Santa Hates You - Rocket Heart

 

Santa Hates You is a german based musical project born in autumn 2007.
Members of the band are Peter "PS" Spilles (also known as the mastermind of Project Pitchfork) and his female comrade-in-arms, the italian Jinxy.
Their music is straight forward dark-electro, with industrial traits and extremely danceable beats on one side, and catchy sequences as well as gothic elements on the other. The band describes their sound as "juicy electronic-gothic-industrial".
Santa Hates You is a subversive musical project, and this is reflected in the lyrics and in the image of the band. While being ironic and witty, neither the band's image nor the lyrics end up being superficial: there's always a considerable portion of depth, rebellion and shrewdness hidden behind the humorous facade.

Feed them on a diet of 70's New Wave, pumped up early 80's New Romantic Electro, and a 90's hunger for indie Hacienda dance floor guitar rock. Top it off with identikit black mop top haircuts then wrap in monochrome vertical stripes and you've just about got TBA.''.

Alec Empire - We All Die!!!

 

Alec Empire, what an artist! 

I enjoyed his live performance at Exit festival, Novi Sad and had an amazing experience. This song ''On Fire'' gives so much energy and adrenalin that I can feel every time I listen to it.

      In our life conception of death is different in each of us. Someone feels fear and cold emotions, apathetic or lucid thoughts, but there are individuals that can make fun and be hand in hand with defamed mr or mrs death.

At the end, what is on the other side? 

Because... WE ALL DIE!!  ;)
