Unterschall – US-009 (2024) SHOSTA (Bamberg, Germany) was born in a dark room during the early stages of the 2020 pandemic. Characterized by driving sequencer basslines, floating guitar sounds, synthesizer melodies, deep vocals and a touch of 80s aesthetics, SHOSTA moves somewhere between the influences of DAF and Depeche Mode. The origin of this musical journey is manifested in his debut EP "WACHSEN", which saw the light of the world in April 2021. The following May of 2022 SHOSTA revealed his first full album "HÖLLE DER VÖGEL". With Moritz Fris and Nicolas Frank, SHOSTA has now drawn two like-minded people to his side, whose musical contributions add further nuances to his artistic odyssey. After the release of the independent singles "TANZ" in August 2023 and "OXYTOCIN" in December of the same year, the three proceed cautiously. A quiet promise on a transformational musical journey for black-scene and dark pop lovers. Bandcamp 試聴 https://unterschall.bandcamp.com/album/wandel

Unterschall – US-007 (2023) In his debut EP, Davíd Wunderlich is reflecting on his teenage years in a small and conservative suburb many might be familiar with. Each one of the six tracks is a personal reckoning with the lethargy within this world, the longing for escape, the successful breakout, and ultimately the alienated return to a place characterized by social coldness, uniformity, and toxic masculinity. Nestled between synth-pop and post-punk, the EP exhibits grandeur as well as quiet, introspective moments. Drum machines with (synth-)basslines provide the energetic foundation, while minimalist guitars and eclectic samples set the mood. Davíd Wunderlich's warm and deep tenor voice, accompanied by background choirs, is narrating its stories with a tinge of melancholy and accusation.

Dystopian post-punk based in Berlin, Germany. “Swept Out To Sea” signaling FIXED LENS first appearance on vinyl. While channeling the atmosphere of their highly acclaimed debut s/t EP, “Swept Out to Sea” centers on losing oneself in anger and rage, and the BPMs and intensity of these tracks increase accordingly. The b-side “Hideous Ecstasy” is an Orwellian cautionary tale of mob mentality, groupthink, and the ways society can quickly fall into patterns of violence. To coincide with the release of the EP, the band is debuting their first music video for the title track “Swept Out to Sea.” Percussive, distorted, and chorus-laden like its predecessor, these songs mark a more aggressive demeanor and form. These songs are more political and energetic than other contemporary post-punk fare, yet they fit seamlessly with seminal classics from which they draw much inspiration, at times reminiscent of KILLING JOKE or FRUSTRATION. 
As veterans of post-punk and hardcore bands (Totenwald, Nocturnal Scum), guitarist and singer Robert Hanna and synthesist Matthias Gaese paint an impression of a bleak and not-so-distant future from the current world in which we live. The tracks on “Swept Out to Sea” provide a portal into this potential world, one which must be questioned, and ultimately reformed before it is too late.

Unterschall – US-003, Not On Label (Fixed Lens Self-released) – FIX01 (2023) Dystopian post-punk based in Berlin, Germany. FIXED LENS emerged from the smoke-filled basement rooms of Berlin’s DIY scene in 2021 with their eponymous debut EP. Cold, driving machinery beats and ethereal synths establish the foundation for melancholic, chorus-drenched post-punk guitars. Championing the spirit of guitar-driven bands such as JOY DIVISION, KILLING JOKE, CHAMELEONS UK, and THE SOUND, the group simultaneously nods to the roots of Berlin’s electronic origin story in these six tracks.

SHOSTA was born in a dark room at the beginning of the 2020 pandemic. After he began writing atmospheric metal, his journey led him to the electronic world. With the driving sequencer - bass lines, deep vocals and 80s - flair lies the now drawn Bamberger, somewhere between DAF and Boy Harsher. At the moment there is pause, creative noise and change... 'HÖLLE DER VÖGEL' ist eine Kampfansage und gleichzeitig eine Warnung. Wir als Menschen spielen mit dem Feuer und ignorieren die Möglichkeit der Verletzung. Wir schüren gegenseitigen Hass und enteignen jene Lebewesen, welche wir bewundern und von denen wir lernen. Wir spielen uns selbst zu übernatürlichen Wesen auf und bewegen uns mit großen destruktiven Schritten durch diese Welt, auf der auch wir nur Bewohner sind. 'HÖLLE DER VÖGEL' soll auf Abgründe des menschlichen Daseins mit dem Finger zeigen, sie ästhetisieren aber auch Hoffnung machen und Aufmerksamkeit erregen.
