<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is an extremely hard post to write especially coming so soon after one of our most successful <a href="https://intravenousmagazine.bandcamp.com/album/blood-pack-vol-666" target="_blank">free compilations</a> too date... however I have come to the decision that after six years and 1787 articles, it is now time to end Intravenous Magazine as an active website. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Many may have noticed that the frequency of posts has rapidly diminished in the latter half of this year, and this has been due to my own rapidly diminishing mental health over this period. When I started this site it was a new challenge and a middle-finger to the magazine that previously saw the majority of my journalistic output, Dominion, which halted suddenly and without explanation. Six years on and the challenge and enjoyment has become much harder, and the growth of the site has faltered as a result. So to me it feels like the right time to walk away. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As IVM grew and I changed my day job to something more fulfilling, a lot of my own creative projects were sidelined, and since making the decision to put this site to bed I've felt a creative renewal that I'm manically channelling into lots of new projects. I hope those who have read, enjoyed, and contributed to the site over the past six years can understand and support this decision. <br /><br />It may be that I resurrect IVM in the future perhaps, who knows? Or I may look to give my services to another publication after a </span>sabbatical<span style="font-family: inherit;"> period. But in the meantime the site will remain as is in order to remain archive all of the hard work that has gone into it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'll still be plugging the latest compilation on our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/IVMagazine" target="_blank">facebook page</a> so please check that out and any donations made will still go to <a href="https://www.dkms.org.uk/en" target="_blank">DKMS UK</a> to help fight blood cancer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are some other great websites out there still flying the flag for our scene such as <a href="http://www.idieyoudie.com/" target="_blank">I Die: You Die</a>, <a href="http://www.brutalresonance.com/" target="_blank">Brutal Resonance</a>, <a href="http://comamusicmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Coma Music Magazine</a>, <a href="http://www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be/" target="_blank">Peek-A-Boo Magazine</a>, <a href="http://regenmag.com/" target="_blank">Regen Magazine</a>, <a href="https://www.reflectionsofdarkness.com/" target="_blank">Reflections Of Darkness</a> and many others to name but a few that need your continued support. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Goodbye and thanks for six years of making IVM happen.</span><br />

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K5E2pdOOlug/XA_-AG4WB-I/AAAAAAAAB4M/AFI4Y-UizkEciHb4mTdJGDM9vX130sFYACLcBGAs/s1600/cat.j_notes.00064.002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="850" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K5E2pdOOlug/XA_-AG4WB-I/AAAAAAAAB4M/AFI4Y-UizkEciHb4mTdJGDM9vX130sFYACLcBGAs/s320/cat.j_notes.00064.002.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The strange thing about the history of
the gothic movement in Britain is that this generally neglected and
often forgotten cultural current has roots which go back centuries,
crossing paths with other movements and art forms, many of which are
long lost, misrepresented, or misunderstood. The role of gothic
theatre in the formation of modern goth culture is one such example.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The second wave of British gothic
culture effectively began with the first production of '<i>The Bells'</i>,
at the Lyceum in London, in 1871. This single production was a key
event in both the renaissance and eventual respectability of British
theatre, but also indirectly laid the basis of twentieth century
gothic. The fact that it is generally ignored these days, then, is a
curious and unfortunate development.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">'<i>The Bells</i>', a translation by Leopold
Lewis of the 1867 play '<i>Le Juif Polonais (The Polish Jew)</i>' by
Erckmann-Chatrian, was first performed by Henry Irving in that
production. Irving had taken over management of a failing Lyceum
earlier that year. Irving, a renowned 'actor-manager' who took keen
(some may say overbearing) interest in the running of the theatre and
set the artistic direction of the productions, each of which would
invariably star himself, was a huge star in the theatrical world at
the time – but even he had his work cut out in turning around the
fortunes of the Lyceum. There were many empty stalls when 'The Bells'
made its debut. So the huge success of the production was, then,
extremely timely.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The play itself deals with a fairly
simple gothic trope: a wannabe Silesian Burgermeister who owns a
tavern who kills a passing Jewish trader for his money, only to tormented
by his guilt in the form of the sleigh bells of his victim. The
ingredients of the play – cursed ambition, petit-bourgeois avarice,
guilt, madness, and not a little anti-Semitism – were standard
fare. But what was more unusual was the powerhouse, barnstormingly
visceral performance that Irving's production gave. The histrionic,
hammy performance by the Old Man was so electrifyingly emotive that
it provided all the thrills and chills that a Victorian theatrical
audience were craving; the third act of the production was
essentially a showcase for Irving's singularly egomaniacial vision.
It was, as Garth Marenghi would say, “raw, balls-to-the-wall
horror”, and it was a smash hit. It ran for a spectacular 150
nights.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This production had a number of
repercussions. It had the result of making Irving's career, and
taking British theatre a massive step forward towards respectability;
Irving would later become the first actor to be Knighted. It also
rekindled the Victorian appetite for the macabre, and with it the
next generation of gothic.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But probably most importantly it
provided the basis for the figure that would dominate that next
gothic wave. Irving's theatrical manager was one Bram Stoker, who
would become so enamoured with the visceral performances Irving gave
that he intended his new character – one Count Dracula - to be
performed by him. Indeed, the first ever stage performance of
'<i>Dracula</i>' was a dramatised reading on stage at the Lyceum – and the
description of the Count in Stoker's original novel, with his grey
hair and 'aqualine nose', bears an obvious to the Old Man himself.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Where is that legacy now? Well, in one
of those curiously self-defeating things that characterise the goth
movement the Lyceum, after being derelict and then a bingo hall, is
now showcasing 'the Lion King' on a daily basis whilst we were busy
trying to get 200 bands in a small field in the midlands. Irving died
at the Midland Hotel in Bradford, just a few miles from Goth City,
although this fact in itself has also been largely ignored. 'The
Bells' today is just a footnote in the backstory of modern goth.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But that's not important to dwell on at
this time. What is important is to remember that ham pays, that
audacity pays off, and that things begin. All the time, they begin.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Merry Christmas, gothics!

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
OK, stop that. Whatever you're doing.
Yes, that. Stop whatever it is your doing, and what's this.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In the balmy summer of 1954 the prime
time variety showcase of American comedian Red Skelton boasted three
special guest stars in a spooky, elongated skit. Lon Chaney Jr,
firmly established as one of the few bonafide US horror stars of the
post-war era and still a much-loved celebrity; Vampira, at that point
still the macabre host of a horror showcase TV show; and Bela Lugosi,
his career at an all-time low, struggling to resurrect his career. As
a slice of timeless gothica, it is irreplaceable, uncanny, and
perfect.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EPz8MCjSawA/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EPz8MCjSawA?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Beginning with a scene of Lugosi
watching the start of the show on a small television, it moves on to
the then-standard format of a corporate sponsor introducing the show
(in this case, Geritol). Announcing that Red Skelton will be starring
in 'Dial B For Brush', it sets off into an opening gag where Skelton
is offered a job as a door-to-door brush salesman on wages of $12 a
week, with $15 a week deductions (“Sure I'll take it, I need the
money!”) and sent on the worst sales job purely to get him out of
the picture.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Cut to a spooky castle laboratory, and
Lugosi in lab coat singing jollily as he sharpens his tools. Examining
the sleeping girl on the slab, he laments “They don't make gurls
like dis anymooor!”. The wolfman (his 'half brother/half wolf') is
Chaney, gurning comically through oversized teeth. Mistreated, he's
keen to make it up to Dr Lugosi - “Didn't I get your lunch from the
blood bank?”. Lugosi explains his plan to place a 'new, unused
brain' into the body of a robot, to unlock the secrets of the
universe.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Skelton arrives at the door, and is
promptly mailed by Chaney. “This is going to be an easy sale!”,
he yelps cheerily. As they are sizing him up the slab appears
again, the woman screaming unprompted. “Don't ad lib, kid –
you're among stars!” Determined to make the sale, Skelton exclaims
“I never say die!”, to which Lugosi and Chaney reply in unison
“...but we do!”. Drugged, Skelton falls unconscious, Lugosi
dances and sings “It's so peeeecceful in de graaaveyaaard!”, and
part one of the skit is over.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The second part begins with dancing
skeletons, which look quite impressive even today, before Skeleton
awakes in a graveyard with Lugosi and Chaney. “Where am I?
Pasadena?” Then, stage left, enters Lugosi's 'half-sister' Vampira
who instantly lets rip a characteristic shriek. Spotting some new
blood in the water in the form of Skelton, she invites him to call
her 'after he's dead'. Skelton is unconvinced by her advances - “This
is a physical impossibility” (we've all been there). Subsequently
hypnotised by Vampira, Skelton is taken to the lab in the graveyard.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
After the transformation, Skelton
behaves less like a wise god but as a small child – cue much
corpsing (no pun intended!) amongst the cast. Lugosi implores him –
“Give me the information! I must have the information!”, and when
he can't hear Skelton's reply Lugosi looks confused, misses his line,
and everyone corpses again. Skelton chases them around the lab,
amidst many groans and wails, and Vampira emerges from a slab in the
wall to exclaim “Be quiet! You're making enough noise to wake the
living!” And then, stage right, enters Geritol-man again to bring
proceedings to a close.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It's frenetic 20 minutes of chaos,
chills, and sheer joy. Not only are the characters smiling as they
perform their macabre work, but the actors are too – it's a
wonderful slice of spooky from the golden age of American gothic, and
after watching it this terrifying world doesn't seem so bad.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So, yes. Stop whatever it is you're
doing, and watch this. After all, it's so peaceful in the graveyard...

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>COSEY FANNI TUTTI</b> announces the release of her second solo album, <b><i>TUTTI</i></b>, out on Conspiracy International on <b>8 February 2019.</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>TUTTI</i> is comprised of eight soundscapes: an audio self portrait comprising of manipulated sound recordings from Cosey’s life, music and art: <i>“It’s the only album I’ve made that is an all encompassing statement expressing the totality of my being. A sense of the past in relation to the present and everything in between.”</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These eight pieces were originally conceived as the soundtrack to the autobiographical film <i>‘Harmonic Coumaction’, </i>and performed live in February 2017, part of a series of events that accompanied the COUM Transmissions retrospective which opened Hull UK City of Culture 2017. Later that year, <i>‘Harmonic Coumaction’ </i>was presented as an audio-visual installation for Cosey Fanni Tutti’s solo exhibition at Cabinet Gallery, London.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cosey Fanni Tutti explains:<i> “Working on the COUM Transmissions exhibition also coincided with writing my autobiography - collating archive material and re engaging with my past. My work is a continuum, the past feeding the present and vice versa. The album is an interpretation of my past and present, of my understanding the shifting perceptions of how they inform one another. One form creating another through a metamorphic process.”</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On <i>TUTTI</i>, the music has been updated and enhanced with elements of the original tracks re-recorded and further processed specifically to create a unique stand-alone document, separate to the live performance and installation.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Recorded at Cosey Fanni Tutti’s studio in Norfolk, the album, as on her debut release, <i>Time To Tell</i>, merges Cosey’s art activities with her exploration of sound: <i>The album’s autobiographical theme is not locked into any specific time or place, the ‘voices’, instruments and sounds together span decades of my life, music and art. In this context my name 'TUTTI’ shifts from its role as a noun to perfectly represent the concept of the album, also acting as sign for me the artist.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>TUTTI</i> is Cosey Fanni Tutti’s only solo album release since 1982’s <i>Time To Tell</i>. <i>Time To Tell</i> was recently given its first release on vinyl, on a long awaited official deluxe edition. The interim years between solo releases has seen a blisteringly prolific output as an artist and musician. Renowned for her art, her work in the sex industry, as co-founder of Industrial music and Throbbing Gristle, and her pioneering electronic music solo and as Chris & Cosey, Carter Tutti and Carter Tutti Void, she has created throughout with the motto <i>“my life is my art, my art is my life”. </i></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cosey’s autobiography ART SEX MUSIC was published to worldwide acclaim by Faber & Faber in 2017, a Japanese edition has just been published with further translations and an audio book to follow.</span></div>

<div class="m_-3860219797686174624paragraph-spacing-none" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">Formed in the Autumn of 2014, doom metal outfit </span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">Seer</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;"> have curated an eclectic sound across three EPs and a full length record, punctuating traditional doom and glacial sludge with both clean and harsh vocals, folk passages and ambient meditations. The five-piece, Vancouver-based quintet comprises vocalist Bronson Lee Norton, guitarists Peter Sacco and Kyle Tavares, bassist Josh Campbell, and drummer Madison Norton. Seer cite bands like Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Blue Oyster Cult, and King Crimson as the pillars of their sound.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">As with any strong music scene, the one Seer finds itself in draws its strength from the musicians who inhabit multiple projects, often diverse in genre and atmosphere. Seer members also play in </span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">Wormwitch, Empress, </strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">and many others, making for a brimming cauldron of creativity.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">The current Seer sound incorporates black metal and NWOBHM influences, venturing into territory occupied by groups like Judas Priest, Queensryche, Taake, Bathory, The Ruins of Beverast, and Dissection. In 2018, the band recorded their latest, a record dubbed simply </span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;"><em>Vol. 6</em></strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">, and signed with Toronto-based </span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">Artoffact Records</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;"> (</span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">Dead Quiet, Xandria, The Sorrow, Front Line Assembly</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">). The album was produced by </span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">Jordan Koop</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;"> (</span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">Wolf Parade, Lié, The Courtneys</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">), with stunning cover art by </span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">Caué Piloto </strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">(</span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">Un, Jupiterian</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">), and mastered by Joel Grind (</span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">Toxic Holocaust</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2c2c2c;">).</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: #212121;">Kyle Tavares</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #212121;"> expands on the album’s themes: “</span><em style="background-color: transparent; color: #212121;">Vol. 6</em><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #212121;"> tells the story of a monk who belongs to a monastery built upon the tallest mountain on the planet. This monk has been chosen to make pilgrimage to the peak of the mountain where lies the power to return their world to a golden age long past. This pilgrimage is taken once each decade, and no monk has ever returned from his journey and completed the quest. The main theme is dogma and the consequences of accepting rigid principles one must not stray from.”</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When does horror become horrific? This
a question that has been on my mind recently. When do the conceptual,
primal horrors of the word and the film become the kind of horror that
actually keeps us awake at night?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The culture of terror has always been
concerned with the demons of our subconscious, or their
manifestations in modern society. So when we talk about monsters, we
are actually talking about science, and passions, and fear, rather
than actual beasts. A dragon itself isn't as terrifying as the
emotions and projections behind it. The witch, the wizard, the ogre,
the ghost, the dungeon; these are all expressions of other ideas. By
expressing them we exorcise our own negativities, either by catharsis
or by turning them into thrills, chills, or laughter.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The horror is the horror; but it is not
horrific. The horrific relates to the real pain of real people the
actual movements of power and experience that render us powerless. We
can all probably recount many examples of the horrific from our own
lives, where the reality of pain and suffering makes the memory hard
to withstand. These horrors are not entertainment; they are
sobering, disorientating, and without comfort.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Furthermore, there is an increasing
amount of the horrific in the world today. From the separation of
families, the uncovering of abuse on a massive scale, the rise of
extremist street violence, and the election of authoritarian
misrulers the world over, we are seeing an invasion of the horrific
into the world on a massive scale. Fear of disorder, oppression,
violence are filtering through into the collective subconscious of
society. What can Pennywise or Jason Vorhees do that Donald Trump and
Jair Bolsonaro would not?
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It is no wonder, then, that Halloween,
that evening of escapism and the macabre, has turned into a
month-long festival of spooky: as the horrific grows, horror becomes
all the more important. As the real world becomes more and more
horrific, the exorcism of our personal demons becomes the preferable
alternative to misery. And often, a pretend hell is preferable to a
hell on earth.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So, get carving those pumpkins;
practice your hexes; and sharpen your scythes. We may be needing the
cast our own spells soon enough. And, Happy Halloween!

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Occupying the
middle ground between punk and industrial, there was a British music
group from Sheffield, England called Cabaret Voltaire. While their
earliest performances were Dada-influenced performance art, Cabaret
Voltaire went on to blend pop with dance music, techno, dub house and
experimental electronic music, evolving into one of the most prolific
and important groups of their time. While their tenure was short,
their impact was no less profound and influential to the bands they
would help to shape in the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is with this in mind
that, "WHY KILL TIME (WHEN YOU CAN COVER CABARET VOLTAIRE)",
was conceived. Bringing together bands such as: AkA, Bestial Mouths,
Bioassay, Black Agent, Canter, Elegant Machinery, God Module, Having
Issues, Kriistal Ann, Maleagant, Manufactura, Microchip Junky,
Mirland/Larsen, Missing Witness, NØIR, PulseWidthMod & Databomb,
Snowbeasts and SØLVE. Eighteen bands with different approaches
to music, joined by the common thread of paying a respectful homage
to one of the progenitors that they all owe a small piece of their
sound to. "WHY KILL TIME (WHEN YOU CAN COVER CABARET VOLTAIRE)"
is available digitally through Metropolis.

The exhibition will include a new film about Leer and Rental featuring interviews with Daniel Miller, Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti, JD Twitch (Optimo), family members and more. Their groundbreaking work was a huge influence on early 80s synth pop and the independent music scene in the late 70s. Daniel Miller met Robert Rental at a Throbbing Gristle performance and then went on to work with Rental (releasing <i>Live At West Runton Pavilion, 6-3-79</i> on Rough Trade in 1980) and release music by both Robert Rental and Thomas Leer. Robert Rental's classic double a-side single ‘Double Heart’ / ‘On Location’, was Mute's 10th single in 1980.</span></div>

But when I heard it I was blown away... it's everything I thought it would be and more.”</i></span></div>

Emotional, honest and forthright, Eisbrecher forges delicately brutal music without compromises. Heavy industrial guitar sounds, driving electro beats and distinctive vocals that are modern and danceable while simultaneously rejecting the usual Neue Deutsche Härte genre cliches.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://metropolis-records.com/artist/eisbrecher&source=gmail&ust=1539506213408000&usg=AFQjCNFJOhDu-Gp5KZg4ShOSrqJDlyi38Q" href="https://metropolis-records.com/artist/eisbrecher" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://metropolis-records.com<wbr></wbr>/artist/eisbrecher</a><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.eis-brecher.com/home.html&source=gmail&ust=1539506213408000&usg=AFQjCNGrtyLiEmzjKWt2USS5vhy44TZWuQ" href="https://www.eis-brecher.com/home.html" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.eis-brecher.com/ho<wbr></wbr>me.html</a></span>Sean M.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The two new tracks, ‘Make It Happen’ and ‘Dirty Boy’ were recorded at Oxygene in Manchester, and both appear on the new best of compilation, <b><i>acr:set</i></b>. The album is made up of tracks that feature in the band’s incendiary live show (hence the title), and includes rare 7” and 12” mixes alongside the two new recordings and sleeve notes by DJ and writer Dave Haslam.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A Certain Ratio embraced the ethic and culture of the late seventies post-punk explosion, but sounded like nothing else around them and refused to fit in. Formed in Manchester in 1978, the band has had various members throughout their career, with a core line-up of Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson that remains today.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">An influence on generations of musicians - <span style="color: #202020;">from LCD Soundsystem, Happy Mondays, Franz Ferdinand, ESG, Factory Floor, Sink Ya Teeth and Andrew Weatherall</span> – the band’s involvement in cultural touchpoints is sometimes unexpected: a recent exhibition centred on Stockport’s Strawberry Studios uncovered the tape box, but not the tapes, from a recording session with Grace Jones back in 1980 and Madonna’s live debut was supporting A Certain Ratio at the infamous Danceteria in New York in 1982 (where she was working as a hatcheck girl), and sometimes expected, given the unique time and place that they formed – Manchester in 1978, one of the first acts to sign to the newly formed Factory Records.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">The band released their first, Martin Hannett produced, single for Factory in 1979 and went on to be hailed universally as p</span>ioneers of what became known as “punk funk” thanks to the success of their second single, ‘Shack Up’, on both sides of the Atlantic. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Their sound is not easily pigeon holed and their influence can never be understated. The band introduced the avant-garde elements of funk, jazz, electronics, tape loops and technology to the pop song, <span style="color: black;">wrapping it in a post punk aesthetic, adding great clothes and the coolest haircuts.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Formed in 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark, <strong>the Foreign Resort</strong> has spent 10 years creating and honing an explosive yet melancholy post-punk sound that is as rich as it is exciting, and as immediate as it is dark and deep.</span></div>
<div class="m_-2437359245921848288paragraph-spacing-none" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The band combines the shadowy mysticism of The Cure's Pornography era with a driving production aesthetic akin to LCD Soundsystem. Intricate reverb-enveloped guitar lines glide over <strong>Steffan Petersen’s</strong> bass and <strong>Morten Hansen’s</strong> powerful drumming, all while <strong>Mikkel Borbjerg Jakobsen’s</strong> taut and sincere vocal delivery demands attention.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Foreign Resort have toured relentlessly, addicted to the allure of America’s lost highways, sharing bills with bands like <strong>Cold Cave, DIIV, The Soft Moon, She Past Away, The KVB, Slowdive, Minor Victories, Ash Code</strong> and many more. Since 2010, the band has been rigorous in playing more than 420 shows across North America and Europe with performances at several festivals, including <strong>SXSW, Iceland Airwaves, Wave Gotik Treffen, Canadian Music Week, POP Montreal, </strong>and<strong> Nocturnal Culture Night</strong>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After releasing several independent albums, and eager to take their sound to that next level, the band has inked a deal with popular Toronto-based <strong>Artoffact Records</strong>, as well as enlisted the talents of <strong>ACTORS</strong> front-man <strong>Jason Corbett</strong> on production duties.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin-top: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The new album will be announced shortly and is currently scheduled for early 2019.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">October 30th, 2018 will mark the 80th anniversary of Orson Welles' legendary live radio play broadcast of H.G. Wells’ science fiction masterpiece, The War Of The Worlds. In honor of that occasion, Stardust Records is reissuing the broadcast as part of a limited edition, 2 CD collection that includes the complete original 1938 broadcast along with a rare February 1955 broadcast and a October 1940 conversation between Orson Welles and H.G. Wells. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">This set was produced for release by Athan Maroulis who compiled it and penned the accompanying liner notes. As a child, Maroulis, known primarily as the vocalist of Spahn Ranch, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, and presently in NOIR, became fascinated by this story after watching a made-for-television film about the panic that ensued after the original 1938 broadcast. Later, Maroulis began collecting memorabilia relating to both The War of the Worlds and Orson Welles, which he put to use during this project. Painstakingly remastered, this version of The War of the Worlds sounds even better than it did when it first reverberated out of vacuum tube radios back in 1938. </span></span><br />

Ann Cotton was born October 1832 in County Durham , Northern England
.<br />Possibly the greatest female mass murderer Britain has ever
known,<br />she left a trail of death throughout her life, killing
between 16 to 21 of her children and former husbands over many years
by arsenic poisoning .<br />She was eventually arrested, tried and
hanged in Durham Jail on the 24th March 1873.<br /><br />The Police
officer that arrested Mary Ann Cotton was a Sergeant Tom
McCutcheon.<br />Coincidentally, his daughter, Louisa McCutcheon, had
worked for a while for Mary as a seamstress..<br />On departing for
Durham jail Mary gave Louisa her prized sewing box as the only way
she could now pay her for her work…<br />The sewing box was kept in
Louisa's family and passed down through the generations. Rather
uneasily considering what it represented…<br />My own father met a by
then very old Louisa when he was a young child in the 1940's<br />- He
recently recounted this story and passed on the box on to me.<br />Louisa
McCutcheon was my great great great aunt….<br /><br />Originally
released on Projekt Records in 2008....<br />on digipack CD, with
booklet and a selection of Victorian poison bottle labels
included....<br /><br />For October 2018, up until Halloween this album
is available as a free download or a half price
CD...</span></span></span></span></span><a href="https://attrition.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c3355c8ff9671b7789e7876f5&id=d37ee1f136&e=033dcecd05" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US"><span style="font-style: normal;"><u><span style="font-weight: normal;">https://attritionuk.bandcamp.com/album/all-mine-enemys-whispers-the-story-of-mary-ann-cotton</span></u></span></span></span></span></a><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span><strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US"><span style="font-style: normal;">Martin

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Jekyll
and Hyde, romanticist and field commander. With Thomas Rainer
contrast is programme! Whether as supreme commander of
the <b>NACHTMAHR</b> army or alongside exceptional vocalist
Sonja Kraushofer in <b>L'ÂME IMMORTELLE</b> - it is
impossible to overlook the massive competence of over 20 years worth
of stage-experience - most of them at the very forefront as Austria's
most requested scene-export. For the first time since 2008 we will
even have a double-feature at Amphi Festival with both bands
performing shows! Don't miss it!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">As
we speak of duality: the mythologically founded epitome of the term
two-face is of course being delivered by <b>JANUS</b>! The long
anticipated comeback of Dirk Riegert and Tobias Hahn during Amphi
Festival 2014 struck like thunder! They even played twice in front of
a fully packed Theater, presenting their set in an acoustic-jazzrock
outfit at that time. But JANUS would not be JANUS without already
having a new gameplan prepared to reveal another engaging facet of
their creative output! Expect the unexpected!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Erk
Aicrag has never been shy of an energy-pumped show as well! The
effervescent Mexican always goes all-in and excites audiences around
the globe with his vivacious appearance. Within the musical confines
of <b>RABIA SORDA</b> he currently merges electro beats and
gripping industrial-rock into an electrifying symbiosis which,
without question, is destined to create some serious stir at the
Rhine!</span></span></div>

Rhine-area of the year 1985, masterfully dwells the charming trinity

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the things which people
constantly remark upon in the scene is the lack of venues or a
circuit to sustain </span>extensive<span style="font-family: inherit;"> goth gigs in the UK The days of club
tours from lowly and middling goth acts are, it is accepted, long
gone.
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And it is true that many of the old
venues that sustained the scene in the dark days of the '90s have
long gone. The Clarendon in London, Jilly's in Manchester, Rios in
Bradford, the Duchess in Leeds, as well as a slew of smaller local
venues, have all long gone. As have most of the cellar pits and attic </span>belfrys<span style="font-family: inherit;"> that housed the background 'masses' before. Now most cities
have larger venues housing the touring old guard, but increasingly
little on the lower rungs.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The larger gigs represent the high tide
of the scene, where thousands of people cluster to see the likes of
The Mission, or Kiling Joke, or the Nephilim; but very little of
these thousands go to their local club or see smaller acts on the
scene. So at the lower levels of the scene there are smaller
audiences to see bands and sustain live music on a national scale.
Indeed, outside of a few key clubs which combine live music with the
dance floor, there are few venues that can provide a platform for goth
acts to perform – and especially not as part of a planned series of
gigs.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is with great satisfaction, then,
that I have returned from one of the rarest of things – a goth tour
of the UK Taking in Manchester, Lancaster, Sheffield, York,
Newcastle, London and Leeds, the 'Gothism' tour by my act Byronic Sex
& Exile was an exercise in that strange and most wonderful
experience – actually performing music. And I'm happy to say from
what I've observed that the scene – from Manchester's industrial
heritage to York's historic streets to Camden's dive bars – is in
good health. People still come out to watch live music and apply
gratuitous amounts of eyeliner. And if that's in smaller numbers than
before, then so be it – goths scare easily, but they'll be back, and
in greater numbers.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The real thrill of touring is the </span>transient<span style="font-family: inherit;"> existence of travelling, passing through towns and cities,
finding yourself in a strange cafe or bar in the afternoon and
remembering that you're performing again that night – the chance to
adapt and change and clear your mind afresh to apply your creativity.
It is out there, on the journey between one gig and the next, that
the process of creativity starts again.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But the real take-home message from the
tour has to be: that a full UK goth tour is still possible.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So: what can we do with that knowledge?
We shall see...</span></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">South-London based
experimental industrial act Non-Bio return with their latest
full-length studio album 'The Future Is Written'. Known for blending
electronic, powernoise, ambient and industrial elements the band have
crafted an intriguing and sometimes confrontational back catalogue.
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">'The
Future Is Written' sees Non-Bio continue to refine their sound and
push the boundaries of experimental electronics by making their
disjointed and unfriendly sound manipulations strangely appealing. </span>
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
album opens up with the slow rhythmic noise of 'The Servility
Device', a minimal a disorientating track centred around a pulsing
rhythm that throws you off balance from the start. However the dirty,
glitchy old school sounds of 'You Reborn' harks back to the chaotic
but defined appeal of early industrial sounds of acts like Throbbing
Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and Skinny Puppy, and this is built on
nicely by the unfriendly mechanical break-down of tracks like 'Facial
Recognition', 'Distraction', 'Revenge Makes You Stronger', 'Overcome
Anxiety', 'Dreamstate', 'We Own Your Memories' and End User
Agreement' which despite their often noisy elements maintain a sense
of rhythm and melody. </span>
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Though
tracks such as 'Quit Smoking', 'Loose Weight', 'Believe', and
'Nourish' push these noise and experimental ideas into harsher and
less user-friendly areas, and would definitely perhaps tip a casual
listener over the edge there is still method in their madness and
remain compelling listening. </span>
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
production is gritty and low-fi throughout. Distorted vocals,
rhythms, samples and synth sometimes teeter on becoming a pure all of
noise. But it doesn't. There is a minimalist feel to the band's
compensations that doesn't overwhelm the tracks. It's chaotic yes,
but Non-Bio are in full control at all times. </span>
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">This
is another solid album that blurs the lines between appeal and
revulsion, the cerebral and the bestial. There are some solid rhythms
and the odd hint of melody that shine out amongst the harsh din of
noise, but it is in no way a commercial endeavour. Non-Bio are less
“Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep” and more “Do Terminators
Have Nightmares About Their Victims?”. Hopefully there will be
another full-length album to get stuck into before too long. </span>
