Erevos (ρεβΣ/Erebus) はギリシャ初のダークウェイヴ/ゴシックバンドの一つ。1989年からわずか10年間の活動でしたが, 三枚のアルバムをリリースすることができました。彼らの最初の二枚のアルバムはレコード盤でリリースされたが, 最後の一枚"Anoytes Ehthres" (ανßητεΣχθρεΣ/Silly Hates) は1999年にCDのみでリリースされた。バンドはこの直後に解散。 25年ぶりに200枚限定で発売されたこのアルバムは ギリシャのオルタナティヴ・シーンの新旧のバンドやアーティストをプロモートする新たに設立されたDIYレーベル, Asilo Oniron (Íσννερων/Dreams'Asylum) Recordsからリリースされた。 Formed in 1989 in Athens (Greece) by members of "Ρέκβιεμ" ("Requiem"). Erevos (Έρεβος/Erebus) is one of Greece's first darkwave/gothic bands. Starting in 1989, they were active for just ten years but managed to release three albums. Their first two albums were released on vinyl, while the last one "Anoytes Ehthres" (Ανόητες Έχθρες/Silly Hates) was released in 1999 just on CD. Just after this, they were disbanded. Twenty-five years after the issue of this last album, it is now released for the first time in a limited number of 200 records. The album has been issued by Asilo Oniron (Άσυλο Ονείρων/Dreams' Asylum) Records, a newly established DIY label which promotes both new and old bands and artists from the Greek alternative scene.

Geheimnis Music Productions – GHMN.039-N.14, Geheimnis Records – GHMN.039-N.14 新しいバンドと新しい楽曲のリリースに注力し続けている私たちの39作目のリリースは 主に新型コロナウイルス感染症のロックダウンとその後の世界中での激変的な出来事の後に出現した, 現代のギリシャのアンダーグラウンド ダークシンセ / EBM 現象に捧げられています。Γεμάτος Αράχνες, Ρε Φίλε! (Gematos Arahnes, Re File!/ I'm Full Of Spiders, Man!)のシンセパンク的な姿勢から, Kama Mutaのダーク・シンセ, Night In Athensのアンビエント・シンセ・ポップ, そしてThe Man & His Failures, XVIVのより激しいダーク・エレクトロに至るまで, このムーブメントは現代の西洋文明の価値観や道徳基準の機能不全, 腐敗, 崩壊への反発を直接的または寓意的に表現している。 Staying focus on releasing new bands and new material, our 39th release is dedicated to the contemporary Greek underground dark synth/EBM phenomenon that emerged mainly after the covid-19 lockdowns and the years that followed with cataclysmic events all over the world. From the synth-punk attitude of Γεμάτος Αράχνες, Ρε Φίλε! (Gematos Arahnes, Re File!/ I'm Full Of Spiders, Man!) to the dark synth of Kama Muta and from the ambient synth pop of Night In Athens to the more harsh dark electro of The Man & His Failures and XVIV, this movement expresses its repulsion - directly or allegorically - towards the dysfunctionality, corruption and collapse of the modern western civilization's values and moral standards. 収録アーティスト Night In Athens / The Synth-A / The Man & His Failures / Blakaut / XVIV / Γεμάτος Αράχνες,Ρε Φίλε! / Kama Muta / Eddie Dark / Παγανή Κυριακή / Sensitive Content Soundcloud 試聴 https://soundcloud.com/geheimnis-records/sets/va-path-to-nowhere-a-contemporary-dystopian-tale-of-the-greek-synth-underground

Young And Cold Records – YCR/193 (2024) スペインでは1980年初頭からゴシック/ダークウェイヴが盛んになりましたが, 当時はイギリスやアメリカの影響を受けていました。それにもかかわらず Paralisis Permanenteや後のGothic Sexのようなバンドや Esplendor Geometricoのような幅広いエレクトロ・インダストリアル・シーンがあった。World Wide Webの躍進以来, 世界中のバンドとリスナーが簡単に集まるようになり, 「エキゾチック」 な国からのエキサイティングなバンドが絶えず生まれています。スペインのトリオDarkwaysは過去2年間にいくつかのデジタル・レコーディングをリリースしてきたが, 今回,彼らの最初のレコードとCDのアルバム"Resonance"を発表する。バンドの自己紹介は「様々な影響とエレクトロニック・サウンドへの情熱を持つバルセロナ出身のDarkwave/Post-Punk」。これには多くの真実がありますが, 基本的には90年代のスタイルの長い純粋なGothrockであり 残念ながら今日ではほとんど聞かれません。キャッチーなプロダクションと繰り返されるシンセサウンドはDarkwaysが注目を集めること間違いなしのDarkwaveクラブに十分な材料を提供している。 Darkways is a darkwave band from Barcelona, Spain, blending influences from rock and metal with a passion for exploring the realms of post-punk and synthesizer-based sounds.The band creates a captivating sonic landscape where darkwave sensibilities meet the nostalgic echoes of vintage electronic soundscapes. Like Italy, Spain developed a lively Gothic/Darkwave-scene early on, from the beginning of the 1980s, but at the time it was overshadowed by acts from England and the USA. Nevertheless, there were bands such as Paralisis Permanente or later Gothic Sex and a broad Electro/Industrial scene, for example Esplendor Geometrico. Since the breakthrough of the World Wide Web, it has become easy for bands and listeners from all over the world to come together and exciting bands from „exotic" countries are constantly emerging. The Spanish trio DARKWAYS have released several recordings digitally over the last two years and now present „Resonance", their first album on vinyl and CD. The band´s self-description is „Darkwave from Barcelona with various influences and a passion for electronic sounds/Post-Punk." There is a lot of truth in this, but basically it is pure Gothrock in the style of the 90s for long stretches, which is unfortunately rarely heard today. The catchy production and repeated synth- sounds also provide enough material for the Darkwave-clubs, where DARKWAYS are sure to attract some attention. Songs like „Shadowdancer" and especially „I like the Night (And the Night likes Me)" will quickly find their fans. „Inexistance" is reminiscent of Guitar Wave with driving drums and Goth-vocals, a mixture that is guaranteed to reach an audience. „Neon Lights" is not, as one might expect, dedicated to the 80s, but pure 90s Darkwave. „Madness", on the other hand, rocks hard and is guaranteed to be a live favourite. Finally, „More than Dreams" also offers the certain rock-influence and could also make the album interesting for mainstream listeners. In the end, however, as mentioned at the beginning, it is Gothrock with Darkwave-vibes, high catchiness and pleasantly unaffected vocals. Solid as a rock and a candidate for a huge surprise success!

Young And Cold Records – YCR/192 (2024) QEK JUNIORの「Das Gespenst Der Freiheit」は 驚くほど暗く, それでいてクラブらしいアルバムで古いファンはすぐに喜び, 新しいファンにもアピールするだろう。“Minimal Noise Pop” – 純粋なドイツのアンダーグラウンド。"DAF meets Einstürzende Neubauten" 先日発売されたコンピレーションCD「Art Brut」に続き QEK Juniorの4枚目となる完全新作! Dominic DaubのソロプロジェクトはTobias Dupontのライブサポートを受けており, Minimal SynthとEBMをミックスした独特のユーモアセンスで常にダンスフロアを盛り上げている。新しいアルバム (おそらくLuis Bunuelのシュルレアリスムの映画ドラマ"Le Fantôme de la liberté“にちなんで名付けられたと思われる) ではドイツ語がわかる人なら それだけで背筋が伸びるような曲名で新しい章が書かれている。 もうお察しの通り, ユーモアと並んで第二の, 時には社会批判的で政治的なレベルがあちこちにありますが, それが完全に前面に押し出されることはありません。つまり「Das Gespenst ...」は、クラブでダンサブルなエレクトロ・アルバムとして「消費」できるだけでなく, 自宅で静かに聴くこともできる。エレクトロアルバムでは必ずしもそうではありません。ダークでミニマルなスタイルのこのアルバムの最初のトラックはすでにThe Klinikの最高の時代を思い出させ, 聴衆をすぐに特定のムードにするコンサートのオープニングとして機能することは間違いありません。ダークで実験的な“Extravagant”は Esplendor GeometricoとLiaisons Dangereusesの間のどこかで続きます。そして初めて、(おそらくブニュエルの映画にもちなんで名付けられた)のミニマルポップがクラブのダンスフロアを狙っており, その直後には皮肉なGross, Blond,Tuberkulösが続く。タイトルが約束するように“Deine MuddahörtDie Krupps” (あなたのお母さんはDie Kruppsを聴いている) では物事が再び軽くなる。すぐにシーンの定番になりそうなキャッチーな曲。他の曲はなんとなくWelleを彷彿とさせる:Erdballまたは最も純粋なMinimal Synthのベスト-そしてそう:最後の曲“Marian”はまさにあなたが期待していた通り... The Sisters Of Mercyのカヴァーであり, 一見無敵のアイコンの前でのQEK JUNIORの勇気と無邪気さを示している。 QEK JUNIOR´s „Das Gespenst Der Freiheit“ is a surprisingly dark, yet club-ready album that will quickly delight old fans and appeal to new ones. „Minimal Noise Pop’ – pure German underground. DAF meets Einstürzende Neubauten’. Following the recent compilation CD „Art Brut“, here comes the all new, 4th album by QEK Junior! Dominic Daub´s solo project, supported live by Tobias Dupont, has always been known for its mix of Minimal Synth and EBM with a quirky sense of humour and always gets the dancefloors moving. With the new album (presumably titled after a surrealist film drama by Luis Bunuel „Le Fantôme de la liberté“) a new chapter has been written, with song titles that – if you understand German - alone making you sit up and take notice. As you can already guess, there is a second, sometimes socio-critical and political level here and there alongside the humour but it never slips completely into the foreground. This means that „Das Gespenst…” can be „consumed“ throughout as a danceable Electro-album in the club, but can also be listened to at home in peace and quiet. Which is not always the case with Electro- albums. Already the album’s first track, in a dark, minimalist style, is reminiscent of The Klinik´s best days and is sure to serve as a concert opener to put the audience in a certain mood straight away. The dark and experimental „Extravagant“ continues, somewhere between Esplendor Geometrico and Liaisons Dangereuses. Then, for the first time, the Minimal-Pop of „Goldene Zeiten“ (possibly named after a Bunuel-film, too) aims for the club dancefloors, directly followed by the ironic „Gross, Blond, Tuberkulös“. As the title promises, things get lighter again with „Deine Mudda hört Die Krupps“ (Your mom listens to Die Krupps). A catchy tune that is sure to quickly become a scene standard. Other songs are vaguely reminiscent of Welle: Erdball or purest Minimal Synth at its best – and yes: the last song „Marian“ is exactly what you´d expect...a cover of The Sisters Of Mercy that also shows QEK JUNIOR's courage and insouciance in the face of seemingly unassailable icons.

Young And Cold Records – YCR/188 (2024) 「Wiener Linien」は不穏なスイスのウェイヴ・デュオ Karl Kave & Durianの4枚目のスタジオ・アルバム。 音楽的にはノイエ・ノイエ・ドイチェ・ヴェレのスタイルに近く, ポストパンクやダークウェイヴの要素が含まれており, 歌詞はドナウの大都市ウィーンに到着した個人的な経験と結びついている。彼らは特権と孤独の間, 希望とあきらめの間の緊張の領域を探求しています。 Karl Kave & Durianは ある種の曖昧さと矛盾に対する開放性の原則に忠実であるが, 疑念や実存的な恐怖を認めることを恐れていない。だから 彼らは優しさと噛みつき, パンチラインと詩の間のバランスを取っている。 "Wiener Linien" is the fourth studio album by the restless Swiss wave duo Karl Kave & Durian. Musically close to the style of Neue Neue Deutsche Welle with elements of post-punk and darkwave, the lyrics tie in with personal experiences of arriving in the Danube metropolis of Vienna. They explore a field of tension between privilege and loneliness, between hope and resignation. KKD remain true to the principles of a certain ambiguity and openness for contradictions, but are not afraid to admit to doubts and existential fears. They hence achieve a balance between gentleness and bite, between punchline and poetry. Bandcamp 試聴 https://karlkavedurian.bandcamp.com/album/wiener-linien

Young And Cold Records – YCR/180 (2024) 「1984」は「新しい」アルバムではないが, いくつかの点で非常に特別だ。パンデミック中の2021年に制作され, これまではデジタル版のみがリリースされている。音楽的にはこの時期に制作された他の多くの作品と同様にSIXTH JUNEの通常のエレクトロ・ウェーブ/ミニマル・シンセのサウンドとは一線を画している。もちろん, ロックダウン期間は多くのミュージシャンに実験的な音楽を生み出すきっかけとなり,これも例外ではありません。 「1984」は暗く, 暗く, 実験的だ。40分を超える楽曲は「歌」という言葉では作品を正しく表現できないだろうが, 曲全体を通して催眠的に流れる短いベースラインに基づいており, 他のサウンドで補完されている。しばしば少し不協和音のサックスが使用され, 暗いスペース・シンセと水の流れのようなノイズ... すべてほぼ完全にインストゥルメンタルでサポートされています。Sixth JUNEだと知らなければ,その背後にいるデュオを疑うことはないだろう。 ダンサブルでキャッチーな曲ではなく, ごく初期のCoilの楽曲(「How to destroy Angels」 ...) を彷彿とさせるアンビエントサウンドスケープがリスナーに提示される。もちろん, そこまで虚無的ではありません。しかし, 70年のKrautの電子機器や楽器のLegendary Pink Dotsのいくつかのエコーも思い浮かびます。数少ないボーカルパートもLyciaを思い出させてくれます。ヒット曲でSIXTH JUNEを知っているだけでは「1984」 は少し聴きづらいかもしれません。 SIXTH JUNE have just released their great album ‘Stay’, and they are already releasing another record. „1984“ is not a “new” album, but it is very special in several asspects. It was created in 2021 during the pandemic and has so far only been released digitally. Musically, it stands out - like so many works created during this time - from the usual Electro-Wave/Minimal- Synth sound that SIXTH JUNE is otherwise known for. Obviously, the lockdown period inspired many musicians to create more experimental music, and this is no exception. „1984“ is gloomy, dark and experimental. The 40+ minute composition - the term ‘song’ would not do the work justice - is based on a short bass line that runs hypnotically through the entire track and is complemented by other sounds. An often slightly discordant saxophone is used, supported by dark Space-Synths and noises such as rushing water...all nearly completely instrumental. If you didn't know it was SIXTH JUNE, you wouldn't suspect the duo behind it. Instead of danceable catchy tunes, listeners are presented with ambient soundscapes that are more than occasionally reminiscent of very early Coil material („How to destroy Angels“...). Not quite as nihilistic, of course. But a few echoes of 70s Kraut electronics or instrumental Legendary Pink Dots also come to mind. The few vocal parts also bring Lycia to rememberance. If you only know SIXTH JUNE through their ‘hits’, you might find „1984“ a little difficult to listen Bandcamp 試聴 https://sixthjune.bandcamp.com/album/1984

Young And Cold Records – YCR/180 (2024) SIXTH JUNE, the Serbian duo working from Berlin for many years, has gathered a solid fan base since their first album in 2010, and even longer breaks have not stopped the fans from staying loyal. With their fifth album “Stay” (their first on Y&C), SIXTH JUNE catapult themselves another big step forward. Catchy Electro-Wave that will leave a lasting impression, also far beyond the usual scene: Wonderfully produced songs that immediately stick in your head, but fail to sound “superficial”. ‘Stay’ includes totally 8 tracks, among them the remixed and remastered versions of the singles: “Dance with me”, “Stay”, “Collapse”, “Sanjam” and “Wake up”. The basic direction of SIXTH JUNE has remained the same... their mixture of Electro-Wave, Minimal-Synth and intense 80s atmospheres is both, profound and catchy. Overall, there is an (even) more melancholic atmosphere this time, which is often strongly reminiscent of the less experimental stuff of Kirlian Camera from the 80s (“Blue Room”, “Heldenplatz”...). “Dance with Me” and “Sanjam” open the album in the usual way, with the former song also being suitable for the dancefloors of clubs, especially in the early hours of the morning when the party is slowly winding down. “Stay” combines electronic elements with light Neofolk-over- tones and puts the listener in an almost hypnotic mood. “Take Care” seems lighter and could almost be a lost Valerie-Dore B-side, as unlikely as that may sound. “Dream Again” then leads more into the second half of the 80s and is a little more solemn, while finally “Collapse” is an anthem for the sunrise on the beach, after a night of partying and will certainly become a fan favorite at concerts.

The new album also became the last ever album produced by Andreas Catjar-Danielsson (Covenant, ABU NEIN, Down in June etc.), that sadly passed away of cancer on July 29 2024. The band writes: "We are equally haunted and healed from the reverberations of our latest creation “Dark Faith”. This album emerged from a place of profound sadness. What will be unfold is as familiar as it is foreboding, confronting us with the complexities of existence. The musical layers of this album, delicately produced by our late friend and con- fidant Andreas Catjar-Danielsson, resonates with the weight of unspoken truths. His mastery, in this last production of his, will linger in our thoughts and forever echo in our hearts." Bandcamp 試聴 https://abunein.bandcamp.com/album/iii-dark-faith

Cold Transmission Music – CT 167 (2024) Kalte Nacht 待望のニュー・アルバムについて彼ら自身の言葉で語る: "U R G E"は2年近くかかって誕生しました。私たちのホームスタジオでの多くの時間を通して、考えや感情を変え, お互いから学び合う。この8つのトラックでは 私たちはこの深い, 避けられない旅の重要な内部の瞬間を要約し, 私たちの音楽言語を通して, それらが実際に私たちの手で感じられたこと, 耳で聞こえたこと, 味わったこと, 嗅いだこと, 目で見たことを表現しました。それは本当に共存し, 共創し, 再会し, 信頼し, 私たち全員に希望を近づけたいという強い願望です。それは毎日毎日の小さな意識的な行動でできていて, 愛によって育まれ 包まれています。それは私たちの影の部分に光を注ぎ, 優しさと正直さを持って人間であることの意味にアプローチする努力です。それは私たちの真実です。多くのユニークな人々が 彼ら自身の信じられないような方法で,他の人たちはそれを知らずに,それを形成するのに役立ちました。私たちは本当に彼ら全員に感謝しています。彼らなしでは不可能だったからです!」 2017年にNikosKのソロプロジェクトとして始まり, すぐにボーカルのMyrto StylouとのデュオになったKalte Nacht はダーク・ウェイヴなアーバンビートと雰囲気のあるサウンドスケープを組み合わせたプロジェクトで,心に アテネのアンダーグラウンド, 心の奥底にある感情, 人間, そして集団の交流からインスパイアされた彼らはそれぞれのダイナミックなライブパフォーマンスを通して リスナーと対話しながら影と光の狭間を歩いている。 彼らのデビュー8曲入りのセルフタイトルアルバムは 2020年3月にGeheimnis Recordsからリリースされ, 数ヶ月で完売した。ギリシャやヨーロッパの音楽会場や Wave Gotik Treffenなどのフェスティバルでライブ演奏された。2022年5月, Kalte NachtはCold Transmission Musicレーベルに参加し, 彼らのデビューアルバムをCD形式で再リリースしました。これはバンドとCold Transmissionにとって安定したセールスとなりました。2024年3月、デジタルシングル「The Last Breath」が このニューアルバム「U R G E」の一部として 息をのむようなビデオと共に公開された。 Kalte Nacht in their own words on their eagerly awaited all new album: “U R G E took almost 2 years to come to life. Through many hours in our home studios, ex- changing thoughts and feelings and learning from each other. In these 8 tracks, we summed up key internal moments of this deep, unavoidable journey, this dive within, expressing through our music language how they were actually felt to our TOUCH, HEARD with our ears, TASTED, SMELLED, and SEEN through our eyes. It’s really a strong desire to co-exist, co-create, reunite, trust, and bring hope closer to us all. It’s made of tiny bits of conscious actions each and every day, nurtured and encompassed by love. It’s an effort to spit light into our shadowy corners of being and approach with tenderness and honesty what it means to be a human. It’s our TRUTH. Many unique people helped to shape it, in their own incredible way, others without even knowing it. We truly thank them all, as it wouldn’t be possible without them!” Starting as a solo project back in 2017 from Nikos K. and very soon shaping into a duο with Myrto Stylou on vocals, Kalte Nacht is a project which combines dark wave urban beats with atmospheric soundscapes, expressed through haunting vocals, analog synths and drum machines. Inspired by the Athenian underground, innermost feelings, human, and collective exchanges, they are treding on the thin line between shadow and light, interacting with the listener, through each dynamic live performance. Their debut 8 track self-titled album was released in March 2020 by Geheimnis Records and sold out in few months. It was performed live in Greek and further European music venues and festivals such as Wave Gotik Treffen and many others. In May 2022, Kalte Nacht joined the Cold Transmission Music label and re-released their debut album in CD format, which has become a steady seller for the band and Cold Transmission. In March 2024, the digital single "The Last Breath" was revealed, together with a breathtaking video, as part of this new album "U R G E". Bandcamp 試聴 https://kaltenacht.bandcamp.com/album/u-r-g-e
