WISBORG - WISBORG [LIMITED] LP

The hopefuls of the German gothic scene are back!

Almost three years after WISBORG's last album "Into The Void", the band is a different one: Appearances at M'era Luna, Amphi Festival and Plage Noire as well as opening for Lord of the Lost on their tour for the ESC hit album "Blood & Glitter" have not only significantly increased the popularity of the goth rockers, they have also merged WISBORG, which have now grown into a quartet, into a permanent unit. For the first time, the band worked with Lord of the Lost frontman Chris Harms as producer, who also appears as a feature guest on the lead single "Im freien Fall". The album further- more features two more songs with guest appearanced by JE T’AIME and THE FRIGHT. For the first time, the new album features German lyrics only. "Singing in German is a double- edged sword," explains frontman Konstantin Michaely. "If your audience understands right away what your songs are about, then the lyrics naturally carry more weight. This makes you more vulnerable, but at the same time more approachable. Many German bands hide behind the English language, we have actively decided to break down this hurdle and to get into more direct contact with our (German) fans from now on."

WISBORG's usual thematic melange of love, sex and death with an existentialist superstructure is also expressed in the new album, but on the one hand it is presented in a much more nuanced way, on the other hand it is supplemented by themes such as loneliness and isolation in the big city, social anxiety and failing to live up to one's own expectations. Last but definitely not least, the songwriting of the eleven tracks is more sophisticated than ever.

"WISBORG" goes straight to the ear, but with each subsequent listen, it unfolds new levels in- stead of wearing out and doesn't care about genre standards. To coincide with the release, the band will accompany Schattenmann on their "Día De Muertos" tour in February and March. In this context, the songs of the new album "WISBORG" will be presented live for the first time!
