Klutae is finally back! Claus Larsen (Leæther Strip) is back with new electro punk material under his alter ego side project Klutae.

This release contains no guitars, becasue this EP is dedicated to the supporters of the EBM scene. Electro Punks Unite! KLUTAE traditionally stands for a more punkish “in ya face attitude” with tongue-in-cheek lyrics and “angst-til-ya-bust” old-school elektro arrangements. And it’s with that very characteristic sense of humour that Claus Larsen invites us now on another extravaganza journey through desert storms, biker orgies, hell fires, death valley saloons and other sexy parties.

Band:DISTORTED MEMORY
Album:SWALLOWING THE SUN
Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
Finally, almost 4 years after the great debut "Burning Heaven", the Canadian project DISTORTED MEMORY releases a powerful follow-up "Swallowing the Sun". "Swallowing the Sun" comes up with a more mature sound than the first album, moving away from terror EBM into darker, more organic Dark Electro sound with a large tribal/ethnic element. Perfectly integrated OldSchool-elements create a timeless album with epic and powerful choruses. Vocals on "Swallowing the Sun" are less processed but more aggressive. The concept behind the album describes a doomed world where man has destroyed nature and has fallen from power. Mastermind Jeremy Pillipow created a masterpiece of music, which combines traditional DISTORTED MEMORY elements with new and surprising aspects. Mastering was done by X-FUSION Music Production. As special bonus, "Swallowing the Sun" contains an exclusive DIE SEKTOR remix.

Band:ATOMIC NEON
Album:CHANGE
Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH
Format:CD
Genre:Dark Wave/Goth
Atomic Neon is one of the most impressing ColdWave bands of our time. With their unique and brillant way of combining the melancholy of Wave music from the 80ies and the feeling of getting lost in our modern society of the new millenium, Atomic Neon release their new album "Change" which is a masterpiece full of emotions filled with soul - an album so private and personal (I am Black, Alien) but still with room enough to find yourselves in the depth of emotional labyrinths. Two years after the highly respected album "Darkenia", "Change" shows that Atomic Neon really went through some fundamental changes. This album is different - but also typical for Atomic Neon. Again there are songs about misery (I Hate My Love, Alone), sadness (Weep) and love gone lost (Without You). New powerful tracks (Change, Welt Ohne Farbe) go hand in hand with tender (Last Night, My Cry Of Pain) and fragile songs (Empty, She)! Distorted guitars, atmospheric keyboards, dark bass lines and haunting drums accentuate lamenting vocals. Atomic Neon's "Change" is honest, dark, melancholic and full of pain!

Band:DIE SEKTOR
Album:APPLIED STRUCTURE IN A VOID
Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
For fans of enigmatic American electro-industrial outfit DIE SEKTOR, it has been a long 4 year wait since the release of their impressive debut "“To Be Fed Upon" (2006). “Applied Structure In A Void” is the eagerly-anticipated follow-up: and the first material to feature the return of original member Daniel Gant and new member Edwin Alter, joining forces with core members Scott Denman and Alan Smith. Mastered by world-renowned sound engineer Brian “Big Bass” Gardner (DR. DRE, KMFDM, NINE INCH NAILS), “Applied Structure In A Void” is a diverse, powerful and accomplished piece that reflects the years of work spent crafting it. Retaining the epic song-structures familiar from “To Be Fed Upon”, “Applied Structure In A Void” marks a new maturity in the development of DIE SEKTOR’s sound - placing less emphasis on distorted vocals and EBM beats in favour of more thoughtful (even experimental) arrangements that incorporate elements from a wide spectrum of musical genres. With “Applied Structure In A Void”, as ever, DIE SEKTOR continue to adhere to their declared aim of producing “powerful, emotional and innovative electronic music”. Originally formed as a duo by Gant and Denman in 2002, DIE SEKTOR were quickly signed to leading German harsh-EBM label NoiTekk following the self-release of their 5-track demo “Scraping The Flesh” in 2004. The acclaimed debut album “To Be Fed Upon”, mastered by Kolja Trelle (SOMAN), was released by NoiTekk in 2006 – and later by Russian label Gravitator in 2007. Subsequently DIE SEKTOR have remixed several high-profile artists in the electroindustrial scene including DAWN OF ASHES, GRENDEL, and most recently ALIEN VAMPIRES, CEDIGEST and DETROIT DIESEL

Band:DYM
Album:THE SWARM
Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
Featured on MTV America throughout the Christmas and New Year period with their track “Little Drummer Boy” used as the music for commercials for the TV series “Skins”, we are now proud to present the brand new feature-length EP from Canadian harsh-EBM/dark electronica duo DYM! DYM have played live in their native Canada with leading acts such as COMBICHRIST, AMDUSCIA, and PSYCHE – including 2009’s EBM Fest with GRENDEL and DECODED FEEDBACK and Kinetik Festival with GRENDEL, REAPER, SOMAN and AESTHETIC PERFECTION. After a series of excellent remixes in 2009 for CEDIGEST, GRENDEL, ACYLUM, UNTER NULL and C-LEKKTOR, DYM have finally completed the follow-up to 2008’s “The Invilid” (NoiTekk/Cop International). Again merging the sequenced sounds of harsh-EBM with lements of breakcore and glitching, DYM draw influences from “old-school” industrial acts like fellow-Canadians SKINNY PUPPY and the rhythm and noise of VENETIAN SNARES to create their own unique brand of dark and quirky electronica. Mastered by Kolja Trelle (SOMAN), “The Swarm” is an extended EP/mini-album of 6 brand new tracks plus a colossal bonus section of no less than 10 remixes – one of each track from “The Invilid”, presented in the exact same track order as the original! The remixes come from top electro-industrial scene names like AMDUSCIA, C-LEKKTOR, PREEMPTIVE STRIKE 0.1, ENCEPHALON, FRACTURED and labelmates DIE SEKTOR.

Band:FLINT GLASS POLARLICHT 4.1 TRANSISTOR
Album:ZORANS EQUATION
Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
These two well know projects in industrial oriented electronica scene, Flint Glass and Polarlicht 4.1-Transistor joint there efforts in this 10 tracks collaboration concept album inspired by the famous novel “La nuit des temps” of French author René Barjavel, reveals a balancing act between industrial-noise, experimental music and cinematic dark electronica evoking imaginary places and arctic icy atmospheres. “Zoran’s Equation” is based mostly on track-sources from Polarlich 4.1 ‘s hypnotizing arranged soundscapes supplemented by Flint Glass’s rhythms constructions, dark atmospheres and background noises, arising to a rarely listened combination. Two artistic minds fused into one, creating a movie with sonic turbulence and heavy surging movement heaves restlessly, reminiscent in places of the sound of one's own muffled breathing heard under ice - the sound of an uneasy sleeping landscape as dense waves of sound reverberate in rhythmic complexity. A concept album for anyone who has a liking for dark ambient music, experimental electronica, noisy sounds and especially for those listeners who appreciate both projects solo efforts.

Band:JESUS AND THE GURUS
Album:WUT + ZORN
Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
The world trembles in fear – Jesus and the Gurus announce a new album! No honeysweet melodies and mellow synth-sounds but brute Industrial merged with cynical lyrics against everything moving. With their new album “Wut+Zorn=Revolution (Anger+Rage=Revolution)” Jesus and the Gurus give a new definition to Industrial-Metal. Iron noises and dirty analogue synths meet distorted walls of guitar-sounds and martial marching rhythms lead by a dark, deep voice. What originally constituted Industrial – rebellion, aggressive sounds of steel, staccato rhythms and a doomy atmosphere – is reawakening to new life with Jesus and the Gurus. Industrial, Metal, Electro and bombastic soundscapes merge into a brute storm of sounds, carrying the typical signature by Jesus and the Gurus. Thundering drums invite to a stomping dance into the downfall. Drastically and mercilessly Jesus and the Gurus settle the account for the consumer’s society, the political situation and the music-business. Their self-ironic lyrics on “Wut+Zorn=Revolution” question the corrupted compromises of the dumb masses. The provocative band is the sting in the flesh of the harmony-indigent Swiss. Because instead of trying to seem neutral Jesus and the Gurus scream their opinion out loud.

Band:PLASMODIVM
Album:THE POST MODERN PROMETHEUS
Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
After the excellent worldwide reception of his debut "Paradise under Fire" Plasmodivm comes back with "The Post-Modern Prometheus", a non-conformist, defiant and fresh work, which combines part of the trend started in his previous work, with more melodic elements, both at vocal and musical levels. More than repeating schemes and structures, he offers surprising results beyond the present stagnant electro-dark scene. A record whose position, mixture of influences, sound power, use of film-samplings and excellent production, locates it between bands like Velvet Acid Christ, Wumpscut, Leaether Strip, Suicide Commando and others, more melodic, like SITD, Solitary Experiments, Destroid or Assemblage 23.

Band:VIGILANTE
Album:THE NEW RESISTANCE
Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
ALL STAR INDUSTRIAL ROCK- CHECK OUT THE TRACK LISTING!!!! In these times, when we are faced with a world where our leaders more and more take away our liberties and rights every day. In these times, when we wake up in a society where we feel more and more controlled and paralysed by the media every day. With his latest album, the South American artist VIGILANTE wants to break the chains of an unfair system. According to himself, this is his best record so far in a short but intense career. He describes it as "the soundtrack for a new revolution" provocatively naming it "The New Resistance". By skillfully mixing elements of Electro, EBM and Metal, he created a hybrid, powerful and passionate sound. Ivan Muñoz joined a group of musical underground heroes including members of Clawfinger, Ministry, Strapping Young Lad, Public Enemy, Atari Teenage Riot, Leaether Strip, Die Krupps, Birmingham 6, Feindflug and many more. They form an alliance which confronts the minds of those who believe that they own the world and that the flame of revolution has been extinguished.This revolutionary musical manifesto demonstrates that there are still dreams to fight for, truths to be told and ideals to die for. Join The New Resistance!

Band:PRAGER HANDGRIFF
Album:ARBEIT SPORT AND SPIEL
Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
The ‘Ruhrpott’ (Ruhr-Area) is Germany’s by far biggest conglomeration of industrial estates – a tumour-like accumulation of industrial parks, smoking chimneys, noisy motorways, stinking rivers and cities such as Duisburg, Essen, Dortmund or Herne whose names have become synominous in Germany with DIRTY, UGLY, NOISY, SHATTERED areas. In short: A region THAT f***ed up, that today naïve tourists are visiting the ‘Ruhrpott’, to get a glimpse of an idea, of how East Germany must have looked like before the reunification.... People ‘living’ in the Ruhr are the real nucleus of the German ‘working class’, doing the most dirty jobs in companies such as Krupp, Hoesch or Degussa or underground in the many coal mines of the area… With ‘Arbeit, Sport & Spiel’ (Work, Sports and Games) PRAGER HANDGRIFF deliver a ‘tribute’ to this tough region in Germany – a unique sort of ‘Ruhrpott’-Folk in the usual, well known EBM-style of this respected German act. ‘Arbeit, Sport & Spiel’ is PRAGER HANDGRIFF’s first all new album since 2002’s ‘1000 Feuer’ and follows 21 years after their first tape release of 1990!

Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH

TYSKE LUDDER is an institution! There are only a few Electro bands from the 90s that were able to stage their comeback with such overwhelming success. But TYSKE LUDDER did it back in 2006! The band is very active among their fans - loads of live performances (including the famous "Zuckergrufties" at Blackfield Festival 2010), 70.000 MySpace followers and rank 4th at google-search! After they had re-released all of their cult albums from the 90s, TYSKE LUDDER managed to raise the bar with their great releases "Sojus", "SCIENTific technOLOGY" and "Anonymus". And again - the new album "Diaspora" continues the story of success of "Anonymus". Modern Electro sounds combined with OldSchool elements and pumping beats underline TYSKE LUDDERS distinctive vocals, which are accompanied by intelligent soundscapes. Thematically, the album deals with the central topic "Diaspora" which means "to be scattered". And it is not just about the situation of Jewish people in history - TYSKE LUDDER deal with the situation of ethnic minorities in our society in general. Tracks like "Der androgyne Held", "Eugenix", "Wallfahrt" or "Abgesang" will definitely become the new TYSKE LUDDER hymns. As special bonus, the exclusive first edition, strictly limited to 888 copies, will contain a powerful cover version of Tilt's classic "Merciless"!

Album:MACHINE CORPS
Label:BLACK RAIN GMBH

Techno-like vocals meet pumping bass lines and atmospheric soundscapes. Masterminds Kevin Steward and Ines Lehmann created a new electronic masterpiece – tracks like “Electro ueber alles” and “Cannibal Clan” will surely become the new Electro-hymns in your local club.
