COMA is currently looking for individuals interested in working in the music journalism field. We are looking to fill the following positions. These are all non paying positions and we realize that not everyone is willing to work for free but most positions do have their perks (free concerts or CDs, meeting bands without having to wait with the rest of the crowd). Since these are volunteer positions, we don’t expect a big commitment, if you just want to cover one specific show or review one specific CD, let me know ad we’ll work it out.

Anyway, if you are interested in any of these positions shoot us an email @ contact@coma-online.com

"As many of you are aware, the media has been reporting the problems concert-goers are encountering buying tickets for Bruce Springsteen and other superstar acts, however I thought fans of our projects should know that until these large companies get their act together, the place to buy tickets will be through the official websites of the tours.

Right now we have the Rockstar Energy Drink Taste of Chaos Tour starting February 14th at the Hollywood Palladium and there are tickets available for all shows at this time at www.tasteofchaos.com. Click on the link by your city and you will be able to purchase tickets.

In the world of concert ticketing there have never been more players and people trying to provide this service, and hopefully one day they will get it right.”

Fronted by the volatile and fiercely intelligent Sascha Konietzko, KMFDM has led the industrial evolution over the last two and a half decades with their self-coined "Ultra Heavy Beat" that continues to expand and evolve, ushering new beats and structures that push their music up into new plateaus. "I like to experiment," says Sascha about the new album. "Going in one direction and then trying something different is part of the way. If I don't change things constantly,  become irritated."

Appropriately abrasive and incredibly rhythm-heavy, BLITZ sees the Hamburg, Germany-based band redirecting the metallic guitars of previous releases and allowing the fiery dance rhythms to breathe and pulsate. From the opening beat of "(Symbol)" with Sascha's trademark growl coming into the forefront with chants of "up Uranus", the album kicks off an unrelenting barrage of heavily orchestrated chaos. "Bait & Switch" ups the ante with a blast of fierce, driving industrial led by the the dominating vocals of Lucia Cifarelli. Their excellent retelling of Human League's "Being Boiled" brings a level of sinister ambience with pounding beats and flourishing horns. "I am standing behind every song, 105%," Sascha explains, "though I am particularly pleased with the fact that native Russian speakers can understand what I am saying on track #3, 'Davai'."
