Dive some more into the depths of Dmitry Darling’s mind as he once again confronts the relentless grip of fate through the haunting metaphor of a blossoming flower facing its inevitable demise. “Death Bloom” is a potent blend of incisive synths, pounding beats, harsh emotional vocals, and high-energy guitar riffs that thrusts listeners into an emotional maelstrom, teetering on the edge of an abyss where malevolent forces clash with vibrant resilience. As Darling cries out, “In this garden I grow… till I’m no more”.

But the excitement doesn’t end there! This EP also features exclusive remixes by dark elektro label mates MISERIA ULTIMA and post-punk rave maestro DJ SUGAR RODY, elevating the experience to new heights.

This “Trilogy” represents the era of pure electronic sound for Freakangel, during which the band deeply explored and developed their roots in the industrial and electro scene. As their career progressed, Freakangel began experimenting with rock and metal elements, creating a unique hybrid style while always staying connected to their electronic origins. The Trilogy included in this compilation marks the culmination
of the band’s electronic era.

The compilation also features an exclusive remix of “My Darling Bullet” by Antibody, created specifically for this release. In addition, the release includes three remixes of “Crawling In The Dark,” selected from the winners of a 2024 remix contest. Participants used the original remix kit released by Freakangel in 2010, giving these versions a special connection to the band’s early work.

This compilation has been crafted specifically for the upcoming tour, where many of the featured tracks will be performed live during an old-school electro set. Fans will have the opportunity to relive the electronic period of Freakangel and enjoy live performances of their favourite tracks.

The band and its label eventually decided to extend their selection to the top 5 favourite remixes: “We have received a massive amount of remixes and we are very thankful to everyone who took part in this contest!”, says Dmitry Darling. “Sadly, we cannot release every one of them on our EP but we will definitely release some more remixes on upcoming compilations!”…

Very interesting to hear how these featured remixers added their own flavour to this harsh powerful song with new versions hanging between heavy elektro rock and upbeat dark hellektro! And we’re not talking about unknown contributing artists here, and that’s no surprise that they set the quality bar that high for this remix contest: the track-list speaks for itself: a bicephalic rework signed by SEBASTIAN KOMOR and THE TRUE UNION (featuring additional female vocals by Azul Far), but also remix versions by ALIEN:NATION, DIVERJE, NEUROKLAST and UNK! & DOCTORD.

If you enjoyed the original version of “Suicidal (break the cycle)” that starts slow and rough before exploding in your face like a hand grenade for a full blast of adrenaline-pumping sonic assaults where vocal violence and synthetic darkness unite for a firework of poisonous deviance and malevolent anger, you will surely enjoy this extended EP!

Also don’t miss the stunning video clip of “Suicidal (break the cycle)” brilliantly capturing the harsh and addictive intensity of this self-questioning catharsis song.

Bang! Bang! Play at maximum volume, and break the cycle!

With 4 studio albums (plus multiple related singles, EP’s & DVD’s) under the belt and countless live tours and hi-energy festival appearances, Dmitry Darling and his gang of villains did not only decide to return to port at Alfa Matrix land, but also took the challenge of celebrating the reunion and their 10th anniversary of existence by fully rerecording five songs from their debut album in a totally revamped and restyled manner. The “X anniversary” concept was born!

Through these five FREAKANGEL classi-X songs (all selected via a top-5 polling amongst the fans, including the ultimate hits “My Darling Bullet” and “Gods Blind Game”), the band simply demonstrates how much FREAKANGEL gained in force, power, anger and production skills in the last 10 fxxking years! The vocal rage became simply more explicit without hiding behind walls of FX, the perfect balance between machines, guitars and live drums reveal more than ever the subliminal energy and deviant core depth of these exceptional songs.

Incisive and poisonous, elegant and melodic, noir and heavy, vicious and venomous, FREAKANGEL loop here the loop at the top of their form, reaching the ultimate equilibrium between industrial metal and dark electro, and wetting our appetite for the announced 5th studio album on Alfa Matrix.

A very original initiative that inspires respect rather than taking the easy-road of an easy and simple “remastered edition or best-of release”… And this is how once again FREAKANGEL make the difference and stand out from the crowd… Le roi est mort – vive le roi!

Rise your fist and let FREAKANGEL ravish your soul once more. Not for the fainthearted.
