With their first Brand New studio recordings in almost 15 years, The Fields Of The Nephilim truimphantly return with "Mourning Sun". This is instant classic Nephilim music ( no pseudo-hip experiments here ) : anything but an accidental stringing together of arbitrary songs it is a fascinating work of art, revealing encompassing complexity in its overall context. Their brand-new recording, "Mourning Sun" ( their first studio album since their legendary early '90's release "Elizium" ) is another haunting sonic journey which leads the listener into an uncharted world of mysteries and secrets that band mastermind Carl McCoy has been famous for in the past twenty years. "Mourning Sun" links spherical sonic images with driving rhythms, telling stories of a still uncharted future. "The lyrics of Mourning Sun are the words of today that give me a glimpse of tomorrow," explains McCoy, adding: "The whole thing is about looking forward as opposed to dwelling in the past".
To be able to fully concentrate on his ambitious work, McCoy retreated into total isolation, writing the album in a relatively short time. Based on the typical Nephilim sound, he worked on an evolution of his tried-and-tested stylistic devices and arrived at new artistic horizons. "Mourning Sun" is a progression of the previous Nephilim albums, from "Dawnrazor" through "Elizium" to "Zoon" he points out, "no comparison, only progression." He expresses himself in a total of seven epic numbers that live off their breathtaking density and haunting atmospheres. Tracks such as "Shroud ( Exordium )", "Requiem XIII-33 ( Le Veilleur Silencieux )" or the title track "Mourning Sun" ( with over 10 minutes playing time ) all stand in their own right, while at the same time complementing each other, blending into a complex whole. McCoy : "Every track has to be listened to in the context of the album."
Back at last - November 25th 2005 sees the eagerly awaited first ALL NEW release from Suicide Commando since 2003's "Axis Of Evil" album.

YES - it is official. The apocalyptic return of LEAETHER STRIP is here ! Claus Larsen is poised to launch his "Suicide Bombers" EP on the planet this October 2005 and he returns stronger than ever with an arsenal reloaded to the maximum for the ultimate dark industrial warfare all fans have been dreaming of. With countless albums under his belt, Claus Larsen has explored through his career various music styles within the electronic genre ranging from harsh aggressive EBM with distorted vocals to melodic dark synth pop, through more introspective bombastic symphonic orchestrations. This new EP gathers a bit of all these ingredients wrapped by Claus Larsen's unique genius and is no doubt the best present he could be offering to fans of strong electronic music with depth and edge !
Title track "Suicide Bombers" ( also available in a mind-blowing extended version reminding us of the good old days when 12" releases ruled the scene ) is no doubt one of the most powerful harsh EBM tracks ever written by Leaether Strip. Openly condemning suicide terror attacks, the EP continues to explore more political assaults with " Shame Of A Nation" which features a compelling song structure ultimately reaching an amazing climax in the second part of the song... "This Is Where I Want To Be" and "Death Is Walking Next To Me" are what we would call "classic Leaether Strip" tunes that showcase Claus Larsen's trademark characteristics : a punishing rhythmic pace and aggressive electronic style with distorted vocals. With "Til Far" the EP takes a darker and more symphonic turn before the aptly titled "Reborn" plunges us back into the powerful dark realms of Leaether Strip's rebirth. A sublime 7-track release that reminds us why LEAETHER STRIP has reached such a cult status on the electro / industrial scene, and has throughout the years recurrently been acknowledged by many artists as one of their biggest influences.
Leaether Strip has been copied by many over the years, but the new EP and forthcoming album will prove to you that Leaether Strip is the real deal when it comes to dark electro industrial music.
Andre Faria: I think it was the Computer World Tour.Apparently they would play more than one concert a night and nobody would know which show was really them
Jim Dandy: Hum... Don´t know. But during their concerts, when they play the music "The Robots", they get 4 robots to be on stage, while they go off the stage.
Finally, the 4th long awaited and anticipated masterpiece from :Of The Wand & The Moon with 15 Brand New tracks featuring collaborators with FORSETI and SONNE HAGAL. Musically this is Kim Larsen and :OTWATM: as we know it, but with a very big development in sound and atmosphere, delivering some of the best songs ever to emerge from this Danish cult folk-noir project. After the Trilogy of "Nighttime Nightrhymes", "Emptiness: Emptiness:Emptiness" and "Lucifer", a new chapter for :OTWATM: starts with "Sonnenheim".
