Berlin (Germany) based EBM/gothic artist XTR Human has announced the new album, Schrank, to be released on 17 May via Negative Gain Productions and Wie ein Gott Records. Born in fire and tempered in the batcaves and warehouse raves of Berlin, Johannes Stabel brings a leather-wrapped hammer to gothic nightlife. Amidst the burnt strobes and grime-soaked venues, Stabel reigns supreme as a Don, unleashing a torrent of raw emotion and relentless energy with Schrank, the fourth instalment in XTR Human's discography.
His deeply rich and arresting vocals herald back to the dark romance of '80s legends, while a mere flex of his fists sends brutal blasts of bass scurrying, emotional coldwave terminated beneath a furioso of modernized hardbody EBM beats that put the Schwarz in Schwarzenegger.
Schrank emerges as a bold declaration, fearlessly challenging prejudices and inspiring individuals to embrace their inner strength while pursuing their aspirations. It serves as a powerful catalyst, igniting introspection and propelling listeners into action. Check out the brand-new video for the track "Neid". Link
