND "SHE'S A MACHINE -
LIMITED (BONUS TRACKS)"
EXCLUSIVE BUTTONS, A
FREE TRACK DOWNLOAD, 3 BONUS TRACKS,
AND MORE!!
One of Sweden’s absolutely
finest bands when it comes to hard electronic pop are finally back again
with
the brand new album She’s a Machine. This time with a harder sound,
developed
around synthetic and organic instruments, less guitars, more
edge, more
beat and better than ever!! Alice In Videoland once again prove that their
unique combination of crossover punk-rock-electronica, saturated with fine
melodic harmonies and pop choruses
stands tall, without any competition. The attitude and bombast in Toril’s
lead vocals is one
of a kind, and this album will surely bring down the house
wherever, whenever played.
The album opens with blasting bass on the title track She’s
a Machine, and Toril let’s you know right away what the score is as she
chants
“you wouldn’t want to wait up for her…” And she’s right! The energy is
relentless as the album progresses through instant hits MF, the new single
Numb,
and the playful Who’s That Boy. Toril gets down and dirty on Weird Desire,
and
the album ends
with three
bonus tracks not available on the digital version: Open Your Eyes, Numb
(Single
Edit), and We Are Rebels (Single Edit). Fans of Alice in Videoland will
be rocked hard by the new album and newbies should be prepared to be
knocked
over by one of the coolest acts on the scene today. Released
on Artoffact Records.

PUNTO OMEGA "NOCHE
OSCURA
DEL
ALMA"
The Argentinian electro-heroes
PUNTO OMEGA celebrate the dark night of the soul. In tormentingly
fatalistic
songs, delivered in aggressive Spanish, they follow the path of those upon
the
eternal search for truth and freedom. This path is lined with crises,
conflict,
humiliation and manipulation. ‘Noche Oscura del Alma’ (The Dark Night of
the
Soul) is the moment of the absolute nadir, from which one emerges
strengthened.
Only afterwards is one able to find his or her true identity. The music of
the
exotic dark-electro duo is stamped through with this existentialism and
deliberately confronts the gentle listener with a merciless strength:
lashing,
razor-sharp beats raining down, industrial-inspired noise, catchy keyboard
passages and the demonic vocals create an unforgettable mixture which no
fan of
the genre will be able to resist. PUNTO OMEGA move between HOCICO und
WUMPSCUT
and the epic atmospherics of VNV NATION but yet offer more: a whole range
of
dancefloor-compatible hits and occasional hints of martial bombast and
sinister
atmospherics. Even neo-classical elements and acoustic guitars can be
heard.
With their album ‘Noche Oscura del Alma’ the new Latin American
forerunners of
hard electronic anthems set forth their dark philosophy, in which each
true
seeker may recognise themselves. Stirring electronics, every once in a
while
stamped with a dreadful coldness, but at the same time passionately and
seductively monumental. A long yearned-for inferno, after which the
rebirth will
unquestionably follow. Released on Trisol and available January 25th,
2009.

OSTARA
"THE
ONLY
SOLACE"
The callers in the storm are back. After two excursions
into the field of alternative guitar rock, the British-Australian
formation
around Richard Levy has remembered its true strengths and with 'The Only
Solace'
has produced a breath takingly beautiful neofolk album which catapults
OSTARA
right back to the spearhead of the genre. Fatalistic lyrics full of
abysmal
thoughts, executed with sensitive vocals, carried by captivating melodies
and
crystal clear acoustic guitar accords. Far removed from cheap effect and
unreflected symbolic games, OSTARA creates a magical animist world under
the
spell of a tragic past and faced with an uncertain future. In their
mystical
world view they penetrate time and open the view for unforeseen
connectivities.
In this context many lyrics are revealed as traps, and mundane experiences
take
a cruel twist. Levy's lyrics surround the listener with comforting
atmospheres
and metaphors, a quality that is unique in the area of neofolk, just to
awake
the listener in an ungentle manner from sleep to reason. Our buildings are
already ruins. When the rustle of the masses turns into noise, the cry of
the
individual appears like a tentative murmur in the wind. Hardly any other
band
understands how to express the silent tragic and heroic of the awakened
individual so powerfully. And OSTARA deserves to be listened to. Released
on
Trisol and available January 25th, 2009.

PILORI "UNTIL
THE
DAY
DAWN"
PILORI are back! Many years ago, the charismatic band from
Seligenstadt, Germany established themselves across genres with their
unique
ethereal style of folk and cast a spell over gothic, neo-classical and
neofolk
audiences alike. With ‘Until The Day Dawn’, PILORI present the high point
of
their career so far. A complex work, steeped in dense atmospheres, catchy
melodies, ritualistic rhythms and above all the beautiful female vocals
which
have always placed the band in a league of their own. On ‘Until The Day
Dawn’,
the acoustic elements are balanced out with some emphasis on electronic
sounds
and indeed poppy passages without ever being untrue to their own style. An
ascent into the spheres of dreams, deliberately clouded by the frequencies
of a
world in decline. Ethereal, sacral romanticism meets dark nihilism. With
elegiac
viola melodies and sorrowful male vocals, one is reminded of the glory
years of
CURRENT 93. With clear-as-glass ethereal vocals, singer Marion reminds one
of
the bygone era of heavenly voices. But PILORI create their own world from
nature
mysticism and a sceptical questioning of the world around them. With
‘Until The
Day Dawn’, PILORI present the sum total of their career, performed with
multilingual lyrics in German, English, French and Hebrew and with
melancholy
guitar chords, lamentful strings, well-dispensed percussion and seductive
keyboard melodies. From melancholy neofolk (‘The Icononclast’) to
neo-classical
(‘Fallen Angels Chois’), ritual music (‘Last Wolf’s Howling’) up to 1980s
new
wave music (‘Love’s Labour Lost’) innumerable influences can be found
here.
‘Until The Day Dawn’ finally proves PILORI’s unique
status in the German alternative music scene. Released on Trisol and
available January 25th, 2009.
