GERECHTIGKEITS LIGA
Gerechtigkeits Liga was formed in Germany in 1981 to create an outlet for the neurotic obsessions of it’s members. The group produced and released their first Tapes & Videos and the 12″ Vinyl Maxie Single ‘’The games must go on’’, on their own record label by the name of Zyklus production. In 1986/87 they moved their centre of operation to London. G.L’s first album was released on Side Effects Records, which was then owned and operated by Graeme Revell of the Industrial group SPK. Throughout the 1980’s the group was self sufficient in producing Music, Films and Videos. Multimedia performances took place all over Europe and North America. At at the beginning of the 1990’s G.L became partly inactive and didn’t release any new audio material, but towards the beginning of the Millenium, founder member Till Brüggemann felt the need to restart the project again. Since then, newly recorded tracks have been released on various European compilation projects. In 2005 two of G.L’s early Vinyl releases aswell as some previously unreleased Audio material, was made available again in form of a CD digipack. Further Audio, aswell as Video material was released as a limited edition on Vinyl and DVD by the infamous label Vinyl-on-Demand in 2008. Gerechtigkeits Liga, now based in London and Berlin, consists of Till Brüggemann and Ragnar, who work together with different collaborators, who lend their support and skills to the various activities of the group.
KNIFELADDER
Knifeladder have been in existence in one form or another since 1998. Their sound is the culmination of years of experimentation and independent development. The resultant sound is a heavily percussive industrial organic hybrid, a new meshing of electronic loops, live bass and percussion and ethnic instrumentation to form a kind of Organic Industrial Music. Compared to such acts as Test Dept, Coil and Mother Destruction, Knifeladder have outgrown their reference points to create their own niche in the genre obsessed Industrial scene.
The personnel include Jonh Murphy, percussionist and electronic pioneer with such acts as SPK, early Current 93 and credible pop act The Associates. Hunter Barr was a founder member of the infamous Infant Skull Surgery and is a renowned recording engineer for his unconventional yet obsessively perfectionist approach. Andrew Trail was founder of Autogeddon and performed in the controversial Ministry of Love, who broke up after being banned from performing in every live venue in Sydney. He currently also plays live keyboards with Inertia. Knifeladder themselves have performed with such acts as Allerseen, Sieben, Naevus, Coil, Bad Sector and Neither/neither world. With over 100 live actions, they have mastered the live environment like few others.
ANENZEPHALIA
Anenzephalia was one of the first artists to be signed by Tesco Organisation. B. Moloch is the man behind the project, often helped by Genocide Organ’s frontman Wilhelm Herich, therefore Anenzephalia are sometimes refered to as a side-project of Genocide Organ, even if actually they are not. Their music is a powerful well-structured industrial power-electronics with menacing brutal vocals. On stage Anenzephalia are threatening and disturbing, assaulting the audience with wall of noises and blinding strobe lights.
