Loading ...I am always excited about new technology and I am still amazed about my small (slow but cheap) notebook and that I can write a web blog before going to sleep, listening to music from the server via Wifi. And I was really encouraged to continue writing this blog lately. I even received a new soundcloud track for review today! A lot of people and even bands told me that they read this blog with pleasure and curiosity. I did not expect to have this kind of great feedback shortly after the blog started. Thank you for the warm words!
Did you read the news today? There was a sand storm over Syndey / Australia which made everything look orange like on Mars and you could sometimes even hardly see anything (see this BBC link for more). As I read this news I realized that Torsten – mastermind of AGRYPNIE and ex-NOCTE OBDUCTA singer (both signed to SCR) – is living there at the moment. He told me that when he woke up he first thought that the windows were painted orange… Well, fortunately he also had some good news for me. He revealed the cover art for the next AGRYPNIE album entitled “16[485]” which is about to be released in December 2009. I think this is a really interesting piece of art and something very unique:
![AGRYPNIE - 16[485]](http://blog.s-c-r.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/agrypnie-16485.jpg)
AGRYPNIE - 16(485)
If you want to support me, the label or the band feel free to spread this artwork and tell everyone that the new AGRYPNIE album offers cold, atmospheric and sometimes raging post black metal and will hit the stores in December. Feel free to post it in forums, blogs, news – everywhere and refer to Supreme Chaos Records (http://www.s-c-r.de). Thank you for the support!
But there are more band news to add. We are about to sign (well actually everything is already fixed) a solo project from a German producer. I was visiting him in his studio and we talked really a lot about music like we always do – and I really enjoy this. But we also talked about the record which will be finished end of the year and will involve some pretty cool guest musicians. He also showed me the first artwork ideas and promo shoots which look amazing. You can expect a progressive mix of calm and extreme music with both, clean vocals and deep growls. Be sure this is not really that modern music but can be compared to some of the works of pioneers who opened death metal to new progressive influences. Very varied though. We have been talking about this project for almost two years now and I am more excited than ever! I will keep you posted on this.
Being cheered up by the latest success of the METAL NIGHTS event series I designed a logo. It is the letters M and N with horns. Check it out on the MN page and tell me if you like it. Maybe we can do some shirts or stickers of it…
The German Metal Hammer has put up a live report including a gallery for the last Metal Night with Dornenreich. Check it out here (German only!).
But there is no time to rest. So I booked new bands, even for 2010 already. November, 7th, we will set up NIGHT OF DOOM where the headliner BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS will be supported by the local doom heroes MIRROR OF DECEPTION (also the organizer of the infamous DOOM SHALL RISE festival – the biggest doom only festival in the world!) and the local Crowbar-like heavy weight DOOM DIVISION. Be sure that I have another surprise waiting for this event…
To something different – yesterday I found out that the new PARADISE LOST album is streamed on their MySpace page at the moment. So after the great video for the title track I gave it a listen and I must admit that this album sounds interesting at last. I will attend the Paradise Lost show in Stuttgart / Röhre for the awesome guys of GHOST BRIGADE in first instance but now I am curious about Paradise Lost as well.
Right now I am listening to KLONE from France like I did yesterday. What a great band. They are recording a new album at the moment. Be sure to check out their last album “All Seeing Eye” – this is something you should not miss! I feel too bad about really remarkable bands being not noticed. This band deserves your attention if you are into progressive rock or metal or if you just want to discover a band that is really different…
I am off to sleep now wracking my brain about when Thunderbird 3 is about to be finished and if it solves IMAP problems… do not forget to vote and comment! Discuss everything, say how you like the music I suggested!
Great post, a friend of mine just went to down under and is in Brisbane at the moment. The traces of the sandstorm were also visible there, but more greyish than orange… Great artwork for the new Agrypnie-album, I don’t really get the title, but maybe this will be explained in another blogpost. Looking forward to your next post and new interesting label news!
