Press Release Access to Restricted Area: Restricted Area, from Sweden, have been around for quite a while, way before the growth of today’s electro and ebm scene with bands such as Covenant or Spetsnaz and have had a huge impact on the scene. The band released the first single entitled “Ett Gammalt Bergstroll” in 1994 which quickly became somewhat of an underground classic. The band has had numerous constellations throughout the years with songwriter and vocalist Peter Elm being the constant driving-force behind the project. Equally featuring on a number of albums is charismatic Emma Johansson, adding a new dimension to the songs. Although not easily labelled, RA’s music can best be described as ranging from melancholic electro to relentless, uncompromising EBM in its purest definition. Lyrics deal with life, love and loss, as well as aggression and integrity (a forgotten word in today’s society). 2012 marks a new start for Restricted Area. They are back, stronger than ever, ready to take on the world with a brand new EP Wear & Tear.

Press Release After 7 years of absence (the last release being Fun and Fearless, Life Is Painful Records) Restricted Area are back with an extremely strong and well-defined double album that is sure to astonish every listener! The new double CD is entitled “Core Excess” and consists of CD 1: a powerful yet melancholic electro/synthpop album and CD 2 (Underdog E.P.): an in-your-face, 10-track EBM album in its purest definition. “Core Excess” (out on EK Product) is a top quality product ready to become a true classic! It represents the best work by Peter Elm who is in his artistic flair peak! What immediately stands out is the fact that the entire work is very carefully crafted in all its aspects, from the high-quality music production to the expressive strength of the artwork, with etchings by the artist Alicia Batalow. Restricted Area’s comeback is not only a strong album that will reassure the band’s well-deserved place in the history of electronic music. It is also a deeply moving, enjoyable and unconventional piece of work!
