TERMINATRYX breathes life to NOSFERATU


TERMINATRYX, the South African industrial duo of Paul Blom and Sonja Ruppersberg, have released their live performance at the 2006 HORRORFEST International Film Festival on DVD. Their dark vampiric lyrics and bio-mechanical sound were accompanied by the wonderfully wicked imagery of the 1922 silent film NOSFERATU. Blending industrial soundscapes with ominous vocal moods, TERMINATRYX also includes instrumentation from upright bass, woodwinds, to live percussion samples, sound FX, electric violin and metal guitars.
The entire 2-hour DVD package contains music videos, live clips, biogs, photo galleries and the short film imPERFECTION (made by the band and featuring their music).  For more info on the band go to www.TERMINATRYX.com or www.MySpace.com/terminatryxxx, and check out the TERMINATRYX / NOSFERATU DVD here.

OHGR to release “Devils In My Details” on November 18!


For more than 25 years, Ogre has pioneered electronic music, pushed the boundaries and has been a direct influence on some of the most cutting-edge rock (NINE INCH NAILS, TOOL, etc.) the world has seen in that time span as the legendary frontman for SKINNY PUPPY. On November 18 he unleashes his most personal and conceptual work to date under the guise of OHGR with “Devils In My Details”.

Also part of the major multi-media impact Ogre is making this Fall is the upcoming horror epic REPO: THE GENETIC OPERA in which he stars alongside Paris Hilton, Paul Sorvino (GOODFELLAS), Alexa Vega (SPY KIDS), opera megastar Sarah Brightman, and Bill Moseley (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2, ARMY OF DARKNESS) who is also featured on DEVILS IN MY DETAILS, adding spoken-word tracks “Psychoreal” and “Timebomb”.
