DAMASCUS KNIVES |

AL1CEAL1CE blends elements of electronic, dark wave, and progressive rock (think Daft Punk, the Cure, and Pink Floyd), with surrealistic and fantastic imagery, to create a dreamy, intimate, dark yet cathartic experience for fans. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland’s concept of embarking on a journey “through the looking glass”, AL1CE’s music explores universal themes of the sacred feminine and masculine, yin and yang, challenges and transcendence... the Unity of Opposites.

HEXHEARTHexheart is the solo project of Jasyn Bangert.
"A fusion of influences, past and present with whatever else creeps into my head at the time." The first Hexheart record "Midnight on a Moonless Night" was released in 2017 on Metropolis Records. The idea was created to give Jasyn Bangert someplace to focus on music that didn't fit the mold he has created over the past years with his Dark Industrial project God Module. Hexheart embarked on a 35 date North American tour in support of the release. Bookended by 2 major festival appearances: In Portland Oregon at The Out of the Shadows festival and making its European debut at Wave Gothic Treffen 2018 in Leipzig Germany. The second record from Hexheart is titled "Funeral Flowers" and will be released in 2022. Turn off the lights, dance in the dark and find the melody in the melancholy with Hexheart. |
C/A/TC/A/T is the main creative output for electronic music producer and DJ, Ben Arp. After a six year hiatus in the early 2010s, C/A/T returned with a vengeance releasing two albums on the Crunch Pod label in 2019. The new recordings were a blend of Arp's rhythmic noise past and industrial techno with some dark electro leanings. Arp kept active the past few years releasing more EPs with Crunch Pod, doing several live stream performances, and launching a Twitch DJ channel as DJ Cat With Slashes. 2022 marks the 25th anniversary of C/A/T and to celebrate the band will be playing select dates across the United States and releasing a series of singles and EPs throughout year

MANUFACTURAInfluential, controversial, admired and despised. Genre twisting, intense, in your face, violent, maniacal, twisted.....the list goes on. Throw these pieces together and you are presented with Manufactura. The gripping Powernoise/Industrial/EBM/experimental/electronic/IDM/Ambient project from the mind of Karloz M, one of the most controversial figures in the modern rhythmic noise scene. For going more than 20 years now, Manufactura has been behind some of the most creative, genre-pushing explorations of power noise, ranging from the straightforward club-killers, to gritty and atmospheric moods, to lyrically-driven EBM crossovers. His music will take you through loud and angry, crunchy and hard hitting rhythms
