The eighties – a decade of artistic and musical freedom! Those where the days for fans of New Wave and Dark Wave! These were the times that shaped the artistic path of Chris Pohl (Blutengel). Now he wishes to pay tribute to his musical influences: She Hates Emotions.
I met Severe Illusion ages ago (during the Eurorock preselections) and kept on following this very interesting Swedisch electro/Industrial/experimental project. They just released new material on the 6th of March: a four track EP.
What do you do as an artist with a homestudio when you are in lockdown? Use your studio! It's a short EP, but I am told there is more to come if it goes on like this. These are dark times and our life is on hold, but we have to do it or we will deal with more dead people and stadiums filled w...
It was supposed to be the surprise during the "Living The Darkness" tour. Now the tour that all fans have been waiting for so long needed to be postponed, but the surprise is there nevertheless: Blutengel and Hocico, two of the institutions of dark music, have recorded the single Obscur...
It's april's fool day, but this is not a joke! Red Zebra just released a brand new song! The legendary Punk/New Wave band goes into 2020 but keeps their sharp lyrics and keeps on spitting on everything that is nog human!
As many bands can't tour and most of them are in lockdown they search for other ways to keep their fans pleased. Well Apoptygma Berzerk started searching for rare material and will release it via their digital channel. Let the Norwegian EBM come down on you and start to dance!

As we all have to stay home Blutengel asked their fans to send in some video's of themselves showing what they do in these dark times. It's a nice gesture and a great idea. The response was massive and they got the right track!
They where supposed to play at Kraken Metal Rock Fest in May, but the festival has been cancelled for now. As I started the promo for the festival before the plague reached us and since I adored them I keep track of them and can announce with great pleasure the release of their new single!
Funker Vogt strikes back with a new EP and announces a new gig in Aarschot (but that last one is what I call a wait and see due to the Covid-19 and the vaccination rounds if they find one fast enough). Fact is that more people now have time to listen to music, so spread the music, not the virus! ...
