Panic Transistor

About:
With their new longplayer Sadako reached the next step in their developing career. The album was recorded December 2011/January 2012 at green fairy studios Gloggnitz, Austria and was mixed and mastered in March 2012 by Eike Freese (Dark Age, Gamma Ray, Callejon) at Hammer Studios Hamburg, Germany.

The new songs show a mature grown band which gathered experience after two self-released CD's “Bedtime Stories” 2005 and “Hikikomori” 2008 and a bunch of livegigs e.g. on their “tor[tour]” through Austria in 2008/09 or festival gigs like Metalcamp Slovenia, Rocky Mountains Festival & Wake Up Festival. The new songs are set to spread the unique "sadako-tunes" across the globe.


The History:

Sadako was founded in 2004. In the same year they recorded a demo called “papa’s gonna bomb you…” This demo filled with a mixture of hard metal riffs over gothic and industrial sounds to drum’n’bass styled loops showed the core of development sadako had targeted. In January 2005 after several line-up changes they recorded their first longplay-CD “Bedtime Stories” which gathered critical acclaim all over Europe. After they played several club and festival gigs in Austria they began songwriting for their second self released CD “Hikikomori”. This Longplayer was recorded in 2007 and saw the light of day in January 2008. Following the release of “Hikikomori” Sadako played their first headliner tour called “tor[tour]” through austria in spring 2008 followed by several festival gigs in summer. After that there were again several line-up changes due to personal matters in the lifes of some bandmembers and so the new band was finally completed in summer 2011. Due to the long time it took to complete the band there were many songideas collected and so, after a short time of “teambuilding”, Sadako started recording their 3rd album in December 2011 at green fairy studios Gloggnitz, Austria.

About the music:
Sadako have created their own little space in the whole cosmic of musical genres. An outstanding mixture of industrial metal, alternative, gothic and visual kei is the foundation of the musical landscapes they create. The basic idea behind the whole concept of Sadako is to combine all the musical variations you can find in the long history of heavy music, spice that with some electronic sounds and so new colourful music is created.
