The Godfathers of German Gothic are back! Der Fluch (engl. “The Curse”) celebrated a thriumphant return to the stage at the world’s largest Goth-Festival “Wave-Gotik-Treffen” in Leipzig this year after a self-imposed Quarter-Century hiatus. The band’s first album was released in 1981 and that year saw the only and now legendary show of the cult-band that formed around famous German Punk-Singer Deutscher W. (main-man for Punk-legend “OHL”). Shortly afterwards the band was laid to rest and was only reanimated to record three studio-albums in the early 90s, before falling apart again. Since 1981, Der Fluch’s classic songs like “Halb Mensch, Halb Tier”, “Rattengift” or “Hexen leben länger” have become dancefloor-fillers and are among the favourite songs of the Deathrock- and Gothic-Crowd. Fiendforce is proud to welcome one of Germany’s most important bands back to the living and celebrates this with a re-recording of all the classic tracks that the fans have come to love. PLUS: For the first time in more than ten years, Der Fluch has recorded three all new songs in the vain of their old masterpieces. And now they invite you into the village of the damned. Take the best of Misfits, The Cramps, The Damned and Screaming Jay Hawkins plus the atmosphere of classic Universal and Hammer Horror-movies and you know what Der Fluch sounds like!
