Terminatryx DVD Launch E-mail

Terminatryx DVD LaunchTERMINATRYX

(pronounced: “terminaytrix”)

A NEW BREED OF SOUTH AFRICAN MUSIC

DVD Launch: 20 December @ ROAR, Lower Main Rd., Observatory, Cape Town

 

Five months after the critically acclaimed self-titled TERMINATRYX album release, this unique phenomenon in the South African music scene has again gone an unpredictable, unconventional route.

 

On Halloween 2008 TERMINATRYX released their first DVD, “TERMINATRYX / NOSFERATU”.  For the first time ever in South Africa an Alternative/Extreme band fuses with an historic cinematic classic.

This 2-hour package does not only contain music videos, live clips, biogs, photo galleries and extras as expected, but also includes the dark short film imPERFECTION (made by the band and featuring their music). 

Besides the engrossing music contained herein, the crown jewel of this distinctive package is the inclusion of the full 1922 silent vampire classic film NOSFERATU, with the new TERMINATRYX soundtrack as performed live at its 2006 South African HORRORFEST Film Festival screening (with very special guests Sean & Simon from LARK, Francois from K.O.B.U.S. & V.O.D, and Matthijs from DAWNTREADER).

The blend of Industrial soundscapes, ominous vocal moods, and dark energy also includes instrumentation ranging from upright bass, woodwinds, and theremin, to live percussion samples, sound FX, electric violin and metal guitars – breathing new life into this phenomenal, timeless motion picture of vampires and immortal love.

 

This is the first time a South African band has released a DVD containing a feature film with their soundtrack, furthermore expanding the TERMINATRYX identity as far from lackluster.

  • “Nosferatu” – the feature film with its new Terminatryx soundtrack (plus special guest musicians), recorded live - Halloween 2006
