The young industrial/EBM label Complete Control Productions (CCP) from Stockholm had a busy year in 2011 and apparently they have no intention of slowing down now, as they have a slew of upcoming stuff. Guilt Trip have a new single coming out, in preparation of the new album in February. EBM act The Pain Machinery released no less than two albums last year, "Auto Surveillance" and "Surveillance Culture". There's also a a sort of "best of" album called "Digital Surveillance" with tracks from those two albums, made especially for the streaming market (Spotify et al). They are working hard on a new album slated for a May release. CCP will start a sub-label based on Infiltrator's old label, releasing old-school industrial, mostly on cassette! Last, but not least, CCP is putting together a 2CD compilation with all their artists, as well as newcomers. Tentatively called "Inside the Volcano" it will feature The Pain Machinery, Infiltrator, Severe Illusion, Arzt+Pfusch and Guilt Trip. Necro Facility won "best synth" at Manifest Awards Feb 4, 2012 | By: Mikael Kahrle (Gothenburg, Sweden)
The annual Swedish Manifest Awards were held yesterday at Nalen, Stockholm. This award show celebrates independent artists and labels, often working fuelled by passion and creativity alone. Awards are given to such diverse genres as dance, rhythm, hip hop, jazz, folk, singer/songwriter, dansband (Swedish schlager-type music), experimental, rock, pop and of course synth. This year's winner in our beloved genre was Necro Facility who said they were shocked but happy. - We really didn't expect this, said Henrik Bäckström - 50% of Necro Facility. You might have noticed that we didn't have a speech prepared, hehe. But it's nice to win! Analogue synth sounds from Flood Feb 2, 2012 | By: Johan Carlsson (Stockholm, Sweden)
