I’ve decided that with this next Unter Null album, it will be my last foray into ebm/industrial/whatever (you may call it) music.
2009 is going to be the year of massive experimentation, and not letting problems like, oh, not having an orchestra at immediate hand, not having a multi-million dollar studio, not having an actual "band" but being a solo musician, hold things back.
I’ve sorely wanted to get away from this genre and scene for a while now. I support my friends' bands, and there are a few bands I really really like in the industrial (umbrella term) genre, but it's not the kind of music I listen to anymore or have for a long time. I don't go to the clubs, not interested in club culture, and while a close-knit community can have its benefits, I am not enthused by the back-stabbing and horrendous "it's a small world" of it all.
While Unter Null has been my main project for over 10 years, I’m definitely not quitting it, however my desire it to tread new grounds and explore new sounds and ways of creation.
My latest release with Stray has also noted a change in my desire for evolution and change. With the current production of the next Unter Null album, I’ve been finding it increasingly harder to maintain separation between the two projects because I’ve been finding myself drifting more towards “Stray”-like tracks – heavy on the melody and instrumentation, and less interested in the distorted 4/4 kicks and rahrah vocals.
Being my background is originally in classical music, I feel these days I’m somewhat losing touch with that and while music has always been grounds for catharsis for me, where I am at now is just not cutting it for me.
So, this is meant in no offense to any of my friends, to fellow musicians, or to my awesome fans. It’s just time to be moving on… to start the sound that has begun

MOVING ON late 2008

Finally, 3 years after the release of "The Failure Epiphany", the next Unter Null album titled "Moving On" will be released later this year.
"Moving On" gives listeners an evolved Unter Null while still holding true to the venom and vitriol that has always been behind every song.
This release is again the product of Erica Dunham, and is mixed by Claus Larsen.
Expect pre-orders on Alfa Matrix in the near-future.

INFO-TEXT ENGLISH
In 2008, the Belgian label ALFA MATRIX will celebrate its 7th anniversary.
For the occasion, a special deluxe carton box double-CD + DVD (!!) label
compilation, "alfa matrix - re:connected [3.0]" will be released featuring
exclusive and previously unreleased material from ALL artists in the matrix.
And as a special feature to make this 34-track audio release even more
valuable to collector's, an extended 19-track video clip DVD collection is
included to visually enhance the experience!
Since its creation, Alfa Matrix has established itself as one of the few
unavoidable label references for quality electronic / EBM / industrial
music. Refusing to be typecast into a fixed format, Alfa Matrix quickly
built a varied international roster accentuated by influential artists
including pioneers such as FRONT 242, LEAETHER STRIP, TRISOMIE 21, MENTALLO
& THE FIXER, MONOLITH, PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE, etc. along side a stable of
outstanding and fast ascending younger acts and promising newcomers.
For this birthday occasion, many of the Alfa Matrix bands did not hesitate
to reveal brand new songs: UNTER NULL, AIBOFORCEN, 32CRASH, DUNKELWERK,
STRAY, KLUTAE, TAMTRUM, REGENERATOR, SEIZE, DIFFUZION, IMPLANT, NEIKKA RPM,
MONOLITH, MENTALLO & THE FIXER, MIND:STATE, etc. Other noticeable
contributions are from BRUDERSCHAFT revealing a new song with Tom Shear
(Assemblage 23) on vocals, TRISOMIE 21 announcing with "Hear Me Now" another
beautiful album for 2009 or yet the unique collaboration between PNE and
LEAETHER STRIP on a matchless duet remake of the timeless hit "Smalltown
Boy" - all offer guaranteed highlights on this compilation. We also enjoy
rare or new exclusive mixes of recent club hits from bands like LEAETHER
STRIP, AYRIA, DISKONNEKTED, ESSENCE OF MIND, NEBULA-H, STAR INDUSTRY,
TECHNOIR, AGONISED BY LOVE, HELALYN FLOWERS, ZOMBIE GIRL, I:SCINTILLA. And
last but not least, the uplifting appearance of the label's recent signings
KOMOR KOMMANDO (Sebastian Komor's next big power club hit solo-machine),
SHAUN F (new killer solo-project of GLIS' frontman), Paris-based KRYSTAL
SYSTEM, Belgium's latest highlight PSY'AVIAH and the next dark elektro
revelation on Alfa Matrix with the addition of Germany's ACYLUM for his next
album.
"re:connected [3.0]" holds over 2 hours of eclectic electronic music, an
ultimate sonic birthday card presenting the impressive Alfa Matrix
constellation of artists and what they have to offer you musically and
emotionally, plus some 19 video clips for your visual pleasure! From
electronica to power EBM, through harsh elektro, techno pop, industrial'n
beat, darkwave and goth industrial.the matrix holds no limits.

In the meantime...
Check out these awesome bands:
XP8 - My favorite Italian EBM artists who have a fantastic new album out called "The Art of Revenge"... My favorite track is "Waiting". It's actually now pretty much one of my favorite tracks ever.
Tricky - also has a brilliant new album out called "Knowle West Boy". My favorite track on this is "Past Mistake". Very gloomy, moody, lovely.
Spiral 69 - brilliant Italian artist who is likened to one of my favorite bands, Spiritual Front. Beautiful cover of "And I Love Her". Definitely something for the Spiritual Front fans.
Spectra Paris - project of Elena Fossi of Kirlian Camera - yet another one of my favorite bands. This project used to be named "Sidearctica". This is such lovely music... and there will be some interesting news on this soon....
