"celmetra, celmetra"

NADA were a band from Lucerne, Switzerland, too. They were active during the 90ies and released one (?) album called "Celmetra" on the label Common Cause*. Songs were sung in different languages, the lyrics come translated in french, german and english. Musicwise it seems like a more tribal-oriented relaxed version of SWANS, EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN or even some NEUROSIS (especially with the vocals).

Here's the track "Power" off the record "Celmetra". Enjoy:



*(Swiss/German Label featuring Thomas Mölch. Mölch was also one of two guys behind OFF THE DISK Records, a label responsible for releasing records of bands such as MORBID ANGEL, INFEST or SLEEP)

"nur für automaten"

MITTAGEISEN were a post-punk/synth outfit from Lucerne, Switzerland which is actually my hometown. Two years ago the mastermind of the band, bruno w. remastered and re-released their complet backcatalogue on a nice looking 2xDigipack on his own label mital-u. Too bad that there is no vinyl version of it, yet. However, with a bit of luck you might be able to get one of the releases on ebay or discogs.com.

I found a good version of the "Automaten" musicvideo on youtube. Have a listen/look on it below.

Speaking of local acts, I made an interview with new wave/post-punk group LES YEUX SANS VISAGE. It should be up next week.
