This weekend we’ll continue recording stuff for our next record starting tomorrow. We’ll go on with Jürgen’s guitars and some first vocal-tracks. Looking forward! For updates and pics please head over to our tumblr-blog.

Nicolai Hildebrandt did a nice video from AYC-festival we played in March. It features a song by the great radare. Go check it out on vimeo:

The third pressing of our second LP “at zero” is out now on wonderful black 180gr vinyl. If you want these two heavy pieces of wax head over to our shop.

We still have some LPs from the second pressing left on coloured vinyl as well.

The drums are in. For everything studio-related please head over to our tumblr-blog.

We’ll be starting with the recording process of “at zero”‘s follow-up this friday in Cologne. We’re really looking forward to that and will keep you updated.

Hey there. We only have ten pieces of the “at zero”-splatter edition left. There will be a repress on all black vinyl available later this month. So if you want to be one of the last people who get the splatter edition don’t wait too long and head over to our online-shop ;) …greetings from Cologne!

We just finished the songwriting process for our new album. The studio sessions will start April, 20th at Gottesweg Studios in Cologne. The album itself will be released this summer, probably in July. Stay tuned.

Siegen and Darmstadt, what a blast! Thank you all for coming around. And thanks to the AZ Siegen team and the Oettinger Villa team for the kind hospitality. What great nights! Hope to see you again soon. Now we’re going back to work for the recordings to the “at zero” follow up…starting end of April.

Only five more days to go then we’ll be on the road again heading to Siegen on Friday and Darmstadt on Saturday. We’re really looking forward to seeing you guys again.
