So Alfa Matrix would like you to know that Dutch act Schwarzblut have a new album coming out called Das Mausoleum. Now, my German is a little rusty but I believe that translates to English as “The Mausoleum.” I could be mistaken, I don’t know.

The band blends romantic, melancholic Weimar poetry with danceable dark electronic music. Basically it sounds like Harsh EBM with occasional fits of angelic female vocals. But they have a “new angle” in that the lyrics are based on classic poetry verses. I mean, that makes it fresh and new, right?

You decide.
