Weena Morloch. Terror Uber Alles (Das Weena Morloch-Manifest). 4CD.

No other band in the German gothic/industrial scene is so shrouded in legend and rumour as WEENA MORLOCH. While recording their bloodcurdling debut album ‘Kunst-X=?’, the band based around SAMSAS TRAUM mastermind A. Kaschte caused a fire in the studio. The iconic and likewise long since sold out follow-up ‘Kadaverkomplex’, which commands astronomical sums on eBay, appeared a few days before the school massacre in Erfurt, Germany and yet due to the megahit ‘Kugel im Gesicht (9mm)’ (English: ‘Bullet in the face (9mm)’) appeared briefly in the charts and was (mis)used by ResistantX, who carried out a shooting spree in Emsdetten, in the soundtrack to his violent videos. The ear-splitting album ‘Epanalepsis’, which was much loved in Merzbow circles, appeared as part of the limited edition Samsas Traum DVD box set ‘Einer gegen alle’ and thus vanished into the eternal pit of noise. And you can could only hear the band’s EPs by visiting one of WEENA MORLOCH’s rare improvisation concerts or by seeking out the recordings on the internet with the aid of a microscope. Demand among fans for Weena Morloch’s old material has risen to the level of the immeasurable. Where can I buy ‘Kunst-X=?’ without having to pay €200? How can I get ‘Kadaverkomplex’ in my hands without having to travel to Russia? Where can I obtain the EPs without having to suffer the lousy YouTube-quality? The answer is finally simple: From us! With ‘Terror über Alles’, Weena Morloch release the complete collection of their early works in a bursting-at-the-seams and insanely-designed 4CD digipak, and at a price which will knock the wind out of the sails of all the profiteering, fan-exploiting dealers. Whether ‘Kunst-X=?’, ‘Kadaverkomplex’, ‘Epanalepsis’ or the sought-after EPs – everything is readily available on ‘Terror über Alles’. The package is rounded off by a complete live album from the band which was recorded during the course of the recent tour with Samsas Traum, and which writhes out of the speakers in a forceful, crystal clear and extremely unsettling fashion.
