MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPE - LP & CD

Manufactured Landscape: The journey is dense, landscapes are various but invariably grazed. There is one constant thing, the weather: dark, grey, threatening, always on the edge of spitting its downpour; the deluge is close, so close, too close…
This new album must be walked, like to path of existence is walked, quickly or slowly, but always in a chaotic way. Hardly controlled hatred explosions, moments of perfect appeasement, the listener is trapped between hyper melodic tunes and savage parts full of aggression. Yes, modern hardcore has still something left to say…

Hand numbered collector edition in silver printed digifile + insert.

RORCAL (ch)

ABOUT
Born in 2006 in Geneva, Rorcal is delivering a slow and disturbing doomcore. After having released their first demo in 2007, they’ve collaborated with the Swiss act Kehlvin for the record of a 30 minutes song, Ascension, including the whole ten musicians. Then they’ve released Monochrome, their video/musical concept, an album which prove their incessant need to experiment with a lot of ingredients. Their first full-length album, Myrra, Mordvynn, Marayaa, was a pure fucking Armageddon, black, noisy, crushing, slow and gloomy. After more than 50 shows across Europe, they’re now releasing their new masterpiece, Heliogabalus. There’s no need to say that Rorcal is one of the most promising band in Switzerland. Get ready, you’ll be blown away.

MY OWN PRIVATE ALASKA (fr)

ABOUT
This band IS the originality, as it evolves as a destructive trio: Keyboard, drums and screamings. This music has absolutely no point of comparison, maybe one might describe it as ‘screamo played by Chopin’, but this will not give an accurate idea of what is going on here. So, if you’re looking for new sensations, for an emotional storm or for rough beauty, this ep is exactly what you need.

LOST SPHERE PROJECT (ch)

ABOUT
This is not a band, this is a war. This is not an album, this is a battlefield. This is not music, this is nuclear explosion.
There’s no escape, you are trapped somewhere dark and gloomy, there is this man who scream like if he is burning in hell, those guitars which sound like gun shots and this drummer who is perfectly insane.
This band is sheer brutality and mind dementia. This band is not human.
