Last year Magic Kötti lived @Slash Zero Studio for a month and suddenly a call from the Sidewalk Surfers came in asking him for a guest feature... we just went right to work and opened pandora's box of Kötti's magic. Today their album "Growing Up Is A Mess" is released by Barhill Records, and you can listen to 'Passion' if you wanna hear epicness in the truest sense of the word.
Here's a fun little sneak preview of our upcoming Radio Haze album 'Strangers' recorded @Slash Zero Studio...
Some of you might know that Air and myself are in a band called Radio Haze and like almost all independent artists, we had to compensate for the cancelled shows this year and thus locked ourselves up at Slash Zero Studio and recorded a new album:
available as 40-page-hardcover-photobook in vinyl format (ca. 30x30cm)
incl. photography by analog-street-photographer: Ludwig Van Borkum
incl. 180g Vinyl
incl. CD
incl. HQ 24bit WAV Download
Audiophile Anti-Loudness-War Mastering
STRICTLY LIMITED TO 300 COPIES
100 in eco-color (your name in the book, hand-numbered, and signed)
200 in black
Unfortunately the corona-year ate up all our reserves (in true sense of the word), and without trabajo, no dinero... To help fund this just click here and pre-order the new album! (For an alternate 'old-school' way of ordering, please contact Slash Zero Records!)
Thank you for your support of independent artists and music culture!
Ohrange's 1st magnum opus - the eponymous "Ohrange Album" - has its 10th birthday today... The CDs are loooong gone, but you can grab their Greatest Hits CD or stream the album... Hubi on Bass for all songs, Air on Drums for "Way Of Life"...
10 years ago Radio Haze released their 2nd album "The Growth"... By now the album has been remastered and is available on all streaming platforms, but there are still a few CDs left that contain the original master - if you subscribe to the newsletter till Dec 17, you'll get a CD for free (while supplies last)...
After their main band The Prosecution announced their hiatus, my friends Simon & Dennis started their side-project Landslide Diary - today their debut album "In Presence Of Pages" is released!
I was in charge of producing and I know that countless hours were put into this LP - songwriting sessions, pre-production, recording drums (Moe Damjantschitsch from Corinore) at Studio Suiseidl, recording bass (Alexander Schott from AntiPeeWee) and guitars at their home studios, kempering guitars, recording vocals, mixing and mastering here @Slash Zero Studio, finding the right label (Fond Of Life Records), filming 3 awesome music videos (Tom Eberl), photographic documentation (NorthBear), conception and realization of the linocut artwork (Ronja Bernhardt), approving test pressings, waiting for the final pressing while making up a promotion plan and marketing strategy, crafting of the limited tapes (Halli Doe), pre-order kick-off (100 limited edition copies sold out in 2 days!), and finally the long-awaited release!!! Only the tour is kinda missing due to obvious reasons...
Do I still have to tell you that if you haven't ordered your copy by now, you'll have to act quickly?! Now go stream the album, for those 2 years full of hard work are worth 40min of your precious time, right?
After lots of uncertainties and troubles (like almost every GumoManiacs album?), it is finally released: "Morbid Tales Of Terror" - produced here @Slash Zero Studio over the last 2 years. As always, it's Air & Hubi on Drums 'N' Bass and Gumo on Vocal & Guitar duties... More than worth a mention is the magnificent artwork of the great Andreas Marschall (who's famous for his work with Sodom, Kreator, or Blind Guardian, among loads of others). Get your CD copy now, as we don't know if there's a vinyl version in the nearest future...
My friends from Landslide Diary released "Not A Single Second" (their 3rd video directed by Eberl) off their upcoming album "In Presence Of Pages" (produced here @Slash Zero Studio)... In the video there's some old skate footage of Simon that I shot about 15 years ago ;)
Finally "Songbook" by my Ohrange bros is released! We produced that beauty right before the big Corona bang in February @Slash Zero Studio. Unfortunately they cannot play a lot of shows this year, so please support them by purchasing their 180g limited purple vinyl as it is their 1st time on wax. After that go give 'em a stream while waiting for personal delivery!
Landslide Diary release their 2nd video (directed by Tom '3 Voddi' Eberl) to their latest chart-smashing uber-single "Panic" (from their upcoming album "In Presence Of Pages" - which you can pre-order NOW at Fond Of Life Records and which was produced here @Slash Zero Studio). So quickly get your limited purple vinyl and then binge-watch/stream the song!
My friends Simon & Dennis from The Prosecution started their own Punk band called Landslide Diary... They're online NOW, so give them a digital hug and watch the video (again filmed by the amazing Tom Eberl) to their debut single "Raging Waves" (produced @Slash Zero Studio). You'll also see some well known faces from AntiPeeWee and Corinore :)
Because of the current situation my Ohrange bros can't play their regular 100 shows a year, so they decided to release 100 videos instead. Here's #42 for this year: "Streichholz" (from their album "Songbook") - again filmed by the fabulous Tom Eberl, and if you look closely, you can catch a glimpse of Slash Zero Studio in the video [unfortunately one of my monitors crashed during the filming...]
bloodshed revolution is the name of the game
a path that's older than its breath
this world's out of disorder but the rules they stay the same
so join our legions of death
With those kind words about today's situation GumoManiacs release their new video "Legions Of Death" (filmed/cut by Hubi Hofmann, with a little help from Tom Eberl) from their upcoming album "Morbid Tales Of Terror" (which was, you guessed it, produced here @Slash Zero Studio). Watch the video, stream the Spotify, and then tell your friends...
The Boys Of Summer (formerly known as Filistine) shot a summerly video (filmed by Blue Oak) to their song "Summer" (from the latest album "Loƒe", which was produced here @Slash Zero Studio) - go check it out and get yourself some ice cream!
Can you imagine that one day your government decides that the music you love is illegal and therefore you'd have to go to prison and because of that they even shut down your business, arrest your employees, and people around you villainize you and your family, so the only option you have left is to leave everything behind and walk away?
Well, that ain't no made-up story - it really happened to the legendary Iranian rapper Dariush Ravi... But he decided to fight this injustice, move to Germany, record 5 songs here @Slash Zero Studio, and now he's released his first official 'legal' EP called "Kuch" (Farsi for 'migratory bird').
Please take a listen on Spotify and support him on Bandcamp (you can donate anything and get the EP in highest audio quality). One thing's for sure: even if you don't understand Farsi, you can tell he's a damn talented rapper. Spread the word so that something like this won't ever happen to anyone else again... Peace!
This thing is so damn controversial you either love or hate it: My bros from Ohrange released a music video to "Denk An Mi..." (directed by action-shot.tv) from their last album "L[i]eben" (which was produced here @Slash Zero Studio). And for those of you who haven't been at the Kurve yet, check this out...
These cool fellas from Filistine release their new album "Loƒe" today! We produced, recorded, and mixed that thing last year in November @Slash Zero Studio, the legendary Ludwig Maier mastered it, and now you should grab your 180g vinyl copy (or CD if you dig rare audio format), or at least give it a stream - you probably got some time to spare these days anyway...
At the end of 2019 I teamed up with Filistine @Slash Zero Studio and recorded their new album called "Loƒe" (which will be released on April 17) and this is the first official music video (directed by Mr. Eberl) - Press "Play"!
My friends from Burden Of Life release their epic new album "The Makeshift Conqueror" (which the legendary Christian Kötterl and I co-produced in August last year @Slash Zero Studio) via NoizGate Records today. Be sure to grab your copy at Bandcamp! You could also stream it, if you're kinda old school...
Finally Slash Zero Records arrived at "SM World"... Subscribing to the Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube channel can really bring you joy, or at least kill some time...
Burden Of Life released a new video (filmed by the legendary Tom Eberl) for their epic power ballad "Trust My Own Heart" (featuring Luisa Funkenstein), which shortens the wait for their upcoming album "The Makeshift Conqueror" (which was produced @Slash Zero Studio)!
The first post here in 2020 will be about my homies from Burden Of Life releasing their new video "Geistesblitz" (filmed by Bernhard Schinn), which will be on their upcoming album "The Makeshift Conqueror" - produced here @Slash Zero Studio.
TG Copperfield is known for his incredible guitar work and releasing several albums per year - "Talkin' Shop" being his 7th solo effort, and his 4th album in 2019... more neat facts: we nailed that album (from recording/mixing @Slash Zero Studio to mastering by GKG Mastering) in exactly ONE WEEK in August... Now can you outgun that?! The album is released by Time Zone Records - get your copy here or stream it!
Yo, check out my homie TG's latest video to "Suckers & Crooks" (filmed by Schtifilms) and make sure you'll catch Air's SICK drum break at around 1:10min. The song will be on his upcoming 7th album "Talkin' Shop" (produced @Slash Zero Studio).
My Ohrange Bros released the 3rd music video off their album "L[i]eben" (produced here @Slash Zero Studio) for the song "Patronus" - shot by up- and coming video dude Tom Eberl!
