*****THIS
WEEK'S MUST-HAVE RELEASE
!
XANDRIA
"SALOME - THE SEVENTH VEIL
(BONUS TRACK)"
FEATURES A BONUS REMIX BY JESUS
ON EXTASY!!
A touch
of feminine sensuality, a hint of far away strange places where only
wishful
dreams will take us, carried on wings of metallic hardness and at the
same time accompanied by that certain darkness - these images come to mind
when listening
to the music of Xandria, a band who can look back on
four successful albums.
Following the stir that the band had already created on the
underground scene with several demo songs which had been released on the
Internet, Xandria laid the cornerstone of a long career in 2003 with their
debut
"Kill The Sun". The release was greeted by enthusiastic reactions and made
directly for the German Media Control Charts, followed by a tour all over
Germany. When they headed for the album charts one year later on the black
wings
of "Ravenheart", carried by Celtic winds, a mythical element had become an
ingredient of their music. They stayed in the charts for a full two
months,
making no. 36, and enchanted their growing fan base with the fantasy clip
which
accompanied the title track
"Ravenheart" and has come to be considered a classic of the
genre. The press were unanimous in their praise, and tours and festival
performances followed.
Summer 2004 saw the band play the main stage of the Summer Breeze
festival and the Busan International Rock Festival in Korea - the biggest
in
Southeast Asia -, where they wowed 30,000 people. "Ravenheart" went on to
beat the pants
off the debut's success, the band joining the ranks of the luminaries
of the scene.
But what exactly is it that makes this band so enormously
fascinating? The musicians blend metal with visionary sonic landscapes
into the
soundtrack of another, very different world. Xandria's world allows you to
be
vulnerable or strong, show emotions and live all those dreams that reality
seems
to sneer on. With the release of their fourth and by far best album Salome
- The
Seventh Veil, Xandria secures their position as one of the best
gothic-metal
acts in the world. Artoffact Records' release of this classic gem comes
with a
bonus remix of the hit single Sisters of the Light from Jesus On Extasy
and is
not to be missed!

L'AME
IMMORTELLE "JENSEITS
DER SCHATTEN
CD+DVD"
‘Jenseits der
Schatten’ is released as a 6-panelled digipak in DVD size with a lavish
booklet
full of live photos and in a slipcase finishedwith silver foil-blocking. A
collectors’ item which no L’AME IMMORTELLE fan should be without! After
L’AME
IMMORTELLE proved with the brilliant concept album ‘Namenlos’ and the
February
2008 tour of the same name that they aren’t yet dead (in fact quite the
opposite), that they still pack plenty of energy and creativity and that
old as
well as new fans could be equally enthusiastic about them, there is now
the live
DVD/CD, ‘Jenseits der Schatten’. Recorded on the ‘Namenlos’ tour, the DVD
resurrects once more the unique concept of music and theatrical elements.
For
135 minutes in total, you can see how Sonja Kraushofer and Thomas Rainer,
with
their perfectly-attuned live band and the author/actor Thomas Sabottka
translate
the wildly acclaimed concept of the album to a live setting. No hit is
missing from
the band’s long history: from ‘Bitterkeit’ to ‘Life Will Never be the Same
Again’ to
‘Fünf Jahre’, the entire range of the band is presented, whereby some
songs are offered
with surprising new arrangements. Here the electronica of the early days
and the rather rockier gothic
elements of the last album meet hammering industrial attacks and
heart-rending synth harmonies. German
poetry and raging English lyrics both complement and contrast with each
other,
as do the well-known voices of both artists. But that isn’t the least of
it! The DVD offers extensive bonus material which shows out-takes from
the tour, such as how the band feel backstage and in addition,
a documentary about their trip to Moscow and exclusive tracks from
the opening of the tour in Vienna. Not only
the home town of Sonja and Thomas, but above all the home
of the Friedhof der Namenlosen (the ‘Cemetery of the
Nameless’, which provided the inspiration for the concept of ‘Namenlos’).
Goosepimples are guaranteed when
you experience this unique concert experience at home! In addition
to the extensive DVD, there is also a perfect live recording
of the concert on CD. Released on Trisol and available December 8th,
2008.
