PromoFabrik Webblog: NACHTMAHR will unleash hell on August 7, 2009

The nightmare of this crisis-ridden world has only just begun as L’AME IMMORTELLE mastermind Thomas Rainer’s industrial formation once more undergoes a revolution in style. After he transformed himself with the preceding albums and the cult single ‘Katharsis’ into the wildly-accaimed ‘dance dictator’ of international concert halls and clubs, he now returns with a triumphant and unified work of art which only now properly inaugurates the ‘war on the dancefloor’: ‘Alle Lust will Ewigkeit’ conjures up in its title the cyclical philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, and thus it becomes clear: NACHTMAHR doesn’t bring back the shattered memory of past times; NACHTMAHR is much more a state of being: dressed in the garments of the warrior, they celebrate the rumbling storm of the beats as their eternal flame of desire and sin.

More than ever, sexuality seeps into in this work. Whilst in the booklet the NACHTMAHR girls loll around provocatively, with a song such as ‘Sklave’ (in English, ‘Slave’) one conjures up sadomasochistic scenarios. NACHTMAHR’s musical ‘will to power’ reaches a higher level: the ‘vendetta’ will silence the sceptic, the ‘Code Red’ for those who falsely believed themselves to be in the final moments of tranquility. NACHTMAHR whet the blade with a new battle cry: “Because I can!”

Among the pounding EBM beats and the rasping industrial noise, NACHTMAHR have dusted themselves down and do the dance of decay from Moscow to Berlin all the while inflaming the greedy mob. Because ‘Alle Lust will Ewigkeit’!

Biography:

„I only have one interest: i don’t care if you live or die: I just wanna see you dance !“

This is the motto that made Thomas Rainer create his new musical project NACHTMAHR in 2007. After the Austrian artist has achieved worldwide success with L’AME IMMORTELLE and SIECHTUM in the past 11 years, he returns to his roots: the boiling dancefloors of industrial and goth clubs alike

Inspired by numerous years of Djing NACHTMAHR is the missing link between merciless and provocative Industrial and the hammering power of Techno. The first release “Kunst ist Krieg” and it’s club hit “BoomBoomBoom” instantly conquer the dancefloors worldwide.

With the release of the full-length album “Feuer frei!” the success of the EP was exceeded by far: Germany’s biggest and most influential dark music magazine ORKUS quoted: “This is the new standard for the electro industrial genre” and the club single “Katharsis” dominated the clubs for months.

After two extensive tours through the United States and concerts in all parts of Europe and Russia NACHTMAHR is ready for another attack !

The new album entitled “Alle Lust will Ewigkeit” continues in the uncompromising and relentless path of destruction the Austrian Industrial project has chosen: heavy distorted beats, driving basslines and addictive melodies to pave the way to total club domination.
