SAMSAS TRAUM
- Unbeugsam - Unberechenbar - Unsterblich
In September 2011 the world experienced the final SAMSAS TRAUM tour: mastermind ALEXANDER KASCHTE unexpectedly announced that he didn’t want to play live any more and that the tour in late summer would mark his final sendoff from the stage. With their latest album ‘Anleitung zum Totsein’ in the bag, SAMSAS TRAUM embarked on a two and a half week journey through Germany and Austria for that final tour, culminating in a breathtaking concert in the Matrix in Bochum: that legendary club in which SAMSAS TRAUM had already enjoyed huge success at the beginning of their career, and at which the Ruhr Valley audience proved themselves, as always, to be particularly passionate.

WEENA MORLOCH
- Terror Über Alles - Das Weena Morloch-Manifest
No other band in the German gothic/industrial scene is so shrouded in legend and rumour as WEENA MORLOCH. While recording their bloodcurdling debut album ‘Kunst-X=?’, the band based around SAMSAS TRAUM mastermind ALEXANDER KASCHTE caused a fire in the studio. The iconic and likewise long since sold out follow-up ‘Kadaverkomplex’, which commands astronomical sums on eBay, appeared a few days before the school massacre in Erfurt, Germany and yet due to the megahit ‘Kugel im Gesicht (9mm)’ (English translation: ‘Bullet in the face (9mm)’) appeared briefly in the charts and was (mis)used by ResistantX, who carried out a shooting spree in Emsdetten, in the soundtrack to his violent videos.

ASP - Eisige Wirklichkeit
The masterpiece „fremd“ still haunts our auditory channels, the memories of the bygone tour still are fresh in our minds. Yet there are already news from the outland – in guise of an elaborate single that belies its name with a total playing time of almost three (!) hours and proves how much really can be done with that format. What is so special about this release is that you have chosen which track would be lifted next from this bottomless treasure chest of musical Gothic novels – in an unparalleled fan voting where ASP put their entire trust into their followers.

ROME - Die Aesthetik der Herrschaftsfreiheit (Part 1)
PART 1 OF THE TRILOGY "DIE AESTHETIK DER HERRSCHAFTSFREIHEIT". The aesthetic dimension of this first volume is that of immediacy. This is made plain by the choice of the recording techniques used (throughout the entire production, Jerome Reuter used only analogue equipment) and the raw and unrelenting sound.

TYING TIFFANY - Dark Days, White Nights
They have become exceedingly rare, these icons, these muses, these vamps. Whatever happened to times like the sixties and seventies when women like NICO inspired not only ANDY WARHOL and THE VELVET UNDERGROUND but a whole generation of artists; when art was more than the mere outcome of a creative period? Where have they gone, these apparitions on whose lips we hung, whom we beheld in utter marvel? Oh, they still exist, to be sure. And with TYING TIFFANY, one of them even found her home in the goth scene.

SAMSAS TRAUM vs. WEENA MORLOCH - Käfer.Maden.Würmer.Spinnen.
With his bands SAMSAS TRAUM and WEENA MORLOCH, ALEXANDER KASCHTE has terrorised the German music scene for over one and a half decades and has achieved great success, despite all the enviousness and prophecies of doom. He has appeared on the soundtracks to the Hollywood blockbusters ‘SAW II’ and ‘SAW III’ and has composed music for the Vienna Theatre. On his most recent SAMSAS TRAUM and WEENA MORLOCH albums, he ably mastered a balancing act between the musical past and the more fully-developed music of the present day: ‘Anleitung zum Totsein’ and ‘Amok’ were enthusiastically received by fans and press alike and are widely regarded as being the pinnacle of KASCHTE’s career to date.

BLACK HEAVEN - Dystopia
From the very beginning, BLACK HEAVEN was much more than the mere side project of MANTUS mastermind Martin Schindler. Destined to be an artistic complement to MANTUS, the missing jigsaw piece in Martin's work, BLACK HEAVEN creates darkly electronic visions that in no way fall behind the profound depth of the Gothic figurehead that is Mantus. Now, three years after the last album, BLACK HEAVEN returns – with the equally long awaited and essential „Dystopia“.

MANTUS - Sünder
On their last studio album „Zeichen“,MANTUS portrayed a world on its way to the abyss, populated by a thoughtless species acting like God while failing to see which irreparable damage this behavior causes. The brand new EP “Sünder” (“sinner”) continues this apocalyptic picture, is even more hopeless, more desolate and darker than the last album.

ASP - fremd
Who or what is ASP? A good many people will already have asked themselves this due to the name cropping up so often in the upper reaches of the official German music charts, as if out of the dark nothingness. A first impression which is not deceiving, as ASP definitely come out of the darkness, from the dark side of music, although their artistic existence goes much deeper.

NACHTMAHR – Can You Feel The Beat
Every army is only as strong as each separate soldier. No one is more aware of that than Supreme Commander and Beat General Thomas Rainer who gathered an international fan army around him that is more than ready to follow NACHTMAHR into battle. The name of the last studio album “Semper Fidelis” (“Always faithful”) has long since become the creed of the Imperial Industrial destroyer – an oath reaching entirely new dimensions with the brand new EP “Can You Feel The Beat?”.

ASP - Wechselbalg
The iron-clad wooden door closes behind you with a fateful bang. Utter darkness surrounds you; no ray of light pierces the stygian blackness. The smell of old wood, leather-bound books and candle wax saturates the air, bids us welcome like an old friend. Long we were absent, long the gates to this realm were barred. But no more. ASP have returned. And it feels like they have never been absent.

WEENA MORLOCH - Amok
ALEXANDER KASCHTE has many faces – for some years he has been making mischief in the international gothic and metal underworld with his band SAMSAS TRAUM. Although his death-industrial project has up to now been notorious for gruesome, nerve-wracking adventures in noise, WEENA MORLOCH now surprise us with a complete album of ‘normal’ but no less insane music. In the style of the legendary dancefloor stormer ‘Kugel im Gesicht’ KASCHTE pummels our ears with eleven killer tracks which have it all!

SAMSAS TRAUM - Anleitung zum Totsein
The master of symphonic gothic music, the undisputed king of German fairytale-metal is back – ALEXANDER KASCHTE presents a new studio album by his controversial band SAMSAS TRAUM. The last three SAMSAS TRAUM releases were rather experimental in nature: with the black metal hurricane ‘Heiliges Herz’, the intimate acoustic ‘Wenn schwarzer Regen’ and the death ‘n’ roll birthday release ‘13 Jahre lang dagegen – Anti bis zum Tod’ (which doesn’t count as an official release), the ‘Käferkönig’ materialised firing on all cylinders. The latest album ‘Anleitung zum Totsein’ returns to the band’s roots and skilfully combines all of the SAMSAS TRAUM motifs into a thrilling and intense hour of music. Bombastic orchestration collides with massive walls of guitars and violent bass attacks interweave with deadly accurate drum salvos to form a homogenous whole which lays the foundations for KASCHTE’s inimitable singing and vocal acrobatics.

:GOLGATHA: - The Horns Of Joy
Over the last few years the German group :GOLGATHA:, who were founded in 2004 as a dark ambient band, have succeeded in cultivating their own unique style via a series of ambitious concept albums and live appearances. They describe this style as ‘ritual folk’: their highly original fusion of percussive world music elements with ethereal female vocals and earthy folk songs conjures up the spirits of DEAD CAN DANCE, IN THE NURSERY and JOCELYN POOK as well as those of LEONARD COHEN, SOL INVICTUS and CURRENT 93. Sounds of enraptured beauty come up against dark ecstacies and pessimistic visions. ‘The Horns of Joy’ is dedicated to the nihilistic tendencies of the early 20th century – and their necessary overcoming.

ROME - Our Holy Rue/The Merchant Fleet
Gone! Gone are the days of mellow and lush ballads, it seems - for this is ROME at its rawest! As an artist Jerome Reuter remains completely unpredictable, which may come as a shock to those who discovered ROME as a Chanson Noir outfit: What you are looking for is gone for good! "Our Holy Rue" is a harsh, industrial beauty: relentless and uncompromising. And the rather folkish song "The Merchant Fleet" is an instant classic, dedicated to Jerome's brotherhood of the sea!

THE GIRL & THE ROBOT - Silence * Borderline
When formulating his Three Laws of Robotics in 1942, Isaac Asimov would never have reckoned that one day, a pretty girl would of all things get involved with one of these heartless, calculating, programmatic machines he later seminally described in “I, Robot”. Otherwise, he would have put one law far above the other laws that robots are not allowed to hurt humans, have to obey humans as well as have to protect themselves: If a girl and a robot are about to make music together, this relationship is to be supported.

In the summer of 2010, PROJECT PITCHFORK put us through their infernally intense Dark Electro journey named “Continuum Ride”.

And still not even the faintest sign of fatigue, as the groundbreaking quality of “Continuum Ride” or a fantastic rank 21 in the German Album Charts impressively prove.

But whoever thought that calm would return after the last battle, and who believes that the dreams of the SCHWARZER ENGEL comprise delightful pictures and contemplative sounds… is mistaken, luckily.

ASP: for years this name has stood for the most successful German gothic rock band and, irrespective of genre, for a concert recommendation par excellence. In 2008, the likeable band from Frankfurt went consistently further down their chosen creative path and released their masterpiece ‘Zaubererbruder – Der Krabat-Liederzyklus’ (very modestly billed as a ‘between-album’), yet another grand double album which was received enthusiastically by critics and fans alike.
