There’s a new compilation coming out tomorrow, October 16th, and it’s called Hellfire. This CD brings together several bands from the Van Richter label and ranges in style from industrial-metal to synthpop with some darker sounds in between. A lot of the songs come from albums that are starting to become hard to find and a few have never been released. Hellfire also presents a few unique coversongs, including a Motorhead cover done by the Plastic Noise Experience and Ministry’s “Everyday is Halloween” by the Underwater Pilots.

You can download a bunch of different MP3s and samples by the artists featured on Hellfire on Van Richter’s Audio page.

01. Testify - Future Lust
02. Testify - Seeds of Wrath (Die Warzau silence as a weapon mix)

The Underwater Pilots are an electronic synthpop duo who have been around since 2002 when they produced their first demo. They signed with Repo Records and released their debut album Tranquil Places 2 years later. Since then, Greg and Manu have been busy working with solo projects and producing other music, but their fantastic sound hasn’t gone unnoticed. Tranquil Places will be released in America thanks to Van Richter Records. You can find the album starting tomorrow on the 18th at your favorite indie record shop or online in the Van Richter webshop.

You can hear some samples from Tranquil Places on The Underwater Pilots’ MySpace page or download the MP3s directly from their site’s Media page. Enjoy.
