The Horror Vacui – Return of the Empire

Horror Vacui released their second full album, “Return of the Empire” in october 2014. It is a very good continuing of their debute “In Darkness You Will Feel Alright”, that came out 2012.

This album feels a bit more punk-rock / hardcore attitude, but still got a gothic rock style. The most of the songs goes very fast forward, “till the Last Drop” is kind of slower. They have succeded in to bring up the production and sound quality, but still kept their punkrock attitude.

As I said, this is a great second album and I think everyone who liked their first album should check this out. If you found Horror Vacui by this release, then check out their first album.
This is an album that also getting better and better each time I listen on it.

I like the most of the songs, can´t really tell what is my favorite but I think “Light of Darkness” is kind of outstanding and different from the other tracks on this album. Great album, recommend!

New video at GothtuneTV: Sister Ex- Pretty Face

Biography

“Sugar and spice with very sharp knives” might be an appropriate way to describe the the songs of Claudia Neuman, singer for Sister Ex, a Baltimore- Washington D.C.- based indie punk outfit. Failed Buddhist monks, minimum-wage management wannabes
and abused six year olds are just some of the characters that inhabit the band’s self-titled debut release.

“These lives seem to come out of the air and land on my page” says Neuman, a Los Angeles native and an Anusara Yogi. “ But from my experience these stories ring true, we meet these people every day”.

Sister Ex played their first show in 2008, and became known for their raucous full-out high tempo sonic assault while still receiving raised eyebrows at some punk rock shows.

In 2010, after a few changes in personnel, veteran D.C. area bassist Jeff Wesolowski came on board and drummer Johnny Black joined to complete the current Sister Ex lineup. The
band recorded their self-titled debut release in the winter of 2011.

Sister Ex will be performing select dates on the East Coast throughout the year in support of the record.

Description

The band’s sound has been likened to a mashup of The Clash, Patti Smith and Crazy Horse, with a hint of Gang of Four and the Buffalo Springfield.

“We’re really old-school punk which to me means the ethos of being original, having our own sound, so we would always be the oddball group on some of those bills.” says
Anthony Piazza, the band’s guitarist “We try not to re-stomp that same old ground.”

Ascetic – Self Initiation

Ascetic is from Melbourne, Australia. But on their Facebook page they say their current location is Berlin. However, their album Self Initiation was released 4th of March 2013 by OSCL Records.

Ascetic describe themselves as Bloom gloom, or this is what they write inside their biography “Drawn from a collective obsession with fringe philosophy and post-new-age consciousness, Self Initiation evokes the moods & spaces of 4AD’s early roster (Swans, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins), with a nod to contemporaries The Soft Moon, Factory Floor & Portishead’s ‘Third’.”

For me this feels very much 80´s and I think their sound reminds very much of Joy Division, sometimes early The Cure. Self Initiation is a record that growing for each time I have listen to it, and I have now played it for more than 20 times in my car and at my home. Their songs got a high standard from the beginning til the end, the sound is like I said, very 80´s, gloomy and foggy sound-stage. They got kind of lay back attitude in which they succeeded with. I think this record somehow reminds of Night Sins, but Night Sins played a more traditional Gothic Rock and Ascetic is more into Post-Punk. Both of those two band went last year back to the roots to archive it for today’s generation. I give it a big recommendation, check them out.

Background:
The musical project The Nine Tears was born in June 2011 from the mind of Michele Perrella, who decided to give shape and substance to his solo compositions. Great friend and manager of Gene Crazed, the first one-man band Italian rockabilly, he offers to him to play the guitars in their songs, confident in his musical experience, result of years spent on Italian and international stages and of a remarkable musical culture. The agreement turns out to be good when their first song, Killing Time, realized as The Nine Tears, immediately gets many positive responses from fans of the genre, experts in the field and another one-man band, Carlo Baldini, creator of the darkwave project My Terminal And The Trip. Impressed by the creativity and flexibility demonstrated by his compositional and instrumental solo project, Michael invites him to play bass in the Nine Tears. Carlo accepts and the arrangement proves successful with him, his bass lines matches perfectly with the sound path taken by the duo, which from that point officially became a trio. The band starts immediately to work to make his first EP to be released within the month of October for The Holy Hour Records. The band, in early 2012, it instantly goes to work to record his first full length and "engages" the musician and remixer Gerardo Konte. With his support participate at the Gothic Room 2012 and start to realize the single ERMOY anticipating the release of Candid shade of pleasure.
