Weit entfernte Verwandte – Weit entfernte Verwandte

A flood of emotions sweeps over you, making you stagger, forcing you to your knees. Distant Relatives from Leipzig emerge from the twilight and hurl a monolith of post-punk and deathrock against all the mediocrity that has plagued the genre in the recent past.

Max's guitar rages like shattered bulletproof glass through the seven songs. Chameleon-like, Marleen's voice wraps around the harmonies. She sings about her inner demons and her relationship to the world, hauntingly and with biting humor. At the same time, the rhythm of drummer Alex and bassist Albrecht relentlessly drives you against the wall.
All of this happens with an almost frantic urgency, without a pathetic nostalgia filter.

Crystal clear recorded/mixed by Alexander Günther (Studio Tutti) and powerfully mastered by JB Meyrieux.
