Angels On Acid - Eyes Behind The Curtain

After having been introduced to Angels On Acid's music by several of the DC DJs, I knew I had to check these guys out. After hearing the great demos and catching an amazing performance at BOUND, I knew these guys were going places. Angels On Acid graced the stage at Nuclearfest 2007 as one of our headliners, and it's clear by their release of "Eyes Behind The Curtain" that they're only going up.

Angels On Acid represent everything that's going right in EBM these days. Killer electronics that keep you dancing, interlaced with the perfect blend of harmonic vocals meshed with industrial growls. This CD is a must have to DJs looking to pack the dance floor with something new. Even now, "Misery Loves Company" is blazing trails throughout clubs in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC.

In Tenebris - In Tenebris

A long-time Virginia favorite, female-fronted goth rockers In Tenebris have finally graced their fans with their long-awaited full-length. In Tenebris have been one of the most active goth/industrial bands in the Eastern United States scene, playing recently with bands such as Bella Morte and Ego Likeness. The band's self-titled release now features their fan's favorite live ballads in their studio-recorded glory.

Christina's clear soprano vocals soar in a manner reminescient of Ego Likeness or Evanescence, complimented by a memorable combination of electronics and acoustic instruments, especially in tracks such as "Chrysalis". In Tenebris have always surpassed the generic label of "goth rock" by creating a distinct sound with the meld of traditional rock rhythms and catchy electronic pulses.

The only disappointment from this band was the announcement of the band's demise soon after the release. However, many of the band members have expressed their plans to follow seperate projects, many of which will be followed by Radio-Active-Music.com. In the meantime, there's no denial about In Tenebris' impact on the goth/industrial scene in the Eastern Seaboard.

Suggested Tracks:
"Chrysalis"
"Havok"
