7 June 2024
PRAISE FOR PSYCHIC GRAVEYARD:
This guy’s solipsistic, overly literal, his mind orbiting another planet, the mix unevenly doubling his inner monologues: ‘What do I wear to your funeral / When we were together, I never wore clothes.’ Synth player Nathan Joyner, guitarist Paul Vieira, and drummer Charles Ovett all up the psychodrama by savage degrees, leading off with a grinding, foghorn dirge that eventually expands into a punishing industrial hailstorm.” – SPIN“‘Patently obnoxious,’ ‘willfully obtuse’ and ‘pleasantly on point‘” – Alternative Press

It makes sense that the nutjobs behind such a work of deranged genius would come from bands including Arab on Radar, Doomsday Student and Some Girls.” – Revolver Magazine

Psychic Graveyard, comprised of the minds of groups like Arab On Radar, Chinese Stars, Doomsday Student, Some Girls and All Leather, will release a brand new LP entitled Wilting on June 7th via Artoffact Records.

‘This Butthole Surfers bass guitar sounds awesome! Let’s put some synth and bass guitar together.’ That was the main impetus for creating this song—the craving for a fuzzed-out bass guitar. Over the years, we’ve realized that our songs are birthed in pairs. “Your Smile is a Hoax” is the sister to another Psychic Graveyard track off this upcoming album called “Haunted By Your Bloodline”. Both feature the use of two low-register instruments playing off of each other, with a higher synth note popping obnoxiously out of the mix. We feel as though it helps keep the chaos grounded. Those higher swirl elements come from a forgotten field recording of an ambulance passing by Nate’s house in San Diego. Lyrically, it fills in the listener on some of our experiences as an afflicted band in today’s world, traveling all over the place while we’re wounded, but somehow having a blast while we’re out there—bleeding everywhere.“

MORE ABOUT PSYCHIC GRAVEYARD:
Simply checking the pedigrees (ex-Arab On Radar, Chinese Stars, Some Girls, Doomsday Student, and Hot Nerdz) will only get you so far with Psychic Graveyard. With a manic output of four full-length albums—Loud As Laughter, A Bluebird Vacation, Veins Feel Strange, and now the brilliant Wilting–in nearly as many years, Psychic Graveyard makes consistently thrilling and unsettled sonic artifacts for a world emptied out and flattened by a joyless and sociopathic mediascape. But some things do stay consistent across their ruptured anti-aesthetic: Charles Ovett’s relentless workflow on the drums; the burbling sawtooth substructures, grimy lead synths, and deconstructed guitars supplied by Nathan Joyner and Paul Vieira; and, of course, vocalist Eric Paul’s many narrators and personas, who find form as ghosts howling from within the machine or as agitated surrealists living lives huddled in the grimmest of redoubts. On the new LP Wilting, once again a product of geographic dispersion (Providence and San Diego), the band invites the listener to peel back the pedigrees and fall headlong into their twitchy waking dream.

Taiwanese Industrial Powerhouses ANGER 奰 and HEXEN PROZESS Unleash ‘The Purge’: A Sonic Exploration of Modern-Day Witch Hunts

Taiwanese industrial force ANGER 奰 and HEXEN PROZESS unite in a powerful collaboration with their latest single, ‘The Purge,’ shedding light on contemporary witch hunts.

“Thou shall not negate the word of the lord.”

Scheduled for release on January 19th at 8:00 PM (GMT+8), The Purge is an unapologetically electronic track, boldly embracing punk influences both musically and lyrically. The song challenges the justification of ruining lives in the name of ideology, questioning whether such actions are a facade for hidden motives.

In the joint effort, ANGER 奰, led by its sole member BW, joins forces with John Gerteisen, the mind behind DIE SEKTOR classics like Deathkill and The Beating of Broken Wings (currently of HEXEN PROZESS). This collaboration aims to explore the dangerous intersection of noble causes, influence-building, and the potential for persecution masked behind a virtuous facade.

BW, the creative force behind ANGER 奰, expressed the inspiration behind the song, noting the exploitation of noble causes to establish influence and power. The Purge critically examines the contemporary landscape where individuals or entities can manipulate public sentiment to persecute, blackmail, or eliminate opponents, all while hiding behind a wall of perceived virtue.

The Purge is now available on Bandcamp, offering listeners a sonic exploration of these complex themes.

Looking ahead, ANGER 奰 and HEXEN PROZESS will reunite on the Outer Darkness: Inquisition Vol. 1 compilation, set for an early 2024 release on HEXEN PROZESS’s label, Outer Darkness Records (join ODR Discord for updates).

Follow ANGER 奰 on Bandcamp for future updates and delve into the electronic mayhem crafted by this one-man industrial project based in Taichung, Taiwan. Founded in late 2022 by BW, ANGER 奰 has made waves with releases like Cyberanarchia (Single), The End is Nigh (Single), and the recently released The Purge (Single). Anticipate the debut EP, Refutation of All Heresies, slated for March 15th, 2024, and the first full-length album, Grandiose Delusions, expected in Q3 2024.

Weird Wolves Unleash Darkly Resonant Single “A Lovely Day” — A Sonic Journey Through Destructive Love

Release Date: January 11, 2024

Weird Wolves, the dynamic US power duo featuring the distinct talents of Ava Gore and Raphael Colantonio, has dropped their latest single, “A Lovely Day,” available for streaming here. Produced by Matt Piersall (Choose Hellth), the track, a rock creation by Raphael, incorporates industrial elements, offering an edgy sound with dark yet profound lyrics. Exploring the theme of destructive love, the song delves into why some individuals are drawn to it due to their familiarity with pain from a young age. Despite the dark subject matter, the track also provides a ray of hope, encouraging listeners to heal and grow from their experiences, recognizing life as a journey of healing.

Weird Wolves made a remarkable European debut at the Glass Danse Festival, sharing the stage with renowned acts like GusGus from Iceland and Canada’s Austra.

WEIRD WOLVES – Neue Single “A Lovely Day” veröffentlicht!

Das US-amerikanische Power-Duo Weird Wolves, bestehend aus den talentierten Musikern Ava Gore und Raphael Colantonio, stammt aus der pulsierenden Alt-Rock- und Electro-Szene und präsentiert ihre neueste Single “A Lovely Day”. Der Song markiert einen weiteren Schritt in der sich schnell entwickelnden Karriere der Band und kann jetzt hier gestreamt werden.

“A Lovely Day” ist ein Rocksong aus der Feder von Raphael, produziert von Matt Piersall (Choose Hellth), der dem Track sein Industrial-Flair verleiht. Weird Wolves reflektieren über den Track: “Fans von Post Punk werden den kantigen Sound und die düsteren Lyrics genießen. Der Song erforscht das Thema der zerstörerischen Liebe und wie manche Menschen von ihr angezogen werden, weil sie seit ihrer Jugend mit Schmerz vertraut sind. Der Song bietet jedoch auch einen Hoffnungsschimmer, denn er ermutigt die Zuhörer, zu heilen und an ihren Erfahrungen zu wachsen. Schließlich ist das Leben für viele von uns eine heilsame Reise.”

Die Band lieferte erst kürzlich ihr Europa-Livedebüt beim Glass Danse Festival und teilte sich die Bühne mit Ikonen wie GusGus aus Island und den Kanadiern Austra.

Embrace the Sonic Odyssey: Lucia Cifarelli Unveils Musical Alchemy; KMFDM Drops ‘LET GO’ Album Today (01.13.24)!

My name is Lucia Cifarelli. I’m a solo recording artist and the female vocalist/songwriter in the band KMFDM. My most recent solo album “I Am Eye” was released in 2021. KMFDM’s most recent album HYËNA was released in 2022. KMFDM is made up of like-minded artists/musicians promoting ideas surrounding freedom of thought and expression. My solo work allows me to explore deeply personal subject matter related to my life and stories I want to tell.

Watching MTV in its early days had a major impact on me. Being a rockstar looked like the most awesome job on the planet. Almost everything I heard on the radio or watched on MTV was pulling on me in some way, even if I didn’t like the song or style. I wanted to learn how to write songs, sing, and command a stage. Listening to music has always been an escape for me, helping me slip out of the world I was living in.

Regarding the name for my solo project, I started with just my first name, but as more Lucia’s arrived on the scene, I switched to using my full name. It suggests that the music is more personal, with the emphasis on my voice and the stories I’m telling.

I’m inspired by various musical genres, as well as life, film, literature, poetry, and art. It all influences the voicing and textures of music I’m looking to hear and feel. I hope it’s my songwriting and vocal style that set me apart.

My creative process involves what I call ‘the door,’ representing the place I pass through to get to where the magic happens. I see colors, letters, floating puzzle pieces, pictures, movies, and hear notes and melodies. The songs get written here. The door is always there, following me wherever I go.

A significant turning point for me was watching Diamanda Galas perform ‘Plague Mass’ in NYC in the ’90s. The raw feral intensity of her performance shook me to the core. It inspired me to write more from the heart and less about what I thought people wanted to hear.

Collaboration for me involves working with musicians focused more on the music side, highlighting our mutual strengths. Navigating creative differences comes down to clear communication and open-mindedness.

I view my day as a pie, with each piece representing the energy needed for specific tasks. I focus on one project per day to avoid mental saturation. Taking on too many projects creates counterproductive stress.

One of the most challenging hurdles has been making albums with major record labels that were never released. It’s heartbreaking, but if you love what you do, you don’t really have a choice. Resilience is crucial in this business.

Music has the power to bring about change on both a personal and collective level. With KMFDM, we’ve been a catalyst for many people to register to vote. Music is transformative and can move mountains.

My voice is my primary instrument. I played violin when I was younger, but the voice, coming directly from the body, is the most powerful instrument. It contributes to my overall musical expression and style.

It’s not a particular sound but the attitude of certain musicians/artists that has influenced me. Ideas about what it means to be a rockstar, how it looks, and a bigger-than-life presence shape how I do things on stage and in the studio.

There are no intentional hidden messages, but I use a lot of metaphors. I like to use words like an artist uses paint, mixing things up, and playing on words. It’s about looking at something from a different perspective.

The most rewarding aspect is the connection the music forges with people worldwide, who reach out and share what it means to them. Challenges and sacrifices are inevitable, but pursuing a career in music, especially now, offers more access than ever before.

I’ve written a song to raise money for The Conscious Kid and Color Of Change after George Floyd’s murder. I plan to get more involved with charities supporting women and their human right to autonomy over their bodies.

My long-term goal is to keep creating music with KMFDM and on my own, touring internationally, and playing more festivals. Authenticity is more important than trends.

My collaboration with Julian Beeston for his “Featured” project will be released in July. I’m also writing for the new KMFDM album and working on songs for a possible solo album. For updates, you can follow me on Instagram and visit the KMFDM website.

Evolving Sounds: The Browning’s Sonic Alchemy – Unveiling the Fusion of Metal and EDM; A Journey from MySpace to the World Stage”


Evol Radio presents: A Darkside Interview with The Browning
(Original Air Date 01.01.24)

Welcome to Evol Radio, where the beats resonate with a unique fusion of electronic dance music (EDM) and metal, curated by none other than The Browning. If you’ve been following this sonic journey since 2017 or discovered The Browning through the intense sounds of The Browning’s debut on MySpace back in 2005, you’re in for a treat. Strap in as we delve into the mind of The Browning’s creator and unravel the evolution of this dark and dynamic musical force.

The Browning, a solo project initiated in 2005, emerged from the depths of MySpace with a vision to blend the hardest, heaviest elements of electronic dance music with the raw power of metal. The brain behind the beats, our artist, began this sonic venture influenced by DDR, Hatebreed, and a monomer, creating a sound that would later define the genre known as hardstyle dance music. Fast forward to 2010, and The Browning transformed into a full band, signing deals and touring globally.

Exploring the unique intersection of EDM and metal, The Browning set out to distinguish itself from the pack. While electronic music wasn’t a constant in the artist’s daily playlist, specific aspects of EDM caught their ear. The goal was clear: take the best parts of hardstyle, merge them with the finest elements of metal, and forge a sound that stood as a testament to their innovation. The Browning wasn’t just about incorporating synthesizers; it was about crafting an experience, an energy that would captivate audiences globally.

In a musical landscape where genres often dictate fan preferences, The Browning faced the challenge of introducing synthesizers to a metal audience. The struggle to strike a balance between the darkness of metal and the energy of electronic beats led to a continuous evolution in their sound. The synthesis of these seemingly disparate elements became the signature style that defines The Browning today.

The name “The Browning” itself emerged from a creepy road trip scenario, where the artist envisioned a horror movie set on Browning Road. It stuck, perhaps because of its oddity, but over the years, it became a brand that would stand out in the crowded music scene. Despite some reservations about the name, The Browning’s distinctive sound and captivating artwork have solidified its identity.

The journey wasn’t without its challenges. As The Browning ventured into live performances, the need to translate the studio’s intricate electronic sounds to a stage setting became apparent. The live experience became a catalyst for refining the balance between synthesizers and traditional instruments, ensuring that the raw, unbridled energy fans loved about their shows was accurately captured in the studio recordings.

As The Browning continues to evolve, adapting and fine-tuning their sound, the focus remains on delivering an experience that transcends genres. The recent releases, including “End of Existence” and upcoming tracks, reflect a maturation of style—a seamless blend of electronic complexity and metal intensity.

In the realm of The Browning, the creative process is a constant stream of melodies and breakdowns playing in the artist’s mind. Whether inspired while grocery shopping or working overnight shifts, each song begins as a mental composition, a melody, or a breakdown pattern. The intricate layers and attention to detail are evident in the 189-layer files that make up their latest creations.

So, what’s next for The Browning? With a commitment to live up to the expectations of both electronic and metal enthusiasts, the journey continues. As The Browning steps into the future, it’s not just about defying genre norms; it’s about creating a sonic experience that resonates with fans old and new, proving that the evolution of sound knows no boundaries.

Stay tuned to Evol Radio for more from The Browning, a testament to the transformative power of music that transcends the limits of love and light.

“Kirlian Camera Unveils Enigmatic Single ‘Il Tempo Profondo’ as Prelude to ‘Radio Signals for the Dying'”

KIRLIAN CAMERA, the avant-garde musical innovators, are offering a tantalizing preview of their highly anticipated album, ‘Radio Signals for the Dying.’ This sneak peek comes in the form of the single “Il Tempo Profondo (Radio Signal Version)” and its visually immersive counterpart, the video for “Il Tempo Profondo (Dark Psychedelia Vision).” Lead vocalist Elena Alice Fossi guides us into the profound concept of ‘deep time,’ portraying it as the expansive temporal dimension where humanity is intricately interwoven with Earth and geological forces.

In her insightful commentary, Fossi delves into the intricate layers of this concept, highlighting it as the vast canvas upon which human experience unfolds. The focus is on liberation from the cyclic patterns of existence, a wheel perpetuated by the self-centered desires of humanity. Within this framework, “Il Tempo Profondo” becomes more than a song; it emerges as a sonic exploration of the human condition, grappling with notions of hatred, craving, and delusion that persist within the intricate tapestry of existence.

This single, “Il Tempo Profondo,” is not just a standalone release but the herald of a larger musical narrative. It stands as the lead track from the much-anticipated double album, “Radio Signals for the Dying.” For eager listeners, this transformative musical journey is available for pre-order on CD and limited vinyl through Dependent Records. The album is poised for a grand unveiling on February 23rd, 2024, promising an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional musical expression.

As KIRLIAN CAMERA continues to push the boundaries of sonic artistry, “Il Tempo Profondo” beckons listeners to embark on a unique odyssey, exploring the depths of time and the human psyche.

With this release, KIRLIAN CAMERA once again establishes themselves as pioneers of avant-garde sound, inviting audiences to step beyond the ordinary into a realm of musical transcendence.

Embark on a Sonic Odyssey: The Adelaidean’s Ambient Exploration ‘Going Home the Long Way Around’

The Adelaidean invites you on a sonic exploration with “Going Home the Long Way Around.” This ambient masterpiece, available as a Name-Your-Price download on Bandcamp, is a collection drawn from seven of The Adelaidean’s nine Projekt albums. To enrich the musical journey, two non-Projekt tracks are added, broadening the spectrum of this ambient experience.

The music delves into the still places of the living mind, capturing the ebbs and flows of mood, thought, and memory that weave the tapestry of human experience. The layered quality of the music is enhanced by archival textures, including avant-garde experiments from the artist’s teenage years in the 1980s and recordings by jazz pianist father-in-law Ted Nettelbeck. Collaborations with artists like Sam Rosenthal, Deepspace (Mirko Ruckels), and stepson Xander Monteath contribute to the rich, multi-dimensional nature of the compositions, complemented by the evocative cover art of Thom Buchanan.

Critics describe the work as “stark, extreme, and beautiful,” offering a “unique sonic experience.” Mark Frauenfelder of Boing Boing finds it a “blessed escape hatch to a distant present,” and Dave Aftandilian on Bandcamp likens the journey to “floating in the midst of eternity, gentle currents carrying me toward an unseen destination.”

The tracklist features remastered classics and collaborations, including the mesmerizing “Going Home the Long Way Around” with Xander Monteath, the atmospheric “Under the Bright Cuernavaca Sky” with Sam Rosenthal, and the ethereal “I Spelled My Name but the Wind Forgot” with Deepspace.

TheAdelaidean, alias Sean Williams, is not only a prolific musician but also an award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author and Discipline Lead of Creative Writing at Flinders University, South Australia. In addition to his work with Projekt Records, he has independently released music under “theAdelaidean” and his real name for various creative projects, including exhibitions, film scores, and stage productions.

Don’t miss this opportunity to embark on a musical journey; the album is available as a Name-Your-Price download on Bandcamp. Your contribution, even as little as a dollar, ensures the album becomes part of your Bandcamp collection, ready for streaming and download. Choose zero if you wish to download without adding to your collection. Dive into the rich ambient landscapes of TheAdelaidean and let the music transport you.

“The Halo Trees Join Forces with COP International, Unveiling Deep Dark Indie Rock Soundscape”

The Halo Trees “Dark Clouds Over London” (Official Video)

The renowned US indie label COP International (Stabbing Westward, The Cassandra Complex, Beasto Blanco etc.) recently signed the Berlin band The Halo Trees.
The group around singer/guitarist Sascha Blach describes their music as Deep Dark Indie Rock, which includes elements of Post-Punk, Indie Rock and Post-Rock.

The dark Rock sound is characterized by complex arrangements in which the violin also has a fixed place, as well as the frontman’s deep melancholic vocals. In the past, The Halo Trees have been repeatedly compared to bands like The National, Lambchop and Mark Lanegan. After the outfit recently released a few singles on their own such as “Mr. Abundance” or “The Beginning Of Something Beautiful”, the next record “Where The Deep Ends” will be released in spring 2024 worldwide via COP International. The band promises an introspective headphone album with a warm, organic sound that contains lots of little details. The record release will be preceded by the first single and music video still this year.

Christian Petke, label boss of COP International, says about the signing: “I am genuinely thrilled to join forces with The Halo Trees. Their music exudes an introverted, deep, and intensely quiet post-punk vibe that resonated with me on a profound level. Sascha Blach, a truly prolific songwriter, has crafted something extraordinary, and I’m eagerly anticipating the moment we can unveil their incredible new music to the world.”

Sascha Blach from The Halo Trees is pleased: “I know COP International still from the first incarnation of the label and have therefore been following Christian’s work from afar for a long time. I think it’s great that he has revitalized the label and is now expanding musically. In our conversations he proved to be a great idealist and a very likeable person. I see it as a good sign that our first Zoom call lasted over 2.5 hours. So I’m looking forward to what I hope will be a long-term collaboration and I hope we as a band can take the next step.”
