| New Prometheus Burning song featured on Generation RX vol.2 compilation! |

Back in 2002, the record label No Room For Talent released a very limited cassette compilation entitled Generation RX. Each copy was dubbed and packaged by hand, and featured some of the most known, and unknown Breakcore and Experimental Electronic artists of that time. This release quickly became legendary and very coveted by collectors. Original copies have been known to sell for over $100. Now here in the year 2009, No Room For Talent out does itself once again with the long anticipated sequel Generation RX vol.2. Preorders available now, no prescription needed. See the blurb below:
“The roots of destruction have tunneled long into the womb of the land, reaching into the very essence of the world, leaving all things scorched and barren. Passersby look down in shame at what was, should never and... will never be again. Life has no meaning but to continue on a road that only sorrow knows. As men falter and bury themselves in the dust, it is but the dying generation who will know the truth behind the lies.
"Keep taking your pills. How long can we swallow."“

We have uploaded some pictures of our performance during The Atrocity Exhibition, and some of the other fetish performances throughout the night. Many thanks to Morose & Macabre, and Distortion Productions for putting this event together. We had an amazing time performing as well as spectating. Everyone involved, from the artists to the performers, from the vendors to the staff, gave it their all and made the night one worth remembering here in Pittsburgh.
We also took two video's of The Hook is Family and their flesh suspension performances:

| Plague called huMANity review - Side-Line |
|

mood: thankful music: Aphex Twin - Taking Control
|
Another review of Plague called huMANity popped up today, this time from Side-Line! They misspelled VanEck's name a couple times, but beyond that it is a positively radiant review! Check it:
It’s always heartwarming for a reviewer when a band comes into their own, and Prometheus Burning have done so in spades with “Plague Called HuMANity”. While their rhythmic noise roots are hardly forgotten, there’s an occult twinkle in this duo’s eyes that’s akin to Skinny Puppy at their most arcane… and yet they manage to never feel ‘retro’ while clearly citing such influences. Their cover of Ministry’s seminal “You Know What You Are” may conclude this disc, yet it’s sinister bass synth descendant supercedes and emphasizes this sonic lineage in “Blackmagick Tongue”, where Nikki Telladictorian’s nasal cries and a stuttering typewriter beats tangle with crusty film samples and cawing metallic synths. Still, even when Telladictorian’s Kali-like presence remains absent, her partner Greg VenEch proves even his hoarse whispers can leave moments like the crackling, snare-chewing “Realm Of Thee Divine” equally haunting. Though Telladictorian certainly dominates this disc, all of ProBurn’s best features can be found in “Ouroboros Deathride”, an epicenter which allows VenEch’s hypnotic hiss, Telladictorian’s pointed wails, and fuzzy analog disco riffs to coalesce into a catchy morsel of controlled chaos. While there seems to be a general renaissance of electronic bands vying for intelligence over club marketability, “Plague Called HuMANity” is even exceptional in that esteemed field.

mood: thankful music: Synapscape - Hormona

We just stumbled upon this rather positive review of our album "Plague called huMANity" by Hard Wired. They also had some good words to say about Crunch Pod too. Check it out:
The Crunch Pod label has, it seems, cornered the market in nearly-but-not-quite experimental releases that are accessible enough to have a (fairly) wide appeal & yet are always surprising & offbeat enough to keep you on your toes. This release, from the duo of Nikki Telladictorian & Greg VanEck, is probably the best example I've heard of how successful a refusal to play by the rules can be with a style that is by turns inventively rhythmic, abstract, darkly atmospheric & overtly melodic while Nikki's equally unique effected vocals add an almost punky edge. This is best borne out by 'Realm Of Thee Divine' where a number of disparate elements are combined, like an imperfect musical jigsaw, to make for a feel that is offbeat yet ultimately accessible enough for anyone who's not expecting anything too easy-on-the-ear. The preceding title track offers another demonstration of how to sound innovative without any rampant experimentalism while 'Deluge', likewise, moves through a number of changes, from its abstract atmopsheric opening, through a cacophonous rhythmic barrage & on to an almost majestic latter half, although the continuing underlying rhythmic cascade provides a strong counterpoint as well as a continual impetus. In contrast, 'Genovese Syndrome' offers an altogether harsher aspect with some muscular rhythms providing a potent backbone for some scything lead sounds. Having said that, a bit of patience is in order as the opening double header of 'The Box (Whispers From Within)' & 'Mother Of Abominations' come across as clever rather than enjoyable, not really setting the world alight & it's only with the mutated guitar riffs that form the basis of 'Blackmagick Tongue' that really engage the mind. This is probably the closest that the original tracks get to their stated Ministry influence, although there's also a cover of 'You Know What You Are' which is actually on track 69, at the end of the album (I'm guessing, or should that be hoping, there's some reason beyond the obvious for this!), offering a satisfying closer by combining an assertive bassline with steady, strong supporting rhythms in a manner that characterized a number of tracks, not least. But for all these accessible moments that innovative edge is still present to keep you from becoming too complacent with 'The Weeping And Gnashing Of Teeth' sounding like a mutated old-skool synthpop track put through the industrial grinder while the short piano-led interlude that is 'False Prophets' leads directly into 'Confronting Pandora' which seems to be the duo's one concession to dancefloor considerations, coming closest to the the popular electro sound with a typically dancey, synthetic feel but while it may get them widespread dancefloor appeal the album offers far more than that, striking the perfect blend between the innovative & the accessible.

- Schizophrenia 4 weekend was intense to say the least. It's been a few days now, and it seems like everyone involved is finally coming back down to reality and starting to absorb the immensity of it all. It's been a "tagging frenzy" on Facebook as everyone has been posting pictures, video's, and blog entries trying to break it all down into easy to swallow chunks of jagged chaos. We have uploaded some pics and vids, and was trying to think of a way to write about it without typing a small novel... but then just today Surachai of Trash Audio posted a video that we feel says it all for us. His video even captured some brief footage of the police raid... this is the only footage, except for the clip of In Broken Key getting arrested, that we are aware of. Some of us had our camera's/phones out... but when they started beating and threatening everyone with glocks, batons, and pepper spray, that changed a lot of minds about trying to record anything real quick. So yeah, watch and experience what hardcore electronic music is all about... I don't think any of us know for sure exactly what that is... but whatever it is, it's all contained and encrypted within this video:

Thank you so much Philly. The Digital Ferret show was a blast. It was great to see so many familiar faces, some from as far as New Jersey and NYC. It was equally great to see so many new faces and make some new friends. We experimented with a few new things during our performance, and it seemed to have been very well received. Many, many thank you's to all who donated and bought merch. We can't express how much we appreciate it. Also many thanks to Joe, Dean, Brandon, and the rest of the Digital Ferret crew for having us, and for all of your hospitality. We wish you much success with your future fourth Friday events. Last but certainly not least, thank you to DJ Constantine, Rise of Because, and Paul Romano for sharing your art, music, and vision. Everyone's efforts made the evening a very inspiring and entertaining one, and the audience who filled the store and graced us with an open ear made it all worthwhile.

mood:  indifferent music: Broken Note - Let'Em Hang
|
- First of all, we'd like to say THANKS! to the people who have been purchasing/downloading our music from our Bandcamp site. With the proceeds we've made from Bandcamp during the last few weeks, we were able to get more T-Shirts pressed, as well as print a bunch of promo cards featuring some incredible artwork by Kallisti Design (the same folks who designed our poster for the IT AINT DEAD YET tour). The cards have artwork and info for Prometheus Burning on one side, Four Pi Movement on the other. As always, any money we make from our music goes right back into the music. Your support is much appreciated.
- In case you missed it, we have more T-Shirts and Girly Tanks in stock! All orders from last week and during the weekend have been mailed out as of this morning, so you should be receiving them soon. We are now out of the 2XL's, and only have two XL's left in stock. Check out the design and purchasing info here: http://www.prometheus-burning.com/?p=591
- We have a show coming up this week in Philly at Digital Ferret as part of their fourth Friday noise and art event series. This will be a rather noisy show from us this time around, and we will be experimenting with some newer material. View the flyer and event info here: http://www.prometheus-burning.com/?p=589
- We are doing a last minute gig in Kent Ohio next week on Thursday, September 3rd, at the Pre-Pre-Schizophrenia 4 event. Details will be posted soon.
- We were recently interviewed by Alex for Rivet Head Radio 90.5 WUSC FM in South Carolina. The interview aired on August 11th, and is now available as MP3 in two parts for your listening pleasure:
ProBurn-RivetHeadRadioInterview-Part1.mp3
ProBurn-RivetHeadRadioInterview-Part2.mp3
- Much progress is being made with our next 12inch record. If all continues to go well, we hope to have production finished by the end of September. The tentative title is "Displacement Disorder". We think fans of our "Retribution" album will greatly enjoy the direction this current record is traveling.
Thank you for listening. |

We will be performing not only Prometheus Burning material, but Four Pi Movement material as well, blending together elements of improvised Power Electronics and Industrial.
Things are going to be rather noisy... |

- Last month we mentioned a possible tour for August. This has been postponed. We had a few gigs already confirmed which we were very excited about, but we simply have not had enough time to organize an entire South/West Coast tour on such short notice. We are going to hold off until we can give ourselves and promoter's proper time to prepare. We hope to do a stretch out West and down South sometime before the year is over... it's just not going to happen as soon as August like we originally wanted!
- We are currently seeking gigs for one-off shows during the months of August, September, and October. This is not limited to just the East Coast or even the United States! For once our schedule is fairly open for the next 3 months and we are available for long distance and over seas shows. If you want to see us perform in your city and know of any promoters, spread the word. If any promoters reading this would be interested in booking us, please contact us at: prometheus.burning [at] gmail.com
- This week we confirmed two upcoming gigs that will be very extraordinary: Philly show at Digital Ferret in August, and a Fetish / Art Gallery related Pittsburgh show at The Rex in September. Details and flyers for both of these shows will be coming soon.
- Another batch of Plague called huMANity T-shirts and Girly Tanks are being printed this month! The design will be the same as featured on the shirts we were selling during the It Ain't Dead Yet tour. We will have them in time for the Digital Ferret show.
- All of our albums are now digitally available (for cheap or free!) on our BandCamp site: prometheusburning.bandcamp.com. BandCamp is fairly new, and if you are unfamiliar with it, check it out! The site is currently free for us to host our music on, allow listeners to stream entire tracks, and offer multiple high quality digital formats. The best part is, if you buy our music there the proceeds go directly to us! No middlemen involved to nickel and dime us to death. No iTunes taking a cut or digital distributor fees or any of that shit. Out of all the options we've looked into over the years, this is by far the best for digital sales and interactions between fans and bands to show support and gratitude to each other... there is no telling how long it will last though. They may start changing things or charging fees, so get it while the getting is good.
- We are not available for shows during labor day weekend because we will be getting busy at little get together called Schizophrenia 4 along with a few friends and associates... you might have heard about it. No, we are not performing there this year. We are still trying to regain our sanity from last years. Just going to escape this Summer of broken dreams and step out into the void where nothing is true and everything is permitted:

| Update about the Industrial Cancer compilation |
|
|
| 02:51am 20/06/2009 |
| |
mood: grateful
|
Due out this Fall is a 4 Disc Industrial compilation entitled: ELECTRONIC
SAVIORS: Industrial Music To Cure Cancer. Jim Semonik, the frontman of
EBM band Rein[Forced] (currently on DSBP records) is the creator of this
amazing compilation
As some of you may have read back in November, Semonik was diagnosed in
Spring of 08 with Colorectal Cancer. Though devastated by this news, he went
on to fight the disease within him with everything he had. After a year of
pain, suffering, and medical treatment, Semonik finally overcame the disease
and is now in the final stages of recovery. To raise awareness about Cancer,
Semonik decided to put together a compilation consisting of many great names
from the Industrial genre. Furthermore, all the proceedings generated by
the compilation would be given to a charitable organization devoted to
curing Cancer.
And now, after months of work, the compilation is near completion. What's
more, is that this compilation consists of nothing but EXCLUSIVE AND NEW tracks and mixes from all the artists involved! Semonik is now in negotiation with several major Industrial labels to release and distribute
this comp, as well as in negotiation with various charitable organizations
who would receive all the proceedings generated by the compilation
Below is the list of confirmed artists contributing to the
compilation and the discs on which they appear. Note that these artists

- Working on organizing a South / West Coast tour for early August! We will be traveling with other fellow Pittsburgh experimental electronic artists. In no particular order, the tentative band roster is:
Prometheus Burning (Crunch Pod, Hive, Thac0)
Xanopticon (Hymen, Zhark, Mutant Sniper)
8Cylinder (Mode of Proof, Rhinoplex)
Vasculator (Void Tactical Media, also member of ProBurn)
Nothing has been set in stone yet... we are still figuring out the logistics of it all, what cities and dates. If any promoters down South or West Coast are interested, please email us to talk about things further.
- Combated in the 6th annual Galactic Assdragon Classic laptop battle last night. Saw many friends and familiar faces from all over the place. Contestants came from Ohio, Detroit, and even as far as Chicago. We plan to continue working on the tracks we used in the battle to lay down on our next 12" record. These tracks lean pretty far into the area of Dubstep. We wanted to experiment with mixing styles for the battle like we do every year, and this year focused on combining elements of Dubstep and Industrial. The end result was a very dark, heavy sound with much emphasis on complex basslines and sub frequencies... not "traditional" Dubstep by any means.
- We have been making much progress in the studio with the Four Pi Movement project. The first (and possibly only) release is coming together slowly but surely. Expect to see a very limited but unique package in the near future, containing these recording sessions and some other hand made art and creations conceptualized for this release. A new recording was added to the myspace page entitled "Without Reason or Justification".
- We recorded some vocals with Jim, aka DJ Hiem of the band Rein[Forced] for the Industrial Cancer Benefit compilation he is putting together. After months of work and changing things around, we are finally happy with our song and submitted the final version to him last week. Other artists that have submitted their songs so far are: 16 Volt, Alter Der Ruine, Molecule Party, Hype Factor, Everything Goes Cold, Interface, Assemblage 23, SD6, Backandtotheleft, System Syn, Caustic, XuberX, Jordan Decay, The Dark Clan, Encoder, Obscenity Trial, Boxed Warning, and a few more that I can't remember off the top of my head. Plus there are still a bunch more who have not finished just yet, but will be complete in time to meet the deadline. We are damn proud to contribute to this compilation, as well as to the cause, which is to raise money to help fight cancer, which all the proceeds will be going to... like how a REAL fundraiser compilation with a REAL purpose should do.
Also this compilation is not only raising money for the cause, it is also already raising awareness. The local media has been picking up on Jim and what he is doing, and recently did a report and interview of him. Check it out: http://kdka.com/video/?id=58023@kdka.dayport.com |
