Damon Sgobbo, Senior VP of Sales & Marketing damon.sgobbo@allegromediagroup.com

Into Another are among the most fascinating groups to emerge from the New York post-hardcore scene. After experiencing highs and lows with both independent and major record labels in the ’90s, this time around they decided to take matters into their own hands, forming Ghost Ship Records to release their new music on their own terms. The label’s first release is Into Another’s first recorded output in 20 years, a brilliant five-song EP entitled Omens. Ghost Ship Records comes to NAIL via REV Distro.

French-American indie-rock band DTCV (pronounced “Detective”) was formed in Los Angeles in 2012. The group has been compared by possibly not-entirely-sober music writers to Stereolab, Sonic Youth, Mission of Burma, and “post-Nico Velvet Underground with Debbie Harry on vocals.” Their third full-length LP, Uptime! finds the combo sharpening their claws on a relentless sequence of concise, hook-laden, buzzsaw-guitardrenched power pop songs that owe as much to Debbie Harry as to Wire.

Guylaine Vivarat, who writes and sings on the majority of the band’s songs, is a native of a small village in the French alps. Guitarist James Greer (Guided By Voices) adds his own mostly lit-andcinema inspired influences — he’s published two novels and written movies for Lindsay Lohan, Jackie Chan, Benicio del Toro, and Steven Soderbergh.

A battery of drummers (this is a better joke in French) rounds out the Uptime! sound, but if you don’t get it by now, friends, odds are you never will, and that would be a shame.

The Left Outsides are Mark Nicholas and Alison Cotton, a husband and wife duo from London, England. Their music seeks to evoke that ethereal netherworld between wakefulness and sleep. By playing upon a mixture of introspective folk, cracked psychedelia, the icy European folk of Nico, and experimental drones they achieve a pastoral psychedelia reminiscent of chilly English fields at dawn.

Sunrise for Everyone is La Cerca visionary Andrew Gardner’s Pet Sounds (Beach Boys), his Electric Ladyland (Jimi Hendrix), his Loveless (My Bloody Valentine); symphonically arranged with a multitude of players, this is La Cerca’s grand statement and masterpiece. The sessions for the album, recorded and mixed over a three-year period at Tucson’s esteemed Waterworks Studios (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, RL Burnside, Sonic Youth), resulted in an abundance of instant classics that range from sunny blue-eyed soul to instrumental typhoons full of exaltation and destruction found in the wildest free jazz.

From the ashes of the long-running and revered 16Volt, Black December was founded in Summer 2014 to bring a heavy, melodic, raw, and emotionfilled approach to modern hard rock. Working with co-producer Marc Jordan (The Cult, Die Antwoord, Velvet Revolver), the band wrapped up production of their debut release, titled Vol. 1, in December 2014 and got together with renowned mastering engineer Howie Weinberg (Metallica, Muse, Nirvana) to put the finishing touches on the album in Winter 2015. In March 2015, Black December signed a global three-album deal with legendary independent label Metropolis Records. Shortly after signing, the band was invited to play select shows with KMFDM to kick off their 2015 plans.

Ego Likeness, the long-running musical project of artist Steven Archer and writer Donna Lynch, presents the long-awaited new album When The Wolves Return. The duo blends powerful female vocals with elements of electronica, darkwave, trip-hop, and rock. In the time between Breedless and When The Wolves Return, Donna and Steven faced a series of personal battles. The couple found themselves in dark places, and the resultant years of struggle, tribulations, and eventual triumph are all represented in When The Wolves Return. The album is, at its core, an artistic act of emotional self-evisceration. It is the product of pain felt, and caused. It is beautiful and at times heartshattering. It is also a glorious testament to survival, and strength.

The Membranes formed out of punk and DIY culture, and then promptly went on their own path. This legendary, influential UK band was a John Peel favorite, and released several critically acclaimed albums and singles in the eighties. Reforming after a 20-year break, their name is currently quoted by many as a key influence, as they are direct precursors to the American wave of bands like Big Black, Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, and The Butthole Surfers. Now, a newly reinvigorated Membranes returns with Dark Matter/Dark Energy, to be released on Metropolis Records in July 2015.

Debut album from a rising star of the NYC avant-jazz community!

Featuring Village Voice “Drummer of the Year” Kevin Shea.

Art direction and design by The Designers Republic.

Press and publicity by New Atlantis Records.

RIYL: John Zorn, Peter Brotzmann, Art Ensemble of Chicago.

NY-based saxophonist Chris Pitsiokos’ debut album as a leader, Gordian Twine, was recorded live at the Firehouse Space in Brooklyn.

This record is uncut, raw, and not for the faint of heart. The vitality, chemistry, and brutality of the performance is reminiscent of ’70s loft jazz, while the content is refreshingly far from derivative. Joined here by two of New York’s most exciting creative musicians — drummer Kevin Shea and bassist Max Johnson — Pitsiokos has composed intensely personal material catered to the individual voices of the musicians involved. Sonically, the material is alternatingly imbued with demonic velocity, abstract pointillism, and tidal wave force, executed with wit and athleticism.

RIYL: Kayo Dot, Time of Orchirds, Don Caballero.

STERN is an innovative, transcendent force in creative rock music.

The ensemble is led by vocalist/keyboardist Chuck Stern, known for his work in Time of Orchids, accompanied by members of the celebrated avant-metal outfit Kayo Dot, PAK, and Hazel-Rah. This is monolithic music, fine-tuned for staring across vast barren expanses of land, ducking beyond the frenzy of urban living, and awaiting the impending, all-encompassing void. Alternately angular, serene, austere, and sincere, propelled by shifting rhythms and immanently memorable vocal lines, STERN collectively craft and explore the unique confluence of art prog, industrial, post punk, math rock, and much more. Fans of sincere, innovative rock music owe it to themselves to dig this one!

Jeff Kowalkowski is a long-standing fixture of the Chicago creative jazz community (including a stint with Rob Mazurek’s Exploding Star Orchestra), and a noted educator at both DePaul & Northeastern University, with a program steeped in the vital traditions of Midwestern improvised music.

He’s accompanied here by seasoned veterans of the legendary AACM — bassist Harrison Bankhead and drummer Avreeayl Ra — collaborators of Pharoah Sanders, Fred Anderson, Ernest Dawkins, Sun Ra, among many others.

Astoundingly, this marks Jeff’s first outing as a leader. His approach to piano is breathtaking and revolutionary; spiraling, angular contrapuntal harmonies are buoyed by the bracing rhythms of the ensemble. Fans of the Chicago Sound in modern creative jazz take heed — this record is fantastic.

Disgrace exemplifies some of the most malicious and technical metallic hardcore out there in a unique and devastating way, with the penetrating harshness of masters Merauder, Cold As Life, and All Out War taking on more metallic attributes of early Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse, and Sepultura, delivering a modern, punishing metallic groove. Recorded by Taylor Young at The Pit Recording Studio, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and visually brought to life by Dan Seagrave, this album captures 34 minutes of executionerstyle metallic hardcore, with exceptionally hard breakdowns and immediately contagious movements through a hardline delivery.

Into Another is one of the most fascinating groups to emerge from the New York underground. Coming together in 1990 with vocalist Richie Birkenhead (Underdog, Youth Of Today) and longtime friend Drew Thomas (Crippled Youth, Bold) on drums, they enlisted virtuoso Peter Moses on guitar and riffmaster Tony Bono (Whiplash) on bass. That year they released their self-titled debut on Revelation Records, which displayed the band’s musical chops and tripped-out spiritual vision.

In 1992, they released a four-song EP entitled Creepy Eepy that reflected their increasing range.

As they gained popularity and released an epic second full-length, 1994’s Ignaurus, they were quickly catapulted into the ranks of buzz bands of the era. After one final PETA benefit EP with Revelation Records, Into Another were courted and signed to Hollywood Records in 1995. The band went on to record their third full-length, Seemless, as their major label debut. While their single “T.A.I.L.” fared well on radio and climbed to #39 on the Billboard singles chart, mismanaged distribution and promotion ultimately played a major role in breaking up the band.

By 1997, Into Another had disbanded. Any hope of a reunion seemed to disappear with the tragic death of Tony Bono in 2002, and members continued to drift apart as time passed. Luckily, in 2012, the 25th anniversary of Revelation Records brought Into Another back together, with Brian Balchack (Ignite) and Reid Black (Innaway) joining on guitar and bass. The band has never been better.

Two decades since their last recorded output, Into Another are self-releasing a five-song EP entitled Omens. The eleven-pointed star rises again!

In his new series of concept albums, electronic music producer Samuel van Dijk moves from an evolutionary to a cosmological scale.

Starting from dry land filled with light and streams, to the constantly changing surfaces of the oceans, into a frozen and murky underwater world, and finally up to the arrival in an interstellar space and the cosmos. With this concept, Multicast Dynamics explores organic and aqueous worlds in a dreamlike and spiritual appearance. Aquatic System is the second installment of the series, written and composed in two remote geographical places: Finland and Fuerteventura.

Inspired by the complexity of water, its movement, inhabitants, and hidden energy, the album was assembled mainly using synthesizers and processed field recordings of the ponds, streams, lakes, and oceans of the different locations.

Arriving on the scene in 1993 with their self-titled demo, Yen Pox immediately made their presence known with an ability to create monumental, light-devouring soundscapes that transcended all that had come before. Now set to release their first full-length recording in over 15 years, Yen Pox will never be accused of being prolific.

But on the rare occasion that recordings do arise, they are nothing short of masterful, reminding listeners why they’ve achieved such notoriety with such a limited discography, and why their recordings are consistently recognized as benchmarks within the dark ambient genre.

“One of the darkest and most chilling atmospheric records ever made.”

As one half of Swedish/Norwegian industrial duo K.N.O., Kristoffer Oustad is no stranger to the Malignant roster, and yet within the broader context of the K.N.O. sound, his exact contributions were never fully known, or at least immediately recognizable. Listening to his debut solo recording, it becomes evident that the more emotive and moody qualities within those recordings seemed to be his primary responsibility. The seven tracks that comprise Filth Haven operate on a palpable psychological level, and are perhaps some of the most personal and deeply emotional recordings Malignant has released.

Oustad shows an innate ability to craft intricate and detailed pieces of grey-hued analog darkness that feel suspended in time … dreamlike and meditative, yet always hinting at something ominous on the horizon.

New solo work of the man behind VidnaObmana and Microphonics.

Also known for New Wave of Jazz on Tonefloat Recordings.

Promo campaign through Viral Propaganda.

RIYL: Microphonics, VidnaObmana, Continuum, Fear Falls Burning.

Unseen Descending and Lamentations is the result of Dirk Serries’ collaborations with (free) jazz and improv artists. Recent solo concerts in Norway sparked Serries to explore a vast array of sounds, without losing track of his minimal and atmospheric roots. Almost simultaneously, he was reconnecting with his classic VidnaObmana period (1987­–1996), resulting in a brand-new album from Projekt Records. So it comes as no surprise that these influences echo throughout his new solo material. The new album, which serves as a prelude to the critically acclaimed 2013 Microphonics XXI–XXV album, creates a musical universe that bridges the gap between “vintage” Serries, and the Serries that is constantly searching for new ways to touch the sublime in sounds, harmonies, and atmospheres. Unseen Descending and Lamentations is a very personal expression of new musical developments in constant motion.

Buoyant brings together two of the most prolific and interesting artists the ambient/drone genre has to offer. For this release, Dirk Serries (Microphonics, VidnaObmana, Continuum) and Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek, DNMF, Cloud Ensemble) teamed up to make a hauntingly beautiful album in four chapters. Sparse and subtle, yet powerful and urgent, these chapters lift up the audience and keep them afloat for the entire listening trip. The avant-garde approach of Zuydervelt’s soundscaping merges brilliantly with Serries’ minimal, atmospheric sounds and ambiences. The result is simply stunning, and leaves one wanting more!

NAIL NEWS & REVIEWS John Pirozzi’s documentary about the lost Cambodian music scene, starring Drakkar Band among others, continues to gain momentum: “A pure and joyous celebration of the music … an avowal of just how potent rock ‘n’ roll can be.”

“The music remains treasured not only by Cambodians but also by rock connoisseurs around the world, for a spunky inventiveness that now, in retrospect, makes Cambodia seem a sparkling outpost of world pop.”

“Recounting an era that began so joyously and ended so tragically, Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten well achieves its goal of once again shining a spotlight on these artists.”
