Back to the roots with new ideas, new inspiration and a modernized sound! That’s one way you could describe the new album SHAPE SHIFTERS by STILL PATIENT? in just a few words. But there’s much more to it than that. Breaking the silence after 14 years with the 2014 EP release, STILL PATIENT? are now back with their first full-length album, harkening back strongly to the traditional musical beginnings of the band, all the while rejuvenating it with a modern production. 10 powerful, melodic and danceable songs, mixed with atmospheric sounds , merged with the unique style of STILL PATIENT? make SHAPE SHIFTERS a future milestone of the Dark Rock genre. In addition, the album also features the 2012 re-recorded version of the classic track MASCARA OSIRIS, which has only been released on a compilation so far.

It’s not possible to imagine one dark music world without the gothic novel band ASP. For more than 15 years do the fans enjoy their songs, lyrics and the great voice of front singer Alexander Spreng. After great albums they changed their way of style in 2011. With new members in the crew they started a very own kind of music with albums like ‘Maskenhaft’ and ‘Per Aspera Ad Aspera’. After a successful festival season and a very great performance on the M’era Luna Festival 2015, the new album will be released on 16th October 2015 and this should be celebrated!

SAMSAS TRAUM have confronted us with extraordinary music and interesting texts for 19 years.

As the title already reveals: Friedrich's story is told, the story of a boy growing up in National Socialism whose passion is the writing of poetry. As a person who is classified as maladjusted by his milieu and schizophrenic by doctors, he is befallen with the destiny of numerous other disabled or mentally ill people – his life is ended in the name of euthanasia in the NS killing centre Hadamar in the most horrible way.
