With last year studio album “Coward Philosophy”, MILDREDA added a killer album to the legacy of the classic 90’s dark elektro genre bringing back to life the sound of bands like PLACEBO EFFECT, NUMB, YELWORC, IN SLAUGHTER NATIVES or even early PROJECT PITCHFORK and also MENTALLO & THE FIXER. MILDREDA offers sinister cold sequences, aggressive vocals, KLINIK-al bombastic beats and noir haunting atmospheres in a top-notch poignant production quality that instantly grasps you by the throat until suffocation. 

Today, the Belgian enfant-terrible confirms that the MILDREDA monster is more alive and kicking than ever since its much acclaimed resurrection! For the occasion of their exclusive support show of the legendary SKINNY PUPPY Godfathers, MILDREDA decided to release a limited 8-track EP entitled “Cowards”. An EP release bridging the previous “Coward Philosophy” album (from which we find club and extended versions of club hits like “This Time”, “The Parting” or yet the unmistakable “Erazor”) and the much promising forthcoming new album from which a bunch of new songs get revealed, giving a solid appetizer of the sombre abysmal tour de force that is coming our way from the MILDREDA fabric… 

Dark cold electronics clashing with smart sampling from bombastic operas to horror flicks. Embracing the “Vancouver sound” style characterized by bands like FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, NUMB and also SKINNY PUPPY and fused with the darkest and coldest Belgian EBM tradition of acts like THE KLINIK, INSEKT or even early FRONT 242 (eg. “Neon Eon”). The “Cowards” EP undoubtedly introduces the noirest and iciest MILDREDA tracks ever heard. Enjoy the powerful icy blast and get ready for the next level!

The adventure of “Yesteryears” actually started some years ago when keyboardist Didier ‘Snake’ Salvatore wrote the blueprint for the track. That blueprint became the original demo version of “Yesteryears” to which Jan De Wulf later added the vocal line. That unreleased version remained untouched for quite a long time until Jan made a whole new version leaving the original trance sound out of the cut and adding guitars instead. This became the album version as we know it. DISKONNEKTED made a new club edit of the album version especially for the EP, while Snake introduced his very own solo project by reworking the original version with his fresh and trancy LIQIOD NEWT mix.

DISKONNEKTED also teamed up with long time comrades THIS MORN’ OMINA for a very ethereal and ambient layered remix of “Tunnel Vision”, while HALO IN REVERSE re-imagined the landscape of “Neverland” giving it a dark and mellow twist. Add also a new club edit of “Empty”, a heavy beat re-interpretation of the old “Personal Demon” and the explosive VIP version of “Justify”.

Rendez-vous on the dancefloors for some hot exciting moments together with DISKONNEKTED…

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