Discovered by The Retrosic, the german dark electro act Dunkelwerk has taken a very deep breath since its first sign on the "Cyberl@b vol.4" sampler. After several remixes and compilation appearances the band's label now announces the pre-sales for the long awaited debut album "Troops". Leading its listeners to the wastelands of World War I and II, "Troops" offers strong electronics combined with sorrowful orchestral arrangements and marching beats. No place for glory, no victory just the sweet smell of discomfiture.
By using themes and images of war this remarkable project offers an
atmosphere of desertion, loss and defeat. The sundown of the heart, the end
of hope. When fanfare flags stop waving, when troops get lost...
DUNKELWERK keeps advancing, its hammering sonic invasion echoes throughout
the ruins scattered across a decimated landscape. A 100% Electro-Industrial-Dancefloor club-mission for the
disheartened troops marching in formation behind ear-terrorists like
:WUMPSCUT:, HOCICO and early SUICIDE COMMANDO.
A new pitiless harsh elektro propaganda machine is progressing towards your
direction... you have no escape and surrender is not an option. The album has been mixed by Len Lemeire (Implant, Anne Clark, ...) and will include 2 bonus remixes, one by The Retrosic and one by Plastic Noise Experience. Troops is also released as a deluxe carton 2CD box with cards, poster and a bonus disc including special tracks and remixes. You can check audiopreviews from this release below.
