HAVEN - 'A2982' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
(2008) "Let us not be deluded by the spells of this sorcerer; because the first sounds overturn time's acknowledged and safe definition and begin constructions of different, weirder spaces. This is the last chance to resign and turn back. Otherwise, when you listen to the end of first track the only thing left to say is "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore". You begin your own, separate (and the longest?) journey. What do you see on your way? What unknown lands, traditions, incomprehensible rituals and dialects will you discover? I don't know. But I am sure that if David Lynch ever undertook the filming of "Alice in the Wonderland" the soundtrack of the movie will be filled with the music from A2982". Experimental / Electro. Digipak.
INFESTATION - 'Bastion Untouchable' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)

The act is best defined by its burning orchestral textures and its violent percussion that give rhythm and life to combative vocal clamours. Evoking subjects concerning the fight for subsistence of cultural heritage, the project covers the unending determination of the minority French-speaking people of Québec that survives through centuries of assimilation and gives the clear indication that struggling is never vain.

L'EFFET C'EST MOI - 'Tomber En Heros' CD (War Office Propaganda)
This interesting music entity rises from Recanati, Italy - the same hometown as Der Feuerkreiner, with whom it seems to share a passion for epic, Neoclassical and Martial compositions. L'Effet C'Est Moi ("the result is me") refers to the concept of Nietzche, identifying between the ruling class and the people. The idea of power and domination, in particular with the splendour of the Roman Empire at its zenith, and also the dark side of its might, that has survived through the ages and formed the totalitarian regimes of the 20th Century. A magnificent world of conquests, armies, battles, emperors and immortality, through excellent orchestral keyboards, epic piano themes and hammering martial percussions. Digipak.

LINGUA FUNGI - 'Tlapallan Pantonal' CD (War Office Propaganda)
'Tlapallan Pantonal' is a personal interpretation of Central American mythology. This album is inspired particularly by the myth of Quetzalcoatl - one of the most important and greatest gods of Mesoamerican Indians. More than utilising the sound of native American music tradition, this record is made entirely around the mood that the great stories personally evoked. Sounds vary from purely abstract ambient to acoustic folk passages. Yet another very interesting record of Lingua Fungi. Digipak.
MARCH OF HEROES - 'March For Glory' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Debut album of French martial industrial act March of Heroes. Atmospheric, Neoclassical music inspired by events from World War II, especially the war between Russia and Germany.

OUTOFSIGHT - 'Vodka Likes Smoke (The Damned Poets)' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Poor alcohol and the smoky interior of a pub. The common despair shouted out in rare moments of sobriety. The terrible, absurd atmosphere of Poland in 50’s and 60’s of last century. Young people, poets, writers, painters and musicians thrown out of the "happy and ideal” society created by communistic authorities. People sinking their dreams in vodka. The works of those damned: Kazimierz Raton (1942-1983), Marek Hlasko (1934-1969) and Edward Stachura (1937-1979) was inspiration for this moving album. Musically it is perfectly blended mix of cold wave, Neofolk, pop and even echoes of decadent cabaret with different guest vocals. Digipak.
Finnish act PIMENTOLA has been active since 1996, originally with a line-up of two members. With a past release on War Office Propaganda and a future release on Cold Meat Industry, many of you will know what quality to expect! “MM-MMV” offers fine Neoclassical / dark orchestral music, while infusing ethnic and industrial sounds. Also incorporated are self-produced samples and acoustic instruments. An album very much in the vein of bands such as In Slaughter Natives or Raison D'Etre.
