-Mollouw - SOLD OUT

Mollouw's "00:56 Kautokeino Desperation" EP is sold out. We are all totally excited as a very big company will reprint the cd in a very huge ammount of copies. At this time we will offer you a review written by emoisdead.com .... Enjoy! Stay tuned ... More news are coming soon!

MOLLOUW 00:56 / kautokeino desperation

This is art. Seriously. It's basically instrumental music with a profound background! Interested? This is what the band info says: Mollouw is based on two meanings: The abandon (00:56am) and solitude that follows (Kautokeino deseration). Therefore the best thing to do is making everything tangible by mixing existence with music and nature. Finding yourself alone on a beach or in the middle of a field in the country side and just being t in silence observing how beautiful and comfortable nature can be but at the same time it can induce a sense of solitude and desolation in the human spirit in which there's no other escape but desperation. Okey dokey? Besides all this stuff, Mollouw sounds nice and a bit like Red Sparrows, who also like to use their voices as instruments. Unfortunately the record is a bit short. 16 minutes. Bummer.

 

 

-Alkemist bands out in Germany

-Schism

"Schism" is the project of Cristiano Zappalà, Andrea Guastavino, Paolo Berri and Massimo Perasso and it has developed in Genoa (Italy) on the ashes of past experiences. The idea has permitted to create various recordings with the passing of the time. At last the "Schism" have realized "Dissolution or Minds", produced with the cooperation of Frank Andiver. Lyrics and creative processes are influenced by the background of each member. The "Schism" follow artists like Tool and Meshuggah and try to alternate pure alternative moments to visionary metal landscapes every day. The writings of "Schism" band express dailies situations and behaviours, far from every kind of political message. "Dissolution or Minds" introduces part of the work done up to now by the "Schism". These tracks are born from two different ways of thinking: one rational and one dissolute.

-Happy Birthday Alkemist!!

As the first year draws to a close, we would like to take an opportunity to look back on the year that has passed, and also look to the future to see what's in store for next year. This first year has been an extremely busy one for all inside the Alkemist team. We've seen the release of more than 40 albums on the way and a huge amount of progress towards the quality of our work. Furthermore, Alkemist Fanatix Europe has been established to oversee the future projects and all sub-projects, including the Promotion, Management, Booking and distribution. Our Team was here to oversee day to day the running of the whole project, and this has seen Alkemist Fanatix Europe progress on many fronts, not just development.

We'd like to think that all these sacrifices have been for the better, and that Alkemist Fanatix Europe has moved forward. Some of the more fundamental ideas stand in great stead for rapid future development and evolution. A number of important projects will be completed at some point in the New Year, and we'd like to focus on some specific projects: open new offices in Padova, London and Berlin, improve our services and comunication equipments with new machines and systems, and have some more great people in our team.

We would like to thank all our Partners, Artists, Bands, Labels, Media, Publishers, Producers, Fans, Clubs, Friends, Photographers, Videomakers, Lawyers, Retail, Booking, Accounts, Webmasters for the neverending support and help. You made this all real and you will always be the most important thing for us. We worked with you guys to reach the top.

Our great friends at Syncprodz have a present for you: click the link and enjoy our trailer. (be sure to switch you speakers on!)

 

Concept and Production by MOOOZ and SYNCPRODZ for Alkemist Fanatix Europe, Music by Young Silencers

Finally, we'd all like to thank you for your continued support, and we hope you are looking as forward to the New Year as everyone in the Alkemist team.

Sincerely, Carlo(management), Naty(press relations), Filippo(runner), Stefano(booking Dept), Eros(press relations), Pilu(Techonology & Comunication Equipments), Dan(Webmaster & web contents), Silvia(layout & graphix), Tabloid Group (publishing), Clelia S.(admin), Petra P.(translations), Fabio(booking), Luca(runner - UK), Stefan(runner - Germany).

The Square: the Overock concept vision of music
20/12/05
One side of The Square is rooted in heavy American sounds, with big guitar walls and amazing filtered voices which get deep into your mind like a virus. Another side stands for romantic English melodies with a distinctive rock imprint. The third side is connected to idea of the the trip, the acid, hypnotic sounds still carrying the same morbid magic since 1967. The last side is dedicated to all that has the flavour of electronics, inhalated in all possible ways you can think of. Overock music is a combination of experimental sounds and melodies blended with features of pop song structure and great dynamics. The song is the ultimate protagonist, not the performers. Useless solos and virtuosities are forbidden. What we really care about is to communicate with you, not within ourselves. From 1999 to today we have performed more than eighty times, not so bad for a young underground band. We have played as support band for some italian outstanding bands like Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti, Sushi, Medusa, Afterhours and international stars like Planet Funk and Underworld, as well. A small but strong reality rooted in a post-heavy industrial city. A reality called Overock. And we're still working on to become greater and greater day by day. At last the latest overock EP “Acid sounds in a groove box” is out; 4 songs recorded in 3 different studios to get the right sound we wanted. Paolo Ciro & Davide Signorio (Moog, Neroluce, Andata & Ritorno O.S.T.) took care of the artistic production, Roy Bennett (voice & guitar of the famous English band Too Rude) checked the lyrics and the pronunciation. 4 songs that explain the overock sonic vision very well. Feel the sound, enjoy the underground! http://www.overock.net

The self title “Ep” went really well on magazine, webzine and sector radio and the intensive live activity permitted the band to sold out one thousand records and other merchandising, t-shirt, pin and more.. (view the sale doc) without any official distribution. The band at the moment is working on the new songs and prepare for the preproduction of the next record and looking forward to find the right producer and label for the new attitude they grow up.

Deflore @ Playlouder.com
19/11/05
Attempting to second-guess foreign languages based on what words sound like in English can be misleading. With the 'O' written like a cog on the rough, scratched metallic album sleeve, and their debut's title 'human indu[B]strial' (that reversed lettering so beloved of Warhammering designers on Myspace), I had interpreted "Deflore" to imply some kind of beastly stinking metal behemoths who make music that pops maidenheads like the anxious might bubble wrap. Yet you'd be foolish to allow this to lead you to expect an album of mogadon industrial banality. For the Italian noise-geek duo of Deflore have, in 'human indu[B]strial', created a broad-reaching, atmospheric, expansive and yet accessible instrumental noise album. The dark pendulum of 'human indu[B]strial' swings from the subsonic crushing basslines of the titans of doom to the studied geometrical noise of mathrock, and slices back through the grating paranoia of industrial noise. And what's more, that can often occur within the same piece. For example, album centrepiece 'Lexodub' has quiet periods of echoing introspection around a muted, melodic guitar line, and uses the beats for the steam-expulsion, scratching and gaspy unpleasantness, like a Euro-goth Mogwai over for a foreign exchange trip. It's a quieter counterpart to earlier track 'Experiment C-Low', which sounds like a cranky U-boat lurking beneath oily seas: half a tense, electronic wait, half lurching chords given a thorough rinsing through violent action. But it gets ever more mixed. 'Orto D-Ossa' begins with subterranean chants, meanders through some jarring, ponderous drum patterns that become ever tauter as a more ethereal, choral vocal line appears above. The very next moment is the four-and-a-half minute 'S-Zwein', which combines goth-spring-booted dance-lurches with moments of metallic minimalism, and finally, mutedly triumphant droning melody. It's like 65daysofstatic shaken hard with Neubauten, and then some. Fortissimo!, as I'd like to imagine the Italians might say. Luke Turner reviewed on 17 Nov 2005

Their music speaks its own language through a collide between classic and modern pop. Ola Frick of Moonbabies says: "Some months ago Moonbabies started to look outside USA/Scandinavia for licensing or a exclusive label deal with a devo ted label. Around this time we got in touch with Carlo who presented his management/promotion company Alkemist Fanatix, and since we liked his approach and understanding on the business we now officially will work together."

-Cries

Cries was born one first time in May 2001, when Elsket (voice and guitar) and Dunkelheit (drums) began to play together. But after just one live show Dunkelheit decided to stop playing and Elsket remained alone, bearing on his own songs and seeking new players. Only in December 2002 he finds Roberto, a bassist, whom he starts to rehearsal with, and afterwards he tries some drummers, without finding a proper one. Thus Elsket continues to develop his own music with the support of Roberto, and it’s only in May 2004 that the true Cries band takes form, after finding again Dunkelheit, this time willing to play and to do. In the same period comes the addition of Fabrizio, keyboarder, and this perfect formation had its first live show on the 1 of October, 2004. For the year 2005 were programmed at least 40 live shows, but, unfortunately, on the end of February Fabrizio had to stop playing, and the same destiny has come to Roberto, in April. Failed all the efforts of quick replacing, Cries thus decided to concentrate on two recordings to be done on the ending of the year: one, self-produced, acoustic of 5 tracks, only voice, guitar and violin (played by Stefano, acousticly supporting Cries since February), which probably shall be recorded in October, and containing the video of "where are you ? (acoustic)". The title of this little opus shall be "qvidqve amavisti cras amabis" (which stands for "what/who you loved, tomorrow you will love"); and then our first EP, if someone produce us, to be recorded in November/December, entitled "the beauty of the death", made of 6 tracks. In the meanwhile Cries has found some new bassists and keyboarders, whom with we hope to be back soon on the stage. And now in August, we have started to work with Alkemist Fanatix, a management and promotion agency. www.cries.it

 

-IN COLD BLOOD

It all began in February 2003 when five guys got together in Rome (Yes, that’s Rome, Italy.) with the will of starting a special project. All of them shared rich musical backgrounds stemming from their childhoods, as well as bringing their own personal experiences from previous bands with them into this new project. They started to play hard under the name of Watt69, performing some shows in Rome. In the early 2004 the decision of being involved in an Italian Bands Competition, Emergenza rock. After doing good at the first round, the organizzator suggested them to look for a new singer. After few weeks Zella, the guitarist, and Simone, the fxer, runned into Enrico, who was singing in some hc bands. Watt69 did great in Emergenza Rock, arriving second in the Italian Finals. During the last round a female voice was for the first time on stage: Chiara, who first only gave some help to the guys in the song Prophet of Romance, had become an official member of the band. After these

good results the band decided to record a Promo Cd: it was brought to life during December and January 2005, by the magic hands of Giuseppe Orlando at the Outersounds studio. The cd contains two tracks, Prophet of Romance and L.I.E. and it was reviewed by a lot of magazine (demo of the month on RockHard #35 and high score on MetalHammer#6/2005). During the recording session Fulvio, bass, said "why don’t we change the name in In Cold Blood?!": everyone dealed much better with this new name and the band approved it in few days .After being appreciated for their brand new songs in every live they took the decision, suggested also by their management agency, of going back in a studio. The guys tried to record a powerfull garage session with a really low budget and the result was great: the old promo and the new songs are now available in a unique cd, "Echoes of decadence", which is providing to the band a lot of new friends from the whole Italian hc and metal scene. http://www.in coldblood1.com // http://www.myspace.com/incoldblood1

 

-The Last Winter

We are proud to introduce you another amazing and incredible band: THE LAST WINTER from Rome. The Last Winter was born in 1996 by Sisco and Enrico as a black death project; During the years a lot of things changed, new ideas, new songs new friends to play with, so T.L.W. started to develop their changeable personality. Their first work "Ira"(2001)was recorded after the entering of Ivan as drum player. After some times they fortunately lost the 2°guitar and took sK with which they evolved their sound making their music as it has to be: violent and free. Their second work "Dust"(2002) has been an anticipation of "Project: Delay"(2004-2005)but during the work they lost Sisco who left the band to Climb Mountains (it is true). Actually T.L.W. are working on new songs, recording the clip for C.U.90210. Please check the band's profile @Myspace and listen. http://www.myspace.com/thelastwinter

In a moment of big activity like this one, in which is important to make the right decision, we are sure by working with Alkemist Fanatix we are taking our work and our music to a higher level." At the same time, Shirley Temple? has to announce that Deejay PurpleHate (or Thuglife as he was known) is not a member of the line-up anymore. The decision of parting ways – took some weeks ago – has come after a series of controversies and divergences on a personal basis. For the last gig – oct 21st at Traffic, Rome – Shirley Temple? was already a quartet made of vy, tylR, joo and :fa:. At the moment it’s n ot sure if and how the band is going to replace its former deejay. At the moment – and also in order to include some new material in the next work – recording sessions have been delayed. As far as now there is not a new date, but anyway the band is oriented to enter the studio in the first half of December. Till then, Shirley Temple? is still working on these new ideas, and going on with the pre-production.

-Negotiations are over! MOLLOUW unleash the DEBUT EP

The long period of silent negotiations is over! We are proud to announce another band signed: Mollouw. MOLLOUW's "00:56/Kautokeino Desperation" debut EP is out now On Chumsley Records/Cold Current Productions/Seastars Records/Interpunk. After 4 months of assistance to the band and to the labels we've assured another great artist to the international market. Check them out, Mollouw are great. With some labels from America already interested in Mollouw we'll continue the great work...We just started. "...After only a few weeks of incubation the mollouw project took a definite form in May 2005 and it combines melodic emotion, repressed anger with a sense of absolute solitude which translates into music. The main spark comes from the sounds of the natural ambient that surrounds us (clouds, sunsets, twilight, seas, stars...) simple but very important things for the project. Searching for signs and points of inspiration in human happenings without considering the depth in which nat ure evolves is impossible. Mollouw is based on two meanings: The abandon (00:56am) and solitude that follows ( Kautokeino desperation),Therefore the best thing to do is making everything tangible by mixing existence with music and nature. Finding yourself alone on a beach or in the middle of a field in the country side and just being sat in silence observing how beautiful and comfortable can nature be but at the same time it can induce a sense of solitude and desolation in the human spirit in which there's no other escape but desperation.(the suicide division). The choice of the cantato "gibberish" is linked with one simple reason: Certain "extreme" situations are totally impossible to describe with words therefore vague complaints full of melancholy are introduced, which are very similar to echoes coming from a past that is now being cancelled and remote. (.... 00:56 which once was but now doesn’t exist anymore being cancelled by progress …cancelled by time) Guitars keyboard s delays combined with sweet minimal melodies are simply trying to give voice to all of this. The mollouw project hasn’t got anything to give or to reveal but it only confirms how fragile the human spirit can be, but at the same time devastating even in his tiny form. A cloud at sunset, a rain shower in the distance, the immensity of the sea, the silence of the stars, twilight mysteries is all simple things that accompany us in every day life scarred by the inevitable passing by of time (11 October 1987) and seasons which one day will reduce us in invisible dust...." www.myspace.com/mollouw

Nobit "America Suicide" Out Soon!
08/06/05

Nobit came together in Pisa in the summer of 2000.The three piece (Massy (drums), Matteo (bass-chorus), Mirko (guitar-voice),offers a melodic hardcore style with strong political lyrics from which the band intention of using the music as a liberal form of expression comes strongly across.This is the current line up that features founding members( Mirko, Matteo and Antonio) of "Goodvision" which never recorded any material even though they played many live dates.One of their latest tracks "shut-up" is currently being played live by Nobit. They fight against who takes away the freedom of being and the right of liberal thinking together with who needs unity to be able to suvive in this ongoing fight against capitalism that is slowly killing us every day.After a period of sperimentation Nobit started playing live mainly in the Tuscany area.In december 2002 they locked them self in the studio to autoproduce their "Resistance" demo which marks an important step for the band in the following period the band acquired a new sound and a strong sense of their capabilities.The style of the band gradually changes giving light to their original emotional sound and they find the approval of the crowd as the demand for live dates keeps increasing.In 2005 Carlo(Stranded) joins the line up which gives a radical charge to the guitar parts.With this line up they keep moving forward towards a very define objective with a very clear name and intention “America Suicide” New 6 tracks EP out soon. http://www.nobit.it
