Even if Thomas Rainer from Nachtmahr told us that there is still a future for L'Ame Immortelle, it seems that Sonja Kraushofer (Persephone) thought it was time for something new. Coma Divine for instance!
Sonja Kraushofer found company in Ashley Dayour who is also known from gothic rock-institution Whispers In The Shadow , Martin Hoefert (Persephone & Ex-Sopor Aeternus), Franz Heinrich Lirsch and Wolfgang Luckner.
According to themselves their approach differs from the sound they‘ve been getting famous for.
Described as exploring new boundaries melted with neo-classical arrangements, melancholic guitars combined with heavy riffs and catchy refrains.
Their debut "Dead E,nd Circle" will be out this summer on SPV. Of course Peek-A-Boo keeps you informed.
The Godfathers are, along with De Brassers, in Ghent at 24th June for their comebackgig.
In the meantime, they have released a brand new studio single "The outsider" as a worldwide download on iTunes via Secret Records and Films on Thursday 2nd June.
'The Outsider', is produced by Bernie Torme & The Godfathers, and follows the February download issue of 'Back Into The Future'.
Both tracks will feature on the London band's as yet untitled forthcoming studio album set for release later in the year.
Apart from their Belgian gig, The Godfathers play 4 Spanish dates in June - Charada, Madrid on Wednesday 8th June, Blackbird, Santander on Thursday 9th June, Kafe Antzokia, Bilbao on Friday 10th June & Le Club, A Coruna on Saturday 11th June.

In our series from new talent (that hopefully will never stop), we present you Hertzmaschine.
We are already familiar with a Blitzmaschine from Germany but this machine comes from Buenos Aires, Argentinia.
This trio is fronted by Adam [Voice, lyrics, programming], Lothar [Programming & Synths] and Dj Angel [Programming & Synths, backing vocals, visuals]
They recently released a demo which contains 6 songs, among them a cover from Depeche Mode's "Blasphemous Rumours".
Sometimes they do it with an EBM-touch, sometimes futurepop, sometimes in Spanish but not once we thought it was bad.
On the link below you can discover Hertzmaschine's music yourself.
Our Belgian friends from The Dark Cat keep on coming with good gigs.as on Saturday 25th they prsent Latino Body Music with Arian 1.
Arian 1 started during 1992 in the city of Lima(Perú), with brothers "Eduardo Leiva" and "Cesar Leiva". They began as most musicians of the time, in garage bands, trying different trends and sounds of the underground scene in Lima.
...
In the beginning, they experimented with different styles of electronic music which later (1993-94) were defined as "EBM" [electronic body music].
After a long break [2000 – 2006], "Arian 1" came back in 2007 with a single called: "Machine Gun".
The last 2010 release was " Immersion" LP in this work they began and experimented with different styles in the electro music scene. then the band signed with Latin American label "Orion Records" and thanks to they started a new era in cooperation and distribution with the best and most influence alternative labels around the globe.
Now Arian 1 are probably best described as a bit harder Futurepop mixed with industrial sounds and some EBM.
