Nihilista was born in Breslau. Growing up on the outskirts of civilization. His first lullaby was the sound of post-communist factories. Initially involved in punk subculture, and then slowly dissolving into the industrial and the occult scenes (Der Sieg, Quadriga Sexualis). In 1999 he moved to London, which has been his harbour ever since. Penetrating the underbelly of London's nightlife, he's active in both the occult and fetish communities. During the recording of the "Divine Misanthropy" album, the band gained a new member - in the shape of Goter.

The Brooklyn-based orchestral pop band THE SILENT LEAGUE originated as the solo identity of singer Justin Russo in the late nineties. While a keyboardist with Mercury Rev in support of the critically acclaimed albums "Deserter's Songs" (V2) and "All Is Dream" (V2), Russo secretly stole each available moment in a busy tour schedule to write and record his own fragile and epic LP, "The Orchestra, Sadly, Has Refused".

The quintet -- Ted Poley (vocals), Andy Timmons (guitar), Bruno Ravel (bass), Steve West (drums), and Kasey Smith (keyboards) Landed a deal with Epic in 1989. The same year saw the release of the group's self-titled debut, spawning the single/video "Naughty Naughty," which enjoyed a few airings on MTV's Headbanger's Ball program. The album failed to break the group through to the big time, but the group stuck to their guns and issued further albums: 1992's Screw It, 1995's Dawn, 1998's Four the Hard Way, and 2000's Return of the Great Gildersleeves.

London's Silvery's debut album 'THUNDERER & EXCELSIOR' is14-track blast of infectious eccentric British pop and an essential release for 2008. Crafted in their East London studio with Kevin Feazey and mastered by John Davis, the album features both sides of previous sold-out single 'HORRORS' / 'ORDERS'' and their second single 'DEVIL IN THE DETAIL' and radio hit 'ACTION FORCE'. Most of the album has been spun by Steve Lamacq (6 Music and Radio1)...
