GIRLS UNDER GLASS release Backdraft on Dependent Records

Get ready to rock your socks off because the unstoppable Germans, GIRLS UNDER GLASS, are back in action! Their new studio album, “Backdraft,” is an explosive cocktail of their iconic sounds, combining gothic rock, electronic dark wave, and melodic post-punk into one glorious record.

While their music brings back nostalgic vibes from the ’80s and ’90s, these Hamburgians haven’t been snoozing on their creative laurels. They’ve upgraded their sound for the new millennium, infusing it with fresh energy and a renewed passion that shines through every note.

The album title, “Backdraft,” cleverly alludes to a phenomenon that happens during fires. Just like when a fire consumes all the oxygen in a closed space, the band’s creative fire was rekindled when they started composing new tracks for an EP. The result? A full-length album bursting with musical awesomeness.

GIRLS UNDER GLASS has fearlessly delved into dystopian themes in their lyrics, reflecting the sinister and powerful vibes of their sound. And guess what? The band’s original vocalist, Thomas “Tom” Lücke, is making a triumphant return, sharing vocal duties with current singer Volker Zacharias. Talk about a blast from the past!

Since their formation in 1986, GIRLS UNDER GLASS has been a driving force in the German gothic rock and dark wave scene. They’ve explored various musical genres, from rock to crossover and even metal, expanding their sonic horizons along the way. With a devoted fanbase and an impressive discography, their return to the spotlight is long overdue.

The wait is finally over! Brace yourself for the fiery and passionate “Backdraft” album, set to reignite GIRLS UNDER GLASS and reclaim their well-deserved throne at the top of the music world.

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”.

This is 808 POP on EvolRadio!

3Teeth release new music video for Slum Planet (feat. Mick Gordon)


Director: Matteo Santoro Visual FX : Matteo Santoro Editor : Matteo Santoro

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

ANGELSPIT’S 11TH ALBUM, ANGELSPIT’S MOST BRUTAL ALBUM TO DATE ‘THE STAR’ (‘THE BASTARD GODS’) IS KICKSTARTING NOW.


The album, set to release in August 2023, is described as Angelspit’s most brutal to date, combining industrial, cyberpunk, and electro-industrial genres.


The Kickstarter campaign offers various formats, including digital, CD, vinyl, tape, and USB. The USB version includes sample libraries, MP3 and WAV files, and a bonus experimental noise EP. Additionally, merchandise such as T-shirts, collars, patches, zines, pins, and stickers are available. You can find more details on the Kickstarter campaign here.

Four tracks from the album are already released on Spotify, which you can listen to here.

“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.

The album’s original title, “The Bastard Gods,” was redacted to “The Star” due to algorithmic restrictions. The album delves into the increasing influence of algorithms and their effects on content censorship and manipulation, referred to as “Bastard Gods.”

Angelspit, a Cyberpunk/Industrial act with a 20-year history, has released over 25 albums and produced numerous remixes. They emphasize independent innovation and encourage artists to pursue their own creative paths.

Blackbriar Releases New Song “My Soul’s Demise” and Unveils Music Video

Blackbriar, the Netherlands-based gothic/symphonic metal band, is excited to announce the release of their latest song, “My Soul’s Demise,” accompanied by a captivating music video. The band’s second full-length album is currently in the works and will feature long-time collaborator Joost van den Broek.

“My Soul’s Demise” explores the theme of love and pain, delving into the sacrifices one is willing to make for their loved ones. Inspired by the medieval practice of sin-eating, the song draws parallels between consuming sins and personal experiences. Lead vocalist Zora Cock shares her personal connection to the lyrics, which were influenced by her father’s struggles with psychosis and the story of a sin eater from England.

Listen to “My Soul’s Demise” here: Stream ‘My Soul’s Demise’


Watch the new video for ‘My Souls Demise’

The music video was filmed at a medieval 12th-century church in the Netherlands, adding to the atmospheric and fitting visuals. Blackbriar enlisted the help of their loyal patrons and even featured Zora Cock’s parents in the video, creating a personal and immersive experience.

Formed in 2012, Blackbriar has been captivating audiences with their enchanting blend of storytelling and symphonic metal. Their journey began with the release of their single “Until Eternity,” which gained widespread attention and has since garnered over 18.1 million views. The band has independently released EPs such as “Fractured Fairytales” and “Our Mortal Remains,” showcasing their ethereal and captivating sound.

Blackbriar’s growing success led to notable live performances alongside renowned bands like Epica, Halestorm, In This Moment, Delain, and Mayan. With a dedicated fanbase and a strong online presence, the band successfully crowdfunded their debut full-length album, “The Cause of Shipwreck,” in 2020. Produced by Joost van den Broek, the album further solidified Blackbriar’s reputation as masterful storytellers.

Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, Blackbriar continued to captivate audiences with sold-out shows in the Netherlands and successful tours across Europe. In 2021, they released their single “Fairy of the Bog,” blending folklore and ancient history into their signature mystical sound.

With their vision set on the future and the support of a major label, Blackbriar is poised to enchant the world with their darkly whimsical storytelling and captivating soundscapes. Having received multiple nominations for “Best Artist” at the EuroSonic/Noorderslag’s Popgala Noord Awards, and with their monthly streaming totals nearing 1 million on YouTube and Spotify, the band is ready to embark on an extraordinary journey.

MASSACRE Surprises Fans With “Submergence: Live Beyond 2019” Album and East Coast Tour


Floridian death metal legends, MASSACRE, have released a surprise live album titled “Submergence: Live Beyond 2019” today, digitally available through Nuclear Blast Records. The record showcases a monumental performance of their highly sought-after debut album, “From Beyond,” played in its entirety. The lineup features Kam Lee on vocals, Rick Rozz on guitar, Mike Borders on bass, and Mike Mazonetto on drums. Coinciding with the album release, the band is embarking on an East Coast tour with MORTA SKULD and DRUID LORD, starting tonight in Miami, FL.

MASSACRE, hailing from Southern Florida, rose to prominence in the early 80s alongside death metal pioneers like DEATH, OBITUARY, and SIX FEET UNDER. Their legacy began with a series of revered demos: “Aggressive Tyrant” (1986), “Chamber of Ages” (1986), and “The Second Coming” (1990). They later released their critically acclaimed debut album, “From Beyond” (1991). In 2021, the band made a highly anticipated return with “Resurgence.” The album showcased the original members, Kam Lee (vocals) and Mike Borders (bass), alongside renowned death metal musicians Rogga Johansson, Jonny Pettersson, Scott Fairfax, and Brynjar Helgetun, resulting in a powerful record produced by Dan Swanö and engineered by Jonny Pettersson.

Stream “Submergence: Live Beyond 2019”!!!

Vocalist Kam Lee shares his thoughts on the live record: “This release is for the fans. It’s all about fan service, dedicated to those who truly wanted it and asked for it. It’s the closest thing to the original lineup of ‘From Beyond.’ This was the first time we performed all of ‘From Beyond’ live. It marked the return of MASSACRE since their reformation in 2017, and it was also the first show with Mike Borders since 1987. It proved that MASSACRE was back, showcasing their resurgence and delving into the band’s legacy.”

CHICAGO’S POST-PUNK DUO BELLHEAD TO RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED EP ‘GOOD INTENTIONS’ ON FRIDAY MAY 5TH ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS

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

This new release comes after the band spent most of 2022 touring to support their critically acclaimed sophomore release ‘Dead Lights’.

‘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).
