This is the video for the first single from the current album “FH4″. Shawn “The Ultimate MC” Mierez is doing the vocals along with some help from Shaolyn and me.

Sorry for the lack of blood, darkness, cyberwarriors and zombies. I promise to put all of that into the next video :D

Yesterday (April 20, 2013) I came across a FB post by Daniel/Aesthetic Perfection who wrote

“Someone just asked if the new album had any dubstep influences on it. The answer? Absolutely. But not in any way you will ever recognize… ever.”

Of course this led to a large number of “fans” bitching and insulting Daniel – including completely baseless/retarded stuff like “I love how you have never had anything good to say about your fans…ever”.

Being who I am (and having no real plans for the weekend), I decided to make a dubstep album in a weekend and call it “Empires Of The Northern Lights v2.42″ (as a tribute to the 3 greatest dubstep bands of all time) … and then give it away for free.

And that’s what I did. I asked fans on FB for songtitle suggestions and at some point quotes from famous futurepop songs to help me with lyrics for “Up Yours, Solitude!”. It’s now Sunday, April 21, 2013 and with a little help from a lot of people I managed to write, record, produce, roughmix and ghetto-master 8 songs from total scratch. Except the title to “BroBM” none of the songs existed before.

If you want to listen to the tracks, hop over to: http://faderhead.bandcamp.com/album/empires-of-the-northern-lights-v242 and download it for free (or pay as much as you like). You can also just stream it if you only want to check it out. Try to listen on decent headphones or speakers. Laptop/computerspeakers really suck for bass-heavy music.

Is this an official Faderhead release? Yes. Otherwise I would have used a different name. Is it gonna be on CD? Most likely not. Is this the direction Faderhead is going? I doubt it.

Enjoy! And if you don’t enjoy it: please rant about it as much as possible :D

So the new CD is on its way to the manufacturing plant and it’ll be out on March 1st, 2013 on CD and for download at iTunes/AmazonMP3/Bandcamp/etc.! The album will be titled “FH4″ and it looks a little something like this:

It includes the following tracks:

01. Bitches All Know About My Boom (03:40)
02. Self Control (04:10)
03. Take Your Fuckin’ Meds (04:38)
04. Every Day Is One Less (03:36)
05. Dancers (feat. Shawn Mierez & Shaolyn) (04:06)
06. Coffee, Sex & Cigarettes (02:53)
07. Free (03:43)
08. No Time To Sleep (03:49)
09. Pornstar Dead (03:06)
10. What Doesn’t Kill Us (03:42)

12. Death.Robot.Deconstruction (04:26)
13. Drunk German Bono (feat. Brian Graupner of The Gothsicles) (03:17)

which add up to a total playing time of 49:34 minutes.

So much for now. Please help me spread the word by liking and sharing this all over the web.

Holy shit! Finally “The World Of Faderhead” is released (digitally)! This one was such a massive piece of work because after the album was done, we started working on a very unique visual concept that mixes panoramic images with video. We also decided to do the first ever Faderhead video with animation in it, so there was a huge amount of work to be done – and it literally took my partners in crime Boris, Alena and Klaus (and me of course) until 15:00 today!

Got curious what I am talking about? Head over to http://www.theworldoffaderhead.com and check out the site I made for this record. If you are reeeeaally curious, just hop over to the visuals section rightaway (but you’ll miss out on the full previews of all the tracks …).

This one is my favorite album to date and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
