« Grab life by the horns! ». Four years after Breathe In/Out, the endearing indie rock trio Lysistrata is making a comeback by releasing a new single 'Horns' today! Driven by a songwriting charged with emotion and melodies, the band sublimates its pop creativity with flexibility and sincerity, without ever hiding the explosive energy that has made its dazzling reputation. 'Horns' is the first extract from Lysistrata’s upcoming new album, produced by New-Yorker Ben Greenberg (Metz, Algiers, Beach Fossils, DIIV, etc.), which will be released in early 2024 on Vicious Circle. The perfect comeback we've all been waiting for. Video directed by Milo Dumartin.
"Horns est le premier morceau qui a été écrit pour cet album, il nous a permis de se retrouver et de créer à nouveau ensemble, d’avancer plus librement. On a voulu partager un sentiment de solidarité, de positivité, faire un hymne qu’on peut tous chanter ensemble, soudés." LYSISTRATA
"Le clip symbolise un processus de guérison, une quête de liberté intérieure. C'est un voyage vers le lâcher-prise, vers ce refrain entêtant que l'on reprend en choeur, sans se préoccuper du regard des autres." Milo Dumartin (réalisateur clip)

This fifth studio effort from French heavy psychedelic stalwarts MARS RED SKY is a genuine conceptual piece of work skilfully designed to take the listener on a journey through a shifting, unpredictable and even utterly disconcerting sonic universe. Bordeaux-based trio explore progressive and post-metal territories with boundless inspiration. Their original signature of jagged vocals and thundering rhythm is spiced up by drones and various mid-kraut rock and mid-gothic effects. The atmospheres and settings are finely crafted, with Julien Pras's voice adding a delicious pop languor. The music is the master of the narrative here, absorbing all the components of the album and shaping them into a kind of reversible allegory, as appealing as disturbing. The tour de force of Dawn Of The Dusk lies in its ability to carve out a unique creative sphere in which you can't help but marvel.

The beast is now available in all good record stores as well as on our online store on vinyl, red vinyl (limited edition) and digipak CD.

'Dawn Of The Dusk': the beginning and the end are one. Mirror effects, reversals, double-dealing, deterioration...

Bordeaux-based trio explore progressive and post-metal territories with boundless inspiration.

Belgian noise rock tornado with a fearsome live reputation, It It Anita is ushering in a brand new era with Mouche. The quartet has transformed into a power trio, placing efficiency at the core of their art, and delivering an album of unapologetic freedom. As Michaël Goffard (vocals/guitar) emphasizes, "It's not that we don't care, it's that we're going all in!". Produced by Amaury Sauvé (Birds in Row).
In celebration of their ten years of existence and constancy on the European indie roads, the most endearing Belgian rockers IT IT ANITA are back and today publish Don't Bend (my friend), a amazing new single that also announces a new album to be released this fall on Vicious Circle! Massive and precise production produced by one of the references of the genre Amaury Sauvé, Don't Bend (my friend) and its aggressive noise rock can be discovered on digital platforms, as well via its restrospective/memory video edited by Guillaume Van Ngoc.
Long live the next ten years of IT IT ANITA! More details about the new album and many concerts will be announced in the coming weeks.
'10 years since It It Anita was born. A decade, hundreds of shows, and a few line-up changes later, we've never been more eager to release new music and go back on tour. Many thanks to Damien, Christophe, François and Mika for everything they brought to the band, thanks to Guillaume, Philippe and everyone at Vicious Circle, to all the music professionals around us who believed in the project and supported it, thanks to all the great music bands we met on the road. But mostly, thank YOU, who have been following us and listening to our music & coming to our shows for ten years now.' - IT IT ANITA

When the power of psychedelic heavy meets the depth of dark folk harmonies, it results in a complex and exhilarating flavor. The daring combination opens up the genres to a whole new dimension. MARS RED SKY's new EP, soberly entitled Mars Red Sky & Queen Of The Meadow, exalts and enhances the trio's magic formula: namely, the blend of a robust and determined rhythm section with jagged and ambitious vocals, all evolving within a unique soundscape. The two tracks of the record suggest a disturbing journey through an immense maze directly inspired by mad architect Piranesi and his towers with terrifying staircases. Real melodic narrative, Queen Of The Meadow's vocals carve out an unexpected intensity. MARS RED SKY offers here an abyssal production, polished and unheard of. Note that the gem was mastered by Lad Agabekov, metalcore unit Nostromo's bassist.
Pink Color Surgery, the third and new album by The Psychotic Monks is out today! Produced by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band, the album is available everywhere on digital, CD, black double vinyl and pink double vinyl (Vicious Circle limited edition). Also available on our online store, here.
