Dark rock/metal duo Schädlich & Söhne, which features Guido Meyer de Voltaire (Aardvarks, Misticia, ex-Bethlehem) and Yantit (Eisregen, Ewigheim, Goatfuneral), has postponed the debut album Zweckpessimismus release to 21 March 2025.
The duo posted on its socials: "Due to changes at the label and ongoing problems with the production of the recordings (the 2 CD media book is still not ready/hasn't arrived), we/Massacre Records are forced to postpone the release of Zweckpessimismus to March 2025! As of today, it would not have been possible to prepare and ship everything so that you would have your hands on the album in time on December 6th 2024! It's bitter, but this decision was unavoidable because a proper release also requires a certain amount of lead time. We now hope (still) for your understanding/many fingers crossed, and wish you all the best!
Schädlich&Söhne"
