Antoni Maiovvi & ANTA

Berlin by Bristol analog synth wizard Antoni Maiovvi has teamed with Bristol prog rock act ANTA to create "Church of the Second Sun," a mash-up of sorts of horror synth and heavy prog.  It rules.  Check out the video for "As Above, So Below" below and download the album here or pre-order the upcoming vinyl release here via Mondo Tees.

Acid Vatican

Time to get my dark techno on i guess, with a bumping, industrial-tinged jam from Antoni Maiovvi's side project Acid Vatican.  Check out "King Hell" below and pre-order the upcoming "Holy See" EP here from German label Aufnahme + Wiedergabe.

Antoni Maiovvi

Synth wave artist Antoni Maiovvi is back with a new album of horror score riffs for the imaginary soundtrack "Where Dreams Go to Die."  Listen to the tense and sinister "An Encounter with a Friend with Sharp Teeth" below and get the the album here from Spun Out of Control.

Antoni Maiovvi

Composer/synth enthusiast Antoni Maiovvi continues to weave interesting works of analog soundscape, often dabbling in giallo-tinged nightmares, slasher film dread, and zombie-disco.  New album "Avrokosm" finds the artist working his textured sounds towards the cosmos, a veritable soundtrack to space exploration, the songs of some foreign, red planet.  Take a listen to "Afternoon Youth" below and grab the LP from Not Not Fun.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

For the last few weeks, the awesome folks over at Death Waltz Records, purveyors of horror scores galore, have been teasing an upcoming release of something they have been calling Death Waltz Originals.  Well, the announcement was made yesterday that said original release is a brand new and original score to Tobe Hooper's classic 1974 film "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" performed by horror score enthusiasts/revivalists Umberto and Antoni Maiovvi.  Even better, next month at Mondo-Con here in Austin, they will be screening the film with an accompanying live performance of the new score.  Even better still, the LP will be available to ticket holders.  I'm stoked.  Word on the street is that they've only pressed 800 of these, and that they'll only be available at the Mondo-Con screening and then later on at Beyond Fest in LA.  I want.  I want.  I want.  Listen to "Meathook" below.
