Maduro's full-length Catching Bullets (OCT22) was released on June 04
2012 (as a digital download only). Maduro's latest full-length album
"Catching Bullets" embodies the spirit of the great escape artists and
magicians of the early 20th century. Catching Bullets utilizes period
calliope carnivalesque progressions with dark distorted Roma accordions
and violins to build a magic show, trick by famous trick, punctuated
with dubstep, glitchy hip hop, breakbeats, and industrial progressions.
Renowned UK electronic artist Keef Baker (n5md, Ad Noiseam, Hymen
records) provides an amazing remix in this cacophony of chaos and
trickery. Mastering by Eric Beam and original cover art provided by
Psycho Sako Studios. It is now available on iTunes worldwide, eMusic,
Amazon, Spotify, Rhapsody, Zune, Napster, Medianet, Nokia, and other
fine download sites. A second Maduro release is planned for Fall 2012.
In other news Maduro stickers are now available and Teleoptyk's track "Sacrifice" from the Krampus EP may appear on a forthcoming Alpha Matrix industrial compilation titled Endzeit Bukertracks this Fall on CD only.

Sharps Inury - Back from the Dead (OCT17)
Sharps Injury's new release "Back from the Dead" EP is now available for digital download only and from most renowned digital download services (iTunes, emusic, Amazon, Zune, Napster, etc). Sharps Injury is an industrial/powernoise side project of Keef Baker. Sharps Injury shows a different side of Keef Baker. Where Keef Baker is about intricacy, change and melodic complexity, Sharps Injury is much more base. Sharps Injury mixes calculated rhythmic powernoise with dark sonic ambient architecture. After a long break following the 2004 EP (I Told my Girlfriend this was a 12") Keef Baker as Sharps Injury returns with another sonic assault with his latest endeavor (Back From the Dead EP) a release full of rage and rhythm (on Dancefloor tracks like Chopsmacker and Medibot) and seething contempt (on the nearly impossible to follow "falling down stairs" tempo of The Krotons and the distaste for structure shown on The Dominators).
