The first reviews for the new PSY'AVIAH album "Eclectric" that came in are excellent! Read some excerpts below... Brutal Resonance: 9/10 "...if you thought their debut where good, you sure soon will noticed they have raised the bar for their second album, and not just one time, we are talking rapid bar movement here people...", "...‘Eclectic’ is sexy, powerful and energetic. It got great electro tunes like “Keeping Hope Alive” and “Blackhole”. It got great feet moving tracks like “Paranoid” and “Anger Management” (that somehow reminds me of Prodigy), and not to forget the vocoder orgasm with “!AllAboutYou”...."

[DE] Uselinks: 4/5 "...Fette Beats mit "Killer SynthLine" garniert und eben bereits erwähnten Elementen ergeben einem klangvollen, tanzbaren Sound, den man nicht schon auf den letzten 20 zu rezensierenden Alben gehört hat...", "...Ein Klasse Elektroalbum, bei dem so schnell keine Langeweile aufkommt..."

First some bad news, due to the fact that artwork and remixes came in much later than promised/expected, the Alfa Matrix label has been forced to push back the release date for Nitzer Ebb's newest album "Industrial complex" till February 12. "Industrial Complex" is Nitzer Ebb's 6th studio album to date, once again produced by Flood (Editors, Depeche Mode, ...) and featuring guest vocals by Depeche Mode's songwriter Martin L. Gore on the song "Once You Say".
And now the good news, this special "Belgian" edition released by Alfa Matrix will feature no less than 5 exclusive remixes of the Martin L. Gore backed song "Once You Say". These remixes are not available on any other version of "Industrial Complex". Remixes have been provided by Leaether Strip, Komor Kommando, Pouppee Fabrikk, Implant and Essence Of Mind. You can order this version together with a "EBM - My way of life" T-shirt at the Alfa Matrix webstore.
SCHWARZBLUT finished their forthcoming release 'Das Mausoleum'. This 10-track album holds a passionate journey full of grandeur and darkness. Expect music with a deep and diverse range. From the pillars of pounding EBM/industrial to lush orchestral arrangements. 'Das Mausoleum' is scheduled to be released in the first half of 2010 and will also be released as a limited edition 2CD box set, featuring a bonus disk with exclusive dancefloor remixes and orchestral versions. SCHWARZBLUT is a highly recommended band to all fans of artists such as GOETHES ERBEN, DAS ICH, BLUTENGEL and PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE.
After Unter Null's studio burned to the ground earlier this year, Alfa Matrix has another band that has had to share the same bad experience. On December 1st the studio of the Greek electro act Virgins O.R Pigeons housed at band member Pierrot's house got destroyed by a fire. The newly built house the studio which was actually the whole 1st floor of the house was completely destroyed.
Pierrot: "When I drove to our house, got out of my car and saw what had happened, my heart stopped and my body froze. There were 2 fire trucks parked just outside the house with 2 firemen outside and another 2 inside the house still trying to put out the fire. Flames were still burning 7 hours after the fire department had the fire truck dispatched. I just kept watching my house being burnt to the ground, having no roof, no inner floors, windows still bursting from heat and on top of the house a huge black cloud of smoke. It is one of the things you see in the news and say "I hope this never happens to me" and you actually think it won't... But it did! The feeling of having no control over it, while watching your hard work and dreams slipping away from you, is just a bit TOO MUCH!"
The fire has delayed the new Virgins O.R Pigeons album "Gotta Get Mad" as much of the recorded material - the album was practically finished - was destroyed as well.
