Hört euch den neuen Song "The Art of Torture" hier an:
Guitarist Jürgen Schmid states: "This song is a beast! Imagine some bastard thing between Frankenstein’s Monster and the Alien – this song delivers all the trademarks we stand for and even more. When you ask for a reference about the current musical development of the band, this would be one of my suggestions to check. And beware… it’s incredibly fast and also a lot of fun to play. Definitely an upcoming classic for our live shows. Lyrically we’re into a very old topic – torture… in any form we are able to imagine. I am always impressed by the loads of energy and creativity mankind can invest in mistreating each other. If you think civilization got rid of these bad habits of medieval times, I sadly have to smash your illusions. It was always here and will always be. It only changed its look."
