Everything Goes Cold and XP8 present:
THE SQUIDHEAD LIBERATION FRONT featuring Battery Cage and Claire Voyant. WHAT TIME IS LOVE?

Special thanks to batterycage and blinkingtears for their vocal stylings.
This project was the culmination of a night of mad partying during my visit to structurefall in San Francisco in February. Then pi66y got to it. Then we started playing it live, and all hell broke loose.
This is a free download, however if you like it, please click one of the donate links, depending on your preferred mix. Whichever band's version makes more money in the next two weeks wins, and gets to gloat about it and lord it over the other for all time. And I wouldn't rule out more stuff like this in the future, if it goes well!

| EVERYTHING GOES COLD "Prepare To Be Refrigerated" (powered by XP8) |
[29 May 2008|12:27am] |
Like a crazed anthropomorphic refrigerator rampaging through a county fair, destroying everything in its path, Everything Goes Cold is in effect. They will steal your food, eat your house, and throw a raging kegger in your girlfriend. That's right, you heard me. Raging.
Five years after the untimely and unseemly demise of the Dorkwave Industrial/Folk catastrophe that was See Colin Slash, front man Eric Gottesman (formerly of Psyclon Nine, sometimes Ayria, occasionally Caustic, and possibly Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians) returns with a confusingly lengthy EP of all-new music. Drawing heavy influence from classic American Coldwave and Industrial Rock bands as well as a diverse sampling of new Industrial styles, Everything Goes Cold's rich vocal harmonies and pounding rhythms have been described by the elderly as "Too loud," "Noisy," and "Obnoxious."
Having called in favors from practically every respectable musician he's ever met (and several he hasn't), Gottesman has assembled a motley crew of the best remixers from Industrial Music's past and present, spawning more than an hour of music. Reinforced with production by Italian EBM funboys XP8 and just a hint of cinnamon, "Prepare To Be Refrigerated" will blow your goddamn mind, or at least drench it in saliva.
Available June 23, 2008, from Sonic Mainline Records whereever Industrial Music is sold. Brace yourself, and watch out for that fridge we mentioned earlier.
Free bonus remix by Electro-Industrial legend Out Out now available at www.everythinggoescold.com in the high quality lossless FLAC format, high-bitrate MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and 22khz MP2. Preorder the CD while you're there, or we'll make you feel guilty about it later.

We conquered the Dutch Alternative Charts!!!
The Art Of Revenge reaches the very top after just 2 weeks in the chart:

Download Me is still climbing in the Singles Charts, having gained another position, from #3 to #2:

Needless to say, we can't wait for April to be here already, so that we can meet the enthusiastic Dutch crowds in our shows in Utrecht (April 18th @ Ekko) and Alkmaar (April 19th @ Parkhof).
But there are more chart placements to announce... First of all, we are climbing the Deutsch Alternative Charts as well: our DJ Promo left the Bullets section and entered officially the charts at #17:

And last, but surely not least, we are currently at #10 in the sales charts of the American mailorder A DIFFERENT DRUM... check the chart here.
Here's an updated list of the mailorders carrying our new album:
MUSIC NON STOP (UK) INFRAROT (DE) INDIETECTIVE (DE) A DIFFERENT DRUM (US) METROPOLIS (US) ISOTANK (US) STORMING THE BASE (CA)
And yes, soon enough it will also be available on iTunes, Napster, and all the other major digital distribution websites!
