The Star Release Schedule is as follows: Bandcamp digital release on July 24, 2023, followed by the CD/USB release on August 21, 2023, and finally the vinyl/tape release in November 2023.
The album’s title was originally ““The Bastard Gods””, but in a twist of perfect irony it was redacted to become “The Star””, because due to current social media algorithms not allowing the use of words such as “Bastard” or the word “Gods”
The lyrical content of the album, explore the effects new technology does and also will have on our psychology through personal and other social interactions, our access to factual news and emerging technolgies influence on the way we vote, as well as exploring the ever-widening class system, and swiftly emerging underclass.
“The Star” questions the increasing influence of social media algorithms as it affects how we perceive the world, what we call “truth”, “facts”, and what we support and shun through our biased and ignorant support of cancel culture.
Zoog says; “The only thing these algorithms care about is keeping users engaged, enraged and buying more disposable trash. The happiness and tragedy you share is merely content to help it achieve the desired goal. Either you play the game, or you don’t exist. I don’t see “light & dark” or “wolves & sheep” anymore, just angry animals trying to ruin each other with disinformation and hate campaigns, and now we have an increasing influence from artificial intelligence; the future is now, and it’s getting very interesting.”
A quick review of “The Star”
1 The Greatest Trick is a informative song about religion, where the point of the track is to tell you it’s a manipultaion.
2 Jump For Joy, A positive song about social activism, “If you’ve done nothing wrong, You have nothing to fear” while communicating that there is no superman, and you can only save yourself from society through self- awareness, and social activism, because the bleak future is about not owning things, and sharing everything which makes us individuals, and those behaviors will cause us to be “happy”.
3 Do The Spin is a slower song than previous tracks about ideology, through technology, and embodying Issac Asimov “Electric Sheep” rhetoric.
4 Sentient, when cyberpunk meets sega, featuring the awesome work of Dave Nato om drums, is a track about the future implications of technology on society.
5 The Game Is Stupid is a down tempo, sludge and doomy piece, which definitely features the Blaster Beam prominently on this track.
6 Tyranny Of The Beat is a upbeat melodic and very dance-able tune, with distorted hardstyle-type bassdrums. The track is about how the media twists and embellishes modern reality, to fit the corporate agenda, and misleading the masses to make incorrect choices, altering our future capacity as humans, to care deeply for ourselves, each other, and for the health of the planet.
7 LockJaw56b, a instrumental tune, prominently featuring both Dave Nato’s syncopative percussion, and The Blaster Beam, which i find to be very creative and evolved compared to Angelspits previous discography.
8 Art Imitates War asks is ignorance bliss ? This track asks the pressing questions, on the lifestyle difference between “modern” society, and a third world country.
9 Pay The Butchers Bill, is a song about how all things come due.
Number 9 is a nice change of pace from the previous track, and very nice track arrangement on the album. Most of the previous songs have been uptempo, fast and aggressive sludgy, doom, and downtempo.
10 Feed The Hungry Ghost is back to the fast paced and exciting uptempo synthesis Anglespit is recognized for, with the hook being “Don’t Sleep”. The Blaster Beam featured again promintently, staring in this this track from the beginning.
11 Posessed By A Demon is a harsh, but etheral and fast tempo arrangement, evocative of punk music, with a skank dance attached, expelling the hazards of being controlled by consumerism, modern corporate brands, and being manipulted by advertising.
12 The System changes the pace again, slowing down the vibe, and ensuring the listener is consciously aware of the content: manifactured capatialism, and the relentless corruption which is inherent in a capitalist society.
13 Jesters Priviledge is the last track, and leaves us with thoughts and wishes we all have from time to time: Are we human, or are we machine ?
What seperates those lifestyles, and what do they enatil in our society, being treated as less than human, a number, a self-centered numb sub-human, because to stand out, be yourself, and to be vulnerable, is a captital crime worthy of being prosecuted and judged by cancel culture.

“Un:Sterblich – Our Souls Will Never Die” – Tracklist:
Metropolis Records is Proud to Welcome ZANIAS Metropolis Records has partnered with Fleisch Records to release the new album Chrysalis in North and South America.
Since 2014, Zanias has existed as the unrepentant creative venture of Alison Lewis, born in Australia, raised in Southeast Asia, and also known for her vocal work with Linea Aspera, Keluar and a record shelf’s worth of collaborations with the likes of Black Rain, Ancient Methods, Dax J, I Hate Models and Infravision.
As the sole custodian of Fleisch Records she spent many years attuning herself to Berlin dancefloors through the timely collision of techno and electronic body music, but her true passion is for understanding the modality of emotions through songwriting. Sound is her psycho-spiritual catharsis and philosophical exploration of existence, expressed through an intense vocal performance, evocative melodies and heavy rhythmic components. With this signature structure she seeks to reinvent her own brand of ethereal pop: atmospheric, multi-layered and as alien as it is authentically, vulnerably human.
The creation of ‘Chrysalis’ was a retreat from a seemingly endless string of unfortunate events, a cocoon from which Zanias could weave hope from hopelessness. In each of its eight songs she has engineered unique worlds to express alternate facets of the modern human experience, from burnout and the toxicity of capitalism to processing death and the inherent isolation of personal trauma.
Written and recorded between Berlin and the rainforest of Queensland, Australia, the sound design of ‘Chrysalis’ reflects the rich biodiversity of the latter environment, where she drew much of her inspiration. Her voice shifts and morphs into ghostly, alien forms between catchy hooks that plant this album firmly in the ‘pop’ genre, without losing the underground rawness and lyrical depth for which she is known.
With her third full-length album, Chrysalis, Zanias is expressing her truest form thus far, fusing her seemingly discordant influences into a genre-defying electronic art pop, as dark and evocative as it is ethereal and uplifting.
In the realm of music, there are certain compositions that transcend time and space, evoking emotions and painting vivid landscapes in our minds. Alessandro Mercanzin, an Italian musician known as DELREI, has masterfully crafted such an auditory experience with his debut album, “Desolation and Radiation.” This wordless vision of a lost world from the future captivates listeners with its melancholy tones, taking them on a hypnotic journey through an inhospitable post-nuclear desert.
Within the haunting melodies of “Desolation and Radiation,” Mercanzin weaves together a tapestry of musical elements. The shadowy twang of electric guitars, the dusty spectral melodies, the driving orchestral timpani, and the rustic sounds of instruments like banjo, harmonica, and mouth harp all contribute to the orchestration of this mythic western of the future. It is a sonic landscape that embraces solitude, cold haunted nights, and lonely red vistas, leaving the listener with a sense of somber personal reflection.
Reflecting on his creative process, Alex explains, “To me, ‘Desolation and Radiation’ represents a melancholic portrayal of lost dreams in a future world. With a ghostly sound echoing in my mind, I sought to convey dark and intriguing riffs, realizing that I could speak volumes with just a few whispered notes from my guitars. Each song on this album paints a dramatic scene, transporting me to a reverb-drenched wasteland in a parallel universe.”
Delrei Tracklisting:
Solitario
Into the Wasteland
Nowhere to Ride
Ensenada
Far from Here
Get Lost Blues
Lonely Night
Dusk
Country
Mysterious Traveler
Daydream
Assisting Mercanzin in shaping this musical opus is producer Maurizio Baggio, known for his work with artists like Soft Moon, Boy Harsher, and Nuovo Testamento. Together, they explore various genres, incorporating influences from Giallo-pulp and the evocative scores that have shaped Mercanzin’s musical evolution. While they tease, avoid, and embrace the clichés of Italian Spaghetti Westerns, their adventurous sound emerges from a rich tapestry of guitars, vintage instruments, reverbs, and the traditional Sicilian harp known as the marranzanu. Maurizio’s vintage synths and old 60s organs add depth and texture to the compositions, while Michele Tedesco’s haunting trumpets in “Nowhere to Ride” and Stefano Miozzo’s pedal steel guitar in “Far from Here” provide additional layers of musicality.
Beyond the immersive sonic experience, “Desolation and Radiation” carries a veiled message—a cautionary tale that urges us to learn from the mistakes of the past to prevent a terrifying future. It serves as a reminder that our actions in the present have the power to shape the trajectory of our world.
Projekt Records, known for its dedication to innovative and thought-provoking music, proudly welcomes DELREI and their debut album. “Desolation and Radiation” is available as a Name-Your-Price title on Bandcamp, allowing listeners to support the artist while immersing themselves in this captivating musical journey. For those seeking a glimpse into the evocative atmosphere that DELREI has conjured, the official music video for “Get Lost Blues” offers a visual accompaniment to the album’s haunting soundscapes.

PSY’AVIAH feat. SORROW STORIES releases Healing EP
This Bandcamp release includes an exclusive booklet with lyrics plus 2 bonus remixes by LECTREAU (Passenger A from METROLAND) and DYNALECTRIC ORCHESTRA!
PSY’AVIAH is now closing the “Bittersweet” chapter in beauty with Yves Schelpe’s stunning collaboration with Tina Forlorn of SORROW STORIES. “Healing” is maybe the most representative song from this conceptual album after all, where you can realize that, “there is joy in pain and that tears can taste so sweet”… A more laid-back melancholic dark pop song with strong highly expressive vocals leading breakbeat arrangements and sinister melodic synth-lines.
For the occasion of this new EP release, both artists recorded together an exclusive bonus song: “Heaven Is Not Enough” that mixes metaphorical lyrics, sorrowful atmospheres with more upbeat dark electronics. A touching piece of work playing with double meanings and questioning whether dreaming of death to feel alive makes any sense when “Heaven is not enough” and might be your new Hell… a sort of beginning of the finale in a place where there is no conclusion because you need to recreate yourself altogether!?
PSY’AVIAH here again is joined by artists from various music scenes including some noticeable usual partners in crimes to serve us a more than eclectic cocktail of remixes including AESTHETISCHE, PEOPLE THEATRE, AIBOFORCEN Eric C. Powell, Eva X, NATURES OF WIRES, ENEMY INFESTATION, 13TH ANGEL and 11GRAMS…
And always remember on bittersweet days, that in pain there’s strength to be found… It can’t always be sunshine!
LIGHTS A.M releases Afraid To Let Go EP, and a live video, from Alfa Matrix
Norwegian cinematic ambient electronic project LIGHTS A.M. (aka Erlend Eilertsen of ESSENCE OF MIND) presents to us an all new quite dark and eerie ambient single featuring “Not Ready For This” with layers of synths and some tribal almost ritualistic percussions, while “Afraid To Let Go” is more organic and enchanting although it remains very melancholic, ethereal and dreamy (and this especially expressed through the live bonus version on this EP).
The first previews of a new sonic voyage where the listener creates their own journey.
This is how Erlend himself perceives it: “Both these tracks have some of the same emotions, though in different ways. “In Not Ready For This” I see fog, a challenge, and fear of going through it, while in “Afraid To Let Go” the challenge is to let go of something which doesn’t serve you, but still being afraid of what will happen after you let go. So it is basically fear, sadness and melancholia blended together, quite dark yes…”.
808 DOT POP Releases two new EPs- AM1040 & FM96.9 on AlfaMatrix
Passenger S turns on his radio once more after the release of the well-received companion CD albums “FM88.2” and “AM1350” (and “MW720” on digital platforms).
The two new 808 DOT POP EP’s “FM96.9” and “AM1040” both place the second single, “Distant Voices” in the spotlight.
Again Lis van den Akker takes the honours singing on the main song creating an ERASURE-esque vibe. Light weight sequences and gentle yet driving melodies over an effortlessly rippling bass line will leave no lover of the pure synth-pop untouched.
Next to a reworked version of the album track “Modulation”, almost acting as another ‘A side’ track, there are two exclusive titles, one being ‘FM/AM’ and the brand new track “The Boys Of Wireless”, inspired by the 1912 book by Frank Webster. Still following the concept of crystal and wireless radio, there are two new extended versions, one of ‘Distant Voices’ and ‘Modulation’ topping it all off with a hard hitting club mix by Belgian artist ‘Sequence 5’.
There is no better way to truly end 808 DOT POP’s broadcastings, and to start aching for a nice hot summer, than with this fizzing pop song “Distant Voices”.
Lyrics: Taste the waste Of our neon disgrace Deformed children made from corporate gods grace Better wear your mask because The air melts your face No one wins in this human race
I pledge allegiance to my own corruption Preserving my freedom of self destruction I want to be the one with the most damage You can’t tell me how to live on my
Slum planet
My trash hate and lies Piled as high as I like So welcome to my Slum planet I don’t care if you live or you die As long as your willing to buy So welcome to my Slum Planet
The only thing here built to last Is the engine that turns your world to trash My domain is the future pain Light your path like a moth to the flame My trash hate and lies Piled as high as I like So welcome to my Slum planet
I don’t care if you live or you die As long as your willing to buy So welcome to my Slum Planet
Behind my plastic faces Sealed off inside glass cases My machine my machine will grant it All the dreams of a slum planet
“Today we shall no longer live in shame and regret of our inability to coexist in accord with nature. We must embrace our superior position upon this planet and recognize it as a resource for our disposal and no matter how finite of a resource it is, we shall live for today and not question the limitations of tomorrow as we are the gods of now. Thank you for your donation”
My trash hate and lies Piled as high as I like So welcome to my Slum planet
I don’t care if you live or you die As long as your willing to buy So welcome to my Slum Planet
Behind my plastic faces Sealed off inside glass cases My machine my machine will grant it All the dreams of a slum planet

“The Star” incorporates unique elements, with melodies created from samples of scraping and bashing large springs and metal sculptures, resulting in a gritty and edgy sound. The album features war drums by Dave NATO from 4th Wall and prominently includes the Blaster Beam, a loud and aggressive instrument. The lyrics explore the impact of new technology on personal interactions, access to factual news, the widening class system, and emerging underclass.

Bellhead, a post-punk duo from Chicago, IL, USA,, will be releasing their highly anticipated EP ‘Good Intentions’ on May 5th, across all platforms.

‘Good Intentions’ features six new songs that explore a pop sensibility while giving nods to New Order and a wink to Jesus and Mary Chain. The lead single “Valentine” evokes Depeche Mode synth lines and Placebo style bass grooves while exploring the themes of loss and hope or death and forgiveness. The EP includes other songs like “Bad Taste” and “Into the Deep”, which tackle topics like unsavory stalkers, unreliable narrators, and blood-thirsty sirens at sea. The EP’s second half includes Bellhead’s take on Love and Rockets’ hit “No Big Deal”.
Bellhead’s previous surprise single, a cover of Prince’s “I Would Die 4 U”, quickly gained popularity and earned over 6,000 plays on Spotify within 30 days of its release. The band has toured alongside international and national touring artists in 2022, and their 2023 spring dates include two shows with gothic acts Clan of Xymox and The Bellwether Syndicate. Afterward, they will co-headline nine dates with NYC’s coldwave artists The Clay People before ending the month of May as direct support for LA’s dark electronic duo Night Club in Chicago.
Bellhead has worked with their trusted production team to deliver ‘Good Intentions’, which includes audio engineer Neil Strauch (Iron and Wine/Counting Crows/Owls/Joan of Arc/Walking Bicycles/Slow Mass), mastering engineer Carl Saff (Acid Mothers Temple/Smoking Popes/Red Fang/Guided by Voices), and management team David Schock (WTII Records).
BELLHEAD spent 2022 touring alongside international and national touring artists Powerman 5000, Holy Wars, Then Comes Silence, The Bellwether Syndicate, Hate Dept, China Crisis, and Night Club. 2023 is even more explosive with touring plans to include two dates with legendary gothic acts Clan of Xymox and The Bellwether Syndicate as a warm up before heading back out on the road in May co-headlining nine dates with NYC’S coldwave artists, The Clay People.
