Bella Morte

 

BELLA MORTE

Beautiful Death

 

Genre: Goth

Bella Morte once again descends upon the music scene with a new release, Beautiful Death. The album plays atmospheric, orchestral and hard with song complex and intricate songs that draw you in like a siren’s cries. Fear not though, the album still slams where it matters with a mix of heavy hitters pounding throughout the album. Somber, morose, and disconsolate the album delivers everything you would expect from a Bella Morte release. Their first album since their lineup change in 2007, Beautiful Death features Tony Pugh taking the place of Gopal Metro on bass. Luckily for fans the changeup has done little to change the band’s sound as Beautiful Death certainly measures up to past releases from Bella Morte. Beautiful Death continues the sound Bella Morte created in Bleed the Sky Grey and Black with atmospheric and operatic arrangements as Andy Deane continues to push his vocal range even further. Meanwhile, the album still maintains the hard sound Bella Morte perfected on As The Reasons Die. Bella Morte has left no stone unturned or note unplayed to create a Beautiful Death. Will be released on Metropolis Records.

IMPERATIVE REACTION

Minus All

 

Genre: Industrial

Los Angeles based Imperative Reaction return with “Minus All”, the follow up to their highly acclaimed 2006 release “As We Fall”. Never one to stagnate musically, Ted Phelps, the man behind IR has been musically evolving since the band’s inception. From the early days as a distorted electro outfit to a cleaner, more polished sound on the classic release “Redemption”. Having spent much of the past two years touring the world with acts such as VNV Nation, Covenant, and Combichrist, Imperative Reaction has not let the growing successes affect their sense of musical integrity. “Minus All” combines the purely electronic, almost rock feel of their last two albums and expands upon this feel, with thirteen tracks of unbridled aggression. Whether aimed at the dance floors, or the darker, more brooding tracks, IR’s intoxicating mix of driving, urgent melodies and anthemic vocals will continue to win over fans worldwide. Will be released on Metropolis.

Continuing the tradition started with the KMFDM Classic releases the accompanying booklets for the Extra series are packed with exciting material. Some highlights include cover art from every album and single from which cuts were taken (most covers are by famed KMFDM cohort Brute!), never before seen photos of the band from the time period, release history info for all tracks and previously unavailable complete recording information and credits. As it has been with all the KMFDM re-releases on Metropolis, work on this series, from the remastering to the packaging, has been done with the highest level of participation from Sascha K., KMFDM’s leader and founder. Extra Volume 3, coming October 7th, is comprised of songs from the Glory single in 1994 to the MDFMK EP in 1998. This two disc set contains 26 tracks, over 2 hours and 16 minutes of music. Extra Vol. 3 features the original re-mixes of some of KMFDM’s biggest hits: “Juke-Joint Jezebel”, “Megalomaniac”, “Brute”, “Anarchy” plus b-sides, extra tracks and more! Extra Vol. 3 also includes a 16 page booklet featuring art, photos and anecdotes. Extra Vol. 1 and Extra Vol. 2 are out and available now, get them all and complete the KMFDM Extra trilogy. “Extra!

OhGr

OhGr

Devils in my Details

 

Genre: Industrial

Anyone familiar with Ogre, the formidable solo artist and frontman for electronic-rock avatars Skinny Puppy, would expect that at this juncture in his long and storied career, he'd, you know, chill out. After years of delivering intense physical performances and lyrical mise en scenes framing mankind's thoughtlessness, one would hope the singer would maybe buy a log cabin up in the mountains, take up an acoustic guitar and prepare a disc's worth of Appalachian folk songs recorded on wax-cylinder technology. Yeah, like that's ever going to happen. Fortunately, the frontman for ohGr is ready to unveil his debut solo disc for SPV, Devils In My Details. If the previous ohGr disc, 2003's SunnyPsyOp, was an old-school electro-influenced affair with a twist of anxiety and a few dashes of neurosis, ohGr 2K8 is an emotionally beaten vessel that deceptively looks as strong as a kitten, barring the massive subterfuge he's about to unleash upon you. As captivating as Devil In My Details is musically, Ogre sees the disc as an opportunity to clarify some things."The personal is visceral and has shock value to create a longer narrative art," he explains. "I think a lot of people perceive my character, as well as my role in Skinny Puppy, as scary and spooky. But the character I've created all these years ago is mirroring the things in the world that scare him and reflecting that fear into the world. It's an externalized manifestation of what's going on his head, whatever it amped out to. That theme is pretty common to me but on this record, it's being fleshed out in a conceptual way. It starts out in a place where you're consumed by whatever it is that's happening around you, which you internalize. Then you add things to it that creates an externalization. When the externalization comes through, things start falling apart and eventually you're stuck in a place where you have to look within to save your life. At the end, there's a hope that there will be a witness somewhere to validate your experience." Released on Synthetic Symphony.
