ASP - Verfallen–Folge 2: Fassaden

2016-04-01 (News)

‘Verfallen' – The nerve-wracking finale! Inspired by bestselling German author Kai Meyer's short story ‘Das Fleisch der Vielen' (‘The Flesh of Many'), which was written exclusively for this project, ASP unleash the wonderful, tragic, yet romantic horror story - featuring protagonists Paul and the mysterious spectral figure ‘Astoria' – onto their delighted audience. In this second part Asp now creates a veritable maelstrom of gripping twists and turns throughout the narration. We quickly come to realize that just like the main character Paul, what we think we know about the story is only really the tip of an evermore menacing iceberg that lurks within its depths. Despite all the horrors that the music lover is presented with here, ASP have seldom sounded so melodic and catchy while still remaining subtly morbid. The horrors unfold in detail, slowly and in a creeping fashion - just like in an H.P. Lovecraft story.

Nachtmahr - Kampfbereit

2016-03-29 (News)

The new Nachtmahr record "Kampfbereit" ("Ready for combat") is heralding a return to the apocalyptic din of the project's early releases and is shrouding the aggressive title in an industrial colossus. More than ever before in its provocative career, Nachtmahr is the nightmare personified for all those numerous people who are painfully aware of merely having jumped aboard this monstrous TBM train. It is the metallic noise of resistance. It is the wailing outcry of the sirens. It is the thundering bellow of a thousand marching boot. It is superiority's very own music. "Kampfbereit" is uniting the memorable songwriting of the later efforts with the sound of the early works to a bloody bond of Imperial Industrial. It is the very essence, the sum of all this project ever stood for, is standing and will stand, additionally strengthened by a relentlessly precise production handled by Krischan Wesenberg - Rotersand. Resistance is futile.
The first edition of the album is released as a strictly limited edition in book format - only 2000 copies.

Junksista - American Love Story

2016-03-28 (News)

"American Love Story" mini-album is the soundtrack that Junksista scored for the award winning horror short film by talented director Timur Örge (Mumukuba).
The first time that Timur talked to Diana and Boog about their potential collaboration for this soundtrack, he told them "the problem is....the deadline is in 6 hours!?". Where most artists would have run away screaming with both arms in the air, our two crazy cats were immediately up for the challenge and created the song "Gift" right on time… the rest is history: Junksista triggered such enthusiasm with this dark and aggressive song, that Timur promptly decided to postpone the release of his movie, asking Junksista to write and produce the music for the entire film.
7 new tracks are inspired by the dense tension-loaded atmospheres and the almost deviant darkness of Mumukuba's images.
