CD Tyske Ludder "Dalmarnock (+ bonus)"
(Black Rain / BR 039)

"Dalmarnock" was the second album by Tyske Ludder released in 1995. It was a straight forward sequel of harsh Tyske Ludder sound. Again, the band claims human deficiency and doesn't hold back biting criticism. Provoking and impulsive - Oldschool EBM at its best.

"Bombt die Mörder?" was the 1994 debut of Tyske Ludder and is now being re-released. The CD is now completely remastered and some bonus was added. Thematically, the album deals with the riots in ex-Yugoslavia then.Today, "Bombt die Mörder" can be considered as standard in each good Oldschool-EBM collection. "Energie" and "Bartholomäus" became cult tracks over the years.

CD Reliquary "Winter World"
(Black Rain / BR 037)

"Winter World" is the debut of RELIQUARY, a band located in Phoenix/Arizona. They had a lot of influences from genres like Gothic Rock, Classic, Dark Wave and Industrial. On this CD the band managed to add some new, modern aspects to the genre of Gothic Rock. Driving guitars combined with a leading bass guitar and a great soprano voice accompanied by Synths, violins and drums unite to present you complex songs which will take you away on a trip through your dreams. RELIQUARY was founded as solo project by Loki in 1997. Later, Suriel and Kara completed the band. Especially this band line up made RELIQUARY quite famous since the band has already supported Faith and the Muse, Bella Morte, The Last Dance and The Crüxshadows.

CD Jesus and the Gurus "King ov Salo"
(Black Rain / BR 036)

The Swiss band JESUS AND THE GURUS not only became popular for their provoking appearance but also for their cynical and critical point of view. Their new CD "King ov Salò" is a new bunch of harsh criticism and hard hitting cynicism against mankind. JESUS AND THE GURUS question and research power in every respect - political, sexual, physical and psychological power, and this even goes along with criticising your own existence. And our protagonists know that this can get a painful and complicated thing. "King ov Salò" is an interesting and demanding mixture of Gothic Rock, Neofolk, Electronics and even Gothic Metal. This makes the album being a melancholic, harsh and even rebellious CD that always sounds like something new but never lets you forget that it is a "JESUS AND THE GURUS" release. Acoustic guitars, monumental synthies mix with slow and harsh guitar riffs, drums and "Son ov David's" melodic voice will let you draw comparisons to Ministry, Laibach and Death in June. This is an album that goes under your skin, touches your soul, entertains you and maybe it will provide you with some answers you were looking for.

track list:
01. Deep Inside / 02. The end is Near / 03. The song is the Weapon / 04. The others / 05. March to Hell / 06. Hail Satan / 07. Storm of Steel / 08. Frozen Eyes / 09. Praise the Lord / 10. Dance of Fire / 11. We just Fight / 12. Holy Town / 13. Leiche Otto / 14. Sometimes / 15. Dust to Dust

 

 

CD Dandelion Wine "An Inexact Science"
(Ars Musica Diffundere / AMD 011)

Sophamore album for this Melbourne outfit that combine medieval and Middle Eastern instruments with electronic beats, female vocals and swirling guitars. Crowd favourites within this countrys growing goth/industrial scene, these recordings were honed whilst the band recently toured across seven European countries and range from beautifully delicate passages to dance inducing grooves.

track list:
01. Stable / 02. Found / 03. Muscle Memory / 04. Malphacyte / 05. Tulip Eyes / 06. Black Glitter / 07. Starry Messenger / 08. Little Pieces I / 09. Little Pieces II / 10. For The Next Time The Whole World Floods With Tears

 

 

CD Amateur God "Xenofeelia"
(Black Rain / BR 035)

"We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe." [Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]
In 2004 the Slovenian band Amateur God surprised the listeners with their dark and deep album "Around the corners of our minds". Irony was always a guiding star for Amateur God's concept and inspiration, based upon ridiculous human nature and senseless fights against it. Amateur God's albums are a deep trip into the mind. Although Amateur God's music stands on solid pillars of melancholic industrial, my musical preferences come mostly from contemporary pop/rock acts that in most cases deviate from commercial orientation. Complex structures, harmonies broken through experimantal sounds, a filigree femal voice conquer a new space outside the GothicPop mainstream culture! This is avantgarde! The CD contains also the exclusive video clip of the track "Chenges".

track list:
01. Garden of Sanity / 02. Deep Cleanse / 03. Changes / 04. Long Dead Autumn / 05. Last Winter / 06. Pictures of Me / 07. Miss Fortune / 08. Spring That Always Comes To Early / 09. A Lame Slave / + Video "Changes"

IWR is a duo, and the first outing was created using the talents of Maor Appelbaum (Vocals, bass guitars, synths, noises & effects , programming), who also did the production, engineering and mixing. Along with long time friend Tal Galfsky (keyboards, synths, samples and programming), together they formed a new force in the darkwave/EBM scene, Adding the angelic female vocals of Jasmin Vodonos,the furious drum programing of Oz_Vult & Tom Davidov and other artist contributions to part of the songs. An immediate favorite of dark-wave and Goth fans alike, the band was featured in several compilation albums worldwide, and also received extensive club play, due to its catchiness and immediate melodies.

CD Vigilante "The Heroes' Code"
(Black Rain / BR 025)

Vigilante from Chile offers danceable and hard EBM in the same class as Hocico, Feindflug or the most electronic Die Krupps tracks. The incredibly dense and always danceable electro-hymns on 'The Heroes' Code' are predestined for frequent heavy club play! Formed 5 years ago in a country that - so far - was not very famous for harsh EBM Electro, Vigilante had in mind to conquer Europe with their sound straight from the beginning. Jürgen Engler (of Die Krupps) said about Vigilante: "On the dancefloors Vigilante will be a serious threat to even the biggest names in Industrial music, with their enormous grooves and heartfelt lyrics. This album is a powerful statement!" Expect nothing less than the most powerful electro sound you can imagine!

CD-EP Feindflug "Sterbehilfe"
(Black Rain / BR 008)

After running the gauntlet refering to sound editing and graphic arts this cd was released simultaneously with the Feindflug performance at "Wave-Gothic-Treffen" in 2000. You surely will notice the ambiguity of the title of the record because the meaning of "Sterbehilfe EP" is serious and cynical at the same time!! The CD deals with the topic of killing and being killed while the death penalty of our American friends is the thematic center. Two tracks form the junction to the first Feindflug album but also seen from the angle of dying. And as always Feindflug remain straight on collision course with moral standards as their stuff is dynamite due to its equivocal nature. Consider the title "EP" as wrong description for there are 7 tracks and a run of 45 minutes though.

track list:
01. 2000 Volt / 02. Tötungsmaschine Mensch / 03. Erinnerung / 04. Bluthandwerk / 05. B66883 / 06. Vollstreckung / 07. Roter Schnee

CD Feindflug "Feindflug [4.V.]"
(Black Rain / BR 001)

Due to several problems of our cd pressing plant with the producer of the digipak the re-release of the 1997 Feindflug cd was not released until five weeks after the "Wave-Gothic-Treffen" in 1999. The re-release of the complete work was really compelling, because the project Feindflug extremely came under fire. And this is quite astonishing because most of these people have hardly or never heard something of Feindflug's stuff. The rumour factory is kept alive by loads of misleading information and misinterpretations. The lack of quite usual cerebral activities of the majority of our contemporaries is really frightening... The historical and nearly chronological cycle "Feindflug [Vierte Version]" should really be heard as a whole in order to enjoy the closing samples that always have been there. This re-release has consciously been published by Black Rain, although there have been many other offers; otherwise it would have been impossible to use the 95%-original, eight-page booklet. But this would have been contradictory to the symbiosis of music, song titles, samples and pictures, and the members of the project could not have accepted this. Compared to the first three limited editions (30+30+100) "Feindflug [Vierte Version]" comes up with two new tracks in exchange.

track list:
01. Intro / 02. Feindflug / 03. Alptraum / 04. Machtwechsel / 05. Leitbild / 06. Lagerhaft / 07. Grössenwahn / 08. Foltersequenz / 09. Stukas im Visier / 10. Geständnis / 11. Kahle Bedrohung / 12. Vergeltung
