Einstürzende Neubauten will release their new album “Lament” (Rough Trade) in 1 month, on November 7, surely one of the highlights of 2014 for many Release readers. Album cover and track listing below, new press pic above.
It has been known for quite some time that the new piece is to be premiered at Diksmuide in Belgium on November 8 as part of the commemoration of a battle 100 years before. The whole album ”Lament” is inspired by World War One and the band has digged into historical archives – listened to interviews with prisoners of war for instance. ”Lament” has also included music of the Harlem Hell Fighters, Afro-American soldiers who fought on the French side.
Diksmuide marks the start of a 17 date tour.
