MODUL8 – Corpse Sonata, Vol. I
Album | 02/10/2025
46:25 | 14 tracks | Digital
Curbstep / Trap
Amsterdam, Netherlands
In a unique way, MODUL8‘s debut album shows that it is necessary to destroy old structures in order to build something new. This longplayer is not only a burial of music from the past, it is a complete destruction, and it is a sonata sung for the corpses of the past. MODUL8 deconstructs, murders, even digests old sounds before exploding as a volcano spewing bodies, fire, and the new wave of music. Corpse Sonata, Vol. I is a beast of an album, a massive declaration of war against endless repetition and redundance. Amidst a high voltage field of tension between boom bap, trap, dubstep, trap, or phonk, a ball lightning of a new style was born: this is curbstep!
Catalus – معا للابد (produced by Chris Pellnat)
Single | 01/10/2025
3:26 | Digital
Singer Songwriter / Indie Pop
Casablanca, Morocco
This gentle tune is a sheer hurricane of emotions, progressive sounds, and energy born from binary oppositions. Traditional instruments of North Africa join an elegant dance with elements of European and North American pop music while Catalus tells this thrilling love story. Between folklore and modernity, a dramatic tale of curiousity and trust arises. With an eloquently played qanun in the back, Catalus tells of a first kiss that proves love, a second which secures the bond, and a third one that brings the happy couple Together Forever (معا للابد). And like that, معا للابد stands for one love, one world, one chance, and a heartful embrace of the beauty that life has to offer.
CowboyZ – We Are Here As One
Album | 13/09/2025
35:16 | 8 tracks
Modern Metal / Heavy Metal
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Slovenian metal warriors CowboyZ are here to catapult heavy music into new spheres. And when they act, they operate as a legion, as a united force, as an unbreakable power. We Are Here As One is a broad-shouldered, confident, and solid declaration of an immortal sound. Taking influences from more traditional sounds such as heavy metal, groove or thrash metal, and mixing them with modern sounds like metalcore or alternative metal, CowboyZ unite several generations of metal fans. But in the end, it is the final twist, the secret CowboyZ recipe, this golden ratio between harsh riffs and melodic chants that makes We Are Here As One such a great and unique album. The legions of modern heavy metal are here, and they are ready to take over!
