Das Ich announces new album Kannibale

The masters of harsh electronic music Das Ich have announced a new album titled Kannibale, and it is expected to hit the stores in October. Not much is known about Kannibale yet, except according to the band it is supposed to be their most brutal offering yet. Stay tuned for more information, previews of the soon-finished album will later be presented on Danse Macabre Records’ website.

If you aren’t yet familiar with Das Ich’s apocalyptic visions, be sure to visit their MySpace site for a whole bunch of full songs from their earlier records.

Die Apokalyptischen Reiter come out with Licht

Following the release of the single Der Weg, the German thrash metal band Die Apokalyptischen Reiter has now come out with the details for its seventh studio album: Licht will be released on 29th August. According to EMP.de, where Licht is already preorderable, there will be at least two different versions of the album, a normal CD version and a limited digipak edition with a bonus DVD.
