Profile:  It may sound surprising how BLANK, after one album, is still a 'new' band in Europe and the US, but is considered among the pioneers in the Italian electronic scene. Composed of the Maze on vocals and der Mate on keyboards, and drawing inspiration from early italian industrial greats such as Pankow and Templebeat, as well as modern dance legends like BT or Tiesto, Blank caught the attention of the electro underground with their self-produced demos released in 2000 and 2001. Way before community sites like Myspace and digital downloads on iTunes were even conceived, BLANK made their music available for free download on their website. In 2000 and 2001, promo cds "424C414E4B" and "Brain Trigger" received hundreds of downloads and enthusiastic reviews and club spins all over the world, that got BLANK a solid following and a deal with canadian Artoffact records. BLANK finally debuted in 2003 with the "Overhead ep", and released their first full-length, the critically praised "Artificial Breathing", in 2004. A few months later, new songs and remixes appeared on the split-CD "Uturn 3", teaming up with Icon of Coil's Sebastian Komor project Moonitor. After a well-deserved break and a couple of years of work in their studio, theMaze and derMate finally released a digital-only single titled "Hellbound EP" that marked BLANK comeback in july 2007. Aiming at the dancefloor and at the heart, BLANK second album "The Impact Zone" is now ready to surprise you with its unique blend of thought-provoking lyrics, deep vocals and energetic dance beats.  Sounds Like: techno-trance flavoured EBM, atmospheric and melancholic at times... but always pumping and beating at top speed. Releases: Influences: front line assembly, front 242, pankow, clock dva, skinny puppy, leaether strip, nitzer ebb, x-marks the pedwalk, mentallo & the fixer, funker vogt, controlled fusion, lassigue bendthaus, kirlian camera, evils toy, templebeat, aphex twin, armand van helden, rosetta stone, new order, juno reactor, nine inch nails, transwave, paul oakenfold, hallucinogen, astral projection, underworld, terence fixmer, bt, tiesto......and so many others that it's impossible to name them all!
