WTII049 MONSTRUM SEPSIS ARTIFACTS OUT NOW!
Monstrum Sepsis’ latest release, Artifacts, is an eclectic mix of tribal drums, organic electronics and intoxicating synths. Unlike most bands within the genre, Monstrum Sepsis places a heavy emphasis on melody and structure. This signature Monstrum Sepsis sound is evident from the opening bars of “Smoke ‘em,” to the powerful undertones in “Glimpse” and then carries through to the harmonious “Wit’s End Persistence.” In addition to the sonic soundscapes, Artifacts spices things up with some politically charged samples that reflect the current world moods and trends. These political affairs are exposed in the thought provoking and intelligent tracks “Opus Dictum,” “Squelch” and “War of Ideas.” The new Monstrum Sepsis will not disappoint and will appeal to fans of IDM and power noise.
WTII051 THE THOUGHT CRIMINALS DIE YOUNG: STAY PRETTY OUT NOW!
Die Young: Stay Pretty, is the debut release from the South London Duo, The Thought Criminals. Their sound can only be described as an EBM laced Sci-fi / 80’s / Electro Punk montage. Programmer/Musician Kirlian Blue, supplies the backdrop for frontman Rocky Goode’s tongue & cheek vocals. Die Young: Stay Pretty, is a 10 track album which contains 3 bona fide singles: The catchy pop hit “(I’m Gonna Be a) Celebrity,” the old school EBM “Date Rape Lovers” and the explosive “My Baby’s a Suicide Bomber.” In addition to the album tracks, Die Young: Stay Pretty, includes seven bonus remixes that will be sure to pack dance floors across the globe.
