Acylum – Kampf Dem Verderb 2CD box

admin — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 15:44:02 +0000

After some ear-challenging releases with their side-projects TOTEM OBSCURA and AENGELDUST, plus the publication of rare early demo material through the “Filthy Memories” series, the sulphurous duo of ACYLUM serve us the wealthy successor of “Pest” with their 6th studio album entitled “Kampf Dem Verderb”.

On this 12-track album, Pedro “ACYLUM” Engel and Nadine “COORAZ” Engel drag us one more time on the battlefield and bring us close to the overall bloody atmosphere of hatred, violence, terror and war. Faithful to their provocative approach, ACYLUM do not hesitate confronting humanity once again with its miserable existence, placing it in front of a mirror and challenging all of us to stand up strong beyond our ideas and own beliefs rather than getting preconceived concepts and opinions fed to us, pushing us into corners where we don’t feel comfortable to sit.

Musically, ACYLUM fans will recognize the barbarian hellektro duo’s characteristic sound: rough and powerful, hammering and almost deviant, but the new tracks also reveal a subliminal catchiness and melodic approach through noise that reinforces their addictive force. Our daily orgy of violence and cowardice translated and distilled through boiling synth machines, oppressive (mostly German) vocal samples and aggressive distorted vocals. Besides a heavy load of new harsh hammering dark elektro club hits, we will also notice an impressive multi-lingual collaboration effort with 6 other bands on the remake of the band’s classic song “The Enemy” as well as the icy and oppressive “Masquerade” evoking a jamming session between :WUMPSCUT: and HAUS ARAFNA around the hot thematic of the Covid19 pandemic.

The first edition of this album is released as a deluxe double-CD digipak edition, revealing the amazing deviant and noir art of talented Japanese designer Tomoki Hayasaka (www.sheerheart.jp) and offering some 14 exclusive bonus remixes by SUICIDE COMMANDO, ARMAGEDDON DILDOS, IMPLANT, AESTHETISCHE, MENTAL EXILE, NANO INFECT, ASSEPTIC ROOM, ICE AGES, LARVA, ADVENT RESILIENCE, PROJECT ERRATIC, DIRTY K, SCHWARZSTERN and DAVID BLACKSTAR.

Acylum – Hate EP

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 09:36:28 +0000

While the “Pest” album continues its invasion without any disguise and generates panic reactions in the darkest industrial clubs across the world, the ACYLUM devastating machine returns to spit its ”Hate” and “Venom” in your face through a surprise Doppelganger sonic attack loaded with some 19 tracks in total split across two simultaneously released complementary EPs…

Shot one… comes “Venom”!
An aggressive, dirty and suffocating brand new track featuring ACYLUM’s dense and lingering slow-paced darkish side in its original version which gets augmented with 8 alternative remixes including a massive club version by DJ ELE or yet a splendid retake by legendary German duo PSYCHIC FORCE. Add to this the other exclusive cut “Sueños Rotos” featuring guest vocals by Carlos Ruiz (frontman of DIOXYDE, ASSEPTIC ROOM…).

Shot two… comes “Hate”!
“Pest’s most club oriented song “Born To Be Hated” gets delivered in 5 new versions ranging from VENAL FLESH’s tortured somber elektro retake to DJ SIMON CARTER’s banging club mix! Add to this two remixes of each, “My Knife” and “Pest”, and you rapidly realize that this doppelganger comes highly recommended to all dark elektro DJ’s and the true ACYLUM militants… Other featured remixers include LLUMEN, VV303, PROJECT ERRATIC, XENTRIFUGE, FIRST BLACK POPE & VISCERA DRIP

Acylum – Zigeunerjunge EP

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 14:14:54 +0000

After having been active with various side-projects for some time, the German master of uncompromising dark elektro Pedro Engel is back with a new digital EP “Zigeunerjunge” serving us the perfect appetizer for the band’s forthcoming 5th studio album “Pest”… Aggressive, powerful and dirty, ACYLUM knows no limits in its artistic approach and dares to write about touchy socio-political topics in Europe and mixing them with provocative German vocal samples.

This new club hit will once again make alarm sirens resound across the globe: ACYLUM is definitely back in town! Their new sonic virus will spread fast and without limits especially when augmented by the astounding remixed versions by AMDUSCIA, COLD THERAPY or yet BENJAMIN’S PLAGUE! The EP also reveals the slower and more melancholic work of ACYLUM with the bewitching and dense atmospheres of “Follow Me” and an interesting reinterpretation of “My Knife” by INAKI KREATOR.

This EP is only available as a download via Bandcamp (see player below).

Aengeldust – Dancefloor killer EP

admin — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 09:49:07 +0000

Directly imported from the sombre ACYLUM bunker, Nadine “Cooraz” Engel’s solo-project AENGELDUST is definitely the hardest and loudest project from our beloved German gang!

admin — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:29:34 +0000

It’s been 7 years since their first sonic missile took the German bunker clubs by surprise with the dancefloor fillers titled “Rape”, “Glock 17″ or yet”Alone”. Since then, ACYLUM never stopped shaking the dark elektro scene with multiple album releases, astounding remix works for an impressive list of artists and other side-project involvements (TOTEM OBSCURA, AENGELDUST, HAUSHETAERE…). Today in 2014, Pedro Engel makes this long time deleted debut album available again in a remastered version with some 14 bonus tracks for his ever growing fanbase who were not there for the first steps of the band which was back then formed together with WYNARDTAGE’s frontman on lead vocals… Extra material including rare and unreleased remix work from bands like ALIENPRODUKT, WYNARDTAGE, LA MAGRA, ASSEPTIC ROOM, ICE AGES, STIN SCATZOR and many more. Complete your ACYLUM music collection now before the new album comes out…

Totem Obscura – Nachtwache EP

admin — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 15:28:24 +0000

Now that autumn already set in and winter will soon be knocking at our doors, ACYLUM members’ side-project TOTEM OBSCURA sent our way some of their universe’s dark creatures announcing the switch of season through freezing elektro sounds and melancholic tones. Title song “Nachtwache” has this kind of haunting atmosphere which gives a kind of suffocating mystic touch to this sombre catchy song, while “Wounds Of Silence” shows TOTEM OBSCURA’s harsher dark elektro side with its oppressive marching powerful beats and distorted vocals.

In addition to these two brand new songs, the German duo also offers us an upbeat tortured mix of the title song by AENGELDUST as well as a club mix of last album’s pearl “Hexe”… No surprise that TOTEM OBSCURA’s noir melodies were described by the press as the offspring of KIRLIAN CAMERA and HOCICO!

This EP is only available as a download via Bandcamp (see player below).

AENGELDUST has another kicking surprise for you “Motherfuckers”…! If Nadine “Cooraz” Engel (ACYLUM, TOTEM OBSCURA…) left you knocked out with her “Freakshow” debut album, you will surely enjoy this new punch-in your face EP!

This new dancefloor killer machine gets reinvented in some 7 different versions by electro noise activists like ADVENT RESILIENCE, ANTIBODY, DETUNED DESTRUCTION, INAKI KREATOR NOIZE, MOON GATES PROJECT and VV303 each adding their very own imprint and flavour to the track.
