A long-lasting cooperation becomes a commercial partnership: Ionium Records merges with Xenobiotic Records and distributes all releases on the authority of afmusic with immediate effect. Henceforth, Ionium Records’ founder Thomas Teehaa and Falk Merten, the founder of afmusic, will be responsible for A&R, promotion and the artist’s support service. Disributions as well as arrangements of Ionium Records will be managed by afmusic. Consequently, Germany’s most innovative subcultural record labels will be unified under one umbrella of Danse Macabre.

Together, afmusic and Ionium Records use the advantages of the World Wide Web, which bands as well as fans can benefit from: bands have the chance to promote and distribute their music professionally and contemporary – fans have the free choice between a wide range of more than 50 releases and are able to listen to all offered songs in complete length for free.

afmusic is Germany’s most innovative subcultural record label and leading address for newcomer’s net-releases regarding the music genres Wave, Gothic and Independent. The label was founded simultaneously to one of Germany’s most popular subcultural net-radios and has literally rocketed during the past year, with more than 50 releases. From now on, afmusic’s mastermind Falk Merten organizes and distributes Ionium Records as afmusic’s affiliated label.

Ionium Records’ music genre remains the same: Ionium Records continues representing the distribution of innovative electronic music, with focus on the dark culture and offers a wide and increasing range of EBM, Industrial, Ambient and Synthpop, which will be expanded based on the consolidation with Xenobiotic.

From 1st September 2009, the entire back-catalogue can be found on the new Ionium Records website. Moreover, a lot of new releases foreshadow the dark culture. The upcoming releases are already quite promising. In addition to the new release of the successful debut “Strangled Voices” by IN VEIN (side-project of Gothminister’s keyboarder Tom Kalstad) and a new album from EGOamp published by Ionium Records, 3 single-releases of Halo Effect at once are in the starting blocks.

By this year’s end, numerous new releases will be available on both labels. The net-labels of the Danse Macabre Group offer new bands and fresh sounds via home delivery. It is worth throwing a glance at and bookmark: www.ionium-records.info

Two years after their debut album “New Romantic Industry” was released, Halo Effect are very happy to announce that they’re coming back with a new studio album. The second album is called “The Fourth Zone” and will be released on 11/01/2009 as digital download at all common download stores like iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Rapshody, eMusic, etc. A CD-copy of the album will only be available as limited edition at their live gigs, which will start in October 2009.

The new album is very powerful, strong and dark, orientated on Synthpop / EBM / Industrial with more up-tempo songs on it: The music and the lyrics create a perfect mix, a deep and strange atmosphere influenced by the tragic days regarding of the Nuclear Reactor explosion in Chernobyl in 1986, until these difficult days today in which the people live over there.

But The Fourth Zone is not only the physical zone where the reactor is located: by analyzing the other side of the tragedy one can see a rebirth of life, a place which is no longer contaminated by human life: a pure world – a place where nature is recovering space and life – a new beginning.

The Fourth Zone could also be considered as the darkest place inside of us all: where we put anguish, suffering, disappointment, fragility and all broken dreams and hopes – which we don’t want to show or share – inside, like a hidden place of the soul, where we take refuge in the saddest moments of our life…in hope to find the forces going ahead.

But it could even be considered as a probable photo of the world one can forsee in the near future, if the humans continue destroying this dying planet.

In conclusion, this album offers several different points of reflection, this is a conceptual album speaking about the past, the present and the future.

1. Scram
