The band have also shared the video for their single 'More Than', which captures their own footage from recent tours around the world. They've said of the video:

"People are always asking us what being on tour is like and how it feels to get to travel to so many different countries and meet so many new people, so we thought that a great way to share our experience is by filming some of it and turning it into a video. This video is a collaboration of all the footage the three of us shot while on tour in Tokyo, Sweden, Switzerland, and London. We wanted to capture the frenetic pace of nightlife, the eclectic scenery of each venue, and all the fun people who show up every night and make our jobs so rewarding and awesome."

Their latest album ‘Move in Spectrums’ was produced by the band and Violens’ Jorge Elbrecht and saw Au Revoir Simone – consisting of Heather D’Angelo, Erika Forster and Annie Hart – create some of the finest songs the band have recorded. Having each taken a break after touring their last album ‘Still Night, Still Light’, they individually started writing again. Eventually, they shared their creations with each other; the result produced the sort of excitement and magical chemistry that has always marked the friendship between these three ladies. They swiftly became engulfed in creating another record. ‘Move in Spectrums’ is an honest refraction of three lives weaving together in a thirst for life, sensation, truth and love.

Out now is the new SCHWARZBLUT "album Gebeyn aller Verdammten" (Eng: Bones of the damned). This album, a must have for Das Ich and Laibach fans, is their 3rd full-length album and offers upbeat material full of raw synths combined with film score-like orchestrations.
 
The album includes texts by 17th, 18th and 19th century poets and philosophers such as Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), Friedrich Theodor Vischer (1807-1887) and Moritz Graf von Strachwitz (1822-1847). Although being their most up-tempo album ever, "Gebeyn aller Verdammten" features the band’s most prominent classical arrangements to date.
 
"Gebeyn aller Verdammten" is available in a CD and 2CD version including the 8-track remix bonus disk ‘Korperreliquien’ with remixes from CONSUMERJUNK, ANGELS & AGONY, NOCX, HELALYN FLOWERS, STURM VS PASZ, AESTHETISCHE, ZEON and CARSTEN ALTENA. For ANGELS & AGONY this is their first reappearance in years and hopefully also means their comeback..
 
SCHWARZBLUT was founded in 2007 and signed with Alfa Matrix in 2009.Through Alfa Matrix the band released the EP "Sehlenwolf" (2009), their debut album "Das Mausoleum" (2010) and their sophomore full-length release "Maschinenwesen" (2012). Early 2014 Schwarzblut returned to the scene with the 5-track EP "Bis aufs Blut", which was also teaser for this new album.

The band’s goal is an inflammable cocktail of partly structured, partly improvised energy. But in the end the band is about rock. And roll, if you wish. Never a f*** dull moment. If you are the kind of person that needs labels, try ‘guerrilla rock’ or ‘post punk’ for size. Betonfraktion is streetwise. All the more, not to say mostly because the street is were they find their lyrics. Not meant to be a metaphor, this. Swarth picks up scraps, literally. Hastily written scrawls, love poems, snorters, you name it. No matter how filthy they look. There’s no sense in discriminating rubbish! Frank Crijns, guitar & devices

Andrzej Wajda’s dazzling Man of Marble is also one of the key films of the 1970s. Often described as the ‘Polish Citizen Kane’, Wajda’s epic operates as both an electrifying political saga and a compelling analysis of the nature of cinema itself.

Mateusz Birkut, a bricklayer, glorified in a marble statue as a State-promoted ‘Worker’s Hero’ is subsequently removed from all official mention in 1952. Flash forward to the early 70s where young documentary filmmaker Agnieszka obsessively pursues his story. Birkut’s rise and fall and disappearance into obscurity provides Wajda with a framework for a brave reassessment of the period. 

Although suppressed by the authorities, Man of Marble became a milestone in Polish cinema and an undoubted influence in the subsequent dismantling of the totalitarian system in Poland.

This Special Edition 2-Disc DVD set is presented in a superb new director-approved HD digital transfer with restored picture and sound, and features newly filmed and exclusive interviews with director Andrzej Wajda, lead actress Krystyna Janda and 'unofficial' assistant director on Man of Marble, renowned filmmaker Agnieszka Holland - plus a booklet featuring a new essay on the film by writer Michael Brooke.
