It might seem strange that a band without a single release to it's name has played concerts and festivals all over Europe. But anyone who has ever experienced Die Weisse Rose on stage knows why.
More than concerts, Die Weisse Rose’s performances are elaborate rituals, caleidoscopic (or even psychedelic) experiences. Elements such as uniforms, burning torches, snippets of old schlägers, segments from documentary films and philosophical proclamations are woven together by orgies of live drums and electronic sounds. Die Weisse strives towards what Wagner called "Gesamtkunstwerke" – total works of art. Die Weisse Rose also like to think of their songs as "audiodocumentaries". To bolster Die Weisse Rose’s lineup (which really consists only of the band’s mastermind, Thomas Bojden) over the years the unit has recruited collaborators to its ranks that makes DWR smack of an Industrial supergroup. From Marco Deplano (Foresta di Ferro), Gerhard (Allerseelen), Kim Larsen (Of the Wand and the Moon) to name but a few. Thomas Bojden played with a who’s who of of the Industrial and Neofolk underground, from well-established outfits like Rome, Blood Axis and Foresta Di Ferro to up-and-coming Austrian neofolk band Klammheim. Now, Die Weisse Rose are for the first time available on record. The album will be released both as deluxe digipack CD with 24 pages booklet and as exclusive vinyl in 3 different vinyl colours (black: 333 copies, white: 133 copies, green: 133 copies).
