2ND FACE releases utOpium on Dependent Records

Hold onto your hats, folks, because the German sensation 2ND FACE is back and ready to blow your mind! After their debut album “Nemesis” rocked the scene in 2017, expectations were sky-high for their sophomore release. Well, brace yourselves because mastermind Vincent Uhlig has not only met those expectations but surpassed them with his mind-blowing album “utOpium.”

This sound magician, who also happens to be a certified audio engineering genius, has created a masterpiece that’s not just ear candy for audiophiles, but also a showcase of exceptional songwriting and lyrical depth. “utOpium” is transparent, detailed, aggressive, and powerful—a perfect fit for the industrial genre that 2ND FACE dominates. Uhlig has poured five years of blood, sweat, and tears into this beast of an album, paying homage to the industrial scene’s history while carving his own unique path.

Lyrically, “utOpium” takes you on a journey deep into the human mind, exploring self-awareness and reflecting society’s fragmented state. In a world hypnotized by (social) media and ignoring climate change and war, 2ND FACE holds up a subtle mirror to wake us all up.

Formed by Vincent Uhlig in the captivating city of Mainz, Germany, in 2014, 2ND FACE quickly caught the industry’s attention with a string of demos and their self-released single “First of His Name.” Their 2017 debut album “Nemesis” was hailed as the “newcomer of the year,” impressing critics and fans alike. The EP “Nihilum” solidified their rising star status in the industrial sky.

“utOpium” is not just a leap in quality—it’s a quantum jump that will set the benchmark for the industrial genre for years to come. So, gear up, put on your headphones, and crank up those speakers because “utOpium” is about to detonate in your ears!

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!

https://youtube.com/watch?v=BMfwDoDWbB8%3Fcontrols%3D0
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

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.

“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.

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.

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).

Goth Pop band Metamorph founded in 2016 by songstress and witch Margot Day, wanting to escape the opressive urban lifestyle., and re-align with her connection to nature.

Metamorph is a musical entry into other dimensions via song and dance, a vortex of melody and throbbing rhythms capable of awakening human potential.  Margot Day’s multi-range vocals, mastery of the flute and catchy melodies are irresistible, creating a magical potion with Alchemist producer Erik Gustafason on these new Metamorph songs. “Sigils & Spirals” dropped in 2020, “Ether” 2017, and “The 4 Elements” 2017. 

Metamorph’s “Kiss of the Witch” Album featuring the title track dropped 9/21/2022 on the fall equinox.“Witchlit” dropped 3/7 on the full moon –  first single off the Metamorph album that drops Fall 2023.

Performances as a solo, duo, and a full band featuring Margot Day have included Kurtis Knight, drummer Joe Netzel, sword and belly dancer Rivqah Cas. 

Metamorph is “music for morphing”. Inviting the listener to welcome change and “become the wave, the witch, the butterfly, the wizard, the phoenix…”.

Nuclear Blast Records Presents:

THY ART IS MURDER RELEASES THE SECOND SINGLE FROM THE AGGRESSION SESSIONS
“UNTIL THERE IS NO LONGER”



Nuclear Blast is proud to announce the 6-song mini album The Aggression Sessions featuring THY ART IS MURDER, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, and MALEVOLENCE which will be available digitally on April 7th and on CD + Vinyl on July 21st, 2023 via Nuclear Blast.

Today, THY ART IS MURDER releases the second single from the EP entitled, “Until There Is No Longer”.


The Aggression Sessions is the follow-up to 2016’s The Depression Sessions and follows the same 6-song mini album where each band offers an original single and a cover song. For this session, THY ART IS MURDER is covering Cannibal Corpse and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY is covering At The Gates whereas MALEVOLENCE is handling a song by American singer Anastacia.

THY ART IS MURDER and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY make the following joint statement:

“Before we had even completed work on ‘The Depressions Sessions’ we knew a lifelong friendship had been forged between THY ART IS MURDER and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, and that we would have to do another variation of the project. ‘The Aggression Sessions’ concept was born almost immediately following the completion of the first iteration but has taken many years to finally find the time to record and release it amidst the chaotic touring and music release schedules of both bands. We wanted to take things back to some of our favorite inspirations for writing and performing heavy and aggressive music this time, encapsulating the tone of the EP title. We hope everyone enjoys!

Joining us for round 2, please welcome MALEVOLENCE into the series. Much love to The Acacia Strain, and thank you to them for being a part of this lineage. Check out their new forthcoming record as well!

Working with friends and peers and avoiding the pitfalls of competitiveness has always been the most rewarding part of being in a band, so as always thank you for the support and opportunity to have this platform. See you all on the road soon!”



Below is the tracklisting for The Aggression Sessions:
1. Hellions – FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY
2. Until There Is No Longer – THY ART IS MURDER
3. Waste Of Myself – MALEVOLENCE
4. Under A Serpent Sun (At The Gates Cover) – FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY
5. Hammer Smashed Face (Cannibal Corpse Cover) – THY ART IS MURDER
6. Left Outside Alone (Anastacia Cover) – MALEVOLENCE


The Aggression Sessions will be available in the following formats:

  • CD jewel case
  • Vinyl
    • Grey Brown Swirl w/ Black Splatter
      • NUCLEAR BLAST USA/EU + Retail
    • Clear w/ Silver Red Brown Splatter

    • Red w/ Silver Brown Splatter
      • THY ART IS MURDER exclusive, limited to 1,000 copies
    • Silver w/ Red Brown Splatter

MALEVOLENCE’s Wilkie Robinson adds, “New Jersey to Australia to Sheffield! it was an absolute pleasure to be involved in this big international metal link-up and a great opportunity for us to have fun creatively outside of the usual expectations. Shout out to Eliran Kantor for killing the artwork and Nuclear Blast for making it all happen.”
