MEGAPTERA's back again with yet another release to celebrate the 15 years anniversary. The new release is titled EXTENDED CHAOS and consits of two old releases, Near Death and Beautiful Chaos. Near Death is Megapteras first official release way back in 1991. It was released as a 7-track cassette on the CMI-sidelabel Sound Source. It's the first release with Peter Nyström as an official member of the band. Near Death is also the ONLY release with all three members! Using drummachine, various synthezisers, movies, TV, radio and microphone they created a totally analog and dirty death theme. On this CD, 3 bonus tracks are added from the same period. Get prepared for old school! The second disc is a re-release of the 1998 4-track MCD Beautiful Chaos, that was released by Fever Pitch Music, USA. This time it's extended to 10 tracks. Extra material is the two classic tracks Shadowland and Sodom from the Death Odors-compilation and the two tracks from the In the Buchers Backyard-compilation. And as the top of the cake, the CD ends with a bombastic remix of the acopolyptic Final Day, signed The Protagonist, and a 9 min extended version of Shadowland, remixed by Peter Nyström and Magnus Sundström. The sound of Beautiful Chaos is structured and heavy "end of the world-theme" using sampled sounds, mixed in a computer program. Both discs are mastered by the genious of Magnus Sundström.
MEGAPTERA is among the most impressive Swedish industrial projects. For 15 years it has been making its name with powerful, solid and very dark rhythmic music. Many people consider this project to be the forerunner of death industrial substyle of industrial that has triggered the occurrence of a new musical trend and has had numbers of followers all round the world. Throughout its artistic career, MEGAPTERA’s authors have released over 15 albums in the well-known global labels of alternative music and have managed to remain a relevant and interesting cultural phenomenon. Project members describe their music concept as the reflection of the reign of the dark global events in sounds. Madness, violence, lies, wars, diseases and death accompany each and every smallest element of MEGAPTERA’s music and symbolise the driving force of this world. The music is abundant with the topics that the TV news thrust to the masses. They remind of horror films, while the samples of low budget horror thrillers reveal specific and slightly horrific humour of death industrial. And, although MEGAPTERA does not declare any political ideology, its forceful rhythms, very low analogous frequencies and dreary samples disclose not only the horror of the world, which we inhabit, but also the indisputable mastership of MEGAPTERA musicians to grasp the gist of the merciless reality and to manage to convey it in music.
