MIEL NOIR is back with a new CD almost three years after the release of the last full-length album. “The Phoenix-Swarm” will be released by the labels Aorta (Austria) and FolkWorld (Germany).

The duo consisting of MARCEL P. (known for his work with ALLERSEELEN, SAGITTARIUS, FAHL, SVARROGH and more) and DIMO DIMOV (known for his work with SVARROGH, ALLERSEELEN, FAHL, STURMPERCHT and more) is once again aided by GERHARD HALLSTATT of ALLERSEELEN and two of their regular female vocalists, namely LISA and ESTELLA PLUNKETT who have both also worked with ALLERSEELEN in the past.

The new 16 track album “The Phoenix-Swarm” covers a number of styles, ranging from dark electro/EBM and minimal electro to martial neoclassic, from industrial to melodic darkwave, from piano ballads to gothic rock and dark ambient.

The project’s regular musicians and vocalists were joined for recordings by a number of well-known artists. The guests on “The Phoenix-Swarm” are electronic music icon TOMMI STUMPFF of STUMPFF, ROBERT N. TAYLOR of CHANGES, SATHORYS ELENORTH of DER BLAUE REITER, KRYS. KOSEDA of EXTREME CHROMO (formerly of ALIEN SEX FIEND and Nik Turner’s HAWKWIND) and JURICA JELIĆ.

The CD also includes two remixes by INSECT PLASMA and DARKNESS ON DEMAND (formerly DANCE OR DIE, also WINTERHART) and was mastered by FALGALAS of DARKNESS ON DEMAND.

The album comes with a beautifully designed 8-page booklet in a clear tray case. It is the follow-up to the widely recognized albums "HONEY & ASH" (Steinklang Industries, 2011), "FROM THE ASHES" (Indiestate Distribution, 2015) and "HONEY-BEAT" (Caustic Records, 2016).
