After releasing the E.P. Scraping the Flesh and the highly acclaimed To Be Fed Upon debut album, Die Sektor is preparing to unleash the new full length album Applied Structure in a Void!

For fans of enigmatic American electro-industrial outfit Die Sektor, it has been a long 4 year wait since the release of their impressive debut ""To Be Fed Upon" (2006). "Applied Structure In A Void" is the eagerly-anticipated follow-up: and the first material to feature the return of original member Daniel Gant and new member Edwin Alter, joining forces with core members Scott Denman and Alan Smith. Mastered by world-renowned sound engineer Brian "Big Bass" Gardner (Dr. Dre, KMFDM, Nine Inch Nails), "Applied Structure In A Void" is a diverse, powerful and accomplished piece that reflects the years of work spent crafting it. Retaining the epic song-structures familiar from "To Be Fed Upon", "Applied Structure In A Void" marks a new maturity in the development of Die Sektor's sound - placing less emphasis on distorted vocals and EBM beats in favour of more thoughtful (even experimental) arrangements that incorporate elements from a wide spectrum of musical genres. With "Applied Structure In A Void", as ever, Die Sektor continue to adhere to their declared aim of producing "powerful, emotional and innovative electronic music". NoiTekk and COP Int'l are pleased to present this outstanding new benchmark in dark electronica.

Featured on MTV America throughout the Christmas and New Year with their track "Little Drummer Boy" as the music for commercials for the TV series "Skins", COP International is now proud to present the brand new feature-length EP from Canadian harsh-EBM/dark electronica duo DYM!

DYM have played live in their native Canada with leading acts such as Combichrist, Amduscia, and Psyche - including 2009's EBM Fest with Grendel and Decoded Feedback and Kinetik Festival with Grendel, Reaper, Soman and Aesthetic Perfection.

After a series of excellent remixes DYM have finally completed the follow-up to 2008's "The Invilid" (NoiTekk/Cop International).

Again merging the sequenced sounds of harsh-EBM with elements of breakcore and glitching, DYM draw influences from "old-school" industrial acts like fellow-Canadians Skinny Puppy and the rhythm and noise of Venetian Snares to create their own unique brand of dark and quirky electronica. "The Swarm" is an extended EP/mini-album of 6 brand new tracks plus a colossal bonus section of no less than 10 remixes ? one of each track from "The Invilid", presented in the exact same track order as the original.

Mastered by Kolja Trelle (Soman), "The Swarm" features

6 brand new songs
10 remixes: DYM's entire debut album "The Invilid" remixed by top electro-industrial scene names like Amduscia (Out Of Line), C-Lekktor (DWA/Cop International), Preemptive Strike 0.1 (Infacted/Metropolis), Encephalon (Dependent), Fractured (Dependent) and COP/NoiTekk labelmates Die Sektor

Fast, furious and catchy as fuck - C-lekktor instantly are hammering away with the title track "Suicidal Tendencias". The band gives no quarter while progressing through the rest of the EP. Hard electro, technoid 303 riffs and distorted vocals are pitching "Tendencias Suicidas" into a feeding frenzy that make amazonian piranhas green with envy.

Their first album "The Silence Progression" was an impressive calling card for C-Lekktor. Fans of harsh electro embraced the trio from mexico with passion and declared them the rightful heirs to electro Gods Hocico But C-lekktor are not resting on their laurels - they are cementing the great impression with their new 10 track EP "Tendencias Suicidas".

Jan [X-Fusion] decided to give this amazingly talented band a hand and produced and mixed the EP. His deep knowledge of sound and proper production gives Tendencias Suicidas" the bleeding edge that ill cut you like a knife

Decoded Feedback, FGFC820 and Alien Vampires contributed outstanding remixes

Beware - C-Lekktor are kicking ass!

The project C-Drone-Defect, which has been exisiting for more than 10 years, has become the insiders' tip of the German Electro-scene. Both of the previous CDs, "Neural Dysorder Syndrome" (SPV) and "Nemesis" (NoiTekk) were really successful - but compared to the new album "Dystopia" they appear to be more like rough diamonds. "Dystopia" manages it to raise the bar in terms of songwriting and sound composing that hardly any other project can compare to it. The free Net-EP "Letters from Dystopia" was the famous rumours for glory - the longplayer "Dystopia" met all of the high expectations. Driving rhythms, catchy keyboard soundscapes and a perfectly arranged voice mixed up with some great new ideas and creativity created one of the most incredible Electro-albums of 2010. Threatening - dark - gloomy - epic!

2. Morituri te Salutant

Nachtmahr - Madchen In Uniform
Format: CD

Don't you want them too, these girls in uniform? With their well-behaved partings, their dutifully buttoned shirts and their shiny leather boots? Chins erect and chests held high, they stand in rank and file, awaiting further instructions from Nachtmahr high command...

With his brand new EP "Madchen in Uniform" General Thomas Rainer dedicates a long overdue monument to the uniformed ladies of this world. And while the musical side of this release breaks rank somewhat with Nachtmahr's back catalogue, the visual and conceptual side retain their dominant militaristic approach.

After global thrusts on the concert front and the destroying storm of decadence and obsession aptly named "Alle Lust Will Ewigkeit" which laid the world to waste and successfully defended the peak of the DAC (German Alternative Charts) for several weeks in a row, Supreme Commander Rainer puts a sonic middle finger up to all those accusing the Austrian Imperial Industrial commando of monotony. Not only is "Madchen in Uniform" far from the usual album extraction, moreover, the three all-new tracks offer a musical experience that is certainly not what one would expect from this project.

A passionate salute to military clothing, the title track surprises the listener an old-fashioned, straight-up EBM attack in the vein of DAF or Spetsnaz, equipped with intense vocals and blazing lyrics that once more speak out loud something we all secretly think: girls in uniforms are devilishly sexy! And this is only the beginning: enigmatic and influenced by Latin American sounds, Nachtmahr evoke the malicious fable creature El Chupacabra in the stomping industrial track of the same name. But the EP's second big trump card is doubtlessly a very special cover version that will cause chins everywhere to drop: with imperialistic vigour and fierce vocals the high society farce "Titanic" by the infamous Austrian Superstar Falco is being claimed for the empire, its decadent core fitting perfectly in the Nachtmahr universe.

Eight adaptations, among them a congenial Faderhead interpretation of the marching title track and remixes by Feindflug, Modulate and others, "Tanzdiktator" and "Morder", complete the musical side of this 13-track EP whose visual side explores new areas of military seduction. Unmistakably committed to the obsessive, sexualized style of the last release, the artwork and extra booklet of "Madchen in Uniform" are a provocative homage to the much disputed and scandalizing Italian movie "The Night Porter".

But now, dear girls, put on your uniforms: General Rainer asks for the next dance.

Life Cried - Banished Psalms
Format: CD

Haunting, Beautiful and Intense, are several words that can describe Life Cried's sophomore album 'Banished Psalms', the follow up to the band's critically acclaimed 2006 release 'Drawn & Quartered'. Band leader Chris Reject continues to push the boundaries of personal expression with his unique mix of introspective lyrics fused with dark electro and classical gothic influences. Founding the band in 1999, Reject worked on his debut for 5 years before choosing to release it, similarly he spent 3 years working on the songs that would become 'Banished Psalms'. With 'Banished Psalms' listeners get a rare glimpse into the mind of this eccentric front man, with tales of personal strife, love and addiction carefully interwove with an underlying theme of a loss of faith. Musically, we find Life Cried firing on all cylinders, from the pounding stomps of 'Bloodstained' and 'Forbidden' to the fragile atmospheres in 'More To Tarnish' and 'Alone' Reject has pushed the sonic envelope of Life Cried into something much more than what we have come to know as 'Dark EBM'. Life Cried has toured relentlessly since the release of 'Drawn & Quartered' including concerts supporting Taktical Sekt, The Birthday Massacre, And One, and many more, establishing them as one of the rare powerful live acts within the electronic scene. We find Life Cried ready to take the scene by storm and raise the bar for all the bands left in their wake, this sentiment is echoed by Reject's closing words in the song 'Preacher' - In the end there is no place to hide.

Track Listing:
01. Another sacrifice
02. Bloodstained
03. Dressed in filth
04. Bound in hate
05. Alone
06. Preacher
07. More to tarnish

MEN001 Darkmen - Guilty EP

Darkmen - Guilty EP
Format: CDEP

Machineries Of Joy is enriched by the newborn Darkmen. Although around for quite some time in the underground demo scene, Darkmen can easily be compared to a good vintage wine that became better with time. With impressive timing, they are here to take their stand and start the battle to earn that well-deserved place amongst the big players in the Electronic Body Music (EBM) scene.

Darkmen officially start their battle with this EP called "Guilty EP" (MEN001), where two tracks from their upcoming album "Guilty By Association" (MEN002) named "Stop the machine" and "No future" get the full remix treaty. Packed with an extreme high quality content, this strong set of remixes will force you to move while aching for more brutal electronics.

Next to both "Transmission editions" of the main tracks (produced and edited by their label mates Ionic Vision), Darkmen themselves deliver a different, more subtle, and danceable approach of "No Future" in the form of their "No more pain mix". Ad:key enhances solid angst driven electronics with his "Detune mix" of "Stop the machine" while another new coming band A.D.A.C. 8286 embraces another violent stomping exploration, showing that there is a lot more quality wandering around in the current scene.

But the icing on the cake here is delivered by two current major EBM dinosaurs Orange Sector and Ionic Vision. None less than Orange Sector deliver two extreme bashing versions of "No future" ("Angst vor der Zukunft" and "Was ist die Wirklichkeit"), both different in tempo but so fierce, so true old-school. Last in taking the remix responsibility is Ionic Vision, who unleash their machines leading into another assault for the EBM dance floor ("Ionic machines take over").

All in all, this EP shows what talent is coming up strong, Belgian Darkmen is kicking hard, feel it, learn it, choose it! This "Guilty EP" (MEN001) serves as a warm up masterpiece for an even bigger masterpiece, their upcoming album "Guilty By Assocation" (MEN002).
