Their debut album “STRONGHOLD” was certified the most successful German alternative album by the official German Alternative Charts, DAC. With their second album “CODED MESSAGE: 12” and the single “RICHTFEST”, the band was declared to be the third successful “DAC SINGLE ACT NATIONAL 2005”, right behind RAMMSTEIN and German cult band DEINE LAKAIEN. Up to the present day, they have been playing gigs and festivals in more than 25 different countries, had number 1 hits in all relevant album charts, and their celebrated remix cooperations (for instance, “DAS LETZTE STREICHHOLZ” and “TRÄUMST DU” with OOMPH!) even became top 10 hits in Germany’s mainstream MEDIA CONTROL CHARTS.

And now they’re back, turning over a new leaf with their third album “BESTIE: MENSCH”: [:SITD:].

The beast in man, as BESTIE MENSCH might be translated, is our constant companion: We see it every day, in the TV footage of the news, in the press headlines or even when we look in the mirror in the morning, but most of the time, we fail to notice it. “BESTIE: MENSCH” looks behind the façade of human nature – controversially and alarmingly, but not entirely without hope. In contrast to “CODED MESSAGE: 12”, there is no overall concept to “B:M” – with their newest work, the artists didn’t want to feel restricted by thematic limitations. And maybe that’s why “BESTIE: MENSCH” has become such a versatile album, dealing with a variety of topics. The beast shows many different faces: The new single “KREUZGANG” (here available in a new and exclusive V.2 version) for instance even depicts an attempt in depth psychology by dissecting the relationship between offender and victim (such as described by the “Stockholm syndrome”).

Apart from that, [:SITD:] have some musical surprises up their sleeves, though they never lose touch with the strengths and qualities they’be become famous for. The songs cover a quite eclectic musical scope and range from hard and dynamic to melodic and emotional, from experimental pieces to dancefloor fillers. “[:SITD:] have unquestionably taken the lead of the German electro scene”, commented the German dark wave magazine Sonic Seducer in its July/August issue. Therefore, fans have every reason to look forward to “BESTIE: MENSCH”!
