Details:
The Reign of terror was the period after the French revolution where the assemblee executed many enemies of the revolution by means of the guillotine. Many of the people who used to be in power had their heads chopped off. The people where unhappy. Right now the people are unhappy again when the world spirals into depression and economic hardship. We have Occupy, Anonymous, the tea party and others will follow. Soon the guillotines will be erected again and we will se another REIGN OF TERROR. Payback is a bitch!

Reign Of Terror was composed, recorded ,mixed and mastered february-november 2011 at the Bulb Area 51 Research Facility (As usual). New Darkness Recordings ND 56

The Peoples Republic of Europe is a hardtechno/darkcore/rhytmnic noise outfit from the Netherlands. They blend in elements of funk, disco, hiphop, dancehall, EBM, techno and the likes in harsch powernoise. This explosive cocktail of influences made them into one of the leading powernoise acts in the world, and an act destined to explode every dancefloor.

tPROE started out on the 4th of june 2000, when [K] bought a version of Cubase VST 3.5 and started experimenting with it. On this and the following days the first demoalbum "Cumulonimbus" was made and released on CDr. This album contains 6 darkambient noise tracks, and received some good attention. In the following years tPROE released more demoalbums. tPROE never believed in short demo's for promotion and started releasing albums from the start. The second demo album "Thirst" marked the shift to rhytmnic noise. Some tracks were darkambient like on the first album, and others were already hard stompers like the latter work. On the third album "Steel and honour" the shift was complete, and apart from an isolated track here and there tPROE became a hardtechno/rhytmnic noise band.

In this time tPROE started playing live as well. XLII joined on steel percussion and some shows were played. Highlight being a bandbattle in Haarlem, where the organisation did forbid the jury to choose tPROE as winner because "The music was to extreme".

After this tPROE released the fourth demo album "Among the ruins" and the live album "The siege of Alkmaar". Especially the first one did sell extremely well. The decision was made to release the next album as a real CD. In these days [NOIR] joined the band for live vocals. In 2004 the first album "Juche" was released which was a concept album about North Korea. Critics were favourable, though many thought it odd tPROE didn't critizise the DPKR's regime.

The breakthrough came with the second CD "Monopoly of violence". Several songs on this album made it into clubhits, and there were again frowns because of the inclusion of the coversong "Pulling on the boots" from the Romper stomper soundtrack. In these years tPROE also started playing bigger festivals like Summer Darkness, Noise:nation and Noise central fest, and started playing bigger gigs with well known industrial and hardtechno acts like Terrorfakt, Winterkalte, Mono no aware, Alec Empire, Hocico, Mono-Amine and others. After this tPROE released two more albums. "Under stress" did consolidate the status of tPROE, and "Lubrication" did smash up the clubs once again.

In 2008 tPROE was offered a labeldeal with the Denver, USA based label Vendetta music. On this label the fifth album "Singularity" was released to much acclaim. In this time [NOIR] left the band to concentrate on his own Aryan cock-rock band "Jugend" and Statik and Puck joined the tPROE for live shows. In 2009 tPROE released the 6th album "babylon" and did tours in Europe and the USA bringing sonic destruction worldwide. "Babylon" which incorporated even more influences outside standard industrial became a favourite of many, and some even claimed it was up there among the classic albums in industrial music. That path was set forth with "Machine District" of which the digital version was released in september 2011 and the CD in february 2012. TPROE also caused a scandal by making a parody on Ext!ze's song "Gothic pussy" called "Gothic ass" which became a huge clubhit, and of which the video on youtube as of this moment netted 140.000 views.

Currently TPROE is in between label deals and is busy writing new tracks which they will selfrelease digitally after which they will decide to stay selfreleasing or sign a new deal with the current or other label. The EP "Reign of Terror" is the first of a series of EP's and singles which will be released during 2012.
