Hoooooowww almost 2 years with no update, nice one! Anyway it seems ever new release becomes more difficult to put out than the previous one. It took me more than an a year to gather the four covers with the right mix/mastering and finally the artwork but in the end here it is, the DARK 80's 10 inch with covers of british post punk of the 80's by modern french bands!

DARK 80's
A british post punk comp
ATR 005 | 10"


You can download Year of no light cover of Joy Division's 'Disorder' here: Year of no light - Disorder

Year of no light - Nord 2LP has been repressed and i still have loads of them. The band is recording is currently mixing its second LP and is releasing a bunch of collaborations / split / live recordings. Check it out, they should be available in the distro pretty soon. The new album will be out later next year on other labels.

Caldera is back from the graveyard with a new drummer and bassist and is getting ready for new shows and releases.

Llorah is dead, it happened already a while ago but i forgot to bring you this sad news. Paul (drums) keeps playing in Kiruna, Choko (singer) plays guitar in Assassin of youth and I (Pierre, guitar) have teamed up with a new drummer to form Carne, where i scream and play guitar. Our first EP 'Metropolis' will be out on Atropine in the next months or so.

And finally The north bay moustache league (dirty old folk of the bayou from the 20's) first 7 inch should already be out since months but we are having difficulties with the mastering and test presses. Hopefully this will get fixed in the next few weeks. I can't wait to have it.

DARK 80's - A british post punk comp

This is 4 bands paying their tribute to their first tapes, the kind of tape you'd save money for during months before finally being able to buy it. And then you'd listen to it till it gets eaten by your ghetto blaster, but you already knew the songs by heart, so who cares. Here is the rewriting of 4 of these songs by bands that push the limits of their sound with each of their tracks.

Relase date : 01/06/2009
Pressing infos : 500 10", artwork by Jules Esteves
Tracklisting :
1. One second riot - One hundred years (The Cure)
2. Abronzius - Charlotte sometimes (The Cure)
3. Kill the thrill - Pandys are coming (Killing joke)
4. Year of no light - Disorder (Joy Division)

CALDERA - Mist Through Your Consciousness

This is 8 tracks of pure riffing and this is as simple as 1+1=2. They may be squeezed, turned upside down or inside out but the riffs are here and they flaw endlessly like magma in a gas chamber. They are the raw material of which this album is made out. Caldera melts heavy chunks of negative riffing into its thick layered instrumental post doom metal. This delicious recipe is embellished with eruptive bursts of pure evilness.

02. Juniper

Atr 003 | MCD
SEVEN BOWLS OF WRATH - Salt Your Wounds

5 tracks of thick and tortured yet metallic hardcore. Acme, Morser and Anodyne had their time, the next generation is coming and ready to claim their dues. Think of Crowpath getting covered by His hero is gone and you're not even half the way of thinking how heavy 7 Bowls of wrath can be. There's no groove in there, that's 16 minutes of darkness and that's far enough. Actually far more hatred, loathing and disgust that you need to get in a whole life.

Release date : 12/11/06
Pressing infos : 500 copies
Tracklisting :
01. State of mind
02. Void | MP3
03. Salt your wounds
04. Black despair
05. Scorched soil

Liner Notes : Recorded and mixed by Nanto, april 2006. Masterd by Francois at Ilia Cobb studio, may 2006

LLORAH - s/t

This is the result of what happens when you restrain 5 nerdy kids from having their daily internet shoot, they get depressed and will need some kind of substitute. Expect the worse, they've been deprived for a long time now and will spit their anger and sorrow at your face. While the main influences will come up to your mind pretty rapidly, the band tries to forge its own identity by adding gloomier parts with deep throat vocals or some more noise-rock (Unsane, Tantrum) inspired hammering riffs.

Release date : 12/02/2007
Pressing infos : 450 and a few copies in a silkscreened cardboard packaging
Tracklisting :
1. Fletrissures precoces
2. Nos ombres jalouses
3. Echos | MP3
4. Relique

Liner Notes :
Recorded and mixed by Stephane Jeanningros, July 2006.
Mastered by Francois at Ilia Cobb studio, August 2006.
Total time : 26'47

YEAR OF NO LIGHT - Nord

The city is laid to waste. Ashes and ruins of a formerly pleasant life are stuck frozen by the glacial conditions, undesirable consequences of a thermonuclear incident. Survivors gather their last forces in a final hope before the ineluctable end of it all occurs. A bird, the size of a whale, the weight of a concrete block appears and brings them to the last peaceful haven. In the glimpse of an eye, the last wall confining the incident collapses. The melting lava as it enters in contact with the freezing air produces a gigantic thermal shock, that is (as our love) powerful enough to destroy this fuckin world. The soul crushing machine is now asking its tribute.

Gloomy landscapes, Egyptian rituals, Occult beings, Lonely wanderings, Unborn suns and Full moons. You know the bands, no need to name them.

Release date : 06/06/06
Pressing infos : 500 copies gatefold : 300 on black vinyl & 200 on purple wax vinyl
Tracklisting :
Side A :
01. Selenite
02. L'angoisse du veilleur de nuit d'autoroute les soirs d'alarme à accident
03. Traversee | MP3

05. Les mains de l'empereur
06. Tu as fait de moi un homme meilleur

Side C :
07. Somnambule
08. Prosodia
09. Par economie pendant la crise on eteint la lumiere au bout du tunnel

Side D :

Liner Notes :
Recorded by Serge MORRATEL in Geneva at Rec. Studio (KNUT, SHORA, TANTRUM...), september 2005 Mastered by Alan DOUCHES in New York at West West Side Studio, january 2006
