The new release of Cyberware Productions, MELT - Scandinavian electro/industrial compilation (NET 002) will bring you bands from every five Scandinavian countries (Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland).

This compilation will offer you some of the best and well known electrobands from these five countries as well as some still quite unknown bands which are heading they way to a success. We can guarantee that this cd will feature the hardest and toughest electro terrorists from north of the 55th latitude this year.

The following artists are participating on this cd:

Bizarre Alliance (S), this newcomer shows the unusual hardside of Swedish electromusic and performs a brilliant opening for this compilation. Apoptygma Berzerk (N) is the best known ebm artist in their native land Norway. His career filled with hard work has brought him the success in all over the Europe. Apoptygma Berzerk participates with the guitarless edit of the old song Burning Heretics. Neuroactive (FIN) has showed their power on the fields of ebm and therefore their follow up to this hardcore-dancefloor technohit Obsession will be the full lenght debut cd on Cyberware Productions. Birmingham 6 (DK) has made their way to a success with dancefloor-techno sounding music and they continue this hardcore image with this remix of their song Mindhallucination. Anstalt (N) and their cyber-industrial-body-techno song Cybers is absolutely one of the most catchy and unforgettable song on this compilation. Leather Strip (DK) will need no comments. Claus Larsen is surely the best and most respected industrialist on the underground electronic music scene in Europe. The song No Rest For The Wicked was originally ment to be released on his Underneath The Laughter cd, but remaining without lyrics it will be featured here on its original form. The Insult That Made A Man Out Of Mac (FIN), these experimentalists and industrialists kicks the hell out of traditional electronic music adding some performance into it. Gunmaster is the easy option to break your ears. Inferno 5 (IS), the performance group from the heart of the everlasting winter. People know Inferno 5 from their ritual and spiritual performances, long tracks and overwhelming temper. Inferno 5 could be called as the fathers of Icelandic electronic music. Malaise (S) merges the sounds of dark gothic rock and hardhitting ebm with their music in general as well as with the song Sometimes I Dream. This pleasent suprise and talented band is becoming a very respectable band indeed.Remyl (N), three men and their machines, creates extreme industrial music with North-American influences. Addicts is another desperate sounding song maintaining this image. Chaingun Operate (FIN) hail from the Finnish techno mecca Tampere. Inspired by cyberpunk and science-fiction their song Netspace Cowboy owns the potential to become a dancefloor hit in every industrial club. Angst Pop (N), this one man project hits hard and kicks even harder. Angst Pop presents the original ebm merged into more industrial sounding beats, without forgetting some classical elements as well. In Slaughter Natives (S) will not need an introduction. His fans knows the name as one of the most darkest industrialband in Europe. The new remix of Fifth Skin has give Cyberware Productions the honour to be named as Close Cyberware Mix. Reptilicus (IS) gives the audience the most experimental track on this compilation. Creaping voices and wailing noises is just the point what this song is all about. Shade Factory (FIN) are heading their way to a success with hard industrialmetal music. They have abandoned their ebm past and Under Ten Lies are the first sign what is to became. Cat Rapes Dog *(S), one of the most successfull Swedish electroact of all time, has returned with the hit song from their previous album. More melodic, more aggressive more powerful. Cat Rapes Dog will be considered as one of the best electrobands in the whole Europe. In Absentia (DK) has earned a lot of respect with their extremely original and sometimes annoying songs, but also with their casual style. The best example of that is the song The Broken Glass Of Shattered Dreams.

77:11 of total playing time, 17 bands and 17 songs, most of them previously unreleased (except *), will shake the dancefloors in all over the world from now on.
