Spain's Gradual Hate was originally created
as a solo outlet for Miguel LS, who had already
explored experimental and neo-classical music in such projects
as The Lietech Project and Woman's Broken Hands, to take on
the dark electronic scene. Inspired less by the synthpop crossover
acts of the current scene than by old-school European artists
like Leæther Strip and The Invincible Spirit, the project
really started to take off when Miguel was joined by keyboardist
and multimedia artist Avencio DM, who helped
to focus Gradual Hate's politically-charged themes with gritty
industrial imagery and a manifesto of purpose. Signing to Hypervoxx
Recordings, the group released their debut album in late 2007;
entitled Asphyxiated World, it combines crunchy guitar riffs
with hard but catchy electronics and raspy vocals to deliver
what LS and DM describe as a warning call to a sedated citizenry.
Pure Electro Dark
Was founded by Miguel LS (Gradual Hate), next
to Avencio DM in 2008. The band was his opportunity to step
away from his other genre and experiment with a different.
Opus Nigrum, offers a magical sound experience characterized
by impressive compositions. Atmospheric, enigmatic Dark Wave
melodies embedded in bombastic choirs and orchestral arrangements
are transformed into impressive works of art.
Ritual Neoclassic Dark Wave Music
Kazeria [KZ] begun its activities
on 2008. It is led by only member [S], who
created several other projects since 1995 always working on
dark, industrial, folk, martial, noise, neoclassical and electro
styles. [KZ] delivers an intense both sonic
and philosophical experience. Sometimes defined as "evocative
music" about periods of great wars, arcane empires, pre
and non-christian ideals, paganism and occultism, [KZ]
deals with the meaning of eternity, glory, decadence and sacred
symbols of past ages. Coming up today, [KZ]
spouts out a harsh definition of reality, through active nihilism,
beyond ideological differences and rejecting modernity in all
its forms.
:Igniis: experimental musical
project that was born in the late 90's with the name Lilith
`s Son
Over the years, took a more acoustic-electronica, probing the
sites of Folk, Neo-folk, dark-folk or as they
like to call it.
Thus, the Son of Lilith, decides to blow himself, and to be
renamed Igniis (fire, in Latin).
Alejandro G, Fernando
Suárez, Manuel Platino, Silence
in First Degree is a group born in late 2006 with the objective
of approaching music from a experimental point of view, without
focusing too much on music styles, although drawing from those
who have broken new ground during late twentieth century (mainly
electronics, noise, ambient,industrial and drone). We are constantly
inspired by bands like Throbbing Gristle, Whitehouse, Einstürzende
Neubauten, Khanate, Earth and Boris among others, and approach
our projects from an unconventional point view, endorsing the
use of musical instruments in unconventional ways. From tape
manipulation to home-made electronics, including the use of
both electronic and acoustic feedback and software programming
in the pursuit of image processing for subsequent transformation
into sound (and vice versa).
