WEATNU'S SYNTHESIS NOIR: A NEW LABEL FOR A NEW ERA

The amazing Almark Thaolen and his wondrous WEATNU (We Are The New Underground) are starting a pioneering label, Synthesis Noir. Almark references Synthesis Noir as a splicing of "Cold Wave and digital wires," and it's set to expand beyond even that curious description, with its contents aimed to please connoisseurs of industrial, electro and EBM. Such will spotlight both established and fledgling artists. 

For further details on Synthesis Noir and what it hopes to achieve, one can (and should) read Almark's revealing, WEATNU article. Out of convenience, the article even allows artists to answer the essential call to submit their daring, experimental compositions for Almark's discriminating review. For the sake of Synthesis Noir's nourishment, the more who enter, the better:

It should also be noted that, as a tangent to Synthesis Noir's advent, Almark's WEATNU digital magazine continues to carry its atmospheric stream of offbeat, SoundCloud artists, which includes such revered names as Mike Brunacini, Ministry, NIN, Severed Heads, Skinny Puppy and Throbbing Gristle. These scene-stealing, avant-garde composers/musicians have ascended into a higher-consciousness uniqueness, and here's a scoop: A portion of the coaxing content will be live! That means WEATNU followers will experience their favorite artists transmitting their foreboding yet transcendental vibes straight from their cozy chambers, or dank dungeons as the case may be. (Right now, the haunting AR89 appears to be the initial guest queued to perform via this exhilarating format.)

The live element is, of course, only a smidgeon of WEATNU's lofty, long-term venture, with it all bouncing back to newcomer, Synthesis Noir. For example, the electrowave-bent StatusOblique will be featured on Synthesis Noir. In addition, contributors from WEATNU's "guitar post-punk" Transmission Nova, such as the Tangerine Dream-ish newcomer, Combover Beethoven, will cross over into Synthesis Noir. To rephrase, Synthesis Noir will be geared, cogged and spooled to give the exploratory, music scene (whether it be dark electro, industrial, ambient, EBM or Goth) an uninhibited intimacy which, up to this point, has remained virtually untouched.

In the meantime, WEATNU will continue to treat fans to its specialized recordings, interviews and articles, which aren't available anywhere else--and that'll include all things related to Synthesis Noir's budding proliferation. 

So, please, do your eyes and ears (not to mention, your heart and soul) a well deserved favor and sign on. And if you're an artist, reach out! Almark would love to hear from you--hear, that is, the special sounds you've concocted. 

If you're, indeed, interested in joining WEATNU's motley crew of dark, synthesis artists, the process is free; so click below or just copy/paste if the click doesn't click 😉:

WEATNU (WE ARE THE NEW UNDERGROUND): THE FOREMOST SOURCE IN AUDIO REVOLT

 

Bizarrechats readers take note! Almark's electronic, avant-garde core, WEATNU (We Are The New Underground), lives and breathes and has been doing so since Summer 2014. 

The online WEATNU magazine is reflective of Almark's queue of great, underground artists, who've supplied some of the best in experimental, Soundcloud compositions. We're talking the likes of grand, electronic and Goth mixtures, of NIN, Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Severed Heads and Ministry. Without such exploratory groups (and their staggering ensembles), which dare to plunge "beyond the algorithm", the world wouldn't sound anywhere near as satisfying to those in the unwonted know. 

It's an accepted fact that WEATNU manifested to butt allegorical heads with the noxious mainstream. That, in itself, makes the WEATNU movement an escapist essential, a Kerouac-ian, subterranean platform for forward-thinking creators and the ideal force for deflecting the maddening, skip-to-the-collective mundane in favor of unshackled creativity. 

Almark is essential in this way, too, for he's The Sorcerer Supreme and grandmaster genius behind the avant-garde magic, a Paracelsus Pied Piper who attracts only the most audacious artists.  

Please, if only for your own, intellectual empowerment, enter the WEATNU site to reap its vast, provocative gems. Almark offers an entrancing, euphoric overview on WEATNU's history, plus a hint of ambitions yet to come. But there's even more, as in a plethora of recordings, interviews and articles that have no choice but to expand and entrench all intrinsic horizons. 

Engage and learn right here and now (and even well beyond that) at
