Tristesse de la Lune (translates to "Sadness of the Moon" in french) is an electropop group founded by German musicians Kati Roloff and Gini Martin, who gained fame as the female vocalists in Blutengel for songs as "Weg Zu Mir," "Fairyland(Female Version)", "Seelenschmerz", "I'm Dying Alone" among others. Both left Blutengel at the end of 2001 for personal and unknown reasons, and as they said in a 2002 interview "Blutengel was becoming too cliché", and formed Tristesse de la Lune. Their songs typically have romantic lyrics usually inspired in their personal lives or books. They are on Out of Line Music and are one of the main bands of the label.

“Dog Eat Dog”, the brand-new single from Mexican Hard-Electro-legend Hocico, shouter Erk Aicrag and sound wizard Racso Agroyam are as aggressive as never before. A catchy-as-hell hook line meets the most brutal vocal escapades and the hardest beats the duo has ever unleashed: a relentless aggro-fest with a distinctive hit-appeal. The new single also contains four bass-laden remixes from Solitary Experiments, Aesthetic Perfection, Diabolic Art and Arsch Dolls as well as the exclusive b-side-smasher “Escape The Spell.” “Dog Eat Dog” will also be released as a 7” white vinyl, limited to 666 copies and sporting the exclusive b-side “Breathe Me Tonight.”

The German group Blutengel (Blood Angel) were founded by singer Chris Pohl, after contractual and legal problems forced him to exit the popular German band Seelenkrank. An electronica pop group with goth overtones, the band has gone through a few member changes while sticking to a configuration of one male and two female singers. They sing in German and in English, with lyrics exploring love, passion, and romance in highly dramatic tones. The original two female singers were photographer and singer Nina Bendigkeit (another Seelenkrank alumni) and Katie Roloff. Bendigkeit left after the debut album, Child of Glass, was released to modest club success in 1999, to devote time to her growing success as a photographer. It was an amicable parting, as Bendigkeit would later work on the band's publicity materials; she was replaced as a vocalist by Gini Martin. The next album, Seelenschmerz, continued to develop the band's fan base in Germany, with several singles garnering airplay; it was enough for Pohl and the group to finally perform live, and their debut performance was for 10,000 fans at a festival in Leipzig. The success strained relationships in the band, and in 2001 both Roloff and Martin left Blutengel to found the group Tristesse de la Lune, stating that Pohl's leadership had become overbearing. They were replaced by Eva Pölzing and session singer Constance Rudert.
The next album proved to be the band's breakthrough in Germany -- Angel Dust placed 58th in the Top 100 albums of the year, and the singles "Angel of the Night" and "Vampire Romance" were national hits. Pohl retooled their live show, turning it into a theatrical spectacle, featuring dancers, pyrotechnics, and melodramatic gothic sets and costumes. Only the three singers and dancers were visible to the audience, as the musicians were either hidden or taped. They became darlings of the European electronic festival circuit, and steadily built an ever larger fan base. Another album and a live concert DVD followed, and the band finally toured overseas, visiting the U.S.A., Mexico, and England in 2005, and gaining a U.S. release for the CD Demon Kiss. In 2005 Eva Pölzing left the group for personal reasons, and has been replaced by Ulrike Goldmann. The constant lineup changes have not bothered their fan base, as sales have been steadily growing for their back catalog of EPs and full-length releases. Blutengel fans have been waiting patiently for a new album, but as Chris Pohl is also in the groups Pain of Progress, Terminal Choice, and Tumor, and owner of the Fear Section record label, it might be a while coming.

Angels and Agony es uno de los grupos que formara parte de la ola ‘future pop’, combinando sonidos reconocibles del ebm con algo de trance, voces no distorsionadas y alma de techno pop. A lo largo de los años han lanzado discos, desde su primer trabajo, ‘Eternity’ producido por Ronan Harris.
‘Unison’ recoge con fuerza todas las características de la banda: desde sus temas bailables, llenos de marcados sintetizadores y simples pero melancólicas líneas vocales con su particular visión de la temática – muy elaborada.
