We start 2010 with the greatest news. Collide is appearing on the cover of the 72 page U.K. magazine Nocturnal. It is the most Collide-filled magazine we have ever seen! Besides the cover, there's a four page interview, a two page piece on kaRIN's Saints & Sinners Clothing and Accessory line, and a review of "These Eyes Before". You also get a free downloadable compilation album, which includes our version of David Bowies's "Space Oddity".

We really must thank Steven Hurst for all of his efforts and writing to make this happen....wooo-hooooo!

To download the magazine, go here. It does require users to create a login (which is purely for their own stats, no strings attached). The cost for the issue is only about $1, which can be paid by paypal. Not a bad deal, considering you also get the 12-song album!

We just received a couple of new reviews from ex Melody Maker writer Mick Mercer.

One was for Dean Garcia's newest project, SPC ECO, which we are distributing in North America.

(SPC ECO) "Together they extract the heat from some essentially grumbly soundscapes and make them strangely sweet, but never sickly. When a bright tingly guitar marks the appearance of ‘For All Time’, with a reassuring bass beneath and some big clumping drums, the addition of winsome vocals sets you up for a cool, restful sound, in which the guitar burrows through hotly...‘Shine On Down’ is quite a humming bird rave of a thing, like Julee Cruise blissed out in the clouds, casually deconstructing some early Cocteaus."
Check out the full review here.

He's also posted one of our Two Headed Monster.

We like his writing. Here's a tidbit from the review.

"‘Spaces In Between’ swipes the best china off the table and slaps down tectonic plates instead, the rhythmical fizz scampering as the vocals remain imperiously controlled, the song like a giant figurehead of a ship transplanted onto a lethal skateboard. Looming, zooming. It’s a crazed little caper, and we all like those..."

We're excited about the new reviews for Two Headed Monster that are still coming in.

Here are three more. If you haven't got a copy for yourself yet, what are you waiting for? Read the full reviews here.

A Model of Control

...this was worth all the wait. Collide deliver what we perhaps expected, and then some, showing such a confidence with their established sound that they have been able to stretch and shift it into new arenas...

Gothic Paradise

There is just no slowing down with this duo as the ideas just seem to flow and almost year after year we're presented with great new material. This latest work has the band putting together some of their best material to date crossing many genre boundaries and remaining as true to their sound as ever.

Regen Magazine

...Two Headed Monster presents Collide fans with more of what they know and love: scathing electronic and guitar textures, dark atmospheres, and mystifying vocals and melodies...

Labels: a model of control, gothic paradise, press, regen magazine, review

During this past week we've received 3 more great reviews for Two Headed Monster. Check the full reviews here on our reviews page. Thanks to Jen of Stratosphere Fanzine, Gregory S. Burkart of Fear net, and Peter Marks of Release Magazine for the reviews.

Delusions of Adequacy

"This is Collide’s most lush, warm, and accomplished album to date, with a atmospheric mix of rough and raw guitar sounds and flowing beats, electronics, and vocals."-Jen Stratosphere Fanzine"

Fear net

"Another common thread among these songs – and one of the band's consistent strengths – is the seamless integration of multiple layers of sound. With heavy drumming and robust bass pinning down the low end, and kaRIN's vocals occupying the top of the sonic spectrum, there's a lot of room for intricate guitar licks and noise-rock synth mayhem in the frequencies between. Statik's production skills just get better and better with each effort...-Gregory S. Burkart, Fear.net

Release Magazine

"Precision, yes. Craftmanship, absolutely. Collide's fourth album delivers an overwhelming knock-out....Collide return to the world with their new work wrought delicately in the darkest of desires. I swear I can almost hear angels weeping while listening to this."-Peter Marks, Release Magazine

Erotic Magazine 11/2008

Erotic Magazine, from the Pacific Northwest, recently included an article on us in their latest issue. You can read it here, or download the pdf here.

"Imagine if you will the most sensuous, erotic, hypnotic, twisted and surreal trip into ectasy you've ever experienced. Now put those feelings into music. Or better yet, slap on some headphones and explore the brilliantly composed world within Collide's fourth full-length release, Two Headed Monster..."-John Voge, Erotic Magazine.

We've posted another great review that's come in from the U.K., this one from the Zeitgeist site. It makes us feel all warm and fuzzy. Thanks goes out to Stuart A. Hamilton.

..."It's another fabulous extravaganza in the history of Collide, by far the best darkwave / electro-goth / insert appropriate genre here release of the year, and one of the best albums of the year in any genre you're likely to hear. Go get it now."

Review #3 for Two Headed Monster is in from vAlien/DJ Commando LABELLA. Val is from Belarus and was kind enough to translate it into English for us, as our Russian is a bit rusty.

Exotic Underground 12/2005

View the article in Exotic Underground magazine written by Sonia Blue here.

Here's an excerpt from the article...

"Most people are itching to stereotype a band into a particular Genre, tag it and bag it as it were. There are some bands that I can honestly say are their own genre-they've produced something uniquely bizzarre and surreally sublime. Some say it's all been done: I say not by a long shot. If your interested in hearing music that isn't easily labeled as this or that, I recommend you read on."

Look for a review of Vortex in the June/July issue of Jane Magazine. Here is the review...

" Collide's latest venture into gothic darkwave, Vortex, is a two-disk collection of decadent aesthetic brilliance. Vortex has tracks to please every dark-minded eccentric out there. With trippy vocals from the stunning kaRIN and twisty musical mixes from mysterious hottie Statik, this band always brightens my nightmares. Boo "
