GORDON'S TSUNAMI WEEK - We see the reflection of ourselves in the frames we look at [2011]

Founded in 2001 by Sebastian Ziegler and Tobias Engler as an instrumental project, gordon’s tsunami week tries to unify soulful melodies and brute walls of sound. Influenced by bands like mono, explosions in the sky, envy, mogwai, 65daysofstatic, sigur rós, russian circles, deftones, dredg and aereogramme, we’re trying to catch atmosphere and express it experimentally. Different instruments (among others: violin, lap steel guitar and spherical samples) are assisting to set courses and to achieve a dreamy, gloomily character. Additional members of gordon’s tsunami week are: Jörg Schmaus(drums), Christian Bachmann(violin), Nepomuk Zettl(guitar), Florian Popp(bass). In the withering year of 2006 our first EP called "a place for nowhere" was recorded, produced by Mario Dahmen (liquid aether). The second EP "dropped by branches" was recorded in summer 2007.

HYPNO5E - Acid mist tomorrow [2012]

Rythmiques furibondes, riffs acrobatiques, distorsions gargantuesques, notes déliées dans le lointain, piano exsangue, bribes de voix céleste et taciturne ou hurlements abyssaux : HYPNO5E utilise la base du métal en y ajoutant de manière singulière et judicieuse de longues phases psychédéliques et instrumentales. 
 Ayant déjà partagé la scène de GOJIRA, PSYKUP, BLACK BOMB A, WATCHA, DAGOBA, ETHS, L'ESPRIT DU CLAN, THE OCEAN... HYPNO5E a su assimiler les fondements du métal pour proposer une musique en perpétuelle mutation. 
 Créé en 2003, le groupe sort un album en distribution nationale en 2007, et planche actuellement sur deux nouveaux projets, à savoir un opus à tendance acoustique en attendant la sortie prochaine du successeur de "Des deux l'une est l'autre".

MORAY - Empire of light [2012]

Empire Light was formed in April 2011 and have been creating their own material from day one. The band was formed through a friendship of two, who decided to get together to practice. It turned out one knew a drummer and the other a bassist, and so Empire Light was formed. During practices, influences were discussed and it was found that there were many different influences throughout the group, including indie, old school Hip-Hop, jazz, blues, and rock. Taking these inspirations, Empire Light has set out to create the music in which they feel passionate about. Full of pleasant sounding melodies and some catchy choruses, Empire Light was formed for the music.

VIA KALEIDOSCOPE - Demos [2011]

Guitarist/Songwriter Hayden Wrathall teamed up with friend and guitarist Jesse Youngson for some instrumental jams around 2009, under the name A Greylit Sky. In late 2009, drummer Adrian Lang and guitarist turned bassist Che Walden joined the fray for a more complete line up, which would soon be renamed Via Kaleidoscope. Although all demos so far have been written and recorded by Hayden Wrathall himself, the band have spent the majoirity of 2010/2011 perfecting their live sound. The many earthquakes centred in and around Christchurch in this time have played havoc with preparations for VK to gig, however they still have plans of playing some local shows in the near future.

SUNPOCRISY - Samaroid dioramas [2012]

The project was born in 2007 as a four pieces death/progressive band. After an year, in 2008 they went in studio to record their first EP called "Atman EP", which was self produced and published in limited edition of a hundred, a unique and different artwork for every copy, containing 4 tracks for a total lenght of 37'14'' of music. After the release, in 2009 the quartet started the live activity to support the EP, playing gigs with band like The Ocean, Ahab, In Mourning, Black Sun Aeon and more. In 2010 the band placed 4th to the most important unsigned band contest "Wacken Metal Battle" , and after that they started to create a more complex and different kind of music, becoming a six-pieces Post/Progressive beast. In late 2011, the band entered the studio to record the debut album, a concept called "Samaroid Dioramas", engineered at Studio 73 by Riccardo Pasini.

SKY FLYING BY - Discography [2011]

"SFB is a solo music project started many years ago, and only just recently started releasing material for consumption outside of a small core group of friends. the music is all instrumental, noisy, weird, quiet, simple, melodic, whatever.
This whole thing was started years and years ago, but got serious in an attempt to fight major depressive disorder. so far its working. this music is recorded and released to make it more real, and to provide a series of goals and objectives for me. keeps my head above water."

CARTHASY - Apertures (EP) [2011]

Some bands try very hard to please you. Carthasy are not one of those bands. They have emerged from the depths of the studio with acclaimed producers Matt Gio and Forrester Savell, bearing an EP that is dense, rich, and ambitious. Carthasy’s experimental hard rock doesn’t subscribe to any formula: schizophrenic two-minute assaults hold an uncomfortable truce with atmospheric seven-minute slow-burners. Chunks of sludge metal, slivers of post-rock and wedges of prog get thrown together at dizzying speed. The common thread through it all is a sense of restraint, a love of melody, and a total lack of ego. Carthasy owe influence to Deftones, Isis, Karnivool, Tool and Oceansize, but owe allegiance to no scene or target market. Have a listen with an open mind. You might have to make an effort, but you know the rewards will be worth it.
