Ilse Koch – Extreme decor
by Hugo on Sep.01, 2010, under Zine
- “Why write about a Nazi bitch? Are you a Nazi?” Thinks the ignorant brain. No, I´m not, I knew Ilse because of “Ilsa, shewolf of the SS”, and the gigantic breasts of Dyanne Thorne.
But why shouldn´t I share with you one of the intriguing aspects of the Third Reich? Here goes:
During World War 2 she was known as the “Bitch of Buchenwald ” (“Die Hexe von Buchenwald”) for her bestial cruelty (continue reading…)
Ataraxia – Llyr – 2010

Llyr – 2010
There´s nothing like a record in the vein of “Llyr” to relax from a day of dealing with assholes, and make note that i´m not a proctologist. Yes, that´s right, you´ve just read that as an introduction to a review of a Darkwave album, ain´t that refreshing?
Unfortunely the internet forums of gothic fans are filled with metalheads and people who just like to follow the dress-in-black fashion, so, there´s no feedback at all of the performance of Ataraxia in Portugal.
I couldn´t make it to that concert due to work related issues, so many others don´t even have an excuse to have lost this event.
Ataraxia is a unique project that drinks from several fountains: performance art, photography, ancient myths and instruments, Darkwave and Folk with Ethereal influences, a truly ecletic mix.
“Llyr” is their 13th effort to date, and doesn´t disapoint the legion of fans this Italian band has been gathering since 1990. Francesca Nicoli has a powerful and unmistakable voice, singing in different ranges and languages. A favourite of mine since I discovered “Il Fantasma Dell’Opera” in 96. I get the sense that the Ethereal aspect is more evident in this recording, and that´s always a good thing when you´re dealing with such a talented group. The professionalism of the musicians is also unquestionable, creating the ambience to relax while enjoying this great new album.
Top picks:
1 – Siqillat
2 – Scarborough Fair
4 – Llyr
5 – Elldamaar (Part 1)
7 – Klepsydra
