Die Verlierer + Lohn der Angst @ Import/Export

In the organizer's words:

Although it is now common practice to press old Jamba ringtone successes onto records so that bearded Mainzers with COMPTON caps can write that the music itself has been reinvented, there are apparently still a few people who haven't noticed or don't want to notice today's zeitgeist. In terms of sound, the new VERLIERER record is reminiscent of an almost forgotten form of failure: the work-refusing underground rock of the decaying GDR.

Most of the songs sound as if a couple of "Asoziale Elemente" had plugged their instruments directly into the in-house system of the "VEB Waggonkosmetik". Only the lyrics, performed over a standard RFT "Black Devil", bring you back to the miserable present.

The very first song, entitled "das Gift" (the poison), speaks a clear language, as it deals with the abuse of the prescription drug PARKOPAN 5, which was used to treat Parkinson's disease in the GDR and whose thoroughly desirable side effects included being able to see everything in two dimensions. "Allesfresser" takes up the anti-individualistic Frank Schöbel song "Es gibt nicht nur Dich" and in "Albtraum" even the good old blues gun is unlocked. There are also references to the nudist beaches between Hiddensee and Wolgast, as ballads such as "Stacheldraht" or "Verkeilt" are about getting completely naked.

Unfortunately I can only go into a few songs because with a playing time of almost 45 (!) minutes you really get something for your aluminum chips here.

Comes out mid-June on Mangel Records.

with: Wages of Fear

"LOHN DER ANGST", the name is taken from the movie "Le salaire de la peur", is raw, drum driven, 80s live synth punk, inspired from the beginnings of NDW where it still was a melting pot of wave and punk and noise and whatever came to your paranoid cold war mind. The paranoia is back and it's everywhere! Time to take control like riding a truck loaded with nitroglycerin through the jungle.

synth/voc - Schwund (DasDas, Maske),
drums - Henne (Lötfett, Kryptkeeper)
