http://alfa-matrix-store.com/mondtraume 

( ;D --> Mondträume originates in the mind of Pikotto in 2010 with the purpose of creating a sound based on melodic electronic music, with just a theme in active (Life is Short) he manages to appear on Extreme Sündenfall vol. 10, with the participation of another singer. Not really fulfilled with the final result, he keeps on searching for that special voice. In late 2011, Pikotto meets Damasius finding the missing vocal part, remaking Life is Short and it is then when Mondträume consolidates as a band and achieves the desired harmony between base and voice.)

KANT KINO inject the distorted force of the 90's dark elektro genre into their strong 80's EBM roots to render dark body music with distorted vocals and a strong sense for melody. Have you ever dared to have the forbidden thought of hearing a fresh combination of HOCICO or WUMPSCUT’s distorted darkness with the melodic EBM side of classic acts like NITZER EBB or LEAETHER STRIP? Expect EBM with the Norwegian seal of quality!)

TRIARII

www.facebook.com/TRIARIIHeadquarters 

( ;D -->Triarii represents a particular figure in the ambient music area, this through the force of expression and originality. Throughout the duration of every track, the listener finds him/herself being bombarded by unusual and unique percussion's that differ through their aggressiveness and military cadence. On Wikipedia we find the explanation of the term: Triarii were spear-men in the armies of the early Roman Republic. They were oldest and among the wealthiest men in the army. The music expressed by this German project (based in Berlin) matches the description; it is anthem like, warrior like through concept and through message.)

Martial Canterel 

https://martialcanterel.bandcamp.com/ 

www.facebook.com/M.Canterel 

( ;D --> Martial Canterel is the solo project of Brooklyn-based musician Sean McBride (who also performs as half of the duo Xeno & Oaklander). Guardian figure of the new school of analogue electronic music, he has cast his shadow over the entire synth scene of the past 15 years. Crafting his electronic sound in a peculiar intersection between avant-garde and pop, Martial Canterel merges the influences of the first wave of underground minimal electronic bands from northern Europe with seminal industrial noise bands while simultaneously giving nods to the smoothly stylish song craft of early French and British New Wave. Martial Canterel is definitely one of the most talented artist in electronic underground music of our time. Each and every single song of him is just gripping. The music stands in the tradition of the past, but is characterized by a super-intense signature sound which is full of melancholy. The mysterious lyrics and the brilliant voice that seems to be absent and emotional at the same time add to the sinister mood of the tracks. If you are only a little bit into Minimal Wave or Synthpop, you can't ignore Martial Canterel. And if you don't, this could be your entrance ticket into this musical territory!.)

As a pioneer, he above all preserves an original style, an increasingly experimental, simultaneously ruthless and unrelenting interpretation of modern Techno, instantly recognizable.)

www.facebook.com/officialmortiis 

( ;D --> Mortiis is a band from Notodden, Norway fronted by Håvard Ellefsen, who is also known as the namesake of the band. The name is a misspelling of the word 'mortis', which is the pronunciation used by the band. Mortiis started as the solo project of Ellefsen as a means to convey a story. This aspect was lost over time and Mortiis slowly formed into a band. Created by Havard Ellefsen in 1993, with the intention to record very depressive music in Transylvanian castles. Due to electricity problems this did not happen. Has been ever evolving, shunned and adored ever since.)

Massive Ego 

www.massiveego.co.uk/ 

( ;D --> Marc Massive makes a surprise solo reemergence in the form of a short film. After a breakdown forced an immediate withdrawal from the band he’d fronted since 1996, Massive Ego. With all the band's social media disappearing overnight, and only a brief ‘break-up’ statement left for the confused fans to evaluate. But time heals and creativity never dies. Reinvention and rejuvenation born out of self- help, therapy and discovering your inner spirit through meditation, manifesting, reading and writing. Leaving what died behind, but importantly letting the new ideas breathe.)
