Franco-belgian squad Necrodancer doesn't waste time with warning shots and directly introduce themselves to the world with "Void", their debut album. Formed in 2016 between Paris and Liège by members hailing from various corners of the heavy music realm (Verdun, Daggers, Death Mercedes, Radio Maquis…) the band establishes with "Void" an already personal, hard-to pin sound. Drawing as much from swampy noise rock as from the punkier edge of later-era Darkthrone, these self-proclaimed funeral grungers are as comfortable with surprisingly catchy melodic hooks as with remorseless crust assaults. Recorded and mixed by Amaury Sauvé (Birds In Row, Plebeian Grandstand, Death Engine) then mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Okkultokrati, Nails, Full Of Hell) for maximum damages, Necrodancer's firepower will be hard to ignore.

“The river that everything drags is known as violent, but nobody calls violent the margins that arrest her.”

This quote from Bertolt Brecht is the best way to portray "Fleuve", the devastating new album of belgian outfit Thot. After a decade of challenging its music across several albums, EPs, videos, alternative versions, remixes and european tours, the gang lead by Grégoire Fray is going to bring a breath of fresh air in the industrial-rock and post-rock genres. Produced by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna) and engineered in live circumstances, "Fleuve" features 9 songs built around a powerful drums/bass/guitar trio, on which passionate vocals, heavy synths, clarinet laments and bulgarian choirs melt together perfectly. Thereby, "Fleuve" is a luminous ode to the european continent and its cultural history, to nature’s immuable inspiration, to women and transcendance.

The OO-Ray is the alias of Ted Laderas, an improvisatory and experimental cellist from Portland, OR. A systems biologist by day, he extends his experimental attitude to exploring the outer possibilities of the cello, often distorting, looping, or pitchshifting his instrument beyond recognizability into waves of reverberation and extended drones. Inspired by the gauzy textures of My Bloody Valentine, he call his style “shoegazer cello” or “chamber drone”. His music explores the realms of electroacoustic, shoegazer, and ambient.

The Inquisition: 046.Le Seul Elément

1. How did you came up with the name of the band? 

I really don't remember it and I don't like this name. One day, I will change it. 

2. Do you have a standard procedure of creating a song? Do you just jam around or is there a main riff and the track is build up on it? 

Yes, I try to find the first "good riff" and the rest of the song is building naturally on it. Or , my computer is full of "pieces of songs" and sometimes, I listen to them, and choose one that matches my mood. 

3. What are your influences and what kind of music do you hear when you are at home? 

I don't have any direct influences I think. I try to mix classical ones (like Philip glass, William Sheller or recently Lubomyr Melnyk) with dirtiest ones (some sludge, punk bands). At home it's pretty quiet, for Aurelia (my girlfriend) and generally because I have to be concentrated. I keep all crust, noise HxC music for the Van ! 

4. Which is the one album you can't live without? 

En Attendant L'apocalypse by Paris Violence. (French Oi!/Wave band). 

5. What's the first record you've ever bought? 

When I was 10, a friend of my father sold some stolen CD's , and I remember I was digging through the boxes and found by accident " NAS / It Was Written ". And it accompanied me for a long time. 

6. Name a band that you would like to share the stage or tour with? 

It's difficult to say… I like Anna Von Hausswolff. I think it could be a good "mix". 

7. Did the internet and specially the blogs helped to spread your music around the world? Name a place (country) that you were surprised to know your music has reached to? 

I don't know who has listened to it. 

8. Do you support the idea of bandcamp where fans can decide the price or services like Spotify? 

Yes sure, I don't have a Spotify account and Le Seul Elément is not in it. I prefer Bandcamp and that everybody can pay what they want. 

9. Where do you see yourselves in 5 years? 

Playing my last gig as drummer of Neurosis. 

10. Is the artwork of an album important nowadays in the digital era? 

Yes! This is the basis of universe that you try to create, it's the most direct message of your artistic approach. If you play ambient music, and if the cover of your album is a black'n'white forest, it's almost normal (and almost boring…), but if you want to put dirty socks in a fridge on it. All your album will change… 

11. What is you favorite album cover? 

Many are… Recently I liked "Floating Coffin" by Thee Oh Sees 

and "New History Warfare, Vol 2 : Judges" by Colin Stetson 

and "Le Cimetière Des Harlequins" by Ange (french old progressive rock)

and the material on the cover of "2.0" by Garbage.

12. It seems that a lot of people are turning on vinyl again. Why do you think that is and which is your preferable media format? 

Old formats are coming back since a few years,it's fashion and it's very good. Especially at this time of dematerialization. People have to spend more time by album, I say that but I'm all the day on YouTube. Internet is useful to discovering bands, but the next normal step is to buy a material format. 

13. What's the most vivid story or moment as a band? 

Hum…Playing a piano/ambient song with all your soul on stage, but still a drunk guy screams: "ROOOOOTS BLOOOODY ROOOOOOTS".

Check Le Seul Elément's recently released "Meradiam". It will haunt you!

Le Seul Elément is a solo project of a French musician. He does not want to be named by his real name, which has everything to do with the way he sees this artistic project: there is an air of danger coming from this music, that seems to come from a ghost or some other force out of this world, as an abstract shadow-play translated to music. Silence and absence plays as much a part in this music as does sound. Le Seul Elément played Dunk! Festival a few years back and now releases a full album on Consouling Sounds (CD) and Wolves And Vibrancy Records & Prügelprinz Records (Vinyl).

Meradiam is  Le Seul Elément's first full album and it's a combination of dark ambient, post-rock and noise. Add experimentation, electronically infused haunting vocals and piano creepiness and you have a beautifully delivered album. Meradiam is balancing between anxiety and hope, darkness and light, elevating listener's heart rate and then offering a glimpse of hope. Are you ready to be frightened and like it?

Scientist is an experimental noise metal act from Chicago, Illinois formed in 2011. Scientist exists from the "ashes" of such groups as Profound Lore artist YAKUZA, (still active), FIREISBORN and RAISED ON ZENITH featuring Eric Plonka (guitar/vox), Justin Cape (drums) and Patrick Auclair (bass). With a wide range of influences, Scientist's goal to compose music that challenge them artistically while remaining accessible to their audience has been an interesting journey.

You will find some unconventional "metal" instrumentation on Scientist's first effort like, saxaphones, piano and lap steel guitars and they make it work. 

Starting originally as a two piece band by Plonka and Cape (and having actual results) and having played many, many shows for over a year, they then decided to add Auclaire for that missing "something". 

Refreshed and looking forward, and having just recorded with Sanford Parker (Buried at Sea, Nachtmystium, Corrections House) featuring guest appearances by Stavros Giannopoulos from Atlas Moth, Bruce Lamont from Yakuza, Jeff Lyman from Dead Sheriff and Sanford Parker.
