"The second release of our 'Love' series presents two love songs by no one else than Areal's label boss Metope himself. The A-side 'Agapi' is a combination of maximum thrust with an extreme generation of heat thanks to a maximum of utmost possible friction. This is a real, pure techno monster with loads of passion that only a Greek lover can develop. Bumpy and mega-groovy beats offer the necessary thrust accompanied by a Metope-characteristic bass line that is knarzing itself into ecstasy by its inherent peculiarity. In other words, this an electronic courtship of beats, bass line and lashing snares. And one thing is for sure: the sophisticated arrangement guarantees sticky, sweating bodies and hot soles. 'Serenity' has a dubby character, it is full of dark melancholy and shows the necessary deepness of a love song."

"After the creative break that followed the critically acclaimed maxi-series The Sound of Warhammer 40.000 Art of Perception returns to jump start an all new concept. Simply entitled 'Love,' this seven-part vinyl-series covers the vast possibilities of redefining the love song in all its facets. The first release features two songs by Art-of-Perception label owner Maral Salmassi paving the way for the daring diversity that reflects the spirit of this project. 'Forever,' the A side, merges a touch of melancholic electronica with silky vocals and classical string arrangements. A bittersweet symphony that mirrors that gloomy season of winter and leaves a taste of tantalizing darkness. From a totally different point of view comes the motivation for the B side, entitled 'Does it Really Matter?.' A tight and minimal club monster. Rompin' and stompin' beats and furiously funky basslines drawn through by cracking sounds and sizzling samples, which meet an elaborate arrangement. This track hails the joy and playfulness of love itself."

"Dr. Shingo on the rampage, like a steamroller gone bonkers. 'March of Death' appears as the auditive equivalent to a horrid horde of eighteen wheelers rompin' and stompin' though your brain. The idiosyncratic Bloodthirster Khorn himself at the wheel on this tour de force. The pounding of the bassdrum rages like a a call to arms, while screaming sequences of savagely sawing basslines slit your ear-drum into pieces. And suddenly... like a surrealistic twist of fate this track turns the battlefield into an opera of officious omnipotence. Ascii Disko blows the horns of war in a way that describes the Chaos Space Marines in their inner essence. Simply yet effective entitled 'Chaos' his first track can be described best as a pure force of a nature, a flaming tornado that slashes his way through the lines of the enemy."

3rd volume in this series. Feat. tracks from Michael Mayer, Silicon Scally, Christian Morgenstern, Heiko Laux, Kitbuilders, etc. "We finally made it. After twelve limited split-EPs the journey through the 41st Millennium reached its destination. Travelling at the speed of sound brought us to a vast universe inhabited by the most unique creatures mankind faced so far. The pilots of our time and space travelling capsules documented their most frightening and surprising moments on their digital hard drives, an archive, that contained material too good to be true. The most fascinating sound files were collected into the above mentioned series of twelve tantalising split-EPs. The Sound of Warhammer Chapter III, the conclusion of our trilogy, contains the auditive adventures into the future's dark age of brave young spies of sound like John Starlight, feared by the enemy for his furious beats, Dr Shingo, the jammin jester from Japan, Kitbuilders, eclectic electricity from Cologne, Northern Lite, guiding us into their future, or Ascii Disko, epicure of encoded entities."

"Northern Light sagaciously stage the tantalising deployment of the Tyranids in their first track. A dominating bassline marches on in this electro-influenced score as the Tyranids prepare for a vicious fray. A romping, stomping steamroller of a track, that fiercely features those riffs of rock'n'roll your sorry soul would expect from Northern Light. Clé & Mike Vamp aka Märtini Brös capture the essence of a Tyranid's mind in their first track entitled 'Eat'. Electronic guitars ragingly rip apart the lurid leftovers of the body count of battle as vile vocals loutishly laugh at the face of death. A massive kick makes pop as absurd as life itself in this one."

5th volume in this 12" series (many volumes appear to now be out of print). "The dynamic duo known as Bandulu confronts us with the well armed and highly mobile Chaos Space Marine Bikers in their first track, entitled 'Deadly ride'. A fast paced fanfare launching the biker's deadly raids behind enemy lines bringing terror and death over their pure victims. You know, what which they cannot destroy, they will defile. Those who they do not defeat will know only despair. Bandulu's second contribution 'Dance, nurgling, dance...' comes through your speakers as a quite groovy dub-woofer with nice sounds. Even the most rotten, stinky god of decay and pestilence should spread his putrefaction with a funky dance. Yeah, shake your booty, my god of corrosion. On the B-side DisX3, aka Alexander Kowalski, enchants us with an 'Unholy pray', which is is filled with mystical themes and a dark driving beat. His second track is a celebration of Slaanesh, keeper of secrets. It's impossible to describe his despicable power of his/her two-sided nature. Half male and half female this obscene mixture of animosity and man is a trap for any mortal kind. 'Slaanesh' is an electro-track with a mysterious atmosphere in accompaniment of heavy bouncing drums and a razor sharp bassline."
