Lost Rivers – My beatific Vision ltd LP

Need a few keywords? Strobo, Feedback, White Noise, Wall Of Sound, Fuzz, Loveless, Headache, Overdrive & Leather Jackets. – The route should be clear. ”My beatific vision”, which is the now re-released debut album, goes to the nerve, shakes at the synapses, not only musically mixed up, but also visually – stroboscopic light and max volume do the rest. Where many bands use guitar effects only for the adornment serve, here they are used pretty accurate and sophisticated. Everything is loud, everything is short before overturning, all on the verge of tinnitus. But in all that there is always a melody – the uncompromising recording brought good old Bieber to his technical limits while cutting!  “My beatific vision’s” musical journey begins in the middle of the 80, from the look and the overdrive of J&TMC, builds ups some speed in the mid-90s with the heroes of shoegaze and finally comes to a stand in NYC of the 2000s. What may sound like a rip-off quickly emerges as a precise observation on the scene, whose smart building blocks are put together as The Lost Rivers – the three guys from the countryside distill a hypnotic wall of sound without copying.

New bands on TCM – Space Chaser & Trainwreck & TCM Fest preparations for autumn!

please welcome Space Chaser to the TCM-family… they will record their debut LP summer this year and will thrash you till death…

This rat pack from berlin will blow your mind. think of sneaker hi-tops, beer & fast riffing! you haven’t been caught headbangin’ lately? well, turn on your stereo and pump the volume: Space Chaser will get the job done.

this reminds me of my late 80s going skateboarding with D.R.I. on my walkmen. absolutely pure 80s thrash metal like old Agent Steel – a fast, ripping & in your face old school attack. this guys live the metal lifestyle, no fake and no bullshit! – bandpic. by phrenetica

“From time to time modern day metal bands decide to keep the traditions alive, Space Chaser are no exception. The Thrash Metal quintet from Berlin release their premier demo and promo this year and as such show excellency right from the first riff, this is 80′s style Thrash Metal in the vein of Anthrax and Metallica mostly, with the classic and easily detectable riffs and signature drumming as the backdrop, Space Chaser are nowhere near the Teutonic Thrash Metal style that has plagued the German metal scene for years. As long as they keep this up, they could make a name for themselves in the European metal scenes, you won’t need a time travel machine to see 80′s Thrash Metal, let the Space Chaser get it for you.” Rhys Stevenson, GlobalMetalApocalypse

After going on Benni’s nerves for the last 1,5 years, i got finally his mail two days ago! Yeaaaahhhhh, i am so happy to announce Trainwreck’s next 12″ on This Charming Man! WICCCKKKKKEEEDDDD! more infos will come – right now i know they record new stuff in august…

for you two people, who don’t know these guys, listen & learn here

right now i am working on some shows with a almost complete tcm-family-lineup for the 2nd of october and the 04th and 5th of october! more news will be posted soon!
