BOCKSHOLM [SWEDEN]
|
|||
|
After years of confusion caused by their names, musicians and Cold Meat Industry label-mates Peter Andersson [aka Lina Baby Doll of Deutsch Nepal] and Peter Andersson [Raison d'être], who both grew up in the small industrial town of Boxholm, Sweden, decided there was almost no choice but to collaborate with each other in a project named Bocksholm an old spelling of Boxholm]. Their first album "Excursions by the Bank of the Black River" was released by Tesco earlier this year.

CON-DOM [UK] |
|||
|
With various releases on Tesco/Functional, Con-Dom's fierce vocals and fluctuating noise can be confrontational and controversial, but always thoughtful. After nearly twenty years of existence, Con-Dom is, along with Whitehouse and The Grey Wolves, one of the first names in British power electronics.

DER BLUTHARSCH [AUSTRIA] |
|||
|
Percussive and at times very melodic, Der Blutharsch concocts kinky martial industrial tunes with neoclassical flourishes and samples. Although front man Albin Julius has a special fondness for the U.S. and especially Las Vegas, this will be the first series of performances for Der Blutharsch in the U.S.
