ALLERSEELEN - 'Rauhe Schale' CD (Aorta / Ahnstern)
"Rauhe Schale" ('Rough Shell') is the brand new album from Austrian legends Allerseelen, which fascinates musically as well as visually. Everything moves and flows in a field of force between industrial, metal, folklore and pop. Lovers of bands like Nine Inch Nails, Einstürzende Neubauten, Laibach or Underworld could also fall in love with Allerseelen. Gerhard Hallstatt sometimes describes his music as Electronic Folklore or Apocalyptic Rock. But basically there is no real description for Allerseelen - all attempts to find an expression for their music may be valid for some time, yet lose their meaning after a couple of months or years. The songs were inspired by various magical mystery tours in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy and Slovenia. Gerhard is assisted here by Dimo Dimov (Svarrogh, Miel Noir, Sturmpercht), Marcel P. (Sagittarius, Halgadom), Meri Tadic (Eluveitie) and Annabel Lee (Blood Axis). 70 mins. of music in a digipak with booklet.
FAHL - 'The Paths To Emptiness' CD (The Eastern Front)
Debut opus from Fahl, founded by Dimo Dimov, Marcel P. and Cornelius Waldner in 2008. All the musicians are active participants in numerous groups from the dark folk, neoclassical and black metal genres. They felt a growing urge to experiment with dark ambient soundscapes, resulting in this mutual collaboration. �The Paths To Emptiness� is a haunting journey to the subconscious, divided into ten audial gateways to the occult and hidden forces of the inner self. Lyrically based on the Mahabharata, as well as poems and texts by John Milton, Jack London, Stefan George, Christian Dietrich Grabbe and Cornelius Waldner, this release is strongly recommended for fans of Brighter Death Now and Lustmord. Featuring members of Svarrogh, Sagittarius, Miel Noir and Allerseelen. Ltd x 1000 copies.
MIEL NOIR - 'Der Honigflugel' CD (The Eastern Front)
"Apocalyptic Chanson Doctrine". Another, completely different project from Bulgarian artist Dimo Dimov (Svarrogh, Sturmpercht, Allerseelen, Sagittarius). A brilliant piano symphony with industrial elements and samples from Russian movies, inspired by classical Russian novel "Crime and Punishment" written by Fyodor Dostoevsky and Goncharov novels. Ltd x 500 hand-numbered copies in a gatefold outsized folder.
