Greifenkeil is an “acoustic performance project” (really an electro-industrial act) that just recently released an amazing album called Symbol on May 18th. It was inspired by recent archaeological discoveries in Germany and Austria which prove the existence of a European civilization 7000 years ago. The album was issued in 2 formats on the original date: a regular CD version and a CD plus remixes version. A few weeks later on June 1st, a limited collector’s edition was released with a bonus disc featuring many more remixes by several other German bands.

The music on the album is fantastic. It is dark and atmospheric. The electronics really pulsate with a deep energy. I really wish I had more to offer you for this one, but Greifenkeil’s Myspace page only has a few samples, no full length songs. But you can preview 45 seconds of every song over on Infrarot.de.
