    |||ENG|||

    The Wyrm brings this post-pandemic year 2022 its latest work entitled Muertos. Dark, cold and minimalist tints very much in the vein of bands like Cabaret Nocturne or Boy Harsher to stand out from a scene that died in the pandemic. Muertos is a song to the dead who have not been. Those that we have seen only on television and that are just figures. Virtual and nameless. So are the songs of this new work. without titles and direct from the sewers.

    The Wyrm apporte cette année post-pandémique 2022 son dernier ouvrage intitulé Muertos. Des teintes sombres, froides et minimalistes très dans la veine de groupes comme Cabaret Nocturne ou Boy Harsher pour se démarquer d’une scène morte dans la pandémie. Muertos est une chanson aux morts qui n’ont pas été. Celles que nous n’avons vues qu’à la télévision et qui ne sont que des chiffres. Virtuel et sans nom. Ainsi sont les chansons de ce nouveau travail. sans titres et direct des égouts

    The truth in dark corners – Chain DLK review

    «The Truth In Dark Corners» is a recording of live tracks coming from the band’s 1985 Holland tour plus a closing track coming from a London gig.
    Back then Attrition were releasing their second album «Smiling, At The Hypogonder Club» on Third Mind and this release contains many tracks coming from that one plus «Shrinkwrap» (which was a single) and two unreleased tracks «In The Attic» and «The Aftermath».
    Formed on those days by Martin Bowes, Marianne Teunissen and Alex Novak, the band was creating their distinctive darkwave electronic sound which was capable to mix danceable rhythms and electronic experimental attitude.
    «The Truth In Dark Corners» contains good recordings of classic Attrition’s tracks (or at least they are what I consider their classics) like «Mind Drop» or «Pendulum Turns» and here you can listen them sounding direct and powerful.
    These recordings represent quite well the essence of the band on those days so I don’t consider this album only a release for hard core fans. And sleeve notes you’ll find by Justin Mitchell back then. I’m quite sure that if you a long time reader of our magazine you know this guy, because when he knew Attrition he was an electronic music enthusiast who became their friend but soon after he founded Cold Spring Records.

    Tiramist – For Your Ears Only


    Tiramist – For Your Ears Only
    Label: Wave Records – W052
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Brazil
    Released: 15 Feb 2016
    Style: New Wave, Medieval, Darkwave

    TIRAMIST was formed in 2012 by musicians of amongst others HIDE&SEEK and OPERA MULTI STEEL. Their music can be situated at the edge of different styles gathering the four protagonists of this project: Pop, Cold-Wave, Ambient, Heavenly, Electro… The compositions of TIRAMIST give a central place to female vocals. The atmospheres change from one song to another and follow the main thread of electro-organic arrangements and touching melodies. The surrealistic tinged English texts propose various readings and invite to an immobile and imaginary journey in the land of dreams and nightmares.
