Head over to @monolithcocktail and @kalporz for a video premiere of @hallelujah_band’s 'Minipony' Enjoy the dog love. Hallelujah! sound like a retro-synth scuzzed chaos, fit for the dungeon dancefloor; a remolded sleazy spasm of Mute Records, DAF, Peter Kernel and The Pop Group. The erratic megaphone hailed fuzzed-up and bleeping abused ‘Minipony’ has been granted an equally diy style video. Directed insanely by Andrew Tee, this dog’s dinner of a weird set-up tells the tail of the love between one man and his canine pal. +++++++++++++++++++ Otto tracce senza respiro tra ossessive allucinazioni psicotiche che guardano al mondo di Alan Vega, atmosfere post-industrial e una scarica di energia quasi “electro” fanno di “Wanna Dance”, registrato al Dirty Sound, uno dei lavori italiani più d’impatto di inizio anno. #mapledeathrecords #hallelujah!

FERA's 'Funeral Flute' from the upcoming 'Stupidamutaforma' premiered over at @invertedaudio. Out tomorrow, this record is insane. '...a cut of dark magic that fits like a glove to overcast days... Scurrying modular-esque whirrings pass overhead, giving the track a club-ready push of energy without detracting from the isolationist sensibilities.' #fera #stupidamutaforma #mapledeathrecords #mdr036 (at The Southern Mystic) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8yaHEWn49e/?igshid=115r8pdncrfvj

It's tough to return to music today but Fera's beautiful 'Stupidamutaforma' is @bandcamp’s Album Of The Day with an incredible review. "Stupidamutaforma establishes De Franco as a composer who uses space and time to create a set of rich, immersive works. Hopefully, it won’t take a decade for him to come up with more." #fera #mapledeathrecords #mdr036 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8bXLtCHXFD/?igshid=1slwh6trd6vb1

@thewiremagazine reviews Hallelujah!'s upcoming 'Wanna Dance' in the February issue. Splendid one mates! 💪🏻 'Everything about this band is a dare: the trolling cover art, the no f's given song titles, the scratch ‘n' sniff postpunk unafraid to skidmark deep into the red.The ideal MC for such insanity, frontman/synthesizer player Giacomo ‘Scoia’ Berardo’s vocal dissembling is as incendiary as the surrounding music... #mapledeathrecords #hallelujah! #thewire https://www.instagram.com/p/B7i0SBAooWG/?igshid=l4i6cldscttx

Ecstatic to finally share our next release 'Stupidamutaforma' (MDR036) by experimental electronic composer FERA, alias of illustrator Andrea De Franco. Head over to @xlr8r_official to hear opening track 'Stupida'. Full release out Feb 21st. 'A deep journey into synthesis and metamorphose through psychedelic shape-shifting electronic songs dumbed down to incapsulate grime, errors, terrestrial bleeps and pulsating techno.'

Head over to @thisisransomnote to see Hallelujah!'s video for 'Your Duck' by Tab_ularasa from the upcoming LP 'Wanna Dance'. "This place had become unbearable, an inescapable prison that engulfed and suffocated. Perhaps they needed to break away a long time ago and try something different, but sometimes it's easier to revel in failure, to continue in the same way as before."

Ending 2019 on a high note... we are incredibly happy to present our next zine 'Buonasera Monogamia Vol II' an incredible 50-page journey by the uber-talented Irene Montemurro (@motenmruro). Buonasera Monogamia vol. II is a collection of short stories about different characters who belong to the same narrative universe, made of sweaty bodies, seductive textures and cold nocturnal landscapes. Questions around the awkwardness of love, intimacy, loneliness and sex arise from the heavily inked pages but remain intentionally unresolved. Grab a copy before they fly out on our @bandcamp merch shop.

Deep @slaylor_moon review over at @thequietus for 'Zone Of Pure Resistance'. 'Zone of Pure Resistance is an uncanny yet beguiling album that underneath the layers of shady sounds, holds you in close and whispers directly into your subconsciousness. It’s music for those quiet moments in the dark or when you want to commune to the visions that exist inside your own head.’ #mapledeathrecords #slaylormoon #mdr032 (at Outer Space) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3mJUlllg9W/?igshid=zrwqf7j4onga
