A mix of Johnny Cash and Lestat from “The Vampire Chronicles”, acoustic guitar and a clear voice, this is Shino’s “Acoustic Gothic” – melancholic darkness finding their salvation by the light of deliberately taken emotions. A hand to accompany the listener through the depths of his own, brings him back to the surface in order to free him by the awakened consciousness of his own hell.

The new album “Transition” is a collection of old and new songs. Shino creates for those who want to know what “Shino” sounds like a reference album. But even seasoned fans should find pleasure in the new quality of the album. “Transition” is a good deal closer to the listeners and with two new songs (“Melancholia” and “Fall Days”), a new recording of “Schlaflied” and the guitar version of “My Mistress” old fans will find new facets at Shino as well

“Transition” stands for a passage, a change, maybe even a mutation or metamorphosis. This album reflects the process, in which a human personality experiences a mental cleansing during the search for the meaning and explanation of life. It is a catharsis of modernity, which is brought to life in 21 songs.

After his album “Best Of” and “Winter Solstice” and the recently released single “My Mistress”, this is the fourth publication of Shino on the German Nelabel afmusic. The album “Transition” will be – like its predecessor – released in a free version under a Creative Commons license, and will be finally available as well at all major download stores on 22th of February 2011.

After both albums “Best of” and “Winter Solsctice” Shino will release another single called “My Mistress” at afmusic once again. “My Mistress” is a return to their own roots, conscious sparingly in the instrumentation. Instead of acoustic guitar there is just a piano backing the melancholy vocals.

Acoustic gothic at its best, and another serious attempt to play honest and vivid music. The single will be available on 08/23/2010 at afmusic and at all known downloadstores as well.

Secretely, silently and quietly – as usual for this season – two more albums have been released via afmusic. And they could not be more different: whereas Shino with “Winter Solstice” rather pitches calm acoustic melodies, chapter 1 and 2 of Deied’s trilogy “…The…End…& Poisoned Wisdom” dominates with tunes reminding of NIN, Ministry, Velvet Acid Christ and Hocico instead.

Info Shino:
A mixture of Johnny Cash and Lestat from “Chroniken der Vampire (Chronicles Of Vamire)” and therefore an utterly new and individual dimension of music getting under your skin and running through the blood straight to human’s hearts; being kept in a minimalistic way, yet so complex in its lively emotion and its sense of touching lyrics.

Acoustic guitars and a clear voice, this is “Acoustic Gothic” – melancholic darkness finding its salvation through the light of consciously taken emotions. A hand leading the listener through his own mental depths back to the surface to disburden him from his own hell by this aroused consciousness.

“Winter Solstice” is the second album by Shino, available via afmusic and Bandcamp (http://shino.bandcamp.com) download with self set price available for fans.

Info Deied:
Since 2007, Deied have released countless tracks under the Creative-Commons-License. Their earnings are the applause and the donations by their listeners. All their songs are appear dark and gloomy and always transmit a certain “Insanity”. “…The…End…& Poisoned Wisdom” as Chapter 1 and 2 of the Trilogy Pt.1 includes 19 tracks with a musical tension zone between NIN, Laibach and Velvet Acid Christ. Sometimes aggressive (“Evil Mind”), sometimes melancholic (“Ancient Rites & Imported Gods”) and sometimes in a dark Goth-Style (“Schattentanz & Morning Sun”).

The production of “…The…End…& Poisoned Wisdom” was supported by “din- tah æon” who was responsible for the additional guitars and basses, the mixing and the mastering. Since the release of “…The…End…& Poisoned Wisdom”, “din- tah æon” is considered a full member of Deied.

The Double-EP with the included additional tracks “Masses Have To Move” and “Get Out Of My Head” is available via Bandcamp (http://deied.bandcamp.com) as well as in all well-known music-download-stores.

Eine Mischung aus Johnny Cash und Lestat aus “Chroniken der Vampire” und somit eine völlig neue individuelle Dimension der Musik, die direkt unter die Haut geht, um in dem Blut das Herz des Menschen zu ergreifen. Sehr minimalistisch gehalten und doch so aufwendig in der lebendigen Emotion und dem Sinn der bewegenden Texte.

Akustische Gitarre und klare Stimme, daraus besteht “Acoustic Gothic” – melancholische Dunkelheit, die durch das Licht der bewusst ergriffenen Emotionen zu ihrer Erlösung findet. Eine Hand, die den Zuhörer durch die eigenen Tiefen durchzieht und wieder an die Oberfläche bringt, um ihn durch das geweckte Bewusstsein aus der eigenen Hölle zu befreien.
