The songwriting maturity they have acquired through time and the flawless production of these new songs confirm that VIRGINS O.R PIGEONS are now definitely here to stay! Armed with their brand new sound and a fresh look they are ready to reinvent the so-called electronic industrial scene!

2 dancefloor smashers constructed around solid crunchy bass lines, heavy pumping sounds, catchy synth melodies and alluring vocals you simply can’t miss.

“Bleed To Lead” also receives the remix treatment from the infamous Progressive Techno DJ CHRISTIAN CAMBAS, bringing this track upside down, beating the hell out of it with Techno as his weapon; while electro/pop act UNIVERSAL TRILOGY captured the song’s vibe enhancing it through an interesting low tempo approach…

Let us celebrate the strong return of this talented electro act cos the future stands ahead of us and it looks like the best is yet to come! Perfection requires a good dose of madness…

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

Two years further down the road and here we are with a second volume of the Alfa Matrix label roster covering what has to be the best synthpop band in pop history. Since 2008, a lot has happened in the Depeche Mode camp, tours, a new album and the band celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of their first single. It’s all in the spirit of being a Depeche Mode fan, specifically reflected in the selection of the covered songs… 

Compiled by and for Depeche Mode fans, “Alfa Matrix Re:covered – a tribute to Depeche Mode vol.2” will offer you once more a very own insight in what makes the Depeche Mode songs so special. Enjoy these interpretations and re-discover the beauty of all those classic Depeche Mode songs re:covered by the Alfa Matrix stable offering a diverse sound panel going from synthpop, over old-school electro to melancholic electro rock.

New drummer Miyuki’s influence is clearly seen, giving the album that special “live” and dynamic feel. The meticulous attention placed in the production of this album is also a mega plus with Pierrot’s experienced ears giving lots of space to experimentation while keeping the band’s alternative attitude intact. We discover more complex rhythm patterns, evolving sounds and a clear focus on the vocal parts giving the album diversity and uniformity at the same time.

VIRGINS O.R PIGEONS call out loud for freedom, change and spiritual revolution on the angry “Gotta Get Mad”, the punchy “Time To Die”, the exploding and depressive club single “Bleed To Lead” or yet the groovy and bitter “Enemy Ghost”. While the Greek band will clearly attract fans of bands like :WUMPSCUT:, PROJECT PITCHFORK, COMBICHRIST, etc. with their harshest angry songs (the hellish “Versus Christus”, the aggressive and revolted “Bordello” or yet the dancefloor classics “Born In Sin” and “Gotta Get Mad”), they also consistently have that characteristic solid pop structure in their songs with catchy melodic synth-lines and versatile energetic vocals which can also please the more DEPECHE MODE-oriented fanbase (“Done With You”, the elegant “Bio Psycho Social” and the dreamy atmosphere of “In My Head”). Fierce, open-minded, bitter and sweet, VIRGINS O.R PIGEONS offer you a high-energy dark industrial sound with strong colorful pop melodies and provocative powerful vocals on what is bound to become a classic album in its genre… Let them drive you insane: perfection always requires a good dose of madness…

This limited deluxe carton box comes with special artwork by Japanese Sheerheart artist Tomoki Hayasaki as well as the “Mad Remixes” bonus disc on which the band contacted artists from different backgrounds and scenes for a fully extravagant collection of remix styles: EDM, drum’n bass, ambient, soundtrack, pop rock, industrial, hardtrance and much more! Featured remixers include SANTA HATES YOU, PSY’AVIAH,JUNKSISTA, IMPLANT, AESTHETISCHE, DIFFUZION, BLACK DOGO (project of their former keyboardist Steph), CHRISTIAN CAMBAS, UNIVERSAL TRILOGY, CENTHRON as well as talented winners of the recently organized remix contest.
