Saemskin
Filed under Interviews
Saemskin has been a Darksonus regular for years, and through these years he has honed a skill for brooding sounds and rhythmic beat driven madness ala Ad Noiseam or Hands label artists. He had released Simile for Murder a 7 track soundscape which has ever since been gaining momentum, being reviewed by such sites as ReGen, Side-Line, Smother, and Heathen Harvest. Here it is, a year later, and I thought it would be good to get the thoughts of Saemskin on the past and future of this project.
KMFDM (WWIII era)
Filed under Interviews
Two weeks ago, I would have thought that the idea of me interviewing Sascha Konietzko of KMFDM would be a funny funny joke. Two weeks later, I have conducted the interview and here are the results.
KMFDM was the first non-mainstream band I ever heard, and as a result from the impression left on me from that first track (“Ultra” off of Nihil), I delved deeper into industrial music and assorted other avant-garde art forms, and it ultimately changed the course of my life (I know that sounds more profound than it is, but “I became a rivethead keyboard player” doesn’t sound cool). The latest album by the underground sensation has proven to be one of the best albums they have ever recorded. I was given the opportunity to interview Sascha K. a couple of weeks ago and finally did it on October 3, 2003. This is the first serious interview I have ever done, and since it was my luck for the first interview I have ever done to be with one of the figureheads of industrial culture, I was nervous as shit. Here is the interview. Some editing from the original interview has been made. Read More
C’tan Worldkiller
C’tan Worldkiller has been a regular here at DS for ages, longer than I can remember. He is always putting out new music in massive quantities – you might expect that the quality suffers – but it does not. I would say I’ve quite enjoyed these albums I have downloaded as of late. The more I listened, the more I became interested in C’tan’s music – but with all the releases, I became overwhelmed. I thought the best way to learn about C’tan’s music was to talk to the man(?) himself. In the interest of helping everyone understand C’tan’s work, this interview ends up being a sort of FAQ for all to read.
Allied Vision
At the front of the “New Breed” movement, Allied Vision have been my favourite Artist and music project for some years now. They impressed me when I heard “Demon Sect”, and since then I bought the other two albums “Unburied” and “MMBO”.
I always liked them more than others because they took the sound of EBM and made it sound more extreme and intense than any other acts around. There are other acts similair like DISMANTLED, but Allied Vision is determined to push the musical envelope. With the imminent release of “O.S. Bandwidth”, Which I have to say is already one of my favourite albums of all time, I finally got the chance to Interview my friend Oscar Storm….
Passionate, intelligent, ethereal music complete in its majestic dark beauty. Animus Mundi are a major vocal and instrumental triumph whose art is positively spellbinding.
