Upcoming album with Portion Control Mar 28, 2012 | By: Tobias Eliasson (Gothenburg, Sweden)
The electronic pioneers in Portion Control are set to release a new album on April 16 called “Pure Form”. 14 new songs will be presented and this time they will work with the label Other Sounds, a division of Cherry Red Records. This also reunites the band with Dave Henderson, who released “Psycho-Bod Saves the World” on his label Dead Man’s Curve in 1986. If you order the album through the band's website you will also get some stickers and a poster. And be sure to check out the video below for some snippets. Kent back with “999” in just a week Mar 21, 2012 | By: Johan Carlsson (Stockholm, Sweden)
If you're on Twitter, you could follow an interesting (and drunk) Twitter drama where all four members of Kent posted about their adventures in Italy recently. And somewhere in the middle, they suddenly decided to announce their new single via the social network as well. Then the press release arrived. The track is called "999", is 6.53 long, and it's out on March 28. It's closely followed by their tenth album "Jag är inte rädd för döden" (means I'm not afraid of death) on April 25. As you might have read in our On Stage section, Kent is going on tour around Scandinavia this summer as well, in support of the album. They start in Helsinki, Finland on June 27, going through Sweden during the summer and ending in Bergen, Norway in August 25. Another Skinny Puppy live album Mar 21, 2012 | By: Johan Carlsson (Stockholm, Sweden) Metropolis just announced that they're releasing a Skinny Puppy live album. It's called "Bootlegged, Broke and In Solvent Seas", and was recorded in Warsaw, Bratislava, Hildesheim and Budapest during their last tour. The material hasn't been edited or tinkered with, it sounds exactly as it sounded on the day. Look for it on June 12. Assemblage 23 brings us "Bruise" in June Mar 16, 2012 | By: Johan Carlsson (Stockholm, Sweden)
Tom Shear and his project Assemblage 23 gave us a really strong album last time, namely "Compass". It will be interesting to see how the follow-up sounds, and we will soon find out, as "Bruise" comes out on June 12, via Metropolis. As is the norm these days, it will come as a two disc special edition with an extra CD with exlusive tracks and remixes by folks such as Daniel Myer and Grendel. Bill Leeb: New Delerium album on its way Mar 16, 2012 | By: Johan Carlsson (Stockholm, Sweden) Bill Leeb has stated on his Facebook page that a new Delerium album is finished, mastered and just waiting for artwork.
