One of the hottest electro newcomers is now part of the Black Rain family! The wonderful crazy, Berlin based project POK3MON REAKTOR creates a smashing mixture of OldSchool and North American EBM just according to their motto
: music for critical masses! Most of their songs come up with a wink - a feature that most bands of the genre lack of. So just be prepared - get your boots on and your shirts off - and arm your confetti gun while jumping around to great songs like "Steam Pressure Drill & Kick it" and "War". Street date is early September. YouTube video „War“: http://youtu.be/fTVB-Uf2rLE

CRONOS TITAN was created in 1995 by Per Aksel Lundgreen (from Apoptygma Berzerk, Chinese Detectives and Angst Pop) and Preben Bjønnes (from Defcon 4, Chinese Detectives and Posh) following Per Aksel’s decision to leave Apoptygma Berzerk in December 1994. Dark electronics and industrial sounds, mixed with samples and a harsh religious overtone gave Cronos Titan a cult following in the scene in Germany, Belgium and Sweden. They released the highly successful album "Brides Of Christ" in 1995, followed by a more danceable EP, called "The Gregoraveian EP" in 1996. Now after 15 years of silence CRONOS TITAN returns with the double CD „Total Titan!“, a great retrospective of their work! Pre-order your copy here!
