27.11.2025 - OREYEON: kündigen neues von Thomas Ligotti inspiriertes Stoner Rock Album „The Grotesque Within“ an

Die Stoner Rock-Band OREYEON hat mit „The Grotesque Within“ ein neues Album angekündigt. Es ist das vierte Album der Italiener und webt eine dichte Erzählung, inspiriert von den Werken eines Thomas Ligotti.
„Ähnlich wie Ligottis existenzielle Erzählungen porträtiert „The Grotesque Within“ nicht einfach nur Dunkelheit: Es beobachtet, wie das Absurde und das Schreckliche von unserer modernen Realität nicht mehr zu unterscheiden sind. Jeder Track ist eine Konfrontation mit dem Bizarren, dem Dissonanten und dem beunruhigend Vertrauten. Dies ist nicht nur ein Album. Es ist ein Abstieg in das Unheimliche, das uns bereits umgibt“, erklärt die Band.
„The Grotesque Within“ wird am 13. Februar 2026 via Heavy Psych Sounds Records erscheinen. Vorab gibt es zum Opener „Echoes of old nightmares“ einen Video-Clip.
OREYEON Line-Up:
Pietro Virgilio – Drums
Richard Silvaggio – Bass / Vocals

27.11.2025 - TENEBRO: zweite Single vom neuen Horror Death Metal Album „Una Lama D’Argento“
Die Horror Death Metal-Band TENEBRO hat mit dem Video-Clip zu „Jennifer“ eine zweite Single ihres kommenden Albums „Una Lama D’Argento“ veröffentlicht. Der Song ist inspiriert von Argentos „Phenomena“, in dem ein junges Mädchen eine psychische Verbindung zu Insekten aufbaut, um Morde und Geheimnisse aufzudecken.
Im Oktober ist mit dem Lyric-Video zu „Impiccata“ die erste Vorab-Single erschienen. Die Single nimmt Bezug auf Dario Argentos „Suspiria“ und ist inspiriert von der berüchtigten Erhängungsszene.
„Una Lama D’Argento“ ist nach „L’inizio di un incubo“ (2022) und „Ultime grida dalla giungla“ (2023) das dritte Album der Italiener und ist als Hommage an Dario Argento, den italienischen Meister des Horror-, Giallo- und Thriller-Kinos, konzipiert. Der Release des Albums erfolgt am 12. Dezember 2025 via Time to Kill Records erfolgen.

24.11.2025 - Michael Zodorozny of A Crash Course in Science Debuts Animated Video for “Land of the Vole” — Solo Album “Test Pilot” Out Now!

Michael Zodorozny’s new video for the insanely catchy chant Land of the Vole hits like a forgotten reel dug out of some basement vault where the paint smells faintly of ozone. It’s a trip, but not the kind that pats you on the head and tells you to relax. This thing jitters with hand-painted life: brushstrokes twitch, colors tilt, voles scurry underground, and the whole frame moves like it’s trying to breathe on its own. Zodorozny wanders through this underground labyrinth, it’s all like a time-bent traveler who accidentally stepped into a page torn from his own subconscious. One moment he’s anchored in the painted terrain; the next he’s swallowed by its contours, as if the Mary Poppins chalk-drawing moment grew teeth and developed an agenda.
“Land of the Vole” feels like the logical offspring of his history: Crash Course in Science’s DIY voltage, the Pyramid Club’s wild-eyed performance nights, Test Pilot’s fascination with perception and inner drift…but it never settles for nostalgia. These paintings lunge forward like they’ve been waiting decades for someone to finally animate their secrets. Every frame has the energy of a postcard from a parallel dimension, stamped and mailed by a version of Michael who never left the easel.
Beneath the lacquer of swirling color and jittering brushstrokes lies the real hook: this saga isn’t told from some heroic perch above the clouds, it’s rooted in the dim borough beneath our feet, where a humble vole stumbles into cosmic catastrophe. Down there, in the earthy hush where roots tangle like old wiring, an alien craft burrows into the soil. And instead of humans scrambling to interpret the intrusion, the universe lets the vole take the first look. Or “look,” at least, in whatever way its tiny, near-sightless body can register a visitor from the void.
That’s the pulse running under the paint. The video paints the encounter not as a disaster but a strange communion. The vole, this unassuming ground-dweller, becomes our accidental emissary; its burrow becomes the first embassy for something unearthly. Zodorozny wanders through these hand-painted realms like he’s trespassing through the vole’s newfound visions: slipping through warped tunnels, drifting across impossible color fields, stepping lightly through scenes that tremble as if the tremors of the crash are still echoing. He’s not leading the story; he’s translating it, following the vole’s senses into a world that reshapes itself faster than meaning can catch up.
Land of the Vole was created with confident propulsion behind the images. But the star here is the paint: thick strokes that warp into landscapes, faces that blur into scenery, little visual riddles tucked inside corners like mischievous gremlins. By the end, you feel like you’ve traveled through a gallery where the art suddenly broke free and started muttering its own thoughts.

21.09.2025 - Simone Salvatori – Interview for ElectoWelt OnLine Music Magazine

Simone “Hellvis” Salvatori, guitarist, singer and frontman/founder of the neofolk act Spiritual Front, but also a solo artist, was kind enough to answer our questions, here at the ElectoWelt OnLine Music Magazine, just before the band takes the stage at the mighty Death Disco Open Air Festival 2025 in Athens Technopolis!
∴ Interview by: Malice F ∴
1. EW: Hello Simone! Thank you so much for finding the time to do our interview, just before Spiritual Front’s live performance at Death Disco open air festival at Technopolis Athens! Apart from the upcoming SF gigs scheduled, how do we find you these days?
Simone Salvatori: Ciao, thank you so much! Well, busy time doing new stuff, working as daily jobs, waiting for Morgue Ensemble and The Lust Syndicate to be released. Life is basicallyba long tragic wait.
2. EW: George P. and me have been following your music with love and admiration many years now, since SPIRITUAL FRONT’s beginnings in 1999 when your first album “Songs for the Will” was released. I wouldn’t categorize SF in the neofolk genre, I never thought of you like this, but SF’s dark lyrical landscapes and romantic tango ballads staying at the same time true to your Italian heritage are very defining qualities for SF music legacy. So, what about Suicidal nihilistic pop, a term under which you have described your music in the past, does it still express Spiritual Front’s music and art? I could probably understand nihilistic, but I am not sure about the suicidal part.
Simone Salvatori: You got the point, I never considered SF as a ‘neofolk’ bands, I mean if you intend that boring bands exposing runes,singing about frozen forests and all these things, not my cup of tea. If you intend a different form of folk, maybe yes, but it’ s a question of terms. About sounds, in the very beginning I was influenced by some of those bands, I mean the early scene, but not now, it’ s so boring to listen to them now. But, as said, it was long time ago, thank god. When I use the worde suicide pop, it s because I like the contrast between these two, suicide is the total, definitive refusal, the last act of denial, pop is something easy, something to share , something that belong to everyone. I lile to idea of keeping them both in my music.
3. EW: Pier Paolo Pasolini, Fassbender influences in your lyrics, and generally you have a cinematic approach regarding your artistic expression, you are telling stories when you sing, in your wonderful videos for SF tracks and when you perform. We can see a lot of talent here, did you ever consider an actor’s or director’s career and turned it down for some reason? Please share!
Simone Salvatori: That would be amazing ahahahh, well, I attended theater schools when I was younger. I always consider these form of arts a whole thing,or a sort of that. It’ s hard to consider cinema without a good soundtrack, ot’ s hard to look at something without imaging a sound, listen to some good record without imaging something happen, things appearing. Yes, those directors influenced me a lot, on a personal and artistic level. Life couldnt be the same without them, those were people who showed us how to see and feel life, those were born to teach us how to make it.
4. EW: We have seen religious themes too, some have even called them provocative or misunderstood your work in this matter. What is your stand regarding religion and inner and is your intention to provoke in an effort to maybe bring the attention of audiences in specific matters that are important to you?
Simone Salvatori: Religion played an important role in my life, I grew in a nuns school when I was kid, some images, some sounds, some odors, some punishments are still so deeply rooted in me. Religion is basically more than a belief, especially if you live in a place like Rome, it s a matter that requests more than a phrase, religion is part of our culture, even if you are not religious, it’ s a thing that have modified and created your own culture and way of living, your philosophy. I don’ t consider myself catholic at all, but I would lie if I would tell you ‘it’ s not my culture’, we are drowned in jesus.
5. EW: What kind of music do you prefer listening to nowadays? is there any kind of guilty pleasures that you might have in music and would like to share with us?
Simone Salvatori: Except hip hop, I basically listen to a lot of things, from new wave to thrash metal, from americana to industrial, from krautrock to ebm, from powernoise to indie pop.
Guilty pleasure? Mmmm , these days Im listening a lot of Chappell Roan.
6. EW: George P. has another question for you! Could you please name your top 5 albums you can’t live without?
Simone Salvatori: Hard questions maybe, not in order:
The Smiths: Hateful of Hollow”
Swans: ”White Light from the Mouth of Infinity”
Celtic Frost: ”Into the Pandemonium”
Scott Walker: ..(Hard to choose among the first 4…) …let’s say the album: ”Scott 3”
Death: ”Leprosy”
7. EW: SF’s homage to a legendary 80s band like the Smiths with Big mouth strikes again was incredible and we can see it was carried out with respect and love to the band and the legends they are. Did you have the chance during your artistic approach and creation road of this album to get in touch with Morrissey or Johnny Marr from the band for the project or have any kind of feedback about your work on this album?
Simone Salvatori: Oh no never, never try to get in touch with your fav artists. Morrissey lived in Rome for a long time, I had the chance to meet him, but I always refused, didn t have the courage to meet him, try to imagine this: for you, he’ s a something special, for him….u just another boring fan,).
Except some rare cases, I ve always been disappointed by the artists I liked, probably, as said before, is just a matter of expectations.
8. EW: It’s quite impressive that SF contributed to the soundtracks of the TV series “Las Vegas” and the motion picture “Saw 2” as well as further independent films, theatre, and even modern ballet productions, some trivia that some fans maybe are not aware about SF. Are there any additional artistic desires you would like to pursue and fulfil further? Personally, or with SF.
Simone Salvatori: I’d love to do a soundtrack for a western movie.
9. EW: It seems that in the last years minimal synth wave has become a huge music trend again, and creation of music mainly in a digital way though PCs or even smart phones nowadays. What is your opinion of the dark wave scene currently, do you find any of these new musical releases interesting?
Simone Salvatori: It sucks, everytime I hear bands like Lebanon hanover I wonder how music could be so shitty . This trend gave the chance to many incompetents with no talents to play music and records, I mean, it could be ok, I’ m not Malmsteen, but those, c’ mon, it’ s crap, few bands are ok, but 80% are total crap. They should thank god hype is on their side, but dunno how long it will lasts, people are not stupid, they will soon realize what kind of swindle these bands, tons of reverb and flanger and cheap drum machine won’ t save them from the final conflict
10. EW: A few words please for LUST SYNDICATE, your side project, expressing yourself in more old school industrial paths. Is it still active, would you consider presenting this work live to an audience? It would be a worthy addition to Wave Gotik Treffen’s (WGT) roster for instance.
Simone Salvatori: The new album is frozen since 3 years, I had some issues with a couple of label, at the moment is ready to be released by Time to kill records next year. We played at some festivals after the first album, Wgt included. Let’ s see what the 2026 will bring. The new albun ‘we are your enemy’ is very cool, good songs, very catchy but politically exposed. You will like it!
11. EW: Amphi 2025 recent live SF headliner gig was awesome! We kept discussing how much we missed you guys live! You were fantastic on stage, your communication with your fans was intense too. What should we expect seeing you live at Death Disco Open Air on Sunday? New tracks or more classic SF setlist?
Simone Salvatori: Thank you!! Amphi has never been easy for us, there’s always some problem, but we had fun, I love our loyal fanbase. No new tracks this time, we are still working on ’em. But if you invite us to play again on 2026 we ll give you some new killer tracks
12. EW: We know SF will continue touring, you have some scheduled live gigs. Your last album Amour Braque’, was released in 2018 and it was incredibly melodic, dramatic and stimulating, very much in the SPIRITUAL FRONT atmosphere we love. Will there be also new SF music or even a new collaboration coming soon?
Simone Salvatori: We are going to record the new album on late october, we have many new songs,Prophecy records is going to release also a special limited edition double album, let s see who will be the extra guests, at the moment we are just focused on how to make it good! There many intense, lovely songs, Im pretty sure you ll liked it, especially if you loved Amour braque.
EW: Coming to the end of our interview, feel free to share with us any message you would like to, with your fans attending the Death Disco Open Air Festival 2025!
Simone Salvatori: Thank you so much for supporting us, we love Greece, and we always had a special relations with our greek supporters. It’ s always a pleasure to come back in Athens, I ve many good records about it. The last confused memory ended with me totally drunk dancing in a italodisco club. Lovely night!
EW: Thank you again for your time and for the music we love! We can’t wait to see you live on stage today, as always!

Στις 11 Οκτωβρίου 2025 το θρυλικό βρετανικό gothic rock συγκρότημα The Nosferatu επιστρέφει στην Αθήνα, μετά από μια εξαιρετικά επιτυχημένη λατινοαμερικανική περιοδεία, κατά την οποία επισκέφθηκε το Μεξικό, την Κόστα Ρίκα, το Περού, τη Χιλή και τη Βραζιλία και πρόκειται να εμφανιστεί στο Amphi Festival και το Wave Gothic Treffen Festival το 2025.

Inspired by the beloved little fish featured in this year’s artwork, it is located right next to Technopolis’ main courtyard and will host the Official Band & Festival Merchandise along with the Signing / Meet & Greet Sessions*.
It will also serve as the hub for our sponsors:
• Dreadbox will showcase a pop-up store and interactive booth, giving visitors the chance to experiment with their legendary synths and explore new sonic possibilities. Selected festival artists will also drop by for exclusive showcases and live sessions, turning the space into a hotspot for analog experimentation and creative exchange.
• Full Moon will open a pop-up store featuring their signature dark aesthetic collection. Whether you’re looking for the perfect outfit, a unique accessory, or something magical for your altar—you’ll find it under the light of the full moon.
• Proki Tattoo Studio will set up a unique pop-up tattoo space, ready to welcome you and leave their mark on your skin with some of the most striking tattoo designs out there.
For all these reasons, the DeepFish Stage will be an essential stop during your stay at Technopolis.

Μετά από ένα συγκλονιστικό καλοκαιρινό πρώτο εγχείρημα τον Ιούλιο του 2023 στη Τεχνόπολη του Δήμου Αθηναίων και την επιτυχημένη indoor εκδοχή του τον χειμώνα του 2024 στο Fuzz Live Music Club, η ομάδα του Death Disco επιστρέφει στις αρχές του Φθινοπώρου του 2025. Με headliners τη Νew Wave ποιήτρια και πρωτεργάτη της ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής Αnne Clark από τη μια, και τον Peter Hook, τον ίσως σημαντικότερο μπασίστα όλων των εποχών και τον μοναδικό άνθρωπο στη γη που κρατάει ζωντανό το πνεύμα των Joy Division, το Death Disco βάζει με το καλημέρα τις βάσεις για ένα ακόμα άχαστο διήμερο Open Air Festival.
H Anne Clark, έχοντας στη φαρέτρα της μια εντυπωσιακή δισκογραφία και μερικά από τα πιο εμβληματικά singles όλων των εποχών (με μπροστάρη το απόλυτο club hit “Οur Darkness” που μέχρι και σήμερα βρίσκει με την ίδια ευκολία τον χώρο του στα σκοτεινά αλλά και στα ηλεκτρονικά / techno dancefloors) και με την ώθηση που της έδωσε η πρόσφατη sold out ευρωπαϊκή της περιοδεία, επιστρέφει στην Αθήνα με full band,17 ολόκληρα χρόνια μετά την τελευταία της επίσκεψη.
O Peter Hook, με τη δουλειά του στους Joy Division και τους Νew Order να θεωρείται αξεπέραστη, έρχεται με τη μπάντα του τους Peter Hook and Τhe Light, να μας παρουσιάσει ένα σετ αποκλειστικά βασισμένο σε αυτά τα δύο μεγαθήρια της post punk / new wave / synth pop μουσικής. Μαζί τους ένα ακόμα εμβληματικό post punk σχήμα του Μanchester, οι Chameleons. Ένα από τα πιο επιδραστικά και ταυτόχρονα παραγκωνισμένα σχήματα της εναλλακτικής μουσικής των 80’s, που στις μέρες μας βρίσκει την αναγνώριση που του αξίζει με μπάντες σαν τους Interpol και τους Oasis να τους αναφέρουν σαν μεγάλη τους επιρροή και να θεωρούνται πλέον μια από τις μεγαλύτερες post punk μπάντες όλων των εποχών.
Το νέο αίμα της σκηνής εκπροσωπείται επάξια με τους Buzz Kull του Αυστραλού Marc Dwyer. Mετά τη sold out εμφάνισή τους στις αρχές του 2024, επιστρέφουν στην Αθήνα με το μοναδικό ΕBM / Industrial / Cold Wave δημιούργημά τους, ότι πιο φρέσκο και καινοτόμο έχει να προσφέρει η σύγχρονη “dark” μουσική.
Η πρώτη πεντάδα συγκροτημάτων, συμπληρώνεται με τους Γερμανούς Κlangstabil, που επιστρέφουν το 2025 στη συναυλιακή δράση για να αποδείξουν σε όλο το κόσμο και από σκηνής γιατί θεωρούνται το κορυφαίο σχήμα της IDM / Electro μουσικής.
Το Σάββατο 20 και τη Κυριακή 21 Σεπτεμβρίου 2025, η Αθήνα θα είναι και πάλι στο συναυλιακό επίκεντρο της “σκοτεινής” μουσικής. Με ένα line up που θα κάνει και πάλι τα κεφάλια της εναλλακτικής σκηνής να γυρίσουν προς τη χώρα μας, το Death Disco Open Air 2025 θα είναι το απόλυτο εγχώριο – και ένα από τα σημαντικότερα παγκοσμίως – συναυλιακό γεγονός της σκοτεινής σκηνής μέσα στο 2025. Εσύ θα λείπεις?

Solar Fake (DE) + Seadrake (SWE/DE) + Empire In Dust (DE) – Live @ Death Disco Athens Club, Athens Gr.
Date: Saturday November 01, 2025
Venue: Death Disco
Adress: Ogigou 16 & Lepeniotou 24, Psirri, Athens, Greece
Doors at 21:00.
Το Σάββατο 1 Νοεμβρίου, το εντυπωσιακά δραστήριο ελληνικό fan club τους υποδέχεται για άλλη μια φορά στο Death Disco τους μοναδικούς Solar Fake για μία δυνατή εμφάνιση γεμάτη ηλεκτρονική ενέργεια, σκοτεινή pop αισθητική και έντονο συναίσθημα.
Το αγαπημένο electro project του Sven Friedrich επιστρέφει στην Ελλάδα για να μας παρασύρει σε μια βραδιά γεμάτη πάθος, ρυθμό και ένταση.
Οι Solar Fake είναι ένα από τα σημαντικότερα συγκροτήματα της ευρωπαϊκής dark electro/synthpop σκηνής. Δημιουργήθηκαν το 2007 από τον Sven Friedrich, γνωστό από τους Dreadful Shadows και Zeraphine, και από τότε έχουν διαγράψει μια σταθερά ανοδική πορεία.
Ο ήχος τους συνδυάζει επιδέξια τα στοιχεία της μελωδικής synthpop με την επιθετικότητα της EBM και του industrial, δημιουργώντας ένα μοναδικό ηχητικό αποτύπωμα που είναι ταυτόχρονα χορευτικό και συναισθηματικά φορτισμένο.
Με εξαιρετικές κυκλοφορίες όπως τα “Another Manic Episode”, “You Win. Who Cares?” και το πρόσφατο “Don’t Push This Button”, έχουν εδραιωθεί ως ένα από τα πιο επιδραστικά σχήματα του είδους.
Οι ζωντανές τους εμφανίσεις είναι εκρηκτικές, με τον Sven Friedrich να οδηγεί το κοινό σε μια έντονη μουσική εμπειρία. Οι Solar Fake έχουν εμφανιστεί σε μεγάλα φεστιβάλ όπως το M’era Luna, Amphi και Wave-Gotik-Treffen, ενώ έχουν περιοδεύσει σε όλη την Ευρώπη – και όχι μόνο.
Support θα είναι οι Σουηδογερμανοί Seadrake και οι Γερμανοί Empire In Dust.
Οι Seadrake αποτελούνται από τον Rickard Gunarrson (Lowe,Statemachine) και τον Μatthias Thurk (ex-Minerve) έχοντας σαν guest τραγουδιστή τον Sir Boyfriend.
Έχουν στενή σχέση με τους Solar Fake καθώς έχουν περιοδεύσει μαζί το 2019 και το 2022.
Οι EMPIRE IN DUST είναι το ντουέτο δημιούργημα του παραγωγού και τραγουδιστή Manuel Mundt.
Ο Manuel περιγράφει τη μουσική τους σαν ένα μείγμα future pop,EBM,darkwave και synth rock.
Μέχρι στιγμής έχουν κυκλοφορήσει το άλμπουμ ‘Α Place To Rest’
ενώ μέσα στο 2025 αναμένεται η νέα τους δουλειά με τίτλο ‘Riven’.
Ώρα προσέλευσης: 21:00
Προπώληση εισιτηρίων: 20€
Ταμείο: 25€.

12.09.2025 - Chameleons – Arctic Moon

Chameleons – Arctic Moon
‘Arctic Moon’ is the first full-length studio album by Chameleons in 24 years and the first to feature the current group line-up. It contains seven new songs that include the recent single ‘Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing’ STREAM VIDEO, a re-recorded version of ‘Where Are You?’ (2024 single), plus longer compositions such as the slow-burning epic ‘David Bowie Takes My Hand’.
Although signalling something of a departure from the sound of their earlier albums, ‘Arctic Moon’ nevertheless remains rooted in the same emotional depth, spirit and intensity that has always defined their output.
“There is an obvious maturity to the songwriting on this record, and anyone familiar with our past work will hear that this is a positive step forward,” bassist and singer Vox (Mark Burgess) has previously stated. “While we’re proud of the band’s legacy, we really wanted to forge something fresh while retaining that profound and imaginative quality we’re known for. We think that we have managed to do that and deliver a very strong record!”
Chameleons have spent the summer touring on both sides of the Atlantic, with their latest headlining US trek also incorporating a dozen dates with The Psychedelic Furs. UK shows included an appearance at the Forever Now festival held at Milton Keynes Bowl, The Guardian reporting that the “gnarled angst and integrity of Manchester’s ultimate cult band remains intact.”
Another North American tour commences shortly after the release of ‘Arctic Moon’, followed by mainland European dates from late October and a previously announced UK tour in November TOUR & TICKET INFO HERE.
Long cited as a hugely influential act, having inspired the likes of (The) Verve, Oasis, Interpol, The Killers, Editors and White Lies, Chameleons are renowned for their transformative catalogue and intense, emotionally charged live performances, creating a legacy that extends far beyond their four previously issued studio albums. Their widely acclaimed debut, ‘Script of the Bridge’ (1983), has been cited by many as a masterpiece way ahead of its time, and was followed by ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically!’ (1984), ‘Strange Times’ (1986) and ‘Why Call It Anything?’ (2001).
Their unique sound swiftly gained an audience with its mix of melancholic yet energetic and powerful tunes, hypnotic, ethereal riffs and a potent, timeless lyrical style. They are considered one of the most influential guitar bands of the ’80s and ’90s, contributing substantially to the post-punk, shoegaze and indie scenes.
2024 saw the release of two EPs that kicked off a new chapter for the band. ‘Where Are You?’ consisted of three new songs, while ‘Tomorrow Remember Yesterday’ featured five re-recorded archive tracks. The well-received ‘Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing’ was issued in late May 2025, setting the scene for ‘Arctic Moon’, an album that sees Chameleons propelling forward musically while retaining the essence that has made them iconic.

11.09.2025 - Covenant – Andreas

When Andreas Catjar-Danielsson left this world in the very early morning of July 29, 2024, it still came as a shock to his relatives and friends including his former band mates in COVENANT. Although the musicians had known for a while that their beloved friend and colleague was losing his epic struggle with cancer, the realisation of it actually happening landed with such a massive impact that nobody ever could have prepared for.
Exactly a year after this dreadful day, COVENANT have announced the “Andreas EP”, which is the Swedes’ first release in nearly a decade. The EP is a tribute to the dear friend and colleague lost but also intended for charity as all proceeds will be going to Andreas Catjar-Danielsson’s widow and their two children. “Andreas EP” contains five experimental tracks including two cover versions by YAZOO (“Winter Kills”) and LEE HAZLEWOOD (‘A Rider on a White Horse’).
COVENANT were conceived in the city of Helsingborg in Sweden’s southernmost province of Skåne, only a short boat trip away from Helsingør on the Danish side of the water in 1988 by a bunch of young lads that were inspired by the flourishing scene of European electronic music spearheaded by bands such as DEPECHE MODE, KRAFTWERK, THE HUMAN LEAGUE, and FRONT 242 to name but a few. COVENANT chose their name as a symbol of the especially strong bond of friendship that they shared.
Emerging from the parent’s basements and recording in their bedrooms, COVENANT were invited to publish their song ‘The Replicant’ on a label sampler in 1992, which created such a buzz that it was followed by a record deal. It took two more years, before the Swedes’ album debut ‘Dreams of a Cryotank’ detonated onto the electro scene with a massive impact in December 1994. The rest is already musical history.
Throughout their outstanding career, which is currently spanning nine acclaimed studio full-lengths and two live albums, COVENANT have always moved forward, searched for new exciting ways of expression, and pushed the boundaries of electronic music. Emotional intelligence combined with excellent musical craftsmanship, and a knack for catchy tunes has brought the Northern Europeans to the forefront of electronic music and made them a household name of the scene.
Dependent Records support this charity with all their hearts and will waive all proceeds from the “Andreas EP”.

10.09.2025 - Omen Code – Brutal and Pure

OMEN CODE reveal the grimdark cyperpunk track ‘Brutal + Pure‘ as the first single extracted from their forthcoming debut album “Alpha State“, which has been set to impact on December 5, 2025.
OMEN CODE comment: “This is probably my favourite track on ‘Alpha State'”, Kevin Gould writes. “I like the structure and the meaty mid-tempo pace. In this track many of my favourite elements come together. The chorus impacts as a solid wall of sound and Agi’s final verse sounds desperate… almost like he is pleading. Do you hear it, too?”
Tracklist
1. Isolate
2. Deform
3. Dead Zone
4. Ultra Fear
5. Apartment 213
6. Submerge
7. Tensor
8. Atrophy
9. Incubate
10. Contagion
11. Paralyze
12. Brutal + Pure
With their debut album “Alpha State”, OMEN CODE deliver the sound of the future – and the future is grim and dark! Their future is also firmly built upon the remains of the past. Certainly constructed to fill the dance floor, the international duo channels the bleak, cold precision of mid-tempo FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY and the cinematic story-telling soundscapes of John Carpenter electronics into a thrilling sound that is both resurrecting a classic 80s vibe and also fresh at the same time.
OMEN CODE are the new rising star on the EBM firmament. Deep, dark, and gritty industrial sounds are channelled into captivating mid-tempo tracks that create the atmospheric feeling of a dystopian future ruled by technology and marked by social decline.
This grimdark science fiction approach is not meant to indicate that OMEN CODE embrace any political agenda or message. Rather the international duo took inspiration from the writings of Philip K. Dick and Alfred Bester as well as cinematic masterpieces by British director Ridley Scott such as “Alien” and “Blade Runner” among others.
OMEN CODE were originally intended as a one-time project by Kevin Gould. The engineer, programmer, and lyricist was a member of the English Industrial EBM trio JOHNSON ENGINEERING CO. together with Sean Bailey and Ian Hicks, which released the album “Unleash” in 1988. He went on to found the electro-industrial act ELECTRO ASSASSIN with Ian Taylor. Following the release of “Jamming the Voice of the Universe” (1992), Taylor was replaced by Richard McKinlay with whom the next albums “Bioculture” (1993) and “The Divine Invasion” (1995) were recorded.
When vocalist and lyricist Agi Taralas was hand-picked from a stack of applications for the frontman position, the chemistry between the two artists proved so productive and strong that Gould and Taralas decided together to turn OMEN CODE into a permanent project that would also aim to perform live. The vocalist had already left his mark on the scene in a joint project with German electronic musician Stefan Böhm under the moniker OUR BANSHEE that released an album entitled “4200” in 2017.
Whether you want to indulge in shady dreams and evoke sinister futuristic images in cinemascopic visions or just move to dark electronics on the dancefloor, OMEN CODE offer the perfect soundscapes for both approaches to their music with the grandiose debut album “Alpha State”!
Line-up
Kevin Gould – engineer, programming, track construction, lyrics
Agi Taralas – vocals, lyrics
Recorded & engineered by Omen Code at Trauma Lab., London (UK)

28.03.2023 - new video single by BORN FOR BLISS will be released in April

After a long time there is new music from the Netherlands in the form of the video single "Don't Pray".
The lyrics of this track are a powerful commentary on the hypocrisy and emptiness of religious institutions and the people who lead them. The band's use of strong imagery and striking metaphors paints a vivid picture of their message, making it impossible to ignore.
The lyrics are delivered with a raw and emotional intensity that perfectly captures the frustration and disillusionment of the song's subject, encapsulating the band's disdain for the phoniness and insincerity of those in power. The backing vocals by Yvette Winkler (singer with Dark Wave band ‘Vaselyne’) perfectly complement Frank Weyzig’s voice, creating a harmonious blend that captures the emotions of the lyrics.
The band's alternative indie wave style is on full display here, showcasing their unique blend of influences and their ability to create something truly original.
Overall, "Don't Pray" is a standout track that showcases Born For Bliss's powerful songwriting and musicianship.
The band is currently working feverishly on new songs.

08.02.2023 - WINTER new studio album will be released in April

We are happy to announce the release of WINTER's new studio album "Looking Further Back" in cooperation with Wintergothic Records in April 2023.
This time, "Looking Further Back" presents newly mixed highlights from earlier times as well, but not exclusively. In fact, only six of the eleven titles are previously released material. Five songs are brand new and as of yet unreleased. (There are even six new tracks on the CD, the CD bonus track is already a foretaste of the new album “Heroes”, which will be released in autumn).
WINTER stays true to his course with "Looking Further Back". And that means that he basically doesn't have a rigorous line here either. Again, he moves within his self-defined framework, somewhere between AOR rock, hard rock, pop, wave and gothic. As always with a proper 80s touch and a feeling for catchy choruses that get stuck in the listener's ear.
The album will be released on CD (with a bonus track), as well as digitally and on strictly limited (300 copies) Black Dust splatter vinyl.
