Well Elena, I guess everybody’s wondering….why did you decide to put out an album with christmassongs?Elena Alice Fossi: it’s a old dream coming true. I guess that every Christmastime to come I’ll be re-issueing such an album, perhaps including some new things, kind of work-in-progress. I wanted to do a kind of “classic”, mainly for myself, as I’m a bit bored with listening to Christmas albums

Well, hello...thirty years in the musicbiz, thirty years in the underground...and still not giving up!Where do you find the courage?Music is our first expression, but there are many other expressions coming into the concepts of ideas, texts, pictures etc. If you want to express yourself its mainly a inner need... and though we might work underground we still have people out there who are

HELLO JOHN, IT FEELS GREAT TO INTERVIEW A PIONEER AND ALEGENDARY MUSICIAN.

Can you tell us what XMH actually means?XMH is the short term for Xenomorph which is the name of the alien from that same movie. Being a sci-fi fan I was fascinated by that name but having a look on the net we soon found out that there are already bands around who had the same idea.I decided to take the first and last letter and the one in the middle and that’s the sole explanation XMH has….You

Dear Greg, what does industrial music mean to you?Hello! Industrial music stands for creative freedom and lack of musical borders. It allows me to express myself freely, to decide what is right and what is wrong for me from A to Z, be it musicwise, productionwise etc..Everything seems to go away but industrial music seems to be standing for decades, how come?Good question. I guess what you mean

Hello, first of all thank you for wanting to do this.What’s in fact the difference between Estampie and Qntal?Estampie is an acoustic project that was originally based in the “authentic” Early Music scene. QNTAL was a crossover project between electronic somewhat “dark” music and original melodies and instruments. The music of ESTAMPIE is created in the rehearsal room, Qntal is a computer

Stin Scatzor is 20 years old, that’s a teen’s lifetime! How does it feel?I guess it’s a case of getting old but we’re still alive and kicking! It feels weird that after all Stin Scatzor is known in the genre, and not only Belgium.I am not speaking in terms of songs that are known, but as a name we are. I mean, if even the singer from KMFDM asks what Stin Scatzor means….In those 20 years people

Being 42 I think I can say that my life has been dedicated to music, sometimes it's a pain to realise and then at other moments it's a relief.When you spend all your hours in this life to music you happen to have idols and I guess I must have more than 10.000 by now but I also have some heroes.All my heroes are musicians and I think I have enough hands to count them, must be around 10 I think and

WELL, HELLO TELL US WHAT DOES MONO ELECTRONIC DENSITY MEANS…- JM: It’s a name chosen by Valie (Bernard’s girlfriend) which is very significant to us because it contains physical reference (chaotic concepts) and also a simple reference to “electronic” because it’s our passion. So it’s like a flag to say our aims: a passion with technology, electronics, physics…- B: Everything has been said by JM.

I know it’s difficult, Vince, but try to describe your music….I would say my music is a kind of combination of old school Dark Electro/Industrial with EBM and with new sounds and percussive elements. It's hard for me to describe my own work in depth. There has been several influential bands in my life like Depeche Mode, Front242, Front Line Assembly and Skinny Puppy to name a few. This can help

Already more than ten years is Eric Shans composing electronic music under the name of Phenotract.What once started as a more industrial act has been developed into something more new wave-like, and this evolution can be perfectly heard on Eric’s latest baby “Shifting”.Everything on here has been done by Eric himself and you could say that his work is like the one from a modern troubadour if

Fans had to wait more than 5 years to the newest offering from this Canadian duo, but they finally found some shelter under the Dependent-umbrella and with "Aftermath" Marco and Yone are bringing you their 8th studio-album.Anyone who was familiar with this band will know that this is the sort of EBM-band in where there's place for melancholic synths (they even covered a song by The Frozen Autumn)

One of the strangest albums we got here at The Original Sin office is the latest offering by das Praparat. This duo exists from Dr. Hyde and Nachtschwester K and for anyone who’s familiar in the synthpoprange will immediately recognize that this is a side-project from Welle:Erdball.The music from Welle:Erdball always was just a happy thing but this album here has only one subject : child abuse

On the sleeve you can notice some sort of female who is amusing herself with a human skull and seeing that this cd is entitled “Necrolust” you can guess it’s not the type of music for the pussies among us, more something for the sickminded among us….Not that Mordacious is new in the harsh EBM/Hellelectro-scene as before this release, our American friend released two cd’s “This emptiness” and “

Since decades Damaged Goods is the label I could give my trust to if it comes to melodic punk I fall for...Period Pains, Anorak Girl, Bette Davis & The Balconettes...the list is just endless (or maybe I just could say 90% of their catalogue is a yummy one!).And yummy are Betty and The Werewolves too.

When writing this blog I must admit that sometimes I have the time of my life, but sometimes it all feel hopeless too.For years I write about the tiniest bands ever but there are moments that I’m aware that so called beloved “big bands” are obscure as well.On this evening for instance, I wanna share some thoughts about Felt. This duo are in my opinion a well respected band but if you walk on the

In a recent interview we done with Mr James Nice from LTM he let us know that one of the most got played bands in his carstereo happens to be School Of Seven Bells and such a reference is good enough for us to give it a go.This band got formed by twin sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza (is this the newest trend in pop?) and according to these New Yorkers they make a sort of shoegazing/

From the moment The Clash and Sex Pistols hit the streets I guess that every town had its local punks.Some of these release were like ultra-limited 7”inches, not even mentioning all those tapes.Just to point out that it’s not easy for a punkfanatic to find all these releases, but luckily enough for the musiclover there are labels around who are taking care of those mighty releases just like

Some people discover heavy metalalbums in their teens, I guess I’m one of those who will discover Saxon when he’s 70 I guess (to avoid reactions, just wrote it down as it sounds nicer as “Denim and Leather” was one of the first albums I actually bought).Might have something to do with the recent death of Ronnie James Dio who knows but “Heaven And Hell” is one of the darkest hardrockalbums I know,

When you’re a dedicated Mission-fan like I am, it’s damn difficult to put any perspectives in the release of this album as one part of the brain says that it is a sign that once The Mish will come together, but the other part says that it’s just some lame excuse from the label to gather the last milkdrops of a dead cow.The Mission were since 1986 one of the best bands ever on this bloody planet,

It's not always that easy to understand the world of Laibach, certainly not when I was a teen.When I was 15 or so MTV still mattered and in programmes like "Alternative Nation" we were shown videos from bands like Laibach (imagine that now!!!!, and think about the "progress" our telly made).Those Slovenian guys were dressed up like nazis (later I found out it was a satire which they call Neue

I can’t think of that many bands who are sounding very close to Kraftwerk without being a failure. I guess Komputer and Dust Of Basement might be an exception, and from now on, you can add Munich Syndrome to that list as well.Munich Syndrome is very clear about it that Kraftwerk is the inspiration (on the cover you can notice those typical robots behind a synthesizer that were used by some lads

Picked this one up at a local fleamarket as the women on the sleeve were gothic dressed and you never know that some unopened gem might turn out intosomething like Siouxsie & The Banshees.They're a bit goth but this all female band formed in 1981 are playing a sort of batcavething with 80's synths, I mean if you can ever imagine how Christian Death would sound if they cover an album by The

I obviously hate it when recordcompanies are going wild about their latest signings as it's the most useless thing there is, I mean you never except them coming up with knocking something down which they just released but with Dominant Legs it's different.With such a band's name you can figure out at what sort of sites we were wandering around but in the world of music Dominant Legs is the alter

Dear Justin, when you started in 1979, would you ever have thought then that you’ll be doing this for 30 years?I was always fairly committed to the project so I think I would have been pleased if I knew I would spend my life working on it. When you start out you have quite high expectations and longevity is quite a satisfying result, even if you do think back and realise that nothing has ever

HELLO JAMES, I GUESS LTM CAN ONLY BE THE WORK OF SOME PASSIONATE MUSIC LOVERActually now I see myself more as a historian or archivist. Less keen on theword curator though. But it's true that music from 1978 through to the mid1980s is a particular interest of mine. I was born in 1966, so in 1980 I wasjust getting seriously interested in music, and was introduced to groupslike Joy Division and

Prospective might be new fort he electrogothscene but with the album „Perfect Evolution Of Humanity“, they definitely deserve their place on that planet…Time for a chat!!!!HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE MUSIC FROM PROSPECTIVE?Well, in my opinion, Prospective is a symbiosis of emotional Dark-Electro and a cynical way of humour - a mixture that is not easy to be described.

Not so long ago we featured this Edinburgh-based band in our "Unknown Pleasures"-section, then there was an interview and now there's the new EP.Are we groupies then?Well, if they were nice looking girls I guess it was debatable but as it's only a bunch of Scottish boys I guess we do it for the music.Nah, serious this new EP just reminds us of the fact that this is a band with lots of

I know that dedicated fans will kill me for including this genius band into this section but I guess they must be the first to admit (even if it is with regret) that there are only a handful of people in the world who know this band.You have to switch back to the mid 80's, early 90's in France as there was a movement named "touching pop".Never liked the description that much but then again there

Totally agree that it is a very morbid title as a section but then again, just imagine that a second comes when you drop dead and you still haven't got time left for hearing a cd that can change your world.I admit again that if you hear an album during the last hour of your life that it can't change your life but then again...Look, we're not going to do biographies as therefore you got people who

Americans and dreampop, there's something that links them I guess but this duo do it a bit different I guess.For a Belgian musiczine (www.musiczine.net) I described them as if Cocteau Twins would have been fronted by Harriet Wheeler and look, Jennifer does even agree on this!Here's the interview I did with Jennifer (the Dutch version will soon appear on above cited site)HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the most cited authors among goths must be Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft.H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) wrote in his short life a long list of horrorstories that got their inspiration from his own nightmares.Like it’s the case with every cultural icon we have to take it with the needed dose of salt but also an inspiration for another great black album as this “

Kind of found new inspiration for The Original Sin with some new items (I kid you not, you have to thank Stephanie de Monaco for that, I'll send the kisses though).So in this section I wanna introduce you to some stuff most of you have never heard of.Vice Versa were a band in the 70's that came from Sheffield and anyone who cites that town knows that it will be something industriallike cuz after

In the category "I wanna loose all my credibility" I choose for this one from Cyndi Lauper which is a rather strange choice if you ask me.When I was a young kid (ages ago) I used to hated that American chick with her orange hair, it made me turn off my TV.What do you want?

In case you wanna know more about this band, we have to dissapoint you as there's nothing known from this project.Not enough research done? Nah, but the founder of this band (Mike Sniper) is the kind of guy who wants to do everything in silence and even on stage you can observe him while his face is masked with some towel (makes you think of that Cabaret Voltaire sleeve "Micro-Phonies".And the

Reviewing some band from which you know nothing isn’t always that easy but then again the question rises what can be said about some band that just launches its first EP.We can start talking about telling you which university they went to or in which garage they recorded their EP but that’s all irrelevant stuff that leaves you cold as you’re only interested in one thing : how do they sound like?

Bluesanct is an American DIY-label which is specialized in what can be labelled as experimental music with a dark undertone and I guess Cindytalk (once associated with 4-AD) might be the best known act on the label.Orphanology is a sublabel from Bluesanct and one of their latest offerings brings us straight to the best town in the world (Gent, no doubt) where we find Circle Bros, the one man band

Some bands are only known by a handful of people but you can be sure that this little amount of fans are totally wild about ‘em. Every musicfan can come up with such bands and For Against are such a band as well.I mean, I know nobody who is aware of For Against and isn’t in love with them.This band from Nebraska already started their post-punkadventure in 1984 which was a nice mixture of the

Blame it on Obama, blame it on whoever might be responsible for it (maybe even no one) but I like my music in 2010, but my music seems to come from America.Chelsea Wolfe for instance. Who is she?

LET ME ASK IT FROM THE BEGINNING….WHY DOES A BAND HAVE SUCH A GENIUS SOUND ON THEIR DEBUT?Thank you so much for the compliment! We gave our best during the production of 'FROM THE ASHES' and with Andy Horn as our producer we had a great support to make that record sound as good as possible. We are really satisfied with the result and believe that it turned out that good because we spent so much

Hello dear Christophe, first of all thanks for doing this.Do you think The Names had an unique sound?Actually, we did not spend so much time thinking about our sound. We had a very good idea about the band format we wanted to have, however: a new wave band (the term postpunk hadn’t been invented yet) with guitars and keyboards, like Howard Devoto’s Magazine. Yet, in order to think seriously about

Our music is kind of electro, with elements of dark electro, ebm, industrial, techno and more. It has these crazy horror-style-elements and can sometimes be very violent and filthy, filled with a good dose of irony. Our

Give this excellent mini-album to 100 people and changes are quite big that you will have something like 100 different versions.They all might be positive even if such things always depend on who you’re giving it to but you’ll get something like 100 different references.I decided to give it a go and the only thing I am sure about is that they found their basic roots somewhere in the 80’s and that

What is with Vikings and music?Some of our readers will come up with Vikingmetal, while others will mention Trike but this band has absolutely nothing in common with that type of music, mind you!Their story is just a bit like the one you see at those dreadful MTV-rockumentaries.One day two Canadians (Xania Keane and Stephen Paul Taylor) decided to do an European tour but as they were a bit

A few weeks ago I was thrilled by the newest single “Neutral Eyes” by the duo Neutral Lies and somewhere I got the feeling that this would be the foretaste of something quite beautiful….and look right now in front of my eyes : “A Deceptive Calm”.This duo is formed by the likes of Jean-François Dean and Nicolas Delbarre, two people who knew immediately that they were musically on the same

This is the way I feel today, probably the way I feel this year...By the way the man on the floor is Mark Burgess, singer from The Chameleons.If all goes well, and I know it will, then me and some friends will be in Holland next weekend to see them again.After having seen Charlotte Gainsbourg, after having rediscovered Stephanie (ha), what more can a man want?

Anyone who says Sweden, says pop (even if some might come up with metal though) but only a handful of people will come up with American sadcore.Of course that is if they are unfamiliar with Holmes .This five-piece band from Varnersborg aren’t that much of newcomers but this second cd (as this is the following up from “Wolves”) has set its target on European playground.If you’re having in mind

Am I f***’ mad? I guess I am but I wanna be f*** honest too so I decided to f*** up all my credibility (if I should ever have one) and start a new section about “albums that kill me but which are considered to be crap”.Let’s kick off with “Besoin” by Stephanie.Mind you, I am sure she could never sing and that this great princess was just in the right company of some producers who might have

If the name of Annuals sounds any familiar to you it might be cuz some years ago they used to be signed on some major but as these times the companies just except everything (not satisfied with just something), they returned to their roots and so it happened that mastermind Adam Baker chooses not only for a small label (Banter) but he also produced it himself.“Sweet Sister” is a fivetrack EP

Are there still people on this planet who have never heard about The National?Whether you want it or not, their “Boxer”-album from 2007 has been declared more than one as the albums of the decennium.Even Obama used one of their songs in his election campaign and over here in Belgium their forthcoming concert in Belgium was sold out in less than a day.With all these graceful words it’d be quite

Even if I never hated Nirvana, I never liked it when bands got compared to them.I guess it has something to do with the fact that I heard too many clones who responsible for making the 90’s one of the worst decades in music.For reasons I never got to understand this trio from London are compared with them anyway…Okay, they’re a trio, they have a raw energy (Nirvana were sounding energetic on “

WHY NAME YOURSELF AFTER THAT ALBUM BY THE FALL?I sent an email out in sheer frustration with a full list of The Fall's discography, and Fra (the drummer) sort of casually dropped into a conversation that he liked "Perverted by Language". Fra is very convincing.I SUPPOSE PERVERTED BY LANGUAGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MUSICAL OUTLET FROM JEREMY THOMAS.Feh! Not at all. I mean yes, it's me looking for a

Luc Van Acker is without any doubt the only true chameleon of the Belgian musicscene. From Dutch wavepopband Arbeid Adelt to his solostuff to the industrial act Revolting Cocks (now reanimated into RevCoWorld) Luc always not only stayed true to himself but he put a stamp as no one else.We were very pleased to have a chat with this legend.HELLO LUC, YOUR FIRST RELEASE WAS A DIY-RELEASE.HOW LOGIC

Garden Of Delight is dead, long live Merciful Nuns!That can be this album in a nutshell as this is the new band from Arthaud Seth, leader of the quite known gothic rockband Garden Of Delight.Especially in the later stage, Garden Of Delight became heavier and heavier till Chaos God made a schizophrenic band out of them (musicwise).But this is a new start, with a new band and a new album and it

Dperd are a darkwaveband from Italy who just have released their fine album on My Kingdom.If you wanna know how Kirlian Camera versus The Cure (or something like that), I guess Dperd can be an answer...or perhaps they can be as the essence is what the band tries to capture in this interview : it's about music, emotions...not about machines.LET’S START WITH A CLICHE : WHAT DOES THE WORD DPERD

Music is like love I suppose, I mean the best things come unexpected and so it happened that I got a mail from this Wakefield-based band asking me if I would give their band a chance.I did it a thousand times, so why not a band who's named after some song by Kate Bush?Well mind you, I might like Kate but this is something totally different.Still can't decide if I will categorize it as lo-fi
