What do you do when DEPECHE MODE announce a press conference in Berlin? Of course, you apply for press accreditation. Since Berlin is quite far, I already drove to our capital the day before. Better safe than sorry. On the press conference day, 4 Oct 2022, I fist had a nice breakfast around the corner and then headed over to the Berliner Ensemble, where the conference was taking place. Already some photographers and press people were waiting… and of course some fans. Most of them were heading to a nearby pub, where all the winners of different raffles were meeting up. - Details

Swedish Black / Thrashing troop SARCATOR is gearing for the sophomore album, ‘Alkahest’, out 21 October via Black Lion Records on CD, vinyl, cassette, and digital formats. Aged 17 to 23, these reapers have continued sharpening their blades ever since their emergence in 2010. SARCATOR is now streaming the lyric video for the track ‘The Long Lost’, the album’s third and final single.SARCATOR informs: “‘The Long Lost’ is an experimental song but at the same time a pretty simple one. The western inspiration for this song really shines through in the acoustic intro, middle part, and outro. We wanted those parts to sound like ‘a man and his guitar doing his thing.’ This song is the only one where we chose to tune down the guitars, which we thought the song demanded to show the full potential of its heaviness.”

In addition, twelve other big names and exciting high-flyers have been announced for the twin festival in Scheeßel and Neuhausen ob Eck.MUSE is one of the most influential voices of our time. With their recently released number one album ‘Will of the People’ and a lavishly staged live show, the British icons around Matthew Bellamy have left no doubt that they will continue to be ground-breaking and innovative in the future. DIE ÄRZTE have also left their mark on the music landscape. Perhaps most impressive of all their successes is that the trio, which celebrates their 40th anniversary this year, has been on the side of good for four decades: loud at the right moment, always socially involved and, especially on stage, always careful to express themselves not resting on one’s considerable laurels.
