A Tribute Album to Rammstein is Coming Soon!

When I say “soon,” I mean soon. As in, August 25th. Four days from now.

I had heard the covers of “Feuer Frei!” by The 69 Eyes and “Engel” by Priest, and I thought it was kind of odd (and awesome) that suddenly everyone was releasing their take on infamous Rammstein tracks. Then, I stumbled across a post on a Front Line Assembly fan page and saw that those two releases are part of a bigger project.

I’m pretty excited about this! The album features versions of songs such as “Du Hast,” “Sonne,” “Radio,” and “Deutschland,” by a slew of artists, including Front Line Assembly, Skold, Julien-K, and more. I will include the full track list below. You can order your copy on Cleopatra Records’ site.

Not My God Announces Farewell Tour

Not My God is an industrial project that features Tim Sköld (Shotgun Messiah, Marilyn Manson) and Nero Bellum (Psyclon Nine). The pair came together in 2020, releasing the self-titled Not My God on Valentine’s Day. This was followed by Simulacra in 2021 and, earlier this year, the twelve track Obverses.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and it seems that Not My God is calling it quits – after a final tour, of course…which also happens to be their first tour. Alongside Not My God will be Snakes of Russia, Clockwork Echo, and Death Loves Veronica. Tickets and VIP are available at skold.com.

Priest Shares Cover of Rammstein’s “Engel”

Priest is a synthwave act from Sweden that consists of former members of Ghost. The band has been releasing music since 2017 and were signed to Cleopatra Records in 2021. Having just wrapped a tour in support of Powerman 5000, Priest dropped their second single – and second cover track – of 2023 today, an interesting take on Rammstein’s well-known song “Engel.” Listen here:

New Music + Forgive My Absence

I’m actually going to start with the second half of my title. I haven’t posted in almost four months. Things have been really hectic since the start of Covid-19, as all of you know. In my case, I got a new job right as everything was shutting down. Lucky, right? I’ve been working a lot and the hours have been fairly steady, but the shifts aren’t very consistent. I’m tired more often than not, and I don’t do much on my days off. I guess this site just fell to the wayside. I would love to say that I’m back; however, I can’t promise that at the moment.

Now, for the important part of this post: NEW MUSIC!

Today, I woke up to a couple of songs from artists I adore (and have mentioned here frequently) — Third Realm and Aesthetic Perfection. The first is a collaboration between Vizion X and Third Realm, entitled “Joker,” while the second is Aesthetic Perfection’s ode to spooky season: a cover of “Pet Sematary,” originally by the Ramones. I will post the videos below.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to tell y’all about the new EP from my favorite Canadian duo, Strvngers. They have used their time in lockdown to record and the result is an EP that will drop December 15th. For a taste of what’s coming, keep an eye out for the first single/video, “Vita Brevis,” which will be released October 9th. And of course I will share it on my blog!

I hope this entry finds all of you well! Happy first day of Halloween! 🖤🧡
