The new volume of the tribute series, Honoris, is dedicated to another great band of the scene: deathrock pioneers Christian Death<\/strong> and their late frontman Rozz Williams. Among the bands called up are some of our favourites such as Years of Denial<\/strong>, electronic music artist Judith Juillerat<\/strong> and HIV<\/strong>+, the label boss himself. The selection includes tracks from Catastrophe Ballet<\/em>, Only Theater of Pain <\/em>and Ashes<\/em> but also some not so well known songs. It is available as a download and in a nice CD edition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pedro Pe\u00f1as y Robles, owner of the label and better known as HIV+<\/strong> takes the intro “Excommunicamus” and makes it danceable. Judith Juillerat<\/strong>, who we hope will release a new album soon, presents a haunting “Stairs (Uncertain Journey)” while Years of Denial<\/strong> sound better than ever on “Cervix Couch” and remind us that we have to buy their latest Suicide Disco II<\/em> as soon as possible. Der Himmel \u00dcber Berlin<\/strong>, an Italian band who have released on the Franco-Spanish label, take a more respectful approach to their version, although they manage to give it some of their personality. We know the duo Swesor Bhrater<\/strong> from these compilations. They have recorded a theatrical and sinister version of “Stairs” quite different from Judith’<\/strong>s. France’s Yannick Rault and his project Closed Mouths<\/strong> maintain the sense of drama of “The Blue Hour”, and at times, even intensifies it. Dreamscape Invocation<\/strong> using low vocals and sharp guitars deliver a sickly “Figurative Theatre” that doubles the length of the original. S\u00e9bastien Faits Divers<\/strong> together with Diamond Dog<\/strong> have made a faithful version of “Romeo Distress”, the band’s greatest hit and the biggest classic of the genre. Baron Fant\u00f4me<\/strong>‘s “Skeleton Kiss” is also quite faithful with a bit more drama and solemnity in the vocal parts. Stranger Dreams<\/strong> released an album last year on Unknown Pleasures that you can listen to if you like their cover. Here they bring a curious version of “Halos” with a long intro and a bit more mysterious. Estonians Forgotten Sunrise<\/strong> present a dark and somewhat slower version of “When I was Bed” with a spoken part. We hear for the first time Lunar Paths<\/strong> who deliver a personal version of “Spectre” and to finish, Lonsai Ma\u00efkov<\/strong> bring “The Angels” closer to their folksy and angsty terrain. Now let’s wait for volume V.<\/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
