Reaching #5 in the UK album chart, Alison Moyet’s recent album the minutes was hugely well received, called “her best in decades” by Q, “amazing” by The Quietus, and “a musical resurrection” by the Huffington Post. The accompanying tour was equally lauded, with The Times dubbing it “triumphant” and the Evening Standard stating that “she’s never been better.” These exuberant live recordings from the tour contain a selection of material from the minutes, plus highlights from Alison’s earlier solo and Yaz repertoires.

“Lyrically, Moyet has seldom been better, and her voice is simply ageless.”

“The British singer’s highest-charting — and best-reviewed — album of her 25-year career.”

Lauderdale, Washington DC, Detroit, Atlanta

Megaherz is one of the finest examples of Neue Deutsche Härte, a genre of industrial metal that combines elements of groove metal, techno, and German rock. Megaherz makes use of clean and deep male vocals, heavy riffs, samples, keyboard, and synthesizer effects. The band’s eighth studio album, Zombieland, promises to be a milestone in the band’s history, captivating with rich grooves, bombastic riffs, and catchy choruses. Megaherz is back — stronger than ever — and proves that they are still among the most exciting German rock bands in recent years!

“By giving thought to more aggressive, metal styles of instrumentation, Megaherz have forged all the necessary tools required to create a form of NDH similar yet inherently different from Rammstein.”

Turnstile

Non Stop Feeling Selling Points

• Recorded at Salad Days studios with Brian McTernan (Circa Survive, Hot Water Music, Thrice). • LP pressed on color vinyl; includes digital download. • RIYL: Maximum Penalty, Leeway, Madball.

Media & Marketing

• U.S. tour in December with Madball, Death Before Dishonor, Take Offense, and Downpresser. • European tour in January with Sick Of It All, Ignite, Walls of Jericho, and more.

From the release of their 2010 demo to their 2011 EP Pressure to Succeed, Turnstile have walked a path all their own — a path that has quickly brought them a rabid following based off their groove-driven melodic energies and insane live shows. Having shared the stage with bands like Bane, Trapped Under Ice, Title Fight, Angel Du$T, Backtrack, and more, they have continued to travel and grow. As many attendees to these events can attest, when they play live, no one can sit still. The spirit of Turnstile’s music is constantly creating converts via their vital and overpowering live shows. The Reaper Records release of the Step 2 Rhythm EP in early 2013 drew from NYHC influences such as Madball and Breakdown, but also delivered a new alternative sound that only added more fuel to this growing fire. Now we’re ready to pour on the gasoline. The release of Turnstile’s first full-length record, Nonstop Feeling, is going to give fans so much more than they’re anticipating and draw in a whole new wave of maniacs to the Turnstile tribe!

From Buffalo, NY, Pentimento strive to create a sound focused on the raw emotion of the punk scene that birthed them. While staying true to the roots and influences of their upbringing, what sets Pentimento apart is the sheer honesty and authenticity you take away when listening to their music. The band’s goal has always been to create passionate music that they could share with others, and to connect with the listener on a personal level. Inside the Sea is the four-song follow-up to Pentimento’s incredible self-titled debut, which had the pop-punk community buzzing. While that record was about other people, Inside the Sea tackles the inner workings of the self with soaring vocals, rapid-fire drums, and semi-existential lyrics from drummer Mike Hansen. “How were they gonna top what I thought was their best output to date? Well, Inside the Sea answers just that … what they harness now not only feels more organic, but more blistering.” — PUNKNEWS.ORG

Carlos Cipa is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Munich. While his first full-length solo album, The Monarch and the Viceroy (2012), was based on solo piano, his second publication Relive (2013) was a collaborative EP with pianist/composer Sophia Jani, and added sounds from inside the piano. On his sophomore solo record, All Your Life You Walk, he continues this idea by electronically altering these atmospheric sounds, combining them with sounds from various other instruments before adding them to his distinctive piano playing.

An exciting collaboration of two French experimental/avant-garde/dark jazz acts! In mutual respect and appreciation, both the Dale Cooper Quartet and Witxes selected a track of their split companion and created a fundamental and independent rework around 20 minutes in length. Based upon parts of Witxes’ “The Apparel,” the Dale Cooper Quartet’s “Le Strategie Saint-Frusquin” contains the Quartet’s classic sounds: ambient soundscapes, lazy jazzy rhythms, drone & distortion guitar, and a deep saxophone breath. “Pisces Analogue” is a new Witxes piece based on “Nourrain Quinquet,” a track from Quatorze pièces de menaces by Dale Cooper Quartet & The Dictaphones. In five movements, the track explores the interstices and cracks of the dark, minimalist, lurking, cycle-evolving original piece.

To escape the rigidity of the piano in this 68-minute single piece, dark ambient pioneer Thomas Köner uses his distinctive ansatz to understand music as something filling the space of the temporal dimension rather than as a succession of multi-layered sounds. Over his long, celebrated career, he has worked between audiovisual installation works, sound art, minimal soundscapes, and as one half of Porter Ricks. Among others, he has composed film soundtracks and music to accompany historic silent films for the Louvre Museum and the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, who have called him “a major innovator in the contemporary music scene.”

Life is a constant walk on a tightrope, and no one is more aware of this fact than L’Âme Immortelle, the oft-imitated forerunners in the field of gothic electronica. On Drahtseilakt, all that the band has ever stood for comes together to form an opus whose dramatic density and all-engrossing dramaturgy can only be compared with a Greek tragedy. After years of absence from the stage, and fans’ fears concerning the end of this project, comes a liberating coup of monumental electronic art. It was fate that brought Thomas Rainer and Sonja Kraushofer back together, and it was fate that made Drahtseilakt an opus as creative as their immortal In einer Zukunft aus Tränen und Stahl.

When a fairly unknown band called Rotersand released their debut record 10 years ago, the scene was suddenly full of murmuring. What was behind that trio with the strange name? And why did their first work, Truth Is Fanatic, become an overnight sensation? The answer is extraordinary and yet obvious: because this electro project achieved something permanent. Something viable beyond any trend. Something real. Now, with Truth Is Fanatic Again, they re-record their debut, in a way, yet under the influence of everything that has come and gone these past ten years. Additionally, artists who accompanied, inspired, supported, or flabbergasted the trio over the last decade took part in the re-creation of these classic songs, with cover versions, as special collaborators, or as partners in elaborate new mixes. Track Listing: Electric Elephant • Truth Is Fanatic Again (feat. Mark Jackson of VNV Nation) • Almost Violent (Deliverance Remix by Solitary Experiments) • Content Killer (Refreshed feat. Thomas Rainer) • Electronic World Transmission (Ionnokx Remix) • The Fire (Pre/Verse Recreation) • Social Distortion (Ron Spank Remix feat.

A decade seems like an eternity when it is ahead of you, but in hindsight it shrinks to a blur of activity, glory, and heartache. C-lekktor has used their time well. Crawling out of the obscurity of a drug-war-ravaged country, they possessed an urgency and hunger that made them an irresistible force. It is not an easy feat for any band to break out of the confinements of their mother country, but C-lekktor conquered the world with a vengeance. This is a hard-working band, and they take up any opportunity to spread their message through hard beats, punishing synth lines, and blistering vocals, all driven by the relentless energy of Marko, the charismatic frontman.

Every band claims to be unique and innovative, but few actually are. Bestias de Assalto builds upon a couple of generations of harsh audio fanatics and yes, they stand on the shoulders of giants. These guys are serious about their music, and it shows. The trio from Mexico constructs their mayhem with the mathematical precision of a German engineer: relentless, brutal, and without a shred of mercy. Intense barrages of sonic terror are unleashed, then reined in by haunting melodies. The combination of unstoppable force and almost tender reflection merges into a maelstrom of beats, violent keyboard riffs, and a voice that comes straight from the pits of hell. Powerful, intense, and not for the faint of heart!

This album marks the end of a trilogy that started with Indications of Nigredo (2008) on Segerhuva and continued with the Order4 (2010) on Cold Meat Industry. Four years on, IRM now releases the grand finale on Malignant Records. While the last album flowed between opposites and extremes, this new opus marks a return to more familiar ground, where traditional song structure and melody occasionally appear, and are more suited to the shorter track timing. That’s not to say that this is an easy listen; it can be an electrifying and highly charged listen, that feels visceral and almost physical in nature, and there are plenty of nightmarish circumstances to wade through. But the omnipresent narrative feel ultimately gives these recordings a nuanced and soothing edge.

Nine long years after the release of the seminal album Horizons, we are finally greeted by a new opus from Norway’s most unique craftsmen of cold, desolate Nordic ambient. This is completely new material, gathered from recordings made from 2003–2014. Constantly tapping into the singular northern landscapes of his native Norway for inspiration, Hærleif Langås translates his feelings about the great white north into intricately deep and poignant soundscapes. Northaunt’s sound can best be described as landscapes transformed into aural compositions, enabling the listener to journey through those barren foreign lands through their mind’s eye. “This is one of the best albums I have ever, ever heard … Northaunt have not just released their masterpiece, but they have now put themselves in the books as the masters.” — BRUTAL RESONANCE Track Listing: Istid • Endless Ice • Boreal • The Unseen Earth • Mammoth • Moraine • Extinction Event • Cold Streams Key Markets: New York, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Austin

After the dissolution of Psychomanteum, Apocryphos was formed by Robert C. Kozletsky to continue further down the pathways charted by his previous band. The Prisoner’s Cinema is a duality in concept, exploring two separate paths that intersect throughout. The first path revolves around sensory deprivation, isolation, and the frightening yet spiritual aspects of these experiences. The second path is that of a personal nature, bearing a literal interpretation of the title “Prisoner’s Cinema” where you play the prisoner locked away in the confines of your own mind. This is the troubled soundtrack to a soul starving for catharsis; a release from the chains that hold us down in this uncompromising world. The Prisoner’s Cinema is graced with the signature haunting imagery of Simon Heath (Atrium Carceri) and also features a special guest collaboration by Frederic Arbour (Havan/ Visions…) on one track.

Breakout label debut for this prolific producer and remixer from North Carolina! In a genre not generally known for its sense of humor, BL4KJ4K’s sampling, song titles, and self-proclaimed insistence on being “a cyborg from Sirius” should be sufficient indication that he is not taking himself too seriously.

In 2002, singer Alexander Wesselsky and Noel Pix (composition/keyboard, guitar, producer) founded the industrial dark-electro rock band Eisbrecher (“Icebreaker”). The self-titled debut album and follow-ups Antikörper, Sünde, and Die Hölle muss warte forged them a rabid fan base worldwide, along with media and chart attention. With the new album, entitled Schock, Alexx and Noel have delivered another masterpiece. Emotional, honest, and forthright, Eisbrecher forges delicately brutal music without compromises where heavy industrial guitar sounds, driving electro, and Alexx’s distinctive vocals are clothed in beats both modern and danceable.

“Delivers what Eisbrecher has been known for: strong and forward-driving tracks brimming with synth, powerful drums & guitars, and Wesselsky’s dominating voice.”
