Leaether Strip covers Depeche Mode and Lili Marleen on new album 'Aengelmaker'Claus Larsen has revealed the details of his upcoming album "Aengelmaker" which is now available in pre-order via Alfa Matrix. The album is inspired by the story of the Danish female mass-murderer Dagmar Overbye who was convicted of murdering at least 25 children between 1913 and 1925. She ran an advert in the newspaper where she offered to find adoptive parents for mothers in need of money. She actually murdered them the day they arrived and cremated them in her fireplace. During her trial, all the truth about her own abused childhood resurfaced. Her story inspired Danish solo-artist Claus Larsen to write "Aengelmaker". How can one forget his/her own abuse? How can one go through the hatred towards minorities? These questions resurfaced Larsen's own deep buried memories to haunt him again.
The release is presented in 3 formats, a 22-track double-CD, a 3CD (including the "Yes I'm Limited IV" bonus CD) and the 3CD version with a T-shirt. Note that the album holds two cover versions of the Depeche Mode classics Black Celebration, and Blasphemous Rumours next to a bombastic reprise of the German cult song "Lili Marlene". The "Yes I'm Limited IV" bonus CD holds a duet with Miss Unter Null on the Human League cover "Don't You Want Me" next to rare tracks and rare collaborations.
