12" Picture Vinyl Nitzer Ebb "Industrial Complex" By releasing the exclusive picture vinyl edition of Nitzer Ebb´s album "Industrial Complex", Black Rain continues the successful vinyl series, which already had some great and well-known predecessors like Welle Erdball, Feindflug, Die Perlen and more. This Nitzer Ebb picture vinyl is strictly limited to 500 numbered copies. As a special bonus, you will find an exclusive FEINDFLUG-remix of the Nitzer Ebb-track "Once You Say" - a song featuring the background voice of Martin Gore!!! When Douglas McCarthy and Bon Harris formed a band in 1982 and started to record their first demos, they didn´t yet know that they were writing music history. Their sound was raw and unpolished, an electronic adaptation of the dying punk movement. With minimal funding, drums, a sequencer and McCarthy´s penetrating voice, they quickly came to stand as a synonym for a significant new musical genre: Electronic Body Music (or EBM for short). Through seminal albums such as "That Total Age", "Belief" and "Ebbhead", they continued to beat their own unique path, until they parted company after ten years. However, this was not the end and recent reunion shows have proven that there is life still in the old ghost. As brilliant and relevant today as ever, they are now back with a brand new studio album, "Industrial Complex". Opening with a rousing bassline, reminiscent of the wonderful "Murderous", the opening track "Promises" sets the tone. McCarthy´s voice varies from offensive to fragile, with an arrangement rich in detail, edginess and energy. This album is like a bridge back in time to the 80s. Without doubt, this is the work of NITZER EBB, with the same level of complexity that characterises all their work, traversing the years to create a new modern sound for the present.

CD Dandelion Wine "All Becompassed By Stars" Dandelion Wine´s latest album "All Becompassed By Stars" takes the increased energy and danceability of 2008´s "Selected Anachronisms" to our new level of intensity, whilst simultaneous featuring some of the band´s most ethereal and beautiful work to date. The result is an album of extremes, with a distinct dichotomy between the pounding beats of songs such as "Gravity" and the delicate acoustic flourishes of "Early Warning Sign" or the ambient textures of "Seven Times As Bright". However, even amid the most intense songs, the band´s trademark use of medieval and world instruments is still clearly evident, with dulcimers, bell cittern and flutes ringing out over the fat analogue synths, big beats and cranked guitars. While the band have frequently flirted with non-western rhythms over the years, on "All Becompassed By Stars" these rhythms come to the fore, with layers of Indian, Middle Eastern and African percussion driving many of the songs. Adding to the Australian duo´s usual array of unconventional instrumentation are the bell cittern (a late-medieval 12 string instrument akin to the mandolin) and sansula (a German variation of the African kalimba or thumb piano). Perhaps the biggest change in approach for this album is simply one of location and environment. While all previous Dandelion Wine releases were recorded in the band\'s hometown of Melbourne, Australia (with "Selected Anachronisms" being recorded in the middle of a particularly intense Australian summer), "All Becompassed By Stars" was recorded in the snow Berlin winter. The duo set up a temporary studio in an apartment in Kreuzberg in Berlin´s inner west and proceeded to record the album surrounded by snow and ice with a frozen canal just out the window - a far cry from the orange glow of bushfire that hangs over Melbourne in recent summers. Also impacting on the writing and recording of this album is the three years of near constant touring that Dandelion Wine have been doing since the release of 2006´s “An Inexact Science”. With numerous tours through Australia, Japan, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, France, UK, Portugal and Switzerland, the band´s live shows have been growing steadily more intense and this is reflected in increased energy and manic guitar work of tracks such as "Gravity", "Shards" and "Nowhere".

CD Dexy Corp_ "Fragmentation" "Download pain, it´s time to plug my hate" Dexy Corp_ is the new rising IndustrialRock-hope from France. Intense brutality has ever been used by many bands as an accoustic stylistic device. But most of them used this to such an extent that it got more and more a banalized and boring phrase. Dexy Corp_ managed it to re-invent this brutality for themselves in order to raise the bar in the Industrial Rock genre. But they do not rest on their laurels - they go one step further. Uncompromising songs with a skillfully done songwriting and use of instrument do not just invite the listener - they wrest him from his world into a completely new and strange universe in which dreadful and menacing future visions merge with a cold and categorical rejection of today´s society. Ultra heavy industrial guitars and vertiginous arrangements will not leave any time to rest and dwarf everything else before. Whoever admires bands like Die Krupps, Ministry or KMFDM will love Dexy Corp_! But be careful: Use at own risk! |  |

CD Der Blaue Reiter "Nuclear Sun" Der Blaue Reiter returns with its third full-time album "Nuclear Sun". Each of these skillfully done compositions are made of powerful percussions and majestic neo classical passages full of pain and sadness performed by Sathorys Elenorth & Lady Nott (Narsilion, Lugburz, Ordo Funebris & Endless Asylum). This new musical chapter is inspired by one of the biggest nuclear disasters of our times: The Chernobyl disaster. You can feel the crying of our past, the legacy of humanity behind the desolation of the ghost town of Pripyat... where dreams are just a legend and death is the darkest reality... A perfect soundtrack that offers an homage to all victims that fell under the sky of "Nuclear Sun".

CD Tyske Ludder "Anonymous" The next big thing! After having released the controversial "SCIENTific technOLOGY" EP, TYSKE LUDDER present their new album "Anonymous". Everybody, who thought that this band ran out of steam - beware of the best TYSKE LUDDER album ever! Once being called Oldschool-EBM legend, TYSKE LUDDER easily manage it to step out of their own shadow and start a new chapter in the band´s 20 years history with new and fresh sounds combining Electro- and EBM-sounds. Harsh beats collide with soundscapes that fight against Albert´s dominant and unique voice - tracks like "Shookz", "Frya Frisena" or "Bastard" will definitely smash up your ass. Thematically, TYSKE LUDDER again don´t mince matters, it is all about dealing blows, not taking hits. As a bonus, you will find the great cover version of JESUS AND THE GURU´s provoking "Panzerlied". |  |

CD Brillig "The Red Coats" BRILLIG´s latest album showcases their inimitable style. With plaintive & alluring vocals and the full cast of brooding instruments (banjo, viola, guitar, autoharp, accordion, ukulele, harmonica, bass), it also marks the debut of drummer Ben Macklin (ex - bit by bats). BRILLIG´s strongest songwriting to date, "The Red Coats" LP offers 12 compelling tales of
tragedy, intrigue and sorrow (plus an instrumental `intermission´), which
move effortlessly from lush to sparse arrangements. Enchantingly melancholic, beautifully tragic, strangely uplifting... BRILLIG presents a record to become absorbed in - lost in the rhythm and clear space - but centred on the stories within.

CD Jesus and the Gurus "Blood, Sweat and Tears" „We are the Band from the Chocolate Land, we are the pride of Switzerland“. These truthful words let us think of an egocentrical band. And thats what Jesus and the Gurus make us believe with their new cd „Blood, Sweat and Tears“. Jesus and the Gurus bring a new musical direction to their fans. Harder, louder, even more cynical and aggressive. A mixture of industrial (like Einstürzende Neubauten, Test Dep.), metal (Ministry, Rammstein) and harsh-electro (Feindflug, NIN) melt to a storm of noise, a machinery of apocalypse. Also known as sound, their songs are the weapons of mankind. Jesus and the Gurus are as ironical and cynical as never before. The result of this statement is to be heard in their lyrics. They still speak of all the themes unspoken. Jesus and the Gurus never capitulate.

CD The Pussybats "Famous Last Songs" Finally the German alternative rockers THE PUSSYBATS are to release their long-awaited debut album ´famous last songs´ worldwide via Black Rain Records. It has been produced by Chai Deveraux (known as the guitarist of the industrial-glam-rock-band Jesus on Extasy) and Hahn&Hahn, a team which has already worked with acts like Nena, Kim Wilde and the Farmer Boys. The first full-length album is one of the milestones in every young band´s career. In this effect a lot of heart, soul, sweat and tears have been put into every aspect of the production. ´the most beautiful tales end sadly´, for example, features not only a contrabass, but also a guest pianist and vocalist, Leandra. The songs as a whole are diverse – in between a goodbye kiss and a kick in the ass - but also follow a clear, straight line: emotions instead of academics, catchiness, rock´n´roll instead of arty gimmicks. Or, as the band themselves put it: "And even if we´d been struck by lightning the very next day, we´d have known that we´d put everything into that record we´d had to offer and left a legacy to be proud of!
These could indeed be our ´famous last songs´.“

CD Jabberwock "Sweet Limbo" The second JABBERWOCK album "Sweet Limbo" again proves that this band has an own style incomparable to everything you have ever heard before. The intensity of this new sound reminds somehow of NIN, Ministry and even Aphex Twin - but JABBERWOCK´s brute ElectroRock never copies anything - they re-invent a cool and oustanding style with elements from ElectroClash, ElectroRock and even Electro. Pulsating beats, nihilistic guitars, levitating keyboards and distorted female vocals, presenting zynical and sarcastic lyrics, will make you an addict. Lyrics like "Fake", "Faster", "Brainbondage" and "Clean" are real highlights in times of senseless and meaningless pop-culture. A great artwork finishes an impressive and unique piece of art. JABBERWOCK - the name of an evil ghost from "Alice Through the Looking Glass", the name of an asteroid - and now the name for a comet comming from Paris that will change our lives…

CD Rise and Fall of a Decade "Love it or leave it" "Love it or leave it" is definitively the last album of Rise and Fall of a Decade. Reunited in 2006, the band´s new creative effort was soon brought to an end by the sudden death of singer Pierre François Maurin-Malet in May 2007. All lyrics had been recorded before and composer Thierry Sintoni did an emotionally disturbing job in finishing the yet incomplete songs. This process resulted in an album that presents us a grown and genius band that was no longer bound to any genre limitations and even processed influences of the side-project Cube like People. Especially the ballad "In the time when", a collaboration with guest singer Carla Picchiantano and Pierre François, proves that Rise and Fall of a Decade still belong to the most important bands of that genre. As special bonus, the album comes up with an additional CD called "A missing friend tribute" - full of mixes and cover versions done by bands like Collection D´Arnell-Andrea, Speaking Silence, Hide and Seek, Nemo Sandman, O Quam Tristis. And now, after 20 years - after two decades - the journey has come to an end and we say goodbye to one of the greatest bands - and great people... Merci. |  |

These 6 extraterrestrian musicians were on the hunt for a life saving substance - the Atomic Neon. In a skillfully arranged manner, adding new elements to the ColdWave sound and combining PunkRock with emotional vocals, this CD presents a range of sounds which won´t definitely be forgotten. |  |

CD Rise and Fall of a Decade "Forget the 20th century" "Forget the 20th century" is the last of the re-releases of the French band Rise and Fall of a Decade.

CD Rise and Fall of a Decade "Rise and Fall of A Decade" 18 years after the first release in France, "Rise and Fall of A Decade" is another highlight of re-releases of the band Rise and Fall of A Decade. A timeless piece of art that again will enchant the audience. Until today, Sandy Casado, Pierre François Maurin-Malet und Thierry Sintoni aka Rise and Fall of a Decade remain one of the most important Wave/Romantic/Heavenly-Voices acts of all time. Bittersweet and melancholic sounds in combination with straight Guitar-Wave will let you feel what it means to taste eternity. The CD is released with a completely new artwork. |  |

CD Novalis deux "Ghosts over Europe" It has been more than 3 years and it took a huge amunt of artistic effort and studio work - but now it is done - the new album of NOVALIS DEUX is finished. After the CD "Paradise...?" had convinced both the fans and the critics, the new CD "Ghosts over Europe" is a masterpiece that stands for the increased musical und artistical skills NOVALIS DEUX can again convince with. Still being DarkFolk at its base, the band mixes lots of genres creating a CD that cannot be put into any single genre at all. Songs like "Sleeping Violin", "Homecoming", "Passing by" or "Rome" will find their place in the fans and critics minds for sure. In addition to the two main members of the band Stev (lyrics) and Marcel (keyboards) NOVALIS DEUX has two new members - Mathias (Drums) and Jojo (Piano, Guitar) who both contribute their skills to the new NOVALIS DEUX sound, which makes clear that this is a band we can expect more from in the future. It comes up with a premium copper-embossment digipac.

CD Jabberwock "Jabberwock" "Jabberwock" is an intensive debut album. Life is violent, music is not just only entertaining. The French band Jabberwock hammers this feeling in an intensive Electro-Rock sound: a mutant female voice driven by powerful and obsessive beats along with New Wave bass lines, hazy keyboards and nihilist guitars draw an anxious picture of our everyday life. Jabberwock´s work is inspired by alternative-industrial-electro bands such as NIN, Ministry, click´n´cut stuff (aphex twin...), digital-hardcore stuff (hanin elias) or shoegazers (My Bloody Valentine)... The album contain 10 great songs + 5 remixes. Never quiet, Jabberwock is a restless multi-faced monster who traps the listener within its world. You can listen it again and again, it will reveal a new face every time...

CD Dandelion Wine "Selected Anachronisms" Dandelion Wine´s new album Selected Anachronisms (Ars Musica Diffundére/Black Rain Media Group) is a slight departure from 2006´s ~An Inexact Science~, with a greater emphasis on the intensity of the band´s live show which has enthralled people around the world. The album features Dandelion Wine´s trademark tapestry of old acoustic instruments (such as dulcimer, lute, flute, bowed psaltery), layered atmospheres and singer Naomi Henderson´s enrapturing vocal, but adds a new element of big danceable beats and grooves. This change has been brought about in part by the band´s frequent touring: since the release of ~An Inexact Science~ Dandelion Wine have embarked on three full tours of Australia and a 3 month tour of Europe and Japan. Recorded in various locations in Australia including inner city Melbourne and a tranquil farm house in rural Gippsland, “Selected Anachronisms” features the an even wider array of instruments than previous Dandelion Wine albums, with everything from medieval strings instruments, to analogue synths, ethnic percussion to multi-layered guitars, all underpinned by a solid foundation of electronic beats.

According to style and harshness – TYSKE LUDDER are still famous for their excellent German Old School EBM but were also able to catch up with modern Electro tunes. „SCIENTific technOLOGY“ is not just a small appetizer for the next long player but the band’s wish for dealing with a very current topic – and like TYSKE LUDDER it always did – as aggressive as it’s possible.

CD IWR "Cold Asylum" IWR are back! After their successful debut "Ground Zero" the Dark-Electro band from Israel release their second fulltime CD. A much more grown-up sound meets intelligent structures resulting in a skillfully produced studio album. Harsh beats fight with wonderful melodies - and you\'ll be glad that none of them will win this battle but conflate to a musically unit full of contrasts. Besides the main part of the band, Maor Appelbaum (vocals/synthesizers) and Tal Galfsky (synthesizers) it is the two female vocalists (Moran Uliel, Michal Jakubowicz) that make "Cold Asylum" a perfect masterpiece. A great second album that again brillantly mirrors the band´s potential.

CD Tyske Ludder "Dalmarnock (+ bonus)" "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. "Hexenjagd" was the counterstroke to defamation the band had to suffer from - and it became a real club hit. |  |
|
CD Tyske Ludder "Bombt die Mörder? (+ bonus)" "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.

CD Reliquary "Winter World" "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.

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" 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. |  |

CD-EP Feindflug "Sterbehilfe" 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. |  |
|

|
CD The Days of the Trumpet Call "Purification" Whoever has already enjoyed TDOTTC\'s brillant track which was presented on the "Nightingale Compilation" will be very interested in this: electronically influenced Neoclassic comes along with powerful percussions.

Afterwards this fact certifies the quality and exclusiveness of our sampler. |  |
|
CD Feindflug "Feindflug [4.V.]" 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. |  |
