🎧🎶 DAWN OF ASHES Unleashes New Album “Infecting The Scars” Today! 🎧

DAWN OF ASHES has unleashed their brand new album, “Infecting The Scars,” which is available everywhere today, June 7th, 2025! The highly anticipated release sees Kristof Bathory return the project to its aggrotech roots while pushing forward with a new level of intensity and maturity.

“Full of dark songs and deathly imagery, brought to life by demonic vocals. It’s vampiric, it’s black metal, it’s post-industrial witchcraft, driven by an infectious electronic groove. Very moreish indeed,” praises DEVOLUTION MAGAZINE (UK). ORKUS (DE) hails it as: “Past meets future on an electronic industrial metal delight that will get you on the dance floor. Each of the ten tracks can certainly hit the clubs like a bomb.” VERDAMMNIS (FR) concurs: “Refuses to stagnate while continuing to explore its universe and themes with coherence, intelligence, panache, care and personality. Blends the enthusiasm of youth with a current know-how to make aggrotech great again!”

Stream “Infecting The Scars” now on your preferred platform or via Bandcamp.

Dawn Of Ashes was founded in Los Angeles by Kristof Bathory at the turn of the millennium, the group moniker he chose suggesting ‘the beginning of the end’. Emerging from the industrial and aggrotech genres before expanding into the blackened metal and extreme industrial scenes, Bathory and his band have been a relentless force ever since, evolving and redefining the boundaries of extreme music for over two decades.

“Infecting The Scars” marks a rebirth, fusing the raw, unfiltered aggression of the past with a refined and evolved sound. Lyrically and sonically, it sees them reach a level where the songs are no longer merely anthems of destruction, but rather an exploration of psychological horror, inner demons, and the scars left behind by life’s most brutal moments. The album includes the powerful track “Visceral Rage” with an accompanying lyric video.

Embodying this evolution, the track “Hypertensive Crisis” was issued ahead of the album. It was described by Bathory as “a deliberate attempt to recapture the nostalgia of our early era while seamlessly blending it with fresh, modern elements. It showcases a fully realised version of our classic sound, reimagined with a new intensity and depth.”

A recent relocation to Denmark has also seen Dawn Of Ashes set to expand its reach, bringing the group’s visceral live performances to new territories. European tour dates are currently in the works alongside planned shows in South America, promising a global assault of chaos and horror.

“Infecting The Scars” Tracklisting:

  1. Intro – Made In Hell
  2. Infecting The Scars
  3. Bone Saw (feat. Alien Vampires)
  4. Visceral Rage
  5. Hypertensive Crisis
  6. Coma Maker
  7. Masochism
  8. Faith Desecration
  9. Throne Of Misanthropy
  10. Outro – Existential Despair

🎧🎶 ROTERSAND Unveils New Single “Private Firmament (I Fell For You)”; New Album “Don’t Become The Thing You Hated” Arrives August 8th! 🎧

The German dark electro-pop duo Rotersand has just released their new single, “Private Firmament (I Fell For You),” available today, June 7th, 2025. This powerful track serves as a preview of their highly anticipated new album, “Don’t Become The Thing You Hated,” set for release on August 8th via Metropolis Records (North America) and Trisol (Rest of World). This will be their first full-length studio record since How Do You Feel Today? in March 2020.

Explaining the meaning behind the new single, the band states: “Human nature is not binary, but algorithm-induced communication forces us to choose virtual sides to stimulate emotions and click rates. Yes or no, black or white, for or against, one or the other. Ultimately, we sit in our post-fact, post-science, post-truth private firmaments with nothing in common other than the cold light of screens pretending to shine for us. We say, leave the private firmaments and dance with us, with real faces under real stars.”

Stream “Private Firmament (I Fell For You)” in North America or Rest of World.

‘Don’t Become the Thing You Hated’ sees the Hamburg-based act (comprised of Rascal Nikov and Krischan Jan-Eric Wesenberg) return with an album that is as much a cultural critique as it is a musical statement. In a world increasingly defined by division, alienation, and existential anxiety, the duo casts a sharp eye on the psychological toll of our times and issues a warning. The message is clear: in fighting what we oppose, we risk becoming it ourselves.

Musically, the album is a masterclass in synthesis, melding sonic sophistication with visceral emotional impact. Navigating seamlessly between intricate sound design and tightly constructed rhythmic frameworks, these are layered with melodic hooks that are as intellectually engaging as they are dancefloor-ready. The album soundscape is dark yet resolutely hopeful and explores a dynamic spectrum of styles, from propulsive electro with surgically crisp beats and brooding industrial textures to anthemic, almost dreamlike interludes. Each track reveals itself as a meticulously crafted entity, constantly surprising the listener yet never straying from its emotional nucleus.

The song lyrics address themes of disillusionment, anger, and the fragile line between resistance and complicity. Indeed, the album title itself functions as a thesis statement that confronts listeners with a central dilemma of our era – how do we oppose injustice without replicating its methods or mindset? Rotersand offer no easy answers, but instead encourage a kind of inner vigilance; a conscious rejection of the very forces that threaten to erode empathy, nuance, and individual integrity.

What sets this album apart is its rare ability to operate on multiple levels. Not only is it a compelling club record, it is also a philosophical commentary on the state of the world and the psyche. The duo have crafted a work that challenges the listener to not only hear, but to think and feel more deeply. With ‘Don’t Become the Thing You Hated’, they reaffirm their position as one of the most thoughtful and forward-looking acts in the dark electronic music genre.

🎧🎶 FLESH FIELD Releases New Single “Where Angels Go To Die” – “Viral Extinction” Reissue Out June 27th! 🎧

FLESH FIELD, the acclaimed electro-industrial project led by Ian Ross, has just released a new single, “Where Angels Go To Die,” out today, May 30th. This track is lifted from a remastered reissue of their 1999 debut album, “Viral Extinction,” which is set to arrive on June 27th via Metropolis Records.

“It was written in apocalyptic language as a bleak reflection on disillusionment, spiritual decay and loss of belief,” Ross reflects. “Musically, however, it was designed to sound darkly angelic.”

About “Viral Extinction” Reissue:

“Viral Extinction” Tracklisting:

  1. Heretic
  2. Inside
  3. Overload
  4. The Plague
  5. Silicon Skies
  6. Where Angels Go To Die
  7. Prophecy
  8. My Saviour
  9. Utopia
  10. Animal
  11. Fallen Angel
  12. Cyberchrist
  13. Prophecy (Nostrothomas A23 Mix)
  14. My Saviour (Violated Beauty Remix)

About FLESH FIELD:

Flesh Field was founded in Ohio in the mid-90s by composer Ian Ross. Renowned for its widescreen cinematic sound achieved by blending synths, percussion, guitar, and sampled choir, the group’s music soon earned plaudits for its aggressive approach and subsequently featured in a number of film/TV soundtracks and video games. Having retired the name in 2011, Ross eventually relocated to Virginia, where he resurrected Flesh Field to issue an album entitled ‘Voice of the Echo Chamber’ in late 2023 and the companion piece ‘Voice Of Reason’ EP in April 2024.

Their debut album, ‘Viral Extinction’, was released three years later, earning glowing reviews for its brutal and aggressive sound, while some of its songs were subsequently remixed by several contemporaries (including scene leaders Covenant) and issued together with some new songs on the album-length ‘Redemption’ EP in 2000.

Highlighting the band’s compositional skills with bombastic symphonic elements and intricate synth and percussion programming, 2001’s ‘Belief Control’ solidified Flesh Field’s status as a band to be reckoned with. It also led to the group signing to Metropolis Records for the US release of their third album, ‘Strain’. With new layers of acoustic and electronic percussion, guitar, and choral effects added into the mix, these elements resulted in an an epic and anthemic feel to a record that was acclaimed by fans and critics alike.

Then, silence. For almost two decades, Flesh Field lay dormant, even as numerous tracks from their catalog were placed in the soundtracks of films including ‘The Mill’, TV shows such as ‘True Blood’, and video games like ‘Project Gotham Racing’. ‘Voice Of The Echo Chamber’ suddenly appeared in 2023; a concept work with each of its ten tracks representing stages of political radicalization and violence, it was followed by an album length companion piece EP entitled ‘Voice Of Reason’.

Ethereal darkwave artist Ships In The Night is set to perform for the first time at the upcoming iconic Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig, Germany.

🎧 CHAMELEONS Unleash New Single “Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing” Today – New Album “Arctic Moon” Out September 12th! 🎧

CHAMELEONS have today, May 29th, released their brand new single, ‘Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing,’ via Metropolis Records. The track is taken from their recently announced and long-awaited album, ‘Arctic Moon,’ which is now available for pre-order.

Vocalist/bassist Vox (Mark Burgess) explains the inspiration behind the new single: “I see too many echoes of the 1930s in what’s going on in the world, which I see as being extremely dangerous both for the country I’ve chosen to live in and the Western world in general.” He adds, “It was the last song to be completed for the album. I’m particularly pleased with the way it turned out, because it was our guitarist Stephen Rice who initially brought the rough idea to the table and we all then collaborated on it to produce the final song.”

‘Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing’ perfectly captures Chameleons’ innate flair for crafting exquisite guitar textures, merging them with Vox’s sharp grasp of melody and wordplay. The song delivers a dark message about the current political climate amidst its thoroughly engaging sound. Reinforcing this theme, the accompanying video splices live performance footage with kaleidoscopic images of war, its effects, and the surrounding propaganda, creating a compelling statement.

“The lyrics came to me quite quickly,” Vox explains. “They reflect what has been happening globally and how senior officials line up to kiss the rings of clowns who regard themselves as self-proclaimed kings rather than elected statesmen.”

‘Arctic Moon,’ set for release on September 12th on Metropolis Records, marks the first full-length album by Chameleons since 2001’s ‘Why Call It Anything?’ Vox concludes, “There is an obvious maturity to the songwriting on this record, and anyone familiar with our past work will hear that this is a positive step forward. While we’re proud of the band’s legacy, we really wanted to forge something fresh while retaining that profound and imaginative quality we’re known for. We think that we have managed to do that and deliver a very strong record!”

The band will continue to tour extensively around the album release, with dates in Spain and Portugal from June 6th-19th, followed by a set at the Forever Now festival in Milton Keynes on June 22nd. They will then return to the US for headlining shows and a dozen dates with The Psychedelic Furs commencing on June 26th. A further headlining tour of North American cities kicks off two weeks after the release of ‘Arctic Moon’, with mainland European dates in Germany and the Benelux scheduled from late October, ahead of a previously announced UK tour in November.

All concert and ticket info can be found here.

About The Chameleons:

Long cited as a hugely influential act, inspiring bands like (The) Verve, Oasis, Interpol, The Killers, Editors, and White Lies, Chameleons are renowned for their transformative catalog and intense, emotionally charged live performances. Their legacy extends far beyond their four studio albums to date. Their widely acclaimed debut, ‘Script of the Bridge’ (1983), has been cited by many as a masterpiece ahead of its time, followed by ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically!’ (1984), ‘Strange Times’ (1986), and ‘Why Call It Anything?’ (2001).

Their unique sound quickly captivated audiences with its mix of melancholic yet energetic and powerful tunes, hypnotic, ethereal riffs, and a potent, timeless lyrical style. They are considered one of the most influential guitar bands of the ‘80s and ‘90s, contributing substantially to the post-punk, shoegaze, and indie scenes.

2024 saw the release of two EPs that kicked off a new chapter for the band: ‘Where Are You?’, consisting of three new songs, and ‘Tomorrow Remember Yesterday,’ featuring five re-recorded archive tracks. ‘Arctic Moon’ sees them propelling forward musically while retaining the essence that originally made them iconic.

“Arctic Moon” Tracklisting:

  1. Where Are You?
  2. Lady Strange
  3. Feels Like The End Of The World
  4. Free Me
  5. Magnolia
  6. David Bowie Takes My Hand
  7. Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing

🎧 KMFDM Announces “HAU RUCK 2025” Reissue – Remixed & Remastered for 20th Anniversary! 🎧

KMFDM is set to re-release their classic fourteenth album, “HAU RUCK,” on May 23rd, 2025, via Metropolis Records. This special 20th-anniversary edition, titled “HAU RUCK 2025,” has been completely remixed and remastered, and will be available on 2xLP, CD, and digital formats. Fans can get an early taste with the newly available audio for ‘FREE YOUR HATE’.

The original “HAU RUCK” was recorded in Seattle and released in 2005. Following their industrial/metal assault with 2003’s ‘WWIII’, KMFDM sought a fresh direction. Band leader Sascha Konietzko expressed the desire for something “more noisy, more dance-y, more electronic, and less butt rock.” The album’s concept was playfully dubbed FUBAR – ‘Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition/Repair’ – reflecting their aim to push boundaries.

From the politically charged anthems of ‘Free Your Hate’ and ‘New American Century’ to the grimly emotional grooves of ‘Real Thing’; from the confrontational dancefloor venom of ‘Ready to Blow’ and ‘Professional Killer’; and encompassing a swinging cover of Jacques Dutronc’s ‘Mini Mini Mini’ and the self-effacing snark of ‘Feed Our Fame’, the album proved anything but FUBAR. It showcased KMFDM at its most concentrated, sharply focused, and aggressive, imploring audiences to fight corruption and embrace individuality. The powerful German phrase ‘HAU RUCK’ (meaning ‘Heave Ho’) perfectly captured this defiant spirit.

The original lineup for ‘HAU RUCK’ included:

  • Sascha Konietzko – vocals, synthesizers, sequencers, engineering
  • Lucia Cifarelli – vocals
  • Jules Hodgson – guitars, bass, programming, engineering
  • Andy Selway – drums, programming
  • Steve White – guitars, programming
  • Mina Stolle – trumpet on ‘Auf Wiederseh’n’

“HAU RUCK 2025” Tracklist:

  1. FREE YOUR HATE
  2. HAU RUCK
  3. YOU’RE NO GOOD
  4. NEW AMERICAN CENTURY
  5. REAL THING
  6. EVERY DAY’S A GOOD DAY
  7. MINI MINI MINI
  8. PROFESSIONAL KILLER
  9. FEED OUR FAME
  10. READY TO BLOW
  11. AUF WIEDERSEH’N

KMFDM Biography

Hamburg-based industrial rock pioneers KMFDM have carved out a unique path since their founding by Sascha ‘Käpt’n K’ Konietzko in 1984. They’ve continuously refined and redefined modern music while boldly addressing social and political issues. After early albums recorded in Germany, the band moved to the US and gained widespread recognition with Chicago-based Wax Trax! Records.

The 1990s saw KMFDM become a household name in the global industrial rock scene. Their 1995 hit ‘Juke Joint Jezebel’ propelled them onto the Billboard charts and earned them placements on film soundtracks like ‘Bad Boys’ and ‘Mortal Kombat’. Future titans such as Rammstein and Korn even started their careers opening for KMFDM tours.

After a hiatus in 1999 following their tenth album for Wax Trax!, Konietzko resurrected KMFDM three years later, signing with Metropolis Records. This new era featured American singer Lucia Cifarelli (from Drill) and Tim Skold (who later joined Marilyn Manson). Konietzko and Cifarelli returned to Germany in 2008 and have consistently recorded and toured. Their most recent album, ‘LET GO’, released in 2024, coincided with the group’s 40th anniversary.

🎯🔗 MARI KATTMAN Fires “Sharp Shooter” Today! New Album “Year Of The Katt” Locked for June 20th! 🎧🖤



The captivating electronic musician and vocalist Mari Kattman, known for her integral role in the duo Helix and her compelling solo work, unleashes her brand new single, “Sharp Shooter,” today, Friday, May 16th, 2025, via Metropolis Records. This electrifying track serves as the second tantalizing glimpse into her upcoming full-length solo debut for the label (and third overall), aptly titled “Year Of The Katt,” which is slated for release on June 20th.

“‘Sharp Shooter’ explores the theme of an intelligent soul that navigates to painful circumstances for the chance to grow. No shots missed,” states Kattman, hinting at the track’s blend of introspective depth and sonic precision. The single follows her recent release, “Anemia,” a track that drew a stark parallel between vampiric exploitation and the debilitating weakness often experienced by those living with the condition.

Regarding the upcoming “Year Of The Katt” album, Kattman reveals the intensely personal journey of its creation: “Finishing it was a truly herculean effort. It was an album completely recorded, composed and produced by myself, so there were a lot of learning curves and things I needed to sort out before I was truly happy with the end product. I feel relief and enormously proud that I got it done.” This self-sufficient approach underscores Kattman’s artistic vision and unwavering dedication to her craft.

A prominent figure in today’s electronic music landscape, Mari Kattman has been a dynamic force since 2012, consistently writing, recording, producing, and performing her unique sonic creations. Her impressive resume boasts collaborations with a veritable who’s who of the scene, including Assemblage 23, Mesh, Ivardensphere, Jean-Marc Lederman, Psy’Aviah, Aesthetiche, Neuroticfish, BlackCarBurning, Cassetter, This Morn Omina, Solitary Experiments, Mephisto Walz, Aiboforcen, and Interface, showcasing her remarkable vocal versatility.

However, Kattman’s extensive vocal contributions for these esteemed acts only hint at her own considerable talents as a songwriter and producer. Previous singles such as ‘Fever Shakes’, ‘URGOD.AI’ and ‘Swallow’ have already demonstrated her knack for crafting irresistibly catchy electronic songs, tailor-made for the dance floor, where elements of Trap, Hip Hop, Electro, Ambient, EBM, and Industrial music seamlessly intertwine with her powerfully distinctive voice. “Sharp Shooter” promises to be another bullseye in her expanding sonic arsenal, further solidifying her position as a compelling and innovative artist.

DAWN OF ASHES Drops New Single “HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS” Ahead of Upcoming Album

Los Angeles-founded industrial act DAWN OF ASHES, the project of Kristof Bathory since the turn of the millennium, has unleashed their new single, “HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS,” today, April 18th, 2025, via Metropolis Records.

Links to access the single are available for WAV, MP3, streaming platforms, Bandcamp, and the official music video on YouTube:



DAWN OF ASHES – HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS – OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO (Radio Version).

This new track is a precursor to their forthcoming album, “INFECTING THE SCARS,” set to be released on June 6th, 2025.

Formed with a moniker suggesting ‘the beginning of the end,’ Dawn Of Ashes initially emerged from the industrial and aggrotech scenes, later incorporating blackened metal and extreme industrial elements. For over two decades, Bathory and the band have consistently pushed the boundaries of extreme music.

Relocating to Denmark, the upcoming album “Infecting The Scars” marks a return to Dawn Of Ashes’ aggrotech roots, infused with a heightened level of intensity and maturity. It is described as a rebirth, blending past aggression with a refined modern sound. The lyrics and sound delve into psychological horror, inner turmoil, and the scars left by life’s harsh experiences, moving beyond mere destructive anthems.

Regarding the new single, “Hypertensive Crisis,” Kristof Bathory states it’s a conscious effort to “recapture the nostalgia of our early era while seamlessly blending it with fresh, modern elements. Evolution and maturity – both in sound and lyrics – are crucial to the creative process. Artistic growth has allowed this project to delve deeper, delivering more meaningful lyrics that evoke horror through the lens of psychosis. This song is a perfect example, showcasing a fully realised version of our classic sound, reimagined with a new intensity and depth.”

The move to Denmark also signals an expansion of Dawn Of Ashes’ live presence, with European tour dates in development alongside planned shows in Mexico, promising widespread chaos and horror.

INFECTING THE SCARS TRACKLISTING:

  1. Intro – Made In Hell
  2. Infecting The Scars
  3. Bone Saw (feat. Alien Vampires)
  4. Visceral Rage
  5. Hypertensive Crisis
  6. Coma Maker
  7. Masochism
  8. Faith Desecration
  9. Throne Of Misanthropy
  10. Outro – Existential Despair

EISBRECHER – ‘Everything Is Wunderbar’ : brand new single by German chart-topping industrial hard rock band out today | new album out March 2025

“Nichts ist mehr so wie’s immer war / Hauptsache everything is wunderbar.”
(“Nothing is the way it always was / The main thing is that everything is wonderful.”)

Eisbrecher, one of Germany’s most iconic and provocative rock bands, roars back with their powerful new single, “Everything Is Wunderbar.” With biting commentary and unapologetic energy, this track heralds a bold return for frontman Alexander Wesselsky and his crew.

As winter tightens its grip, the icy anthem blasts through the frost, serving as a rallying cry against complacency and apathy. With their signature mix of crushing guitars, fiery synths, and thunderous drums, Eisbrecher delivers a track steeped in cynicism and raw power—a defiant anthem for these turbulent times.

A Soundtrack for a Frozen World

Global warming may heat the planet, but Eisbrecher turns up the chill with a sound that mirrors the coldness creeping into our hearts and societies. “Everything Is Wunderbar” doesn’t just critique—it confronts.

Wesselsky’s razor-sharp lyrics cut deep:
“Wir liegen uns zu Füßen / Wir denken megagroß / Wir graden unser Leben up / Und jagen alles hoch.”
(“We lie at each other’s feet / We think mega-big / We upgrade our lives / And drive everything up.”)

Through relentless riffs and electrifying beats, Eisbrecher exposes the cracks in our self-obsessed, hedonistic culture. It’s a wake-up call wrapped in an unrelenting sonic assault.

Introducing Kaltfront

“Everything Is Wunderbar” is the first taste of Eisbrecher’s upcoming album, Kaltfront—a manifesto against stagnation, indifference, and the obsession with self-optimization. This album promises to eclipse even their celebrated past.

With more than 20 years of groundbreaking music, Eisbrecher continues to evolve while holding a mirror to society. Their last two albums, Sturmfahrt (2017) and Liebe macht Monster (2021), both topped the German charts. Known for their seismic live performances, Eisbrecher consistently proves why they remain titans of German rock.

VV & The Void Unveil Haunting New Video for “It Is Happening Again”

VV & The Void has released a mesmerizing video for the track “It Is Happening Again”, taken from their spellbinding album The Cage, which debuted earlier this year. Frontwoman and visionary Valentina Veil describes the track as “a love song with a bittersweet feel—the last dance of hearts once in sync. Love fades, leaving empty spaces, and it’s hard to escape. Perhaps, in the end, we don’t really want to.” With poignant lyrics like “your lips still warm, the kiss before the fall”, the song captures a lingering sadness alongside a nostalgic yearning for what could have been.

The surreal and otherworldly video, created by LA-based filmmaker Sarah Bitely, perfectly complements the track’s emotional weight. Through striking phantasmagoric imagery, the video explores a realm where time and space defy logic, mirroring the song’s themes of love, loss, and longing.

Formed in Melbourne, Australia, VV & The Void made a powerful debut in 2018 with the critically lauded album The Upper Room. Known for their ethereal, gothic, and minimal-drone sound, their music explores the balance between grace and disproportion. Now based in Berlin, Valentina Veil has continued to carve an impressive path in the darkwave genre with a string of standout releases, frequent European performances, and collaborations with Metropolis Records artists like Night Nail.

Their latest album, The Cage, is available via Paris-based Icy Cold Records on vinyl, CD, and all major digital platforms.

TERMINAL Unveils “The New Republic” Album via Metropolis Records

Following the highly acclaimed debut “Blacken the Skies” (2021), TERMINAL refines their industrial glam formula with a touch of “more industrial, more glam.” Noteworthy lyricist Thomas Mark Anthony elevates the genre, crafting intricate rhymes and anthemic choruses around themes of power, zealotry, and corruption. Building on the previous album’s critique of society’s hypocrites, the album kicks off with the compelling line “How many guns would Jesus buy?” The title and theme of the album, inspired by Plato’s Republic, delve into the idea that an unjust society is doomed, and democracy alone is insufficient against demagogues and tyrants. Enriching the mix is Anthony’s resonant baritone, while the lyrics delve into existential topics of religion and mortality, appealing particularly to the Goth community.

Dedicated to Dave Heckman, the album features tracks like:

  • “Asymmetric Warfare” (1:11)
  • “The Sin of the Sanctified [v4b]” (3:52)
  • “Smart Weapons” (4:50)
  • “Did We Ask For Truth” (4:09)
  • “[Redacted]” (1:05)
  • “Don’t Be Taken Alive” (4:14)
  • “The New Republic” (5:02)
  • “Paradoxical Reactions” (1:17)
  • “Fall of the Reign” (5:46)
  • “Dirty River [Necrosis]” (4:06)
  • “Testify” (4:21)
  • “Disproportionate Response” (1:16)
  • “Rise”

Get ready to explore the sonic world of “The New Republic” and experience TERMINAL’s intricate themes and captivating soundscape.

Metropolis Records and Zanias Join Forces to Unleash Chrysalis, an Electrifying Journey of Genre-Defying Art Pop!

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.
