The cleaning robots return with their first album in ten years. Cleaning Women, with their DIY instruments, release a new album on Svart Records on February 15th. Titled Intersubjectivity, the album has been mixed by Einstürzende Neubauten s Alexander Hacke, which has resulted in the band s curiously original approach to music sounding more organic than ever. We wanted the album to sound like how we sound live on stage, at least to our ears. We wanted to carry our junk instruments to the finest studio we can find so that we could bring out the smallest nuances of the sound our instruments produce. We recorded the album in the brand new E-Studio in Sipoo, Finland, with as few overdubs as possible. Alexander Hacke, who has three decades of experience with the clang and rattle of junk metal, managed to dig up the essential elements in our music. Studio sessions took a mere five days, as did mixing, so everything happened quite intuitively with little polish to things. That s why we feel the result sounds intergalactically fresh , comments the band.

Hellfire Ocean Void is composed by 8 songs that unfolds themselves effortlessly perfect in the tension between a delicate sense of composition and the uncompromising urgency with which the five musicians deliver the performance of each song. The writing, recording, mixing and production was all done during the winter 2017-2018 by Demon Head in their own analog studio. Isolating themselves in the frozen country side by the cost of Denmark and having no studio time limitations made it possible to encounter the recording studio as 6th member, enabled them to produce the album with sincere curiosity and perfection. The only other person involved was the legendary producer Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica, Morbid Angel, Mercyful fate, etc.) who mastered the album in Sweet Silence Studios. With Hellfire Ocean Void Demon Head have created a masterpiece in contemporary rock music. As any other truly original music, it is difficult to draw any similarities, since the music seems to hint at nothing but its own integrity. An integrity that is based upon the insight that Demon Head gains from loving and accepting the many clichés and traditions that follows playing rock music and from that foundation moves far into the unknown, into the darkness and into our hearts. 

A mix between roots music from Brazil and urban cultures like hip hop, dub and bass lusic: Sociedade Recreativa is the unexpected blend between nordestine Trans of franco-brazilian band Forró de Rebeca with beats, basses and effects of the North American producer Maga Bo. Hybrid, eclectic, their music explores new sound horizons, juxtaposing electronic textures and rustic instruments like berimbau, rabeca or viola. Their first album, released in April of 2016 by the French record label Jarring Effects, have been cheered by specialized press (Songlines, Télérama, Les Inrocks,...) and widely diffused by djs and radios, placing the album in the Top 20 of prestigious Transglobal World Music Charts during months. On stage, we feel the power of sound system culture, allied to the sophistication of ancestral rhythms and melodies from Brazil Nordeste. A winning bet which seduced London, Paris, Geneva and Copenhagen. The tour kept up to Brazil, passing by Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Recife. A journey full of meetings with the best of Brazilian electro scene. The live experience gave life to a second album, leaning on dancefloor. Sociativa , to be released in February 1rst of 2019 by Jarring Effects, shows once again the band dexterity in not altering tradition by electronica. Meetings done on the road enrich the album, like the puckish violon of Mestre Luiz Paixao or the glowing voice of Mozambican singer Gata Misteriosa. Afro-Brazilian incantations push by futurist beats, samba tunes hijacked by super powered bass, Amerindian rituals amplified by digital effects, this new album push far away the meeting between Brazilian Nordeste and urban cultures. Especially created for dancefloors, these 10 tracks will transport you in an imaginary territory, populated by fantastic realism and archetypal divinities. On stage, Sociedade Recreativa take the shape of a multidisciplinary collective, incorporating the delirium of the video maker Marcelo Valente and the ardor of talented dancer Tereza Azevedo. The will be on tour from February 2019, beginning by Europe and Brazil to defend this new album. SIDE A : A1. EMBOLA PEDRA SIDE B : B1 CAPOAREIA A2. CATARINA SAMBA B2.

Naðra returned to reap more souls at Roadburn 2017 In 2016, we introduced our faithful Roadburners to the obscure might of the Icelandic black metal underground. By having Misþyrming as our artist in residence, we were able to feature a series of other bands connected to them on our bill, and all of them made abundantly clear with their devastating performances why we are so impressed with this particular scene. Naðra, which features four Misþyrming members plus the unhinged demon that is vocalist Ö, gave us one of the most enduring experiences of them all when they damn nearly brought down the Extase venue. Sometimes, however, once is not enough. When, a couple of months after Roadburn 2016, we witnessed Naðra laying waste to a petrified audience during the amazing Eistnaflug festival in Neskaupstaður, Iceland, that tiny voice in our head that kept nagging us turned into a roar: Naðra need more attention from us, from you, from everyone. This black magic is too powerful to be confined to small spaces. After that staggering show in Iceland, the decision was pretty much already made in our minds Naðra needed to return to Roadburn. Therefore, in 2017, we are breaking them free, free from the confines of a smaller venue, or of an artist in residence programme. Like opening a Pandora s box, all those tortured, twisting hymns of sickness that made Allir Vegir Til Glötunar one of the most harrowing records of 2016 will now resonate inside the Het Patronaat as if they were hissing, soul-consuming demons flying free and zoning in on you, beloved Roadburners. This time there will be many more than 300 souls to consume... but their appetite is voracious and never satisfied. TRACKLIST 1. Fjallið (live) 2. Falið (live) 3. Forn (live) 4. Hold (live) 5.
