Comment on the TERMINATRYX July 4th album launch performance
by Jon Monsoon:
"Oh yes, it was good! Kudos and max. respect to Paul & Sonja for pushing the boundaries a lil' further out, challenging the perceptions of what a 'live gig' is all about. (It was difficult to remain seated in the theatre as the music definitely leant itself to bodily gyrations of the extreme sort, still it was fun to see people rocking out in their chairs!). Closing song 'Siek + Sat' was brought to vivid life with awesome effect thanks to some simple yet damn effective visuals! This band definitely has many facets; what you hear recorded on CD is just one, live is another... and visually - yet another... sonically this band is next level.... Support them...!
Looking forward to seeing what they put together for the VNV Nation show!"

The TERMINATRYX album was released in May 2008 thru ENT!

The long awaited TERMINATRYX album was released May 2008 release through ENT Entertainment, South Africa - distributed by IRIS (cat. no. CDENT 010)

a Flamedrop Production

TERMINATRYX (pronounced: "terminaytrix") – a new breed of South African music.

The TERMINATRYX sound is a unique one in the South African musical milieu with the combination of striking vocalist Sonja Ruppersberg and the music of extreme music veteran Paul Blom (V.O.D, F8, and SAMA winners K.O.B.U.S.) blending into an Industrial-Metal soundscape rarely found in this country.
In addition there are many musical elements subtly filtering through across the diverse songs, from Alternative-, Hard Core- and Punk flavours, to Electronic-, Dark Wave- and Gothic hints.

From the start TERMINATRYX never attempted to sound like anyone out there, developing an identity all their own with inspiration coming from cinematic moods rather than other musical references.

The undercurrent of the fusion-, symbiosis- and corruption of man & technology is illustrated and supplemented with subjects ranging from socio-political issues, individualism & independent thought, consumerism, a critical tirade in Afrikaans, a love song alternative, biological- and viral infection, alien visitation, instrumentals and more.
Reacting on the state of the world (and beyond), there is no mincing of words.

With a natural aversion to cheap commercial sentiments and a blind consumer society, TERMINATRYX is truly a unique South African audio adventure, looking at the world with a satirical eye as they take the listener through a juxtaposed range of sonic intensity and calm, merging technology with the organic in a David Cronenberg vs. H.R Giger trip.

Produced by Paul, the track elements were re-recorded in February 2008 at Flamedrop Productions (with many of the original segments recorded since 2003 retained).

All of the songs are original creations with Sonja and Paul also acting as executive producers.

Early March 2008 Paul entered Sound & Motion Studios to accompany Simon "Fuzzy" Ratcliffe across a 10-day period to mix the album. The final mastering was done late-March.

Fuzzy also guests on the instrumental track ABSINTHIUM with upright bass and a variety of exotic flutes, adding an organic emotional element to the predominantly electronically programmed backbone of the track.
Another guest includes original guitarist Tom Somers with lead segments on SLEEPWALKERS and WE COME IN PEACE.
Jenna Bird added a few well-placed bars of piano on SIEK+SAT.
A German nursery rhyme narrated by Christina Storm opens the song MIDNIGHT.

Exclusive audio samples of selected new recordings from the album (as well as demo versions) can be heard at these on-line destinations:

SIEK+SAT > www.MyNoise.co.za/terminatryx (the only Afrikaans song – translated: Sick + Tired)
VIRUS > www.MySpace.com/terminatryxxx
CONsume > www.ReverbNation.com/terminatryx
SLEEPWALKERS > www.LoadTheShow.com/show/TERMINATRYX
MIDNIGHT (music video) > www.YouTube.com/terminatryx

The album cover pictures were shot by Graham Abbott (of One Productions), with design, art-direction & post-production by Paul.

The video clip MIDNIGHT is included as an enhanced CD segment on the album (as well as a web link). The video features clips from F.W. Murnau’s silent German classic Nosferatu.
TERMINATRYX also created an original soundtrack for Nosferatu with collaborators from Lark, performed live to the screen at the 2006 South African HORRORFEST Film Festival (a DVD of which will be released in October 2008).

At the 2007 Fest they gave The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari the same mood-drenched treatment, while the TERMINATRYX live soundtrack for the 2008 HORRORFEST will be the legendary Häxan - Witchcraft Through The Ages (again with special guests – www.HORRORFEST.info )

The Midnight video clip (and others) are also at www.YouTube.com/terminatryx. Two versions can be found here, with either the new audio track or the older demo version.

Album launch shows are set for May 2008:

Flamedrop- & VanniePadaf Productions will host the co-operative Gauteng shows

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=14490291771
While not performing at the Metal 4 Africa Winterfest (Klein Libertas, Stellenbosch) on Sat 7 June, there will be a TERMINATRYX presence.

Updates will appear on the website and other profile pages.
CDs and merchandise (incl. T-Shirts) will be on sale at the shows.

While Paul handled all of the album’s instrumentation, additional musicians will be incorporated for live shows, with a synched-up video projection accompanying the music set to give the audience a unique audio-visual experience.

TERMINATRYX:
SONJA: Lead & Backing Vocals
PAUL: Guitars, Bass, Drums & Programming, Keyboards, Backing Vocals
PATRICK: Guitar for live performances (from Mind Assault)
RONNIE: Drums for live performances (ex-Grämlich)

In a televised talent show-, and mock reality drenched commercial media decline, TERMINATRYX is not merely a breath of fresh air, but a long awaited new direction out to rattle the cage just enough to make a saturated public stand still and think, "hey, there's more to it than this..." - even if for only a moment.
But as we know, a moment can be a multitude of infinities - depending on the way you look at it.

Foreign distribution and licensing is underway.
