| Mind.In.A.Box | Crossroads | £11.99 | ||
 |
Review Mind.In.A.Box's debut, Lost Alone, and the follow up Dreamweb garnered praise from critics for their innovative, hard to categorize sound and story concepts. Instead of simply creating songs, Mind.in.A.Box pulls you into its world and stories, exploring themes of solitude, fear, self control, ego, and loss. Crossroads takes up the story and themes explored in Dreamweb and expand them. With the dense, complex electronics MIAB is known for, they masterfully create moods and atmospheres on tracks such as "Fear" and "The Place" and mix them with highly danceable tracks such as "Identity", "What Used To Be", and "Introspection" to create a 65 minute musical journey. To compliment the music, Crossroads includes a 24 page booklet containing a short story, lyrics, and a code to unlock bonus content on their website. Format CD Tracklisting 01. Introspection 02. Amnesia 03. Into The Night 04. Identity 05. Lucid Dreams 1 06. Fear 07. Stalkers 08. What Used To Be 09. The Place 10. Redefined 11. Lucid Dreams 2 12. Crossroads 13.

| Fauxliage | Fauxliage | £11.99 | ||
 |
Review Fauxliage is the first full length collaboration between former Sixpence None the Richer singer, Leigh Nash, and Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber of Delerium and Front Line Assembly . Nash's voice will be instantly recognizable to Delerium fans, having sung on their hit single "Innocente (Falling In Love)" from the album Poem and contributed two songs, "Run For It" and "Orbit of Me" to the band's subsequent Chimera. A subtle slice of dream pop that's far removed from Delerium's darker roots, like their esoteric name suggests, Fauxliage are a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered. Format CD Tracklisting 01.

| Ministry | The Last Sucker ( Limited ) | £14.99 | ||
 |
Review Limited Edition version of the new Ministry album "The Last Sucker". This version comes complete with 2 Bonus Tracks and will be made available in a very special HOLOGRAM cover, showing G.W. Bush turning into a reptile, using lenticular technology providing a three-dimensional image of Ministry's favourite 'political figure'... Limited Edition. The Brand New ( and final !? ) album from Al Jourgensen and crew - 11 new tracks ( and two Bonus Remixes on this Limited Edition version ) set for destruction like a runnaway death-filled juggernaught - "The Last Sucker" is the third in an unrelenting and über-critical CD trilogy aimed at exposing the plethora of foils, failures and fabrications perpetrated by the George W. Bush Administration. "The Last Sucker," which follows "Houses of the Molé" ( 2004 ) and "Rio Grande Blood" ( 2006 ), is the final nail in the Dubya coffin. The new album also features a propane - powered cover of the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues" and the album's dual closers, "The End of Days" ( Parts One and Two ) captures every single element of Ministry's pioneering uniqueness in the world of industrial music. "The Last Sucker" was produced and recorded this past Spring by Jourgensen at his 13th Planet compound just outside of El Paso, Texas, and sees the return of "Rio Grande Blood" musicians Thomas Victor ( Prong ) on guitars, Paul Raven ( Killing Joke / Prong ) on bass, with newcomer guitarist Sin Quirin from The Revolting Cocks' 2006 touring line-up. Jourgensen and his engineer John "Bixby" Bilberry handled all the drum programming. In addition, Burton C. Bell from Fear Factory makes a special vocal appearance on "Die In A Crash", as well as the album's final two songs, "End of Days" parts One and Two. Format Limited CD Digipak Tracklisting 01.

Review Following the smash success of Sophia, which went to #1 on the Billboard Dance Singles Sales Chart, The Cruxshadows are back with a second single from their latest album, DreamCypher. Birthday has proven to be a fan favorite all over the world (it went over especially well at the band's concerts in China) and as always, the band is eager to please their fans. In addition to the title track there are two remixes (a radio edit and a club mix) plus a brand new song ("The Eighth Square"). To top it off, the band is including one of their fanbase's top requests: a performance of the song White Rabbit, which was part of the Cruxshadows live show for several years but until now has never appeared on any of their recordings.

| The Birthday Massacre | Walking With Strangers | £11.99 | ||
 |
Review First Limited Edition in digipak ! With their newest album, "Walking With Strangers" Toronto-based THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE once again exceed the expectations of their ever-growing and devoted fan base. Produced by the legendary Dave "Rave" Ogilvie, TBM remain true to the sound that gained them the praise of fans and music critics alike, while further refining and expanding upon their signature sound. Guitarists M. Falcore and Rainbow ( who also handle the electronics programming ) effortlessly transition between the aggressive breakdowns on "Red Stars" to the dance-rock influenced "Science". Vocalist Chibi shows more range and maturity with her stunningly beautiful vocals, from the delicate "Remember Me", the powerful "Goodnight", to the haunting and atmospheric "Movie". Rainbow's synths and programming adds an unmistakable atmosphere to the entire album, and standout rhythm hooks make this album instantly addictive. Once again The Birthday Massacre manage to blend gothic, rock and electronic musi into a sound that is all their own, and brilliantly original. Format Limited CD Tracklisting 01.

| Nightwish | Dark Passion Play ( Limited 2CD Digipak ) | £14.99 | ||
 |
Review Limited Edition. This Limited Edition version of the new Nightwish album "Dark Passion Play" features the complete album in an instrumental version on a Bonus second disc ! The amazing new album from Goth superstars Nightwish featuring new vocalist ANETTE OLZON ! This, the sixth Nightwish album "Dark Passion Play" stands at a dividing line, separating what has been and what will become. And it stands strong - resonating the confidence of its compositions : The heavenly voice of Anette Olzon carries through bright and powerful - and also more varied that of her predecessor, its truly what Nightwish's beautiful and bombastic music deserves. Despite the fact that this musical passionwork is heavy with darker atmospheres, within it still lie optimistic undertones. The sound of Nightwish reborn is ever strong and unfaltering !

| Nordvargr | For The Blood Is The Life | £14.99 | ||
 |
Review Special Limited Edition version of the new Nordvagr album "For The Blood Is The Life". This Edition is Limited to 315 copies only comes with an extra 3" CDR containing TWO exclusive Nordvargr tracks plus an Exclusive Remix by Beyond Sensory Experience ( BSE ). Warning : Lord Nordvargr is back on Old Europa Café - and this time he's looking for blood ! Musically what we have here is an album of the finest dark ambient : Yet this release also contains many other elements that usually dont get served by our household Swede : Rhythmic arrangements, faint melodies that flow in and out of perception and the distinct sound of old 78rpm acetate records ! This is dark ambient that makes you want to move because of the grooves ( but also to make sure, that nobody is lurking behind you ). Composed by Henrik Nordvargr Björkk during the winter of 2006 / 2007, this is his tribute to old folklore, myth and mysteries around vampirism - a musical plunge into cold nights, abandoned castles and forgotten entities.

Review Four years in the making this is a live documentation of the first Teito live series, Teito-Seiatsu ( Imperial City subdued ). This concert was performed in 2003 and for that special event, CON-DOM played his song manifestations in a small theater in Tokyo. This live-set is quite different from the usual sound on record - It is still loud and powerful, but with a different, uncategorizable touch, being more theatrical and multi - dimensional.

Review Jesper Dahlbäck and Mark O'Sullivan's critically acclaimed debut album is reissued ahead of their 2007/08 European tour. Colder meets Depeche Mode meets David Sylvian. "Recipe for a dancefloor explosion" - NME ( 8/10 ), but "Disarmed" is an altogether darker affair with screeching guitars ( courtesy of former Ride and current Oasis member Andy Bell ) sometimes showing their teeth over the thumping electronic basslines.

Review Marilyn Manson returns with his Brand new album "Eat Me, Drink Me" on June 4th through Interscope / Nothing records. Influenced ( in part ) by "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland", it's a record Manson says he has worked all his life to get to.

| Ministry | The Last Sucker | £12.99 | ||
 |
Review Regular version of the Brand New ( and final !? ) album from Al Jourgensen and crew - 11 new tracks set for destruction like a runnaway death-filled juggernaught - "The Last Sucker" is the third in an unrelenting and über-critical CD trilogy aimed at exposing the plethora of foils, failures and fabrications perpetrated by the George W. Bush Administration. "The Last Sucker," which follows "Houses of the Molé" ( 2004 ) and "Rio Grande Blood" ( 2006 ), is the final nail in the Dubya coffin. The new album also features a propane - powered cover of the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues" and the album's dual closers, "The End of Days" ( Parts One and Two ) captures every single element of Ministry's pioneering uniqueness in the world of industrial music. "The Last Sucker" was produced and recorded this past Spring by Jourgensen at his 13th Planet compound just outside of El Paso, Texas, and sees the return of "Rio Grande Blood" musicians Thomas Victor ( Prong ) on guitars, Paul Raven ( Killing Joke / Prong ) on bass, with newcomer guitarist Sin Quirin from The Revolting Cocks' 2006 touring line-up. Jourgensen and his engineer John "Bixby" Bilberry handled all the drum programming. In addition, Burton C. Bell from Fear Factory makes a special vocal appearance on "Die In A Crash", as well as the album's final two songs, "End of Days" parts One and Two. Format CD Digipak Tracklisting 01. Let's Go 02.

| Moon Far Away | Lado World - Anti-Lado World | £16.99 | ||
 |
Review This album is a re-release of the debut CD from the ritual / darkwave / neofolk cult-act from Archangelsk. Without a doubt this album was instrumental in launching the entire Russian gothic culture demonstrating to the western hemisphere that there was also a dark scene behind the Iron curtain. "Lado World" is the cornerstone on which the Russian dark scene was built. On this album very different ( and at first sight ) incompatible cultures and folk genres were combined - but in a deep fundamental way. "Lado World" is one of the brightest example of a 'ritual' tendency in modern music - a hymn to the eternal run of nature and it's reflection in human existence. This Shadowplay release includes two Discs. The first one is a new version of the "Lado World" album that was released in 1996 on the famous Russian label Exotica Records. The second one is called "Anti-Lado World" and presents 17 exclusive remixes and cover-versions of the Moon Far Away songs, performed by some of the most famous Russian( and western ) musicians of the dark scene working in very different styles and genres : from neo-folk to experimental and Goth-Electro.

| Nordvargr | For The Blood Is The Life | £12.99 | ||
 |
Review Warning : Lord Nordvargr is back on Old Europa Café - and this time he's looking for blood ! Musically what we have here is an album of the finest dark ambient : Yet this release also contains many other elements that usually dont get served by our household Swede : Rhythmic arrangements, faint melodies that flow in and out of perception and the distinct sound of old 78rpm acetate records ! This is dark ambient that makes you want to move because of the grooves ( but also to make sure, that nobody is lurking behind you ). Composed by Henrik Nordvargr Björkk during the winter of 2006 / 2007, this is his tribute to old folklore, myth and mysteries around vampirism - a musical plunge into cold nights, abandoned castles and forgotten entities. Of course this disc is Limited to 666 copies !

Since then it's been circulating around the world as hard to find and poor ( often bootlegged ) CDR releases only and now is finally officially and properly released. Fully re-mastered,repackaged, including the Great pyramid chamber updated diagram and liner notes from the Egyptologist Dr. J.J. Hurtak, "Upuaut" is one of the most profound, magical and sonically improved releases from Oöphoi's extensive discography. Composed, mixed and recorded live at the Kiva in October 1999 by Oöphoi. 24-bit digital remaster at RA studio, Prague in March 2006. Format CD Tracklisting 01.

Review Metal Mind Productions presents re-release of classic material from Roadrunner Records' archives - two albums from Optimum Wound Profile, one of the most fascinating Industrial / Hardcore projects that emerged in the 90's. Formed in 1991 in Ipswich, UK, the sextet proposed a powerful and brutally intensive combination of metal, crust punk, hardcore and sampling technologies, sealed tightly in a cage of pure condensed madness. Coming out during the industrial spree, when groups such as Nine Inch Nails and Ministry cleared the way for countless new acts to follow, Optimum Wound Profile proved that there is something more to say in aggressive, electronic music. Their debut "Lowest Common Dominator" ( 1992 ) introduced some raw, yet intriguing material, showcasing the band's huge potential in creating a thrilling combination of disturbing samples, angry vocals and heavily crafted guitar work. Limited to 2000 numbered copies. Format Limited CD Digipak Tracklisting 01. Drain 02. Tranqhead 03. Ego Crotch 04. Downmouth 05. You're Weak (Demo Version) 06. Blindfold 07. Incision 08.

| Tragic Black | The Cold Caress | £12.99 | ||
 |
Review Finest Progressive Deathrock from Salt Lake City. "The Cold Caress" is a dark mixture of melodic batcave glam, new wave deathrock, old goth post-punk, and electro dance. Whereas their debut "The Decadent Requiem" with its wildness was related to the element of fire, The Cold Caress is the 'water' album : cold, but never lacking power - a modern masterpiece of end -times Deathrock with tasteful electronic support. With dancefloor hits such as "Bodies On The Avenue", more traditional Batcave-hymns such as "June's Dying" - and genre transcending eruptions such as "Missing Miles" or "Schneid Das Blau", "The Cold Caress" is reminiscent more of Skinny Puppy and Marilyn Manson than Sex Gang Children or Cinema Strange.

| Mind.In.A.Box | Crossroads | £11.99 | ||
|
Review Mind.In.A.Box's debut, Lost Alone, and the follow up Dreamweb garnered praise from critics for their innovative, hard to categorize sound and story concepts. Instead of simply creating songs, Mind.in.A.Box pulls you into its world and stories, exploring themes of solitude, fear, self control, ego, and loss. Crossroads takes up the story and themes explored in Dreamweb and expand them. With the dense, complex electronics MIAB is known for, they masterfully create moods and atmospheres on tracks such as "Fear" and "The Place" and mix them with highly danceable tracks such as "Identity", "What Used To Be", and "Introspection" to create a 65 minute musical journey. To compliment the music, Crossroads includes a 24 page booklet containing a short story, lyrics, and a code to unlock bonus content on their website. Format CD Tracklisting 01. Introspection 02. Amnesia 03. Into The Night 04. Identity 05. Lucid Dreams 1 06. Fear 07. Stalkers 08. What Used To Be 09. The Place 10. Redefined 11. Lucid Dreams 2 12. Crossroads 13.

Review Third full length album from Norway's Pride And Fall - "In My Time Of Dying" hints at a cessation of activity from the band ( sadly their last for Dependent Records ) with an intense and professional completion to a trio of records that began with "Nephesh" and continued with their highly regarded and utterly excellent last long-player "Elements Of Silence" : Again firmly entrenched in a Darkly Melodic Electro / Future Pop sound "In My Time Of Dying" finds the trio again fusing a full - sounding electronic masterpiece that penetrates the psyche with an underscored darkness full of brooding synth-lines, melodic sequences, pounding club rhythms and lyrics consumed with endings, introspection and lack of control ...

| Hocico | About A Dead | £4.99 | ||
 |
Review "God Is Dead !" - when Erk Aicrag of Hocico screams out these words in his typical blood-curdling manner, their is no doubt that the latest offering from Mexico's premiere Harsh Electro / Industrialists is intended as a full-frontal assault... and not just musically. The song is a merciless romp against religious fanatics wrapped up in an incessant dance track which sees Erk and Racso returning to the raw, beat-laden power of their early releases. Stripping the track of anything that might inhibit their pure, aggressive energy "About A Dead" kicks in with a catchy sequencer line and a mighty chorus part that is destined to burn into your skull : "About A Dead" combines all the strengths of the Mexican duo and is a mandatory item for any Electro club. The B-side "The Last Warning" is a dark monumental soundscape building up to a furious finale - the ideal counterpart to the unleashed aggression of the title track. This CD Single also includes three remixes ( from label mates Proceed, Lola Angst ad Cephalgy ) This Limited Edition single is a grandiose appetizer for the upcoming new Hocico-album... one that will leave you longing for more.
