French label Unknown Pleasures has released a new tribute compilation, this time dedicated to one of the bands that started this story we love so much:\u00a0Bauhaus<\/strong>. Taking advantage of the fact that I was recently able to see them live, I’m going to tell you about this new tribute.\u00a0Honoris III<\/em>\u00a0features some classic names from the label, such as\u00a0Blind Delon<\/strong>,\u00a0La Main<\/strong>, Kill Shelter<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Judith Juillerat<\/strong>, all of them creators of interesting albums that we would also like to recommend to you.<\/span><\/p>

French act\u00a0Versari<\/strong>, another of the bands that have released on the label, opens the compilation with a very personal version of “Terror Couple Kill Colonel”, with killer guitars slightly attenuated by a sound more typical of English rock bands. The song, one of the band’s most original, has its experimental part, which Versari<\/strong>\u00a0adapts in their own way.\u00a0SFD and Diamond Dog<\/strong>\u00a0perform a gloomy and powerful version of “In The Flat Field”.\u00a0Opium Dream State<\/strong>, whom we have been getting to know thanks to these tributes, get solemn with their “Double Dare”. It is curious to find here\u00a0The Married Monk<\/strong>, a French group closer to indie rock, who present a heartfelt interpretation of “Who Killed Mister Moonlight” on piano and with electronic touches. Although the vocals remind me of the great\u00a0Peter Murphy<\/strong>,\u00a0Kill Shelter<\/strong>\u00a0manage to make their version of the classic “She’s in Parties” their own.\u00a0Selfishadows<\/strong>, another recurring name on the label’s tributes, offer us a danceable version of “Kick in the Eye”, while\u00a0Swesor Bhrater<\/strong>, on the other hand, brings “King Volcano” closer to his strange neo-folk world with an original interpretation. While we anxiously await\u00a0Judith Juillerat<\/strong>‘s new album, we can content ourselves with this ethereal version of “Hollow Hills”, which is quite good.<\/span>
Years of Denial<\/strong>, a duo we like a lot, take on “All we ever wanted is Everything” and like everything they play they do something unique, passionate and at the same time cool.\u00a0Crystalline Stricture<\/strong>\u00a0were not very well known to me and here, together with\u00a0McIntyre<\/strong>, they offer an electronic version of “Swing The Heartache” with a carefully crafted atmosphere. French EBM band\u00a0La Main<\/strong>, another of our favourites, take on “The Three shadows part 2” and enhance the tension of the original. I was curious to see what approach a group with so many faces as\u00a0Blind Delon<\/strong>\u00a0would take to “Mask” and on this occasion they are relatively faithful.\u00a0Chris Shape<\/strong>\u00a0teams up with the singer from\u00a0Velvet Kills<\/strong>\u00a0for an electronic version of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” with a thrilling passage. One of the best of the tribute.\u00a0Radikal Kuss<\/strong>\u00a0participates with “Dark Entries”, a cover in their own electronic vein, although less frenetic than the material they recently released in Barro. Continuing with national labels, Soil Records boss\u00a0Soj<\/strong>, together with\u00a0Petra Flurr<\/strong>\u00a0on vocals, produce a powerful “Lagartija Nick”. Next up is Carlos Mar\u00edn, better known as\u00a0Mynationshi<\/strong>t, who collaborates with\u00a0From Hell<\/strong>, journalist and promoter with Mots Music. Together they perform “Slice of life” in a more darkwave vibe. Greek producer\u00a0Alpha Sect<\/strong>\u00a0(whose reference on Soil I would like to recommend you) offers a powerful version of “Dark Entries” that we think is one of the best on the album. And finally,\u00a0Edgar’s Dream<\/strong>‘s cover of “Hollow Hills” highlights the tribal sound that Kevin Haskins brought to the band.<\/span><\/p>

If you liked the other two Honoris (dedicated to the\u00a0Sisters of Mercy<\/strong>\/The Sisterhood<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Death In June<\/strong>) you’ll like this one too. In it we find several names that repeat, something normal being Unknown Pleasures a label with a great predominance of post-punk and gothic rock, although in this one we miss some collaboration with\u00a0HIV+<\/strong>. The artists attending the tribute show great respect at all times and we don’t doubt that they have been fans of the band from Northampton. In addition, the line-up includes some of our favourite artists of the last few years, so we could hardly like the selection more. And finally, the tribute manages to remind us what a great band\u00a0Bauhaus<\/strong>\u00a0was\/is and will be.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
