2013 and Future Plans

First of all we want to recapitulate our 2013. To sum it up we really can say that we had a great year with plenty of action on and beside the stage. Our release ‘Out Of The Smell Of Decay‘ brought us a lot of positive feedback, we played an appropriate amount of shows and we met some really interesting people and bands. Furthermore we want to thank every single one that crossed our way last year. The help we received was incredible and sometimes unbelievable. We cannot name you all, ‘cause the list would get too long, but we think the people we speak about know who they are. Thanks to our lovely crew members, to all the filmers, photographers, helping hands at concerts and to all the amazing people at our shows.

So what’s next? Vacation forever, yeah… noooo! Right now we are working on a follow up full length album for our Remix EP from 2013. That’s why we decided to cut back playing live for the moment to get our full concentration on the new material. All we can say is that it will be a full grown concept album with an evolving story from beginning to end. We made a bunch of new demo songs and are now in the process of selecting the best material, so that the story and the music fit perfectly together. After that we will focus on the final lyrics, the vocal parts and the fine details of the songs, so that we can accordingly start the recording process. As you can see, it’s way too early to give any reasonable date for a release, but we intend to release the record in spring 2015. We will keep you informed about that.

BUT: To reduce the long waiting time, we will definitely release a track this year! It will not be a part of the upcoming album, ’cause it doesn’t really fit in this specific concept. All we want to say right now is that you can use your speakers as a hairdryer if your turn up the volume loud enough. Bang, Bang  ;)
