AUFRESIGNATION AUFRESIGNATION

AUFRESIGNATION - AUFRESIGNATION

AUFREGEN und RESIGNIEREN liegen oft nah beieinander, oder anders gesagt: Auf AUFREGUNG und Rebellion folgt nicht selten RESIGNATION. Diese bipolare Pendelbewegung vom Aufbegehren zum Aufgeben, von der Manie zur Depression, vom Rausch zum Kater hat der Augsburger Gitarr...

Bassenger Medwed Stadlmeier distanz stillstand überwindung

Bassenger Medwed Stadlmeier - distanz stillstand überwindung

BRAINQUAKE + SVEN PHALANX - INNERER KRIEG

'Interior war' (that's the translation of the German title) may seem like an ephemeral problem in times of actual, military war – yet it is very well possible that the dark electro labyrinths of this release don't just refer to the interior struggles of ind...

BU.D.D.A. Diese Anmut von Trophäen

BU.D.D.A. - Diese Anmut von Trophäen

Bu.d.d.A. (Bund des dritten Auges) was born accidentally – in a dark room in Barcelona. It evolved quietly until Sascha Stadlmeier (EMERGE) and Chris Sigdell (B°TONG) took Bu.d.d.A. on the road and started to take the project seriously. This resulted not only ...

CARSTEN VOLLMER - ARBEIT NUMMER 23 - ICH ARBEITE MIT FREQUENZEN - Teil 1 - Ansteigend

Album titles consisting of complete sentences are rare in the noise genre. Even more so if they begin with “I”. One cannot help but imagine the title of Carsten Vollmer's album trilogy, due to be released on thr...

CHAOTALION Tannenholzrauch

CHAOTALION - Tannenholzrauch

Dark fir woods and weird pentagram-esque runes on the cover: How can the contents of this album not be a clichéd, possibly black-metal influenced rendition of the idiotic “stay true to the soil” creed? Well, Alexander Marco has succeeded in tricking us all. His music...

Doc Wör Mirran featuring Adrian Gormley - Schnulz
