Now if you have never heard any samples from this band you can always visit their music section on their official website: Krystal-System.com, or you can check out their Myspace Page and rock out there!

Their official site has a lyrics page as well! That’s always a plus since some industrial acts have very few pages and resources for listeners when it comes to figuring out exactly what they are saying. (Distorted Voices can be such a pain at times, but they sound for fricking cool.)

As Always, Here is A Fix.

Though some do stand out and the reason they do, is because they add something different to an already explosive and highly saturated experience. Though it can be hard at times to find these sites in the midst of it all, there is one that is so small in topic yet the crowd it is gathering is enormous… and for good reason. The site is known as OurStage and it is devoted entirely to Indie Music and what the FANS have to say.

Yes that means you folks.

Upon recently finding this site, it is something that is still surprisingly small for such an explosive topic, I.E. Music. It deals will all types of genres as well as expand on helping artists get some spare cash into their pocket from their music.

For The Musician

It helps even the field with the Major Labels, by allowing musicians to have their songs rated, reviewed, and sold. They also allow a way for Musicians to get in touch with their fans and post updates on news, events, and upcoming albums before a release. They can even create customized Banners and add their OWN favorite band list on current songs and older songs from bands on the site.
Musicians also compete in Battles on this site that fans and any user can cast their vote in. Bands have individual song rankings and can even win $100 – $1000 dollars every month depending on their songs ranking at the end of the month. Talk about an incentive to bands to do their best and produce that “New Sound” everyone will enjoy.
The site also has a game to where you can pose as a Scout Talent and see if you have what it takes to see what the people will want in music. That adds to the addiction of this site. OurStage.com adds so much to such a simple thing as talking and listening to music. The site is very easy to navigate and very easy on the eyes. Not to mention it’s hard to WANT to leave the site and even go to Myspace.com.

For The Fans

To add to the versatility of this site, users who do not have their own band and just want to find some new music to enjoy, OurStage.com has everything a person would need and much more. A Fan can join ‘fan groups” as well as add bands and other people as friends for this site. You can leave comments just like in Myspace, Vampire Freaks, and Face Book. Plus users can rate not only individual songs but Music Videos, and take part in helping promote any band they choose.

Fans can create play lists of their favorite songs and add them onto another site with a widget they create. They can also create different play lists for Recommendations, Personal Favorites, and have a choice to add songs manually or via the “smart option”. Fans can also blog, Show their favorite Videos on their profiles, and even add a widget that shows how many times they’ve judged a battle. If a person joins and then later on establishes their own band, their account can be upgraded for more options that are targeted for bands, free of charge.

OurStage.com Also gives away a free song to download daily and it can be found on your own person profile. This site is a great way for a band to get their music out and a fabulous way for fans to show their support. Not to mention the way the site is developed, both Fan and Artist always have means to hear other types of music that could have never been heard by either on their own.

The best part about this extremely addicting Web 2.0 site isn’t in the fact that it’s 100% Free, but it’s a means for anyone interested in music to expand their horizons and help bands with that ever needed “next step” in getting noticed… or that extra needed sold album and promotion. Compared to Myspace Music, OurStage.com, Breaks its back, hands down.

Greek Band Arkane presents the debut album “Enraptured serene mesmerism“, focusing exclusively on the dark symphonic neo-classical idiom characterized by an intense soundtrack-ish atmosphere that emphasizes on the entrancing, mesmerizing aesthetics of seduction!

As for me, I’ll have to see what else they come up with before I can really give a good review (or not) on this upcoming Greek band.

“quickly earned them the reputation as the new hope for Swedish pop. The band has been compared to such artists as Depeche Mode, New Order, Keane and A-ha.”

Now at first that is all rockin considering I love Depeche Mode, but this next part is the confusing part:

“The music can be described as emotional pop, contrived with electronic elements.”

Now wait a minute… wouldn’t that be perceived as relating Depeche Mode to “Emotional Pop”?

Honestly I hope I am wrong, otherwise these people need to get their categories correct. Depeche Mode is FAR FROM EMOTIONAL POP.

What the bloody *&^$. Seriously, that is just blatant disregard for another bands sound if that is what they are saying. I have listened to the songs that LOWE has on their “space” and I can slightly see why they may see a similar sound to Depeche Mode… slightly.

I guess they can be related to the “Violator” album of 1990… not to mention they are listed as “Pop / Alternative / New Wave“.

Perhaps I am wrong but still when they hell did Depeche Mode become related to “Emotional Pop”. To me that’s just a slap in the face.

What do you mates think about this?

Well now this is a new band overall, but their sound gives off a presence that far exceeds their reputation. It is comprised of Vo1d and Trav15. Not much is known from this upstart band, but much can be expected from it. Their Dark Wave and Electronica sounds give an eerie tone to the listener. The Orgy sounding song of Physical Body Projection is just one song that can give a slight hint to who their artists of inspiration are. A band with this type of talent hasn’t been heard since the days of oGhr and rumor has it, since the days of Skinny Puppy. The band is a skew of Metal/Dark Wave/Electronica and is comprised very well. Margin Of Error’s song Frustration caught my ears immediately after the first tune blazed through my speakers. At this point I can say Combichrist was an influence as well. It shows and it couldn’t have been presented any better.

Trav15’s artwork only adds to the beginners feel and sex appeal, though he considers his art to be “Dangerous Artwork”. The stunning visuals on the upcoming cover for the CD, their official website, and promo work is comprised solely by Trav15. Being a Graphic Artist and long time lover for that which is different, Trav15, I tip my hat to you.

Margin of Error is summed up by the words for the artists:

Margin of Error
-Est. 2thousand2-
“Margin of Error is a creative canvas that we have chosen to display our thought pattern. Our conceptual continuity incorporates the three dimensions that we have proven most effective. The circles represent our sound, visuals and the reaction to them. Three provides the creativity needed in what we have coined “connecting the circle of medias.” We are succeeding in creating something unique and stimulating to many different human minds.”

The band plans to release their 1 hour of eargasmic pleasure album”Destroy. Create. Repeat.”, In the fall of 2007. A specific date has not been set but what has is they are coming out with this album whether they have a label backing or not.

Rock on Mates. As Always, Here is A Fix.
