Interview withTorul
Some bands follow trends, and then there are bands like TORUL, who exist in a realm entirely their own, sculpting soundscapes that defy convention while resonating with deep emotional complexity. With their latest album, ‘Superposition’, the Slovenian trio once again pushes the boundaries of Darkwave, Synthpop, and alternative electronic music, crafting an experience that is both introspective and electrifying. Much like the quantum principle of superposition, the album explores the idea of existing in multiple states at once - emotionally, musically, and thematically. It is an album of paradoxes: sleek yet raw, melancholic yet uplifting, precise yet organic.

Interview with Séverine Cayron & Jérôme Vandewattyne from Pornographie Exclusive & Yannick Franck from Antibody Label
PORNOGRAPHIE EXCLUSIVE is a Belgian duo, a couple both on stage and in life, composed of Séverine Cayron and Jérôme Vandewattyne. Their music shatters the boundaries between musical genres, concocting an alchemical blend of Cold-Wave, Goth-Rock, Psychedelic, Darkwave, Shoegaze, Krautrock, Techno, Industrial influences, all sublimated by a cinematographic dimension. Both artists are also active in the seventh art: Séverine as an actress and Jérôme as a film director. And, the cherry on the cake, Séverine plays the cello wonderfully, giving their concerts a decidedly epic breath. They play so-called cine-concerts, in which they play their songs live while there is a screening, behind them, of their movie ‘One-Way Ticket To The Other Side’. They do it in movie theatres but it's also possible in “normal” music venues.

Interview withDavid Reiterer (vocals) from Lucy Dreams
I had the exclusive pleasure of listening to LUCY DREAMS’ upcoming single ‘Be Here Now’ ahead of its release on March 28, and their performance at EMPATHY TEST’s show in Leipzig only reinforced what makes them such a compelling act. Their music is more than just a blend of electronic soundscapes and pop sensibilities - it’s an evolving concept, a fusion of human creativity and artificial intelligence that raises questions about the future of music, technology, and existence itself.

Interview with Jana Komaritsa (music, vocals) from Darkrad
We have known each other through the Industrial scene for almost 20 years, yet we’ve only met face-to-face twice so far. Despite the distance, our shared passion for music and art has kept our connection alive. This year, I hope that changes - I missed her stunning performance at Club Debil in January, but with the opening of her own space, WonderCat, in Leiden, I am looking forward to hearing more from her in the near future. In this interview, we dive into her journey of artistic transformation, the challenges of moving countries, and the deeply personal process of bringing WonderCat to life.

Interview withChris Harms
Chris Harms, the frontman of the renowned German band LORD OF THE LOST, is set to unveil his debut solo album, ‘1980’. Scheduled for release on February 7, 2025, under Napalm Records, this album is the realization of a long-held dream. With ‘1980’, Harms immerses listeners in the nostalgic synth-driven sounds of the 80s, blending elements of electronic music, New Wave, and Gothic aesthetics - a departure from the signature guitar-heavy sound of LORD OF THE LOST.
