Well-known genre writer Ilker Yücel gave the new Dead Monsters CD an excellent review in this month’s issue of Regen Music Magazine. You can find the complete text of the review on Regen’s website by clicking here.

Regen Music Magazine is an excellent resource for all things electro industrial, and is well worth a long look. They have just revamped their website’s layout, and it’s look and functionality have never been better.

Ilker Yücel has been writing about music for many years, and will actually be doing a remix of the title track from Dead Monsters in the near future. There have been some excellent remixes done of Brainclaw material, and fans have been making requests so… there may be a new Brainclaw Remix CD in the works for the wintertime. Look for more remix news right here, as it happens.

Many thanks to Ilker and Regen Music Magazine for this excellent press and review! Remember, if you are affiliated with a music website or magazine, or are a music writer, please contact Brainclaw Management to request a promotional copy of Dead Monsters or Insekt/Angel.

Brainclaw has just completed a cool new remix of Alfa Matrix recording artist Neikka RPM’s song “I Ride The Flames.”

Neikka RPM makes a wonderful variety of heavy beat industrial music with freaky, distorted female vocals. Dominique approached Brainclaw’s label BLC Productions about doing a remix for Neikka RPM a few weeks ago. Naturally, we were thrilled at the chance to put that special Brainclaw rinse on an already excellent song.

The song heads off in a few days to the mastering engineer along with several other remixes that will be appearing on a future Neikka RPM release.

We will post more info on this release as it becomes available.

From the Neikka RPM website:

“The music of Neikka RPM is a dark-pulse of fury resonating from within the underground catacombs of New York. Their sound, a unique mixture of ultra-aggressive soundscapes and Dominique’s bewitching vocals, has been described by one reviewer as “a beautiful wave of destruction that stays with you long after the CD ends.” Neikka RPM is the creator of a pounding club-floor sonic assault that sounds much like a fusion between the raw-energy of Front 242 (Re:Boot), the sexy shimmer of Starseeds and the hard-electronica attitude of Prodigy (Fat of the Land)…one can only succumb to the frenzy beneath the crush of each club-destroying track.”

Japanese author Kenji Siratori approached Brainclaw this week to propose a collaboration. He is a well-known author who works in a very stange technique of seemingly random words and phrases, all steeped in a very cyberpunk techno-horror style.

His closest ancestors would be authors like William S. Burroughs and Antonin Artaud. The material is raw, futuristic and very dark. It seems to be a perfect match for some custom-crafted Brainclaw music.

Kenji describes his own work… “I believe that the novel becomes a cultural trigger-but this requires the digital narrative of nerve cells that had the creature intensity-simultaneously we must perceive the instant when the novel is networking as a part of the human body emulator.”

Work begins next week on this interesting collaborative effort. No one is quite sure how the song will be released, but it will most likely be available for free download from the MUSIC page on this website. More news as it becomes available…
