Massive press onslaught: Interviews in Orkus, Sonic Seducer, Negatief and more

Virul3nt — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 05:37:22 +0000

Check out the May 2010 issues of Sonic Seducer, Orkus and Negatief magazines for interviews with Shiv-r!
These are major print magazines in Germany with widespread distribution and you can even pick them up in German supermarkets, along with all the teen and gossip magazines. In fact, last time I was in Germany I recall seeing a Sonic Seducer billboard-sign alongside a highway near Berlin!

If you can’t get to a newstand in Germany, we have also done an online interview for Chaos Tune e-zine, which you can read here.

Additionally, last time Kong and I were in the same country we did a VIDEO INTERVIEW in my home studio wherein we discuss our album and how we work on our productions. Check it out here.

This is The End - filmclip coming soon

Virul3nt — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 12:12:56 +0000

On 27 March 2010 we shot a filmclip for our song “The End”, which features on our upcoming album Hold My Hand. The filmclip is currently in post-production and will be released shortly after our album.

The story follows an “innocent” protagonist who is drawn to a club called “The End”, despite warnings along her path. When she enters the club she realises it is far more sinister a place than she anticipated but before she can make her escape she is seized, tortured and eventually transformed. This embodies the concept of our album-title “Hold My Hand”, inviting the listener to come into our world and experience it through our eyes. We want you to trust us, to feel safe with us, but can you really? There is something far more sinister at play here. This is not a party, this is a place of punishment. This is The End.

Shiv-r partnership with METROPOLIS RECORDS & Deathwatch Asia

Virul3nt — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 03:48:36 +0000

We have some amazing news to announce. Further to our signing with Germany’s Infacted Recordings, we have also been signed to Metropolis Records for North America AND Deathwatch Asia for Japan/Oceania!
So there will be 3 editions of our debut album “Hold My Hand” as follows:

Shiv-r - Hold My Hand [Infacted], release date: 23 April 2010
Shiv-r - Hold My Hand [Metropolis], release date: 25 May 2010 (pre-order now available)
Shiv-r - Hold My Hand [Deathwatch Asia], release date 15 May 2010 (pre-order now available)

The Deathwatch Asia version will include 3-4 exclusive tracks and will be packaged in a deluxe digipak with 8-page booklet featuring the excellent work of graphic designer UserDX and photographer Matthew Burgess. The exclusive tracks include a great remix by XP8, and 2 totally exclusive tracks “Requiem” and “Clear Thoughts“. These tracks are some of the first we wrote as Shiv-r but when choosing tracks for our album we decided to leave them off for stylistic reasons as they draw very heavily from the psytrance genre. This Deathwatch Asia release was then a great opportunity to let these songs see the light of day so people should find it interesting to hear our early stylistic development in these tracks.
Pre-order before 24 April to get the maximum pre-order discount.

Pre-order the DWA edition:

Pre-order the Metropolis edition:

We have also uploaded new album previews to our myspace and vampirefreaks pages.

May we also mention, on this informal blog-format, that the significance of this moment is not lost on us! It was almost 10 years ago that Kong and I were reading web pages like “Industrial 101” (wherein the end goal is to sign to Metropolis Records, or Zoth Ommog (where Infacted draw their lineage from)). Furthermore, the fact that this has happened for our debut album, as a relatively unknown band, is all the more satisfying. Thanks to Infacted and all those who believe in us!
