IAMX RELEASES NEW ALBUM “VOLATILE TIMES”

Chris from IAMX has written a very personal message to his fans on his website!

We know many of you loved the remix collaboration Alec Empire did last year with IAMX, so make sure you check this out!

Volatile Times release

Hello my friends

Today we release Volatile Times.
I want you all to know that I am very excited and, as always, feeling somewhat sick in the knowledge

that a piece of me is going out into the world to be analysed, criticised and loved.
But overall I am proud of the record despite my previous psychotic blog.

And it is sad that music these days is instantly downloadable. This will make it very difficult for us to survive. We know that. You know that. Blah blah blah.
There are always parasites that think they deserve art for free and live off other peoples energy. And I refer to the person that uploaded the album before the release. I am used to this. Ignorance does not surprise me anymore.
But I trust YOU my friends. I consider you close to my heart. That you have supported this project so intensely gives me goose pimples every time I think about it and when we receive messages like this one below I remember that I do have faith in people.

Hi
I have guiltily downloaded the album early and already.
I don’t want to pay postage or hurt the environment with my consumption…

Can I make an honest payment by other means as I would have bought the album. If you give me bank details I will send 12 Euro today.

Fantastic work, really fantastic.

Kindest regards  Rowan

A small note to our fans in UK, US and Canada.
We are trying very hard to get a solid release in your territories and also to set up some shows. It seems harder than ever to make it happen on our indie budget. The only real way to secure this in the future is for you to buy the record. We just cannot afford it and nobody with big pockets seems to be interested in challenging music anymore. That is the reality of the situation.
We will update you as soon as there is news.

So, whiskey raised and downed,  lets all do what we can to keep the spirit alive.

Much love and respect.

Sonic terrorist, Alec Empire, returns for another blistering series of live dates here in the UK that looks set to blow the roof off every venue it invades across the country.

?1000 Eyes? is the new download only single taken off the animated short film, ?The Golden Foretaste of Heaven?. After the critical acclaim of his mini album, ?Shivers?, earlier this year, Alec channelled his dark energy into creating a brooding, mesmerising soundtrack to the hotly tipped film by Austrian rising star, Richard Wilhelmer.

Fresh off supporting Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails on their European leg of the tour, Alec will bring his awesome live setup to the UK showcasing material from a career spanning almost two decades. Always a knack for spotting new talent, Alec has collaborated with Robbie Furze from The Big Pink on the track, ?If You Live or Die? off his last album and has produced and written Patrick Wolf?s lead single, ?Vultures?.

Wolf also appeared on stage with Empire during his sold out London date at The Underworld earlier this year and looks certain to join up with his partner in crime for the Islington Academy show in London on November 19.

Having recently remixed IAMX, ex Sneaker Pimp, Chris Corner?s new single ?Terrified?, the hardest working Berliner in music?s next project is a team up with Major Lazer and Saul Williams for some new tracks and a remix special with Dillinger Escape Plan later this year.

As a special treat for UK fans, Alec has roped in up & coming alt techno-core outfit, Motor, who are currently on tour with D?p?che Mode as support for his UK dates.

Alec has once again reinvented himself and you can witness the Empire effect first hand this autumn as Nic Endo and him take to a stage near you.

usually German radio is as bad as German rock bands. We can’t wait: Internet radio in all cars = death of shitty corporate radio stations. Support good radio whenever you can! (don’t support Pirate Bay because they make millions on advertising. Liars!)
