Press Release After their considerably faster-than-average EP earlier this year, TPROE return with an album more in their classic sound on the verge of rhythm noise and industrial hardcore. Eleven tracks that never tire in their energetic drive; combining the gritty, repetitive sound aesthetics made popular by the German industrial acts with a strictly straight bass drum sound clearly revealing their hardcore heritage, all in a quality up-to-date production that leaves nothing to be desired. The ride begins with the wind-swept wasteland conjured up by the opener “Uzumaki” at pounding 130 bpm, and encompasses more classically rhythm noise tracks like the self-explanatory “Krach” or “Bigger Beat” as well as those with a distinctly technoid swagger, like “Master Noise”. On the course to oblivion, they also throw in occasional canyon-deep breaks and speech samples (“Dark Vortex”) for good measure, and the speed increases impalpably but relentlessly, culminating in the noisy onslaught of “Eat Dirt” or “Mask of Sanity” and the 170+ bpm sound collage “Overlord” concluding the album. Surely not on the course to oblivion are TPROE, this album will much rather increase their fan base in the different camps attracted!
Press Release The Peoples Republic Of Europe, industrious Dutch industrial outfit, returns with a hard-as-nails, slightly unusual fast and traight 4-track EP. And while the beat kicks in - and remains - at blistering uptempo darkcore speed, there's of course The Peoples Republic Of Europe's trademark experimental flavour to spice up each track: A mock rave signal of unclear origin in "Into The Dangerzone", eerie atmospheres and metallic sounds in "Redline", washes of distortion and numbing breaks in "Bulldozer" and a subliminal buildup structure in "Brute Force". A convincing and concise 22 minutes, simply!

Press Release There is a lot of turmoil in the world today. Mr Snowden has unveiled the massive surveillance project of the NSA. Freedoms worldwide are being diminished, like Russia with its anti LGTB laws, England with its anti-porn regulations and severe misuses of power in the USA. Many people responded to this negatively and are protesting this. But most do not see the big picture. Lots of people think the powers that be are dumb and do not see the right solutions. But i think they very well do understand what is going on, and react accordingly. There are too many people on this planet. For many years the population growth went unckecked because for some odd reason culling our own numbers seemed politically incorrect. But growth cannot go on forever, and we are nearing the treshold quick. The powers that be KNOW this. And while they talk about their fake economic recoveries and stimulus plans, they are secretly planning for the day shit hits the fan. This is why the NSA controls the internet. This is why increasingly intrusive laws are proposed. The powers that be needs instruments to control the masses in case the economy breaks down spectacularly like in 1929 and most certainly even worse. The crash will be bigger and the crowds are bigger since those days. Extreme violence and revolutions will most certainly me the result. The powers that be can't have that. They want their priviliges uncontested, so they move new instruments of law into place, give permissions for massive ...
