Welcome to our weekly round-up of forthcoming releases.
MIND.IN.A.BOX move back to their roots with "R.E.T.R.O.", an homage to the days when they sat in front of their C64s, baffled by the amazing sounds that came out of it. On "R.E.T.R.O." they cover computer game classics and mix them with their own songs to deliver an album that holds a neat balance between the experimental and the much appreciated quality and identity that MIND.IN.A.BOX are known for.
Peter Spilles and Jinxy clobber you, blow after blow, around the ears with one hammering slab of electro after the other, as SANTA HATES YOU return with their new album "Crucifix Powerbomb". Stomping beats, driving sequencers, apocalyptic sounds and aggressive but seductive vocals all blend into a veritable inferno of condensed strength.
Radiant, vibrant and beguiling. Shimmering, fascinating and mysterious. "The Death of Romance" from ZEROMANCER shines in the darkness like the aurora borealis. Dark romantic ballads with stunning hook lines in the form of driving, modern industrial rock. A limited collector's set is also available with a T-shirt.
Captured on their sold out worldwide tour, "Pandemonium (Live at the O2 Arena)" is a two disc CD and DVD release that sees the PET SHOP BOYS at the height of their powers. Featuring songs from 2009's critically acclaimed "Yes" album plus all their greatest hits, "Pandemonium" is the definitive live PET SHOP BOYS experience. MNS offer - available with the Limited 2CD version of "Yes" at a very special price whilst stocks last!!
This 2CD edition of "Shallow Life" is being released to coincide with LACUNA COIL's Jan/Feb UK tour. It comes with an extended booklet and disc 2 includes 11 tracks (a mixture of studio, live and acoustic recordings), the majority of which are previously unreleased.
A selection of limited vinyl releases now, starting with "Today I Want to Catch Clouds", a new limited 7" release by DER BLUTHARSCH, in collaboration with WHITE HILLS from NYC. "The Dream/Fröleichen So Well Wir" is the first ALL NEW recording by BLOOD AXIS after many years, here sharing a 7" with the British folk singer and song writer ANDREW KING - a limited edition of strictly 500 copies. SONNE HAGAL's latest album "Jordansfrost" is now finally available as a vinyl version, and there's also a new 7" vinyl single, "Läuthner 2a", supported by the excellent Matt Howden (SIEBEN). Both are limited editions of 500 copies.
THE GIRL & THE ROBOT are a German-Swedish Electro collaboration that has set out to merge the warmth of human emotions with the calculating reservation of synthetic intelligence, to create a modern electronic fairytale. The duo offer the double feature single "Whole/Flowers", uniting COVENANT's elegance with CLIENT's sexy style.
CONCRETE LUNG's "Waste of Flesh" is seven tracks of perpetually evolving death industrial, transcending the limitations of the musical gene pool they crawled from. Incorporating elements of early PITCHSHIFTER, MINISTRY and SKINNY PUPPY, "Waste of Flesh" sees the band combine their influences and spit them back out as lethal shards of dissonance.

| Mind.In.A.Box | R.E.T.R.O | £12.75 | ||
 |
Review Spring 1982. The American computer company Commodore releases the first really potent home computer, impressing the growing computer community with technical specifications like 64 Kilobytes RAM and an 8 bit processor with separate graphic andsound chip units: The Commodore 64. This device opened a whole new world for home computer users, it became the world's most popular and successful home computer of the 80s and still holds that title today. The reason was not only a separate cutting-edge graphic accelerator that enabled high resolution gaming and fluent scrolling, but also the unique SID sound chip which was equipped with modern sound effect generators and the capability of three-track polyphonic playback. The result was a new synthetic sound aesthetic which also made the C64 one of the first stand-alone synthetic music production devices. This unique sound kept ringing in the memory of Austrian Stefan Poiss, founder and singer of MIND.IN.A.BOX. He was intrigued by the catchiness and the different sound-design of early computer game classics like "Lightforce" and "Last Ninja 3". By the age of 12 he took his first steps in composing music on the C64, and even wrote his own sequencer music software for the Commodore to put tracks together himself with more ease. Fast forward to 2009: MIND.IN.A.BOX have just finished their successful album trilogy "Lost Alone", in which they redefined electronic music sound design. Their version of techno pop gains them sublicenses and successful releases in North America as well as in Russia and has already built them a considerable fan base. Now they move back to their own roots with "R.E.T.R.O.", an homage to the days when they sat in front of their C64s, baffled by the amazing sounds that came out of it. On "R.E.T.R.O." they cover computer game classics like "Lightforce" and "The Last V8" - the Mind.In.A.Box way - and mix them with their own songs: compositions like the incredibly catchy "8Bit" meet the symphonic "Whatever Mattered", and deliver an album that holds a neat balance between experimental and the much appreciated quality and identity that MIND.IN.A.BOX are known for so far. But most importantly, they manage to combine their own sound design with the fascination of the 80s videogame soundtrack era. The CD's booklet also holds explanations from Stefan Poiss and sidekick Markus Hadwiger on what fascinated them about the Commodore 64 video game aesthetics, and how this transformed them into electronic music software creators themselves. As such it also holds interesting insights into what makes MIND.IN.A.BOX special as an electronic band and why their sound developed the way it did. As an additional goodie, the booklet holds a code for additional bonus tracks to download from the band's website. Format CD Tracklisting 01. Last Ninja 3 02. Lightforce 03. The Last V8 04.

| Santa Hates You | Crucifix Powerbomb | £13.75 | ||
 |
Review The fooling about has finished: now it's time to get serious! SANTA HATES YOU pin you to the mat with the power of "Crucifix Powerbomb". Loud, threatening, danceable, passionate and brutish. For the title of their new album, Peter Spilles (PROJECT PITCHFORK) and Jinxy have chosen nothing less than the name of a finishing wrestling move, and no other description could be more fitting for the dark, apocalyptic, aggressive yet at the same time seductive music which presents itself on the disc. Stomping beats, driving sequencers, apocalyptic sounds and aggressive but seductive vocals all blend into a veritable inferno of condensed strength. Whoever thought that SANTA HATES YOU were a cute tuppenny playground soft toy combatant, albeit a little weirder, will finally be taught a lesson. Hammering electro explodes undiluted from the speakers, club stompers follow one after the other, just like the quick strike and move sequence of a wrestling match. Just as colourful, just as iridescent, just as unrestrained... Peter Spilles and Jinxy clobber you, blow after blow. around the ears with one hammering slab of electro after the other, and at the end, someone will remain lying on the mat. This much is certain: it won't be SANTA HATES YOU! Let the dancefloor of your club become the ring. Get set for the match. Because only the really tough will be able to withstand this sweat-inducing, loud and merciless duel. Are you ready? Let's get ready to rumble! Format CD Digipak Tracklisting 01.

| Zeromancer | The Death of Romance | £13.75 | ||
 |
Review Who would have dared to hope that there would ever again be an album which could unite melancholy sadness and with a rock sound in such an absolutely perfect and catchy fashion? This is an album which simply takes one's breath away. So full of beauty, so full of melancholy and yet so full of unbridled rock power. With "Sinners International", the lads from the north proved that they had once more recaptured the essence of their own debut. Radiant, vibrant and beguiling. Shimmering, fascinating and mysterious. "The Death of Romance" shines in the darkness like the aurora borealis. Back to the beginning and yet at the same time forward-looking. Dark romantic ballads with stunning hook lines in the form of driving, modern industrial rock. ZEROMANCER are a new and perfect unity of sex, emotion and energy. Rock music is finally that which it always should have been. Unaffected and impressive, for girls and boys. On the one hand, with a tear in the eye, full of yearning; on the other going crazy for the pounding drums and loud electric guitars. Never has one needed to be so unembarrassed about one's feelings as with this powerful romantic rock album. "The Death of Romance" is a flawless construction of sweat-inducing industrial rock with a large dollop of emotion. Format CD Digipak Tracklisting 01. 2.6.25 02. Industrypeople 03.

| Blood Axis / Andrew King | The Dream/Fröleichen So Well Wir | £12.75 | ||
 |
Review The first ALL NEW recording by BLOOD AXIS after many years, here sharing a 7" with the British folk singer and song writer Andrew King. The overall theme of this release is the prose of the German middle ages. BLOOD AXIS interpret a "Minnelied" by Walther von der Vogelweide, who lived during the 12th /13th century and proposed to be the most important German speaking poet of that time. ANDREW KING interprets a song by Oswald von Wolkenstein, who lived during the same period, and who stands as the an example of a knight. Both songs are sung in their original language: "Mittelhochdeutsch", the language of the literature of that time. It is quite interesting to hear how well both interpreters are able to pronounce this difficult old language and how well their own music fits to those lyrics. An outstanding release that shows that it is possibile to work with tradition in an educating and entertaining way. Limited edition of strictly 500 copies. Format Limited 7" Vinyl Tracklisting 01.

| The Girl and the Robot | Whole/Flowers | £6.75 | ||
 |
Review Do androids dream of electric sheep? Does the tin man hide a heart somewhere inside his metallic cavity? And how human can a machine actually be? Questions like these make up the fascinating universe of THE GIRL & THE ROBOT, a German-Swedish Electro collaboration that has set out to merge the warmth of human emotions with the calculating reservation of synthetic intelligence, to create a modern electronic fairytale. As a first result of this prolific companionship between machine man Deadbeat and the personified temptation Plastique, the duo offer the double feature single "Whole/Flowers" on which they wander effortlessly along the thin red line between unleashed passion and classy confidentiality. Plastique's voice is as seductive and intoxicating as the aura of the tantalizing singer herself, sweeping over the songs like a lascivious kiss that would even turn an emotionless robot into a hot-blooded lover. This eye-opening and sense-reeling feeling can be experienced over and over again on this EP, whose warming vocals break the synthetically caused coolness like icicles melting in the warming sun of spring, thereby creating hypnotizing and vibrant electro dew drops. One thing is certain: even an Android will only dream of Plastique's beauty henceforth after having laid eyes on her alluring form and having listened to her conjuring voice for one single moment. THE GIRL & THE ROBOT unite COVENANT's elegance with CLIENT's sexy style, and with melancholic tracks like "Howling Winter" they also pledge allegiance to the solitary soundscapes of LADYTRON and RÖYKSOPP. As a result, the atmosphere of a nocturnal metropolis merges with a soft longing to create a gripping listening experience that even transcends the boundaries of the named artists: On "Whole/Flowers", the Scandinavian robot and his long-legged beauty convey the message that the seemingly paradoxical similarity between girl and robot only exists in our heads. Humans or machines... aren't we all creatures searching for comfort, freedom and love? With remixes by DIE PERLEN and JAVELYNN FATE (the new project of former ASHBURY HEIGHTS stunner Yasmine Uhlin) on board, THE GIRL & THE ROBOT head for the future, entering a new era of the relationship between man and machine.

| Luxury Stranger | Desolation | £10.75 | ||
 |
Review "This material recalls the decadence of JOY DIVISION, BRIAN ENO and THE CURE with a pinch of SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES... sound good so far? We thought so. This type of nostalgia is central to the LUXURY STRANGER sound - it's got a mournful temper, and it's dark and tastefully rocky. Embedded within this quirky sound there exists a deep desire to evoke those old times and to revive the ancient spirit of Goth from the early 80s. This is an album for fans of traditional new wave and post-punk. The tunes are warm and wistful; the whole production is homogenous and somehow true in these uncertain times.... the sound still manages to come across as vibrant and very relevant."

| Concrete Lung | Waste of Flesh | £6.00 | ||
 |
Review They say the road to Hell is paved with good intention, but for CONCRETE LUNG the path is littered with eroding breeze blocks and rusting steel skeletons. A malignant tumour blighting the urban sprawl, CONCRETE LUNG's corrosive sonic assault is the scream of a disenfranchised generation. Promised the technology to change the world only to see it abused by those in power, the high-def drip-feed of humanity's suffering is available to view 24/7. An internalised revolution, "Waste Of Flesh" is seven tracks of perpetually evolving death industrial, transcending the limitations of the musical gene pool they crawled from. Moving forward from the core electronica of their "The Dawn Of X" debut, Concrete Lung now wield a more brutal, more abrasive sound that bleeds forth across the more extreme ends of the musical spectrum. Incorporating elements of early PITCHSHIFTER, MINISTRY and SKINNY PUPPY, "Waste Of Flesh" sees the band combine their influences and spit them back out as lethal shards of dissonance. From the tribal drums that build to a hypnotic crescendo on the title track to the guitar napalm of "Breathe in the Monochrome" and the doom-grind that defines "Pyre Burns", CONCRETE LUNG continually seek to expand and refine their sound. CONCRETE LUNG are Ed Oxime, formely of UK industrial scumpunks KATSCAN, and William Riever, a relapsed Australian. Format MCD Tracklisting 01. Breathe in the Monochrome 02. Recovery Position 03.

| Atomine Elektrine | Archimetrical Universe [Re-Mixed] | £16.25 | ||
 |
Review Re-mixed version of "Archimetrical Universe", including the bonus tracks from the extra limited CDr boxed version of the album "Nebulous". This edition comes in a nice digipak with new design. Peter Andersson (RAISON D' ÊTRE, STRATVM TERROR, SVASTI-AYANAM, NECROPHORUS) is one of a handful of the finest sound manipulators in the world. "Archimetrical Universe" showcases Peter's dissection of the sky, a Caesarean Section that births massive, geometrically perfect sonic diversions, all spheres and angles, burnished metal dreams and pristine sonic caresses that reconfigure sound into smooth surfaces. To counterbalance the exactness of the sonic development, light rhythms emerge, huge slabs of disruptive tone, the scattered remnants of all of Peter's projects utilized in the creation of the music here. Everything seems to be in perpetual motion, evolving, revolving, reinvented at the mercy of Peter's deft hands and devious whim. The clarity of production and meticulous restructuring of the known (space, stars, planets) with the unknown (space...stars...planets...) only heightens the journey upon which he guides us, an alluring venture into the cavernous realm of space... but not a space most of us would imagine. Whether he is sonically scrubbing the architecture, or just mesmerizing us with another sound sculpture at the edge of forever, "Archimetrical Universe" is, quite possibly, Peter's finest release yet. And that's saying a lot because his sonic portfolio runneth over with intoxicating, mind-altering sound manipulations that inspire one's imagination with conflicting emotional responses (sorrow, desolation, awe, wonder) at all times. Space is an illusion... but Peter has brought it to life. Essential! Format CD Tracklisting 01. Tithonium Chasma 02. Sagittarius Cloud 03. Cygnus Loop I 04. Arsia Mons 05. Hydrogen II Region 06.

| Seelenlicht | Love and Murder | £14.00 | ||
 |
Review After nearly two years, Butow Maler and Troy Southgate present "Love and Murder", their new opus, following their amazing debut "Gods and Devils" on Cold Spring. Accompanied by psychedelic guitar riffs, this album is far more song-based than their debut album and SEELENLICHT follow the neoclassical path with sophistication and dynamism. From the social abyss of humanity and bittersweet murder ballads, to dark rune-prayers and the absurdity and brutality of World War One upon the bloody fields of Flanders, "Love and Murder" also devotes attention to Romantic literature by setting to music the poetry of Novalis and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Guests including Dev (WHILE ANGELS WATCH), Josef Klumb (VON THRONSTAHL) and Wulf Ingessunu (WODEN'S FOLK) complete the apocalyptic cocktail of darkfolk and neoclassical. Packaged in a digipak with a booklet sleeve and 16-page booklet inside. Format CD Digipak Tracklisting 01. Vergiss Mein Nicht 02. The Romantics 03. The Ghosts of Flanders 04. The Outsider 05.

| Mantus | Demut | £13.75 | ||
 |
Review That which accumulated during the years of tranquility and silence seems to have been quite something! With undiminished, exuberant creativity and strength, MANTUS release their latest masterpiece, "Demut", even as the last sounds of "Requiem" have barely faded away. On "Demut", MANTUS continue the lyrical themes of "Requiem", grappling with the subject matter of the 'vanitas' art movement of the 16th and 17th centuries, which held that man should visualise the finality of all things and that death stands by as the omnipresent power over us all, so as to teach us humility ('Demut' in German). Nevertheless, or perhaps indeed because of this, MANTUS have created an extremely powerful, indeed rocking album. Once again, melancholy classical arrangements come up against metallic guitars; piano chords and indescribable harmonies meet powerful rhythms; rock hooklines meet emotional vocals. The production is extremely impressive and emphasises the expressive depth of the musical and lyrical world of MANTUS all too clearly. It's just a case of turning up the volume, closing your eyes and immersing yourself in the powerful songs which leave out no emotion, from sombre mourning and playful tenderness to melancholy daydreaming. MANTUS are once again on top of their game and raise the bar somewhat higher than on their last album. "Demut" is no background CD, but a dark pearl among the musical mishmash, created for all those who have an open heart and open ears. For all those who are prepared to lose themselves in the symphonic mixture of gothic-wave, metal guitars, classical elements, the contrasting vocals of Martin Schindler and Thalia and the poetic breadth of MANTUS. Let yourselves go! "Demut" is an accomplished and emotional work. Format CD Digipak Tracklisting 01. Vanitas 02. Fallen 03. Schuld 04. Gegen die Welt 05. Tränen eines Clowns 06. Ein Schatten 07.

Review Brand new mini-album from the British neo-folk/post-punk act, NAEVUS. The group's sound has been described as "the wire of the dark folk scene" and "what swans would sound like if they were English", but there is much more to the group than this; their distinctive lyrics and modernist approach clearly set NAEVUS apart from their contemporaries.

| Readjust | Level of Courage | £10.00 | ||
 |
Review READJUST are a German 'Melodic Body Electro' act and a brand new signing on the British Rebco Records label - potentially one of their most successful to date. Their debut album offers extremely club-friendly, up-tempo, dark industrial/EBM. Imagine [:SITD:], SUICIDE COMMANDO and CYBERCIDE rolled into one! Catchy melodies meet with harsh EBM elements and slightly distorted vocals. Songs such as "Guilty", "No Surrender" and "Fear of the Unknown" will without a doubt make their mark on the clubs, while the title track "Level of Courage" and the wonderful "Golden Cage" stand out as inspired mid-tempo tracks, that have all the ingredients to become hits, too! An amazing album! Format CD Tracklisting 01. Surrender 02. Guilty 03. Fear of the Unknown 04. Level of Courage 05. Embrace the Fear 06. Machine 07. Golden Cage 08. Never Too late 09.

Review 108 is the diabolic passion we need to fight everyday to turn ourselves into Buddah. 108 is also a magical and esoteric number present in many mystic religions and cultures. And "108" is also the title of the new limited 10" vinyl release by the Italian neo-folk act BALLO DELLE CASTAGNE, featuring two covers of songs about the diabolic passion of two great Italian artists from the 70s: "Biglietto per l'Inferno" and Franco Battiato. "108" by BALLO DELLE CASTAGNE is only one chapter devoted to human evil in all its manifestations.

| Peter Hope & Jonathan S Podmore Method | Dry Hip Rotation | £17.25 | ||
 |
Review Material by Peter Hope (ex THE BOX, a CLOCK DVA offshoot) recorded with CABARET VOLTAIRE's Richard H Kirk, David Harrow and Jonathan S Podmore. Somewhere in between EBM and industrial, this classic stands out as one of the most original albums ever recorded. Digitally remastered for this release by Kevin Metcalfe, and including a bonus track. Using mainly household objects and very few real instruments, the album was recorded within a few days in England in 1986 with guests such as Charlie Collins of CLOCK DVA and Alan Fisch of HULA. Hope and Podmore wanted to record an album that went beyond the known structures of rhythmic electronic music - something utterly original and unknown before. "Dry Hip Rotation" still stands as a totally unique recording that cannot be classified by any musical genre or style. Format CD Tracklisting 01. Kitchenette 02. Canal 03. 217 04. Dry Bone 05.

Review The project MNEMONIC, based around Michal Belletz and Sebastian Schulz, has been around on the electronic music scene for quite a while now, with ever increasing resonance and respect from both fans and media. The first two MNEMONIC albums "Identifikationsstörung" and "Konstruktive Vergangenheitsbewältigung" were published by Alfa Matrix. They are very different to the third album "Monokultur", released on French label M-Tronic. On this new, very limited release on Halbsicht Records, MNEMONIC further develop their unique sound, based on the foundations laid in "Monokultur". The song structure appears less chiseled and thereby creates a transparent ambience where catchy tunes form a perfect symbiosis with intelligent entangled beats, casting a spell over the audience.

| XP8 | Drop the Mask | £13.25 | ||
 |
Review Aimed at the heart of the dancefloor, XP8's music keeps listeners moving through the night in timeless waves, emitting subtle hints of the 1980s while slipping easily into the sounds of the new millennium: glitchy patterns, sharp simulated strings, and clear vocals travelling through bright sequences and brooding atmospheres. XP8 began in 2001 as a trio including previous singer Paul Toohill. Melding an airy blend of EBM, electronica, techno and trance, the band brought their various visions and talents to life with synthetic vibrancy and danceable beats, while crossing electronic genres with relative ease. Over the years that followed, they made a name for themselves with their energetic live performances and their much sought-after remix work. Exactly two years after the previous album "The Art of Revenge", "Drop the Mask" is a further evolution of the band's sound, showing the duo of Marco Visconti and Marko Resurreccion taking their collective music prowess to new heights. It's time to grow real fast... it's time to drop the mask... Format CD Tracklisting 01. Blind 02. Want It (featuring DANIEL GRAVES) 03. One True God 04. One Pill Missing 05. Breathe the Poison In 06.

Review The GENITORTURERS need no introduction. The world's sexiest rock band is now unleashing its long-anticipated fourth studio album "Blackheart Revolution" unto the eagerly awaiting world. Founded in Florida during the year 1991 as the brainchild of lead singer Gen, the Americans quickly rose to fame when her husband David 'Evil D' Vincent of MORBID ANGEL fame joined the band after the release of their debut. By the time of their second album "Sin City" (1998) the GENITORTURERS had gained a massive and controversial reputation with their flamboyant BDSM shows lead by the stunning blonde Gen. A third album followed with "Machine Love" (2000), tracks from which were featured in movie scores and on game soundtracks. After a creative break, the GENITORTURERS finally return. With the whipping "Blackheart Revolution", the Floridians are taking their crossover blend of US industrial metal and rock with pushing electro and hardcore punk influences onto a new level. A sharp production with rhythmical pulses and nasty electronic surprises hones the GENITORTURERS' sound to a cutting edge. This is what it would sound like if MARILYN MANSON met WHITE ZOMBIE for a wild party! Format CD Digipak Tracklisting 01. Revolution 02. Kabangin' All Night 03. Devil in a Bottle 04. Louder 05.

| Analog Angel | Dischord | £16.60 | ||

Review 80s analog electronica; today's digital technology. Blended together for an up-to-date sound! The debut album from this three-piece electronic band from Glasgow. 80s electronica? There is certainly more than a hint of 80s electronica on "Dischord" - some of the basslines are straight out of the yearbooks 80-85! Some of the sounds are pure analogue beauty, full of filter sweeps that could smash windows! Up to date technology? - that box is ticked too. There are digital synths on the album, of that there is no doubt but they have been tweaked to within an inch of their lives. This results in a less clinical sound with a bit more warmth than you would normally expect from an all-electronic band. Here we have good, old-fashioned synth pop teamed with a dark, sometimes menacing lyrical undertone. All at once dark, cheeky, menacing, yet edgy and vulnerable. Format CD Digipak Tracklisting 01.
