It’s Friday, September 28th, and if this date sounds familiar it’s because there are a lot of new German music releases out today. There’s a little bit of everything for you… industrial, metal, gothic, rock, and pop. Here’s a quick overview of these 8 new releases just to refresh your memory. Click on the bold title to read the full article and get the tracklist for that album or single.

• Eisheilig - Auf Dem Weg In Deine Welt album

Eisheilig’s new album features plenty of dark, gothic rock sounds that have gained them quite a following in recent years. Ten new tracks will keep you company when you’re feeling down.

• Emigrate - New York City single

“New York City” is the first single from Emigrate, Rammstein guitarist Richard Kruspe’s side project. The single has 3 album songs plus a remix of “New York City” by Alec Empire and the “My World” music video which is based on the new movie Resident Evil: Extinction.

• Juli - Ein Neuer Tag live album and DVD

Juli has become one of the most popular pop rock bands in Germany over the past few years. Ein Neuer Tag is their new live album, not to be confused with their studio album of the same name. The Ein Neuer Tag DVD set features footage from several entire concerts.

• Kash and Nik Page - Kommunion single

Much more than just an ordinary single, “Kommunion” offers 6 remixes of the title song where Kash collaborated with Nik Page, plus 6 more remixes of previous Kash songs. A total of 12 remixes makes this more of an über-single.

• Krieger - Krieger album

Krieger is a brand new German rock band who looks very promising. Their sound is nice and heavy and they are under the same management company as Rammstein. This is definitely one to pick up.

• Nena - Cover Me album

One of Germany’s most famous pop musicians is doing coversongs of a wide range of bands from around the world. Nena’s new album Cover Me offers up 2 discs filled to the brim with her remakes of classic songs.

• Painbastard - Borderline album

Painbastard’s new album Borderline is sure to please fans of industrial-dance music. These 14 new tracks are the band’s main attraction, following the preview songs we heard back in July on Nyctophobia.

• Songs of Lemuria - Deep album

Songs of Lemuria covers bands from Nirvana to Einstürzende Neubauten on their new album, Deep. Their use of gothic-influenced classical music and the beautiful vocals by Michaela Laubach and Nik Page make the sound pretty deep, too.

Not bad for one day, eh?

The German pop-rock band Juli has a new live album being released tomorrow. Strangely, they gave it the exact same name as one of their studio albums, Ein Neuer Tag, just to confuse their fans. Well, I guess real fans of Juli would probably be able to tell the difference pretty easily, but it was a bit confusing at first to a casual observer such as myself. In any case, Ein Neuer Tag Live features 17 songs on the CD version. The DVD version actually has 2 entire concerts on seperate DVDs: one from a concert in Münster, and another from München (aka Munich for us English-speaking folks). There’s also a limited edition of the DVD containing 4 discs. The first 2 are the same as the regular edition, and the other 2 just have more of the same songs played in different venues.
