*****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!

Xandria are:
Lisa Middelhauve: vocals
Marco Heubaum: guitars
Philipp Restemeier: guitars
Nils Middelhauve: bass
Gerit Lamm: drums

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.
