Label Statement

We produce what we want: Rock, Techno, Books. We don't care about the money we spend on highest quality recording/mixing/mastering, but we won't waste time and cash releasing CDs or Vinyls that no one even has the players to listen to anymore, whose production costs are blackmail, and which get zero appreciation from the majority of public

We don't need to sell our recorded music: it's our eternal gift to the world. The deal changes when it comes to live shows and tours, of course

We have our own label FRONT OF HELL Records with our own ethics, so we don't have to beg someone else as if we were penniless teenage chicks looking for a sugar daddy - we've never kissed anyone's boots "please produce us, please promote us" 😆😆 fuck all

We don't give a damn about politics (except that we've never respected lockdowns, never been vaxxed, never ate fake meat or filthy insects, never drove snowflake battery cars, and we prefer to spend our time with real, down-to-earth people, rather than cretin 'celebrities' or social bullshit agendas left or right)

If you want to support us with cash, giving us a hand for new music, press, video releases, you can do it via PayPal to: FrontOfHell@gmail.com — Cheers & FTW 😈🍷 Steve J. Drakos

HEAVY-PUNKROCK: STEVE J. DRAKOS
DARK-TECHNO-TRANCE: DRAKOS KLAN

Two styles, same spirit

The DRAKOS KLAN are: Steve J. Drakos and Alex Drakos, father and son, with collaboration from young grandson Lukáš Drakos. A real clan, based in central Bohemia, Europe

Electric & Electronic Music, in their best forms, are the excellent industrial support of arts. Electricity gives you the input and the might to invent exceptional sonorities that one could not produce otherwise. Creation through technological devices has an immense potential in a vast universe. The strength and the rhythms of the various rock and electro genres are an ecstatic archetype: it is the heart that pumps blood to the brain bringing visions, a primordial call coming back from tens of thousands years through the amplifiers, pickups, microphones, speakers, computers, software and mechanics and the video: a primal magic circle — a catalyst for human trance

In the anesthetized world that has taken form in the recent decades, with its unoffensive, terminal, painless arts and its appalling ‘correct’ politics, the only so-called principle that seems to reign like an indisputable duty is: “You must not make sense.” We, instead, place ourselves among the ones who give a high value to what they are and what they do

We are not DJs, we are musicians playing their own sets. Our songs are the result of an experiment beyond any norm: arose from our own family’s bloodline on hammering sounds, performed on the 1980s punk and skinhead stages and in 1990s discos, tried on the movie sets of the European luxury fetishist pornography that we were shooting for major XXX brands, developed through original influences from cult cinema and by the composing of soundtracks, led to unexpected levels with lyrics inspired by the secret furor of this insane world, all compressed into new cyber or punkrock atmospheres

DRAKOS, for us, is not just generic tunes making: it is a free living force, body and soul, grabbed from the abyss of times and projected towards the future, a discipline of sound storms that makes girls and boys dance wild enjoying moments of full life’s power

Techno and Rock music are both social and antisocial: they give life to house parties with friends, gigs, raves and club nights with thousands of people, loved by millions around the world — but the process of making them, and the live performance, are just Me and My Machines/Instruments doing My work as the mad scientist in the “Metropolis” movie

Our tracks are spiritual energy, our own cult of joy, a personal satisfaction shared with those who can listen like a cool Hell's witchery
