001 . First Night in the WombMachine!

Here we are with something new! This space opens because I felt that a webspace like Gehenna was somehow lacking often-updated info and opinions about two-three topics I'm planning to discuss here:

A) Music, first of all (since I'm sure you NEED some suggestions) and...
B) ...everything else I like to talk about ;) Which means movies, books, essays and whatever else is linked somehow with the stuff you can find on Gehenna East.

Just to put it clear: I'm writing in English because I would like to share this space with as many people as possible, but I'm an Italian speaker and I'm trying to do my best with the English grammar. Therefore, if you find some mistakes please be patient (you can always write a comment to my post, I like to improve my language skills) or fuck off. No destructive criticism about the language thing will be tolerated.

One more thing: I'm becoming more and more a supporter of the Transhuman movement and the connected posthuman [utopic?] society, but we will have the chance to talk about this topic later. It was just to warn you...

Coming back to the (A) point, the best thing I can do now is to start talking about the great relase of a great band of newcomers: Dope Stars Inc.
The band, composed by four italian guys (they're just pretending they're American) just relased ://NEUROMANCE, an electrometal goddamn masterpiece. The limited digipack version (I got the signed one ^__^) looks amazing (DVD size, 32 page booklet with artworks from http://www.neontrinitykill.com/, the album CD and the remix CD, one poster, one sticker and some other stuff). To be honest their music sounds pimping and catchy (not too fast, not too slow, not too soft and not too harsh) but rarely a debut album was so impressive. Ok, if you look at their way of dressing it seems they are screaming from the pics "Girls, now is time to have sex!", but they are talented and good at selling themselves, no doubt about it. The remix CD includes tracks by Spiritual Front (fuck yeah!), Deathstars, Siderartica, Mortiis and so on. The producer is the same guy of Depeche Mode and HIM, so you can be sure you'll hear Dope Stars Inc name's again...By the way, NEUROMANCE "se on vitun hyvä!" / (it's fucking good, for no finnish speakers - that's for Grace Khold, the guy behind the keyboard and the art direction: we had some collaboration several months ago for some Project Ring covers. After a while he disappeared behaving like a prick, but I have to thank him anyway. He was the one convincing me to visit Finland - kiitos - and he is still a good 360° artist!).

You can listen to their songs at: http://www.dopestarsinc.com/downloads.htm

Here's a shot of the limited edition:
