Finnish quintet Blind Channel release their second album “Blood Brothers”.
A tempest is brewing from the North! Young Finnish quintet Blind Channel is seriously delivering the goods on “Blood Brothers”, a searing onslaught of thundering riffs, catchy grooves and an addictive fusion of hit-laden melodies and sizzling energetic aggression.
Oh boy, these lads know how to conjure up songs that will get stuck in your head forever and they are absolute masters at delivering them with full force! On their new album, “Blood Brothers”, Blind Channel always seem to find the perfect balance between infectious tunes, raw power and just the right amount of ultra-violence to keep things spiced up.
Anthems like the groovy “Sharks Love Blood”, the lashing attack of “Wolfpack” or the gigantic “Alone Against All” seem destined for the big arenas and induce the serious urge to shout along out loud, while headbanging and jumping around to exhaustion. And the rest of the album doesn’t let up either.
The group sifts elements from a variety of different styles and throws them all in a blender with a mighty dose of youthful zest to create a monstrous melodic powerhouse that feels destined to take the world by storm!

Suicide Commando returns with a hard-hitting club EP release. “Death Will Find You”!
Suicide Commando return with a hard-hitting club monster of an EP release. “Death Will Find You” delivers the goods in the form of two new songs, plus six floor-filling exclusive remixes.
From Suicide Commando’s latest album “Forest Of The Impaled”, the smashing floor-fillers “Death Lies Waiting” and “We Are Transitory” quickly became fan-favourites and mandatory spins at club events around the world. Hence, it is little wonder that Johan van Roy decided to use them as centrepieces for an all-out club assault, getting some fresh takes on the material with some searing remixes by the likes of The Firm Inc./E-Craft, Binary Park and Ruined Conflict. The mixes are backed up by two brand-new songs, the towering, darkly atmospheric “Black Hole”, which was co-written by Mario Vaerewijck (ex-Insekt) and the thudding club-tune “I’d Die For You.” Suicide Commando are back to invade your local dance floor and personal sound system – The end is near, so dance the apocalypse!

“Salzig schmeckt der Wind” (= the wind’s salty taste) is a retrospective of the musical history of Rummelsnuff. It features the singing muscleman’s greatest hits and classic tunes in newly remastered glory, with some of them re-recorded with the help of his sonic soulmate Mate Asbach, on a 2CD or double vinyl set.
A comprehensive compilation of the body of work of one of the most original Pop-artists to come out of Germany was long overdue. Starting out as an avant-garde-Punk-musician in the GDR to become a body builder and bouncer at Berlin’s legendary club “Berghain” and then a successful solo musician and press darling – Rummelsnuff’s story is as impressive as his muscular build, which is often described as a cross between Popeye and the incredible Hulk. Furthermore, most of his older works are long out of print, with an ever-growing fan base longing for the captain’s classic sports ballads, raw working man’s tunes and sea shanties. Hence, “Salzig schmeckt der Wind” does not only contain the titular maritime anthem – no, captain Rummelsnuff himself takes us on a journey through his oeuvre, from the beginnings in 2004 to the current creative highlight “Rummelsnuff & Asbach.”
Rummelsnuff and his trusty sidekick, Mate Asbach, have re-recorded a selection of classics to include them in new and improved versions and all songs have been expertly remastered and overhauled, hence this set will appeal to both new and old fans alike. In times where the music landscape is becoming more and more bland because everything tends to sound the same, we are in dire need of something original. And Rummelsnuff is so unique, raw and utterly lovable that he is pretty much the secret superhero of the German music scene. Captain – take us on a journey!
