The lyrics of tracks such as “Sängerfahrt” (Ibsen), “Sehnsucht” (Eichendorff), or “Wie am ersten Tag” (Goethe) are infused with a deep, credible spirituality, further highlighted by the passion of the music and the record’s appropriate artwork. You may be surprised how pop-like, charming and catchy the music sounds. You may even think you’ve heard some of the songs before, you’ll draw comparisons to ORPLID or DERNIÈRE VOLONTÉ, but then you’ll realise that the music of LEGER DES HEILS is eminently German in nature. Yes, they’ve never been this touching, this stirring, this honest and this romantic before. They make you want to go out into the great outdoors, to forests and mountains, toward the sun and toward the gods. So let us summarize: LEGER DES HEILS are a wholly original Gesamtkunstwerk made up of heroic pop, classical poetry, and spiritual . They are totally unique in this approach for sure! Tracks: 01 Einklang 02 Wie am ersten Tag 03 Götterheimat 04 Sängerfahrt 05 Vergangen ist die Zeit 06 Sehnsucht 07 Feuerbrand 08 Liebessaat 09 Der Gipfel Heere

Two and a half years after “Sterbender Satyr”, ORPLID are back with their fourth studio album “Greifenherz”. In contrast to their previous outing, this album is filled with pathos, a belligerent and archaic piece of work. “Greifenherz” is informed with a surprisingly hostile and cold atmosphere - a partially menacing and martial sound ORPLID haven’t applied since some of the more violent outbursts of their early works. There are some constants in ORPLID’s labour, however. Sandra Fink, who contributed with her expressive voice to “Sterbender Satyr”, adds a mysterious and sinister depth to the tracks “Totenesche” and “Traum von Blashyrkh”. Like on every album by ORPLID, they have included the writings of other poets in their work, setting to music poems by Frank Wedekind (“Der Anarchist”) and Rolf Schilling (“Luzifer”, “Gesang an den Horusfalken”). Once more, Frank Machau’s music is in perfect sync with Uwe Nolte’s lyrics - reflections of dreams about war, death, and decay. The song “Traum von Blashyrkh”, dedicated to Norwegian metallists Immortal, lends a very special accent to their new album as well. Tracks: 01 Falken-Eid I 02 Luzifer 03 Schwertgesang 04 ... 05 Totenesche 06 Myrmidonenklage 07 Des Sperbers Geheimnis 08 ... 09 Schlaf im Mohn 10 Traum von Blashyrkh 11 ... 12 Der Anarchist 13 Gesang an den Horusfalken 14 Falken-Eid II Still Available: Frühe Werke digiCD Sterbender Satyr CD Nächtliche Jünger CD Orplid CD

LISE N. – Faire cailler le lait… CD le cluricaun out 20-10-2008 (cl013/EAN--) ‘Faire cailler le lait avec du sang de caille’ is the first album by Lise N. on Gaë Bolg’s ‘Le Cluricaun’ – Label! Lise N. writes, composes and performs a strange, deep and lyric world, in which are evolving liquid feelings, trembling landscapes and lost flutes. Her musical, intense and oneiric universe is taking place in the post-industrial field and draws an oblique link between unutterable poetry and reinvented ancestral ritual. Litanies of rare beauty, hypnotic female voice, troubled and moist eroticism, banjo with Cajun accents, crepuscular Hungarian harp, small ethnic percussion, hybrid sharp rhythms and many other things are leading us into a very personal universe, full of unreleased surprises and dark and blue landscapes, incongruous folklore born of the improbable meeting of Die Tödliche Doris, Alexander Jodorowsky, O Yuki Conjugate and the French poet Pierre Reverdy. Featuring Antoine Boute, Denis Frajerman, Nadine Richard and Eric Roger (Gaë Bolg).

DAS SCHEIT – So far from God… CD twilight zone out 14-10-2008 (784-1358/EAN 4260141642828) With their 4th album “So far from god…so close to you“, German Goth/Industrial/ Rockband DAS SCHEIT follows it's path to mix Electro and Metal consistently their really own way. Besides, hardness, melody and dance ability keep the balance. With it's hybrid-sound the band acts point-exact suitable for dancefloors, on the other hand it creates epics for perfect headphone-experiences at home. Thematically the concept- album treats the isolation of an abandoned person which goes through the 5 phases of mourning and sorrow: Proclamation, denial, rage, discussion and completion, which divide the album lyrically into these 5 chapters. Nevertheless enough possibilities remain to the listener to interpret the end of the story – for sure by own made experiences in everybody's life. The 13 track album was recorded and produced by Markus Teske at Bazement Studios (Germany). As guest-musicians you can hear Jape Perätalo (TO/DIE/FOR) and Michelle Darkness (END OF GREEN) with their brilliant performances on the scheitanic version of 70's cover by Bruce Springsteen/Patti Smith's “Because the night”. Tracks: 01 Epilog 02 So far from God 03 Come undone 04 No one 05 Hollow 06 December sky 07 Snow white hell 08 Some- one will listen 09 By the way (I think of suicide) 10 Sehnsucht 11 Because the night 12 ... so close to you 13 Prolog PAGE 3 of 6

VLADIMIR HIRSCH – Symphony No.4 digiCD ars benevola out 14-10-2008 (ABM30/EAN--) Limited, numbered edition of 435 copies in Deluxe Package! Symphony No.4 "Descent From The Cross", op.67, 2001-2002, is a thematic opus, inspired originally by Dostoevski's interpretation of Hans Holbein's painting of same name. It is polemic with his questioning of the Christian faith in Christ's resurrection. Because of this the symphony may be understood as a sort of filling of the gap between Christ's death and laying into the grave, i.e. the process, which is not given much space in the bible. Hirsch is trying to create a deeply immersed, painful perception here, dominated by uncertainty and doubt, but through the belief in spiritual strength inclined to hope and strife for the fulfilling of the faith's thesis. In expressive terms the work combines expressive means ranging from symphonic to noise, in a totality which up to now represents the author's concept of the so-called integrated musical form the best.

JUNO REACTOR – Luciana CD metropolis out 9-10-2008 (MET560/EAN 782388056021) Luciana is the third installment in the series of Juno Reactor re-issues for Metropolis. Featuring one track that clock in at one hour, one minute and twenty seconds, Luciana showcases Juno Reactor’s ability to defy conformity. This very rare, long unavailable album flows effortlessly as a gratifying piece of audio art. Words alone cannot describe the sonic adventure that is Luciana. Track: 01 Luciana CD JUNO REACTOR – CD metropolis out 9-10-2008 (MET554/EAN 782388055420) Bible of Dreams, originally released in August 1997, showcases the transformation of Juno Reactor from a dance/trance style orientation to a focus on more aggressive thematic styles and a more diverse range of influences such as pop and world. The music still retains the high BPM’s and unique custom sounds as before, but moves away from the repetitious styling associated with conventional trance acts. The drums have a varied feel that previous albums lacked and have ethnic influenced rhythms that are definitely not dancer-friendly! The vocals have a haunting tribal vibe that is best showcased in “Conga Fury”, which features the South African percussion group Amampondo. The uniquely dark and raw “Komit” is featured reworked in : Reloaded. A step away from the conventional, Bible Of Dreams is exactly what Ben Watkins was striving for when he created Juno Reactor. Out of print for years, the album is now being re-released so fans can once again hear the raw, uncensored sound of Juno Reactor.

The first release, Transmissions, pioneered the Goa style and showed the world what should sound like. Not wanting to conform, Luciana was released checking in at just over an hour for just one track. Conventional? Absolutely not, and Reactor’s third studio album continued to show the diversity of styles and influence with which Watkins could create an album. Beyond the Infinite was released in April 1996 and is much darker and heavier than Transmissions, but keeps the dance club accessibility of before. The first single, “Guardian Angel,” has beautiful strings over an oscillating synth that draws the listener in and makes them crave more. “Ice Cube” and “Razorback” are dark, heavy on the bass, and entirely danceable. Previously out-of-print, Beyond the Infinite is being re-released to allow fans the chance to listen to an album that defined trance in the mid 90’s. Tracks: 01 Guardian Angel 02 Magnetic 03 Ice Cube 04 Feel the Universe 05 Samurai 06 Silver 07 Rotablade 08 Mars JUNO REACTOR – Transmissions CD metropolis out 9-10-2008 (MET561/EAN 782388056120) The final installment in the Juno Reactor album re-issues is actually the band’s first album, Transmissions. This is the album that put Ben Watkins on the map and showed the world what goatrance is all about. Featuring the classic tracks “High Energy Protons” and “Laughing Gas,” Transmissions is an important piece in the history of . Its timeless compositions show no signs of aging in the past 15 years since it was originally released in 1993. Its easy to see how Ben Watkins has become one of the most looked up to masters in any form of electronic music today. Tracks: 01 High Energy Protons 02 The Heavens 03 Lunatic 04 Contact 05 Acid Moon 06 10,000 Miles 07 Laughing Gas 08 Man 2 Ray 09 Landing

With thudding beats and the distortion cranked up to 11, the mad trio from Berlin plunges headlong into the bizarre mindscapes of psychopaths and the vertiginous abysses of the human soul. This time, Agonoize are adeptly pushing their unique mix of aggression, catchy hooks and tongue-in-cheek humor to the limits and have churned out the hardest hit tune of their entire career in form of “Schaufensterpuppenarsch.” This is brute Pop music for mass murderers in theslaughterhouse-disco… it goes without saying that this is the kind of CD that just has to be released on Halloween.

Container 90 are without a doubt the hardest EBM-band ever and they seem to have the essence of pure EBM infused into their blood. For the two Swedes, these three letters do not just stand for a musical genre but for a whole way of life.

They are masters of creating melodies that are catchy as hell without ever drifting into banality. Auto-Auto are combining the lust for experimenting and an earnest approach to an addictive mixture. The smashing, hellishly dynamic sound was created by John Fryer (, NIN.) Auto-Auto are rapidly expanding the sonic spectrum of the Out Of Line universe and are showing a brightly lit path into the future!
