Heart-Stopping Performances by
Metropolis Records Recording Artists ★ NØIR ★ The voice of Athan Maroulis will always be linked to the seminal Los Angeles based trio Spahn Ranch, a band that pounded the ’90s industrial scene with an audacious mix of EBM and Electro flavored Synth Pop fused with an atmospheric menacing pall of Goth. Maroulis has also on occasion guested on albums by Razed In Black as well as Black Tape For A Blue Girl.
NOIR musically bridges Maroulis’ Industrial and Gothic past into a very moody electronic present utilizing elements of dance, dark ambient, synth-laced hooks along with touches of glitch and EBM. The result is entitled “Darkly Near”, an album influenced by idealized black and white images of New York City, a contrasting filmic backdrop for the aural futuristic pleasures of NOIR.
Lyrically, Darkly Near is an album of endings, one that travels through a dreamy death trip of sensuality littered with sinewy faded silent film stars, Rod Serling scripts, con men and the forlorn recollections of a solitary man waiting for a train pressed against the machinery of today. Released on the heels of 2012’s successful single “My Dear” that featured an exclusive Assemblage 23 remix, NOIR’s mature yet strikingly refreshing Darkly Near album will be supported with a select series of exclusive live dates.
★ GAREK ★ Fusing Industrial Rock (a la Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson and Garbage) with haunting melodies and explosive choruses, GAREK creates a distinct sonic landscape.
GAREK’s first single “Save The Queen” debuted at #5 on the DRT Indie Rock Chart in the U.S. and #11 on the European chart. London’s EQ Music hailed him as “a deity of Industrial-Electro mastery” while Australia’s DNA Magazine says, “He’s ready to rule the world!” MTV’s LOGO (NewNowNext) says, “for all [his] influences, there’s something distinctive about what Garek is doing.”
GAREK's second release, an Industrial cover of Katy Perry’s #1 hit “E.T.”, also piqued the ears of listeners. "It takes enormous courage to take on a recent hit by another artist and reconstruct it. Garek has that courage. His interpretation is not just appealing, it’s bold and daring. He provides depth and intensity to the lyric and melody that was absent in the original. This track is the perfect gate into a new artist destined to be important and hugely successful."
GAREK also proved his influence extends beyond music as he made his UK debut for the Champagne-inspired jeweler ‘Wearing Memories’ at London Fashion Week. Guests of the sold-out show were treated to a spectacle blending GAREK’s Industrial stylings with ‘Wearing Memories’ classic appeal. Models strutted down the catwalk in black morph suits to GAREK’s “Save The Queen” before GAREK himself closed the show.
