1993, also vor 25 Jahren, erschien mit „Black Sunday“ unsere erste CD, die ziemlich schnell vergriffen war. Darauf enthalten: „Train From Moscow“, eine recht süßliche Schwarzweißmalerei, die uns aber vor allem im Ausland Türen öffnete, und nach der noch jetzt immer wieder live gefragt wird.
Die Umstände der Produktion begannen dabei tragisch: Auf der Fahrt zum Studio von THE ANGINA PECTORIS in Stuttgart gingen alle Programmierungen verloren. Die Stücke mussten dann von René Löffler blitzschnell neu programmiert werden, denn Studiozeit war ja irrsinnig teuer für unsere Verhältnisse, und damals beschlossen wir, uns ein eigenes Studio einzurichten und unsere Stücke selber zu produzieren, was wir bis heute tun.
Übrigens brauchen sich die drei anderen Stücke auch nicht zu verstecken, wobei eine Besonderheit dieses Minialbums darin liegt, dass jeweils zwei Stücke ineinander übergehen und zusammengefasst sind.
Wir veröffentlichen "Black Sunday" in einer digital remasterten Version.
In 1993, 25 years ago, our first CD "Black Sunday" was released, which was sold out pretty quickly. It includes "Train From Moscow", a rather sweet black and white painting, which opened doors for us especially outside of Germany. Until today this song is still asked to be performed live.
The circumstances of the production began tragically: On the way to the studio of THE ANGINA PECTORIS in Stuttgart, all programming was lost. The pieces had to be reprogrammed by René Löffler at lightning speed, because studio time was incredibly expensive for our circumstances, and at that time we decided to set up our own studio. Since then we're producing songs entirely in our own studio.
By the way, the three other songs do not have to hide either, whereby a special feature of this mini-album is that two pieces merge into each other.
We're releasing "Black Sunday" in a remastered version.

I love goth music. Sure, I love EBM — I practically have Northernlight memorized. But I'll always love that good ol' goth.
Terramortis really knows how to find Just the Right Song. Some people have a knack.
Hard to pick a favorite. Miazma/"Walk the Wire," Brotherhood/"Another Day," Sanity Council/"Skewered Blue," Double Echo/"Ancient Youth" all stand out. penwrecker
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
An epic dark rock record that will make fans of Sisters of Mercy swoon—massive chords and choruses, plus gothic grandeur. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2020
