Massimo & Pierce are a duo of producers and performers based in Zurich ( Switzerland ) member formers of Black Sun Productions, Anarcocks, Queen Lear, "COIL live" and creators of "Plastic Spider Thing Show". Beside Black Sun Productions discography features an array of guest artists such as COIL, LYDIA LUNCH, H.R. GIGER, Val Denham, Sudden Infant, Niko Skorpio, Sonne Hagal, Andrew Zealley and many others. Since from 2006 they have collaborated on differet projects with Stefano Rossello ( Bahntier, Detune-X, kETvECTOR ) and " ENOERAEW " is the first full length album as a trio. Tracks produced over the years have been reworked and brand new pieces have been recorded in Spring 2009 at the Anarcocks Home Studio in Zurich. The album has been then mixed and produced by Stefano in Italy. In " ENOERAEW " Massimo & Pierce's experimentalism meets Bahntier's Elctro-Industrial-dance: hypnotic arrangements for an oneiric and poetic journey into the realms of Ritual Music. The themes of Love and Desire, Magic and Death are here insightfully investigated and the result is an aural experience of Electronica, Melodies and Acoustic instruments melting into a tantalizing new genre. The Album contain the cover song of " Sweethome Under White Clouds " by VIRGIN PRUNES.

Here one must leave all hesitation, all hope abandon and enter in.

Ver Sacrum :
La cooperazione tra Black Sun Productions (Massimo & Pierce) e Bahntier (Stefano Rossello) ha inizio nel 2006, ma solo ora si concretizza in Enoeraew, disco che comprende brani composti nel corso di questi anni e rielaborati per l'occasione e materiale assolutamente nuovo. Si tratta di un disco in cui le sperimentazioni di Black Sun Productions incontrano l'elettro-industrial di Bahntier, per quello che risulta essere un rituale articolato in undici tracce di musica sperimentale, un percorso onirico che si snoda attraverso sonorità ipnotiche e brani che si concentrano su temi come il desiderio, la magia e la morte. Un disco non facile da descrivere e da catalogare, ma indubbiamente affascinante e che risente dell'influsso dei Coil. Tra i migliori brani, citazione per "We are here" e per la cover di "Sweet home under white clouds" dei Virgin Prunes.

Gothronic :
After their last album ‘Venal’ Bahntier is back, this time in the form of a collaboration with the experimental formation Black Sun Productions (who worked with guest artists as Coil, Lydia Lunch and H.R. Giger). ‘Enoeraew’ contains older reworked tracks from both acts, but also new pieces of music. While Black Sun Productions is more about atmospheric and experimental music, Bahntier ventures more into the realms of hard electro-industrial, so this collaboration should make an interesting album.The album starts with ‘Veneration X 2009’. The rhythmic elements sound like Bahntier with a more IDM approach, while there are atmospheric (vocal) sounds that seems like the work of Black Sun Productions. ‘We Are Here’ is a nice song that reminds me of the work of David E. Williams, albeit more electro oriented. It’s very atmospheric too with good vocals. ‘Chemism’ is next, which originally came from Black Sun Productions’ ‘Chemism’ album, and now comes in the form of a Dysphoria remix. The song is stretched and twitched to create an atmospheric whole. Next up is ‘Sweet Home Under White Clouds’, which is a cover of a song by The Virgin Prunes. The song is turned into a Black Sun Productions style experimental song. The title track ‘Enoeraew’ is an atmospheric and rhythmical song of almost 10 minutes. The song has very good sound design with the use of vocals. ‘Smell Undefined’ is a hard electro glitch song with lots of bleeps and tweaked sounds. ‘Uncle Billy (His Sperm Mix)’ is again a very atmospheric and experimental Black Sun Productions song with added Bahntier sounds. ‘Homoccult’ is then again more of a glitch song with some nice atmospheric synth work. ‘Interlude’ is just that, a short interlude of weird sounds and drones. ‘Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep’ is a very quiet and beautiful song with a dark and sad undercurrent. The album ends with ‘Summer Of 1969’, which starts with a minute of silence before nice synth work and guitars come up; the sound of summer emerging.‘Enoeraew’ is a good and very interesting album. It really combines the experimentalism of Black Sun Productions with the more electronic and rhythmical sounds of Bahntier to create an original sound. Recommended to lovers of experimental, yet accessible, electronic music.

Reflection Of Darkness
ENOERAEW’ is a collaboration album of the experimental sound and performance group BLACK SUN PRODUCTIONS and BAHNTIER, an Italian project that could perhaps be best described as electro-industrial that leans heavily on industrial metal but also on dance, especially break-beat. The different backgrounds of the projects are reflected on the album: 'Veneration X' mixes computer sounds with chanting while the groovy background in 'We Are Here' brings in mind the Bristol sound and 'Chemism (Dysphoria mix)' has a pulsating bass line reminiscent of old-school EBM. In a Virgin Prunes cover ‘Sweet Home under White Clouds’ a chanting choir, backed only by a subtle drum and bright bell sounds, takes a ritualistic twist to the original. Chanting and recitation also have a prominent role in title song 'ENOEWRAEW', which is also perhaps the best synthesis of the two artists’ music on the album. The characteristic computer sounds on ‘Smell Undefined’ make it more modern, IDM-like, but the chanting is back in 'Uncle Billy (His Sperm mix)'. Here, human voice is used also as an instrument and at times is so heavily processed it's hard to distinguish it from synthesizer sounds. Sinister bubbling of ‘Homoccult’ is followed by another instrumental track, ‘Interlude’, and funereal yet soothing ‘Don't Stand at My Grave and Weep’. The album ends with the mellow ‘Summer of 1969’, another instrumental track with folky tunes and airy flutes.The performance and lyrics are theatrical, absurd - and openly homosexual throughout the album. While some of the theatrical performance can be conveyed through the recording, these elements are for the most part missing. Visuals and performance have been part of BLACK SUN PRODUCTIONS from the beginning and there’s no denying this music is best enjoyed live.
