About Me |
|
| The fourth album of this Belgian dark electro project, which is called BACTERIATE, got a worldwide release on March 21 of this year on INFACTED RECORDINGS.
IC 434 was founded in 1994 by Geert de Wilde and was named after the so-called Horsehead Nebula, a beautiful galactic cloud in the impressive constellation of Orion. As you can expect from the name of the project, the lyrics mainly contain astronomical descriptions, linked with some very personal experiences Geert had with death and other obscure subjects. The mysteries on our planet and in the universe also have an important place in the lyrics, just as animal rights, nature in general and the sickness of our society. Impressed by one of the concerts in 1996, Dirk Ivens (THE KLINIK, DIVE and SONAR) decided to offer IC 434 a contract on his label DAFT (BODY) RECORDS. Three albums were released on that label between 1996 and 2002. The first IC 434 album, WEATHERING SKIES, was re-released in 2006 and is still available just by sending a private message (not available at regular stores). Other older items are sold out. The sound is completely based on the 80's Korg M1, with only a couple of additional samples. This doesn't mean that IC 434 tends to create a typical old school sound, but just a kind of timeless dark electronic and 'danceable' music, combining elements from now and earlier days. Geert also started with a side project, PANGEA, in 1998. Some people describe it as a mix of EBM and Goa/Psy Trance. Doing remixes of the PANGEA song 'Permafrost', Guy Van Mieghem asked Geert to join his legendary act VOMITO NEGRO after Gin Devo left. Guy and Geert worked on new VOMITO NEGRO songs and headlined WGT Leipzig in 2003. Remixes made for: Brainleisure - Crawl In Vain Experiment Haywire - Mean Enough Hot Enough Grandchaos - God Is Dead Hocico - Ladykiller (Obedience remix) Implant - The Age Of Experiment (Space Lab remix by Pangea) Neikka RPM - Find A Way Psy'Aviah - Broken Child + Nebula-H featuring Pangea - Andalusiòn Some live impressions: Horsehead (May 2008) & Skull Watch (December 2006): |
