Press Info:
‘Death Systematic’ and ‘A Blaze They Can’t Contain’ were first written in 2020. Raw, instinctive works from the project’s minimalist, earliest phase, now revisited and newly mixed in 2026. What emerges is not a retrospective, but a recalibrated statement: material reintroduced with weight, clarity and intent.

‘Death Systematic’ is a live favourite built on a rigid, driving pulse with percussive sequencing and underpinned noise that locks into a near-industrial cadence, with tension sustained through repetition rather than release. The track leans into control: disciplined, mechanical and deliberately unyielding, with vocals cutting through as a confrontational presence rather than a narrative lead. Sirens ring, windows smash and Smith’s vocals pierce. The band’s visceral punk energy can be felt throughout.

By contrast, ‘A Blaze They Can’t Contain’ carries a more volatile, machine funk energy. There’s a sense of forward motion that feels less restrained. A rolling FM bassline creates lifts working against the mechanical percussion. The arrangement opens out, allowing moments of vocal release without losing the underlying pressure. It also marks the first time Joshua Smith and Callum Graham share vocal duties on record, extending Graham’s role beyond the machines and into the front line.

Across both tracks, Nation Unrest operate within a stripped EBM framework – analogue textures, hard-edged sequencing and a focus on physical impact over ornamentation. Nothing feels excessive; everything is functional, built with intent and directed squarely at the floor.

Rather than looking back, this release acts as a clear segue into the next phase of Nation Unrest. With producer Evil Dust (Crave Tapes, X-IMG) now on board for 2026, the project moves forward with a more defined and deliberate sonic identity, pushing further into intensity, structure and control.

This is a transition point, a line drawn between instinct and execution.

Press Info:
„Hologramm“ is the new EP by Schwefelgelb. Remix contributions by Nastia Reigel and Nørbak make it a 5 track Techno heavyweight. An intriguing combination of positive, joyful atmosphere and gritty, pushy sound aesthetic spans all over the record. “The Show” and its euphorigenic rising stabs appears like what could be transformed into an Euro Dance anthem easily. Yet the aware and well curated production holds it firmly in the zone of Techno and House underground. Speaking House, here’s “In Mein Glas” – a sportive track with an irresistible bounce foiled by a lackadaisical vocal line, which gives it a comic twist. As “Fieber” keeps the bounce we’re getting a little more aggressive again: a delicate distortion, a dominant bass and a groovy drive. In all these 3 original tracks it’s the mélange of melodic motives, vocal highlights, crispy production as well as versatile creative details, which creates this specific sound that gets you hooked. It is lightness however wrapped in an Industrial musical language.

That said, the remixes proof how a new energy can be revealed by more minimal re-interpretations. Nastia Reigel, getting hands on “The Show”, pushes drums and a fresh rhythmic play of vocal chops into the foreground. A sparse break followed by a powerful drop adds a strong climax. Nørbak’s approach on “In Mein Glas” takes the melodic motive and embeds it into a dubby space, not giving up on the hard-hitting kick
