Due to the outstanding response to the "Phantom Pain" video on SKORBUT 's websites the band has decided to feature this track as an EP prior to the release of the upcoming album. In addition to the title track five powerful remixes have been included. Two from label mates Novastorm and Kaos-Frequenz and three more from Fabious Corpus Act, Titans and Yade, bands who come highly recommended by insiders in the electro-industrial scene.
SKORBUT have also added a video clip on their new EP, which documents their live-performance of "Phantom Pain" from a concert in Minks (Belarus). The two founding members of SKORBUT are vocalist Daniel Galda and composer/producer Jörg Hüttner, who also works as a music and sound editor for Hollywood. Some of Jörg's recent credits include "Batman - The Dark Knight" and "Pirates of the Caribbean").Armin Küster alias Boris Black who previously collaborated with SKORBUT on remixes and as a songwriter has now joined the band as a third member. Armin's songwriting brings strong dancefloor elements to SKORBUT's welknown tricky electronic arrangements. Armin is the composer of "Phantom Pain".
This lineup of musicians has produced a mixture of EBM, Hellectro and Industrial. This potent evolution of SKORBUT's music is highlighted on their upcoming fourth album. The new album is scheduled to be released later this year.
The EP's cover art by Pixelbreed creates a strong visual metaphor of phantom pain as an unborn embryo.
Biography:
Daniel Galda and Joerg Huettner met one another in the so-called "Wagner City" of Bayreuth in 1993. The two musicians played under the influence of experiemental electronic music between 1994-1996 and recorded various demo sessions. At this point there was no thought to actually publish these songs. At this time, Joerg Huettner was an active member of the bands Relatives Menschsein and Dorsetshire. Daniel Galda was a member of kAlte fArben and made a name for himself as a live musician for Das Ich.
In 1998, Flatline Records took an interest in the duo's songs, and decided to put the song Fuel on their now legendary Flatline Compilation. The song was a hit for months in underground clubs across Europe and America. As a result, more compilation and sampler contributions followed and the call for a Skorbut release became stronger.
In 2000, Skorbut became a trio. The new man in the group was Rober Pollich. Robert strengthened Skorbut as a lyricist, live keyboarder and additional vocalist and was viewed as a full-time member of the band. The debut Album Log_In was released in 2001 with the german Label Scanner. This record was exceptionally well received abroad and established itself with songs like 5 Minutes Rhythm or Next Step Of Evolution in the Clubs.
Due to its success, Skorbut decided to begin work on a new Album. In 2003 the band and its original label Scanner parted ways. With the new label Sonic-X and with the 2005 launch of a new CD, Access All Areas, the musical journey of Skorbut continued.
In April 2007 Skorbut's third album Firewall was released. Ahead of the release of the full length album Firewall, a pre-release EP 9 Lives Later was made available for download on the Skorbut website. The band, which was again a duo, had noticeably progressed musically without losing any of their roots from earlier recordings. Firewall demonstrated a great step forward for the band, and was accompanied by new sophisticated artwork, photos and logo. Skorbut's artwork was done in cooperation with well reknowned photographer Ansgar Noeth.
Now in 2009 with the release of their Phantom Pain EP Skorbut are again a trio. Armin Küster alias Boris Black who previously collaborated with Skorbut on remixes and as a songwriter has now joined the band as a third member. Armin's songwriting brings strong dancefloor elements to Skorbut's welknown tricky electronic arrangements. Armin is the composer of Phantom Pain.
The new EP with its 6 tracks is an outstanding profressional production featuring a mixture of EBM, Hellectro and Industrial and includes a video clip.
The new LP is planned for 2009.
