Interview withBacio di Tosca
The dark-romantic music of BACIO DI TOSCA fascinates above all with the manifold classical chant of Dörthe Flemming, who already made herself a name as the singer of the band CHARITONA. Therefore she doesn’t simply jump on the bandwagon of nowadays popular heavenly voices bands but without exaggeration can be named one of the originators of that genre. After several years taking an artistic rest she now presents her first solo release ‘Der Tod und das Mädchen’ (Engl. Death and the girl), which can be placed in the neoclassical genre. Stylistically BACIO DI TOSCA is a recollection to the German Kunstlied (art song or lieder), popular during the romantic period. For instance Dörthe Flemming puts composers like Schubert and poets like Heinrich Heine, Mathias Claudius and Karoline von Günderrode in a new gloomy and melancholy dress - a "must have" for fans of bands like DEAD CAN DANCE, DIE VERBRANNTEN KINDER EVAS or SOPOR AETERNUS.

Interview withThe Birthday Massacre
"Walking with Strangers", like both of their previous albums, encompasses a wide range of influences from many contrasting musical genres. This contrast has always been a key part of the appeal of The Birthday Massacre. Their past recordings have consisted of melodic songs with unsettling lyrics; ominous music that all of a sudden becomes colourful and danceable; crushing guitars backing angelic vocals. Even their name is a contradiction. But there is a difference about this album.
