Now available, the long awaited new album "Beneath The Ashes" by the Canadian electro-industrial project Fractured. A dense and compact album that never stays too long in one place, maintaining an air of tension throughout, just like an ancient continent foreshadowing its destruction. In other words, never a dull moment: club-ready electro tracks alternate with gentle ballads, always keeping the listener on their toes.

"Beneath The Ashes" already have made the "CD of the month" at elektrauma.de, the Sonic Seducer magazine calls the album "The dancefloor soundtrack for the last party of a lost generation." and the Orkus Magazine predicts: "It will be very difficult to overtake this album. 9/10 points!".

SKOLD waylays 2011 with his first solo album in 15 years! After delivering a snarky 8-track digital online single entitled "Suck" on April 15, the stage is already set for the May 20 release of the full CD album: "Anomie".

As "Suck" set the beachhead for SKOLD’s assault on the musical landscape of the new year, "Anomie" takes up the flag and fearlessly charges headlong into the musical fray. The album flows seamlessly through the cocksure swagger of “(This Is My) Elephant” and “Satellite”, the machinegun-rhythms of “Angel Of Noise” seething menace of tracks like “Becoming” are perfectly balanced by the danceable, driving tempo of “Tonight”. Don’t be mistaken, the album has its intensely personal moments. The songs “Miserably Never After” and “The Hunger” show Tim Skold baring his heart, beautifully. Anomie proves SKOLD steps up once again, supplying sonic solvent for the huffing social cynics.

"Anything That Gets You Through The Night“ was the unusual title of the second album from Edge of Dawn, the collaboration between producer Mario Schumacher and Seabound singer/psychology professor Frank M. Spinath. Released at the end of May 2010 to praise from press and fans alike, the album spent multiple weeks at the top of DAC charts. One of the high points of the album is the song "Lucid Dreams“, for which a video was filmed in early 2011. Edge Of Dawn singer Frank M. Spinath explains the story told in the song:

“During my US tour with Seabound and Iris in Spring 2008 I heard a lot of different stories, some of them downright unsettling. One story in particular I found so fascinating that I eventually wrote it down, and out of that came the lyrics to “Lucid Dreams“.

Dismantled is the product of a musical experiment that began in late 2000 by Gary Zon, who was attempting to create something similar to Front Line Assembly's sound. As Gary began further sonic construction by drawing influences from television, movies, and music as well as adding vocals into the mix, his project developed a unique and progressive character. The resulting sound was a unique blend of very melodic, yet complex mix of layered electro-industrial merged with trance elements. Dismantled continues in this fashion with the new album "The War Inside Me".
