Not unlike the medieval players' previous album "Aus der Asche", which managed to reach the upper echelons of the German charts, Saltatio Mortis' latest effort promises to storm the charts just the same. "Wer Wind Saet" goes beyond the band's signature enthusiasm, catchy melodies, and passionate lyrics. It combines the best of contemporary and medieval elements to deliver premium Medieval Rock. By skillfully merging modern rock sounds with genuine traditional instruments, such as the bagpipe or hurdy-gurdy, Saltatio Mortis develop an exquisite dance connection that is crowned by the vocals of the charismatic frontman Alea. As a special highlight, legendary metal queen Doro joins Alea on "Salome", lending a mysterious and exotic touch to this track. Further songs like "Ebenbild", "Kaltes Herz", or "Manus Manum Lavat" also work well to create an upbeat and celebratory atmosphere, whether within the confines of your home or at one of the myriad Saltatio Mortis concerts to come. This is how to rock the ages-the Middle Ages, that is!Source: Newsletter

A long time ago, Individual Totem emerged as one of Germany's most innovative industrial bands. But even their most hardcore fans are not aware of the first real Totem release: a cassette-only album called Mumia Vera. Now hopelessly out of print and all but forgotten, Mumia Vera represents the early stages of Individual Totem, a unique sound that is years ahead of its time, and the seeds of what would become one of the top industrial bands of the 90s. This Fall, Artoffact Records will re-issue a new version of Mumia Vera, completely remastered and re-tweaked from the original cassettes, and incorporating the original artwork. What is more, Mumia Vera will be released as a limited edition double CD, including the entire Flow EP (including the Fortress A remix, one of the best tracks ever recorded, period). The release will also feature previously unreleased live material, and the limited edition will come with two new Individual Totem pins. More information coming soon!- Details

Brilliant news from the Artoffact label:Call us ambitious. Of all the sophomore releases we have heard through the years, nothing comes close to what Urceus Exit has conjured on Compensation For the Sound of Silence. As a pop album, the release is unforgettable. For synthpop, it is miles ahead of what is on the market today. Lyrically and musically, frontman Richard Duggan has over-reached and extended the possibilities of electronic pop beyond anyone’s wildest expectations. Compensation for the Sound of Silence is an epic album that will turn heads with tracks like “Drifting” and “The Worst that We’ve Become”. The listener is engaged and without a doubt every song is a sonic gem. In short, the album is brilliant and needs to be heard.
