“Rise”, the title-song of this new 5-track EP is absolutely the perfect example of this! A cleverly constructed fist-pumping dancefloor slammer which contains all the explosive elements of an uplifting modern trance track augmented with dark undertones and powerful, emotive, heart-felt vocals courtesy of HELALYN FLOWERS leading lady, n0emi Aurora. A song with an infectious chorus that infiltrates your mind in no time and has you singing along whilst jumping on the dancefloor! This instant club-hit also gets released as an entirely different “Retro Version” giving more space to 80’s synths and drums, while Brazilian label-mates AESTHETISCHE have crafted a typically classy dance remix of “Rise” displaying their wonderful signature sound in full force!

We then also get an almost 9 minute long instrumental monster “Judgement Day”, a throwback to the 90’s style of epic-length upbeat electronic instrumental tracks. And the cherry on the cake, the fast-paced and hi-energy “The Only One”, a futuristic sounding synthpop song (featuring Patricia on vocals) that wouldn’t be completely out of place on a LA ROUX album!

So lay back, close your eyes and enjoy the journey that SD-KRTR takes you on, OR just let it all go, stand-up and throw your hands up in the air! ‘We Will Rise From The Fall’…

Augmented with remixes by label mates VENAL FLESH, JUNKSISTA and ENTRZELLE, alongside the Anthracite Remix contest winners ALIEN:NATION, ANTIBODY and RESTRICTION 9 (who also placed on our recent FRONT 242 contest!). 

The sonic palette varies from harsh aggro tech to more cheerful synth pop, to brooding atmosphere and club bangers, “Anthracite Nights” has a solid pedigree behind it and serves as a fitting send off to the “Apollo & Dionysus” era. The artwork, commissioned by our premier artist TOMOKI HAYASAKA/SHEERHEART DESIGN shows a new depth of visual creativity, closing off the orb design used for every prior AIA E.P release. With a new dawn comes new visual and sonic aesthetic. 

Finally combined with an original exclusive track “The Temptation & Expulsion”, an orchestral closer for the era of the first two AVARICE IN AUDIO albums, the triumvirate are ready to move forward and record their third album, while working on live shows.

More versatile and unpredictable than ever, the Australian gang again covers on this new studio album a broad range of genres in electronic music. From the IDM and Drum N’ Bass infused “Crystal Tears” (featuring guest vocals by MONDTRÄUME!)  to the melancholy inducing orchestral closer “Heartstrings”, from the groovy modern synth pop “Juvenile Desires” (featuring MR KITTY) to the techno body club hit “Her Fire”, from the minimal and almost innocent  nintendo bleeps of the addictive “Fire Is Enough” to the noir and tortured “Six Feet Under”, AVARICE IN AUDIO have crafted both unique and experimental songs alongside potential new harsh elektro club-hits like “World Without Song”, “Pater Noster” or yet “Anthracite Nights”. Evoking comparisons to AESTHETIC PERFECTION, FADERHEAD, COMBICHRIST, GRENDEL or yet L’AME IMMORTELLE, AVARICE IN AUDIO present us here a true chef d’oeuvre of what dark elektro anno 2016 should sound like: powerful & hypnotizing, melodic & experimental, provoking & alluring, fresh & modern… 

The album also comes out as a deluxe carton box edition with a very special second disc: a full track by track remix album called “Dreamers Never Prosper ” featuring industrial/alt electros finest artists, featuring FREAKANGEL, DIE SEKTOR, LUDOVICO TECHNIQUE, PANIC LIFT, ALTER DER RUINE, IVARDENSPHERE, KULT OF RED PYRAMID, STUDIO-X, NITRO/NOISE, [SNUFF], TERROLOKAUST, BIOMECHANIMAL alongside a bonus remix by fellow Australian act SIRUS. Each project contributed their own personal flair to the original songs, transforming them into something stunning.

As always with these unpredictable enfants terribles, this new EP also has its more melancholic and almost pop fuelled elements with songs like the uplifting and moody “NoWhere”, the catchy dance tune “Forbidden Dreams”, the unique slow burner “lost In Space” or yet the experimental psy-trance effort “Never Part”…

Add to this the very diverse remixes by ALKEMIC GENERATOR (with a radio friendly guitar infused retake featuring additional female vocals), the straight EBM act VV303, the synth driven ANTIBODY or yet the thunderous dancefloor energy of CAUSTIC and their characteristic fusion of hard EBM meets industrial techno dance.

The perfect end of year release for the ultimate dancefloor moments in our cyberworld…

To lead off their new album announced for an early Spring 2016 release and titled “Apollo & Dionysus”, we proudly present to you now the first single “World Without Song” that simply exceeds all expectations! “World Without Song” definitely serves as a perfect teaser: a devastating dark elektro club anthem, penned by Gerry Hawkins and Chris Anderson (formerly of DREAM RECALL) and produced expertly with ASCENSION EX. This new song, augmented with genre bending remixes by our very own ACYLUM, but also CROWNS OF BONE, SERAPHIM SYSTEM, AXIOM & BENJAMIN’S PLAGUE ensure there is something for everyone. From the darkest styles of aggrotech, trance, trap & dubstep, “World Without Song” proves to be a versatile song when handed to raw, hungry talent! And last but certainly not least, is a trance/techno hybrid B-side song, exclusive to this single titled “Last Judgement” calling upon apocalyptic feelings and explosive release; and again reminding us how versatile and unpredictable AVARICE IN AUDIO can be…

Evoking comparisons to AESTHETIC PERFECTION, FADERHEAD, COMBICHRIST & IMPERATIVE REACTION, AVARICE IN AUDIO present us here another tour de force for the first single from the forthcoming “Apollo & Dionysus” album and wets our appetite for more…Expect the unexpected!

And for the second half, unreleased remixes by FRAGILECHILD & EUPHORIAN, alongside SERAPHIM SYSTEM, previously released only via Matrix Downloaded 003. And a previously released remix, exclusive to the second CD of “Shine & Burn” by REVENANT CULT to close off the remix listing off nicely, by being a personal favourite of AIA and being gorgeously cinematic in its execution.

And to be the final feature for the “Shine & Burn” era, A stripped down rework of the song “Beyond My Control” remade by Gerry & Lawrie to bring an ending to the release, and as a declaration for the future of the project. Complete with a beautiful cover by frequent collaborator SHEERHEART designs and mastering by the prolific STUDIO-X, the final release for “Shine & Burn” comes to a close. With perfect Synergy.

The 10-track single is available for download now from Bandcamp, see the player below.
