Gothic Rock

Angellis

Angellis were recently resurrected after a three year hiatus of soul searching. “We were just too young and niave,” says frontman Jonne. “It’s probably good that we’ve spent time away from each other, otherwise we’d probably have destroyed ourselves. We’re abit older no...w, hopefully a bit wiser and more together,” Providing a constant energy source for the band is wild man percussionist Voodoo Styx, already a respected drummer around the Stoke-on-Trent area.

Thine

One of the most powerful forces in the goth metal underground, Thine stepped into the spotlight in the late '90s and continued to make waves throughout the next few years. It all started in 1996 when singer Alan, guitarist Paul, and drummer Dan came together due to their love of heavy music. Putting together the rough Journey's demo later that year, a member of Black Tears Records' staff heard the record and recommended them to be signed.

Evil Devil

Evil Devil's project took place in Italy, March 2001, when CremEvil try to put once again together his previous band called Bone Rest which included AmbrosEvil and PiccEvil too. They decided to replace the previous singer with Angel Face, (a very good friend of CremEvil that was since long time in the psycho scene) and change the band name into Evil Devil.
It follows a short period of practicing, and the guys decided to self produce a CD with the songs they wrote, just for fun. The band sent the CD to the German label Crazy Love Records, probably the most important in the psycho scene.

Anniversary Circle

ANNIVERSARY CIRCLE sounds like LYCIA would jam with KILLING JOKE
somewhere in the 90s, in a town called Twin Peaks.
Alternative / goth / post punk, somwhere between the pulsating vibes of
Joy Division / Killing Joke, the deep melancholy of Lycia represented by
ethereal female vocals and the gloom of Bauhaus.
About the debut album Saturated Feathers (2010)
You’re born, you live and you die in your beds. On each occasion there is cause for celebration or mourning.

Inca Babies

Sometime in 1982 or 1983 in Manchester’s Hulme district the Inca Babies were formed. Hulme, a concrete, deck access ‘streets in the sky’ projects, was at that time a demi-bohemia over run with artists, musicians, students, addicts and ‘ne’er do wells’. Previous tenants, mainly families, put there to benefit from this ‘magical new living space’, realising a slum was a slum regardless of how high off the ground you put it, had long gone.
