What do you get when you have two individually great forces collide? Well, maybe some kind of “explosion” - in this case an “audio explosion”. But only in the metaphorical sense. We are happy to present you the next chapter in the A-Sun Amissa journey, this time in collaboration with the mighty pen of Lauren Mason. Here we have Water Scores for you!

Well, there is that old discussion whether you need to know the real pioneers in order to understand any second, third, new, nu wave or whichever generation that follows. A discussion that offten also manifests itself for any Punk kid. Do you need to know Toys that Kill? You don’t. Will you enjoy their old school Garage Punk? You probably will! That’s we happily premiere their new record Triple Sabotage here on VoS!

Don’t we all love a good Doomjazz record? A record with nice shifts and sways, with movement all across the registers of “blackened” Jazz parts slowly moving Doom-like to and fro, throwing us and our listening habits overboard every once in a while, or rather several times in a song? For all those out there, this full record premiere is just for you: To Die on Ice let us give you Panoramica degli Abissi!</b>

While ostensibly a nonprofit record label and DIY artist collective, characterized by a long-tailed series of experimental and underground releases, the Saccharine Underground is, to all intents and purposes, an umbrella for the various recording projects helmed by prolific Washington D.C. artist, Jeremy Moore.

Remember what Rick Rubin did for Johnny Cash? Revitalize his career by letting him sing classic young and old accompanied mostly only by a very sparse acoustic-guitar centred instrumentation? Something similar can be witnessed by looking at the latest project by our beloved Eugene S. Robinson who will be releasing a covers record re-imagining classics by for example Sammy Davis Jr. As a very special gift for all our VoS-aficionados we got an exclusive text by Ako-Lite owner and long-time-Robinson intimate John Getze! Enjoy!

Doesn’t everybody need some chaos in life every once in a while? A bit of madness and sometimes madness inside the madness? Well, many of us do and when thinking in musical terms, there are hardly any things more chaotic than Grindcore but when that one is not done is a straight line but with tinges of breathers, hints of Noise-Rock and you-name-it, then it becomes even more interesting doesn’t it? Entrance Birth and Loss and their Untitled EP which we proudly present today!
