Alec Empire has suggested that there are many people in Germany who are "very backward and right wing". The Atari Teenage Riot frontman told The Quietus that he feels German society is still troubled by the history of the Second World War. Empire said: "The Germans, they lost the war. And democracy was brought to them. There's something about that, it wasn't that natural process. "The problem is that a lot of people in Germany are very backward and right wing and they just love the fact that Germany is the biggest country again in Europe, and they love that for the wrong reasons, and it is dangerous. Very often you don't see that side." Empire (more)...

Once in a while an underground niche will burst to the surface and lay down a title that has the power to reach a wider audience. That's exactly the kind of film Godkiller is. For a select few it will not be all that original as they are familiar with the niche, others will hate this film with a vengeance. But there's an important third group which will consider the film a real eye opener. Guess that's what happened to me.
Pizzolo markets Godkiller as an illustrated film. A very close relative to the motion comic but with more cinematic ideals in mind. Motion comics try to bring life to existing material, illustrated films aim for an original cinematic experience through the use of illustrations. The techniques used to accomplish both visions might be quite similar, but the illustrated film is way more ambitious than the motion comic.

The road from concept to comic to DVD/Blu-ray has been a long, rocky one for the illustrated film Godkiller, mainly because demand has been so high that Halo-8 Entertainment simply hasn't been able to keep up. To make up for the postponement of the Blu-ray release to a still yet to be determined date, company President Matt Pizzolo (who also wrote and directed the film) has announced that purchasers of the standard-def DVD will be entitled to a free Godkiller Blu-ray.
From the Press Release:
"We're not trying to double-dip on the DVD and Blu-ray. The hi-def version is being delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, but we want Godkiller fans to feel confident getting the film now and knowing we'll take care of them when the Blu-ray comes out," explained Pizzolo.
"Godkiller really beat all our expectations, and that's been a good thing as well as a bad thing...

There is only one festival where you can run across the father of midnight movies and the father of slasher horror, and it’s next week in Paris. For those who lived in a cave the past 16 years, it’s September. Meaning it’s time for the IRS and corollary it’s time for L’Etrange Festival.
The most bizarre, weird, shocking, gore, poetic and illuminating pieces of cinematographic creation of the year and beyond, are once again tied together and bound into two weeks of total visual bliss.

Pitchfork has up a report that German hardcore band Atari Teenage Riot's new iPhone app has been temporarily delayed by the German iTunes store. The app is set to offer all of the band's albums, songs, and videos, in addition to a feature called "Riotsounds Produce Riots," which the band describes as "...very low sub basses, square waves, noise sounds, which trigger hysteria and panic within the audience." Atr's Alec Empire told Pitchfork that he expects the app will be approved within 10 days, with the Riotsounds feature possibly getting added on later. Whatever the status, I have to tip my hat to the band.

Patrick Wolf has announced that ex-Soft Cell star Mark Almond and former Atari Teenage Riot frontman Alec Empire will be his special guests at an upcoming live show. The singers will perform at Wolf's one-off concert at the London Palladium on November 15. Wolf said: "It is a total honour that I am able to duet with the legendary singer-songwriter, Marc Almond. To me, he is one of the most genius brave and passionate renaissance artists of the last three decades, a total inspiration. "We will be doing two songs together, but time will tell what they may be. Hopefully one from each of our own songbooks." He (more)...

Every once in a while, a song will just stop you in your tracks the very first time you hear it. For me, those kinds of tunes have ranged from the Stone Roses' "Fools Gold" to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)."
There's something just so undeniable about the propulsion of those songs, the synapse-firing beats, the instant-classic nature of how they sound. They do what any great song does, which is make you feel like you already know it even if it's the first time you're hearing it.
I got a jolt of that recently when I heard a song called "Dominos" by the UK duo the Big Pink on Xm Radio. I stopped what I was doing as soon as I heard the big, fat cascading Led Zeppelin-meets-Madchester drum wallop, the hypnotic chorus ("These girls fall like dominos!
