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.

The AVARICE IN AUDIO mastermind strikes back now with “Waves” offering you 4 new songs plus 2 bonus kick-ass remixes of the club-hit “In Control” by legendary C-LEKKTOR and MIND.DIVIDED. Produced this time by Jay Android (HEARTWIRE/RUINIZER) and Lawrie Bayldon (STUDIO-X / AVARICE IN AUDIO), “Waves” is a quite eclectic EP with a heavy emphasis on collaboration experiment and audio/visual material featuring guest vocals by Jay Android (HEARTWIRE/RUINIZER), Damasius (MONDTRÄUME) and Chris Anderson (ECHO GRID),

Songs like the aggressively addictive “Stockholm Syndrome”, the more somber “Reasons To Die”, the auto tune electropop / vaporwave crossover “I Believe In ピース”, the reggae/dubstep hybrid track “I Wish” and last but not least “Now It’s Time”: the ultimate mix of electro industrial à la COMBICHRIST with emotional female vocals… They all display the unique facets that make DREAM RECALL so unique and confirms them as experts of their crafts… A must-have EP for all fans of emotional fresh electronic music with an addictive less-is-more attitude and a powerful modern EBM touch.

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.

This year we present DREAM RECALL. If AVARICE IN AUDIO is the braggadocio and the grandiose, then DREAM RECALL is the minimal, and the emotional. And to open we have “In Control”, a song displaying the duality of DREAM RECALL, while Chris’ somber vocals glide with the romantic synthesiser sounds, Gerry’s screams once again add a sense of urgency to the song, and provide another release for both sides of love. Both the enraged need for revenge, and the melancholic need to accept and attempt to move on. DREAM RECALL’s debut song was released through Alfa Matrix’s legendary Endzeit Bunkertracks [act 7] compilation, and on that strength alone was chosen to be released as a single.

Evoking the spirit of artists such as AESTHETIC PERFECTION, ASSEMBLAGE 23, IMPERATIVE REACTION & THE PRESETS, DREAM RECALL is a hybrid of both passionate sound design, provocative lyrics crafted for an emotional response, and beautiful visuals to provide a portrait to the sound as well as the people behind it.

“In Control” is the debut single from the full length album titled “Waves” coming soon. Featuring an intense rework by Resistanz 2015 favourites RUINIZER, a powerful club mix by long-time collaborators and Alfa Matrix artist STUDIO-X, A monstrous epic reimagining by E.S.A: ELECTRONIC SUBSTANCE ABUSE and a club rework of the song “I Wish”, “In Control” is the perfect introduction from a fresh project that shows much promise.

This EP is only available as a download EP, see the player below.
