German industrial legend Schuster released its third and final solo album, Schuster III - Final Ten Industrial Tracks, on 11 July on Bandcamp.

A concept album about Schuster's near-death experience caused by cerebral haemorrhage, Schuster III - Final Ten Industrial Tracks, was produced against all the current norms of the EBM genre: raw, live and authentic. Next to Schuster on his signature vocals, Nihil's samples create a cinematic sonic landscape around the hard-hitting beats, while Flexxxis Maschine infiltrates you with his psychoacoustic noise. Together, the trio welds a manifest of ten neck breaker songs into your brain's synapses. The conclusion to 40 years of mayhem in the German alternative scene and Schuster's "Industrial Tracks" trilogy. Follow the ageing hero's last musical journey into his final battle against trauma.

Schuster III - Final Ten Industrial Tracks features seven tracks in English and three tracks in the German language, and it was mixed by Nihil Media and mastered by Ben Blutzukker. All instruments were recorded live and intentionally produced without using quantization or copy-paste. No synthesizers and no keyboards were used, either. It is a stripped-down production designed as a tour-de-force experience for the audience and features stunning artwork by German designer Pixelbreed. All interior art is based on Schuster's authentic medical scans visualizing his injuries. The full booklet includes all lyrics. A concept album all through.

Rüdiger Schuster has been active in the German alternative scene with bands like Stumpff, ULAA and Unlucky Childz since the late 70s. His third and final solo album will feature a music video for each (!) of the ten songs. All music videos have been produced by Nihil Media using only GoPro action cams and embracing creative do-it-yourself methods.
