We are only one of the many bands supporting and appearing on the "electronic saviors : industrial music to cure cancer" 4CD compilation coming out on Metropolis Records in February 2010.

The compilation is put together by Jim Semonik, vocalist and founder of the US based project Rein[forced], who himself got diagnosed with and treated for cancer a few years ago.

When I first met Jim on our U.S. tour last year I was more than impressed with his way of handling his situation and his fight against cancer.

With my full heart I can say that Jim deserved more than just respect for handling his situation the way he did. For never giving up. Fighting for what matters most: Life.

The 4CD compilation features exclusive material on 83 tracks by bands such as Assemblage 23, I:Scintilla, Obscenity Trial, Combichrist, Nachtmahr, Suicide Commando, Aesthetic Perfection, Leather Strip, Iris, Deviant UK and many many more.

All proceeds from the sales of this unique compilation will directly go towards cancer research, so please support this great initiative!

The compilation is limited to 2500 copies and can be pre-ordered directly from Metropolis here:

All details about this compilation can also be found on Jim's compilation website here:

Please support the fight against cancer!

THANKS!

With "Soulstrip" we are about to release our third studio album on October 2nd 2009.

"Without overstatement I can say that 'Soulstrip' so far is my most personal and most intimate release" (Oliver about the new album)

Preceding to the album release with "Über's Wasser Gehen" and "Glück Auf" two singles have been released, which both have been written by Robin Grubert (amonst others Songwriter for Martin Kesici, Sasha, Christina Stürmer) and produced by Tino Oac (Söhne Mannheims). The nationwide realized radio promotion lead to remarkable radio airplay. "Glück Auf" entered DAC Single Charts already within one week - and still remains there for the third week now. The video to "Glück Auf" also found it's way on various TV playlists.

Together with Orkus, Zillo, Poponaut and Promofabrik we now present the "Soulstrip"-Webwheel to you. With this you have the option to listen to all songs of "Soulstrip" in full length before the release in October.

Enjoy "Soulstrip" :-)

After our current Single "Glück Auf" (Release 09/11/09) already made it's way on Television with the JUST MUSIC TV Playlist now also the Video got on Rotation with STREETCLIP.TV.
Since last Sunday the Videoclip is on Rotation at STREETCLIP.TV for the next 12 weeks.

To give you a more inside view of the Studio production of "Glück Auf" at the Indicative Studio with producer Tino Oac we just published a new Studio-PodCast (and yes, we partially didn't turn on much light in the Studio :-) ).

The PodCast can be found down here in this BLOG, on our MySpace-Profile, on YouTube or in our iTunes-PodCast-Section.

Enjoy :-)

After an extremely exciting week with our new Single "Glück Auf" entering the DAC Single-Charts, GEWC-Charts as well as the Video entering the Playlist of JUST MUSIC TV we are now extremely happy to be able to announce first Details about our upcoming Album "Soulstrip" today.

You can find all Details about our upcoming third Studio Album "Soulstrip" in our MySpace Blog.



 

 What a week. First "Glück Auf" enteres GEWC, then the Song entered the Playlist of JUST MUSIC TV...

We have just announced the Release of our second Single "Glück Auf" and already we were able to achieve first successes.

 

Not only the Song entered GEWC this week (http://www.gewc.de) on #12 but also first german TV Stations acquired a taste for it.

 

After 2007th TV-Premiere with "Daydream" now the new Single "Glück Auf" entered the Playlist of JUST MUSIC TV. JUST MUSIC TV is a network of Music-TV-Stations RCK TV, CLB TV, RLX TV and Jukebox broadcasting 24/7 nationwide on "Kabel Deutschland".

 

We are extremely curious how the Project "Glück Auf" will develop further until 09/11. 

Go for it! :-) The winner will be chosen by us on September 12th 2009.

 After the surprising success of the first Single "Über’s Wasser Gehen" we will release our second Single "Glück Auf" on 09/11/2009.

As with "Über’s Wasser Gehen" producer Tino Oac and the Indicative Studio put their hands on the new Single. "Glück Auf" is an Electropop ballad getting under your skin.

An anthem of life – honest, pure and direct.The Single is a digital-only Release and so the upcoming third Studio-Album "Soulstrip" is just around the corner.

"I think never before we sounded so organic, direct but still electronic" (Oliver Wand, Obscenity Trial-Mastermind)

"Glück Auf" as well as "Über’s Wasser gehen" was written by Robin Grubert and will be available for digital Download on 09/11 in all relevant Download-Portals (iTunes, Musicload etc...)

The Musicvideo of "Glück Auf" is now available on our MySpace-Site.

Tracklisting:

01 Glück Auf

02 Glück Auf (Instrumental)

03 Glück Auf (reWorked by s/w)
