Echoes of Yul is an act from Opale, Poland dwelling in a sound balanced between a relatively minimal and trance-inducing down-tempo akin to Jesu and the eerie discordant noise of Godflesh. The convergence of influences from two of the most prominent projects of one Justin K. Broadrick is for the most part extremely enjoyable with […]

It’s not even funny anymore: nowdays most popular sport is to claim back Paypal refunds.

New signing: Laburinthos … a Romanian band that came into being at the end of 2009. In the musical inferno of transmodernity, Laburinthos aims at burning all the heresies of present day music.

I got the news the morning after from a friend close to the band. ‘B’ or ‘Nattdal’ were also artistic nicknames he used over the years with Lifelover, Woundism, Dimhymn and IXXI (as a tragic coincidence IX & XI are the numbers […]

“Why did you guys decide to change Avantgarde ?” – Change ? What do you mean – “That now no more BM no more extreme stuff ?! Mostly Doom and “pop rock” releated stuff ?!” Ah ah, this could be integrated in the ‘mission‘ section…. however, I take the chance now by using this small Facebook […]
