TESSERACT AND SKYHARBOR SONGWRITERS UNVEIL SECOND ALBUM, ATONE, THEIR FIRST ON KSCOPE "Wildly experimental and curiously accessible" Metal Hammer A team of songwriters based worldwide and at the height of their own scenes, who met through working on the Indian Rock band Skyharbor, White Moth Black Butterfly have joined forces to create their second album, 'Atone'. Singer Daniel Tompkins began WMBB as a creative outlet aside from writing for UK progressive rock band TesseracT, indulging in his other musical influences from Massive Attack, Enigma, Sigur Ros, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Tool, Dredg and Thrice. After growing Skyharbor as one of India's biggest rock bands with songwriter Keshav Dhar, including taking the stage with acts such as Lamb of God and Deftones, the pair collaborated on Tompkins' new Contemporary Pop project with progressive and experimental music at its heart. 'Atone', the new album from WMBB, is masterfully built on organic, textured and cinematic sounds, with two opposing themes of loss and hope. Tompkins explains - "Whilst songs like "Tempest" and "Atone" focus on faith and forgiveness, others like "Rising Sun" and "An Ocean Away" linger on love and nostalgia; throwing the listener into a bygone world of having less and caring more. The front cover artwork captures the beauty of nature and the harsh realities of life: power and dominance. White Moth Black Butterfly represents that very same struggle." The album was recorded across the globe at studios in India, the UK, US and Taiwan, bringing in their international roster of performers. This included the band's other writers: Randy Slaugh, the producer and string arranger for Skyharbor in the US, who has also worked with Devin Townsend, Architects and Periphery; and co-singer and lyricist Jordan Turner. This edition of the album will be released as an LP pressed on to 180g heavyweight vinyl. Press for 2014's 'One Thousand Wings': "Absolutely essential work. Experimental, accessible and quite brilliant... ranks high amongst this year's releases." PROG "The incredible sincere delicacy of Tompkins's vocals is a perfect compliment for the programmed beats, plaintive strings and pulsing electronics" Windswept Edge "Sublime and emotive; 'One Thousand Wings' is fantastic."

Melt Downer, consisting of Wolfgang Möstl, Mario Zangl (Mile Me Deaf, Killed by 9V Batteries) and Florian Giessauf (Torso, Red Red Red, Das kleine deutsche Eck) play heavy psychedelic rock with dub influences, far away from any macho rock clichés. Founded in 2014, they spent two years perfecting their partially improvised and free sound structures on stages in and around Austria before recording an album. It is definitely not any overly intellectualised tedium - structured fun has as much justification as banging on drums back in the Stone Age. They've already shared the stage with idols such as METZ and Destruction Unit, and their shows left even these heavyweights of this genre with gaping mouths. Through the transcription of the raw and nevertheless complex dynamics on the long-awaited debut album, they've succeeded in creating a true work of art that hasn't lost any of the energy of their live shows. This can be attributed to the lavish production that the band themselves are responsible for. In proper DIY manner, everything from setting up the first microphone to mastering the album and creating the artwork was under full control of the band. The results are more than just music to listen to. It's dangerous, brutal, dreamy and trippy. It will melt your brain cells. It's Melt Downer, yo.

Kimi Kärki is a Finnish cultural historian, guitar player and singer-songwriter. Known for his versatile guitar playing and sombre compositions for Reverend Bizarre, Lord Vicar, Orne, E-Musikgruppe Lux Ohr, and, most recently, Uhrijuhla, Kärki has developed his recognisable playing style within doom metal, progressive, folk, and electric ambient scenes. This variety of mostly underground styles reflects the open and intuitive approach to music, which is in the very heart of Kärki's craft. Eye for an Eye is Kärki's second singer-songwriter album. It is a follow-up to The Bone of My Bones, a 2013 effort that was also released by Svart Records. When the first one was built on 12-string guitar foundation, this time things are even more intimate, personal and heartfelt, the songs are played with warm nylon string tones that come closer to the listener. But that heart is supported by a rich decoration of other sounds and harmonies. The stories told on this record are romantic, in the old meaning of the world. They have their origins in both lived life and what could be called the Dreaming, but also resonate the culture that surrounds the dreamer. Both the pain and the joy are real. Give these songs some time, and they might heal you a bit, just like they healed the songwriter himself. Please listen loud, and preferably when you can forget everything else for a while. Even the silences speak volumes here. To maximise the listening pleasure, Kärki again decided to invite some friends to contribute additional guest vocals. Patrick Walker is best known as the emotional vocalist and songwriter of both Warning and 40 Watt Sun, and John Richardson - who just released his superb debut album on Svart Records - is an old school musician and the Professor of Musicology at University of Turku. He was already heard on the first album, just like the two stunning female vocalists, Anna-Elena Pääkkölä and Pirita Känkänen, whose clear harmonies juxtapose Kärki's sombre delivery. The album was again engineered by Joona Lukala. The collaboration with this sharp-eared audio wizard helped Kärki to realise the ambitious aural stories as intended - enjoy Eye for an Eye.

Having reformed in June 2016, Esprit D’Air are an electronic Japanese rock and space metal band based in London. The band is now comprised of Kai (vocals and guitar), Ellis (bass) and Daishi (drums).

Rockpalast was a WDR (Cologne) show produced between 1974 and 1986, and revived again in 1995. The show was produced by Peter Rüchel and directed by Christian Wagner. Peter Rüchel left in 2003, and was replaced by Peter Sommer, who also produced the 2004 Krautrockpalast gigs in Bonn. These two German music shows were definitely more ‘Old Grey Whistle Test’ than ‘Top of the Pops’. Rockpalast 1 At the time of this first appearance in 1977, the band stand between two albums. This was after Outside the Law (MIG 00292 CD), and after the post-USA split. Cliff had returned from his road trip to Kathmandu, and it was time get back to work. It was the original line-up again, but there was a big bust up, and Jim McGillivray left. Then came the phone call from Rockpalast, and Fritz Randow was pulled in to do drums. With just two weeks for Fritz to become the new EPITAPH drummer, the band hired a studio and practised daily. While Jim had a massive drum kit, Fritz had a very small, Phil Collins-style kit, because he was a great Phil Collins fan, with an 18-inch bass drum the size of Jim’s stand tom. With such a small kit, Fritz lacked Jim’s wall-to-wall sound, but he played well and also fitted in well in the fluorescent green painted former school in Graue that was home to EPITAPH at this time. The Rockpalast gig was also a life-saver, because they were paid DM 2,500, quite a lot of money in those days. Cliff remembers that “it was recorded in the studio with a small audience of about 30 people. Because of the cameras, the audience was about 30 to 40 metres away and it was very hard to play like that.” This appearance was part of a series that included bands like Ted Nugent, Nils Lofgren, and Tom Petty. EPITAPH was the only German band included, fitted in between all the American bands. Rockpalast 2 In 1979 EPITAPH was on the Brain Tour, organised by the record company Metronom. The tour included Uli Roth (who had split from the Scorpions to form his own band the year before), Accept, EPITAPH and a couple of other bands, all on the Brain label. One night when they were playing in Essen, the band came off stage to find Peter Rüchel from Rockpalast waiting in the wings. He was actually there to book Uli Roth, who was going on next, but EPITAPH had played so well that night that Peter turned to Cliff and said “Want to do Rockpalast again?” Just prior to the Rockpalast recording, EPITAPH had been on tour for six days, and Cliff had been singing all the lead vocals. The night they arrived, Cliff had lost his voice completely. He went to the hospital, where the casualty department was full of accidents and failed suicides, so Cliff was quite embarrassed to admit he was in casualty due to voice loss. But the night before a Rockpalast gig, this was an emergency. “They gave me something to drink, and my voice nearly held out. I made it through to almost the end of the concert before it started going again,” remembers Cliff. The line up for this second gig was Harvey Janssen on bass, Fritz Randow on drums, Heinz Glass on guitar, Michael Karch on Hammond organ, and Cliff doing vocals and lead guitar. Return to Reality had just come out, and the band was working on the new album which was going to be See You in Alaska, and some of the tracks from this Rockpalast gig hadn’t been recorded by then. When I Lose Your Love has got vocals on it here, but the album just has the instrumental version – and still nobody can remember why. Enjoy time travelling through the history of EPITAPH, with what is considered by many to be the best English language rock ever made in Germany. And they’re still at it today. Alistair A.
