Gradual Hate

Spain's Gradual Hate was originally created as a solo outlet for Miguel LS, who had already explored experimental and neo-classical music in such projects as The Lietech Project and Woman's Broken Hands, to take on the dark electronic scene. Inspired less by the synthpop crossover acts of the current scene than by old-school European artists like Leæther Strip and The Invincible Spirit, the project really started to take off when Miguel was joined by keyboardist and multimedia artist Avencio DM, who helped to focus Gradual Hate's politically-charged themes with gritty industrial imagery and a manifesto of purpose. Signing to Hypervoxx Recordings, the group released their debut album in late 2007; entitled Asphyxiated World, it combines crunchy guitar riffs with hard but catchy electronics and raspy vocals to deliver what LS and DM describe as a warning call to a sedated citizenry.

Kazeria

KAZERIA began its activities on 2008 led by only member [S]. The word KAZERIA is a distorted way to write the term "hunting" in spanish, and used by the artist as a sign of counterculture. It means to face the reality of life: to hunt or be hunted. Simple as radical. The souls of the hunters moved thru history with rites and celebrations of hunting, life and death. That is the reason why KAZERIA proposes an intense and complex aesthetic expression thru different musical styles about arcane cultures, mysticism, epic visions, esoterism and alternative beliefs. Everything is linked to the meaning of eternity, glory, decadence and hidden symbols of past ages. The hunt has begun.

Novi_sad

Novi_sad is the mutated body that stands on the tips of it’s toes to look over a wall of white noise. It reaches the edge, almost getting a glimpse of what is on the other side. It almost sees.

And when it almost sees, then it hears.

And when it hears, it hears the sudden attack of static. And as it hears it looks: the sky is static and falls like a sonic ceiling collapsing on its sole inhabitant: Novi_sad.

Novi_sad is the sound of the shadow of the body that faces the wall of sound.

The mutated body steps back from the wall. It is not a wall, it is a mirror

Francisco López

Francisco López is internationally recognized as one of the major figures of the sound art and experimental music scene. Over the past 30 years he has developed an astonishing sonic universe, absolutely personal and iconoclastic, based on a profound listening of the world. Destroying boundaries between industrial sounds and wilderness sound environments, shifting with passion from the limits of perception to the most dreadful abyss of sonic power, proposing a blind, profound and transcendental listening, freed from the imperatives of knowledge and open to sensory and spiritual expansion.

He has realized hundreds of concerts, projects with field recordings, workshops and sound installations in 60 countries of the five continents. His extensive catalog of sound pieces (with live and studio collaborations with over 100 international artists) has been released by more than 200 record labels worldwide, and he has been awarded three times with honorary mentions at the competition of Ars Electronica Festival.

Kraschau

Kraschau was built upon the ruins of Adam Berces' prevous martial-neofolk project, Durch Heer und Kraft. The aim of this new project is to create high quality, live sounding neoclassical/symphonic music with the strictness of martial rhythms and with the power of industrial sounds. Adam was trained as a classical musician on trumpet and trombone, that's why brass instruments has a big role in Kraschau's music. It also incorporates various speeches, which are not too common in the martial-neofolk genres collected from documentary films and historical archives.

Moloch 11811

Moloch 11811 was born after the ruins of the castles and the palaces. It grew among factories and black steam searching true sounds. Almost all in Moloch 11811 is experimentation with the senses through the musical sounds of machines and fear. You must clean your mind and let the sounds guide you to find the meaning of it. With some of the songs you will feel the skies falling over you, with others you will feel true fear and panic and with others you will feel the quiet and rythmic sound of the industry. At the end... you will feel. LET THE STEAM FLOW!!!!!

Silence in First Degree

Alejandro G, Fernando Suárez, Manuel Platino, Silence in First Degree is a group born in late 2006 with the objective of approaching music from a experimental point of view, without focusing too much on music styles, although drawing from those who have broken new ground during late twentieth century (mainly electronics, noise, ambient,industrial and drone). We are constantly inspired by bands like Throbbing Gristle, Whitehouse, Einstürzende Neubauten, Khanate, Earth and Boris among others, and approach our projects from an unconventional point view, endorsing the use of musical instruments in unconventional ways. From tape manipulation to home-made electronics, including the use of both electronic and acoustic feedback and software programming in the pursuit of image processing for subsequent transformation into sound (and vice versa).
