4 new releases out today

There’s been so much news lately that I haven’t really had any time to tell you about 4 more releases that are hitting stores today. Normally I would go over them individually and in more detail, but I’m in a bit of a time crunch right now because later tonight I will be seeing Ulrich Schnauss live in New York City (more U.S. tourdates here) so I’m lumping them all together into one post and doing a quick overview for today. I’ll probably post about them in more detail at some time in the future.

  • Diary of Dreams - The Plague
    Diary of Dreams has a new album coming up next month, and this single gives you a nice preview. Two versions of “The Plague” plus additional songs “Allocution” and “Traumtänzer”.
  • Götterdämmerung - Of Whores and Culture
    This is kind of a gothic/new wave band from the Netherlands, and their new album (with quite an interesting title) features 10 new songs. Check out some of their music here.
  • Coppelius - Time-Zeit
    Coppelius is an interesting band combining rock music with cellos, clarinets, the double bass, and other more traditional instruments. They also seem to have an old-fashioned sense of style. Check their MySpace page for some music. Thanks to Maija for pointing this one out.
  • Laibach - Nova Akropola (re-release)
    And finally, I thought I would point out that one of Laibach’s older albums, Nova Akropola, is being re-released today. I know, they’re Slovenian, not German technically. But they have strong links to Germany, often use the German language, and are adored by most German music fans I know, so they’re approved.

There you have it. The terribly abridged, perhaps even rushed version of today’s releases. I’m sorry I don’t have more time to get into the details, but I’ll provide you with everything you need to know over the next few days. See you tomorrow.

    […] The single “The Plague” started the hype for the new Diary of Dreams album a few weeks ago, and now its release date is finally just around the corner. In less than 2 weeks, on October 26th, Nekrolog 43 will be released in Europe. The album will be available in 2 different versions, both boasting over 70 minutes of music within their 13 tracks. With the limited edition, you also get the special “ecolbook” packaging (which is basically a CD-sized hardcover book) containing 32 pages of special artwork and photos. There is also a special CD label that is different from the regular version. […]
