100blumen - Under Siege

Press Release
Unteachable electronic-drum´n´bass-punk-down-and-outs 100blumen favour us all with their new album UNDER SIEGE in early summer 2015. This incredibly good looking flowerpowertrio from Düsseldorf, Germoney, is going to blast you all with their unrivalled vein, a wild mixture of electronic elements, punk rock and crusty hardcore and that really really overrunning drums. From the slowly assembling opener “Time Loop”, across the eulogistic “Hinterland”, to the electro-crust-bomb “Darkness” or the drum´n´bass-darkrave thunderstorm “Is anything wrong” at the end – 100blumen on Under Siege endow us 8 strong hits. With no uncalled-for dead weight they manage to combine anger and despair with a fierce attitude, playfulness and that typical for 100blumen rowdiness. For which one just has to love them. Furthermore this album – for the first time in 100blumen history – will appear on vinyl. SO GET UNDER SIEGE!

100blumen - Distrust Authority

Press Release
At beginning of 2012 this notorious project from düsseldorf developed and grew from the duo of marcel and chris van blumen into a mighty trio, completed by drummer malte who has many years of performing and recording under his belt in several punk bands. it may have taken a year of persuasion for marcel and chris to convince malte to join - but in short it was worth the effort. in fact, all three members were born in the same city (actually at the same hospital) so it was only going to be a matter of time before they completed this crackingly good consolidation. on 'distrust authority' 100blumen assimilate a wide range of influences from oldschool hardcore and noise rock to electro breaks and even dubstep. the result is a dense, highly explosive barrage of acoustic and electronic sound attacks - dirty, mean, massive and emotional. if you compare the original versions of 'klimaveränderung' and 'unbreakable' from the 'down with the system...' album with the reworked tracks on this album, the difference the lineup change has made is clearly audible. deep subbasses and atmospheric synth sequences backed by tight beats are topped with slicing guitar chords and furious vocal assaults - the aggression of (post) punk is paired with the complexity of breakbeat and electro. open up your mind - listen hard - distrust authority!

100blumen - Floral Annihilation

Press Release
although the electronic sound assaults seems like a long way from this artist's punk rock roots, the inspiration from punk prophets like conflict, discharge and crass is still of great importance to 100blumen - that is a citizen of full age, the scrutinization of authorities, politics and beliefs. but he does not consider his music 'political'; however track titles and some samples can be used as thought provoking impulses - if the listener decides to.
musically, 'floral annihilation' is a consolidated package of energetic, percussive pieces, interlaced with many facets of electronic sounds - repetitive, impulsive and suggestive. 100blumen focuses on a balance between hard danceable industrial noise (characterized by the artist's own description of 'polyrhythmic rock and roll') and lo-fi influenced less aggressive tunes. all this is combined with a 100blumen / loss collaboration ('pussywillow') and two remixes by p.a.l and heimstatt yipotash. this cd is a truly fine follow up to 'in floriculture there is no law!'

Release Date
21st October 2007

Press Release
100blumen's roots are in guitar (punk, grindcore and metal). from the beginning his political stance was anti-fascist and he still characterizes himself as an anarchist. he discovered industrial music in 1997 after debuting as a vocalist in a punk band and a few years later he started experimenting with electronic equipment. in 2005 he founded the 'le petit machiniste' label and the project that became 100blumen...
although the project's name was taken from the mao zedong quote, (which sounds harmless at first but culminated in terribly oppressed freedom of expression) 100blumen's musical aim is not necessarily political. in his own words, music is an articulation of emotions: "not exactly the adequate means to express myself, but so far there is no better one available".
what you are about to hear is a sheer outburst of distorted noise, chopped sequences and hard driving beats. an edgy fusion of energy and aggression, rooted in the roughness of punk without any stylish teenage riot nostalgia. essentially the sound is the power of innocent machines forced to run amok. this is the continuation of what started with the no-fi industrial movement way back in the eighties. music that keeps you awake. music that forces you to think. music to make you move. let a hundred flowers bloom.

100blumen - Le Soleil N'est Pas Pour Nous

Press Release
inspired by the french author léo malet’s eponymous novel, le soleil n'est pas pour nous (the sun does not shine for us) implies beauty, melancholy and sadness on the highest levels. ranging from deep melodic synthpads and piano lines merged with syncopated beats and monstrous basses all the way to a sound collage with appositional field recordings and tuneful punk guitars, this five track ep displays the wide scope and dynamic range of 100blumen's ambient aspect.

100blumen - Surveillance

Press Release
'the surveillance continues to multiply. the accountability continues to diminish.' (brian trent: 'freedom under surveillance, part I')
since the beginning 100blumen have constituted a firm combination of powerful electronics and political acuteness. started as a one man project by marcel van blumen, the project amplified to a duo after chris van blumen's guitar supported marcel during live performances and on a few past tracks - now chris is a permanent band member and together they're stronger than ever. on the fourth album on ant-zen their versatility is audible on each track, way beyond any 'industrial' or 'electropunk' clichés.
supported by l. delogne (le moderniste) who is responsible for the spoken word on 'la fin absolue du monde' and 16pad noise terrorist collaborating on 'dig that shizzel', 100blumen have created a deep expression of 'feelings while living in a surveillance society'. this album contains a multilateral spectrum of vibes ranging from melancholic violence to belligerence. a multitude of rhythmic variations - broken and straight - appended with stirring basses lay the groundwork for subtle melodic excursions, synthesized fury and razor-sharp six-string attacks, all kept together with epic artificial string entries. stylistic boundaries are non-existent: ambient, technoid industrial, punk an...

Buy it on Bandcamp
100blumen - I Love Violence

Press Release
four years after the first self released 7" 'against the snails', 100blumen return with a new consolidated 2 track dose on vinyl format. 'i love violence' transforms this outstanding band's treatment of (apparently) antithetic style into a unique statement of anger, corrosiveness and power. 'world of grief' is a hazardous blast of technoid industrial and kicks your ass with the repulsive force of a solid fuel rocket! vibrant synths carried by pulsing breakbeats erect the foundation for the memorable lyrics, which are adapted from the hymn of the spanish anarcho-syndical union cnt. you might be vexed while listening to the mellow string introduction on the flip side but then you will be caught short by an abrupt heavy guitar and a fast rock drum kit. tempo variations will only offer you a little reprieve from this track's merciless speed. influenced by bands like tragedy and from ashes rise, 'i love violence' is a perfect combination of punk and electronics. this 7" is available on black vinyl with poster cover and sticker - including mp3-download-code. stay vigilant in a world of grief!

Press Release
100blumen's third album on ant-zen is a very comprehensive and elaborate one that displays a perfect merging of powerful rhythmic floral industrial and haunting technoid ambience.
throbbing dance sledge hammers like 'the unrest', 'the anger' and the electro anarchic power noise anthem 'unbreakable' prove that this artist is one of the leading present day industrial masters. another facet of 100blumen's mastery can be experienced on atmospheric tracks like 'tired green' where hypnotic repetitive patterns and puissant sub-bass create a continuous hypnotic flow. the album's conclusion, 'klimaveränderung' combines m.nickels' punk roots with hammering e-beats and electroacoustic sound collages - an amazing collaboration with guitarist c.tiegelkamp and marching dynamics' shane talada.
this is another step of the one man army 100blumen's plan to destroy all flower haters with the burning beats of anarchy... and after that, he will have a drink. eat the rich or die trying!
