EROTIC SECRETS OF POMPEII

Welcome to a world where everything frays at the seams and burns forever madly, a world beneath the ashes of which, love and imagination blossom uncontrollably.

Welcome to the world of MONDO MALEFICUM – the debut album from Erotic Secrets of Pompeii.

Released on 25th Jan 2024, MONDO MALEFICUM is an album of agitated art-rock death-trip soliloquies, where ESOP flaunt their diabolical pageantry while conjuring up gratuitous myths. 

Hailing from Bristol, UK, Erotic Secrets of Pompeii have received airplay on BBC Radio 6, Radio X and BBC Introducing. ESOP’s music is populated with grotesque imagery and vivid symbolism, drawing from artists across different mediums, such as Lynch, Dali, Bacon, Blake, Cronenberg, Jodorowsky, Mapplethorpe.

Armed with their Dionysian live shows, the band is primed for a huge 2024, with dates across March and May already booked in for their headline UK album tour.

MADMESS

Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Oporto, Portugal, after their first years as band in London, Madmess are willing to spare the tongue while inviting us to their instrumental spacecraft, one that, along different speed limits, rambles through zeppelin-shaped constellations or black holes worthy of Sabbath.

Formed in 2017, Madmess quickly gained recognition in the European music circuit, with their unique fusion of heavy rock with psychedelic elements.
Released by Hassle Records, their last album Rebirth magnifies the riffage, is a record that may never die, made by rockers who are fortunate to live.
With a new album ready and soon to be released, Madmess are ready to travel further in 2024.

OSLO TAPES

An auditory mirage of disorientation and restlessness takes center stage in Marco
Campitelli’s fourth album, blending Post, Art, Kraut, Noise and introspection.

On Friday, December 01st 2023, Oslo Tapes released with the highly anticipated fourth album, Staring at the Sun Before Goin’ Blind.
The album was released on vinyl by Echodelick Records (USA) and Sound Effect Records (Greece), while Grazil Records (Austria) oversees the CD, cassette, and digital versions.
Staring at the Sun Before Goin’ Blind is the follow-up to the successful third album ØR, released in 2021 by the prestigious Pelagic Records, and it is imbued with emotional radiations that fuel disorientation and restlessness.
Voices in contrast with metronomic rhythmic patterns, geometries distorted by fluid basslines, and melodic synths that compensate for the voids left by liquid and acidic guitars all contribute to creating a distinctly personal auditory mirage.
The album is produced by Amaury Cambuzat, historic member of faUSt and Ulan Bator, who co-wrote the songs and arrangements with Campitelli. Using an unspecified number of magnetic tapes and analog machines, he forged the album’s sound through his thirty-year experience in the kraut/avant/rock domain.
Recommended for fans of God Is An Astronaut , Neu! , Can , Porno For Pyros , Nine Inch Nails , and Angel Of Light.

Personnel who played on the album encloses Mauro Spada on bass, Davide Di Virgilio on drums, Stefano Micolucci on bass and upright bass, Federico Sergente on percussion, Nicola Amici, also known as Kaouenn, on guitars, synths, and percussion.
There are also exceptional guests such as Berlin’s Sicker Man from Trialogos on cello and Dahm Majuri Cipolla, the drummer for Japanese post-rock band Mono.
