Various – HONORIS III (Tribute To Bauhaus) Label: Unknown Pleasures Records – UPRGOLD022 Format: CD, Limited Edition Country: France Released: 14 May 2022 Style: Goth Rock
After paying tribute to the musical work of Death In June and then to that of The Sisters Of Mercy, the third part of our HONORIS Tribute series is this time dedicated to the legendary British band BAUHAUS! Pioneers of post-punk and the goth-wave despite themselves. Haunted by the tutelary shadow of David Bowie and Brian Eno, truly post-punk with a touch of glam, lovers of German expressionism and European symbolism, the sound of Bauhaus knew how to combine dub basses, and acid guitars, sepulchral voices and hypnotic rhythms. Here is the first excerpt from our compilation planned in CD, vinyl, tape and book format on May 21, 2022

Unlike “Outlining States of Mind”, that brought more lyric and sentimental lines, in this new album we explore another side of Scarlet Leaves. “Deep Sad Frustration” still keeps the idea of bringing songs and lyrics with abstract and elaborated contents. On this album, the instrumental brings more orchestrated lines and highlights the violas, cellos and violins.
Some percussions are more intense. The guitars are still wandering according to every sound and the synths and other programming are more profound and present than the first album. The voice is still soft but not so lyrical. We brought a more mature and secure voice for this material, showing a musical development.
In some songs we bring real facts of life, such as in “The Misfortune” involving a limited human being, unable to live in their own freedom. In “Luxuriae”, we try to be poetic in relation to one of the seven deadly sins, Lust. “Alma” once was called “Believe”, because this song talks about believing, going crazy and imagination.
On the other hand, “Dust and Silence” travels in hope and confusion, reflected in tears through pain.
The idea behind “Godforsaken” was bringing a story through the eyes of an angel abandoned by God.
In “Persephone Garden” we fled a bit from the idea of the other songs to tell our version of the story of Persephone and Hades, characters in Greek mythology. And finally “Misth” is mysterious as always. It’s up to the listeners to interpret what it means to them.
ircuncelion Heartland (the Pastime Sessions). A cover of the Sisters Of Mercy song “Heartland” played and recorded as pastime by Igor Mesmer for Circuncelion in a moment of creative drought.

Monomania, a term from the psychiatric nosology of the early 19th Century, was once (2003) thetemplate for naming the Hamburger Rock-Band MONO INC. and means as much as delusional individual, in contrast to the complete madness. – 10 years later, MONO INC. open another chapterof their creativity! Mean? Joachim Witt (a New German Wave legend of the 80ies) and MONO INC.
mastermind Martin Engler became close friends since Witt’s latest album and since then they celebrate the “Club of living Poets” every week. Joachim benefits from the fact that Martin is an excellent cook – Witt can do nothing on the stove, but he delights in fine dining.
During the meetings of the “Club of living Poets” abstruse ideas emerged. One of them was to make a common track (not surprising at first sight), but as the question arose of who should sing which language, they did not come to each other at first. But then as Witt texted an English verse and Martin did a German chorus – the convolutions of the two were really active and their love for music has connected the two poles! The result is a song in which Martin, inspired by Joachim, kept the German chorus, whereupon Joachim contributed a purely German verse. The result is titled “Kein Weg zu Weit” (No path too far) and “shall encourage people” , the MONO INC.-singer and Witt unison. Worn by this inspiration other songs in german language arose almost like in flight, what the band is very pleased with. “Standstill would be a creative dead for us, which is why we have taken this step and why we are eager to showcase the new facet to the fans.” The Hamburg Rock-Band succeeds with NIMMERMEHR the true feat of re-inventing themselves, to stay true to their sound and yet bring a new MONO INC. dimension to the market – Lyric, poetry, great melodies and immediately in the ear. One year after their Top-10-Album “After The War” MONO INC. present sovereign with new and established influences and storm with a strong first harbingers inexorably on their way to the mono-maniac world domination.
